German Papers have arrived, but there is no
striking novelty or importance in the facts which
they communicate; For many days it has been con-
jectured, that if Austria had not wholly laid aside,
she had at least suspended, her plans of attack upon
the national independence of Naples, Baron Fnunotir
having received orders to distribute his infantry re-
giments in quarters within the frontier of the Aus-
trian territory•. Letters were said to have been writ-
ten by the king of NAPLES to the Emperor FRANCIS,
deprecating his interference in the domestic affairs of
the SJuth of Italy ; but those who wished to defeat
the purpose of his Neapolitan Majesty's remonstrance,
on behalf of himself and his subjects, asserted that
these letters had been forged.

'llle follmiing article appears in the German Papers.
Vieux., OCT. 7.—The Austrian Observer of yesterday, after
giving an account of an article in the Times respecting the
courier Brous, detained on account of some forged Bank-notes,
nd hiving also given Lord Castlereagh's explanation of the
ff.ti r, adds in a note: The Editors of the Austrian Observer
re authorised by the Enibauy of the Kisc of GREAT BRITAITY
this Court to declare, that the article in the Times, above al-
lud.:l at, is nothing but a scandalous tissue of falsehood and

Extract of a Letter from Baranquilla, of July 18:

" The head-quarters of the ludependent Army was at Tur-
f•vceo, and the Spaniards were reduced to the walls of Cartha--
.la and St. Martha.. Commodore Brion has taken the whole
; the Spanish flotilla in the River Magdalena, amounting to
twcuty-seven gun-boats, most of them carrying from twelve to
t :.hteen twenty-four-poanders, together with an immense park of
r..ss artillery howitzers, mortars, &c. also a fine battering train,
tumplete; he has been joined by the army of Antioquia, and
`. ;7.00 of the Army of the North ; and 2,000 more were on their
*.arch, under the President Bolivar, as well as 1,000 Regulars
!rum Antioquia, so that Brion calculated on having 4,000 men,
1 elides 5,000 blifitia. All the I'rovinces rase in arms, on his
entering, to a man; and the Army under General Urdaneta
is operating on St. Martha, Rio de la Hadar, and blarsaito."

Extract of I letter from Chili, dated gantiago.di
Chili, June, 1820:—V Patriot bayonets will, etc
long, irrevocably fix the destiny of this lasi Penin-
sula in Peru. Six thousand troops, headed by Ge-
neral San Martin, will sail in a very few days; and,
except in the -immediate neighbourhood of Lima,
will meet with no Spanish force capable of opposing
the slightest resistance. All there is ripe for a revo-
lution; and the explosion will inevitably take place
the very moment a rallying point is offered to the
innumerable Patriots who have solicited the aid of
this army, and for whom 10,000 stand of arms are
carried in the fleet, and Officers to discipline and
command them. The Spaniards have, in all Peru,
from 12,000 to 18,000 troops, but scattered over that
immense country, and for the greater part separated
from the rest by a distance of many hundred leagues,
and roads and chains of mountains almost impassable.
A' force of from 3,000 to 5,000 men, is also about to
march from Cordova, via Tucuman, Salta, and
Jujuy, in order to attack Upper Peru (Potosi, Co-
chabamba, La Paz, &c.) The Spaniards are in a
most critical situation, ready to split amongst them-
selves were they not prevented by the fear of the
Patriots, and an immense Black population, eager to
avail itself of aay opportunity of shaking off its
chains. A system of espionage, both public and
private, has been established, which has cast a ge-
neral gloom over all society, and almost destroyed
all intercourse and confidence between man and
man. Many of.the most respectable Creole inha-
bitants are under confinement ; the Viceroy has found
it necessary to have recourse to the most violent ex;
tortions, in order to gratify the increased avarice of
his satellites, who, foreseeing that their harvest is al-
most at an end, are labouring to make a provision
for the storms about to male, and endeavour by
largesses to secure the fidelity of the few natives
who still adhere tothe cause of Spain. Commerce
is at a stand still, since no Spanish flag is seen in
these seas, and all intercdurse with the mother coun-
try at an end. The enemies to South American in-
dependence have, doubtless, triumphed not a little
on viewing the •unfortunate scenes which have of
late been acted at Buenos Ayres. Here all is tran-
quil : and in spite of the bad example almost inva-
riably set by Spanish rulers, whose policy never went
further than to meet the necessity of the moment,
and attain their object by any means whatever, the
Chili Government is fully aware of, and acts on the
principle that vac' faith is the only basis of national
prosperity ; and the people have wholly laid aside
the jealousy of foreigners and foreign improvement,
which, although in the- heart of Europe, has kept
Spain so many centuries behind its neighbours.
With regard to commerce, what invariably happens
whenever a new field is offered to British speculation
has occurred here: the market was in the first place
glutted, and many lost money; consequently all
were disheartened, and sent nothing more; now,
really all those goods have been consumed, and many
articles are very much in request, and enormously
dear. The wine drinkers are quite disconsolate, com-
pelled to make use of that of the country, which is
very indifferent, since no other is to be procured.
The Prueba, Spanish frigate, late consort of the St.
Elmo, 74, which has doubtless foundered at sea, has
availed itself of the opportunity of running from
Lima to Guayaquil with a convoy and reinforcement
for that garrison, whilst the fleet remained at Val-
paraiso preparing for the expedition. It is rather
singular that even the failure of the rocket attack'
on the shipping at Callao, and the late disturbances
at Buenos Ayres, }lave produced an effect beyond
measure favourable to the object of the expedition,
since it-has lulled the Viceroy of Peru into an opinion
of conscious security, such as to prevent his taking
those vigorous measures of defence which he other-
wise most undoubtedly would ; and indeed he has
of late disbanded two corps (a species of permanent
militia) at Lima."

Yesterday forenoon, the Duke DEcAzes arrived at
his house in Portland-place, and proceeded to the
Foreign Office, and after paying several visits, re-
turned in the afternoon to his seat at Harrow.
Yesterday the Earl and Countess of DERBY enter-
tained the Earl and Countess FonTEEtuE' Earl and
Countess Of DARNLEY, Lord and Lady KING, Mr.
CREEVhY, M.P. Mr. G. H. BENNETT, M.P. and a
select party of distinguished personages, with a din-
ner, at their house in Grosvenor-square.

The German Papers which have arrived notice the
extraordinary strictness that is observed by the Aus-
triin Government respecting the passage of travellers
to and from Italy. It would seem that the Austrian
Cabinet are apprehensive of some secret conspiracy
against their power in Italy, for they not only endea-
vour as much as possible to interrupt the freedom of
communication, bushave denounced very severe pe-
nalties within their Italian dominions against all per-
sons who may be connected with the political asso-
ciation of the Carbonari. A Neapolitan Officer, who
had travelled into Germany for the avowed purpose
of observing the mode of military organization there
practised, had arrived at Stutgard, but no sooner
was his arrival known to the Government, than he
was ordered to depart.
In addition to the reward of £lOO offered for the
apprehension of Fletcher, alias Franklin, by Mr.
PEARSON, on behalf of the Queen's Plate Commit-

tee, a reward of £2OO is offered by Government.—
Mr. HAMON, the principal colleague of Mr. PEAR-
SON, applies daily at Bow-street, to learn if any in-
telligence has been received from the Continent re-
specting Fletcher. It is supposed, from. the circum-
stance of no communication having been received
from Vickery or Mr. PEA nsort, that they have gained
some knowledge of the route taken by Fletcher.
Covqr-Ga Rolm—Last night a young Lady ap-
peared an the character of Mrs. Haller, in The
Stranger. Hei• person has not that matronly appear-
ance which the character seems to require ; her voice,
however, is deep, with good modulation. She seems
to understand the character much better than she was
capable of executing it. Allowance ought, however,
to be made for a first appearance before a Metropoli-
tan audience. Mr. C. KEMBLE played the Stranger,
' for the first time, with much success. After the play,
a new Farce, called A Race far a Wife, was per-
formed. It is diverting, and made au audience dis-
posed to good humour laugh heartily, and was as
heartily applauded.

Thursday evening, pursuant to advertisemeut, a
considerable number of persons, acting as law clerks,
met in the Apollo Assembly Rooms, Southampton-
buildings, Chancery-lane, to consider an Address to
the QUEEN. The room was filled before eight o'clock,
at which time the Chairman and Committee com-
menced the business of the evening. Several speeches
were made. A. series of Resolutions were then put
and agreed to, as was also an Address to her MA-
JESTY, and a Deputation was appointed to carry the
pprposes of the Meeting into effect.
A poor fellow, who for some time past has been
employed in the neighbourhood of High-street, Saint
Giles's, carrying a board with a placard stuck upon
it, inscribed " BEWARE OF MOCK AUCTIONS!" was
the other day seized with his board, and carried to
durance vile, in consequence of standing opposite the
door of an auction room in the abote street. He was
taken to Marlborough-street, with a view to extract
from him who his employer was; but he would not
tell, and all that could be forced from him to every
question was, "Non mi ticordo." What's your name?
—Non mi ricordo. Who is your employer ?—Non
mi ricordo. There being no evidence against him of
a breach of the peace; lie was discharged.
A novel charge was brought to St. Giles's watch-
house on Wednesday night, in the person of a most
respectable linen-draper's wife, habited as a spruce
male dandy, with his cane ! The Lady, it seems,
took a whim, which was nothing new, of seeking the
company of her own sex in male attire ; and having
made advances towards one of the loose order in
Long-acre, who, after some conversation, attacked
her dandy gallant with vollies of abuse, and others
of the frail'sisterhood joining in the attack, the watch-
man took both to the watch-house. The charge did
not come before the Magistrate, as the husband ap-
peared, and stated his wife to be subject to fits of
mental derangement !
On Wednesday evening, JOSEPH WILFRED Pao-
miss, Esq. the late Sheriff, with Mr. THOS. WAKELEY,
of Argyll-street, and two other Gentlemen, were
standing conversing at the corner of Fleet Market, ;
opposite New Bridge-street, when a female of re-
spectable deportment modestly requested one of the
Gentlemen to permit her to stand behind him, for the
purpose of avoiding a Gentleman whom she did not
wish to meet. Her request was instantly complied
with ; almost immediately a young man passed, and
the female thanking the Gentleman for his kindness,
ran up to the young man, and having linked her arm
in his, they walked off together. The singularity of
the circumstance excited the suspicion of Mr. PAR=
KINS and Mr. WAKELEY, who requested their friend
to ascertain whether he had been robbed, when, on
searching, to his surprise be found the modest appli-
cant had picked his pocket of a silk handkerchief.
Yesterday morning, about three o'clock, an alarm-
ing fire broke out in the house of Mr. DODSWORTH,
coal and provision-merchant, of Brook-street, Rat-
cliffe. Mr. DODSWORTH, the servants, and three
children, got out at a back window, and crawled in a
state of nudity along the roofs of some back premises
into an adjoining lane; Mrs. D§DSWORTH, who was
put to bed only a few days, was much lacerated
while attempting to escape through a sky-light, with
her infant in her arms. The house, with all the fur-
niture and stock in trade, was in a short time con-
sumed. The flames communicated to a shed in the
rear, which was alsodestroyed, with a valuable horse
arid dog.
A numerous and alarming assemblage of armed
men having, on the night of the 28th of September
last, appeared at Georgestown, in the County of
Waterford, and committed outrages of various de-
scriptions, such as firing a number of shots, particu-
larly at a man of Mr. BARRON'S, and making pri-
soners of Mr. BARRON and five of his men, and de-
taining them in custody the, whole of the night,
during which time some hundreds of armed men
were employed in removing cattle, corn, &c. off the
premises, the High Sheriff, in compliance with a
Requisition for that purpose, convened a County
Meeting, to be held at Dungarvon, on the 16th inst
to take into consideration the most effectual means
for preventing a recurrence of similar outrages.
We find, from some of the Irish Papers which were
received yesterday, that the people in some party
of Ireland are beginning to indicate a spirit of in'su-.
bordination. It would appear," says the Editor of
Carrick's Morning Post, " by the following article,
copied from some of the Provincial Papers, that the
high rents, and low prices of produce, are begin-
ning to produce their wonted results in this country ;
namely, turbulence and tumultuous resistance to law
and authority, in the lower orders of the farmers and
peasantry." Then follows a Requisition to the High
Sheriff of the County of Waterford, whb calls a Meet-
ing of the Gentry of the County, 'to devise the most
earectual means of preventing a repetition of out-
rages upon the persons and property of the inhabi-
unts ; and an allusion to the disturbed state of the
County of Carlow.
