We invite attention to an article in the Times this
morning, on the subject of some Spanish refugees—
about three hundred in number—just landed in this coun-
try from Portugal. It exhibits in great, detail—and with
much humanity and considerateness of feeling—the desti-
tute and perishing condition of these friendless men. After
a detention of upwards of twelve months in the unwhole-
some prison-ships of the tyrant MIGUEL, they were
banished—as they were incarcerated—en masse, without
the smallest relief •to afford them even the subsistence
of an hour. They have wandered from the coast to Lon-
don, suffering the severest privations, and are now sleep-
ing every night—and it is to be feared, many of them
dying—in the open streets. There is no fund, from which
the means of providing for them can be taken, though
so much was subscribed last year, its application having
specific directions : in the meantime, the hapless victims
of tyranny and persecution, are succumbing nightly in
this vast metropolis, for the want of raiment and food
and shelter. We hope the generous appeal of our con-
temporary will not be lost on an always benevolent
public, and that the task of mercy will be undelayed.

This morning we received German Papers to the
instant. They relate chiefly to local matters. A sub-
joined article, from Mayence, will be perused with in-
terest by the mercantile classes, as a blessing to the
countries on the Rhine. In the Nuremberg Correspon-
dent, of the 22d instant, there is an article from Saxony
dated the 16th, by which we are informed that the Duke
of SAXE MEININGEN, before he set out on his travels,
made every arrangement for a new Constitution, to be
discussed with the Estates. The Deputies have ex-
pressed their opinions very freely on some points ; and,
from the well known sentiments of the DuKE and his
Councillors, it may be expected that this, the youngest
of all the German Constitutions, will perhaps be the
most liberal. In these papers there is not the slightest
allusion to the proceedings of General DIESITSCH ; but
in the article' front the Allgemeine Zeitung, the reader
cannot fail to observe how the Principalities, once tribu-
tary to Turkey, now bow down before the all-powerful
EMPEROR of RUSSIA.
FRONTIERS OF MOLDAVIA, Seer. 6.
The President of Seltachin left Jassy again on the 26th ultimo,
to return to Bucharest. At Boltaschan he bad an interview with
Gen. Woronsoff. DI. Korey, who had protested against some of
the ordinances of the President, so highly offended hiss, that be
was obliged to resolve to go into banishment in Bessarabia.
The four Moldavian Boyards who were called to Bucharest, to
the Commission assembled for deliberating on the affairs of the
province, have acquired strong claims to the gratitude of their
countrymen, by addressing a petition to the Emperor Nicholas, re-
questing that Moldavia may in future be permitted to export its
cattle to foreign countries, as soon as the wants of the Porte are
supplied. This permission would have the most beneficial come
quences for the province ; and his Maje.ty is said to have already
given the assurance that, in the negociadons of the affairs of t
he
ebe
principality, attention should be paid to it. It is, however, to
regretted that the Wallachlan Boyards did not take similar steps,
to obtain the same favour fur their province. The latter were
constantly engaged in determining the revenues of the future Hos.
podar, which they endeavoured to reduce as much as possible;
and to secure to themselves a portion of the lucrative offices.--
Prince Stourdza, late Hospodar of Moldavia, continues to re-
side on his estates in Bessarabia, and enjoys the favour of the Em-
peror Nicholas .wh Prince Gregory Ghika, late Ho.podar of
of Wallachia, lives in a kind of exile at Kimpina. The plague, of
which there had been no signs at Jassy for 21 days, suddenly ap-
peared again on the 30th August in the house of the banker twos.

The plan of arrangement founded on the freedom of navigation,
which has been proposed by Prussia and Holland, is generally ap-
proved by all competent judges. The shipping duty in Holland
will be 131 cents (the 100th part of a Dutch Aorta) per cwt. by one
mode of conveyance; and 9 cents by another. There is to be a
higher transit duty,—first for tea, namely, for Bohea and Congos
1 A. 486 cents; for all other sorts 26.30 cents per cwt. and 2ndly
for salt—viz. raw 90 cents; and refined salt 7 fi. 20 cents per cwt.
Holland, therefore, reserves an exclusive right in its trade in salt
alone ; which is, however, of very little importance to Ger-
many, since the working of the very productive salt mines at
Wimpfen. On corn, flour, iron, pulse, groats, and several
other articles of produce, the duty is to be 31 cents by land,
and ai by water. On articles of inferior value respectively
1 cent and 1; and lastly, for market provisions 3-sth cent. If
France and Baden do not object to.the scheme, on account of the
transit trade from Havre, and it is carried with effect, the corn.
tries on the Rhine may expect the most beneficial effects from it.
MUNICH, Sate. 19.
According to an accurate census, the population of the kingdom
amounted, in the year 1819, to 3,697,404 ; in 1825, to 5,982,537 ;
in 1828, to 4,075,197 ; exhibiting an increase of 377,193

We learn with sincere satisfaction, that the contribu-
tions undertaken to facilitate the re-opening of Covent
Garden Theatre, are augmenting daily ; and it is now an-
ticipated that the season will commence even with eclat.
This is as it should be. It would have been, indeed, a
reflection on our opulent aristocracy, and a proof un-
