FRANKFURT, JANUARY 11. The Bureau lox the gum sex clog of the troops Is now itutualiy dissolved ; the soldiers that pass through in future will ha quartered in public.lioures, with the landlords of which contracts are made fur that ear pose. No city. can well have suffered more thin Frankton has clone for the last twenty-live years by the oppressive methed of quartering :oldies gratis, which arose with the French revolution, was systenxa. titally pursued, and arbitrarily applied, to the total ruin of tire individuAl citizens, and it is no exaggera. tion to say, that including the public and private erre l i proses, the whole amounts in this period to sixty mil. lions of &wins. •A public paper makes the people here murmur at the duration of the Provisional Government, says,' that a cornmiisien is 2ppointed, and that troops ate hastily marching to the city. It is scarcely necessary to say that in 'these assertions, at least the two last, there is not a syllable of truth; there is, however, no question but that the general wish to see. the new Constitution begun, is daily more loudly pronounced; but of disturbances there is not the smallest appear ance. While tile Deputation, consisting of five Mem bers of the Senate, and five of the Citizens, which is employed on the project of the Constitution holds its Sittings almost daily, there have just appeared, by a lawyer of this city, Remarks upon the fourth project of the Constitution,_ which is proposed as the basis of the luture Constitution. The Author disapproves it as defective, and recommends our ancient Constitu tion in preference, which was found calculated to pro mote both our happiness and our honour. .VIENNA,' JANUARY 13. . The part of Istria belonging to the Government of the Littprale forms only a part of Illyrium, and since the time of Augustus joined to Italy, contains nume rous monuments of that brilliant period of the Ro.. man .Empire, particularly in the formerly flourishing, now decayed town of Lola, and in the neighbourhood of Trieste. The remains of the Roman amphitheatre at rola- have been frequently descriLed, but insuffi ciently. Marshal Marment set Tome workmen to dig rotted it, which produced some information respect ing this monument of antiquity; but it was reserved for Mr. Peter Nubile, architect at Trieste, to proceed so tar this summer, that as much has been discovered under ground as was before above it, and to prove tie possibility . of clearing the whole of this magnifi. cent building from the rubbish. He has also, out of zeal for the Arts, uncovered more of a temple of An gostus, and of a Roman gate at Pola, and secured them, as fir as possible, in order to give the friends of antiquity a complete work upon the subject. The same Mr, Nubile has also drawn from the rubbi is, and from oblivion, the admirable aqueducts in tic territory of Trieste, that are also of Roman origia. He had set people to 44 in a b ove t w in • places, and had discovered' the whole live caf t4c asque duct, from Trieste to the source whicii supplied it with water. Count Laurau, during his stay at Trieste, having been informed of the discovery of this aqueduct, w aited the whole line of its course, tt is so, be hoped, that, in few years, Trieste, Aiwa to a high degree of prosperity god population, will employ its :enticed hailirant period in *Wring ati% Ana monument Qf gift &ant dmiatalla 414 • Fame of 9,000 years, for the honour Ma ultuitar 1 of the present age. Later accounts inform us, that his Imperial Mi kity, ever attentive to the welfare of his States, has granted the said Peter Nobile 3,000 silver florins, to continue the digging out of the Roman antiquities at PoU, and an equal sum to examine further the anti •. . . Times in the neighbourhood of Trieste. His Majesty granted, at an earlier period, a still more considera ble sum for the prosecution of archaeological re searches about Aquileia. HAMBURGH, JANUARY 90. The following is the most recent intelligence from Sc. Petersburgh, dated the Sd instant : All the members of the Order of the Jesuits who Were in this capital have received orders to leave it in twenty-lour hours. They have brought upon . them selves this banishment by making proselytes, even among respectable families. " The Chancellor of - the Empire, Count Nicholas Romanzow, has come hither from his estates. It is believed that he will enter the ministry; several changes in the administration are talkbd A' large quantity of cloth for the uniform of the Regiments of Guards, has been contracted for in 'England. The Emperor has addressed the fcllowing letters to two Metropolitans of the Russian church " Venerable Metropolitan of Novgorod and St. Peteraburgb, An►brodue ! " On my first entrance into the capital of France, 1 wished to math that termination of the holy war !with a memorial of the religion which conquers the world, to the honour of its great bead, CuttraT the Samoa, who gives and crowns 'victory. With Ibis view I now send to you the cups prepared at Paris by my orders, which are used by our orthodox church in the celebration of the Sacrament of the Sup, per—place them en the altar of the Cathedral of the Holy Mother of GOD, at the steps of which I began 'ana concluded the journey, which has been so gra ciously favoured by PRoVIDENCI4 (Signed N ALEXANDXR."

VIENNA, JANUARY 10. The plague, whose ravages had actually extended as far as Esscgg, in Sclavonia, and given occasion to the severest measures of prevention, has now, thank HZAVEN had a stop put to its progress. The un common weather of ►his winter probably increased the susceptibility to infection. From all quarters we receive accounts of the most rapid changes of tcmperatuie. The day before yes terday the singular occurrence of a thunder storm wok pl ice amid >t a fall of snow ; the lightning struck the sacristy of St. Stephen's Church, but did no damage. According to all accounts, the existing difficulties with regard to the occunatiun of 111 , .! Ihn and Haus ruckviertel, as well as the Principality of S-.lzburg, are now removed, and the retiniorvf these provinces with the Austrian empire will socoffollow. In Bavaria several anonymous writings have ap peared on the subject of these territorial cessions, in which the writers have even gnne so far as to propose going to war, in preference to making these cessions. Of course, however, all these pamphlets have no in. fluence on the ncgociations. • The following Protest of M. Eurbach, the insertion of his name in the Royal Ordinance of the 21. th of July, has appeared in a Vienna paper. It is addressed to Fouche, then Minister of Police, who countersigned the ordinance : " PAWS, JULY 31. " Monseigneur—l leave Paris in obedience to the Ordinance of the 21th of this month ; but while 1 submit to this exile, I feel it necessary again to ex press to your Excellency my surprise and regret that I should have been named in an Ordinance, the ex pressed object of which is the punishment of the crime committee in March last. " It cannot be unknown to your Excellency that I was at that time in Germany, solely and entirely busiect'about my own private affairs. 'There I learn ed, not only with astonishment but with horror, the enterprise of Napoleon Bonaparte ; I say with hor ror. because the sentiments which I had publicly ex pressed in regard to him, might have provoked him to revenge against me; my speeches of the 7th cfi April and the 30th of June, 1814, which I take the liberty herewith to subjoin, will sufficiently chew My alum was so great, that I must inform you Ex ' cellency, I took the advice of several respectable fiienos, who could bear irrefragable testimony to this if necessary, whether under these circumstances I should return to France. All of them were of opi nion, that, as the King had called together the Chamber of Deputies, I should repair thither. Ac cordingly I finished my business as quickly as pos sible, and on the 20th March set out on my journey. On the evening of the 22d I entered Saarbruck, a French frontier town. Soon after my arrival at Paris, I took upon me to apply to your Excellency, to [ obtain permission to remain some days there, no:- withstanding the decree which banished the Deputies Ifrom that capital. 44 Your Excellency must doubtless also recollect 'my refusal to undertake the Prefecture, of which you talked to me two days after my arrival. It is not unknown, that during the whole continuance of Na poleon's domination, 14 never once approached his person, that I neither asked nor received of him any mark of favour, grace, or office; in fine, that I only spoke to him twice in try lite, each time to point out to him the necessity of laying down the power with which be was then invested ; my colleague, Flan -1 gergues, can bear testimony to this last tact. It is, therefore, quite incomprehensible to me, what can be the cause of applying to me a punishment in relation to the crime perpetrated in the month of March. 44 If the sentiments which X have esgessed .41 the . %%Pe of ilkY !WM 4401144 • .• please, this is certainly a misfortune; but so far from' discovering the views of a conspirator, there may be recognisedits them the character of a frank and ho• nest citizen, free from all party spirit as well as am, bition, who wished for nothing but that France, after five and twenty years of sacrifices and misfortuves, should at last enjoy a Constitution which might secure her freedom, tranquillity, and to the throne, all its force and brilliant-. “ I have also to observe, that in the year 1793 1 I was condemned to death, because 1, as member of the administration of the department of the Moselle, where I held the office of Attorney• General, oppised Ito the utmost of my power, the subversion of the 'throne; and that, since that period up to the year 11,, when I was appointed a member of the legislative body, I held no public office. 66 My political conduct since that period is known, and bits been uniformly such, that I am convinced your Highness e cannot refuse me your respect. ..Is this confidence, I have addressed to you the present representation, and have the honour to remain, (Signed) 66 Dun Ac 1 FRANCE. CHAMBER 07 DEPUTIES. JANVART The Deputies discussed to-day in a Secret Com mittee' the proposal of M. de Castel Bojac. relative to the Clergy. It is believed that the Chamber began today to occupy itself upon the Budget. The Commission charged with the examination of the different parts is divided into three sections of nine Members each, having one President and a Secretary. The three sections uniting in one general Committee, the Presi dent of the first section will be the Reporter. The French Funds on Monday were 60 8-10. Bank Actions, 1045. PRIVATE LETTERS. ‘, PARIS, JANUARY SS. • " I have much pleasure in stating to you, that all the anxiety, uneasiness, and alarm, which existed.re lative to the threatened attack on the Thuilleries, have entirely subsided. Several Officers and other persons forming a species of nocturnal soiciliabule at a house in the Rue de l'Echelle (not far from the hotel in which the Club " &Saxon." is held) and who were supposed t0 .. .9e medita:ing some attack on the Royal Family, hire been arrested. This vigilance and ac tivity on thl part of the Prefect of Police have pro claced the hippiest effect. There are still,however, thousand idle runmurs in circulation relative to dif ferent plots and conspiracies, but which have no foundation in truth. " The following circunistance proves the absolute necessity of an immediate ai.d thorough reform among the Officers of the National Guard :—About ten days ago several Officers of a legion of National Horse Guards manifested their dislike &nil hatred to the Bourbons, in bedaubing and painting with ludicrous figures the bust of Louis XVIII. which was ?laced in the Guard•ruom occupiea by the post. Unierneath the bust was written as foilows • Tu was guillotine COMM ton sacre-.--de frere.' " A report of this indecent and infamous conduct of the Officers commanding the post was so,,n trans mitted to the Due de Reggio, who instantly ord:red them to be arrested and imprisoned." ANOTHER LETFER-SAME DATE. 6• On Saturday, the day of their arrest, Sir Robert positively declined giving any answer whatever to the interrogatories proposed to him. He was closely confined and au secret. The day after he would only answer the mere questions of formality, such as leis name, age, profesbion, &c. He persisted in this sys tem for the motives already explained, and which he communicated to Lord Auckland, 6 that the ten dency of the questions was to criminate him ;' that he was asked, 6 What his private ("pinion of Ney was ?—what houses he frequented &c. In conse. quence of this resolution be was kept au nowt until the Thursday following, when the Marquis of Buck ingham obtained permission for Lady Wilson (who has the misfortune of being entirely blind) to ♦isit ' her husband, and the Marquis accompanied her to the prison : since that time the rigour of his cap tivity has been alleviated j he is permitted to see her Ladyship every day, and she enters with the friend who conducts her. a Sir Robert is allowed to walk in the Court when the other prisoners are shut up. M. Dupuis, the Judge, has conducted himself with all the huma nity it was in his power to chew. " The public attention is directed to the trial of Sir Robert Wilson and his friends, which is said to be fixed for Thursday, before the Court of Assizes; the same Court that tried Lavalette. You may rely on the exactness of the following particulars : 44 M. Dapin, who defended Marshal Ney, wits re tained by Lady Wilson as her husband's Counsel, immediately after his detention. 64 Various Postmasters and Subaltern Officers of the Brigades of the Gendarmerie have been put under arrest between Paris and Mons. They endeavour to excuse their remifsness by pleading the British uni form in which Lavalette escaped, but it appears that their directions were so positive, that this palliation is not considered sufficient.' At a Meeting of the Corporation of Dublin, on the 20th int. Mr. GUTARD moved that a Petition Auld .be prepared and presented to 'Parliament against the claims of the Roman Catholics.—The motion was carried without a division.
