HANOVER, Auous: 25.

Confotmably to the principles contained in the fourteenth Article
of the Act of the German Confederation, and after the consider-,
ation of the wishes and twoposals of the Duke of Aremburg, final
arrangements have been made respecting the Bailliagt of Stephen,
and the rights which the Ducal House of Aremburg is to exercise
in that Lordship. Thee arrangements have been made by means
of a Royal Crdonnance, dated Carlton House, May 9,15'x6, This
territory is to be tailed the Duchy of Aremburg-Meppen.
His Highness Prince Metternich arrived here the day before
Yesterday.

We have received French Papers to the 4th inst. and
the Etoile of Monday. The latter contains inteiiigence
from Madrid to the 24th ult.from which it appears that
the tranquillity of that capital is in a very precarious
state. 0.1 :he 23d three executions took place. Scarcely
had the unfortunate culprits breathed their last, when,
we are told, "a panic of which the cause is still un-
known, seized upon the spectators, and even upon the
troops assembled to maintain order. Swords were drawn,
bayonets crossed, and a patrol of cavalry of the Guard
being arres:ed in its progress by a picket of Gendar-
merie; a battle between the soldiers themselves was very
nearly ensuing. It does not appear, however, that any
fata! accident resulted from this scene of most extraor-
dinary confusion, similar to many which occurred
last year.'l

Tne other intelligence in these Papers is of little in-
terest. An article from Mentz, informs us that ince
METTERNICH had gone to spend some time in that city ;
but no political motive was attached to his visit. Indeed
his only reason for quitting Johannisberg for a time
might be to prove to the world that it was not the seat
of a Congress.

Maltese Papers to a recent date have been received
En addition to some extracts in another place, we sub.
join the following:

MA LTA, ham 14.

The resolution of our Board to place men of war
on the same footing as merchant vessels, with regard
to quarantine, has been of much service, and this re-
solution is most strictly adhered to. His Majesty's ship
Zebra, which arrived here lately from Smyrna after a
passage of thirty-one days, notwithstanding that she
had no communication during her voyage, and that tire
mist perfect health was enjoyed by all on board, was
ordered to perform thirty days' quarantine: in fact,
our Board has resolved to enforce, on all occasions,
the most rigid system of quarantine.
It is seldom that we have had occasion to publish
intelligence so truly interesting as the above : and ano-
ther source of domestic congratulation may be fuund
in the perusal of the following letter from the Right
119 n. Earl Bathurst, one of his Majesty's Principal Se-
cretaries of State, to his Excellency the Governor,l
which must be most gratifying to the Maltese popula-
tion from the tzpression of Royal apprdbation which it
conveys, and scarcely less so, as another instance of
their Governor's solicitude to promote their welfare:
" Downing-street, London, April t 9, 1526.

" Mr Loan—l have the honour to acquaint your Excellency,
that with a view of holding out the means of employment to a por.
tion of the male population of Malta, orders have been given to the
officers commanding his Majesty's Ships ant vessels in the Mediter-
ranean, to avail, themselves of any opportunity which may offer for
receiving such men, natives of Malta, as may be willing to enter the
naval service; and similar orders are given to the officers com-
manding regiments stationed at Malta and Gibraltar to enlist
Maltese recruits in the proportion of five men to every hundred
British soldiers.

" In communicating this arrangement to your Excellency, I de-
sire to express my hope that it will be viewed by his Majesty's
Maltese subjects as a gratifying mark of the sense which his .1a
jetty Is pleascd to entertain of their loyal and orderly conduct.

" I hive the honour to be, my I.oryl,
" Your Excellency's most obedient humble servant,
(Signed) " BATLIURST."

New York Papers to the 9th ult. Baltimore to the
4th, and Philadelphia to the Bth, have been received.
Their contents are not of much interest, in a pol.fcal
point of view ; but we have selected from them, in our
preceding columns, a few miscellaneous extracts.
These papers announce the death of another distin•
'guished revolutionary Patriot and Statesman, Colonel
ISAAC SHELAY, who was the first Governor of Ken-
, tucky, and was called a second time to that office. He
acted a conspicuous part in the battle of King's Moult.
tain during the American Revolution, as well as in the
battle on the Thames, in Upper Canada, in the last war,
and whilst he was Governor of Kentucky: The atten-
tion of the Americans is turned to the cultivation and
manufacture of silk, for which means are to be adopted
'in the United States.

FROM THE MERCANTILE ADVERTISER OF AUGUST 7.

We have conversed with Mr. Ifferson, passenger in
the schooner Ceres, from Maracaibo, which place he
left on the 4.h of July. The Government of Maracaibo
was strongly opposed to the movements of Gen. Paez,
and had declared in favour of the Government and
Constitution, in which sentiment Admiral Padilla'had
concurred. Col. Avidini, replaced from the command
of La Guayt a by Paez, had arrived at Maracaibo, from
Venezuela, on express to Bogota. The Government to
the leeward of Maracaibo I ad also declared fur Bolivar.

Files of Alexiran Papers have been received to the
2d Joly, but they du nut contain any news of importance.
