I . • ANCONA, DECEMBER es. Two 0-ty-: sauce a ship arrived here :rom the island of Cyprus ; it had on board Monseigneur albertini, Bishop of Gondar, a ccompanied by six priests. This mission is on its way to the Pope, to compliment him on his return to the capital of the Christian world., The following is some account of the origin of this embassy : _ " At the time of theexpedition to Egypt, all the Christians of 'Dirket, in Europe, and chiefly those of Constantinople, experienced great persecutions, when about 800 (50 of whom were Priests) retired to the Island of Cyprus. Those persecuted had the vane sable Albertini at their head, and established them selves in the environs of Nicotia. The Governor of the Island, who is of a mild and tolerant spirit, f.rci lamed thvir establishment. The Priests, that they plight not interfere with the prejudices of the country, cloistered thems.:,ves in the strictest manner, and the colony prospered. These peaceable Christians lived for fifreen years in die most petfixt tranquillity", having kren but rarely informed of the evils which afflicted Europe. On hearing of the restoration of tire 1-'pe to his dominions, they sent the present de. putati to felicitate his Holiness thereoh. The pious Albertini, although 85 years of age, has twrne all the fatigues of a tedious .sea voyage with great cheer fulness." PARIS, JANUARY Is- Yesterday the King reviewed, in the Court of the inuilleries, the fine corps of Royal lierse Grenadiers, commanded hi Count Laroche Jacquelin, and which now forms part of the garrison of Paris. Various private letters, received from Belgium► coincide in stating, that for those provinces 50 mil lions are to be paid by way of indemnity to Austria by the Prince Sovereign of the Low Countries. The burden, it is said, will be very much mitigated, by the mode of levying inis istraordinaty contribation• Hitherto the Government his c rafined itself to aug menting, by a fourth, or at must by a third, the ca rious taxes established under the French domination, and which then amounted to a sum total of 72 ma. lions. The Belgians appear, in general, to be satis fied with the commercial regulations introduced by their new Government. The interests of the Excite. quer have been wisely combined with those of corn. merce and manufactures. Care has also been taken to' confine exclusively to natives all the advantages attached to public officc, even in the most insignifi cant places under Government. The number . • .4 • 49. t. of foreigners who remained in cam have btan missed. They would Mem to hive written' as sU the g ata—ssova and , The German journals contain the fallowitig sketsh of the joss of men owing to . the 'wars of Bona parte, since 1802 :-.First, The war of St. Doltingo, from 1801 to 18e6; tarried off 60,000 French soldiers and sailors, at least .50,000 of the white inhabitants of the island, and 50.000 negroe . s. Secondly, The maritime Mr with England, from 1802 to 1814, cost the two parties and their allies at least 900,000 men. Thirdly, The: winter campaign of 1803 1806, which was short, but very bloody, robbed the belligerent powers of 150,000 men. Foarthly, The war in Calabria, from 1805 to 1807, destroyed' 100,000 men. Fifthly, The war in the North, from 1806 to 1807, cost . 300,000 men. The war in Spain, the most murderous of all, from 1807 to 1813. car ried off 2,400,000 men. ft will not be rating too high the annual loss which this last war occasional, as ' well to the French and their Allies, as to the English, the Spaniards, and the Portuguese, whether in battles or sieges, or by contagious diseases, or assassination's,' or other disasters, to estimate it at 200,000 men. Seventhly, The campaign in Germany and Poland, in 1809, swept away 300,0001m1. Eighthly, The ' campaign of 1812 cost France and her Al4s 500,000 men, and. Russia 300,000, in_ battles, in hospitals, and in towns and villages which were burned, besides 200,001 Poles, Germans, and French, who were victims of the contagions diseases resulting from fa mine or bad nourishment. Ninthly, The campaign of 1818 -destroyed 450,000 men. Total, 5,800,900 men in ten years, which is half a million annually:— This calculation does not include a great number of premature deaths, caused by the accidents of war, by fright, despair, &c. We have 4-mired a supply of Brussels Papers this morning. They contain nothing definitive from Vienna ; but the intelligence which they convey from other parts, confirms us in our belief that the fati of Poland and Saxony'is decided de pcto, if not et , jure. The latter kine,dorn is nut only c.ecupied by Prussian but by Rt. sian troops : the latter, it is tune, are in the ray of Prussia, but there is an evident under standing between the two Courts on th, subjecr, and perhaps it would save much discu.:sion at Vienna, and Lring matters to a rur: speedy, it not to a more satin actory- conclusion, ;t Prussia and Russia were mo.fuly to declare their intention. The enlightened part of Europe, and more particularly the inhabi tants of Poland and Saxony, have a right to coo. plain that this state of suspense is at least injurious to'their national praperiti, and detracts from their individual happiness-. V!ZNNA, JANUARY 3, The King of Wurtemberg lett not only very %Tain t able pres:nts behind him, but also a very interesting letter to his Majesty the gener. , ll Emperor Francis, in which he thanks him for the many proofs of frie.-,d ship which he has rectivtd, and declares that nothin; but the advice of his ph)sicians, who think it dan gerous to prolong his stay, aka so many attacks, could have induced him to resolve on his departure ; that he left the Crown Piince to manag: the affairs still to be settled ; and that he will, for the future, chew to the House of Austria, in whose greatness and prosperity he sees that (if Wurtemberg, the same at tachment which he thought himself bound to evince to the present system as soon as it became the pre. vailing one. or a , has teeeilred from the.sovereign 4f feriae !UM flhah, the insignia, sis in'irsatiends, 9f the • :Order of the Supt. and. of that of the Liort.soo - oc casion of the peace concluded with Persia.

BRUSSXI.3, JANUARY Is. Baron Hoogbvbrst, the Mayor of this City, gave, the day before yesterday, a magnificent tete, at which were assimbled all the distinguished personages, and foreigners of a certain rank now ar Brussels. His Royal Highness the Hereditary Prince of Orange, the Minister, and among the English of distinction, the Decks of Richmond were present. The number of persons admitted was three hundred. The most perfect order and agreeable dignity, which reminds ns thatt'Bruisels was formerly the sekt'of a Court, and that exquisite politeness, the memory of which WAS beginning to be lost, embellished this fete, which is : the finest and most elegint that has taken 'place here for along time. Theban lasted till five in the morning. Other fetes are preparing for the carnival, and the pleasures which bad Red from the noise of arms, ;red from a gloomy tyranny, return with the hopes of approaching happiness.

There Is a talk of convey ing Bonaparte to Scotland, where an estate will be assigned for his residence, and the same annual sum be paid him as is fixed by the treaty of Fuutainblea a." Yesterday, a Chapter of tho Order of the Bath held at two o'clock, at the PniKe's C . a tber, West minster.

PrixLvaL, by her marriage with Colonel CARR, has at-ually become a &Night's eensioani.m of the niw Order of the: Bath. The Earl of PORT:NO(ITH is the Noble Peer alluded to in our paragraph of yesterday, as having a petition preferred against him by his own brother for mental incompetency. His Lordship is now 47 years of age, and had been married to his late Countess, who was advanced in years at the time of her marriage, 1,5 years previously to her Ladyship's decease. His Lordship, about a tsvalvementh ago, married his preens young Countess., His brother and prestimp lin heir has now, for the first time, preferred his pe tition to the Lord Chancellor, against the compe tency of the Earl's mind. Tuesday se'nnight. the infant son of the Marquis and Marchioness of DONEGALL was christened at Orme-tu. His Lordship's names are Breenau AL GERNON. A letter from Lisbon, which reached us ye s terday, of the 30th of Dr cember, mentions, that on the pre ceding Monday, the Consul had invited all the Brj e tisir merchants in that city to proceed in a body fin the purpose of waiting on Mr. CANNING, to congratu late him on his appointment as Ambassador at the Portuguese Court.- General RIALI, who was severely -wounded an 1 taken prisoner by the Americans, arrived las week in a carrel at Rochelle. Having been sent 300 miles up the ceuatry ; he applied for permission to ratun to Croada on parole, which was refused, but was imme. diately allowed to return to Europe. The following anecdo:e is chrrracteristic of the good nature of the King of Bavaria :—His Majesty had purchased a picture of V..ndyke's, for which he paid 600 ducats. Some days after, the picture dealer said, that if the other Sovereigns had s:ren they would certainly have given him more. The King of Bavaria, informed of this, strewed .he picture to the Emperor Alexander when he was one d iy visited by that Monarch, and asked him what he valued it at, and what he would give for it. • The Emperor having offered 1,000 ducats, the King accepted the mor.ey, and gave him the picture, but he sent. 409 ducats to the dealer.

FERLEN ms made her first appearance this season, the Ballet 'of the Cat of Bagdad was .brought out. Ous Readers will recollect that this tam was originally composed by M. A. Wirers, for his benefit, two years ago. It is ROW revived by him as Ballet-Master; and his celebrated Father, who has been so renowned in France for the last 30 years, and who made such a sensation when here, 22 years ago, made his 'appear ance. To all the veteran spectators who remem bered this unparalleled dancer to the vigour of his age. his re-appearance was a matter of lively interest. — Hie first approach wee truly elegant. He ip.,s244lted with an enthusiastic burst of welci.me, and his rest. rence of thanks was polished_ and courtly. His po sitions were taken and preserved with sotidiiy i—ino trembling of age, no symptom of decayed powers ; he performed the most difficult and graduated changes of posture seemingly without effort, and with con summate art, the result of which was the ortiversal approbation of the Theatre. It was interesting to see the father, son, and nephrew, (Vesrars) present themselves all at once to the spectators ; all these a - •Thtrable dancers, for the youngest promises to have the legitimate talents of the family. Madame DE CARo also made her first appearance. She is of the Italian school, and consequently more of the Buffs; the* of the more tastefa-style of Paris, in which Ma ileriloilene, MILANI is an adept. Madame DR CARn'S positions are fine, however, and sustained with energy. The Ballet wont of with grcg applAu, 44 • , THE EVENING STAR. LONDON.

Their conduct gives great satisfaction. FRONTIERS OF SAXONY, JANUARY 4. The Administration of the Kingdom of Saxony penetrates deeper into the internal concerns of the country, and strives to ielieve its distressed situation by large advances from the resources of the Prussian Monarchy. We see how the credit of the Whole king dom improves—how the paper money of this coun try, which has so suffered by the War, rises in value 'bow a-rigorous Administration inspires, all pins of the State, and revives order and confidence. it is evi dent that this order which distinguishes the Prussian finances depends very much en the justice and eco nomy of the King. He strictly follows in this point the maxim of his great predecessor, Frederic k 11. who was enabled by this means to effect much, and whose views were so peculiar. Meantime the credit of the country rises, and this is the best eulogium. But for the moderation of the King, it would sanely be possible for the Prussian State to afford the just recompense of their sufferings to the pool. servants of the State, who were driven some years ago froni Po land and South Prussia. • PETERSBURUH, DECEIABIER M.
