The fate of Count Las Casas is at length decided Since his arrival in our city, he has been constantly guarded by a Prussian Commissioner, he is pow going to be placed under the protection of Austria which grants him an asylum in its dominions: bu his health has suffered so much, that he is not only unable to travel, but even his life is thought to be it 1 , _ ,danger. All the inquiries th .t have been made haul n l,leil i m the discovery of the least ground for re proach against M. Las Casas. The uneasiness whicl his appearance in Europe has excited, is explainer by the very name of the man whose friend he openly professes himself to be, and who, like Hannibal, wil I not cease to inspire alarm till he ceases to exist. I has been thought proper on the Continent, to she' the more rigour towards M. Las Casas, as the Britisl Government was severe in the reception it gave him it was to be supposed that such rigorous measures in .. - dicated a culpability that was very well proved.— It seems, however, that his attachment to Napoleoi is entirely personal, and wholly independent of poli tical reasons. It is affirmed that M. Las Casas great!: desires to return to England, notwithstanding th bad reception he met with in that country, in orde to be able to plead the cause of his friend, and to ob tain for him a milder treatmeni is the country wher he is to terminate his days. . . • BRUSSELS, JANUARY 28. A letter from Cadiz of the Bth of this month con tains the following passage s--" A vessel which az rived here yesterday frem the Havanstah, announce: for instance, the news, that the celebrated Chief Mina, who was taken prisoner by the Royal troop arrived at Mexico on the 10th of November, wher he was guarded with the greatest rigour till his fat should be decided on." For some days past a number of soldiers dismisse from the English service have passed through th city. They are for the most part Germans, who has beets landed at Ostend, and are returning to thei own homes. HANOVER, JANUARY 19. The Princess Augusta, bride of his Royal Hie new the Duke of Cambridge, employs part of hi time in perfecting herself in the English languag . His Royal Highness the Duke left this city yesteroli for Cassel, attended by General Von Zink And Cour 6 • sailor Ven Campen. The marriage, it is said, wi take place on the 24th of February. The plan fc enlarging and improving the Royal Palace havin been approved of by his Royal Highness, will toe be carried into execution. CONSTANTINOPLE, DECEMBER to.

We have this day given a copy at length of ti Answer or Protest made by General AURY to t 1 summons of the American squadron to evacua, Amelia Island. This document seems to us to be we written ; and with considerable judgment—except i ':. the concluding sentence. AURY ought to have agree to no evacuation ; but if unable successfully to of 4 pose the' force sent against him, should have sorrel , dered himself and party as prisoners of war. i To us it appears impossible that any valid argt i went can be advanced to justify this capture by ti United States. Now that they have obtained posse lion they hold Amelia Island by no right whatever- neither by Treaty.nor conquest. The right to o cupy in virtue of conquest always pre-supposes •! state of warfare between the captors and those wi have been ejected ; but this not being the fact in t/ present case, any party, not even at war with tl United States, has the same right now that the Am rican Commodore had, to command the present occ piers to evacuate the place,—if the force accompan , \ ing such summons be sufficient to compel compliant Britain has precisely the same right tp occupy Am tia Island at this moment, that the United Stites Iv on the 22d of December last. • Indeed the North American system seems to i quire, at this time, some official elucidation ': and we mistake net very great!y, it will pot be long th one or more of the Governments of Europe will able to avoid demanding some satisfactory explat tion. It appears by the American Papers that a : . Pies of Legislative Acts were secretly passed in Cc greys, as far back as the :year 1811, to enable t I PRESIDENT -- " under certain contingen c ie s ," t o t o 1 1 possession of West Florida, and other territories, lyi , to the South of the State of Georgia.—These cont gencies are specified to be arrangements with t local authorities of those territories, or the atteir of a foreign Government to occupy them. The pow 6 thus vested in the head of the American Governms has lain lormant for seven years, and is now prom, gated, for the fit st time, because " the injunction 6 secrecy under which they were passed, has long sir • been removed." 1 From the subjoined extract, with respect to Buer i • • st „ . 4 , . • at,r„. s . • .. ity!,°•,?;`,„ ll- k 4 v AIN . !' . , it .•11.. a . • ~,, Ayres, it will be seen that the Supreme-Director, PUERREYDOS, has retired on account of bad health : " NEW YOBS, JANUARY 10. Fame Buenos Avaas.—lt appears by a letter from Buenos Ares, dated 6th September, that'the Supreme Director, Puerreydon, had retired from the Government for two months, and had,gone to his country seat, being in bad health. Brigadier-General Asquenega had been appointed in his place. Con gress have not dared to re-elect Puerreydon for three years, as he asked, notwithstanding the motion was made in public Session two months past. " The Portuguese hold possession of Montevideo, but male no progress. They have established a House at Buenos Ares, and are publicly supplying Montevideo with provisions and all kinds of muni tions of war; thus enablingthem to hold out against the brave General Artigas ; while the British Govern ment, to spew their disapprobation of the invasion of the Portuguese, have ordered all their Officers in the Portuguese Service, employed in the Expedition, to retire. The patriotic General J. M. D. Carera, is said to be alive at present, under the protection of General Artigas, the moment not having yet arrived for him to return with safety and advantage to his beloved country, Chili, which has passed from a state of sub jection to the Royal Forces of Old Spain, into a state of no less absolute and unqualified subjection to the policy and bayonets of Buenos Ayres." A Flemish Mail arrived last night. It is now de cided; that LAS CASA'S is to be placed under the pro tection of Austria. It seems to us that Austria wishes to have thus the means of learning whatever NAPO. L.SON may have wished to communicate through this agent ; nor is this surprising, considering the ties.by which , the interests of his posterity at least, are united with that Power. The extracts are give* in another column. ' This morning we received German Papers to 1 latel date, from which we learn that at the Leipsick fair, which has just ended, there was a great demand for British Manufactures, which gained a decided supe-' riority. Almost every account that reaches us from Germany, shews that the public mind is far from being in that state of quiet which promises a'Sat the rest. Every where the people complain ihat the representative Constitutions that were promised them, have Seen either withheld altogether, or• so evaded as to render them nugatory. The prospects which this holds out to Europe are, in our minds, la no means consolatory. The following are extracts from the printed German Journals: FRANKFORT, JANUARY 35. We may hop. to see the military affairs ofthe Con federation soon arranged. The resolution on this subject by the Diet, in its third Sitting, held on the 19th of this month, determines that the necessary in structions shall be demanded respecting the proposal of Austria, in order, if possible, to make a declara. tion on this subject,in the inter val of four weeks. LEIPSIC, JANUARY tn. Madame Krudener is still here ; the Government treats her with much regard ; it is true she has an Agent of the Police at her lyntse to hinder those from visiting her who have not a permission from the President of the Police, but she goes out at her pleasure, and does what she thinks proper. Baron Berkheim, her son-in-law, arrived three days since from Moscow, but nothing has transpired respecting the news which he has brought. Many persons who have had an opportunity of seeing Madame Kru dener, contradict the assertions of Professor Krug, respecting the Holy Alliance. - Our fair is now ended. It has been in general a good one, particularly for English manufactures. The Saxon cotton manufactures were not so successful. STUTTGART), JANUARY 17, People's minds here are generally employed on our future organization, and on the guarantees which have been granted us by the King, or which are go ing to be granted by his Majesty. An opinion which is becoming very general is, that the rejection of the Constitution, or Social Com pact, by the majority of the Assembly, ought to be considered as null and void, because this Constitution was not discussed ; because the Wurtemberg Diet did not examine it in its several parts, and did not debate upon the articles of it. It was only upon the Report of a Committee, without previous examina tion, without deliberation, that the whole Constitup tion was rejected is foto. It is in this point of view that it is proposed to correct the defect in the Act of the last Diet, by call ing a new Assembly of Deputies, to which the plan of the Constitution will be again presented, to be dis- i cussed by it according to the usual forms. The plan of the Constitution will probably dader.l go some modifications, which the Government itself will make in it, and which will be conformable to' the spirit which has manifested itself in this particu lar in our country. These modifications will regard chiefly the formation of two Chambers, which seems to be given up, the Statute of the Nobiity, and some other things, discussed in the course of Idl7, in nu merous writings and pamphlets. We may say, that within these two years we have made great progress in Constitutional education, and that all classes of citizens in our kingdom busy them selves with questions of politics, finance, &c. &c. GHENT, JANUARY so. A private letter from Paris says, that" the fil eu ht a of Maubreuil, who has escaped from the prison at has excited no surprise. People do not doubt bk that his flight was facilitated, to avoid the scandal of his confession. It is known that he always persisted in his declarations that very exalted personages had charged him with missions very hostile to the Ex- Imperial Family. The arrest of the gaoler is consi dered as a mere farce, which will lead to nothing. Maubreuil, however, who, by his own account, has accepted commissions to plunder and assassinate, cannot excite interest in any person whatever. He had no great trouble in reaching the frontier, since, by a singular chance, he was brought before the tri bunal of a department which borders on a foreign country." _ Several Ex-Conventionalists hnve been authorized to return to France, though the journals have not announced it. This measure is to be carried further, but an a tacit manner. BRUSSELS, JANUARY 29. The High Court of Justice had to decide this morn ing on the Appeal of the Mayor of the Commune of Hoolede, near Tirlemont, condemned by the Tribunal of Rouvain to two years imprisonment for having bound with his own hands two fiddlers, (their violins too were tied upon their backs) who came on the last day of the Kerinesse to make the inhabitants dance ; but the Court considering the morality of the Mayor, and because there were some circumstances in cite nuation, made use of the faculty given it by the taw, and changed the sentence of two years imprisonment into a fine of 94 florins 50 centimes of the Nether lands, and the costs. The Paris Papers of Friday and Saturday last have arrived. The details of the Recruitment Bill have been the subject of discussion in two additional Sittings of the Chamber of Deputies, and still is the ultimate deter mination upon it postponed. The topics which have, been treated of relate to the mode of regulating the ballot, and to the exemptions from service, on which little has passed which can be of any interest to an English Reader. One of the Members stated to the Chamber, that the effect of the introduction of this' conscription in a new form had been to multiply marriages (with a view to exemption) in every part of France to such an extent that the Civil Officers. could scarcely get through the business of that nature which had been thrown on their hands. This fact he considered to be a complete refutation of tile sup posed lively satisfaction with which, according to the Ministerial Party, the measure had been viewed by the majority of Frenchmen. An extract from the Madrid Papers gives the sub stance of an official communication made on the 31st ult. by General Dow, our Governor at Gibraltar, to the Spanish General Aws, who commands on that quarter of the Spanish frontier. It confirms what we have already heard through other channels, that the plague has extended iu ravages to Bona and Con stantina, and reached to within thirty leagues of Oran. In Algiers, General Dow adds, it still pre vails to such an extent, that on an average 30 indivi duals die of it daily. The DET still continues shut up in the Citadel of Carpar; he has dismissed his Turkish guard,and is surrounded by soldiers whoare all blacks. —Last month the Bey of OnA w was strangled--his chief Officer thrown into a dungeon, and the old Au thorities restored. The new Bey, K.e.ssew, is a Turk, and is supported by a force of nearly three thousand men. General Don concludes with en- Iforcing the necessity of a strict surveillance on the part of the Spanish Authorities, to prevent any com inuricaion of the infection from the African coast. An article under the head of Constantinople, states that although the new DEY of ALotefts had been raised to that dignity by rebellion, it is nevertheless the intention of the Gomm SEIGNIOR to confirm the election, and to send him the customary presents. French 6 per cents. Friday, 66 f. 75 c. We lament to announce the death of the Right Ho nourable the Earl of Ureaft OSSORY, at his seat at Ampthill. This venerable Nobleman was seized with an apoplectic fit, while in the bosom of his family, and only survived the stroke about three hours, to the inexpressible grief of his distinguished relatives, and of all who knew him. Our Readers will see, byl the Report of the Proceedings in the House of Peers, that Lord SIDMOUTH assigned as a reason for post poning his intended motion on the Papers presented by him, the death of this excellent Nobleman, which ' , occasioned the absence of Lord HOLLAND, Lord' LANSDOWNE., and other Members.—The Earldom is an Irish one ; the Barony of Upper Ossory is Bri tish, and was conferred upon his Lordship in 1794. The latter title is certainly extinct, his Lordship hav iog no son ; the former, if it be ndt so, must go to some very distant relative, Gen. FITZPATRICK, who was the only brother of the Earl, having left no male heirs. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE and Lord' HOLLAND are nephews in the female line. By the death of the , Earl, the Lord Lieutenancy of the' . County of Bedford, and the office of Keeper of Rock ingham Tower, in Northamptonshire, become vacant. Sir Sons Awsrairruza, Bart. recently died in Edinburgh of a typhus fever. Of course a vacancy has occurred in Parliamentary Representation. By accounts received yesterday from BelvoirCastle, we are concerned to learn, that the infant son of the Duke and Duchess of RUTLAND is dangerously ill. A funeral sermon was preached on Sunday last, at Lyndhurst, Hants, on account of the death of Mr. ROSE—afterwards 10s. were gives' to every male per son present, agreeable to the will of the deceased. The Spanish Chesnut -tree, under which the unfor-" tnnate Duke of MoNstouru and his party dined be fore the battle of Sedgemore, is still standing in Dil lingtoa Park, near finster. It now measures 26 feet in circumference, and annually produces a large quantity of nuts. BETTING AT TATTRRSALL'S YESTERDAY.
