Notwithstanding what has been said to the con-
trary, from many quarters, the festival of the 18th
October, the anniversary of the Liberty of Germany,
has been kept up with great solemnity in our neigh-
bourhood, by a number of German students, who
came to Switzerland for the purpose.

FRANKFORT, NOVEMBER 5.
The Central Committee at Mentz, is or. the point
of commencing its operations. It is still very un-
certain what may be the issue of them. The inquiries
which have taken place, within these two months,
have shewn that the Association of the Black is inti-
mately connected with the " Union of Virtue," (Tti-,
genJbund) of 1813, which, at that time, enjoyed
the protection of the higher Authorities. It seems
that, in fact, the individuals who are now accused of
projecting a change in our political organization, are
the same who, in 1813 and 1814, sounded the alarm
against the despotism of Bonaparte, and of whom use',
was then wade to excite the People.
The Conferences at Vienna, it is presumed, will be '
of the greatest importance. The smaller States of
the Confederation, haying complained of non-ad-
mission to the Conferences at Carlsbad, have been in-
vited to send Members to Vienna. • M. Schmidt, of
Bremen, is spoken of for the Free Cities.
'The subjects to be discussed at Vienna are said to
- be the following:-
1. The Lateral application of the decisions of Carlsbad, pub-
lished by the Diet—their duration—the substitution of other less
rigorous measures in their room. 2. The definitive organization
of the Diet—its competence—the introduction of an executive
power into the feudal system—the authentic interpretation of the
Article of the Act of Confederation. 3. The revision of the
regulation for the military organization—decision on the fortresses
of the Confederation; as for Mentz, it would cost such large
sums to re-establish it, that the Confederation renounces it, rather
than incur the expenses. The first Conference will be on the
20th November. Right Ministers, viz. of Baden Cassel, Hano-
ver, Wurtemberg, Bavaria, Saxony, Austria, and Prussia, will
hive a deliberative voice; the Ministers of all the other Sovereigns
will have no vote, except when there is a division among the
eight first; in this case a Committee of four Members, chosen
from the eight, will decide in the last instance.

The Catholic Question will, we understand, come
on early in the ensuing Session—in the first week, if
possible. The Petition has been consigned to the
care of the Earl of DoNOUGIIMORE and Mr.GRATTAN,
agreeably to the Resolutions of a Catholic Meeting,
held at Dublin on Saturday last, given in another
part of our Paper. Another Meeting was held on
Monday last, of the proceedings at which we have,
by this morning's post, received a general outline,
which we subjoin. We are concerned to learn, that
it appears by certain Resolutions of the Magistrates
.and others, that parties of persons, calling themselves
Riblon-men, excite considerable alarm in the Counties
of Galway and Roscommon. In the County of Ros-
common, Mr. ST. GEORGE, brother of Sir RICHARD,
WAS assassinated on the 31st ult. within a few yards
of his brother's house, which he had just left.

•• ADJOURNED CATHOLIC MEETING.

" .'Monday Eveniog, Six o'Clock.

The Chair taken at four o'clock by Mr. OWEN
O'CONNOR.—Petitions from the Parishes postponed
till three o'clock to-morroW.—Mr. HAY named his
Committee of Investigation, consisting of Lords
Fnrscit and GORMANSTOWN, Sir E. BELLEW, Sir
T. Eimosn, Mr. MURPHY, &c. &e. Mr. O'CoNtizt.
arrived at half-past four; charged Mr. HAY with
writing a letter to Mr. CANNING, in March or April'
last, calling up the Resolutions of 1812, which
abused the PRINCE REGENT, and with causing it to
be published. The latter charge denied by Mr. Ha V,
but would not explain as to Mr. CANNING'S
Much discussion on the impropriety of Mr.
conduct.—Mr. O'Cosult. to put his charges into
writing, and to submit them to the Meeting tomor-
row. Mr. HAT stated in his letter, that the Resolu-
tions of 1813 were sent over by the Opposition, and
,muggled and passed at a Catholic Meeting.—
.csolutions passed were got up in London," &c.

Circular of the Cabinet of Berlin, given in cur
[ns this day, mad• be considered as a curious and
sting dOcumeut, in the present circumstances of

Europe. It consists throughout of a deliberate and
labourestapologf for the Resolutions adopted by the
Diet at Frankfort. It professes, indeed, to be com•
posed for the purpose of enabling' the Ministers of
Prussia, at foreign Courts to place those Resolutions
in the most favourable light—(" de les presenter dans
le jour lc plus favombk !") The whole composition
must, therefore, be read with a large allowance of
wariness and, jealousy as to the objects for which it
has been written. The basis of this justificktory Me-
moir is—" the legitimate terror which the'political
and moral state of Germany has long inspired into
the friends of social order and of the public tran-
quillity." The alleged causes and history of the tertar
thus excited, arc then given in circumstantial detail.
In Germany, like some other countries, the mass of
the people are declared to be sound loyal, although,
as it appears to a dispassionate looker-on, measures
have been suggested, which it would be difficult to,
defend, but by supposing that a great proportion of
the same people have conspired to overthrow the
Government.

A Flanders Mail, with Btussels Papers to the 9th
instant, arrived last night, from which we have
givep-extracts in another column.
This morning we received German Papers.

It appears by a statement in a Berlin Paper, that
the regular Prussian Army consists at present of the
following troops :

Guards
Infantry

- 17,908
- - - - 104,712
Cavalry
Artillery

157,570
The whole of the Landwehr consists of 438,537
men, in 280 battalions, and 276 squadrons.

The effect of the new German system is now
abundantly apparent in the complexion of such of
the Journals as have continued their publication.
They are filled with vollies of unmeaning verbiage,
levelled at Jacobins, would-be-Reformers, Revolu-
tionists, Anarchists, Leberales, &c.
From Vienna it is stated, in a private letter, that a
very active correspondence is kept up between the
Austrian Government and the principal German
Courts, which is understood to relate to the subjects
that are to be discussed in Congress. One great ob-
ject of apprehension, at the present period, to some
of the German Governments, is the Landwehr, which,
in 1813, was eagerly looked to by them as the means
of rescuing Germany from the yoke of BONAPA RTE.
But the ideas of statesmen, it is added, have, upon
this point, undergone a considerable change ; and
when certain promises are recollected, which are not
only not yet fulfilled, but which are now either evaded
or refused, it is natural for some of the Governments
of Germany to contemplate, with suspicion or terror,
a numerous body of the People with arms in their
hands. The dispatches received at Vienna from the.
Austrian Minister at Warsaw (relating doubtless to
the part taken by the Emperor of Rume respecting
the affairs of Germany), are stated in a Frankfort
article to have given rise to several Ministerial con-
ferences. A Courier was sent off to Berlin, and Esta-
fettes to several of the German Courts. The Minister
for Foreign Affairs in Bavaria, the Count de Rem-
BERG, is stated to have given in his resignation, which
has been accepted by the KING--a circumstance that
is considered indicative of the decline of Austrian in-
fluence in Bavaria, to which the Count de REcusErto
was entirely devoted.

It appears, by private letters from Paris, that con-
siderable general alarm had been excited, by the in-
disposition of the KING; to which the adjournment
of the meeting of the two Chambers, till the 29th
instant, is ascribed. Their funds fell two per cent.
on an apprehension, as was said, that when Mom-
stxua comes to the throne he will favour the Confe-
deracy of Continental Sovereigns to enslave their
subjects, and consequently endanger the tranquillity
of France.

According to accounts received from the Coast of
Barbary, the Regencies have given an entirely un-
satisfactory answer to the demands of Admiral
FREMANTLE and Admiral JURIEU, who went, with
a combined English and French squadron, to insist
on the renunciation of piracy. The plague has
ceased at Algiers, but still rages at Tunis, where it
has carried off 60,000 persons.

We are indebted to an intelligent merchant at
Buenos-Ayres, whose letter is dated on the 16th of
August, for the following article :
" By accounts received a few days ago from Chili,
we are informed of Lord COCHRANE'S arrival at Val-
paraiso, in the O'Higgins, the Galvarino in company.
When off Callao, his Lordship took three valuable
American vessels. These vessels were chartered, and
loaded with every description of warlike stores by the
Spanish Minister, Orris, resident in the United States.
One of these vessels had arrived at Valparaiso when
the last accounts came away. She has seven thou-
sand stand of arms, powder, &c. &c. besides a large
quantity of dollars on board. Lord COCHRANE, in
a letter to the Director of Chili, gives up his share of
prize-money to the Patria, which, he says, he may
call upon the Government for when the grand object
is attained, but not till then. The second expedition,
fitted out at Valparaiso, must have sailed by this
time. It consists of the whole of the squadron, and
about four thousand troops. There is also no ques-
tion they witl carry a regular Congreve rocket estab-
lishment with them. 'BLANCO remained under arrest,
and Captain Guise was confirmed second in nom-
mud."
