His Majesty the King of Denmark having given to
M. del Borgo de Primo, his Charge d'Affaires at this
Court, the character of Envoy Extraordinary, to pre-
sent to his Majesty the insignia of the most illustrious
Order of the Elephant, the King, our Sovereign, was
pleased to appoint Saturday, the 28th, to receive the
said insignia. The Minister was accordingly intro-
duced 'at two o'clock, with the usual ceremonies; and
having delivered his credentials and the insignia, ad-
dressed his Majesty as follows:

" Sire--The King of Denmark, my august master,
desiring to give to your Majesty a distinguished proof
of his esteem and respect, and of the value which he
attaches to.thefriendly relations that have always sub-
sisted between the two countries, sends to your Majesty
the insignia of his Order of the Elephant.
gi This Order, Sire, the origin of which is lost in
remote antiquity, was worthy 'of your ancestors. The
emblem which it represents comei from a country the
glorious theatre of the virtues and iptendid= actions
which immortalized the Portuguese Nation...

" You, Sire, are the first of its Kings en whom the
Order of the Elephant has been conferred. This cir-
cumstance gives it additional value,.and proves, in the
most striking manner, the. sentiments of my august',
master► By deigning to charge me with so flatter-
ing a mission, my Sovereign crowns the favours with
which he has been pleased to honour me, satisfies my
ambition, the wishes of my heart, and those of my,
gratitude.
" Be pleased, Sire, to accept, with that goodness of
which you have given me so many proofs, the respect-,
ful tribute of these sentiments."

His Majesty replied—

" Sir—The distinguished proof which his Majesty
the King, your august master, has just given me of his
esteem, by sending me the insignia of his Order of the
Elephant, is of the highest value tome. I accept it with
the greater satisfaction, as it has proceeded from the
friendly relatiops that have at all times subsisted be-
tween the two crowns. I flatter myself these recipro-
cally advantageous and honourable relations will daily
acquire more solidity, and I. shall certainly do every
thing in my power to strengthen them.
" I wish you, Sir, to express to his Majesty the King
of Denmark all my gratitude for this new proof of his,
friendship. You may also assure his Danish Majesty,
that it is very agreeable to me that he has been pleased
to.choose you for di* mission."
The same evening the house of the Minister was
finely illuminated, and a brilliant company assembled.

Brussels and Ghent Papers to the 4th instant, reached
us this morning.
The Ghent Journal, states, that his Majesty, in conse-
quence of the address relative to the corn trade, pre-
sented to him by the Second Chamber, has now named
Commissioners to investigate the subject, 2nd that M.
BARTHELEMY, the proposer of the address, is among
the number.

There is also a report of a very interesting nature, viz.
that a Royal Decree may be expected to appear in a
few days, which, originating in the principle of recipro-
' city, will prohibit the importation of French merchan-
dise in general into the kingdom of the Netherlands.
Accounts from Augsburgh state, that the Decree of
the Prussian Cabinet, prohibiting its subjects from stu-
dying in certain foreign Universities (those of Tubingen
and Basle were expressly named), on account of the re-
volutionarz principles supposed to be inculcated in
them, caused an extraordinary sensation, and the Go-
vernments interested made remonstrances to that of
Prussia. The Cabinet of Stuttgard addre'.sed a diplo-
matic note to that of Berlin, to disprove the accusation;
against the University of Tubingen. The Government
of Basle afterwards did the same with respect to the
University of Basle.

Dutch Papers to the 4th inst. hare reached us this
morning. The following are extracts :

FRANKFORT, JULY 27.

We learn from good authority, that M. Masbarif,-whol
was arrested at Hanover, and then conveyed to Cassel,
on account of the threatening letters addressed to the
Elector of Hesse, is on the point of regaining his liberty.
He is allowed to correspond with his friends, and has
written an account of this change in his situation to his
brother at WeWar.

JASSY, JUNE ri.

The discontent of the principal Boyars with our Hos-
podar (at least the matter is so repre,ented by the Court)
is chiefly caused by their anger at the Prince, after he
had in vain invited those who had Red into the Russian
territory to return, having given the offices which they
held by virtue of,their rank to ethers of a lower degree.
This led to the complaints of the principal of these to
the Turkish Government, the issue of which was so un-
fortunate. While they were allowed to send their com-
plaints, the Great Coupcil, on the other hand, took care
to inform the Divan of the real state of the case, on
which rigorous measures were adopted against the
complainants.

The prisoners were afterwards released, on the inter-
cession of the Hospodar himsel4'who his also behaved
with great indulgence to the other malcontents in the
principality itself who had been banished—ions* to their
estates, others into the convents. Since that time the
