GERMAN PAPERS.

(Extract from the Cmtrrier dc Sinyrne of Nov. 1.)
FRANKFORT, DEC. 4.—The Conn*: commPnees
to-day the publication of an official document, which
has not yet been published in any European Jour-
nal. It is a memoir on the pacification of Greece,
presented by the Russian Cahinet to the Powers
composing the Holy Alliance in the winter of 1823.
(As this document is extremely long, and not even
yet concluded, we extract only a few passages.)
As there are in the Ottoman Empire separate
Principalities which, if not created, have at
least been voluntarily retained by the Turkish
Sovereigns, and as by taking • due precautions
against the abuses which ruin Moldavia and
Wallachia, it would be possible, with the privi-
leges originally guaranteed to those provinces, to
secure to them all the prosperity and tranquillity
which they can enjoy, the cabinet of his Imperial
Majesty would propose to form in continental
Greece Principalities like those upon the Danube.
" These Principalities might be three in number,
as the geographical position of Greece wool seem
to indicate.
" The first would comprehend Thossilly, eotia,
Attica, and Eastern Greece.
" The second would include that part of t coast
formerly belonging to Venice, which has n been
given up to Austria, of Epirus, Acarnania, or estern
Greece.
"- The third would be composed-of the . area or
Southern Greece, to which the island of Concha
might be annexed.

As for the islands of the Archipelago, they
would be subjected to a municipal government,
which would, in fact, be only the renewal and regu-
lation of the privileges which they have possessed
fur two centuries. These arrangements, the mo-
tiv9s and advantages of which the Russian Cabinet
tvill develope in the sequel, would be accompanied
by some other general stipulations.
" The Porte would retain the sovereignty over all
these countries ; it could not send Pachas or Gover-
nors, but would receive annual tribute,which should be
now fixed according to the resources of each island and
principality. All public ollices should be filled by
natives, and in general the Porte should maintain
with Greece and the Archipelago the same relations
as with Moldavia and Wallachia. The Principalities
and Greek islands should enjoy entiro liberty of com-
merce, and receive from the Porte the right to have
their own flag.
" The Principalities and the Islands would be, as

it were, represented at the Court of the Sultan, by
the Patriarch of Constantinople, who would reside
in that capital, and enjoy the protection of the law
of nations, in the same manner as the agents of the
Princes of Wallachia.

" The Porte would keep a garrison in a certain
number of fortresses, round which a tract of country
should be allotted, whence the Turkish troops
should draw their supplies, but not be allowed to
make incursions into the surrounding country.
" Lastly, the results of this negociation should be
placed under the guarantee of all the Allied Courts,
or of such of them as should be willing to contract
this engagement."

THE LATE GAI.E.—Our shipping intelli-
gence this week, will be found to contain a Zang catalogue
of mishaps by sea, the consequences of the pie of yester-
day week, alluded ,to in our last. It is stated that at least
thirty vessels were on shore between Whitby and Scar-
borough, and about the Parse number between Scarbo-
rough and Flamlmough-head. It is in the highest de-
gree consolatory to learn that however destructive the effects
of the gale may have been in regard to property, they were
attended with but little loss of hums') life, as far as has-

which they drank some beer and liquor, the felloNv stating
that he expected his mistress with a gig. He afterwards '
said they had better walk on, and the gig would overtake
them. After passing the turnpike at Headington, they
turned to the left and crossed some fields; when the rascal
suddenly seined the girl, threw her down, and, notwith-
standing her cries, succeeded in effecting her ruin. The
fellow then left her, and the poor creature returned home At
about eight o'clock in the evening, in the most dreadful
state of agitation, and immediately told her friends what
had happened. The fellow who committed the outrage
appeared to be about 35 years of age, rather tall, has full
eyes, and is lame of one leg ; had on a short smock fruok
and pitthedfuttiu.l troUterstr. Cheitenktrip Ckroiticip

14i9rrib3s Esq. was intimately acquainted
with the subject of the present inquiry, and had ob-
served his conduct particularly from ..luny, 1827,
to April, 1828. Mr. Rothwell laboured under a
rery peculiar delusion ; he fancied that all females
were in love with him. At first he fancied that one
lady only was violently attached to him, but after-
•wards his notions on the subject applied to several
of the sex, and at last to all. Witness frequently
argued with him upon this error, bat it was of no
avail, the delusion increased. He thought also that he
had the power of curing the ladies, and that the
remedy existed in his appearance; that if a woman
laboured under illness of any kind, she would meet
a specific upon looking at him. A very strong de-
lusion exhibited itself in his personal vanity. He
used sometimes to sing, but always in a most extra-
ordinary voice, anti he generally was dejected in
the very lowest degree. Upon entering the parlour
in the morning he always looked excessively distres-
sed. He never could be prevailed upon to go to bed.
In a conversation with witness upon the state of his
health,'he said ke would explain his feelings, which
would horrify witness. He then stated that a highly
respectable man of this city was Satan, the origin of
all dril to him and others, and that that individual
was most active in his operations. He afterwards
wrote upon paper a deacpption of his feelings, ex-
hibiting the most confirmed and extravagant delu-
sions. Witness had not that paper by him. A

bingon, and Mr. Parrot. Dr. Babington questioned
him upon the state of his hecdtb, and he made a fev
observations on the subject of insanity, and said he
vas aware of the great importance it was to him and
his family that such an imputation should not be cast
sport him. He then desired to be allowed to write,
and he wrote--

Here the paper was handed in. It stated in
nervous language, that owing to a series of events,
of an apparently unimportant nature, brit really its
the last degree imports-at, and pregnant with matt'c
be had been involved in, the malignant inguence of
a curtain course of action, and became the innocent
and uaconaciona instrument by which enhsppiness
was entailed upon the females of several illustrious
families in this empire. To break through the
mystery which this language conveyed, he would
inquire whether his Majesty's Ministers were prac-
tised upon by intrignera ; whether any inquiry had
been made into any circumstance in which his
name was mentioned ; for lie knew that in the ad-
ministration of Lord Goderich, Mr. Rothwell had
been used ;—whether he had been &ed as a puppet,
for tlis purpo!..e of accomplishing any tutful or de-
signing scheme. Ii this was bottomed in fact, he
promised to probe it to .the bottom. -
The witness :proceeded—His delusions as-smned
different forms ; he fancied that all the females lie.
saw in the streets looked ill, and used to say that
it appeared to him as if all the inhabitants of the
hospitals were turned out to fall in his way.
Dr. Burroughs stated, that before he visited Mr.
Bothwell he had prepared himself by reading the ef-
fusions of the patient, and bearing the particulars of
the malady. He spoke of the extraordinary adult.
ration with which he was honoured by ladies of high
rank. " There was," he said, " the most marked
attention paid to him as he passed one day through
Carendish-square, by all the women." He also said
that all the ladies at Hampstead held him for hie per-
son in the highest admiration, and that his very looks
benefitted the female world. Ile spoke of electric
shocks, which he sometimes, he said, reeei red, and
a ray of light which occasionally darted down upon
him. There were two keepers in attendance upon
him. He had a singular delusion with respect to
one of those, fancying that the keeper was the
Divine Creator. He said, "You may be clever—
there may be cleverness in law, in physic, in the
received system of morals and religion.; but all there
are nothing in comparison with that personage. He
is the Divine Creator." He fancied that the effect
of the ray which descended upon him was to make
him as black as a coal.
The lunatic was here lad into the room, into
which, however, he refused to altar without the bo-
ciety of the adored keeper.

question to sneer at
me; or whether you really ask
fer the sake of information ?
Mr. Pfituamoßn—For information most certainly,
Nobody here would sneer at yon. Mr. Bothwell—
Then I will be explicit. I have no medicinal know-
ledge, separate from the cursory knowledge which
ordinary persons, from looking into books, treating
of the art, without studying them, attain. But there
are certain cases, and these of an aggravated charac-
ter, which I can cure as if by magic. Inspiration is
my auxiliary, both in finding oat the nature of the
disease, and administering the remedy. It is my
prime specific.
Mr. Piiii.uxOßD--We are exceedingly indebted
to you Mr. Bothwell, for the kindness with which
you have made these communications to us.
Mr. Rothwell—Nove, Sir, as yon have put som
questions to me, allow me to put one or two
you. I have answered you candidly whatever yen
toeti
were pleased to enquire cf me, and though I knowy
not the nature of this commission. I trust I t :at you
will be equally ingenuous. ' You asked
me as if the
inquiry about which you seemed to be engaged were
instituted to arrive at one point 13,
is —namely, whether
this (pointing to the keeper) the Divine Being.
You have heard my specificthe affirmative, and absolute assertion
and perhaps you consider that
my resolute conviction or this . Is of point a test in-
sanity.
Now, I am
conscious of this great truth,
by that inspiration '
which breathed upon those of
ancient days, and
by the interpretation of knowledge
of all sorts, which is withheld from common men, I
pronounce this being to be Divine. Tell me then,
does it become you, who are not dictated to by .the
Same unerring wiadom,lto assume the ;eget; vo ? If
you ground your assumption upon no better fitct.
than the ridiculous appearance which the Divinity
chooses to take upon him in this room, your argu-
tnent falls to the ground, and is nothing worth—
Here the keeper rose and said " Come," and the
unfortunate lunatic instantly rose and followed hits.
The Jury instantly returned a verdict of unsound
mind. 4-
