LOWER ELBE, SEPT. 2T.

In the Hamburgh Correhondent of the Bth Auguft,
No. 131, the following article was infected from Come
of the German Papers :
" According to the public reports, the PolithNobles
had expelled a with to his Majefty the Emperor
Napoleon, that the vaffalage of the peafants of the
new Duchy of Warfaw might be (offered to continue
40 years longer ; but as they received no favourable
anfwer, the deputation which waited upon the Em-
peror Napoleon before his departure, ventured only
to apply to him for a prolongation of it for five years.
The anfwer of the Great Sovereign was—' Not an
hour ! ! '—( Par tine heure! !)"
We owe it to truth to fay, that the above nate-
ment is entirely Nile, and that we are authorized to
declare, that no fuch application was ever made t that
the willies of the deputation and of the whole Polith
Nobility entirely accord with the happy change which
his Majetly the Emperor Napoleon has made in the
law of the Duchy of Warfaw, by the abolition of
livery ; that the deputation of the Duchy of War-
faw confider the imputation of any other opinion to
them, as an odious calumny.

EAST PRUSSIA, SEPT.!.
The following Royal Refcript has hien publifbed
here :
TO THE DEPUTIES EiIOSI THE MACK OF DEMME/1E11RO:

" Faithful and beloved &ArkCts—l have received
at the hands of your Deputies the Councillors Faun-
wits, Zieten, and the Burgomafler Freytag, of the •
choice of whom 1 mutt ezprefs my particular fat& I
faCtion, your:memcrial of the 3oth inftant, relative
to the occur' ences in the Middle Mark, Prignitz,
and Ukkermark, during the occupation of the French.
Great and oppreftive as the burdens are which the
unfortunate war now concluded, has brought upon
my faithlul vaffals and fubjeas in the Paid provinces,
and feverely as I am fenfible of them, she unflaaken
fidelity and attachment of my fubjeCts is (till greater
as their patient endurance has proved. Ynu have by
your conduit obtained the efteein of the French, who
if perfevered in, will, now that peace is concluded,
thew you (till more of that forbearance, with which
when enemies they endeavoured to diminifh the ca-
lamities of war.
•' It muff fit ft be your care to fatisfy, to the utmoft
of your power, the arrears of the contributions levied
by the French army, fince on that alone muff depend
whether we fhall loon enjoy the fruits cf peace, and
be enabled to heal the time wounds which war has
inflitied on our country. To facilitate your perform-
ance of this, I will endeavour to abrogate the debt
which the payment of the contributions his obliged
the country to contrail, by every poQble economy rn
the di(burfement from the revenues of the country for
the maintenance of the civil and military (fate. With
this view I have already reduced the Pcnfion
and confined it to cafes of the utmoff nece(fity, and
have made confiderable progrefs in the limitation of
civil apd military fee vice, much as it may pain my
heart, efpecially as I mull feparate myfelt from men
of merit, and men who have long ferved me. I muff
at all events avoid the neceffity of impofing new bur-
then: on my fubjelts, at a time when it is much more
my duty to fupport them in every pnffible manner.
I have, by fending General Knoblefdorf to Paris, done
all that depends on me to procure a diminution of the
contributions, as alfo a facilitation of the paynpnts,
by the acceptance of inflalmeots. All the condi-
tions of the, peace I will certainly endeavour mire-
. mittingly to fulfilf—more is not in my power—and I
can only refer you to Privy Councillor Gieflach,
whom I have provifionally appointed to the provin-
cial admininration of the EleBoral Mark, and air-
pointed civil commiffary general for all affairs rela-
tive to the peace in the provinces, and in the city :
he will afford you every affiftance."

The Deputies of Berlin alfo wrote to the King on

" 'I he affeition with which the Deputies and Re-
orefentatives of the Citizens of my good city of Ber-
lin, in their letter of the 14th of laft month, have
endeavoured to confole me for the lots of fo many
brave fubjettla, has made an infinite impreffion on
me. I remember my loft children with grief and gra-
m titude ; while I give my love undivided to thole who
. remain. I aazioufly expeel the time when I may.
• again fee them, and do all in my power to haften it.
On this my good Citizens of Berlin may rely, till I
can thew myfelf to them in perfon as their gracious
• King. " 114,$D111CR 111.11A1r."_
