- t THE EVENING STAR• LONDON., FRIDA'Y,.MAY 17, 1816. -Wismar or WALSS 11011.110:110l4111 at the Banks Dutch, Hamburgh, and Flanders Mails arrived this forenoon, from which we have selected various interesting articles. Our Readers will recollect the Treaty, concluded some time agovbesween the Em perors of RUSSIA and AUSTRIA, and the King of Pamela, known by the namearf the Sacred Alliance, sad which, by l itany, was dreaded as threatening terrible evils to Europe. On this subject the Itm peror of RUSSIA has addressed to all the Courts of Europe an interesting Declaration, stating the purity of the motives of the contracting parties; and the ul timate and only object of the Alliance to be the maintenance and extension of universal peace, and the security of the internal happiness of States—and not only to cultivate and confirm universal sen timents of Peace, Concord, and Benevolence among Christian nations, but to extend these blessings as far as their .influence may enable them to those nations which do not profess the Christian Religion. At Petersburgh the latter part of this Declaration is interpreted to allude particularly to • the Ottoman Porte, and of course to a pledger that the views no , toriously known ,to have been entertained by former Monarchs respecting the subversion of that Power, at least in Europe, have now been relinquished. The words a internal haliftinese s of Stake," will still be ob jected to by those who persist in judging of the sin cerity of Monarchs by the evidence of History. All European Treaties have for niany centuries been en tered into in the name of the Trinity, but bow lightly has this sacred oath been held 'when interest or pas sion piompted a breach. So, far the doubts of ob. jectors rest on grounds Which can only be rendered nugatory by a continued experience of good faith. When the copy of the Sacred Alliance was first submitted to our Readers, we ventured to give an opinion that it • promised benefits to mankind,• and we stated our reasons. It is the first European Treaty in which we have seen the Parties voluntarily confess, that in the previous rule of their States they had not been influenced, as they ought to have been, by the Principles of the Christian Religion. The document was entirely extra-official. There were no difference": to adjust—no boundaries to settle— , no misunderstandings to be removed : the parties were at. peace among themselves, and with all the • world, after long, grievous, and desolating wars.— The maintenance of peace at such a crisis could not but occupy their minds, and nothing could be more natural, though, perhaps, nothing has been less usual, than to examine with some seriousness the cause that had brought their long and dreadful afflictions. Should it be thought impossible that Monarchs should ever think seriously ? or, thinking seriously, that they should never humbly confess their errors ? We did consider that Treaty as such a confession— as a confession which held out a reason of hope that they meant to amend, and as highly honourable to themselves. We confess that the evidence of past experience weighs heavy in the scale against our hopes; but all the circumstances of the moment and of the Treaty taken into consideration, we are inclined still to give them credit for sincerity; and to consider the Treaty as an evidence of moral change impressed on the go. vernments of the earth. It is not possible, in the: nature of things, that Monarchs alone should receive no profit front experience. It is true that of all men they have the least chance to benefit by the lessons which political convulsions are calculated to afford, owing to the pains that are often taken to de. ceive them ; but let us giVe them the credit of poi. seising common sense as well as other men. The late convulsions of Europe were of no common com pletion. The great machine could often not be directed without the personal interference of the Mo narchs themselves : nay more, many of them were made dependent parts of the machinery, and compel led to act by the relation they were placed in by. a muter in respect to the other parts in melt circum stances, that they were made to feel their situation and compelled to think.—The result we firmly believe will be—has bees, a great moral change in the condition of Europe ! The sacred alliance we hold as an evidence of this ,change; and we entertain no doubts, if these Mo narchs will only continue to act under the influence Of the conviction with which they were then im pressed, that the future happiness of themselves and their subjects will be aughtented. The chief danger to which they are now exposed, is that of being led to act indiscreetly respecting the in ternal affairs of their neighbour's territory. Let them ever recollect that men in power are apt to abuse it, and be more ready to admonish their brother Monarchs to Cultivate a good understanding with their own subjects, than to march their troops to assist them in enforcing obedience to claims ani mandates which may be founded in injustice. Let them do this, and their subjects will love and obey t h e m s they will live io 'peace, their subjects will be-happy,. and their States will become rich and Beeridgag.

It is not yet certain whether the trade to Iceland will be laid open to all nations. There are now five printingaoffices at Christianniat where formerly there was only one& BRUSSELS, MAY It. Several General and Superior Ogees* belonging to the several carpi of the right wing of the army of occupation, who have been to Cambray to confer with the Doke of Wellington, are now gene back to their quarters. The Duke is still at Cambray, and is very Much employed. In the courses:of the 7th and Bth be dis. patched numerous courieri to London, Paris;Sedan, and'Alsace. Coasiderable changes will be made in the positions of the Allied Army, but with no other view than to relieve those districts which have suf fered the most by the pressure of the troops. Mean time the British troops cantoned in Picardy and Ar tois are already changing their positions. The num ber of men returning to England is now stated to fie as high as 3000, and that of those that are expected :from England, and some of whom are already ar rivet', ho l m 4 to 5000. The same letters state, that it is. very uncertain whether the Duke of Wellington will gato England; it seems that he will soon go back to Paris, and in the month of June inspect the whole line from Givet to Colmar. Letters from Lille state, that in the eosi's of the department of the North, which are not occupied by the Allies, some regiments of infantry and cavalry are expected which have been organised in Normandy and Brittany. They are particularly to increase the garrisons of Lilly, Douay, and Arras, without, how ever, exceeding the number ixed by the Treaty of , Paris. The chief cause of this increase must be looked for in the necessity nf the relieving the National Guards, who still do the duty with -so much seal. The Custom-house line on the side of France is to be strengthened in order to oppose a more efentoat obstacle to the smuggling. BRUSSELS, MAY is. The English regiments of cavalry _which were to quit the army • to return to England, have receiVed counter orders. The extraordinary events which have just threatened again the tranquillity of France, are doubtless connected with this new measure. In several provinces of France about Paris the restless artisans ot troubles and revolutions have spread' a report, that in the month of May a neer' revolution would break out in that unhappy kingdom. Severe measures are taken to repress this audacity. Under the Government of Bonaparte, Mr. Legeas, the brother-in-law of Maret, Duke of Bassano, had been named Bishop of Liege. This Prelate is now in this city. VIENNA, MAY IL The reduction of the army ordered by the Govern ment is already in a great measure executed s the horses and the magazines are sold or selling. Never for these 30 years past was the Amok' stay More completely on a peace establishment. , _ Thus the Government can employ well its re_ sources in the amelioration of the finances, and Eno. cute whatever it undertakes for this purpose with she confidence necessary to succeed ; the want of which has hitherto caused the failure of the best concerted plans of finance.

Yesterday the King gave an audience to Prince Esterhazy, Ambassador from Austria to the Court of London. Afterwards his Majesty received a nume rous deputation of,tbe Chamber of Peers. 'Tbe Minister of General Police having been in formed of the bad conduct of three conductors of Royal Measageries on the Lyons route, two of them have been suspended from their fractions; the third, still more guilty, has been dismissed entirely. The troops and National Guards which left Lyons • have arrived safely at Grenoble. The second Council of War will immediately try the °Seer who, on the 6th of July, 1815, killed on the Boulevard Poissomiere, an old man, who cried Pew t Roil ORENOSLE, MAY 9. The ?revotal Court, in their Sittings of the 7th, condemned three of the rebels, named Buisson, Drevet, and David, to death. The latter was re commended to mercy. The Court acquitted a fourth, named Nand. The two first condemned were exe cuted yesterday afternoon. The utmost tranquillity now prevails. The Prefect of the Isere has issued a decree for a general disarming. All - thoise who do not deliver up their arms of every description within twenty-four hours, are to be punished as rebels. One Guillot, a retired Officer of Artillery, who directed the insurrection of the Commune of La Mute, and who was already saved from capital pa aishment by die goodness of the Duke of Angou. lease, has been thus covered with the double infamy of ingratitude and treason. A reward of 500 francs is offered for his apprehension.

[Another Proclamation offers 9000 francs for the apprehension of Didier, one of the Chiefs of the In . sun-emirs.) PARIS, MAY 14. The degree of perversity and ingratitude of Di dier, one of the chiefs of the insurrection at Grenoblei is without example. At the time of the King's fiiss restoration he was loaded with honours 'and the fa vour of the King. His Majesty made him Master of Requests and a Member of the_Court of Cassatioft. , He kept by the former of those places, beceuse . thought it would lead him still farther. He also-ois. tamed for his sou a Sub-prefectural& be Depirtment of the Isere, his country, which be wished to make the seat of a civil war. It. was this young traitor who first went out to meet the Usurper. Bonaparte made him Prefect of the Lower Alps. Dicliir, tJ father, attended all the seditious and federal twins in Paris. On the arrival of the King, Didier went to hide himself in the environsof Lyons and Grenoble, where he prepared new treasons. All the false reports which lately agitated those places originated with him and other wretches. Every information leads us to think that GefteralDonnadieu was to have fallen by Didier's hand.

Her Majesty received an Address of congratulation from Guild. ford by Lord Grantley, the High Steward and the itrcorder, accompanied by General Norton. Her Majesty also received several other Addresses from different plices. Tate exterior of the Palace, as well as the interior, had a most splendid and fascinating appearance; the company who had paid their congratulatory respects go the Queen at the commencement of tie Drawing Room, were not able to leave the Palace, their car. 'riages not being able to draw up till all the company bad sat down. The windows of the Palace were filled with elegantes, others promenaded the Palace Court-yard and the grass plat. The Ladies in gene. sal wore white feathers in honour of the wedding, and numbers of the Gentlemen wore white farads in their hats. Such a contrasted and dignified u. asiablage were scarcely ever beheld on' an open pro. mtessade upon any other occasion. The top of the Queen's guardhouse was covered with respectable peisohs. Several trees were filled with individuals, and the whole parks were crowded with people and carriages 10 an extraordinary degree. Princess Craasts.ofur and Prince Litotoen left with their suites in the same state as they came; the guard of honour saluted them with military honours, the band playing " God save ihe.King." as they hat, received them on their arrival, as they did the liege* and all the Royal Dukes. The Bishops, Judges, asd .other distinguished characters, krmed aline for theel to pins through in the Court-yard, bowing and curt' seying to the Royal Pair as they passed, and die Prince and Princess bowing in return.
