We find the following details in private letters
rt.iblished in some German Papers:-

the proclamation of the Czarowitsch.
It is for history to do justieu to the generous
contention between the two brothers. Passions
and party spirit are • now too easily excited.—
'Prince Williams the second son of the King of
.Prussia, who is. sent to St. Petershurgh to corn-
pliment the Emperor, will pass through Warsaw ;
the Envoy of Saxony will take the. some way ;
those of the other Powers will do the same. This
mode of proceeding cannot fail to flatter the
Grand Duke •Coustantlue, whO has just taken the
oath from the Polish army, which he is still to

command. As he has not reserved to himself
any advantage by his renunciation, it is probable
that his appanage, which is said to amount to no
more that, two millions of rubles in paper, will
fiCst be sufficient to gratify his inclination to be-
nelicence. Forty officers who have been arrested

burgh. They are all young men, some of them
belonging to distinguished families. 'He shall
live,' wrote th'e Emperor himself to the wife of
Prince Troubetzkoy, who had hi vain sought re-
loge in the house of a Foreign Ambassador, his
brother-in•law---' he shall live, since he is so
fond of life.'

".ft is said that at St. Petersburgh, the in.
triguers wished to make the soldiers cry Con-
stantine for ever ! the Constitution for ever and
ss the soldiers, not knowing what the Constitu-
tion was, chewed some opposition, the intriguers,
taken unawares, answered that it was the s ife of
Constantine. Then the deceived soldiers cried,
4 Constantine for ever I Constitution for ever!'
" His Imperial Highness the Archduke rer-
dinand of Este set out for Vienna on the 11th, on
his mission to St. Petershurgh.
" The Grand Duke of Mecklenburg!) Schwerin
and the Margrave Leopold of linden, Inure also
set oat for St. Petersburgh. The Murgrsve will
also go to Taganrog, to express to the Empress
Dowager the interest token in her just at fiction

is a member.

" The last accounts from Odessa announce

PARIS, JAN. 23.—An English Baronet has
'been tried by the Tribunal of Correctional Police
for swindling. Last August he called on
Michaud, carriage anti harness-maker, Rue Mont-
AMU, to purchase a handsome carriage, to
which he Meant to Ina two fine horses which he
liad just bought. The bargain being concluded,
'he gave a check on M. Delessert, his pretended
banker. But M. Michaud having preseuted his
check for payment, found that he had been
cheated. The Court iientemeed the Baronet to
a year's imprisonment, to pay a fine of 3,000
franca, 2,550 francs' for the price of the carriage,
and 700 francs damages.
(From lhi Montleut: of Monday,)
VIENNA, JAN. o.—After mentioning the Ws-
.siou of Turkish negotiators to the headquarters
.of Ibrahim Pectin, to endeavour to make some

•arraugenlents with the Greeks it is added,
It is affirmed, however, that England and its
.agt►nta endeavour to paralyze these negotiations,
and that the British Government wishes to ar-
rogate to itself a kind of supremacy over Greece.
This disposition of Englami has not a little Comm.
tributed to the measure which the Porte has just
adopted ; for, notwithstanding all the friendly
declarations of the English Charge d'Affaires, it
still fears the British protectorate of the Greeks,
and is persuaded that the efforts of the Cabinet
of London tend to this effect. It believes, also,
that the mission of Mr. Stratford Canning has the
,same object.

RODUERY AND NIUDDI{D. SWITZEILLAND.—In
the arty part of this month, twelve or fourteen
men, whose faces were disguised, went, at a late
hour, to a fartn.housts near Douvaine, fourteen
miles from Geneva, and knocking at the door,
they begged to be admitted, stating that
they were traveller*, and had mistaken their
road. The farmer awoke his servants, and,
snspecting that these people were robbers, he
told them to depart, as their intentions would
be husrrated ; he informed them that he pos.
sestted no money, and was determined to resist any
forcible ebtranre that might be attempted. The
bamlitti walked round the farm, expecting to
find some weak part which they might attack
with safety ; two of these miscreants climbed
over a strong fence that protected the court-
yattl. The farmer perceiving them, tired his
glltt, and brought one of them to the ground. 'L'he
wounded mate was carried Away by his coMfades,

They afterwards Dvill to 'mother farm, half a
mile distant, and here they were successful- in
their attack ; having obtained admittance into
the house, they eUrried oil every article of valve,
and, meeting with some resistance, they mur.
tiered the fainter and one of his servants. The
blows which deprived those unfortunate persons
of their lives were inflicted with a sharp instiu-
4stent, probably a scythe.

EAST INDIA HOUSE.

A General Court of Proprietors of East India
Stock Was held yesterday, pursuant to adjourn-
ment from the 18th instant;
LORD AMINInT.

The minutes of the lust Court having been read,
The Hon. li. STANHOPE said, he wished, before the Court
proceeded to the consideration of the regular business of the
day, to put a question to the Hon. Chairman... He was anxious
to know whether the Marquis of Hastings or the Marquis
Wellesley had been nominated to the Government of Bri-
tish India ? Or whether Lord Amherst had been recalled ?
If this questipn were Satisfactorily answered, it would prevent
him from making is specific motion on the subject. His rea-
son for asking the question-was, because, in his opinion, I.ord
Amherst had plunged this country into a most expensive and
unnecessary -war ; and when he heard of the calamitous events
that had occurred in India,when he knew that numbers of
his fellow-soldiers were periShing in the swamps of an un-
wholeiome climate,—when he was jammed that the expence
of the war was not less than 1,000,0001. per month, it was high
time that the system of Government should be altered.. lie
feared, if Lord Amherst were allowed to remain at the bead
of the Government; that India would be lost to this country, as
America had already been lost.
The Chairman(Mr..lltAltJOlLlnANKS) had no hesitation in
saying, that he had proposed neither one nor the other of the
noblemen to whom allusion had been made, to proceed as Go-
vernor4feneral to India; neither had they been proposed to
In fact, there was at present nu question bet Ore the Court
of Directors as to the removal of Lord Amherst.
