FROM THE LONDON COURIER, OF A
PRIL IL.
We congratulate our readers on the
improvement which has taken place in
various branches of trade, and particular
ly the Irish linens, which bids fair TO ar
rive at that responsibility which it enioy-
ed previous to the late depression. The
Dublin market of the week before last
experienced considerable briskness the
price of linens increased from 4d. TO sd
per yard. Considerable ORDERS were ri
ven; and the stock being low, will be the
means of giving employment TO many
persons Of both sexes, who for conside-
rable time have nearly subsisted upon
charity. This information is derived
from an undoubted source.
Swamsea Paper.
A letter from CadiZ III The French pa
pers, states that very rich laden Span
ish galeon from South America has been
taken in s;ght of the Canaries, by two
Independent privateers, after desperate
battle.
The grand duke of Russia, Nicholas.
arrived on the LIST instant, at Frankfort.
He set off in the afternoon for Stulyard
where he made but short STAY with his
sister, the queen of Wurtemberg. He
was then to go TO Weimar, To visit his ell
dest sister the grand hereditary duchess
of Weimar. HE will arrive about the
10th of this month at Berlin. where his
marriage with the princess Charlotte, ell
dest daughter ofihe king of Prussia, will
be forthwith soIemnized. The august
pair will SET off Immediately for ST. Pc
tersburg, where they are expected about
the end of May. His royal highness had
just left his sister, the queen of the Ne
therands, at Brussels. Europe is well
planted with the kindred of the Russian
ROYAL family.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

Paris, Ap,IL z.
j apprised you IN an antecedent letter
OF the violent conduct of some officers of
the guard, which had occasioned trans
ferments and dismissais in the company
OF Noallles. The vacancies have been
lately filed up. The appointment of Ger
tain persons, and especially of NJ. bon
denard, Col. of Il regiment of Cuirassiers
and Ex-Ecuyer of Bonaparte, TO a com
mand III this corps, is said TO have given
rise to so much dissatisfaction that the
greater part OF the guards of the first com
pany, have sent III their designations an
ESxample which was shortly after inflated
by the members OF the company of Az
res. As these nominations could but
have been made by the authority of the
Due de Feltre, Minister of war, in all
probability the arrangements of govern
ment will be upheld, and the spirit of an
archy successfully wiihslOod. Should
this point be yielded, what is 10 hinder

choice of another being the price this pre-
torlan cohOrl would next demand for their

Handel, director of the chancery of the
confederation, on whom the minor Hes
sian order bad been recently conferred.
1t is thought that the IIessian govern
ment will eventually submit TO tile deci
sion of the diet, and the more so, as il is
known that several sOvereigns of the Ger
manic confederation have conceived them
selves bound TO apply directly to the
elector, and to show him tie necessity
OF adopting another system iii his affairs.
Among others, IT is said that the grand
duke of Hesse Darmstadt has declared TO
the elector, that in the event of the cleo
tors not conforming To- the determination
of the diet, the ties Of relationship and
family would not thenceforward prevent
him from making common cause with the
other sovereigns of the confederation.
