it is in3Assibto4...fr6a..lol*4 that has ret trans+ eithariaiwerthrone the medium of the Con tinental Journals, tq girds 'ail precise idea of the real state of affairs. According to the accounts published in the latter, Austria and Englabd are said to draw together on the questions relating to Saxony and Po land ; while Russia and Prussia take another side.— On these questions, France, it is said, supports Aus tria and England; but on the questions of Naples differs from them. Spain, Portugal, and Sweden, are in most questions said. to be with France. Bavaria, it is stated; agrees with Austria and France; but Wurtemberg has ...hanged his policy, and now attaches himself to Rus sia and Prussia, opposing in consequence the restora tion of the King of SAXONY. We have already men tioned, that , smarriage is in contemplation between the Hereditary Prince of WURTEMBERO and a Rus sian Princess. The. King of BAVARIA is said.to have signed alirontr ef Alliance with Austria, and the King of ',natatorium, who was about to qUit Vienna, a Treaty off' Alliance with Prussia. We • have thus merely a statement 4 differences, without any indi. cation of a probabintrof abeir adjust tut.

Instead, therefore, of any approximation to a final agreement upon the points in discussion at Vienna, every account . from thenee serves to remove us still farther from the wished for object. We learn, however, from Turin, that the Congress at Vienna had cot= to one decision, which probably will not prove very satisfactory to the Genoese, it being stated that official intelligence had arrived at Turin, annonneing that on the 14th ult. a protocol was signed by the respective Plenipoten tiaries, by which Genoa is finally ceded to the King Of SARDINIA. Some of the Vienna letters speit with great con fidence of the resolution of the Emperor ALEXANDER to assume the title of Km° Of POLAND, and assert with equal confidence that the Xing of Pnunsa will have Saxony. The expected marriage between the Archduke CHARLEIi44 the sister of ALEXANDER may have smoothed some dilferencis of opinion between the two Emperors ; evident that im portant disCussions must take place before a final at rangemeat can take place. • . A Norway Paper, .puhlished in the Danish . lan_ guage, comprehends iotne further notificatiiins of thv Constitution formed in May, .when she declared her. set independent, but bearitag a near resemblance to it. The Paper contains an introduction, stating generally the authority over the two Kingdoms as vested in the reigning Sovereign of Sweden. This is followed by a recapitulation of the principal Articles of the former Constitution, classed under the respective heads, of Religion, the Royal Family, the Diet, Commerce, &c and two new Articles are super•added, by the one of which a National Bank is to be established exclu. sively for Norway—and by the other it is provided, that the flag for the purposes of tretde shall be distin guished as the ancient Norwegian banners ; but that the flag for the concerns of war shall be those of Norway and Sweden united. The fundamental law is then recognized in a short letter from the Swedish Commissioners, in which they accept the Constitution in the name of their Monarch ; and the whole is closed by a Declaration of the Line of Succession, which is determined in favour of JOHN CHARLES BRRNADODER and OSCAR his son, on the demist of the present oc. cupant of the throne. If we are to credit adiices from the Florida., it was very probable that the British expedition to New Orleans would arrive so as to be enabled to intercept the return of General Jackson; but if any means of escape were left to him, it must have beep by the '.nods of the interior country. The force tinder his 'rders was of an irregular description, but probably amounting to 8,000 men. The British troops, now .opposed to be on the shores of the Mississippi. wonld :each the numerical strength of 10 or 12,000 men.— The communication between New Orleans and Pen ' acola is principally by water, which will considerably facilitate any operations that the 'British Commander may contemplate in that direction. The following is an extract from a letter of the Commander .of the Moseow; which has arrived at Liverpool : " On the 7th November the American army took possession. of Pensacola, when I received orders to make the but of my way to the Havannah. At this time the Seahorse frigate was 6 riaZ upon the American army : we being in the way of the shot, I was compelled to slip my stream cablo,and to drop out of the way, and with the assistance of the men of war, we got to stn on the 9th November, with the loss of our stream wiebor, cable buoy, and buoy rope, and in the passage to the Havana's!' was chased by a Carthagenian privateer, but fortunately escaped, Iran the ship's appearance and sailing." A valuable interchange has been made at the eastern and western extremities of the globe. The Maranham Cotton, cultivated so abundantly in the Brazils, has been transplanted into the East Indies, and the experiinent has been attended with great success. Under the patronage of the Prime Minister, ARAUJO, a number of tea plants with Chinese gar& ners have been imported into the Brazils, and the plantations formed under their inanigement afford every prospect of a rich harvest' frown that important vegetable.

They go from this island. as we suppose, to Jamaica, where they will be j oined by the troops that have been lately acting in the Chesapeake, and probably by some from England.— In confirmation of our conjectures, we hear this morning, by the Admiral's tender, thatVice•Admiral Sir ALEXANDER COCHRANE, in the TONNANT, of 84 guns, is now at Basseterre, Guadaloupe. He has touched there on his way from the coast of America to Jamaica ; the troops have probably gone direct for the latter Island. This force, there can be little doubt, is destined to act in the Floridas and Louisiana 'during the winter. They will probably land at the mouth of the Mississippi. It will come upon JONA..

A great number of transports have been discharged out of the Government service this week; in conse quence of nearly all the stores having been brought home from the Continent, in which service they have latterly been employed.

The *deices from the coast abound with losses stn. tuned during the late gales. The John, of transport, bound to Gibrakar, with provisions, was wrecked qn Tuesday se'nnight off Dover. She sprung a leak on the Saturday preceding, and foundered On Tuesday.. -Seventeen men, including the Captain, perished, and only three men came alive to shore on .spars.--In the course of the last week several vessels have 'put into the port-of Hull for repairs of damages, got in the late gales. Several others have put into Yarmouth on a similar account. . The Montreal, ALEXANDER, for Jamaica, that was on shore on the Inch Green, near Port Glasgow, was got olf on Wednesday se'nnight, with little damage. An unfortunate accident took place on the night pre vious. The boats having broke loose from the vessel, and their use being imp grunt in assisting to get her off (which was to be tried with that night's tide), .Wsa BLACK. a fine young man, second mate, adven turously stripped himself, jumped into the water, and endeavoured to reads them, but in the attempt was drowned, without the crew being able to render burs the smallest assistance. His body was found next morning ; one of his legs being considerably drawn up, and the night intensely cold, it is supposed he was seized with a cramp. On Saturday last, the Industry new steam boar, which had arrived at. Glasgow the preceding night, sunk at the Breomielaw quay, and the water now runs over her deck. This accident was so unexpected that same of the hands who were blow, with difficuky escaped. Nearly 400 bags et shutnac and l6hogsheads of sugar are on board, none of which has yet been got out, and no attempts have yet been made to raise the vessel, the river being much swollen. . • • INTERETLNGCAAK.---1:1 the night of Wednesday se'nnight, a foreign vessel was wrecked on the Sands, a shdrt distance from the Bathing-houses, at Freiston Shore. The vessel is a Dutch schuyt, named the Twee.Gebroders, but was on a voyage from East- Friesland to London, with a cargo of about thirty last of oats : having sustained damage in the late storn.s, and being'desirous cf taking shelter in port, the Captain (whose name is Thresia) on the afternoon of the above day, about three o'clock, when off Dun stan Light-house, on the coast of Nolfolk, went on shore in his boat, wish two men, the whole of his crew, in search of a pilot, leaving the schuyt in charge of two seamen, passengers, and leaving his wife also on board with them. He Loan met with a pilot named Fox, and engaged him, but could not get him then to venture on board, notwithstanding the offer of liberal terms, and of paying two other men to assist in managing • the boat. The Captain and his men then determined to go back to the vessel without the pilot, but, through the darkness of the night, could not find their {coat, and were obliged to return to the town, where they remained till morning. Early on Thursday morning, however, they set off with the pilot, but to their surprise and dismay could see nothing of the schuyt. The Captain and men then walked to Lynn, and there accidentally met with some fishermen belonging to Freiston, from whom they heard of the fate of their vessel, when they immediately left Lynn, and made the best of their way a) Freiston Shore : there the Captain learnt ,chat his wife had Ir.:en found dead in the cabin, with scarcely any thing but her night-clothes on ;—.4- is aapposed that she had been suffocated by water which had washed into the vessel, but of that thereas ILO certainty. There is reason to believe, as there was no other boat with the schuyt, that the two passen gers left in care of it must have been washed off the deck, and drowned. They were seamen who had served on board English men of war, and were going from Oldenburgii to Loudon to receive their prize money. The Captain stated, that his wife wore rings in her ears and on her fingers; but, from these and other things of value being missing, it is believed that some person or persons must have pluudered the body and wreck. The deceased, whose name WAS Maria Thresia, was a fine young woman, about 27 years of age, ,and had,been married. only eight months. An Inquest was held on Ler body on Zia turdAy se'anight, at the Anchor Inn, at Frciston Shore, when no mark of violence being found.on it, . and it not being ascertained how she came by.her death, the Jury brought in their verdict that the said Maria Thresia was found dead on board of the said schuyt, but how or by what means she came by her death did not to them appear. . . The mill belonging to Mr. PA [MN, situate at Ten terden, has of late been several times robbed of quan tities of flour, &c. On Friday last, Parton and his grinder were determined to lay wait for the mis creants, and secreted themselves in the millfor that purpose, armed. About twelve o'clock three men entered the mill, it is supposed by false keys, and were in the act of filling their sacks with flour from the trough, when they espied Parton and his man, whom they attacked, and a desperate conflict ensueu. Parton attempted to fire his pistol at one of the rob bers, but unfortunately it missed ; the robber then knocked Parton down, and attempted, 'with a, ln. strument, to put out his eyes; the grinder seeing his master in that perilous situation, gave the robber a severe cut across the legs with his sabre; another came up, knocked the grinder down, and "attempted to take the sabre from him, but in the act he cut off two of the robber's fingers. The grinder getting up, found his master in the same situation, with the rob her upon Itim, whom he immediately &id at—the contents of the pistol lodged in his body ; the other two then made their escape. The, robher who was shot, and whose name was Hart, they conveyed to Tenterden Town, for surgical assistanee, - 41urhe died in about eight hours; before he expirl. discl.)sed the names of his accomplices, Brignai inaWge, with others, amounting to eight in' ninba, aid we' trust and hope, from the great exertions' mw making, they will, ere long, be brought tdfcthilign. punishment. 3MI'I'IIFIELD MARKET, *MIA KY 6.
