GERMAN AND DUTCH PAPERS.

• RUSSIAN FRONTIERS, SEPT. 12.—For a long
time no intelligence has excited so much sensation
at St. Petersburg!) as the murder of Czeruey
George, on the Turkish Territory ; and, as it ap-
pears, will the approbation of the Turkish Go-
vernment. It forms the-general subject of con-
versation.; and even those who consider the reci-
procal relations of Russia and the-Torte in a corn-
Tiprehensive manner, are of opinion that this-event
may have serious consequencei ; and look forward
to a rupture between the two:Powers, n the Porte
does not submit to the conditions whitib, it is tin-
' derstood, Russia ha's reeptiredshall lie acceded to.
General Count Benningsen, who 'commands in
-chief the Russian , Army of Observation on the
frontiers of Turkey, has received orders not only
»ot to diminish the strength of this army, which
was to be partly dissolved when the differences with
Turkey seemed to he remoVecl, bind also to raise it
'immediately to 80,000 men effective by uniting se-
'Verdi corps, to provision tine frontier fortresses, and,
in short, to take every necessary measure to be able,
:in case of need, immediately to act on the often-
's-sive against Turkey. How much tine EmperOr. is
-in earnest in -prosecuting this affair with vigour
appears from the circumstance, that in his jour-
»ey t the southern provinces' he intends to inspect
In person the army of Benningsen. Much could
indeed be expected till now; from the influence
of the English Cabinet with the Porte, in favour
- Russia ;. but England is at this moment itself
engaged -in differences with Turkey, on account
of the lonian islands, and particularly the posses-
sion of Parga. The powerful Ali Pacha,'who,
...from his great power, inspires the Porte" with the
greatest respect, nut to say fear, will not permit
:4_,Mgland to have a fortress near his pos4esSions :
lie is united in .the bonds of a strict friendship
'--evith the Grand Vizier. The Sultan takes no de-
cided part in the matter. The Graed Vizier is
an enemy to Russia, particularly on account of
'the public reprimand which he received . from the
-Sultan last Spring, on account of the dilatoriness
which lie had manifested in settling the differ-
ences between 'Russia and the Porte.- He will
~'probably, in titincert with Ali Paella, dbaltin his
power to bring on a rupture with Russia, notwith-
st-anding.tbe pac.fic sentiments of the Sultan. As
Ali Paella organizes his numerous army in the
European Manner, and has placed-it chiefly under
the.command of French officers, and as'the Sultan
himself has likewise considerable corps of troops
organized in the same manner, the Russian
will experience this time a much more ohsti-
»ate.resistauce titan they have done in preceding
wars.

TRAbiI{FORT, OCT._ 5.--ACCOI(I4Ig to the last ac-
counts from "Rome, the negociations relative to
'"Concordats 'between the Holy See and several
"'German-Courts were far advanced, but not
nated. There are four separate negociations—one
with Prussia, the second with the Netherlands,
'the third with Bavaria, and the fourth with Fla-
asover. 'Besides these, overtures have been made
;by the Courts of kVurtemberg, Baden,-&-c.

Bitussees, OCT. 'lo.—The Editor of the Engli-b
Paper called the Philanthropist, has been brought
before a court of justice for calumny, by a' per-
-ton of - the -mime of Houwel, calling:linos-ell a_
merchate;-- he was condemned to-day by the COr•
rectioual Tribunal to one months imprisonment,
1000 florins damages to the party injured, a tine
-of 100 florins :to the public treasury, and to the
'costs.
The 'following is extracted from a I'rucsian
A Swiss Journal appears to fear that
the tranquillity ud;ich just been restored to the
world may be. soon troubled. One Of its rea-
sons for alarm is the intended augmentation of
''the French .artny by 80,000 men, and the placing
600 or 700 half-pay officers in active service.—
Tint the Swiss Journalist has' doubtless forgotten
what was said in the Tribune of the • Honse of
Peers, that France has scarcely 20,000 men to
bring into the geld : thus an increase of 50,000 is
no sulstec-t for alarm. The same Joinnalist is
doubtless ignorant that the number of halt pay
officers is above 30,000 : the placing of G or 700
of them in active service is a saving for the French
Treasury, and certainly it cannot be thence in-
ferred that the Government has thoughts of teas.''
PRUSSIA.—After the long and fruitless likens.:
sions which took place some time ago in the Conn-
Acil of State, it is note said at Berlin that it has been
resolved, in order to save from ruin the manofac-
tures of the country, to lay upon English manu-
factured goods an import duty of 30 per cent

which the Papal Nuncio was present, there was
such a conflux of people to this celebrated place

the
,proposal of the Revisers of the States, of the
Kingdom here assembled, the Governmetiecaused
the bureau of the Ma'ince discount bank to be
shut, and politic notice given, that such remarks
had been brought forward against the Directors,
