Yesterday, after the STAII was at Press, we re-
ceived the Paris Journals of the 4th, from which we
gave extracts in. a large portion of our impression.
Their leading contents are given in the preceding
columns.

List night a Mail arrived from Hamburgh, and
brought a copy of the formal act of the King of
SWEDEN and NORWAY, discharging the inhabitants of
the late Swedish Pomerania and the Isle of Rugen
from their oaths of allegiance, in consequence of the
cession of those countries to Prussia. The Ding of
PRUSSIA, at the same time, issues letters patent, as-
suming the sovereignty of these new dominions.

Acccrditig to the late arrangements at Vienna, it
bad been agreed that the Duchy of Lauenberg was
to be ceded to Denmark by the Government of Ha-
nover. The latter, however, has thought proper to
dispose of it back to Hanover, for a consideration in
money. To this circumstance is attributed the late
fluctuation in the exchange at Hamburgh.
The anniversary of the battle of Leipsic was eek-
brated with bonfires and other demonstrations of joy
through many districts in Germany. The Grand
Duke Qf MECKLENBURG-STRELITZ, in an edict, dated
the 20th September, states, that " fires of rejoicing
on appropriate eminences are conformable to old
German manners, and appear to ns (as well as illu-
minations in the towns) to be peculiarly calculated
for the celebratiOn of the day in which light and
splendour arose again over Germany ;" and orders
the 18th of October to be observed, in every 'future
year, as a general and solemn festival, on which no
trade or business shall be followed.

The Grand Duke of Hasa has also published an
Edict, but of a very different complexion. It states
that, en the 18th and 19th of October, the Anniver-
sary of the Battle of Leipsic was celebrated in many
places by expensive fires, by public music, and by
noises in the streets of the towns and villages, and it
prohibits in the severest manner all such practice in
future, and declares that go the trespassers against this
prohibition shall be immediately brought to due pu
nishment, and that the different authorities shall be
answerable for the most accurate execution of this
lEe.ict."—What would honest Join Bull think, were
h. to be prohibited from celebrating the sth of No-
vember, though the event is now so long past, that
may know not for what they are rejoicing till they
ask their more bookish neighbours. We may cer-
tain)), question the policy which, on such an occasion,
could induce a Prince, who owes his own emancipa-
tion to that event, to place his own sentiments (what-
ever they may be) In opposition to the warmest
-wishes of the whole of his subjects.

Letters have been received from Cadiz, Ma-1
&id. and Bilboa, to the lUth, 22J, and 27th ultimo.
The fever of a contagious kind, which it was said
had re-appeared at Cadiz, is not noticed in any of
them. I'he expedition preparing from the Bay of
Cadiz was in unceasing, but slow regress.
The CIiALLP.NGIER sloop of lour. tinder orders for
India, is arrived at Portsmouth. She was dispatched
last night at the General Pozoffice, with packet
mails for Madras and Bengal, and will sail as soon
as the wind becomes favourable.
The small Dutch Island of St. Martin, in the West
:Indies, is to have the establishment of a British Ge-
neral Officer and Staff in future; and Major-General
DouoLas has been ordered to assume the command
at that station.
No further back than the 17th of October, a fresh
persecution of the Protestants broke out at Nismes:
seven of its most respectable inhabitants were on that
day assassinated. TRISTALLAN, the leader of %hi:
Catholic band, has since been taken into custody by
the military force. This man bad already been seized
for similar outrages, but was set at liberty in conse-
quence of threatening to discover kis employers.
The American Papers continue filled with distres-
sing accounts of the effects of the late equinoctial
gales experienced on the American coasts. At Bos-
ton not a house but what had been more or less da-
maged, and at all the principal ports the damage
dune had been most extensive.
