This forenoon we received German Papers to the 9th
instant. One of them contains an article from the
Oriental Spectator of the 20th of January, on the affairs
of the Greeks, which is as veracious as its statements
usually are. We are told that the typhus fever prevails
at Napoli di Romania, a owing to the rebellion of the
Greeks, and the scarcity which it has produced ;" that
COLOCOTRONI was entrenched between Modon and Ar-
gos, and was approaching Napoli ; that 16 of the Egyp-
tian fleet had arrived at Modon, and 36 had sailed for
Patras ; that the Viceroy of EGYPT was fitting out a
new expedition against them ; and lastly, that a consi-
derable European naval force is on the point of appear-
ing before Napoli, for injuries done to the commerce of
its nations. All of which the Editor of the Oriental
Spectator will find some difficulty in making arty one
believe. •

Accounts froni Berlin state, that the King of Pnus-
SIA has confirmed the promotion of his Privy Coun-
sellor, FERDINAND AUGUST SPIEGEL, to the dignity of
Archbishop of Cologne. He has taken the oath of
allegiance and fidelity, which the superior Catholic
Clergy have to take to his MAJESTY, in the usual form.

The French PApers of Mond..y, and private letters
from Paris, of that date, have been received. The lat-
ter state that the utmost bustle prevails there, that the
.inttrviews between the French Ministers and the Rus-
sian Ambassadors are frequent, and that couriers are
continually sending off to St. Petersburgh. The fol-
lowing is an extract from the Eloik of Monday:
PARIS, MARCH it.

It is announced that the troops which, at the desire
of King Ferdinand, remained in Spain after the (time
fised fur the) evacuation, will depart _on the Ist of
April. Two French squadrons will be stationed on the
coats of Galicia and in the Bay of Biscay.

The Duke of NotthumLerland, Ambassador Extra,
ordinary from his Britannic Majesty fot the certmony
of the Coronation, has just hired, it is said, the Hotel of
Gallifit to receive him and his numerous suite. If we
may believe the accounts that are circulated, nothing
can be compared to the magnificence which his Grace
will display on this occasion. Besides the richest fur-
niture, and splendid service of plate, which is ♦alued at
about 100,0001. sterling (2,50020000, he brings, in the
suite of his family, and of several relations of the Du-
chess, twelve Gentlemen, and four Secretaries, twelve
maitres d'hotel, and a number :of domestics in propor-
tion to the state he means to display."

The contest for the office of President of the United
States is at length terminated by the election of Joni
QUINCY ADAMS. The numbers at the close of the pros
ceedings stood as follows :—For Mr. ADAMS, 13 ; Ge-
neral JACKSON, 7; Mr. CRAWFORD, 4. This is only the
second time,since the period of American Independence,
that the election for the office of President his devolved
on the House of Representatives. The other case was
in the struggle between Mr; JEFFIIRSON and Colonel
AARON BURR, in 1801.
The new President is the son of Joni; ADAMS, the
President who succeeded General WAstriNci in, and is
a man of great experience and liberal principles. In
Blackwood's Magazine, which contains some of the
best articles that have appeared on the United States;
Mr. ARAMs is said. to be " one of the ablest statesmen
and most profound scholars of the age."
