DUTCH PAPERS.

ST. PETERSBURGII, SHPT. 25.—M. de Ropi, author of
the plan of making a model of St. Petersburgh on a large
scale, which he has executed in the most successful manner
in two years and a half, has just set out for Paris, where he
intends to exhibit his splendid work. We congratulate
those who have no opportunity of visiting our capital, on
the means they will have of judging how well it is entitled
to be considered as one of the finest cities in the world.
This model is 26 arsheens in breadth, and 52 in length,
besides the Monastery of Alexander Newsky, and the
Establishment of Noble Ladies, and the Tauris Palace,
which are executed separately.

AKERMANN, SEPT. 'F.—we have lately been informed
that the exportation of the salt and wines of Bessarabia
has just been permitted through the customhouse at Oer-
dropol, a piece of intelligence which has caused the live-
liest satisfaction here. The collecting the. produce of the
salt lakes is one of the most imßortant branches of employ.
ment among the inhabitants of Akermann. It enables a
great number of persons to turn small capitals to good ac-
count, it attracts workmen from all parts of the province
—in a word, it is a source of Occupation to all the popu-
lation of this town, which will prosper more and more as
its communication with Odessa becomes more frequent.—
Itt this point of view the passage by way of Oerdropol is
highly important, because it abridges by 34 wersta (nearly
24 miles) the route from Akermann to Odessa, whereas on
other points of the Dniester, the communication has
hitherto been carried on by a route which was above 100
wersta about, which increased the prices of goods, caused

delays, and checked the activity of iximmerce.
T
he beneficent views of Government in this new Ines,-
sure are justly appreciated by all the inhabitants of our
town, and they are the more gratified, because it coin-
cides with the time of the: 'year the most favourable for
working the salt springs. .10s affirmed that the salt this
year is renaliably white 4001 there is reason to believe
that the praduce will bi Dirge.
The Journal of St. Peteilturgh of this date contains a
list of numerons proinotionsi and favours conferred, on oc-
casion of the coronation, but no mention whatever of the
differences with Persia,

EXTRACT OW A LETTER FROM ST. JOHN'S,
NEWFOUNDLAND, 'Nth SEPT., 1826.—" One of
OUT Judges (Mr. M.) ho just absconded, having
drawn hills to an immense amount. The charge
against him is for perjury and swindling. What a
judge for the new system."—Liverpool Courier.
ma MURDER OW MR. THOMAS
discovery WAS made on Tuesday morning, in the
warehouse Occupied by this unfortunate gentleman at
the time of his decease, which may possibly be the
means of leading to the detection of his inhuman mur-
derer. On removing a board which was placed over
a cupboard, and inalosing the space between it and
the ceiling, in the room adjoining that in which his
body WAS discovered, a small pistol was found, to-
gether with some powder, which had been evidently
put there for concealment. The pistol was unloaded
and the hammer down, but, ,judging from the evi-
dence given at the
Inquest, it is not probable that the
deceased received his death from this instrument.—

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 14, 1826.

The French Papers of Wednesday, and the Dale,
dated Thursday, have been received, but their contents
do not possess much interest. It is said in letters
from Attica, that Colonel FABVIER had been obliged
to seek refuge on board the French Admiral's ship,
after sustaining a defeat in an attempt to raise the
blockade of Athens ; but rumours of this description
are so prevalent from that quarter, as to be scarcely
worthy of notice. The Greek fleet, amounting to
seventy sail, was cruising off Carabourni. An Aus-
trian convoy passed through it, but was not molested.
The Capitan Paella is said to have lost a corvette and
some transports, in a recent attack upon Samos, in
which he failed.

The Etoile also contains a commercial document of
some importance to those immediately interested in the
trade to Hayti, being a law for establishing entrepots
or bonded warehouses in the principal ports of that
Republic. The ports which are -thus specified, are
Port-au-Prince, Aux Cayes, Cape Haytien, Santo
Domingo, and Jacmel. The principal articles of this
document will be found in another column.
The Council of State of the Swiss Cantons has
been under the necessity of publishing a decree, at the
instance of Russia, against the liberty of the Press,
placing it under a more strict censorship, in order to
please the taste of that enlightened, but fastidious
judge, the Emperor of Russ' A. It is melancholy to
see such a determined spirit of hostility to liberal prin-
ciples manifested by one who has it in his power to
confer so many blessings on society, by a different
course of action. We have no right to quarrel with
his IMPERIAL MAJESTY for keeping his own sub-
jects in Cimmerian darkness, by restraining the exercise
of liberal sentiments and enlightened ideas, but the case
is altered when he oversteps the bounds of his natural
jurisdiction, to invade the liberty of others who have
nothing in common with him but the lot of mortality.
It speaks little for the wisdom or stability of his reign;
if he dreads the ordeal of public opinion—that best
safeguard of a nation's welfare and happiness. The
poor Swiss have been honoured with his MAJESTY'S
tender -solicitude for their prosperity, much in the
same way as the lamb by the wolf in the fable—,4
hope you are very well in health, in order that may
have the pleasure of eating you."

If an extract of a private letter from Moscow may
be depended on, war is no longer doubtful between
Russia and Persia, and another letter confirms the in-
telligence of a formal declaration of war by Russia, in
consequence of the unprovoked incursions of the
Persians.

German Papers have been received this morning,
but are destitute of any other political news except the
repetition of the report that the siege of Athens had
been raised, and REDSCHID PACHA defeated, with
the loss of his heavy cannon, &c.

ROME, SEPT. 23.
Persons who have the good fortune to be often about
the Pope, cannot find words to express the profound “filic-
tion with which the events of the day, especially those in
Romagna, have filled his heart; it is affirmed that the ob-
stinate wickedness or stupid ignorance with which his
truly paternal intentions are counteracted often affect him
to tears. Can it excite surprise that he, at the head of
the Christina Church, the Spiritual and Temporal Shep-
herd of his people, has judged it necessary, under these
circumstances, to implore the aid of Heaven to avert evils
both near and remote? A Religious Proclamation (hi.
vito Sagrcl) prescribes nine days' prayers to be performed
in three days fasts, the (Friduo). The first in the cha-
pel of the Sanctum Sanctorum ; the second in the for-
ghese chapel in Maria IVlaggiore • and the third in the
chapel of the Archangel Michael, in St. Peter's. in
the first and third Friduo the Litany of All Saints - and
the prayers belonging to it are to be sung ; in the
second the Lauretan Litany, and the Alin-Teri., with
the prayer Deus refugium dsfende, and Deus ()mho;
Fideliunt,` and be concluded, on each day, wish
the Sacrament. Each prayer. begins two hours, and
a half before sunset, and continues about that time. The
last of the nine days (April 28), being the eve of the
Feast of St. Michael, it is to be a general and strict fast-
day, that isi meat and milk diet are prohibited. In the
preamble to the Edict is the following.passqe :
" Lo spirit° di verligine e di revolts ogni gior* fa nuove cor-
giuste pa le genti istesse pia incivilite, e religiose: gli errori,
clue
latitante in qualehe angolo della terra appena, non volta (mov)
or gli uni, or gli altri elandestinamente mordere, it pie&
corrotta Sposa del Agnello immaeolato, al presente •eollegati ilk
sieme, par mostrarsi pin formidabili, eon insolenza, mai pill n'-
ten la minacciano scopertamente, da per tutto della totale wiles&
ed eecidio, se possibils fosse the contro di lai prevalessero le porta

infernal."
The spirit of vertigo and revolt, daily snakes new pro-
gress even among the better informed classes. Errors
which formerly lay concealed in a corner of the earth, and
scarcely ventured from their hiding place, clandestinely to
bite the foot of the pure bride of the immaculate lamb,
now combined together with daring and unheard of inso-
lence, threatens her with total destruction, if it were
possible that the gates of hell could prevail against her.—
This passage is the more important because we must at
all events, ask whence then is the church (for tins is to be
understood by the bride of the lamb) threatened with de-
struction ? It insist surely be from within her own bosom,
for no danger threatens her from Protestanism, which
manifests on its side the same fears, and still less from
other religious parties.

TRIESTE, SEPT. 30.
We have received by the packet, letters from Corfu, to
the 16th instant. The report still keeps its ground that
Redschid Pacha, has been totally defeated before Atens;
his heavy cannon taken, and the siege raised. A hens;

injured party resumes his natural rights. It is idle to tell
us that the credit of the country cannot be maintained
unless certain privileges be allowed to certain interests.
We might as well be told that the life of a patient
could not be maintained unless the sound limb were
'amputated, to give a sort of respite to the other, which
was mortified. So ridiculous is it to listen to the argu-
ments of parties where self-interest is concerned. But
nothing can be more injurious to the national prosperity,
than the system of pleasing one party, at the expence
of another, and the only wonder is, how men, pre-
tending to common sense, and a particle of ho-
nesty, could make the demand,—far less to stand
lip unblushing advocates of a system for their
benefit to the ruin of other, and perhaps more
meritorious, portions of the community. The libe-
ral principle, of free trade, if good for one branch
of our trade or commerce, ought to be good for
all—at least its application ought to be universal, in
order to place all upon an equal footing. Partiality
implies injustice, and honourable minds ought to be as
far above the meanness of overreaching their neigh-
bours, as they are resolute in asserting their own
rights. For our own parts, we wish all branches Qf in-
dustry and trade equally prosperous, being fully per...
suaded that the welfare of the country is best consulted,
not by the overgrown preponderance of one party,
but by the harmonious equality and well-being of all,
in the race of national prosperity.

It will be seen by referring to our City news, that
His Majesty's frigate Hussar, has arrived at Ports-
mouth, after a very rapid passage, from Vera Cruz,
bringing a large quantity of 'dollars, both on ac-
count of the Mexican Government, and British
merchants. This circumstance has had the effect of
raising Mexican Bonds. We wish that the Colom-
bian Bonds were blessed with such good tidings, but
these remain at present with M. HURTADO in the
the land of promise.
