DUTCH AND GERMAN PAPERS.

I ROM THE FRENCH FRONTtERS, SEPT. 25.

'I write from Lisle, that notwithstanding
tL levy of 40,000 men, a great many young men
vol,intarilv enlist, as well in the Royal Guard as
in the Departmental Legions, which is considered
as a proof of the good spirit of the inhabitants of
the Northern Departments, as it cannot be ascrib-
ed to tvant of employment, because the manufac-
twit-s are for the most part in a flourishing
condition.

Extract of a Letter from Irun, dated Sept. 12.
" The Government has received official and
ve v detailed reports respecting the destruction
the army of General Osorio, the loss of his ar-
tiliety, and the dispersion of the few troops who
,scsped the sword of the Insurgents, and were
not ,aken prisoners ; but nothing has yet been
made public about these misfortunes, though they
are no longer a secret to any body. Private let-
ters from various parts of our Colonies have
brought very alarming accounts in this respect,
which are perhaps exaggerated, on account of
the silence of the Madrid Gazette. Thus it is re-
lated, that General St. Martin pursues his career
of victoty 5 that the Insurgents are masters of the
mines of Potosi ; that Lima, the capital of Peru,
is th!"Catened by them ; and that there is no force
. :able to resist them. Another thing which causes
_great shunt is, that the convoy from the. Havan-
nah, which has been expected at Cadiz for this
month past, is not yet arrived. This convoy
hrings three and a half millions of piastres. The
delay begins to make its very uneasy. While we
arc is this anxious suspense, the preparations for
the great expedition are carried on with extraor-
dinary activity ; troops of all arms are on the
march to Andalusia ; seamen are drawn from ail
the ports, and the ships provided with every thing
necessary. Three frigates, of 44 guns, are ex-
pected every moment at Cadiz, to make a part of
the expedition ; so that the fleet will consist of
fouls ships of the line, six frigates, several cor-
vuttes, and 30 large transports. It is hoped that
this great expedition will be ready to sail for
South America in the course of October. The
preparations making by the officers, in conse.-
quence of their instructions, have given rise to
vhis expectation."
FRANKFORT, SEPT. 2.3.—We learn from Meek-
leubur, that the Ordinance of March 4, 1813,
respecting the prohibition of the importation of
various foreign articles, is abolished, because ex-
perience has shewn that the Ordinance in ques-
tion has wholly missed its object. An exception
is made with regard to succory (prepared as a sub-
stitioe for toffee) ; the importation of which re-
mains prohibited till further orders, and also that
of hneign playing cards.
Baussass, SEPT. 27.—There are reasons for
believing- that at the Congress at Aix-la-Chapelle
there will be =de a Supplement to the Acts of
Cos.gi,-ss of Vienna, in which, to avoid all cause
of war, even remote, the various relations be-
tween the nations will be regulated ; those of
oasigation, commerce, passage, constitutions,
public instruction, the liberty of the press, the
duties of cus[oms on manufactured goods, the re-
gulation of the posts, and lastly, the military
estalilisliments, which, it is said, will be very con-
bidet able reduced,
It appears that it is intended to leave as little as
possible to be dime at the _Diet at Frankfort. This
explains the arrival at Aix-la-Chapelle of so many
publicists, merchants, manufacturers, men of let-
tto s and science, who, it is affirmed, are to be con-
:.tilted on tbe subjects in which they are respec•
tively.versed.
The Duke and Duchess of Kent are going to
Aix-la-Chapelle. It is said that their house at
Brussels will be occupied by the two Empresses
Of Russia, in their expected visits.
HEIDELBERG, SEPP. 19.—About sixty emi-
gratits from Gottingen had arrived at this Univer-
sity. The Professors, however, considering that
what has happened to one University may happen
to another, and that one should not derive advan-
tage from the misfortunes of others, have resolved
that wily such of the new corners shall be receiv-
ed among the Members of the Academy as can
bring testimonies of their good conduct ; and
silso that they had no share in the disturbances at
Gottingen. Of course but few of them were able
to do this, and the greater part of the former stu-
dents of Gottingen have left this place. They re-
e6ved permission to stay here as visitors merely,
tor six weeks. William Augustus Schlegel has
lately married the daughter of Professor Paulus of
tiii§ city, and has accepted a Professor's Chair in
the ,pew University of Bonn. He had the choice
offered him between Bonn and Berlin. Here, as
in the whole palatinate of the Rhine, there is
a great deal said of approaching political changes.
FROM THE SPREE, SEPT. 13.—That Prussia is
a military State, and from its whole position,
must remain so, may be affirmed on good grounds;
hat people are still divided in opinion respecting
the spirit and destination of the military, The
continon idea is, that military and constitution arc
contradictory to each other, and that a military
State must be the very reverse of a constitutional
one. All history shews how erroneous this idea
es if Holland and England, as if Hungary and
Sweden, nay, even ancient Rome, with more re-
strictive form of Government than our modern
Constitutions, had not been military States, and
were not partly so at this moment.
A State too, in which the military is a prin-
cipal part, is not the more powerful and ener-
getic in war ; nor the development of its
strength more rapid, merely because the su-
preme will is not bound by constitutional
;,'ruts. Wellington, in the Netherlands, with
his constitutional Englishmen, was just as
boon ready as Blucher, with his yet uncon-
stitutional Prussians ; and Buonaparte, the Ge-
Iteral-in-Chiet of the Republican French, con-
tittered as rapidly and as completely as Napo-
leon the unlimited Emperor. On the other band,
military Prussia, with all its exercised troops,
fortresses, &c. &c. made but a poor figure at Jena
in 1806, for which, certainly, no Constitution can
ire. blamed, any more than for the decline of
'flukey, which is also a military State. It is,
tlisrsiore, a pretty piece of wit, but, as a truth,
't.-“,thing worth, it the late Field-Marshal Kat-

kreuth said, shortly before his death, that lie
wished the Prussian State a Constitution such as
his had been. Our military think and feel very
differently, and are of opinion that it is much to
their praise. A sense for legal freedom is the
true soul of the military profession, and the
spirit of conscious strength, such as:is cherished
principally in the militaty profession, is the
true soul of constitutional forms. WVl►y should
not military persons promote popular repre-
sentation,- and become themselves represen-
tatives ? Why not approve the arming of the
people jointly with the standing army, or even
prefer the former ? Our King must certainly not
consider the military as so unpopular end unsocial,
for it was, doubtless, his intention not to make
those• Generals and Officers unhappy whom he
placed in the Landwehr, He has also taken such
men as Gueisenao and Grottman front the army
into the Council of State, and it they can there
speak freely and justly in 101 l assembly, ou the
general concerns of the State, they would cer-
tainly do the same in a Chamber of Deputies, if
the choice of the people should place them there,
as the choice of the King has done here. That
the military spirit in Prussia uni:es with the con-
stitutional, and that the latter supports the for-
mer, this very circumstance shews the vivifying
energy that pervades the political body ; and we
cannot allow either that it is not so, or that so it
is not good.
RaTisnobt, SEPT. 20.—His Majesty the King
of Bavaria arrived here ye.sterday morning, at 11
o'clock, to receive the Emperor of Austria, who
arrived at four in the afternoon with a suite of
forty-five persons. The King immediately waited
upon him, and remained to dine with him.. After
dinner the Emperor returned the Bang's visit.
The two Monarchs attended mass together this
!twilling at six o'clock, and having taken the most
affectionate leave of each other on leaving the
Cathedral, the Emperor departed for Nuremberg,
and the King to return to Munich.
FRANKFORT, SEPT 24.----.-Their Majesties the
King and Queen of Wirtemhtirg have arrived here
this evening, and have alighted at the Hotel of
Baron Von Wangenheim, their Minister at the
Diet.
The reigning Duke and time Hereditary Prince
of Oldenburg, and his Royal Highness Prince
Charles of Bavaria, are also here. The Emperor
of Russia sleeps to-night at Folds, dines to-mor-
row at ‘Vilhelmsbad, and will be here in the af-
ternoon.

The Elector of Hesse and the Electoral Prince
went to Dettiogen to meet the Emperor of Austria,
who had been escorted by a detachment of the
Hussars of the Guard from the frontiers of the
Electorate. His Imperial Majesty got into the
Elector's carriage, and on arriving at Williehns-
had was welcomed by the Electoral Prince and
Princess, their daughter, and the Landgrave
Charles. The Emperor dined with the Electoral
family, and proceeded to Mayence,
Travellers who have just traversed the Grand
Duchy of Baden report, that all soldiers absent
on furlough are called in, and that the troops are
in motion throughout the ,vlioL of the Grand
Duchy.

ST. DOMINGO.

EXTRACT FROM A rRIVATE LETTER.

" We had scarcely cast anchor when the visit-
ing boat came towards us, having on board seve-
ral officers of the Haytian army. Their dress
consisted of a large bluo sureoat, turned up with
red ; large pantaloons, with short boots ; a cock-
ed hat, with a red feather, two feet in length ;
and an enormous sabre at their girdles. The whole
gave these black figures an air truly terrific.
" After inquiring the news from Europe, they
conducted us to the Governor, the Duke de Mar-
malade. He is an African, about sixty years of
age, who has rendered himself equally popular with
natives and foreigners, lie confined himself to
asking our names and the motives of our voyage,
for the purpose of making a communication of
them to the King. He then desired us to repair
to the 13 iron Duptiy, a Mulatto, about 50 years of
age, private Secretary to the King. We were
then presented to Prince John, the son of the
Monarch, who has a good appearance without in-
dicating any thing remarkable. At all times I
feel pleased in his society, and I must praise him
for his politeness.
" The Cape presents a picture of desolation.—
This town, which at one time contained seventy
thousand inhabitants, was regularly built in tire
centre of a plain. All the streets were built at
right angles, and the houses were of the most ele-
gant construction. Now the grass covers the
streets, and the plundered houses offer nothing
but their empty walls. Add to this contrast, a sky
constantly serene, vegetation the most vigorous
and animated, and the sun most brilliant, I may,
however, except from this picture some houses oc-
cupied by English and American merchants, as
also the small number inhabited by the Ilaytian
nobility.
" I have not D' seen ChristopLe; but he is so
seldom at the Cw,,e, that I might reside here three
months without finding a single opportunity. He
is formed, it is said, like a Hercules, possesses a
desperate bravery, and is fired at the sight of clan-
ger. He has been in the midst of battle, foaming
like a tiger, and animating his soldiers by shouts.
He is vindictive beyond expression, and appears

formed most extravagant ideas of royal
grandeur. Despotic and cruel towards the people
of his own colour, he causes the laws to be rigor-
ously enforced, and protects strangers who re-
spect them. There is no country in Europe
where the taxes and the duties of customs are so
rigorously enacted, and frauds more effectually
prevented."

The miners in the employof Colonel BEAustorrr,
in the western part of the county of Durham,
struck for an advance of wages, on Monday week.
That they l►fe no means of subsistence without
work is pretty certain, and, therefore, unless an
accommodation between the workmen and their
employer speedily take place, the parish of Sta►►-
hope, whose poor rates are already extremely
heavy, is likely to be burdened with an addition
of some hundreds of intopers.—(Natvosik Paper.)

CORONERS' INQUESTS.

LOVE AND INSANITY.

Yesterday an Inquest was held at the sign of the Coach and
Horses, Chiswell-street, Finsbury-systire, on the body of Mr.
Samuel Byrne, aged 20, who put an end to his existence by
taking laudanum. It appeared that the deceased resided with
his parents, and was observed to be in a very melancholy
condition. He had formed a connexion with a female, with
whom he had a quarrel, which is supposed to have bten the
cause of his melancholy. On Wedriesthty last he left home,
and did not return for sometime, when he complained of ill-
ness, sat down on a chair in the drawing-room, and was sup-
ported by his father and brother till a surgeon arrived, when
the deceased confessed having taken laudanum. He died on
ThursiLly inorning. The Jury returned a verdict of " Died
by his own act, in taking a quantity of laudanum, being at
the time iii a state of insanity."
