• V', -1 - rA. PRIVATE LETTER. HOTEL sea SAISERIN you OESTE'RREICIL JULY 14. We should not have remained so long in Vienna $y three or four days, could we have met • with an agreeable conveyance, for we have seen all the sights, and promenaded the city round and round. A po pulation of two hundred and twenty or thirty thou sand persons is soon reviewed by the lynx-eyed tra veller. Their institutions are not nuenervue, but their baubles are. I was astonished at the splendour and extent of their Crown jewels; they fill fourrooms and . a long gallery. Crowns and sceptres, diamonds and precious stones, of all sorts andsizes—silver and gold, massive and abundant. They have in this jewel house the crown and sceptre and imperial robe worn by Napoleon Bonaparte as King of Italy. These trophies became the spoils of Austria soon after the battle of Leipzic. There is a great simplicity in the construction of Napoleon's crown ; but this sort of bauble, simple or complex, plain or gorgeous, will neither sit easy nor long on the head of tyranny. — The armoury here is far superior and more extensive than our armoury in the Tower, and it is also dis played with even fantastical singularity and taste. The Royal captives from all time are exhibited in the very armour in which they were taken prisoners, and the weapons of war arranged chronologically; haps their great guns are inferior to ours , but their er small arms are more numerous. I had a very interesting day on Saturday. We went to Baden, a bathing place within 15 English miles of Vienna, where arc the Emperor, Empress, Maria Louisa, and young Napoleon. Dining at a tavern, I had in view at intervals and for two hours, young Napoleon and his Mother. He seems a very fine boy indeed, and his mother a majestic and beautiful creature. The Archdukes Charles and John, brothers of the Emperor, were likewise at Baden. Jerome Bonaparte, Ex-King of Westphalia, left Vienna yesterday morning, far Linz, whither he is gone to meet his wife, the daughter-in-law of our. Princess Royal. She is at Stutgardt on a visit to the Queen and Queen Dowager of Wurtemberg, and the ring, her brother. Jerome was on the promenade with hie Aidede-camp for some time on Sunday evening. He has not half that intelligence in his counteaaace which was wor.t to light up the features of him who is at St. Helena. Young Napoleon is, even at his age, •under severe discipline as to educa tion : he has six different masters, besides one super inteadiae; tutor. The boy is exceedingly sharp and acute. The other morning, when passing through the gallery at the Palace (1 had the anecdote from a Gentleman present), he suddenly stopt to observe a soldier on duty, and at once putting himself in an erect position, he said, , g 'think that ts the man, who htiped to put my father in prison." It is thought that the boy is instructed to .cherish the feelings of re venge—sworn like him of Africa at the Altar. But when he learns, as he soon will in Floras, that there is no true victory, but that which is gained wit hold wounding the honour and dignity of the victor— " Bum m'ram esse victoriam, qua salve fide et integre dignitate paraisitur"—his resentment may, , perhaps, be turned into pity and contempt. The Emperor of Austria leads a life, the tenor of which is exemplary and - uniform. Ile always rises early, and dines in his private cabinet alone every day at twelve. An old woman has been his cook from his earliest years. At two he joins the Empress and the Imperial Family at their dinner, but eats. nothing. It is deligh.fill to see the cordiality that seems to subsist am. 1112, all the branches of this family. The palace cf Scheenbrunta where young Napo leon resides, and where his mother likewise remains When in Austria, is truly magnificent. Its gardens are grand and extensive, and preserved in the best order. It was in this palace Bonaparte first saw the portrait of Maria Louisa, which he ordered to be taken down and sent to Paris. The Emperor and his were at that time in Hungary. Bonaparte always resided at Schoenbrunn whilst at Vienna. Nothing so offends a ;Hungarian as to call him a fre,nan. Mutual taunts, in the absence of cause for blows, keep the feud slice. Ile sayi, the Germans nee poor, but we are rich--the Germans have neither gald nor silver, but vile paper money, we have plenty both of gold and silver, and no paper-gooney I' This compliment extends not only to Germany, but to Germanized-England. Notwithstanding the fatherly affection of the Em peror of Austria towards his people, there is a secret persuasion among . many of them, that a stronger pre lection obtai'hs in the royal bosom towards Italy. 'L's is natural enough, as the family is Italian, and the present Emperor was born at Florence. Sir Humphrey Davy and his Lady are in Vienna. Sir Humphrey has just returned from a short tour into Hungary, whither he has been to make some mineralogical experiments. He brought letters from our Regent to the father of the Austrian Ambassa dor, Prince Esterhavy. la the absence of Lord Stewart, Mr. Gordon, bro ther of Lord Aberdeen, is the Minister here, though be has left Vienna within a few days. No Francis papers circulate in Germany. I snp. pose they are prohibited. English pa are too ex pensive, and the cent of theta, even af the circulation were permitted, would act as a prohibition. DREADFUL. PAIRICIDE.—EXtratt of a letter from Vienna, dated July 15 :—" A dreadful parricide has been committed in one of the first noble houses in the county of Pest. The wretched criminal, a youth of 1.3 years of age, seems to have grown up in every kind of excess, and expressed to his father two years ago his intention to shoot him. He was put into con fi cemeat, and having now just returned from his con finament to his father's house, a quarrel again arose' between the father and the son. The latter went into Isis room; his father followed, but had scarcely reached the does ' when the son fired a double bar relled gun, which wounded the father in the breast, and stretched him on the ground. A steward, who had been present at the first dispute, and had also gone into his room, 14stened to the spot, when the son discharged the : .and barrell ;it wounded his dying father in the head, and also the steward in the arm. Thereupon the 'Murderer shut himself up in his room for two days, and did not open the door till it was represented to him, that he, as the present pos- Lessor of the essate, had various orders to &a. As saon as he came out lie was seised and deli iered over to justice; THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. NEXT TUESDAY LOTTERY.

Our Minister Secretary of State for the Department of Foreign Affairs is charged with the. etecution of this ordinance. " St. Cloud, July 24, 1818. (Si o ned) . : " Louts." The Baron VattoxxEs is gentrially understood to be attached to the Ultra Royalist Party, and if po ular rumour may be credited, he was one of those who signed the Memoir to the Allied Powers against the removal of the Army of Occupation. The dis grace into which he hag now fallen, is, in all proba• bility, connected with this or some other machination of the party. The affair of the conspiracy remains without any farther elucidation. The Journals keep descanting about it, but in such a style of courtly, unmeaning jargon, that we should run a risk of nauseating oar Readers were we to venture any extracts from them. The Journa: des Maires (the Paper of M. de CAzE) says, and all the other Journals repeat the saying, that every attempt at revolution must be impracti cable between two such grand palladiums as legiti macy and the Charter. They appear to have forgot that there is such a passage in the history of Prance as the Hundred Days. Where were Legitimacy and the Charter then? Taking their flight out at one end of France, while BONAPARTE and Despotism were entering at the other. It would give us great satisfaction indeed to be assured that the Revolu tionary spirit, which has so long made a prey of France, has at last exhausted its fury; but nothing could tend less to persuade us of this fact, than to find it announced under the sanction of authority, in such vapouring and delusive terms as these. If the Journals can honestly assert, as we hope they are able to do, that since the return: of the Bout bons the people of France have been made freer and hap pier than they were before ; or even this much that the bases-of greater freedom and happiness in time to come have been securely laid, they will as sert what is of-a thousand times greater consequence to the stability of the existing Government, than either its Capetian descent, or that thing of an um brella, commonly called the Charter. Great activity is said to prevail in the French corn. mercial ports. At Bourdeaux a number of ships are loading for England, Guadaloupe, Martinique, &c. From Bayonne a number of vessels are about to sail for England, Portugal, and Spain. The Hippomene, a vessel of 400 tons, just launch.d at Nantes, sails next month for New Orleans. The following are other extracts: PAPAS, JULY The Duke de Feltre had yesterday the honour of paying his court to his Majesty, and also to Madame and the Princes. Yesterday morning the King transacted business successively with the Count de Cazes, Minister of the General Police, the Count Corvetto, Minister el Fi nance, and the Count de Pradel. The King after wards went to Malmaison. On the 29th his Majesty will preside at a Council of Ministers at St. Cloud. Lord Cochrane, who arrived a'. Calais on the,2lst inst. will stop a few days at Boulogne, and then re pair to Paris. It is said, in letters from Rio Janeiro, that the pre tended daughter of Pichegru has fixed her residence at that place. On Friday the thermometerat the Observatory, in a northern arpzct, at half-past twelve, rose to 28 de grees, according to Reaumur's scale, which had nut happened at Paris for ten }ears.

The report that the King would give a r.ew con stitution to the Duchies is without foundation. The Committee employed on that labour is dissolved. MADRID. JULY 14. On the 3d Instant, the Council of Castile ordered the publication of a circular of the first Secretary of State, on the subject of the plague at Tangiers, or dering the most rigorous enforcement of the regula tions for preventing its introduction into Spain. CADIZ, JUNE 50. The letters received from PortoCabello come down to the 6th of May, and contain the following news : On the 17th of April Don Raphael Lopez attacked Bolivar, who was encamped at Los Toros, with 700 horse ,and 350 foot ; he killodloo of the enemy, and mule a number of prisoner s, including many. officers, and all the infantry. We are assured that the rebel General Torres is among the number, and also Sil- Tester Palacios, lately arrived from the P.minsula, l and the Aide-de-camp and companion of Bolivar.— It. is even suspected that Bolivar himself may be among the dead, for nothing has been heard of him since this action, which has left in our power 25 loads of ammunition, 400 horses, two flags, besides lances and muskets. Our loss amounts only to 10 men ; but we have to regret the brave G,lonel Lopez, who was killed by a ball at the commencement of the action. On the 20:h of this month l'acz was completely rated in the neighbouthoc•d of Cogede and San Oarlei, after an obstinate battle, in which it is esti mated he lost more than 1000 killed. We took 1500 horses or mules, muskets, lances, and all their equi-' page. Brigadier Torre, who commanded in the action, being slightly wounded in the leg, Btigadier Correa succeeded him, and pursued the fugitive rebels. Para was shot in the belly, and was carried off in a hammock. The killed on our side are Colonel llar and a Captain. Colonel Bawza was severely wounded in the neck. After the battle, a sanguinary chief of the rebels, called Rangel, was found dead on the field. Cumana and Barcelona are free, since Marino has been routed by Xemcnes, who has died in consequence of a wound in the leg. General Mo rino is almost completely cured of his wound, and he is preparing to resume the command in the field. Another account of the action, in which Brigadier Torre commanded, states that the Rebel force con sisted of 1500 horse and two battalions of infantry, of from seven to 800 men. Torre charged with the bayonet. The enearay's infantry received us within, half pistol shot, but were soon abandoned by their cavalry, which were attacked by ours, and this de cided the battle on all points. The total loss of the rebels is more than 1000 men. Ours is 100 killed and wounded. This important victory decides the fate of Venezuela. A letter from Caraccas, dated April 7, say;—" We are now tranquillised, for all the forces assembled by Bolivar, in order to enter here, have been dispersed by oar troops. This victory, and the arrival of 2,000 ad litional troop!, part of whom are cavalry, I render the execution of Bolivae9project,. impossiLle, particularly as he has lost many foreign officers in the skirmishes." i 1 4 1 . —fi , , .

From an estimate which has been carefully made of 'the damage done by the late overflow of the wa ters of the Bagnes, it appears to amount to upwards of 1,10),759 Swiss francs, (89,8591. 18s. English sterling). The enormous amount of the damage will not appear surprising, when it is considered that the inundation overrun, in two hours, a space of eight leagues, and that the body of water was so great that even in the Plain of Martigny, it covered tl:e whole to the depth of no less than eight feet. - BRESLAU, JULY 12. According to letters from Warsaw, the Emperor of Russia, during his tour through the southerh pro- vinces of this vast Empire, had several military con ferences, in which the system of defence for Russia, on the side of Turkey, was discussed. We are as sured that it has been resolved that the timber cf fortified places on that frontier shall be reduced, and their fortifications demolished ; while the works of such as are to be preserved shall be repaired and considerably extended. The cities of Tutaspol and Ackerman are mentioned as among these which are to be demolished. Bender, Coczym, and kmael, are' to be presers It is not yet known what decision has been come to relatise to Ockschakoff, whose fortifications have continued in a state of ruin ever since that place was taken by assault by the Russians. For the present, the greatest tranquillity prevails along the whole of the Russian frontier towards Tur key, and there is every reason to expect that the ne goeiations with which M. de Strogonoff is elit:rged at Constantinople ss ill have a happy result. . Accounts have been received in Town direct from La Guayra to the 1 WI of May, being later Ly eight days than those which our Readers will find noticed under the head of Cadiz, in our Extracts from the French Papers. Without entering into any particu lars of the state and respective positions of the con tending Armies, they all mention the ascendancy of 'the Royalists in the Caraccas as a received fact; and that commerce is reviving in' all quarters in conse-1 quence of that situation of affairs. That General Monitto has not followed up his victories over the Independents to a degree that might have bccu ex pected, is explained by the circumstance of the late wound he received, which disabled him from action ; and his not being able to place sufficient coned once in any of his Generals to entrust them v.ith the command. Letters dated Monte Video, the 11th and 12th of April, state, that " the Government of . linenos Ayres had marched a diviska of about '2OOO men, under the command of BA LCARCEL, to attack and destroy the force which ARTIGAS commanded at Itatadaitle Santa Fe, which expedition was completely routed and defeated by the force of ARTIOA3. *BALCA ACYL haVing left his artillery and baggage behind liiili , re treated, with only 700 men, to St. Nicolay; aliont 50 leagues distant from the capital. To' this information ;is added, that the people of Santa N. have declared itliettsselves against those of Buenos Ayres ; that the troops of BELCRANO, Laving h►d, 1 Guemes, which was occupied by a body tricts, where, it is also said, lIIILGISANO and that this force having united with had prepared to oypose itself to the G Buenos Ayres."
