FROM THE FRENCH FRONTIERS, OCT. 9.

At the Head-quarters of the Russian and Prussian
corps in France, splendid preparations are teak ng
for the reception of their Majesties the Emperor of
Russia and the King of Prussia, who will be present
at the last review of their troops before their depar-
ture from the French territory. The news that the
speedy evacuation of France is decided upon, has
diffused universal joy. It is supposed that the Rus-
sian troops will be embarked at Dunkirk and Ostend.
A report is in circulation that some of the contingents
will remain upon the frontiers till next spring, but
this report wants confirmation. •
They are now beginning in the French Army to
think of the organization of the Caclics, for the third
battalions of the different departmental Legions, and
of the fifth squadrons for the Regiments of Cavalry.
Several Officers who were not in actual service have
been selected for them.
PRIVATE LETTER.
" PARIS, OCTOBER 11

" M. de CILITEAUBRIAND is again upon the stage :
report says, that he got Lenormand, the bookseller,'
to write to him, and invite him to co-operate in a
periodical work to support Ultra-Royalist principles
to which the Noble Viscount had the great goodness'
to reply, that he would willingly do it. What con-
descension ! But this was only a little trick of the
Noble Viscount, for all had been previously arranged
for the publication of the Coxservateur. Fifty thou-
sand francs have been subscribed to support it; and
that it may be sheltered fiom the danger of being
attacked by the Tribunal csf Correctional Police, four
Peers, who consequently ore only amenable to the
Chamber of Peers, are to be the nominal authors ;
while, as they cannot write themselves the articles
they father, the pens of Messrs. Dussault, Feles, Col-
•net, Martainville, &c. are to be employed. The latter
are men of known talent, and worthy of coping, in
point of literary merit, with the authors of the Mi-
neral ; but the system they engage to support is so
antiquated and so ridiculous, that their attempts must
necessarily fail, for they strike at the root of Repre-
sentative Governments and civil liberty, which they
would replace by the feudal system, exclusive privi-
leges, ememption of the payment of taxes by the No •
bility and Clergy : now it requires no Ghost from
the dead to tell us, that such a system Cannot be
aylopted here!"

A Dutch Mail arrived this morning, with Papers
to the 14th instant, from which the following arc
extracts:

HAGUE, OCTOBER 13.

We learn from Brussels, that the Grand Duke Mi-
chael arrived there yeAerday, and proceeded to Aix.
la-Chapelle, where the Grand Duke Constantine was
expected on the 11th.
fo-day there was a grand review near Waasdorp,
/where, besides the Members of tke Royal Family, a
great concourse of people had collected from this
town and the neighbourhood; the fine weather greatly
contributed to attract visitors, who were all highly
dClighted with the correct manner in which the troops
performed their evolutions. Ve learn that the troops
in garrison at Brussels, as well as those in the camp
at Zie4t, were reviewed yesterday, and that the camp
will break up in a few days.

Baron Von Vrentz Berberich, Charge-d'Affaires of
his Highness the Prince of Tour and Taxis, has pre-
sented to the Diet a long Memorial respecting the
relations of the House of Tour and Taxis with the
Crown of Wurtemberg, and complaining that the
Government of Wurtemberg is by no means disposed
to restore to the house of Tour and Taxis, or to the
mediatised Estates of the Empire, the full enjoyment
of the tights and attributes which arc secured to
diem by the Act of Confederation.
The differences between the Houses of Lippe-
Scliaumberg and Lippe-Detmold have been brought
before the Diet, and referred to a Committee for

His Majesty the King has resolved to defray, from
his Ovate purse, the expenses of the making of the
Norwegian Crown, including the gold, jewels, pearls,
&c. as well as those of the sceptre, globe, sword, and
stairdard of the kingdom, and been pleased to order,
that the Regalia shall be deposit .I in the Cathedral
Cligcli at Dronthcim, under the care and responsi-
bility of the Magistrates.

The establishment of German emigrants on private
estates in hussi‘ ha* Larnmenced with good success.

• .- ,

!Upon an etsate belonging to Mr. Von Ko!r&lAchen,
thirty wersts from Moscow, eleven. \Vurtemberg fa-
milies have been settled this year, who have raised
good crops and thrive well.
The Minister of the Interior takes much pains to
spread this kind of settlements all over the Empire,
because this kind of colonisation is of permanent ad-
.vantage as well to the settlers u to the proprietors of
estates who have more laud then they are able to
cultivate.

Yesterday, after an interruption of six years, the
French Actors commenced their new series of repre-
sentations with an Operett:a..

By letters from Lisbon, of the 25th September, we
learn that the merchants there had been thrown into

great c

in consequence of the loss of five

vessels, richly laden, which in the course of the week
preceding had been captured by Insurgent corsairs.
The Vasco de Gama, of 74 guns, and the Tagus brig
of war, were making preparations which seemed to
indicate an intention of proceeding to sea, but so tar-
dily as to inspire but little hopes from their future
protection. The harbour of Oporto is also said to he
kept in a state of blockade by two cruizers, which
have already pillaged two ships, and burnt a third.
The vessels which arc acting thus hostilely against
the Portuguese commerce are all understood to be
commissioned by General AwriuAs.

MA.VeIIESTER, OCTOBER 14.

PRIVATE LEM:R.

The last division of the 54th Foot marched into
this town to-day, on their way for Chester.
The number of Spinners now out of 'employ, in
this town, and whose names have been noted down in
the black-book, is 310. The complaint against those
men is, that they put themselves forward during the
late turn-out, either by attending meeting., acting on
Committees, or otherwise taking an active part, in
attempting to procure a rise of wages. Many of
these have large families, and are, in comequence,
reduced to the gre.ttest sure of distress—.the mone,y
collected for their relief being expended. Most of,
the young hands %silo were turned off, and who were
unencumbered with families, have taken their de-
parture for America ; and there are still agents here
engaging labourers (under which name are included
the different descriptions of artisans).to go to the
United States ; but they give the preference to young
single hands, or such as are not burthened with
families.

Much dissatisfaction prevails among the coarse
Spinners, on account of the lowness of their wages—
their clear average earnings, in general, after the va-
rious deductions to which they are forced to submit,
not amounting to more than. from I Is. to I(is. per
week. Very erroneous statements have been put
forth, by interested individuals, as to the weekly ear-
nings of the Spinners. It is true, that some of them,
employed on fine work, will earn more than 30s. per
week ; but these are as nothing, compared with the
great body, whose earnings do not exceed what I
have stated. If, however, the situation of the Spin-
ners is considered hard, (as it undoubtedly is, when
vre take into account the extra number of hours which
they work, and the unhealthy nature of their toil),
what shall we say with regard to the poor Weavers,
who, after toiling at the loom for fifteen or siyteen
hours out of the twenty-four, cannot earn more than
from eight to twelve shillings per week !—and very
rarely indeed can they reach to the latter sum !-3I y
sole motive for bringing these statements so rept..t-
tedly before you is, that through your medium the
attention of the Kingdom generally, and of Govern-
ment in particulat, may be attracted to the wretched
state of the artisans employed in all the staple manu-
factures of the country, in order that, on the ensuing
meeting of Parliament, something may be done to
alleviate their sufferings, if it be possible ; and if it
be not, prompt steps should be taken to convince
them to that effect, which would tend to put an end
to the constant bickerings that prevail, and thereby
prevent a recurrence of those unhappy contentions
that have so often agitated the manufacturing districts.

.john Kcnjon and Wilkinson Simpson, for conspiring
to raise the prices of weaving at Burnley ; and /V*.
itoberhhaw, Lewis Brown, Raard I Inchon, Matthew
!kap, Nicholas Baldwin, and John Mercer, have been
committed to Lancaster Castle for three calendar
months each, for combining to raise their wages, as
cotton weavers.

A Clergyman in the County of Essex has lately
resigned two valuable livings into the hands of the
Diocesan, the Bishop of Lownow, alleging, that he
could rot conscientiously hold them any longer, dis-
senting, from many articles contained in the Liturgy
of the Church of England.
Last week, a woman, a passenger in the Maria,
PEEBLES, from Liverpool to Glasgow, was safely
delivered of a fine female child. The child is mined
MARIA PEEBLES ; but, as she was born at an Nut-
distant point from Scotland, England and Ireland, a
difficulty will occur to say to what country she be-
,
longs.

_

A letter from Aix-la-Chapelle says--.-." Though a
little indisposed, the Emperor ALEXANDER has not
been for a day prevented front attending to business.
lie last night honoured Mr. CLARKSON, the zealous
and indefatigable fiiend of the Abolition of the Stare
Trade, with an audience of upwards of an hour.
This honour was the more striking, as Mr. CLAMY-
soN, we understand, appears here without any com-
mission from the African Institution, or from any
other body of men whatever, and without any con-
nection with the English Government, but merely as
an individual using his personal efforts to promote a
cause to which the best part of his valuable life has
been devoted. Being personally known to the Em-
peror ALEXANDER, and having a full confidence in
his openly expresied zeal to secure the abolition, be
anticipated some advantage to the cause from a per-
sonal interview, and a kind of friendly communica-
tion; although he had no dada of the disposition
of the British Minister at Congress to exert his best
official endeavours to promote the object which he
has so much at heart. The present state of the Slave
Trade question is generally known. All the Powers
of Europe have already abolished it, except Spain'
and Portugal. The former has already abolished it
North of the Line, and has entered into a convention
to abolish it South of the Line, in May, 1820; the
latter has abolished it North of the Line, but has as
yet fixed no definitive period for its abolition South
of the Line. The object of the abolitionists, and that
which Mr. CLARKSON wished particularly to impress
upon the Emperor ALExAtforn, is to procure from
the latter Power a limitation of the trade in point of
time, similar to that agreed upon by the former. In
addition to the universal prohibition of the trade, they
'are anxious that, for its more complete prevention,
it should be declared piracy. These two objects
Mr. Ctteicsos: represented to A LEILA XDP.R, and we
are assured that the result of the interview was highly
gratifying to all the friends of humanity : his im-
perial Majesty having listened to the details with the
most sympathising interest, having fully entered into
the policy recommended, and promised his must cor-
dial and efficacious support."
