DUTCH MAIL.

DIVORCE OF THE oII.AND DUKE CONSTANTINE.

A Mail front Holland arrived at a late hour last
night. It contains a Manifesto by the Emperor
of Russia, proclaiming the Divorce of his brother,
the Archduke Constantine. This important Do-
cument is as tollows

" 13y the Grace of God, we,, At.exANDErt the First, Empe-
ror and Autocrat of all the Russias, &c. hereby signify to
our faithful subjects :
" Our much-beloved brother, Czarwitsch and Grand Duke
Constantine, has, by a request addressed to our beloved Mo-
ther, the Empress Maria, and to us, drawn our attention to
his family affairs. with respect to the long absence of his con-
' sort the Grand Duchess Anne (born Princess of Saxe-Co•
Bourg Saalfeld), who making a journey into foreign coun-
tries so far back as the year MI, on account of her
extreme bad health, has nut only not yet returned to
hint, but, according to her own personal declat'ation, can-
not again return to Russia; and therefore he wishes that

his marriage with her may be dissolved. In consequence of
this request, with the approbation of our beloved Mo-
ther, we have referred this a:Tair to the consideration
of the holy S) nod, which, on comparing the circum-
stances of the case with the laws of the Church, mid on the
principles of the 35th article of Basil the Great has decided
' the marriage. of.the Czarwitsch and Grand Unite Conslati-
tine with the Grand Duchess Anne is, to be dissolved ; and

he is to be allowed, if he Unities proper, to contract a new
marriage.' From all these cirettm.,tances, we have. seen that
every effort to maintain unimpaired the Matrimonial Union
in our Imperial Family, after it has been already broken off
nearly nineteen years without any hopes of being restored,
would be of no avail. We have given our approbation, ac-
cording to the principles of the Laws of the Church, to the
actual execution of the above-mentioned decision of the Holy
Synod, and command it to be everywhere recognized in its
full extent," &c. &c. &c.
The Manifesto concludes with the followiug
Supplementary Ordinance :-
46 When any Member of the Imperial Family shall form a
matrimonial union with an individual wbo is nut of a corre-
sponding rank, that is to say, who does not belong to a So-
vereign or reigning House, then and in that case the Member
of the Imperial Family camiut communicate to :he other in-
dividual the lights which appertain to the Nlembers of the
Imperial Family, and the Children from such a Marriage have
no right to the Succession to the Throne, &c.Scc &c.
" Given in our Capital City of St. Petersburgh, 40th March,

The Emperor ALEXANDER has been slightly in-
disposed, but is cove fully recovered.

A i.l i 1 from Flanders bas also arrived. The
Brussels Papers announce, most strangely, the
arrival of the Duchess of KRNT in that city. Our
Readers know that her Royal Higimvss cohtiottes

houses at Bolin is contradicted.

This paragraph having attracted the notice of many West-

request you will insert the following contradiction in your
next publication :

First—l deny, that Mr. Alderson and Mr. Crackenthorpe
ever waited upon me at all.

Secondly--I deny, that I ever made the acknowledgment
that the force of the Lowther wag exhausted ; I knew- the

contrary to be the fact.

more. When he saw, as the general result of these, ad

[British Press.]

We can assert with perfect confidence, that
the persons in this country most intimately con-
nected in correspondence with the Qteen, have
received no intelligence from her for these
last three weeics. They only know that her Ma-
jesty has left Rome, but to what precise point
she has advanced on her return to England they
are ignorant. Lyons was the route which she
was to take through France, but it was expected
that she would fix some place nearer to this
-country for a conference with her friends, for the
put pose of arranging her ulterior progress and
proceedings. The packet which srrived on Sun-
day from Calais may possibly have brought a
courier, or some communication from her Ma.

THE LATE WESTMORLAND ELECTION

[From the Carlisle Patriot.]

We request the Reader's attention to the fol-
lowing Letter from the Right Honourable JOHN
BecKETr, M.P. Judge Advocate, on- the subject
of some important misrepresentation which fell
from Mr. BROUGHAM, in his late speech at the
City of London Tavern, concerning the close of
the Westmoreland Election. Mr. BECKETT'S
denial is so complete and unequivocal, that not
the sm.illest hole is left to creep out at. It is
really lamentable to observe how far party men
will suffer themselves to be led away for the at-
tainment of political objects

In reference to the much discussed Riot et Ca-
rain, in Ross-shire, we are authorised to state,
that the Proprietor did not, as has been said, give
any promise to the deluded people of tilt it being
" allowed to remain as long as they paid their
rent," nor pledge himself in any manlier which
could be construed into such a promise ; on the
contrary, that he had declared his intention of
converting the property into a large farm ; and,
under this circumstance, did what certainly has
not been done by Many other proprietors, viz.
offered to be at the expeoce of conveying 3,1C11
small tenantry as had been any considerable length
of time on the property to the Cape of Good Hopc.
To some, who could not avail themselves of this
, offer, he proposed givingrstuall flours elsewhete,
and settling others near his own residence, Tor the
purpose of giving them daily labour. We under-
stand also, that in reference to the King's inten-
tion of improving Dartmoor Forest, he had maw!
1 communications and a personal interview with
Sir Thoutas Tyrwbitt, who expressed himself
anxious to have Highlanders, and offered very
fa-
vourable (elms ; and that Mr. Mooro, appre-
hensive that the proposal for removal would not
be so favourably received from himself or his
factor, employed a highly respectable and popular
clergyman to coinn►unicate with :be people on the
subject, so that it appears the indifference to the
future provision and welfare of the people, which
has been ascribed to this gentleman, is far from
well founded. We are happy in being able to do
justice to a character which, as far as it has been
yet unfolded, g►ves promise that on this and every
other occasion; lie will act with feeliog and liber-
ality.— (Inverness Journal:l)

[Morning Ckronicle.]-

Taß QUREN.—We learn, from good authority,
that letters were on Sunday received from the
Queen, by express, stating, that her Majesty was
proceeding on her journey to this country with
all possible rapidity, and appointing her Friends
to meet her at Calais.

[Morning Post.]
Contradictory rumours respecting the intentions
of the Queen continue to be daily circulated.—
Her Majesty, we believe, has certainly left Italy ;
but we still hope and trust that she has not been
so regardless of the advice of her best friends es
to persevere in her original intention of returning
:r) England. We think it probable that Brussels
will be her future place of residence. •

on the articles of the projet respecting the
Customs was continued through Thursday and

The ILron MoLtGAN de BBLLOY reported from
the Committee in favour of the proposed duty on
Foreign \Vool imported, according to its fineness ;
and also recommending a bounty on the exporta-
tiou of French Wool. These propositions were
agreed to. The report on the Election Projet
was, after an ineffectual attempt on the part of
General Foy to have it postponed till after the
discussion on the Budget, ordered to be received
ea Saturday.

These Journals contradict the statement of the
arrival of the Queen of ENGLAND at Paris, and
say, that it was doubtful whether her MAJESTY
would come thither at all.

Wool, to which they attributed the present stagnation of
trade in the Northern parts of England.—Ordered to lie on

Lord MILTON said, he should be glad to know from any
'one on the other side of the House, competent to answer his
question, whether it was in the contemplation of Govern-
ment to repeal the duty on Wool which was imposed last year.
If such were thr intentions of Government, he would leave
the...matter in their hands; if not, he'would then give notice
that to-morrow se'nnight he should move fur the repeat of
the dot,/ on Foreign ‘Vool.
The Hon. F. ROBINSON said, he was not aware that there
was any such intention on the part of Ministers as that ex-

not suppose that theiord Chancellor, after having

We yesterday observed, with pleasure, that
the spirit of loyalty was obviously rising over the
clouds of Faction, and that Addresses of respect,
allegiance, and attachment to His MAJESTY were
coming forward, and might be expected from va-
rious quarters. The Opposition Writers think
proper to represent these testimonies of genuine
loyalty, arising from the alarm naturally excited
by the daring language and open assaults of
Sedition, as the effects of Ministerial artifice.—
Nothing can be more absurd than such an
assertion. Ministers have too much upon their
hands to admit of their engaging in such ma-
nucevres, and it may fairly be questioned, whe-
ther, if they were to make any such attempts,
they have influence sufficient to render them
effectual. That Ministers mean well, We believe,
and that there can be no general wish for their-
removal is evident upon two grounds, first, be-
cause, by adhering to the manly, judicious, and
decisive policy of Mr. PITT, they rescued Europe
• from oppression, and preserved their Country from
danger. Such signal services must have made a
strong impression upon the gratitude and good
sense of the People, whatever may.have been the
errors of their domestic adininistration. But ano-
ther strong ground of support which Ministers
possess is the difficulty of finding any successors
in whom the People can place any confidence.—
In fact, the People would foresee nothing but the,
ruin of the Constitution, if the conspicuous cha-
racters among the faction who "oppose Govern-
ment 'at present could poOibly be admitted
into Office and Power. What might be ex-
pected if Sir ROBERT WiLsomi who violated the
laws of France by assisting in the deliverance of
a Traitor, were to be Secretary at War, if Sir
GERARD NOEL were at the Head of the Home
Department, Mr. CAM, HOBIIOLSE Chancellor of
the Exchequer, and the other High Offices of the
State were distributed • among the WOODS,
WOOLE'RS, COBBETTS, PETER MOORFS, &C. SCC.
&c., and such would assuredly be the case, if
the Leaders of the Party could get into place
and power. Adieu then to our Establishment in
Church and State ; then

" Down Royal State!. all you sage Counseliurs hence.--•
" Now, neighbour coufines, purge you of your scum."

A strong hold, then, of the present Ministers is the
character of those whoare labouring by all possible

OUTRAGES AT OXFORD.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM OXVORD, NOV. 30.
". The system which has. much prevailed in
various parts of the Country, of attacking,
in the most outrageous and indecent manner,
every one who may be loyally attached to
his KING, has, I think, exceeded all bounds,
and loudly calls upon the Magistracy of the
County to interfere. That'there is a spirit of
opposition to all and every thing_ that may be
established in their true order of things, is too
manifest. We may trace the party who have en-
gendered the evil.; and their envy,..hatred, and
malice, are conspicuous hi all their actions.
That spirit, I am sorry to say, has of late prevail-
ed at Oxford, by insulting the Members of the
University, and literally attacking them, with
brick-bats and missiles of every description. It is
therefore necessary for some interference, either
Magistrates to suppress, or the University to take
some measures to defend their own body from
such a disgraceful repetition. Hitherto there have
been but partial affrays, .and no very serious
.accident has occurred. Our Proctors, however,
get daily insulted ; and in the evening it is re-
peated in the most daring manner. On Wed-
nesday evening the mob assembled opposite
Trinity College, and most shamefully assaulted
the Members with stones. Which very much
injnred many of them, and afterwards broke
several of the windows of Brazenimse College.
If now our Dignitaries are, to be assaulted,
our Heads of Houses treated with contempt, the
windows of the Colleges broken; and the Mem-
bers insulted by a lawless mob, supported, as
they are, by the University, whose- charity they
are always ready to ask, and are daily asking,and
without whose aid they would go barefoot, and
without clOtheS-Lthe time, I think, is come, w.hen
the liberty of the mob shotrld not be allowed to
interfere with the liberty of the more peaceable
inhabitants; and the Mag.!strates should awaken,
and check, if not entirely suppress, what must be
considered a disgrace to the loyal City of Ox;
ford.—(Morning Post.)

A letter from Fishguard, in Pembrokeshire,
gives the following account of that district
" Our harvest is most promising in all kinds of
grain—more so than has been remembered by
the oldest man living. A .great deal has been
got in in prime condition. Hay not bulky, but
got in well. Several strikes of barley were

the grain uncommonly fine."

SIR HOME RIGGS POPIIAM.

Sir lIOME POPHAM, whose death we announced '•
yesterday, had but recently .returned from hs
command on the Jamaica station, where he lost '
hiS daughter and his health. , Few men had seen
more service, or have displayed more talent. He
rose- entirely by his oWn merits. This gallant'
Ofifcer was born in Ireland about the year 1769-
His father had a numerous family, and his means
being slender, the boys were obliged to seek their
fortune in different quarters of the globe: SirE.,
who-was,a younger son,entered the British Navy
as a Midshipman. During the American- war he .
attained:the rank of Lieutenant. On the return ..
of peace he visited his eldest brother, Major,
now General Popham, in India, and- havin4
evinced a genius for nautical topography, he was
appointed, at the special recommendation of ,
Lord Cornwallis, one of a Committee sent
in the , year ,1788 H to survey New Harbour,
in the river Ifoogly. , lie also appea'rs in .
to have commanded a. country ship. Ile 'was
afterwards appointed to .the command of the
Etrusco, an Imperial' East Indiaman, Which was
seized, on. her return from. Bengal to 0:-.:tend, by
an English. frigate as a prize, on the ground that
a considerable portion of the property on board
belonged to British subjects.----The FrcriCh Re-
volution soon afforded an Opportunity of ;wain
restoring., him to his 'prOfession and opening a
new road to tune mid fortune. The torn:nual-
cation between the Duke of York and Nirnegneu,
When that place was I.ieg.ed 'by 13;chegtu, in
1791, having been cut off, Lieu t. Popham proceed-
ed thither from Ostend, and repaired the datnage,
and thus protracted the fate of the town. For
thiS service he was rewarded in 1705 with the
rank first of Master and Cominandei., and then of
a Post. Captain in the British Navy. In that
year he acted as naval agent for the British tram-
ports on, the Continent, 'and under hiS inspec-
tion -the British troops which had 'been serv-
ing in Holland, were embarked and escorted
to England by the Daedalus and Amphior. fii-
gates: In 1758, an armament was prepared
in Margate Beads, whi,sh sailed under his
command' on the 14th of May,. and' appeared
off Ostend on the 19th. _ The . troops, unnei-

SURREY YEOMANRY.

Yesterday, pursuant to public Requisition, n 2
Meeting was held at the Spread Eagle Inn, Ep-
som, for the purpose of taking. into consideration,
the present state of the Surrey Yeomanry Cavalry,
and of adopting the best means of rendering that
Corps perfectly efficient. Soon after one o'clock
the HIGH SHERIFF took the Chair. He Mime-.
diately proceeded to state to the Gentlemen pre-
sent the business for which they were -assembled,
It would, he observed, be only necessary for hint
to have the Requisition read—after which, he had
no doubt, some. Gentleman would come:forward
and state his 'sentiments on the snbject to which
it adverted. The Requisition ;vaS then read. It
appeared to emanate from the proceedingsof.a
Court of Lieutenancy, which had been held on
the 9th of August last, at which the situation of
the Surrey Corps of Yeomanry had been taken
into consideration. The 'Resolution agreed to at
the Meeting, of th'e' Lieutenancy, after passing. a
high eulogium on the Corps for its various ser-
-vices, proceeded to set forth, 44 that it was expe-
dient that it should be maintained, at least to the
extent of its present 'establishment ; that there
had been, for some time paSt, a deficiency of pri-
vates in the regiment; and that -a debt had ac-
crued, -onsiderably beyond what the payment
received from,Government amounted to." The
Resolution concluded with recommending :tha.
means should be devised for liquidating this
debt, and for restoring:the Corps to a certain tie-
trree_ of, effitieticy, without- calling on thee Mem-
bers to submit to any further. burden--a circum-
stance against which their previous personal ser-
vices owcrlit to: protect 'them : thprefoi'e it was
deemed necessary! that .the whole subject should
be ',id before a General Mcoing of the County.
Lord M ipnt.tiioN (t he Loot- Lient et:ant of the Coon ,;4,1;
it would dte.expectetl of hint that hr- should state to the
meeting what the cir uriot. ices were in which the whole'of
'this business had origioated. The meeting was, he regretted to
say, in point of ntnnherts; very difierent from•what he expected.

- SEVERE COLD IN THE SOUTH OF EUROPE.,--By
letters trom Lisbon of the 12th inst., it appears
that a severe and unusual degree of ttetst
had been experienced in Portugal, which had
greatly injured vegetation, and itt particular the
orange and lentnn trees. The severity of the
season was considered equal to than which oc-
curred in the memorable season of 1787, and it was
feared would be attended with equally disastrous
consequences. Similar accounts have been received
from Genoa, where, from the 9th to the 15th,
strong northerly winds, . attended with hard
frost, had prevailed. The thermometer during
that period, was front three to five degrees below
the freezing point. Most planti, but p,rtieularly
the lemon and orange trees along the eastern
and western coast, had suffered considerably.—
Such an intensity of cold had not been remem-
bered there by the oldest inhabitant.
The house of Townsend, the police officer,
in Ecaeston-street, Pimlico, was attempted
to be broken into on Saturday night or Sun-day
morning last but in this the depredators were
disappointed, owing to the security of the shut-
ters. The thieves, however, succeeded in getting
into the residences of the Misses FOZARD, the
adjoining hone, and plundered it of sonic
valuable propel ty, awl escaped, without alat Ming
cithur of the families.
