Passing through Vittoria, he waited on the wile of the gallant Gene ral Ak.v.i, to whom lie gave sume consolatory infor- mation respecting her husband. Sir Henry travelled in an English barouche, accompanied by Mr. Ken smfr. a Medical Gentleman attached to his Embassy, and an in the Spanish uniform of the rank of Lieutenaot-Colo:;e1. P.tssing through the Sierras, theY saw several bands of armed men, who, under. • standing who the travellers were, not only suffered • them .to pass unmolested, but cheered them by re. peated v'ivar. The brother of the Ville of Welling ton had nothing to fear. To•morrow (Sunday) he presented to his Majesty, and no doubt will a h ld to the brilliant assemblage on the New-year's .Day Fete. We hear that Charles raughan,'Esq. .Secretary of Embassy (assisted by Mr. H. Kilbee), stamina in charge of the business of the Embassy /Ira • tiailleare. Sir Henry proceeds to England, it is said, by the way of Brussels. . Yesterday were married, at the Parochial Church of St. Dennis, and subsequently at the English Ambassador's Chapel, Major-General the Hon. E. Cape), brother-in-law to the Earl of Es. sex, to Donna Barbarita Moritti, late of Cadiz, niece to the Brigadier of that name, who accompanied her . to Paris, happy to escape the persecution of his beloved Sovereign and Master. Brigadier Moritti is well known to the officers of the British army for his mu sical talents, his conviviality, and attachment to the British; the latter quality gave him no favour in the' Sicreiariu de Guerra of Madrid." VIENNA, DECEMBER n. The speedy departure of the King of Wirtemberg is no longer doubtful. Orders have been given by oar gmperor for his Majesty receiving all the lionow s .due to his rank, and the detachments have set out for shelf different stations. About the 27th it is thought his Majesty will depart. It is sal said that Belgium will be augmented by . 0,11 the countries lying between it and the Rhine. It is also asserted that the lung of Bavaria has formed aih arrangement with his Prussian Majesty for the esebasiee of certain territories, now provisionally ad . inplistered on the Banks of the Rhine. It is said that Austria and Bavaria,. ad lifornaw. . - burg and. Prussia, have — rCipectively coadsded rtes-t ties of aUiai cs. • 4 • The Emperor of Austria has ordered a statement' and description tos be presented to him, of such troop.' *tare proper to be disbanded. Dut such a meastne , will not be executed, at soonest, until after the ter. inination of the Congress. SALTZBURO, DECEMBER ts. Our Cabinet is constantly on excellent terms with the Court of Vienna ; and it is certain that convene tions have been made for this and some adjoining districts to return to the Austrian dominion. Bava ria will be indemnified by certain cessions en .the Rhine. The Archiepiscopal See of. Saltzburg will remain one of the principal in Germany. LEIPS&C, DECEMBER 21. The Prussian Provisional Government of Sunny exerts itself to convince the inhabitants, that their prosperity is the first wish of Prussia. They take svery opportunity, however, of declaring that the union between the two countries is unchangeably fixed. It is said that Baron de Recko, the Civil Governor of Saxony, devotes much attention to the University of Wittenbeig. This Seminary is the cradle of the reformed religion, and was the Theatre of Luther's glory ; and Prussia endeavours to convince the Saxons it will be an immense advantage to them to have a Protestant Monarch in future ; but many of the Saxons are gloomy at such insinuations. They love and respect their legitimate Sovereign, who, though a true Catholic, never interfered with the re ligious worship of his subjects. Prussia, notwithstanding the reports, has made as yet no military levies. in Saxony. The inhabitants seem unwilling to serve under foreign colours.

They talk now of a Marriage between the Atch. duke Charles anil'thE Grind Duchess Catharine, with* the addition, that they will hold their Court at War saw. Poland would then be placed under a mixed government, the members of which would be named by Russia and Austria. The Congress is said to be engaged in discussing this project. The project of making Hambargh the capital of the North of Ger many is abandoned, but a formidable line of forttesses will certainly be established from Switzerland to Wesel, which will constantly have numerous garri sons, forming a kind of standing army for the future safety of Germany. The defensive connections be-' tween the Empire and the Kingdom of the Nether lands, will be of such a nature as to insure the inde pendence of the latter against all future contingen• cies. This &ate will acquire great influence in the balance of Europe. FRANKFORT, DECEMBER 29. The Chronicle of the' Carte states from Vienna. 19th December, " The a l frairs of Germany are going on in 'the most desitabkmainer.

A public print affirms, that the Note presented by Prince Metternich, in answer to that of Wurtembrag, turns on two principal points, Ist. The territorial ea• tent of the powers which will ham in future the Ger. man Confederation; '2d, The political Constitution of these States. The solution of the first question, says the Note, depends on that of the affairs of Eu rope; consequently . the Committee for the affairs of Germany can employ itself only on the second ques don ; the particular knowledge of all that concerns the territorial changes is not necessary in order to terminate the Federal Act. The Members of the German Committee are besides sufficiently acquainted with the principal relations which will take place, and trifling deviations can have no influence in this re spect, since when at a late period the drawing up of the Federal Act shall be proceeded upon, it will be easy to add the changes that may have been judged necessary during the Congress. The wise representa tions of Bavaria, Hanover, and Wirtemberg, had caused it to be determined to abandon the first plan that had been proposed. It could not be left to the option of a German Prince to accede or not to the German Confedera tion ; and the advantages resulting from this Confe deration to the totality of the German nation, could not be granted, except as a compensation for the sa crifices which the good of the whole nation requires. The object of the grand alliance, as far as Gmnany is concerned, was the abolition of the Rhenish Con federation, and the re-establishment of the liberty and constitution of Germany, with some modifications. The Gazelle of 'frau states the twelve Articles pro-, posed in the conferences hetween Austria, Prussia, Wurtemburgh, Bavaria, and Hanover, as a basis for the arrangement of Germany : 1. The States of Germany, including Austria and Prussia, for their German dominions, are united by a compact which shall be called "The G e rman Confederation." Each of the Members who shall join their alliance, shall renounce the right of sepa ratingfroinit without the consent of the othas. t.l'he object of this Confederation is to procure abroad peaci and independence, in respect of other Powers, anti u home the constitutional rights of all classes of the nation 3. In joining to attain this object, on which the good of the country in ge, eral depends, thesMembers of the German Confe deration reserve to themselves conjointly and individually, the free and entire enjoyment of their rights ot sovereignty, au far as they shall not have been restricted by the objcct mentioned in the preceding article, by the limitation especially expressed in the federal compact. 4. Ile object ot this compact will be fulfilled: (e) by an Ad- minlstration col:Maud with the division of Uertnany into a cer tain number at Circles, which Administration shall consist ot a Council composed ut Members of the Co-estates (A), by the in fluence which every Director of a Citee will have over the States ut his Circle , according to the teat of the Act of the Confede ration, and under the superisiteedance of the Assembly of the Contederates. 3. In the Council of Directors of the arclei, Austria shall have two votes, Prussia two, Hanover, Bavaria, and Wirtembers, we each. Tins Council shall be permanent, and be always assembkd in the same City; it shall decide according to the majority of votes ; and as many circles skill be harmed as there are voices in this Council. 14 attributes shall be—let. The ex cline:redirection, and the exercise of the exclusive power of the Coutederatian, the represen adon of this body in circumstances when It 111114 appear as such in its relations with foreign Powers, the decision upon peace or war-2d, The Administration con jmutly with the Cooled of the Princes and States, of the objects which belong to the resort of the lytter. 6. The Council et the States Is composed (a) of a certain num ber of Princely Houses ; they shall be chosen according to the antiquity al the dignity of print in the families, the splendour of these, and the population of their States, so that besides the ancient Princely Houses, there may be some new ones, bat only in the ease ot their possessing in the *hole a population et one hundred thousand; (i) of th e other princely houses and free ci ties, with the vote known by the name of " Curial Vote." But this Council has only the Legislative . Power of the Confedera tion, In smart with the Council of the Directors of Circles, in such a assitnet, however, that they form two separate Vote Chamber, toe their deliberations • consequeotly it is fiddly em ployed on general regulations, the object d which is the good of the interior. It meets but once a year, and continues sitting no Wager than is necessary to terminate th e affairs Which k has each time to discuss. TURIN, DECEMBER 24. The Marquis de Cirrail, Aide-de-Camp to his Sardinian Majesty, arrived here as a messenger ex traordinary this morning, from his father, the WK. quis de St. Marsan. our Minister at Vienna, wal l the important intelligence to his Majesty, that, by the tenor of the promote, of the 12th of December, approved the same day, and signed the 14th, by the Ministers composing the Congress, the cession of the Genoese territory to his Majesty has been de finitively resolved upon, and that it was settled, that his Majesty may make such arrangements as he may think fit, for organizing the Government of that State. 1 An order has - been dispatched to the General com. manding the English troops at Genoa, to deliver up the Government to the person appointed by his Ma jesty, and to consider his troops in future as auxi liaries to those of the King of Sardinia. This important acquiaition to our Sovereign, is a consequence of the avowed necessity of forming a more equal balance of power among the Italian States; and unites two neighbouring countries; form ed to esteem and appreciate each other, under the dominion of one of the most ancient Sovereigns of Europe. PETERSBURG, DECEMBER 2. M. Poethard has invented a machine by which boats can ascend the Volga laden with salt. Already IS vessels, laden with 80,000 pud each of salt, have na vigated up that river by means of this ingenious con, trivan.ce ; it saves a great deal of manual labour, and consequently of expence. M. Diriabin has made a very favourable report of its utilities to the Ministet lof the interior. The Persian Ambassador arrived the 24th of Oc tober, where he was received with all the honours due to his rank ; the day following his arrival his Ex cellency dined with the Civil Governor, where the bealths of the Emperor and his Persian Majesty were dr.inlc. This Officer has been some time in England, and speaks a little English ; his manners are more European than Asiatic ; his suite is very numerous, and includes 150 horses. He reached as far as NO wotaclitrkalc on the 10th of November. CADIZ, DECEMBLR 6. Our commerce .is in a deplorable state. The dis. count on bills of exchani,e 412 . per cent. ; the ordi. nary course of exchange is every where much against us. The royal paper is at a depreciation of 68 pet cent. Oar richest merchants speak seriously of trans. porting themselves and their properties to America : and it the unfortunate tidings respecting New Spaio shall be confirmed, it is feared that much of our capi. tat, which now enriches not only the Andalusias, but other parts of Spain, will shortly go to augment the wealth of the natiee,HispanoAmericans. GENOA, DECEMBER 12. M. 'Johnson succeeds M. Fitzgerald u English Consul at this port. The Licences granted to several Captains of this port, by M. Fitzgerald, have been annulled by order of the British Governinent. By a Circular from the Governor of Trieste. all the Austrian vessels dispersed heretofore are ditected to entcr the ports of Trieste and Fiume. All the foreign vessels in the port are invited to profit of the Moment in which the G-vernments of Tunis and Tripoli manifest an amicable disposition towardi the Emperor of Austria and as the Algerinefhave sus pended Oeir hostilities only until March next. • - TOLOSA, DECEMBER 90.

We have received Paris Papers of Monday last. A delectable obscurity still bangs over all the intelli gence from Vienna. Amid this dg darkr.ess visible.' however, there are one or two great points which wr apprehend are settled. Prussia seems to consider herself secure in the possession of Saxons-, and it 1: but justice to her to say that her Ministers have eu tered upon their new functions with great delicacy.' and in the true spirit of meekness and conciliation. Some few Saxons of the Catholic persuasion (for the King is a Catholic) still testify a desire for hfs restoration, and these are backed by the few jaccibins of Saxony, who pinned their faith, like their ur. happy Sovereign, upon the 'n1'1,101;14 of the great NANO -EON. It ou;ht to be recollected, however, the the war which this petty Prince waged in concert with his patron, against Germany, WAS so Unpopular in his own States, and particularly in his army, that he was finally abandoned by his subjects to the las: mein, when the Allies entered Leipsic. indeed it would be a matter of great doubt, if he was restored to his throne, that his subjects could ever pay hiol suit and service with the cordial reverence which due to a Monarch, to whom experience hu tang!), wisdom. and to whom adversity has been the schoc' , of reform. May of life }lath fallen into the sass, the yellow leaf, And that which should accompany old age. As honour, love, obeJience, troop. of Mend% Re cannot look to have! With respect to Pola', the intelligence from Vienna is of the most conflicting description : it bat• lies all attempt at scrutiny—one day we are told that it. is to be independent, the next that it is to be par tiaoned ; and then we have it given in perpetuity to RUSSid. 111 the midst of these contradictory accounts we cannot do better than submit thein to • the judg ment of our 'Readers without comment. The affairs of Italy are still unsettled. The inlw• bitants generally expected independpice and a new constitution ; in this they have been disappointed, and dissatisfaction is every where evident. In a tea weeks or months, we fear that this spirit will breai out in open insurrection. The BologGese are already threatening the Austrian Authorities to whose govern. ment they have been transferred. MURAT is marching his troops to assist his Austrian Ally in quelling these disturbances, but his troops desert from him in &tea numbers by the way. Are we to infer from this that the Neapolitans are pleased with King JoAciast the Great as their Sovereign, or the reverse/ The Brussels Papers present the projet for a Ger man confederation, said to kave'been proposed in the conferences between Austria, Prussia, Wurtecnberg, Bavaria, and Hanover, as a basisfor the arrangement of Germany. It tousists of twelve articles, and in ip ' general features assimilates to the constitution whicl. Germany had before the French Revolution; dividing the whole into circles, each independent,txceptingonly that portion of sovereignty delegated to the Oener4l Head for the general protection. Several districts having by the events of the war been incorporated with other States, some of these will nut revert to the Empire; but several princely Houses of suavest antiquity and population will be admitted to votes in the general affairs of the Empire, Same of this arrangement will of course depend on poistsnot.yet settled at Vienna, where much mystery .till covers the proceedings .of tht Congress. Indeed
