We received this morning Brussels Papers to the 21st.
They contain intelligence from Constantinople to the
15th ult. but it merely refers to the Treaty of Navigation
lately concluded between Sweden and the Potte, which
is spoken of as a base concession on the part of the
former, as she is pledged by it to pay a tax to the Tur-
kish Government, for every vessel under her fltg,
which is admitted into the Black Sea. It is much
more easy to assign, however than to prove, base-
ness in a transaction of this kind ; and if it can
be brought home at all to any party, it is not to
a weak State, like Sweden, but to the European
p.mers generally, for conniving at the levying of tribute
money upon their commerce. But we doubt, whether
the imposition of a duty on vessels proceeding horn the
Archipelago to the Black Sea, can be called with any
propriety an exaction on the part of the Turkish Govern-
men; as the latter must be at some expense to keep the
navigation free and secure ; and it is but reasonable that
those nations, which participate in its benefits, thralld
defray a portion of its costs. Should the demand
be exorbitant, it would then be the right, as well
as the duty of the latter, to oppose it; but to a
fair impost, we cannot see how any reasonable ob-
jection can be made. Whether the sum of 500 piastres
(about 12/. sterling), which every Swedish vessel has to
pay which proceeds with a cargo into the Black Sea,
be an exorbitant one or not, we must leave to more
competent judges to decide. If the vessel prbeeeds in

.
ballast, it pays only half that sum; and when it returns
with a cargo, provided it be destined for Constantinople,
it is free from all charges ; but if it is bound for any
post beyond the Dardanelles, it has to make another pay-
ment of 500 piastres for its Erman. It is stated that
the provisions of this Treaty have produced a powerful
sensation amongst the members of the Diplomatic Body
,at Constantinople, particularly as it sets up a precedent
against whet nations, which, like Denmark, Spain,
Naples, and Tuscany, desire to be admitted to the navi-
gation of the Black Sea, and which will now be obliged
to consent to what is termed, " this humiliating tributab"
It is then stated, that the Swedish Ambassador, after
having performed .4 this meritorious act," left the
Turkish Capital on an excursion to the ruins of Troy,
a hoping doubtless that the irritation will be allayed
during his absence." It would almost appear from the
♦ast importance, attached to this transaction, that the

European Diplomatists were at a loss for intatestingl
topics, to occupy their time and attention, and that they
felt much less interest in the progress of the negocia.l
tions, relative to the Greeks, than the subject has excited
here and in other Europa's: Capitals. The following is
an extract from the Brussels Papers:
" The Hague Gazette says,—We learn that Major General Van
den Bosch and M. Gulje,.Chief Inspector in the Department Of the
Indirect Tales and Excise In South Holland, have been intrusted
by his Majesty with missions to our Colonies In the West Indies:
the first, as we are assured, as Commissary General, the second to
regulate the taxes in those colonies. M. German', Councillor of
the Legationit Rome, is still at Brussels. Nothing bas transpired
respecting the dispatches and communications which he brought to
the Government."

We also received this morning Frankfort Papers to
the 17th, but they merely announce the death of his
Serene Highness Prince CNA AEU A LEXANDIR, of Tour
and Taxis. He had an apoplectic stroke on the 9th,
and expired on the 15th, in the 58th year of his age,
having been born on the 20th February, 1770&

The Aigenteine Zeitung, which likewise came to hand
this morning to the 16th, is as barren of political news
as the former. It would appear from the following,
article, that notwithstanding the prevalence of libe-
ral and truly Christian sentiments in Prussia on the
subject of religious doctrines and discipline, that an ex-
ception to the general rule occasionally occurs, But
as we are left in ignorance as to the real nature of the
dispute, we cannot of course decide whether the civil
authorities, or the Clergy. are to blame in the present
instance:

BERLIN, JULY 7.

We hear that in consequence of a Royal Cabinet Order, the
twelve Clergy who published the Letter against the Liturgy, are
to be publicly reprimanded for this proceeding before the Con-
sistory. As M. Scbleirmacber is mentioned as the author of the
Letter, and at all evenu as one of the subscribers to it, people
are extremely anxious to see how he win conduct himself on
this- occasion. We remember that on a former occasion of a
similar nature, vie. in the dispute with the Privy Counsellor
Schinatz about the Vision if firfide, be satisfied with the dexterity
peculiar to him the demand of the Government, and thereby
avoided the unpleasant consequences which the afair might have
bad for him. His admirers (and who is not among the number?)
hope that he will on this occasion also not lose sight of the ft ankneu
which every body is said to acknowledge in him.
Professor A. W. Von nchlegal concluded on the 4th July, his
course of lectures on the theory and the history of the ine arts. As
the time mud for thew lectures did not well anew a profound in-
vestigation of the subject, it would perhaps have been better not to
publish them as has been done by one of our Journals.

Jamaica Papers to the 29th May, have arrived at the
North and South American Coff'ee House. The Collector
of his Majesty's Customs at Kingston had received a dis-
patch from his Grace the Governor, apprising him, that
in consequence of information which his (*race had
derived from the Commander. of the Forces, that the
subsistence of the troops was not to be paid by the
Local Government beyond the Slst inst. that the Col-
lector and Comptroller were to be governed by the
British Act of Parliament, and recommence the collets•
tion of the double duties from the Ist day of June next,
unless, in the meantime, the Commissioners of Ac-
counts would re-assemble, and direct the Contractor to
supply the troops as heretofore.

ITRACT OF A PRIVATE LITTIER RECRIYILD IN Tai CITY,

PROM CORFU, DATED THE IST INSTANT.

“ General Church occupies the position of Dervania:'
Colocotroni and the other Greek Commanders are at
various positions near the Isthmus of Corinth, to pre.
vent the approach of lbraham Pacha. It is said that
Lord Cochrane has dispersed the Egyptian fleet, in
the Waters of Candia—the Greeks had 70 sail, and the
Egyptians 120 sail. Several letters had already an-
nounced some disturbances at Constantinople and
Smyrna. To-day it is reported again that several
Franks have fallen victims.”

ANCONA, JULY 4.—The steam-boat from the lonian
Islands arrived yesterday from Corfu, with dispatches
for Landon.

We have received the Paris Papers in due course.—
, With the exception of an article in the itioniteur, under
the head of Madrid, July 9, announcing an irruption
into the Portuguese territory, from the side of Spain,
by a band composed of Purtuguese rebels and Spa.
nish vagabonds—their contents are of little mome .
—Even this article announces no more than e
knew before, as the affair is the same as that me -
tioned in the last Lisbon Papers. It is to be regrets ,
however, that whilst the two Powers are engaged, wit
apparent earnestness, in trying to settle their differences,
any event should arise, through the negligence or weak-
ness of one of them, having a tendency, however re.
mote, to defeat their intentions. This is•only another
instance, however, of the bad grace and excessive re-
luctance with which the orders of the Spanish Govern-
ment, when they are of a healing character, are obeyed
by those whose duty it is to see them executed. It is also
another proof of the flagrant defects of the present
system of rule, but we cannot sympathise with the
Spanish Monarch, as the difficulties in which it involves
him are of his own chasing. The Express which arrived
this morning has brought the following quotations of
the Rentes on Saturday last :—French S per Cents.
30 cents. higher on Saturday.

New South Wales Papers which have been received
to the 7th of March, state that s 3 of the pirates men-
tioned by us some time since, were immediately to be
executed. The English Company's Officers, lately es-
tablished in New Zealand, have abandoned that island,
and arrived et Sydney. A great conflagration took
place near Irish ,Town by the filing of the bush, which
spread over a district of many miles. One of the Sydney
papers congratulates hs readers on the intelligence from
England of a probable accession of population—,, They
re glad to inform their readers 600 prisoners were in
Newgate awaiting their trial."
