GERMIIN PAPERS.

VIENNA Aran. 9.

The Austrian Observer of this day contains a Proclamation of
Count Lilienberg, our Commanding-General at Agrom, in Croatia,
stating that his Majesty the Emperor has been pleased to grant pet.
mission to return without subjecting themselves to punishment, the
fugitives, deserters, and robbers from the Austrian States, who shall
voluntarily come back on their urgent supplication, and their pro.
anise to disclose all they know relative to die Bosinian Banditti, and
even to assist in pursuing the robbers. In order to make these re-
pentent sinners entirely easy, a Protocol will be drawn in the most
precise terms, in the presence of some Ecclesiastic', stating the con.
dition of their pardon, and a copy of it will be deposited in the hands
of the person whom they themselves shall choose. Thus the coun-
try opens its arms to its repentant sons, in order to receive them
kindly at their paternal homes ; and the inexhaustible clemency of
his Majesty secures to them the punctual execution of the favour-
able terms granted diem. All those who intend to profit by this
gracious amnesty are hereby invited to appear with their families
and their eft eta, at the latest by the Bth of May this year, at the
frontier posts. Should here be among the fugitives any so per.
versely wicked as to repulse the beneficent arm that the country
holds out to them, in order to persevere in the career of vice, and
prefer a roaming life, in which every day may lead them to destruc-
tion, to a peaceful abode in their owo country in the bosom of
their families, they must blame themselves alone fur the injurious
consequences that may thence come to themselves and their families.

The journey of his Highness the Mecca to Fulda, where our
august clearest' has held her court ever since last autumn, is an
event which fills all patriotic Hessians with joy, and the more so as
it is asserted that his Highness the Electoral Prince has also been
invited to go to Fulda.
As the departure of the Elector for Fulda took place soon after a
visit which the Prussian Minister at the Diet paid to hie Highness
at Cassel, by whoin he is highly esteemed, it is inferred that that
distinguished statesman has had some influence in the matter.— Nu-

Persons are now engaged in the Duchy of Brunswick, with the
approbation of the Ministers, in drawing up a new Liturgy, which
shall be equally conformable to the spirit of Christianity and the ge-
neral diffusion of knowledge. To judge by the measures which have
been taken fur this purpose, the Liturgy may he reckoned among
the best that exists. A Circular of the Consistory, dated 20th Feb in-
vites all Prinegant Ministers of the Duchy to send in plans for a Li-

In 1817 France recovered the establishments of which she 1,.1.1
been in possession on the cadet of Africa no less than four reoturic,.
The advantageous situation of these possessions, the richt eats of their
produce in grain, cattle, wool, wax, honey, etc. the extraordinary
facilities which they offer for sending our nierchandiee into the I; .
terior of Africa, and the abundant coral fishery on the coast--all ties
had become a great source of profit to the companies which car-
ried on commerce there before the revolution. But since 18'.7
the instability of our relations with the regency of Algiers, add. d to
the open and avowed design of the Hey to deprive us of our posses-
sions in Africa, have prevented our merchants from returning they
and forming any considerable establishments, which must be always
founded on confidence to stand on a solid basis. Such a state of
affairs must be considered as one of our principal rounds of cont.
plaint against Algiers, for the hostile positions of the Dey have:
directly contributed to prevent an old French possession from ac-
quiring that Importance which it formerly enjoyed.
In the and once in which the Dey insulted our Consul, he told
him publicly, that he would not allow a single French etymon to
remain on the territory of Algiers ; and he should henceforward
only acknowledge us to possess those general rights which were en-
joyed by the other European merchants which came to Algiers ter
traffic.' Such are his own expressions, and it will soon be seen that
he immediately caused all the forts belonging to France to be de.
molished, together with the commercial establishments which hat!
been founded inglar,thstir protection.
Besides the peenession of an extensive territory, we enjoyed ;dee
the exclusive right of fishing coral for about sixty leagues
along the coast; and this right had been acknowledged in our
Treaties with the Porte, as well as with the Regency of Algiers.
These Treaties stipulated that we should pay for the privilege
17,000 francs, according to the original conditions; but this aunt
was increased to 60,000 francs, when we recovered the ptiellege
in 1817. But two years had hardly elapsed, when the Hey
suddenly declared that we must choose between giving up our
privilege, or the annual payment of 200,000 francs. The interest
of our commerce made the Government consent to this new augmeti.
tation of charges : and yet notwithstanding our punctuality in pay.
Ing the duty, the Dey published in 1826, a manifesto, granting to
all nations the pemnsalon of fishing coral on the coasts of the Ac.
gene,' of Algiers, thus depriving us of a privilege of which he still
was desirous to receive the price.
A considerable number of private motives of complaint migl.t
be added to these general acts; but we shall at present only speak
of the most flagrant, which are posterior to the restoration.
In 1814, the Dey intimated to the Consul-General, Id. Dubois
Thainville, an order to settle the accounts of several of his Al.
gerine subjects, who had become the creditors ot France ; and as
the Consul represented that he could not do so without the autho.
&mien of his Government, the Dey made hint leave Algiers ins.
mediately. The events of the hundred days ooliged us to pines
over this insult, and a new Consul was sent in 1816; but the Ley
consented to receive him only on condition of being previously paid
100,000 francs as a present.
In 1818, the French brig Ls Fortune was attacked:and pillaged
by the inhabitants of the district of Bona, and the Hey constantly
refused to give any kind of satisfaction.
In 1818, the Dey, on being summoned by the French Admiral
Jurien and the English Admiral Freetitantle, to give up piracy. se.
cording to the resolutions taken at the Congress of Aix-la.Cha.
pelle, answered that lie intended to reserve to himself the right of
making "laves of the subjects of all powers which should not enter
into treaties with him, and should not send to his states Consuls
through whose. hands the tributes to him might pass.
In 1825, notwithstanding the express tenour of the treaties and
under the pretext of smuggling. the Hey caused a domiciliary visit
and search to be made in the house of the French Consul at Bona.
The result of the search proved the falseness of the accusation, and
yet the Dey gave no satisfaction for this new insult.
The duties which are to be levied on our merchandise in the
ports of the regency, are determined by different treaties ; in 1825,
the Hey exacted front our merchants at Bona duties which were
much higher than what ought to have been required.
Following the example of some other great Powers towards
several states, France granted her protection in 1825 to the Roman
'flag The Drys of Algiers and of Tripoli, as well as the Bey of
Tunis, successively acknowledged that this measure was justiried
by our relations with the head of our church, and they eoleninly
engaged to respect the Roman flag equally with oar own. How.
ever, only 18 months after, the Dry of Algiers captured and condo-
cated two Boman vessels. The money produced by the sale of the
ships and their cargo, was shared between the Dey and the captors,
and our effort* only procured the liberty of the crews.
The violations of our treaties became still more frequent during
the years 1826 and 1/527, as the Hey's audacity increased from ire.
punity. Ile then positively refused to acknowledge our capitula-
tions with the Porte. It was also at the same period that the Al.
gerines began to require *four captains whom they wet at sea, to go
on bared their vessels, that they might verify their papers; thus
acting in direct opposition with We treaty of 1819. It even hap.
petted that, whilst the captain of the French vessel La Conception
was presenting his papers to an Algerine corsair, his own ship was
visited by sonic of the Turkish crew, who seized on several chests,
and took away money and other different articles whielt they found
to their liking.
But, independent of these numerous grounds of complaint. the
insolence and duplicity of the Hey, in the affair of the Algerice
Jerre, Baeri and Itteenach. left nu other means to his Ma-
jesty, but that of declaring war against the Regency. Sundry
articles had been furnished under the consulate and the em.
like, by Maus. Baeri and Bunted), so that they bad become .
meditate' of the Treasury for a sum which bad too been
paid tit the restoration. An arrangement took place between Ise
liing'"-Commissionent and the proxy of the interested party.
on the 28th of tletober,;lBl9e and war approved of by the Hey of
Algiers. It definitively heed the debt at 7.000,000 francs, to tie
paid by twelfths. from the Ist of March 1820. But it was also
expressly stipulated (Article 4.) that the French subjects who should
themselves have any claims to make against Baeri and &length
might oppose the paymenteand that a stun equal to the amount of .
their reclamation should be kept in reserve WI the French tribunals
should have decided ea their respective right".
Conformably to this condition, the French subjects were invited
to produce their claims. and as the cuts' of their demands amounted
to about 2,500,000' francs, the Royal Treasury paid Baal and
Buntach • 4,500,000 francs, whirls still minsiaed of the whole
amount of the debt, and deposited the feat.* the Colas* des Depots
of Cetteignutions.
