Hamburgh Papers to the 25th instant reached us this
forenoon. They contain a Royal Ordonnance issued by
his MAJESTY, for regulating the Church at Hanover,
by which the several Professors of the Christian faith
are declared to enjoy the same perfect equality of civil
and pnlitical rights; and all notion of a predominant
and of a merely tolerated Church is entirely abolished.
Russia, we are sorry so see, still persecutes the poor
Jews in Poland: when will the prejudices against this
proscribed people terminate? It appears that the Mor
aicipal Government of Warsaw has issued an Ordoa-
sauce, by which all Jews, natives as well as foreigners,
are forbidden to come to the capital, and settle there
Every Jew who visits the capital must ask at the gate
for "a license to sojourn," for which he must pay twenty
Polish groats for one day. If his business requires him
to remain at Warsaw more than one day, he must go
with his license to the Police Office, and there apply for
a prolongation. Every one continuing clandestinely
to pay two ria-dollars fine. But to facilitate to Jew*
living in the city the means of leaving and returning,
they must apply to the clerk at the gate when they go
out of the,city, who must give them a particular car*
which they are to give back when
,they return..

PROCLAMATION:

" Gloms IV. &c.
It having come to our knowledge that some doubts
are entertained respecting the iaterpretation acid appli-
cation of the first paragraph of the 16th Article of the
Act of the German Confederation of the Bth of June,
1815, which is to ;the following effect The differ-
ence of the Christian religious communities cannot
lead to any difference in the enjoyment of civil and po-
litical rights in the countries composing the German
Confederation, we are induced to issue the following
•
declaration and Ordennance t

------__
44 1. The several professors of the Christian Faith en-
joy a perfect equality of civil and political rights in the
kingdom, and in conformity with the said article, the'
notion of a predominant and of a merely tolerated
church is entirely abolished.
" 2. All Christian religions communities have a right
to the unobstructed and free exercise of their religious
worship, and every clergyman can recluirt the sur7.l
plices, &c. only from the parishioners of his own per..
suasion. Consequently—
"S. Those inhabitants who belong to a different
Christian persuasion from that of the parish; are to pay
the fees, &c. only to the clergymen of their persuasion,
to whose parish they are positively annexed. Fees can
be required by a clergyman of a different persuasion,
when he has been required to petiorm the official
duty, and has really performed it.
" 4. On the other hand, all dues to churches
.and
schools, which proceed from houses, farms, and other
landed property in a parish, without regard to the per-
sonal qualities of the professor in respect to his reli-
gious belief, are still to be paid to those entitled to
them, by every possessor, even if he belongs to a Chris-
tian party different from that of the parish,
"5. Contains regulations for the entries 'in the
church books. .

STOCKEIOLII, DECEMBER io.
Our merchants are making the greatest exertions,
notwithstanding the lateness of the season, to send .co.
lonial goods, salt, &e. to St. Petersburgh. Several
vessels, laden with sugar, coffee, ecc. have already
sailed to Abo.
The tariff is in the press.

This forenoon we received Charleston Papers to the
3d of December. The following are extracts : ,
extract of a letter from Porto Bello, dated 29th of
October : is An English ship, the Minerva, stated to
belong to Gibraltar, has arrived here ; she was taken on
her passage from Gibraltar to Lima, with naval stores
and provisions, by a Colombian cruizer. Not one on
board could speak English, but they said they be-
longed to Malta. After several days trial, some irre•
gularities were found in'her papers, and she was con-
demned. English flag was immediately lowered,
and the Colitabian hoisted, to the dissatisfaction of the
British Consul, who has gone 16 Caraccas in a rem

rage. • We. expect daily the Msoisel of the-showiest
Station will ,ake notice of the transaction."
The Fahnontk4latfonal Intolliieneer contains some
particulars of the mutiny of the crew of the ship Maher,
late Captain Worth, which arrived at Edgar town'
on the 14th ult. It seems the mutiny took place
about the 25th of January last; when the Captain was
killed in his: berth with an axe, the Mate was shot,
and -she Second Mate was wounded and thrown
overboard ; six of the crew are supposed to have
been , concerned in the said mutiny. The mud-
teen kept possession of the ship until the 17th February.
They put into the Mulgrave Islands, lehere they
landed a part of their provisions, and were about land-
ing the rest, with the view of destroying the ship the
next day. In the evening the greater part of the crew,
who had not.joined with the mutineers, and who were
below at the time when the Officers were killed, were
sent -on board the ship to get supper, and to carry it
on shore; they seized the opportunity to retake the
ship, and she was steered for Valparaiso, where Lieute-
nant Ring and six men of the United States ship Frank-
lin were put on board, and have brought the ship home.
Four new gun boats from Philadelphia arrived at
Laguira previous to the sailing of the Edgar, took
in some stores, and proceeded for Porto Cavello. By
thebrig Messenger, from Curacoa, we have received Pa-
pers to the 21st Oct. but they contain nothing of interest.
The French Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday have
reached us. The official part of the Moniteur contains
a Royal Ordonnance, appointing M. 'twat President of
the Chamber of Deputies for the present Session. An
article troni Madrid, in the Etoik, states that the last
French troops left that capital on the 20th ult. and that
two Swiss regiments, consisting of 2,000 men, are the
only foreign troops that remain. The report of the
Constitutionalists having lauded at Alicant is contra-
dieted ; but as the same article asserts 86 that all classes
are firmly persuaded that Spain will resume the posses-
sion of its South American Colonies," we do not attach
much importance to any of its statements.
The French Papers contain intelligence of a new de-
feat of DIMUSCH PACIIA, who had attempted to-relieve
Lepanto. He was attacked in the passes of Salon% and
wits completely defeated, losing his artillery and a thou-
sand of his bravest soldiers.

We have received Dutch and Brussel Papers to the
25th inst. Some extracti from the latter are given in
a preceding column. One of these papers contains a
somewhat'Curicius article from Russia, in the shape of
a privateletter from St. Petersburgh, as follows
" The disaster which has just plunged the city in
mourning, happened 011 the anniversary of the death of
the Empress Caches Inc IT. This coincidence his made
a profound impression on the minds of the Russians,
who look on this catastrophe is a judgment on Russia
for having abandoned the systen3 of Catherine, which
wsis to expel the Turks from Europe, and re-establish
the independence of the Greeks, who are closely united.
Lto the Russiaas by threonxmunit7 di' their reseal.
the fatal 19th of November, the churches are
constantly crowded with the inhabitants of the city and
country, who repair to them, not so Much to thank
Heaven for their escape, as to disarm its anger and im-
plore it not to inflict more dreadful chastisements on the
Russians as a punishment for the indifference they have
.shewn towards their fellow Christians. The name of
'the Greeks is frequently mingled in the prayers of the
terrified people, who never appeared animated with a
more unanimous feeling, or a greater religious fery our."
The inference here drawn is whimsical enough but
the fact is, that-Russia has never lost sight of the policy
of CATHERINE; but several _difficulties have occurred
to prevent her putting it in practice.-of which the in-
dependence' of Greece itself is not the least. And really,
6we think, Russia has nothing to reproach herself with
atiTa:r as the policy. of CATEIRRINI is concerned. CA•
Tumults said her capital was.too near her frontier—
s& most haveFinland.She did not live to accomplish that,
but the present EMPEROR has succeeded in adding Fin-
land to his vast-empire.- In several other instances the
policy of CATIIIIRINR has been as closely adhered to
as circumstances would permit.
The Dutch Papers only supply us with the following
extracts—.

BATAVIA, ATIGII/IT lc
We have news flout Macassar by a proa which left
Fort Rotterdam on the 25th nk. The Governor General,
and the Baroness Van der Capellan, were still in .good
health at that place.
The accounts fro* Lieut.-Colonel de Stners, later
than these before published, ate vVy favourable. Tran-
quillity is restored at Tanette, and the newly-elected
Queen, to whose presence of mind, in the moment of
danger, the people justly ascribe the safety of the town
is highly respected. She was shortly expected at Ma.,
cassar, to do homage t. the Government.

Letters have been receivedin Glasgow from Jamaica,
to the 16 th of November. They complain, as usual,
of the interference of Ministers, andthe depreciation of
property. The Glasgow Courier of Tuesday contains the
following extract from a letter, dated St. Ann, 12th Nov,
r—After relating the rencontre between the rtma.
ways and party sent against them, the writer proceeds s
Is This party retired, and a few days since, six compa-
nies of the Militia and sixty Maroons, after. a tedious
and intricate march of ten honr‘rdiscovered one of tiles
