that as the Allied Sovereigns are on the one hand far from wishing to violate the independence of France, they are on the other hand resolved vigilantly to Iguard the maintenance of the general tranquillity. VIENNA, FEBRUARY 23. The Austrian Observer, after giving an account of the attempt to assassinate the Duke of Wellington, adds the following observations: " We suppose that the crime will excite in France, as every where else, only one feeling. The criminal who committed it, whether he acted from his own impulse or only as an accomplice, has been guilty of more than an or- 1 dinary crime. The man whom he attempted to as sassinate does not appear here in his own individual character, he belongs to Europe, nay to the human race. His services to humanity are above the praise of his contemporaries, and his destiny has even now placed him on the pinnacle of glory ! What could have been the object of the attempt? To think of alarming the Duke of Wellington, could scarcely enter into the head of a madman : he who has seen death in a thousand shapes, will not fear an assassin. —His way of acting will be always and invariably the same ; he has contributed more than is usually granted to one man to the restoration of order, and he stands now as the guardian of the work in the success of which he has had so large a share. Is it, wished to attack in his person, the cause which he defends? In this case hundreds of thousands would rise, and maintain the cause of all. These observa tions mark the enterprise as a crime, which cannot have been imagined except by a desperate villain, or by a party which longs for fresh troubles." to vest mur.ey is trading concerns, w ithout their being persons snswerable for any t hing beyond the amount of mon e y so in vested, so they were not acting partners. A Petition was presented front the Guardians of the Poor of against the pressure of the Poor's Rates. Mr. THOMSON stated, that in that town in a few itants years had the Rates had been raised front 60001. to 31,0001. Inhab begun to emigrate from the town to avoid them. There was no subject of internal e conom y more deserving of the attention of the House. The hection Laws Amendment Bill was brought in, read a first time and ordered to be read a second time on Monday. Sir rt.,FERG USSON presented a Petition from Weymouth against the Salt Tax. Lord STANLEY presented a Petition front Royston, praying for the repeal of the Corn Act and the dismission of Ministers. In answer to a question from Mr. WARRE, Sir GEO RGE.W AR REN DF,R said he should postpon not e the Navy Estimates till Monday, as the Finance Report was yet delivered.

This day we received New York Papers to the ultimo. The following are extracts : NEW YORK, FEBRUARY is. The Hornet sloop of war, now fitting out for sea, is, we understand, ordered to Cape Henry, Hayti, to demand restitution of property belonging to Ameri can Merchants, unjustly seized by Christophe some years ago. It is rumoured that Commodore Lewis goes out as Agent of the United States. FEBRUARY 14.—Mr. Cobbett has presented a pe tition to the Legislature of Pennsylvania, praying for the restoration of a sum of money which he was tha im t properly compelled to pay into the treasury of State in 1804. The Committee of the Senate, to whom the petition was referred, made, on the 4th instant, a long and elaborate Report on the subject. From Amelia Island we have accounts to Tuesday evening last, at which time affairs remained in slats. quo. The American land and naval forces were still on Amelia. Aury and his followers had not left the island, and it is believed he will remain there until he hears of the final decision of Congress relative to keeping possession of Amelia, which he expects will be given up to him. Immediately on surrendering to the American Authorities, Aury sent his secretary to Washington city with dispatches, remonstrating in high terms against the proceeding of the President, and stating certain claims which he has to the island of Amelia, &c. Three vessels, under the Mexican flag, were at St. Mary's repairing, in order to be ready to take the Commodore and his heroes away, should they be obliged to depart. ROME, FEBRUARY 14. The Sardinian Consul here, in order to allay the alarms of navigators, has officially contradicted an article published in the German. Journals, under the hcad of Genoa, as the good intelligence between the King of Sardirda and the Regency of Algiers has not been troubled in any manner, and consequently the vessels bearing the Sardinian flag are not taken by the Algerines. The Consul, however, expressly re commends seafaring people to adhere strictly to the instructions given by the King, as . the least irregula rity in their papers might endanger their own interest, as well as the honour of the Sardinian flag. STOCKHOLM, FEBRUARY 17. The Marshal of the Kingdom has given notice, that at the ceremony of the funeral of his Majesty. Charles XIII. the military may appear in uniform, all other persons must wear mourning. The deep mourning will be continued till fresh orders are given by the King. Every day from noon till one o'clock, the bells are tolled through the Kingdom, all the Theatres are shut, balls, concerts, and other amuse ments, prohibited.—The corps of Officers and two men of each of the Burgher Guard, horse and foot, f out whom his Majesty received in person the oath of allegiance on the Gth of this month, have been in vited by the King tc an entertainment in the Hall of the Exchange. The other troops have received a present in money.

IV NAr AL INTELLIGENCE. RAMSGATE, MARCH te. The numerous vessels in our harbour which have sustained damage by the late severe gales, are under going repair with all possible expedition ; many are getting only a temporary outfit, so that they may proceed to London to be put in order for sea, as it would be a great sacrifice of time to wait for their turn of admission into the Dry Dock, having but one here, and no skip whatever where vessels could be hauled up and repaired. The Majestic steam pac ket has arrivedhere from the River, to assist some.of the larger ships up which are in a crippled state. — Upwards of 100 strange ship-weights have come into the town since the gales, and find ready employment at advanced wages. Ramsgate, so far as relates to the shipping part of it, never exhibited so much bus tle as at present. The quantity cf anchors and cables which have been supplied, are without precedent. The Deal boatmen have, with their usual promptness and intrepidity, rendered most important services to vessels in distress during the late dreadful gales, Winging them into this harbour in a most masterly style, and averting much mischief which must other wise have taken place. They are undoubtedly a most useful body of men, and are entitled to every consideration from the Shipping Interest for their late 'extraordinary exertions to save life and property. — The Zealand, MAssEN, from Middleburgh, bound to 'Cadiz, has fallen over in the Basin and damaged part of her cargo ; it is now discharging.—Wind W.N.Wi MARGATE, MARCH 12. Wind W.N.W.—A lugger with some cotton from the MarquisWellingten has come down this morning, and reports that the ship settles very fast down an the sand. They had got about 40 bales of cotton on deck, but could only put a small proportion of them into the lugger, as it came on to blow very hard again this motning, which obliged them to leave the ship.

A Deal boat has just returned from her, and states that she has gone to pieces, and she appeared a copper bottomed and fastened vessel, laden with cotton and staves, black sides, with two white mouldings, and a fiddle head. We cannot ascertain any further parti culars at present. FALMOUTH, MARCH to. Wind W.N.W.—No arrivals, but a brig from the westward has just appeared and made a signal for a Pilot.

The Paragon, NI.GowN, came over the bar same day, and was expected to sail in six. days ; also the Cecilia, 3PLEA, for Clyde. The Roger Stewart, COOPER, has put into Wigton Bay.

Having made the Tower of Dunkirk, she seems to have struck upon the cliff. The Captain's name is TRUITE. No boats on deck ;it is supposed; therefore, that the people saved themselves in them.
