" BERLIN, JULY 1.
4, The report is current here, that on the 3d of
August next, being the Anniversary of the King's
birth-day, an Ordonnance will be published, fixing
the basis of a Constitution for the Prussian Mo.
parch y ; but there are persons who doubt whether we
shall see fulfilled so soon, even in part, the hopes
which the Prussia,ns have entertained for these seven
,ears. ' Frederick 11. whose vast genius caused an
important part to he performed in Europe, by a
tlnall country, which seemed to be condemned to
obscurity, by the weakness of its resources, was an
absolute Monarch, and his Government was Military.
" Prince Charles of Mecklenburg, General in
chief of the Royal Guard ; Prince Hardsenberg ;
Count Bernstorff, the Minister for Foreign Affairs ;
and the Prince of Saxe Wittgenstein, High - Chem-
be' lain of the King's Household, are said to think
that the establishment of Provinciii States will suf-
fice to silence the importunate clamours of those who
desire a Constitution, and that the establishment of,
States General can only weaken the Executive Go-1
vernment. This system, which they defend, is pre-
ferable, they say, to any other; it is thionly one snit-
able to a Monarchy ; and in corroboration cf their as-
sertion, they allege the example of Austria, which has
always wisely judged States General to be destructive
of centralization, which is the essence of a Monarchy.
States General, they continue, threaten the throne
with a thousand dangers—when Joseph 11. attempted
to deviate from the track followed by his ancestors,
he had nearly opened the abyss of revolution in a
cotnitYy where, for centuries preceding, public trap-
squillit..y had not been a moment _disturbed.
The 13th Article of the Federal Act.; they add,
by no means prescribes the establishment of States
General; this Article merely decrees the establish-
ment of States in all the countries comprising the
t;erman Confederation ; Austria is very far from
de,iring to change its system, it finds that the exist-I
el:cc of Provincial States perfectly fulfils the 13th
Aiticle, and Austria ought in this to serve as a
model to Prussia."

The Paris Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday ar•
Tired this forenoon.. It is remarkable that they do
m>t contain a single word respecting the Revolution
at Naples. The intelligence could not but be known
at l'aiis 03. Wednesday, the day on which it was re-
ceived here, and what ultimate object the Censorship
can have by suppressing it we are at a loss to guess.
Those Papers are chiefly occupied with details re-
specting the meeting of the Cortes at Madrid ; of
*hid we have given the particulars from another
scarce.

A Letter from Bombay, dated January 20, says—
'. We learn from 011amundel, of the date of Decem-
her 20, that some pirates, whether Joassmees or
ethers is not positively known, have been commiting
some horrible outrages on that coast. About three
days prior to the date of the account, a vessel going
fiom Cutch Mandavie to Bate, in which were about
eighty Byragees, men and women, had arrived in
sight of Bate when, she was fallen in with and
hoarded by the pirates. The vessel had no merchan-
dise on board, being taken up to carry the pilgrims.
The pirates cut off the heads of forty persons, and
threw their carcases into the sea ; the remainder,
v ith the exception of four women whom the pirates
carried off, they wounded with their spears. The,
Latharians then took away the sail, bored a hole in
the bottom of the vessel, and quitted her : the poor
v ounded on board contrived to prevent the vessel from
tilling, and by tying together the few cloaths left
them, of which they formed a sail, in that way reached
Bate : every assistance was afforded them by the
'Company's Officers, who supplied them with food ;
sut 11. d, notwithstanding, died—it is not expected
that more than ten will recover. At the date of our
advices there were six pirate vessels within two miles
'f the shore; one of the Hon. Company's cruizers
vas also in sight, but the shallows and shoals on the
coast would preyent her from coming up to them,
rot was there any force on shore to prevent these
}:l..triderers from landing at different places, and pil-
laging the neighbouring country. Their intention
was to attack the temple of Dwarka, where they.
excected to find great plunder."

It was reported last night, and with much confi-
dence, in some of the 'Government Offices, that a
F., ivate adjustment of theQUKEN'S business was nearly
ttrected ; that the QUEEN shall continue in the full
possession of all her legal rights, titles, and privileges;
end that in consequence of the progress already made
in this adjustment, orders were immediately to be issued
to go on with the preparations for the Coronation.
In one particular, the report was stated differently.
According to one edition of it, the QUEEN is to be
crowned along with the KING; according to another,
her MAJEsTv is to renounce all pretensions to any
:Late in the ceremony. We can give no part of this
report as rening on unquestionable authority ; and
our Readers will ; c 'line to give it credit.

Yesterday morning Viscount CASTLEREAGH had
an audience of his MAJESTY.
