FRANKFORT, SEPTENIBRR 29.

The Catholic community of Dusseldorf has just ad-
dressed a complaint to the Vicar-General of Cologne,
pointing out Count de Reck, who has formed a new
sect of Separatists, with the aid of a certain Dr. Valenti,
who was expelled some years ago for his fanatical pro-
ceedings. The Count de Reck is one of those pseudo.
mystics whose Chiefs have been expelled within these
few years from Bavaria, and from all Russia. The
spirit of the sect slaws itself in printed pamphlets and
handbills, which he dist: ibtates among the children, the
reapers, and passengers on the high roads, or lets swim
down the rivulet the Dussel, that they may fall into the
hands of the washerwomen of Dusseldorf ; sometimes
he preaches sermons ; he even goes so far as to celebrate
the ceremonies of baptism and burial.
Madame Christophe, widow of the late Emperor of
Hayti, has arrived here on her way to Florence, where
she intends to pass the winter.

Hamburgh Papers to the Ist instant, reached us this
oisorning. The following are extracts:—
ST. PETERSBURGII, SEPTEMBER Is.

We hear that we shall have the pleasure of seeing the
Emperor here so early as the 20th of next month, his
Majesty, it is said, having abridged his intended tour
for a fortnight. It is just teported that General Benc-

kendorif, our Ambassador at Stlittgard, is to go to Ma-
drid, to take the place of M. Oubril, who is to go
to Naples.

WARSAW, SEPTFOIBER 14b
The 11th instant, the Saint's day of the Emperor our
King, was observed with great festivity.
The Russian Senator Novosilzow, has arrived here
for St. Petersburgh.
A Royal decree of the 17th of .last month, prolongs
till the Ist of May, 1825, the time within which the
Jews must remove from the principal streets of this
capital, which was at first fixed for the 4tb of October,
this year. No farther delay will be alloyed.

STOCKHOLM, SEPTEMBER 21.

The return of the Crown Prince and Princess from
Norway is filed for the 16th of October, and perhaps
their Majesties will go to Finspang to meet them.
The Committee of Legislation has began the revisal
of the Civil Code, and as soon as it is complete, it will
be laid before the Supreme Court of Justice for exa-
mination.

The Prussian Government, it appears, is at length
about to convene the Provincial States, a step long
meditated, and closely connected with the practical
freedom of the country. In order to insure the cordial
support of these assemblies, the Government has taken
care to deserve it, by measures of strict and rigorous
economy, having made a reduction of no less than four
milligns of crowns, out of an expenditure of fifty mil-
lions, of which one-third was for the war department.
The cities of Cologne, Minden, E:furth, Stralsund, and.
amtzic, will be no longer tl,e seats of Provincial
Government. It is said the Minister of War, De MCI
resins, and the five sections of the Ministry of War,
will form in future but two, which are to be super in.
tended by WITZLEBEN, the Adjutant of the King. In
all the departments of the Government these will be
numerous reductions. As for the army, the reductions
will not extend but to the Staff, die Artillery, and the
Lnndwchr. The Administration of Commerce will be
united with that of the Home Department.

It appears from the intelligence from Spain. that the
instructions of the Superintendent• General of Police to
exterminate all those who declared theniselves in favour
of the Constitution, are perfectly well understood. A
letter from Madrid, in the Constilutio»nel, says, that.
the accounts from different parts of the Peninsula, and
particularly /hose from Andalusia, Arragon, and NA-
varre, speak of partial massacres in every direction. A
letter in the Journal des Debats speaks in like manner
of extensive arrests, and of the barbarous expulsion fi um'
Madrid of the wives of the Ex-Deputies of the Cot tes,
and many other persons of distinction. The order to
depart allowed them only twenty-four hours ! which
begins to be counted from the moment when the orderl
to set out is transmitted to their habitations.
New arrests take place every day. Of this number is
the arrest of General ST. Maw, ex•Captain.of the king-
dom of Valentia, who has been arrested in Madrid, and
is now strictly guarded.
The band of insurgents, who are stationed, to the
amount of 200 men, in the mountains of Cuenca, in-
creases daily, by the addition not only of the military
of the ancient army, but also by the national volunteers,
who are proscribed.
The Commandant-General of the Camp of Gibraltar,
writes that the Military Commission charged with clas-
sifying and judging the prisoners taken at Tarifa, con-
formably to the King's Ordonnance of the 20th of last
August, has condemned thirty persons to be shot, for
having assisted the insurgents. They underwent the
punishment on the rnotning of the 11th ult. with the
exception of one,of the latter, who had been kept in the
Chapel, in consequence of its being doubted whether he
was of the age required by the law,.but upon its being

!roved that he was nineteen years, he was executed on
the 12th. MANuEL DE LA SERNA, and ANTONY MORO
CARRETERO were shot on the 18th instant, at Madrid,
for having taken up arms in the environs of Tamancon,
for the purpose of re-establishing the Constitution.
The rabble of Madrid, who have, since the restoration
of the absolute monarchy, been quite vi)lent in their
zeal against the Negros, have latterly begun to murmur
against the Government. During the constitutional
system, and for a short time afterwards, they were fed
by the Monks gratuitously, in order to purchase their
services, and they were accordingly the loudest in their
outcries of joy at the execution of the unfortunate
Ilizoo ; but now that the supply of provisions is with-
held, these feelings are changed, and they are ready to'
vent their indignation against the Priests. It is hardly
to be conceived by those who know: not the fact, what
an important body is the rabble of she Spanish capital
to those who have political projects to accomplish. Like
the Lazzaroni of Naples, they constitute an overawing
power, without whose consent no change can be made.
All the foundations of society are uprooted in that
miserable kingdom, and " chaos is come again."

We are without any further arrivals from Paris since
yesterday ; and no mention is made of the affairs of
Greece, in either the Hamburgh or Brussels Papers
received this morning. The defeat of the Turks at
Samos, and the destruction of the Capitan Pacha's fleet,
are, however, reported from so many different quarters,
that it is difficult not to believe they have some founda-
tion in truth.

It is on the cther hand somewhat extraordinary, that
events of such importance are not well authenticated, or
contradicted before this time, particularly as sufficient
time has elapsed since they are said to have taken place.
CHARLES X. continues to act in a conciliatory man-
ner, and is rapidly ensuring popularity. Parisian poli-
ticians still speculate on a change of the Ministry; and

t will be' seen-bY the following lifter, which we copy
from the British Frets, that N. DE VILLILE is not
thought to be so-firmly seated as to ensure the *lain•
tenance of his power

" PAms, Ocr. 4.

" Saturday, after the appearance of M. de Chateau-
briand's pamphlet, he had an audience of the King,
which lasted above an hour. Yesterday (Sunday) the
levee of his Majesty was very brilliantly as well as nu-
merously attended. A great many Members of the Op-
position of both Chambers were present. The King ad-
dressed himself in the most affable manner to M. Royer
Collard, and continued talking with him for some mi-
nutes. When he was gone, the King asked M. de Talley-
rand, who the Monty was that he had been conversing
%% ith ? ' Sirt,' said M. de Talleyrand, it was M. Royer
Collard. Why did you not tell me sooner,' rejoined
his Majesty, that 1 might have given him a better
reception,' (je lui aural: fait um Lien meilleur accueil).
I thought,' replied M. de Talleyrand, that your Ma-
jesty had recollected him ; but will your Majesty per-
m

lit me to make known by letter the obliging words
you have spoken to me respecting him?' Yes, cer-
tainly,' said the King; g write to him what I have said,
and ex pt ess the sentiments of esteem and affection I feel
towards hi m,' (Oui certes, eel iwez lui ce que je viens de
rout dire et rijoutez y respression des sentimehts d'estime
et dajfirtion que jai pour lui).
Whatever may have been said to the contrary, I
can assure you that Decaze met with a reception,
equally-favourable. Nothing can exceed the popularity
of the King and the Dauphin. The removal of M. de
Villele is confidently expected. Perhaps no one act has
contributed more generally to
,increase the King's po-
pularity than the happy reply he made to General Ex-
celmans General, I forget all that has passed. The
only thing tliat I wish to remember is, that when you
received tiom Binaparte an order to pursue me, you
fixed on a different road to that which I pursued."
