tar sister, the .Princess Maria of ilivaria, will pay her a

visit there.
A new frigate called the Medea has been launched at
Venice, and will shortly sail for the Levant.

EFRT.IN, AUG. 24.

His Majesty the King will be here again on the Rsth.
The plan of an East India Company, of 31. Magnus Klein,
is sufficiently interesting to excite the attention, atal to
engage the good wishes of the mercantile world. The
advantages that must arise from being able to carry on
trade with India, in as direct a manner as possible, is so
self.evident, that we cannot but wish the projector success,
and a great number of subscribers to the proposed company.

FRANKFORT, AUG. SI.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge set out yes..
terday to return to Hanover. The Duchess will stay three
weeks longer at Rumpenheim, and then return with the
Princess Louisa of Hesse, her sister. Prince Metternich
arrived on the 24th at Dresden, and dined the next day at
Pilnitz, with the Royal family. The Prince went on the
30th to the seat of Prince Frederick of Saxony, and set
out again for Bohemia in the evening.
We learn from Kehl, by a letter of the 26th, that the
Prefect of Strasburg, has revoked the order, prohibiting
the admission of the Augsburg Gazette (Allgenisine
Zeitung) into France.—(For some days past we observe
that that Journal does not give its private correspondence
from Paris.)

STOCKHOLM, AUC. 21.

The official Gazette contains an address from the Nor-
wegian Storthing to the King, expressing a wish that his
Majesty would be pleased to permit the Minister of State,
and other Constitutional Counsellors of Norway, to be con-
sulted in negociations and diplomatic affairs, and in the
drawing up of the acts relative to them, when they concern
the dignity of Norway as an independent kingdom. His
Majesty has replied, that his paternal solicitude for the pro-
sperity of the Kingdom will always lead him, according to
circumstances, to ask the opinion of the Council of
State of Sweden and Norway, relative to the po-
litical connections with other powers, and that on
such occasions, having constantly in view the interest
of the two United Kingdoms, he will keep in mind
the comparative inequality of the riches of the two States,
in case Norway should have to contribute to the expences
which would he rendered necessary by a war.

BRUSSELS, SEPT. 2.

We learn from Frankfort that the Messrs: Rothschild
will all meet there in the course of this month : then the
two brothers, settled at Frankfort and Vienna, will retire
from business: the son of the latter will take the house at
Frankfort ; that at Vienna will cease.
According to accounts from Bavaria, the digging of a
canal to form a communication between the Danube and
the Rhine will commence next year, and it is affirmed that
the Bavarian army will be employed in the work in the
same manner as the Roman legions were employed in time
of peace.
SEPT. S.—An Austrian Cabinet messenger has passed
through here, on his way from London to Vienna, with
despatches.
SEPT. 4.—The Hague journal, under the head of Am-
sterdam, Sept. 1, says—" According to authentic accounts
from Tripoli of the end of June, the Dey had, on the 22d
of that month, despatched a ship of war of twenty guns,
with a numerous crew, and with provisions for four months,
to cruise beyond the Straits of Gibraltar, and to capture,
as it was supposed, off Lisbon, ships under the flag of
Prussia and of the Hanseatic cities.

The magistrates of Groningen, authorised by a Royal
Decree of the 3d of August, have opened a loan for 150,000
florins, to cover, as far as possible, the extraordinary ex-
pences caused by the sicknees that prevailed there in the
last half of 1826.

A private letter received in the City this
morning from Madrid, dated August 24, says—
" It is certain that the troops sent to Catalonia
by the Government, have already arrived there,
and have given battle to the Insurgents between
Balagues and Ceruera, in which the Insurgents
were defeated."

The accounts received this morning from
Calcutta are, in a mercantile point of view, very
distressing. Money was extremely scarce, and
several failures had taken place, one of which was
considerable, not only for its amount, but the
house was of long standing. Two or three
Native houses had also stopped payment. The
consequence was, that confidence was at a low
ebb, and great difficulty was experienced in pass-
ing bills on England.
The Calcutta Price Curre►,t of the sth April, makes
the following observations :
COTTON.---A few small parcels of this article have
changed hands : 'quotations well supported. Stock low.
Iwritoo.—The market keeps steady with rather an in-
crease in demand, and clearing fast. Accounts from
Jeasore yesterday, hold out a favourable prospect for the
ensuing crop. A considerable fall of rain in that quarter,
during the week has enabled the planters to go on with
their sowings.
SALTPETRE AND Sues R. continue in fair request.
PIECE Goons.—The demand since our last has been
rather languid, and sales limited.
Sit.x.—Dull ; prices almost nominal.
SPICES.—CIoves heavy, and on the decline ; Cassia in
limited demand; Pepper steady, but demand limited;
Cardamums rather lower.
METALS.—Spelter ; sales in this to a considerable ex-
tent were effected during the past week, but prices rate
lower. Block Tin and Iron steady, and in fair request ;
Copper and Lead rather dull, and a shade lower.
Freights to London still rate at 4/, to Si. per ton.

The depressed state of the Money Market has completely

in effecting sales to any extent.

It is positively stated that the Emperor Don
Pedro has addressed a letter, in his own band-writing, to
his Majesty, announcing that be has appointed Don Miguel
Regent of the Kingdom of Portugal. What the effects of
this measure may eventually be, it is impossible to calculate,
until the messenger which carried the appointment to Vienna
returns. It seem, to be the opinion of persons well informed,
that the result is likely to be fatal to the Constitutional
Charter, and may lead. to events of the greatest importance
to the peace of Europe.
PARIS, SEPT. 3.
The Leander, Falk, ar-
rived at Cadiz the 12th ult., from London, was boarded
two days before, off Cape St. Vincent, by an Algerine gal-
liot of .19 guns.
Dr. Radcliffe once refused to take a fee for at-
tending a friend during a dangerous illness. Upon his re-
covery, however, the patient presented the aggregate
amount in a purse, saying, " Sir, in this purse I have put
every day's fee ; nor must your goodness get the better of
my gratitude." The doctor eyed the purse, counted the
number of days in a minute, and holding out his hand,
replied, "Well, I can hold out no longer—single, I could
have refused them for a twelvemonth, but altogether they
are irresistible."
Many medical duels have been prevented by
the difficulty of arranging the " inJhodus pugnandi."
lu the instance of Dr. Brocklesbv, the number of paces
could not be agreed upon ; and in the affair between Aken-
side and Ballow, one had determined never to fight in the
morning, and the other that he would never fight in the
afternoon. John Wilkes, who did not stand upon ceremony
in these little affairs, when asked by Lord Talbot, " Dow
many times they were to fire?" replied, " Just as often as

Dr. Robertson, Surgeon-General to the Naval
Hospital, Barbadoes, related (of one Mr. Weekes) that this
gentlemanwas a great votary of Bacchus, who, after rising
from his bottle, used to plunge into a trough of cold water,
with his head supported on a wooden pillow, where he
Would sleep for several hours, and be greatly refreshed in

quarters, they used to let the water off by a plug, and he
