PARIS, Aran. ts.
Among the Ladies presented to the King, yesterday
evening, was Mrs. /toward, the wife of Henry Howard',
Esq. and her two daughters. The Howards are, as are
the Montmorency', of England. The head of the
family; the Duke of Norfolk, is the first Duke of Eng-
land, Grand Marshal, and hereditary cup bearer. Mr.
Henry Howard is himself descended, in a direct line,
from the famous Howard, created Duke of Norfolk by
Richard 111. King of England.
The German Journals say they conclude, from a visit
recently made by M. de Rothschild, of Frankfort, to
Cassel, that a new loan is now in the course of negocia.
lion, for one of the first Powers in &slope. The prices
of the Funds are not given.
FROM THE WESER, Massa O.
A plan is in contemplation to form a commercial
harbour at Gerslendorf, on the east bank of the mouth
of the Weser, which is navigable by vessels of the
largest size, in order still more to facilitate the
communication between England and the north of
Germany. From that place a cartel might be made to
the Elbe, and this on the Hanoverian territory. It is
thought that Hanover would exchange this harbour
for Vegesach, with the city of Bremen, that the English
trade there might become still more extensive. In
Hanover all trade is crippled by the high import duties,
which give occasion to smuggling. Should Gerslendorf
become a Hanoverian port, it would be very injurious
to Bremen, where mercantile affairs go too much into
petty details, and where, in fact, none but a native
of the city may carry on trade; for Gerslendorf
would attract all speculators, Jews, Ste. who are not
tolerated in Bremen; tut it would ,he 'advantageous
to Hsmburgh, as the great mercantile transactions of
the North of Germany are naturally centered in that
principal point. It is strange, however, that Emden,
so advantageously situated, and which flourished under
the Prussian Government, does not thrive as a com-
mercial city, now that it is a part of the Hanoverian
territory. The exchange of Gerslendotf for Vegesach
would be very advantageous to Bremen.

HAMBURGH, Aran 12.
The Netherlands Government is raising recruits here
for the East Indies; but the sending of emigrants to
Braid from the Elbe seems to have wholly ceased, as
the Prussian Government zealously opposes these un-
justifiable proceedings.
An eatiaordinar,. sensation has been caused in this
city, where enormities are very rare, by the murder, in
the night of the 13th instant, of bl. A. D. Jansen, a
Hanoverian Canon, and Captain on half pay. The police
his offered a reward of 309 dollars for the discovery
of the murderer. This event is not to be compared with
the tragical fate of the Abbe Plank, in Vienna, as the
person murdered has drawn upon himself a bad suspi-
cion, which decorum will rather cover with a veil. He
was not robbed; the principal wound was under the
chin, and penetrated upwards into the skull. His hands
were much wounded,' in attempting to defend
himself,
On account of the increase of diplomatic business,
the number of our Syndics has been raised from four
to five, with the approbation of the citizens. Two of
these Gentlemen are absent—Dr. Gries, at Frankfort;
and Dr. Sceveking, on his way to Brazil.
Winter has returned, and the cold is at
