WESTPHALIA, AUGUST 2s.

The fate of so many and considerable masses of
German population and territories which have been
restored to freedom by the sword of the Allies, with-
ourreceiving their former stability by an immediate
annexation to greater States, will not sur:ly be post-
, poned to the termination of the Congress, but taken
into consideration at its very opening. So much of
A.l establishments has been irrevocably destroyed by
time, that nothing retrains, in manrcases, but un-
availing recollections. In these circumstances, the
wishes and prejudices entertained by individuals and:
separate districts must not be allowed to weigh against
the general good ; the resignation to a Ripe' tor whole,
so despicable when commanded by oppression, lx-
comes graceful anJ noble when dictated by the spirit
of freedom. The inclinations of countries to tie ho.
noured must not be childish and unreasonable, which
they would certainly be in losing sight of the circuen-
stances in which we are placed. It is not now what
a St4te once was, and still wishes to be, but we must
inquire into its present state, when we wish to decide
of its merits, the inclination of hearts, the co-opera-
tion of minds, and she annexation of territories.
Those people are certainly -most to be envied,
whose lot has been long decided and can no longer
be questioned, who feel themselves united to that
which they alone wish to be.. This elevating feeling
belongs in a particular manner to the Prussians, who
have not only preserved their high reputation, but by 1
their victorious weapons rescued their brethren who
were torn frobs them, but who never ceased to re-
semble them in sentiments and patriotic energy.-.—'
The nook flame of patriotism never blazed out more
gloriously than here; noi where was ever more con-
spicuous than here the sprit of better times and the
tsoul of freedom which tires a nation to heroic deed;.
The liberality which since the time of Fredrick the
`Great has under all the circumstances constituted the
character of thus bold and magnanimous State, hu-
manity seems to watch with peculiar care, beemuts
more and more the general character, the indispen-
bible requisite. of the age we live in'. History does
not exhibit a purer love, a more generous resignation
-than that which has lately been displayed by the 1
Prussians for their country and their King, in whose:
firm determination the good and the welfare of his
people were alone at heart. What may we not pro-
mise ourselves from such a union of the most noble
qualities, which people and ruler at present display in
their cordial and effective co-operation ?
ELBEREELD, AUGUST 20.

The following proclamation has been published
'here:
" It has come to the knowledge of the high Go-
vernment that here and there a number of signs bear
French inscriptions on them. This is quite uns.lita-
' ble to the changes which have taken plate, and
im-
proper as these signs are unintelligible to the gre itest
part of the public. His Excellency the General Go-
.vernor by bis rescript of the 17th, has ordered there
inscriptions to be changed. The intention of this is,
that every thing foreign and injurious to the German
national spirit, and which recalls the memory of their
former subjection, should be removed. Every indi-
vidual must, therefore, ,lend a hand to remove fir
alter, in case it be requisite, such signs, as nothing ut
ibe kindis to he seen in other countries, and French-
inert must either learn our language or procure an ex-
planation of similar inscriptions, as we do when we
travel inlrance. I.request, tnerefore, the different
4agistratel to sec that all signs hung out receive Ger-
man instead of French inscriptions, and that none be
allowed in both' langulges: • •

Paris Papers, a day later thin those received yea-

the French Papers stile the great Wzia.rscwri:;, has
taken the chateau and domain of Morfontaine, in
which his Excellency means to give some splendid
fetes.

The POPS has issued a most violent Decree against
Freemasons and all secret Societies. His alarm is
certainly not warranted by the misting circumstances
of Europe.

All is tranquil in Switzerland, the refractory Can-
tons having submitted.
Ne•thing is said in the French Papers on the subject
of Naples, but in the German Papers we have a
curious'article on that head. Waal., it seems, lately
seat out an Officer wearing the %Thite Cockade, as a
mark of attachment to the King4of-Sieux, who is a
Bourbon Prince: The Otficer•was received with great
demonstrations Of joy by the Neapolitan troops.-.
This looks as if MURAT was about to act with a
becoming deference to public opihion, and to retire
to a private station if the voice Of the people is dui,
dedly against him.

The Reports of the Corn Committee Which were
finished too late to be acted upon-during last Sessioos
bAve since been printed. They deserve the most
serious consideration of every class of the community.
Their tendency seems to be to prove that if the
farmer sells at less than 80s. per quarter, he swill:be
ruined. In other words the labourer, maqufacturer,
and whole population of England, must pay owl-
third more for their bread than .31 be necessary, tut.

In fact, the high prices arose from BONAPLILTVS

speculation in farming .and high rents. Speculation

clergymen, stock-jobbers, generals and admirals. be.
came agriculturalists, and the expenses were increased
by want of skill.

It is natural that the Landholders should wish to
continue in the receipt of high rents. Instead of being
satisfied with the increase of their property, occasioned
by the Continental system, they wish still to enjoy its
Advantages—tor to them it producad many. Bui the
rest of Europe.heing freed from that system, is Britain

to continue subject to its curse ? No ! No f No ! Ltt
the Farming speculators go to the Gazette like other
speculators. The evil will thus so,,n work itself out,
and lands, as they ought to do, will come to their
proper value.

The advocates for high prices urge many seasons
for propagating their doctrines.—One of these is,
that, if importation be allowed, less wheat will be
grow,,n in England, and then what is to become
of us in a scarce year 1 But, on th• other hand,
if we cease to import, the countries bordering on
,he Baltic will cease to raise corn for exportation :
should we then have short crops for a year or two,
where are we to get a supply I We must be abso-
lutely starved in such years, in addition to the new
tax imposed upon our industry by a regular high
price in all the years of plenty.

We repeat it again. If the recommendations of
the Cora Committee receive the force of law, Britain,
in Mat coth will continue to k the vktins of the Continentai
:piens, contrived by 1,01141041trl for one destrwaion.—
Are our Landholders mad ? or do they think that the
rest of the community,have Jost their reason ? Can
we believe that men a►ho wish to entail upon us the
I evils contrived by the Corsican bend, are sincere in
their professions of joY at his downfall ? England
abominates his system, and will have none of if !
