QUARREL OF THE DUKE OF BRUNS-
WICK AND THE KING OF HANOVER.

FRANKFORT, JULY 2G.—The commission
appointed to examine the contest between the
Duke of Brunswick and the King of Hanover
has presented to the Germanic Federation the
following " conclusions of commission :"
" Whereas his Serene Highness the Duke of
Brunswick has offended publicly and personally,
in his honour and his dignity, his Majesty the
King of Hanover, by his patent of the 10th of
May, 1827, and has renewed and enhanced the
offence by a series of acts and representations
which he has never in any instance recalled ;
whereas, by these repeated and constantly in-
creasing provocations of his Majesty of Hanover,
the tranquillity of Germany is greatly endangered;
whereas his Serene Highness the Duke of
Brunswick, by his conduct upon the occasion of
the mediation of the Courts of Vienna and
Berlin, has given the most unequivocal proofs
how little disposed he is to listen, in the true
federal spirit of the Germanic body, to the wise
and benevolent counsels of friendly Courts, in-
terposing with a view to an amicable adjustment
of his dispute with his British Hanoverian
Majesty ; and by his whole bearing has made
it imperative upon the Federation, if it would
not overlook one of the most important
purposes of its constitution, to put a prompt
and decisive termination to these aberra-
tions : for all these reasons the Germanic body
decides-Ist. His Serene Highness the Duke
of Brunswick is in fault, and is bound, within a
term of four weeks, publicly to withdraw the
patent of 10th May, 1827, and to make an ap-
propriate written apology for his conduct by the
medium of a special envoy ; and in the forms
usual amongst Sovereigns. 2dly. In considera-
tion of the peculiar circumstances of the chal-
lenge of the Hanoverian Cabinet Minister,
Count Munster, by the Brunswick officer, M.
Praun, the Germanic Body expect that his Se-
sene Highness the Duke of Brunswick will sub-
ject the said M. Praun to the necessary exami-
nation upon an assault so notorious and never
legally punished, and will cause him to be pu-
nished now according to the laws of his state ;
they look forward also to the public notiication
of the result of the judicial proceeding to be in-
stituted in its proper time. Further, the Ger-
manic body entertains the most confident expec-
tation, that from henceforward his Serene High-
ness will abstain from offering any offence di-
rectly or indirectly to his Hanoverian Majesty ;
and that lie will not suffer any of the state ser-
vants, or the subjects of his said Majesty,
to be persecuted or injured by the state ser-
vants or subjects of his Highness, on ac-
count of the past. 3dly. The Federation attri-
butes it to his Serene Highness's own fault, if
his Majesty the King of Hanover has felt him-
self called upon to take under his special pro-
tection the Privy Councillor M. Schmidt
Phiseldek, formerly a state servant of Bruns-
wick, but persecuted by his Serene Highness in
a most injurious manner, contrary to the uni-
versally received principles of right, and without
any of the forms of law, on account of his Serene
Highness's personal quarrel with his Hanoverian
. Majesty. Since, in consequence of these relations,
the proposition for the delivery of the Privy
Councillor Schmidt Phiseldek, resting upon the

treaty of the 16th of November, 153, and that
of the Bth of January, 1798, is wholly admissi-
ble ; so also is the complaint, grounded upon
the refusal of the proposition of his Serene
Highness by his Majesty of Hanover, equally
so. The Germanic Body, however, expresses
the hope that his Hanoverian Majesty will, of
his own good pleasure, and upon request of his
Serene Highness, cause to be given and sent to
Brunswick every explanation by the Privy Coun-
cillor Schmidt Phiseldek of his former official
conduct in the Duchy of Baden, which may be
deemed necessary. 4thly. The complaints of
Brunswick against Hanover, on account of the
prolongation of the minority in the time of the
supposed majority of his Serene Highness, the
DOW governing Duke, upon the part of his Ma-
jesty the King, as Regent of the Duchy• during
said minority ; as also, sthly, the complaints on
account of the introduction of the new regula-
tions of the 25th of April, 1820, into the Duchy
of Brunswick, by his Royal Hanoverian Ma-
jesty's Government, as Regent during the mi-
nority, are both alike inadmissible, upon the
ground that in both cases there is no legal cause
for the interference of the Federation. 6thly.
As his Majesty the King of Hanover, in the
state paper of the Royal Cabinet Minister
Count Munster, has but increased a rightful pri-
vilege of self-defence, and a self-defence elicited
by his Serene Highness himself, Brunswick's de-
mand for a disapproval of said paper, and for re-
calling the offensive passages supposed to be
contained in them, cannot be complied with
and the less so, because his Serene Highness
has opposed to this isolated and extorted act a
mass of the most offensive personalities*, and
has at last gone so far as to exceed, even in a
statement presented to the assembly of the Ger-
manic Body, all former outrages. 7thly. Even
as little attention is to be paid to the proposition
made upon the part of Brunswick, touching the
security of his Serene Highness the Duke ; and
touching the supposed illegal passage of the
Royal Hanoverian troops through the ducal ju-
risdiction of Thedinghausen, inasmuch as the
Royal Hanoverian Government has already, arid
unsolicited, given every explanation upon the sub-
ject which could be at all expected from it. Bthly,
As this lamentable misunderstanding between his
Royal Majesty of Hanover, and his Serene
Highness of Brunswick, has been the occasion
of several opprobrious writings (schmahschriften)
in the highest degree offensive and scandalous,
as appearing in public print, and as hereby the
danger of the strife itself is greatly enhanced, the
members of the Federation have unanimously
resolved to prohibit from henceforward in their
respective states the impression or the circula-
tion of all such unofficial controversial writings,
without any reference to the number of pages ;
and also to take care that in the public journals
nothing shall be admitted 'calculated to excite pr
to recall a quarrel now di's-posed of according to
the laws of the Germanic Federation."

IRISH ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

COUNTY DOWN, Auc. 18.
ORANGE PROCESSION AT GREYABBEY.

Samuel APMaster, Kea,,,u, John Brice,
and Francis fit:nu/lon, were.indicted for assembling
in a tumultuous manner, on the 13th July, at Grey-
abbey, and for an assault on Hugh Morrow, and on
Surgeon Orr. _ _ _

Hugh Morrow examined—(his head was ban-
daged from the cuts he received on the 13th of last
month)—ls a constable at Greyabbey ; on the 13th
of July last, between eight and sine o'clock in the
morning, he saw a procession passing through Grey-
abbey; when he came down to the old inn, he saw
live or six of the procession arguing with some chil-
dren; the whole procession consisted of above a
hundred persons; he saw Samuel McMaster holding
out a pistol, threatening what he would do if any
one molested him; the five or six men went away,
when the little boys and girls cheered after them
over the hill. Shortly afterwards he heard two pis-
tols fired ; witness felt himself bound to preserve the
peace, and therefore he followed the procession to
persuade the persons in it not to fire, and he would
bring the crowd back; saw several persons in the
procession with pistols ; heard several shots fired ;
he saw the prisoner Keag on horseback. Keag drew
a cutting whip which he had in his hand, and threa-
tened to knock out witness's brains if he did not go
away, as he had no business there. Witness said
he had business there, as he wished to preserve
the peace. Witness went on a little farther,
when he met the prisoner Brice; witness said
to him, " For God's sake, go back, and
I'll try and take away the foolish boys and girls who
are shouting." Brice said he would not go back—
he would have revenge because the crowd had mo-
lested him. After witness had advised him a little
more, Brice returned and went towards the proces-
sion. After this, M'Master, another of the prisoners,
pulled out a pistol from his breast, and cocked it,
and turned it upwards, but cannot say whether it
went off, becatise there were so many shots firing at
the time. Witness was then surrounded by the
persons of the procession, severely beaten, his head
cut, and rendered insensible. When witness was
going up the hill, lie saw stones innumerable fl Ping
from the procession after the crowd of boys and girls,
who were running down the hill.
Joseph Orr, surgeon in Gleyabbey, who bad also
been assaulted, corrobora►ed the testimony of the
last witness.

Other persons gave evidence to the same effect.
The Jury returned a verdict that M'Master and
Keag were guilty of the assault and riot ; Brice
guilty of aiding and abetting in the assault and riot ;
and Hamilton guilty of being in the riot.
The JUDGE accordingly sentenced Keag and
M'Master to nine months' confinement in gaol;
Brice to six months ; and Hamilton to three months'
confinement ; and the whole to give bail for their
good behaviour for three years, each in 501., and
two"sureties in 2.5/. each.
This trial fiencluded the business of these assizes.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON MARKETS.

(From the London New Price Current of yesterday.)

SUGAR.—The Sugar Market continued firm all the last
week, the prices rather improving ; the estimated sales
were about 4000 hhds. and trs. The estimated sales this
day 700 hhds. There was little variation in the prices of
Refined Goods last week, but as the demand has been very
general, particularly fur low Lumps for export, our stock
is so reduced that several parcels for forward delivery are
reported ; crushed is rather lower. Molasses unvaried.—
Total deliveries from the three warehouses, 3,698 hhds.
and tea. 6.443 bags. Stock in the London and St. Katha-
rine Docks-4,832 hhds. and tea. 15,016 bags, 2,010
boxes and chests.

FOILEIGN SUGAR.—The small quantity of fine White
Havannah left on sale last week is disposed of at 48s. ; no
sales of yellow descriptions. About 180 chests Brazil
Sugar sold at former rates, low to good white Pernams
275. a 345.; some Manilla sold at steady prices ; of 154
hltds. Porto Rico the great proportion sold, the coloury
235. 6d. a 255., brown 19s. a 225. This day 102 chests
Havannah Sugar, fine yellow a little washed 295. a 30s.
EAST INDIA &amt.—Last week, by public sale, about
3,000 bags Mauritius went off with briskness, the fine and
the brown at Is. advance, the mid. without alteration.
The Bengal Sugars of the late India House salt are re-
selling at Is. advance. This day at public sale 5,287
bags Mauritius Sugar; good yellow sold at 51s. a
51s. 6d., dry brown at 455. a 455. 6d. ; prices firm.
COFFEE.—The late supplies of Coffee are limited for
the season of the year; the consequence has been a more
general demand ; aud, as the quantity offered for sale last
week was limited, there are considerable purchases by
private contract at rather higher prices, particularly clean
Jamaica descriptions, for Berbice and Demerara Coffee.
The Dominica was heavy, and Is. lower. Some fine
ordinary Brazil 355. a 355. 6d.; good ordinary 325. 6d. a
335. ; good ordinary Batavia 345. a 345. 6d. This day
554 bags Foreign, chidly Brazil, good ordinary 335. 6d. ;
three lots small berry Havannah at 345. ; 92 casks 188
bags British Plantation ; good middling Jamaica sold at
71s. a 71s. 6d., Dutch 411 unclean Coffee. The market
is without alteration.

BUM, BRANDY, AND • HOLLA NDS. —There have been
considerable sales of Rum ; the ordinary qualities of Ja-
maica at rather lower prices; the fine and low -Leewards

hoard Is. l Id. ; IS over, 2s. 2d ; Demerara, 32 over,
2s. Sd. ; Jamaica ordinary, 32 over, at 2s. 11d. ; fine,
3s. 2d. a 3s. 6d. The best marks of Brandy are scarce,
and command higher prices ; the inferior are without va-
riation ; several rather large parcels are reported for ex-
port. Geneva is still neglected.
HEMP, FLAX, AND TA GLOW. —The large arrivals of
Tallow, the rapid accumulation of stock, and the short
weekly deliveries, have an unfavourable effect on the prices
of Tallow. Hemp maintains the late advance. Flax is
little varied. The letters from St. Petersburgl► are dated
Bth instant. Tallow, 103.

TEA.-The prompt for last sale is on Friday, and is
expected to be considerable ; in the mean time the Market
continues in a languid state.,

favourable ; the cold nights of list week, and the high
winds have checked the Hops ; the estimated duty has
fallen from 95,000/. to 38,000/. ; and to day 35,0001. is
mentioned. The holders are asking much higher prices,
but the actual sales are inconsiderable.

for the home trade, for which there is a considerable de-
mand-200 hhds. Leaf also sold to the trade.

varied. Arrivals last week 571 bales Bacon, (8,810 firks.
Irish Butter. 5,732 casks Foreign.
RlCE.—There is rather more demand for Bengal I4ice
on account of the rainy weather, and the rise of the Corn
Market ; the holders are more firm ; mid. and good I ls.
6d. a 125., 1,400 bags Patna kind sold last week at 14s.
6d. a 16s.

Itinico.—There is more firmness in Indigo ; the holders
do nut press sales; the actual purchases are still, however,
on a limited scale.
