Tlie papers which they bring afford some curious extracts : a claimant has ipgeared for part of the Island of Elba, and has formally made his demand at Vienna. He is the heir to the ancient House of Psomesso, and why he should be dispos sessed of his inheritance to make room for Monsignor BACCHIOCHI I the husband of BONAPARTIN sister, we know not. The latter will, of course, be most power fully supported by JoAernm, King of Naples, but have . these Worthies any Representative at the Congress ? _HAM:MOH, OCTOBER 14. The preface to the Report of the Committee for the relief of the Hamburghergian Exiles in . Altona, pub- lished by Mr. J. D. Mutzenbecher, concludes thus : 1 cannot conclude this introduction, without parti• cularly mentioning those, who after longer or Shorter suffering, ended their career in Altona, and the num ber of whom, as far as can be ascertained, amounts to 1138. Their duties to the living, the uncertain duration of the distress, and precariousness of their receipts, compelled the Committee to have them in terfed without any ceremony. a The place where these unfortunates repose is a meadow behind Ottinsen. The graves cover much sorrow and misery. What Hamburgher can ever approach them without shuddering and deep emo tion The Members of the late Committee, justly sensible that the manes of the departed deserved respect, and that regard for the survivors required a step to be taken to shew their respect, 'could not for bear expressing, in the proper quarter, their wish that thi4 place may be purchased on account of the city, surrounded . with a pallisade ; and under the name of Burying-ground of the exiled Plarnburghers, be a lasting monument of the dreadful catastrophe, the most of whose victims here repose ; that these ceme teries may not be profaned by application to common purposes, and every trace effaced of their sacred destiaation." GO'. TENBURGH, OCTOBER IS. 'We have official information from Norway, that on Moil Jay last Prince Christian gave in his resignation to the Diet, and on Tuesday morning set off for Lau wig, a.companied by General Haxthausen, and several (Alter of the late ruling members, who, it seems, are determined npt to quit him. Although there was a British sloop of war, the Briscis, Capt. Jackson, waiting to convey the Prince wherever he commanded, yet he refused ite and went to Lauwig, where there was a Danish cutter in readi ness. lie declared he would not go to Copenhagen, but intended landing at Senderberg, in the Belt. It appears that the Members of the Diet agree pretty well, excepting those from Bergen and Dron theim, especially the former, who say they will not submit to be Swedes. The famous Rosincrantz is also preparing to quit Norway—he has sold part of his estates. ROME, SEPTEMBER so. The Duke of Sore has sent M. Vera to Vienna to claim ai the Congress the Principality of Piombino, of which the Duke was deprived in favour of Felix Bacchiochi, the husband of Madam Eliza Bonaparte. The Duch? , comprehends a part of the Island of Elba. HAGUE, OCTOBER 20. His Royal Highness Prince Frederick of Orange is arrived in this town, on his return from England. MILAN, OCTOBER S. An English Courier, who travelled in eight days from Londnn to Genoa, %here he embarked fur, Palermo, has spread 4 report, that in case Poland should be re-established under a Russian Prince, an Austrian Archduke will have a considerable king dom in Italy. The !caresses in Upper Italy are again furnishing with provisions. ANCONA, OCTOBER 3. Dirty <l.ly since the 25th September fresh Neapo. litan troops arrive here, both by sea And 1-insl. Two regiments of.cevalry are st.itionecl at Ase' .i. The town is so crowded with soldiers, that the municipa lity has been obliged to quarter part of them in private houses,. A Proclamation by the Mayor announces that no exceptions can be made. This accumulation of troops, just at the opening of the Congress at Vienna, gives rise to a thousand conjectures. FRANKFORT, OCTOBER 17. We are*assured, upon audioritY that may be de r:acted upon, that !pug JOAffiliq 1 . 6 at this moment tog,iged in negociations.of the highest* importance with the Allied S,,yereigns at the COngress.* OURNAY, OCTOBER 21.

A Hamborgh Mail also arrived this morning, with the following intelligence : BRANDLNBURG, OCTOBER 15. The preparations for the solemn reception of the sovereigns our Allies, at Berlin, ate prosecuted with unabating activity. His Majesty the sing of Den mark is also expected, and will reside at the Palace of Montujon. Letters from Vienna say, that the bonds of friend ship •and esteem between our Ring and his Danish Majesty are daily strengthened. C.WENHAGEN, ocroBER lA. 'The private letters from Norway are all very satis. factory respectiNg the tranquillity that reigns there : the Swedes do every thing to convince the Norwe gians that the Swedish Government is mild and bene ficent, and that the Swedish nation does not merit the hatred which its enemies have tried to excite. The real illness of Prince Christian has hindered his coming here, but he has long given up all attention to business. The post to Norway is not regularly esta blished. The importation to that country has been so great that several vessels, laden with provisions, have re turned hither with their cargoes. VIENNA, OCTOBER 12. The approaching tour of the Sovereigns to Hun garb will be the signal for the departure of the inferior Princes, whose presence is not necessary at the Con gress how long the Sovereigns will remain is un certain, though many considerable persons in their suit seem to be preparing for a speedy departure. According to private letters from Turkey, the Sultan has taken the bold resolution, and sucessfully executed it, to re-establish the Nizam Gedid. It is re membered what great troubles, and what an unhappy catastrophe were caused under Sultan Selim, and at the fall of Buacter, by this plan to place the Turkish army more on the European footing. This time, it is said, to have fully succeeded, with no opposition of consequence. We have received Paris Papers of Sunday and Monday. They now admit what all the world knew, that they are under a Censorship ; but,they nil us that it is only established for the purpose of prevent ing the publication of any this% that might tend to outrage public morals, or which would be contrary to ti.e established law:, the Censors having no influence over the opinions of the Editors, who are personally responsible for their articles. The established law: put the Journals under the con trout of Censors, and however little may be their power over the opinions of the Editors, it is absolute over their articles. There is an obvious - quibble in their statement. Every one knows that no coercion can coutrout a man's opinions, but it may compel hiin to keep his own opinions to himself, as the Paris Editors are obliged to do. The Monitore / subjoins the following observations to the Declaration which we gave yesterday, adjourn• ing the Congress to the Ist November ; " The above declaration, by explaining the motives which have occaiiontd the porposientent of the openi►►g of the Congress at Vienna, is the first pledge of the spirit of wisdom which wilt guide the labours of the assembled Plenipotentiaries. It is, in-, deed, by the maturity of Councils—it is ariddst the calm of the , passions that the tutelary authority of the prbicipks of public law, invol►ed and recognised in the late Treaty of Paris, ought to be " Thus the just expectations of contemporaries will he ful. SP.ed, and in the approaching negociations a result will be ob tained conformable to what the law of nations and the universal law of justiCe prescribe to nations In their concerns whit each other. " At the epoch when the great Powers are leagued to re-intro duce into the mutual relations of States, the respect of property and the security of thrones, no political transactions, except such as are invested with that equitable character, are to be expected. " Europe already accepts this.happy augury, and France, who is not jealous of any advantages which other States may reason ably hope fur, aspires to nothing more than a just equilibrium.— Possessing within herself all the elements of strength and prospe rity, she seeks not for them beyond her limits : e 4. does no: listen to any insinuations tending to establish systems of mere convenience; but resuming the character to which the esteem and the gratitude of Nations heretofore entitled her, she is ambi tious of no other glory than. that of which the guarantees rest on the alliance of power with moderation and justice. It is her wish to again become the prop of the weak, and the defender of the oppressed. " France, in this disposition, will concur in the arrangements tending to consolidate a general peace; ana the Sovereigns who' have to nobly proclaimed the same principles will consecrate with her that durable compact, whirls is to ensure the repose of the world." The concluding paragraph in the above, seems to derive some explanation from a Vienna article, in the Frankfort Papers, which, together with Journals from Brussels, also arrived yesterday. In this it is stated, that TALLEVRAND had presented a Note, pro- testing against the aggrandizement that appeared to be intended for other Powers, and, urging that, as France had consented to the limitation of her frontiers as they were in 1792, the other Powers ought also to agree to the re-establishment of their frontiers as they were in the same year, as a basis of the nagociation. The object of such a note, it is evident, coold only be to embarrass and delay the proceeding's of Congress. It is clear that the policy of the French Government s i.• to pcite jealousy and disunion amongst the lead— ing Continental Powers, in. order to profit by the disagreement, the first step to which weis s lcigain time. • —ln the latter object TAUXIMAIIIV . succeeded ? but it by no items fellows that be r<itl be eqUilly' suocessful in the !Omer. The Afoi‘eur, howe'ver 4 . amidst all its obscutity, and, carefully guarded ex premium) taxingly prong* that sueiiis ;he nature 1 • of his. instructions, particularly with regard to the maritime rights of England. The proceeding' of the Chamber cr Deputies, nn Saturday, were not interesting to an English reader. Ofie Member on behalf of Mr. Bancrit, the reportel on the measure for restoring the property of Erne. grants, complained that some of- the French Jour nals had misrepresented that gentleman's principles. It will be recollected that his amendments in the Royal projet carried with them some invidious appli cations, and we noticed them as such at the time. TALLEYRAND is represented as advocating the cause of the King of SAXONY at Vienna.—This is quite natural. In the mean time the King of Sweden, as he is called in the Vienna Papers (i. e. GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS) threaten Congress with a ♦icir, where General BERTRAND also appears on behalf of BONA PARTE! FRONTIERS OF AUSTRIA, OCT. 12. We are assured that all the Powers will sign a de. claration at the Congress, by which they will mu tually guarantee their territories, and recognise the rights of the Dynasties actually reigning in Europe. AUGSBURGH, OCT. 17. The Gazette of Cassel gates, that it was not the Petition addressed• by the Saxon troops to the Con gress of Vienna in favour of their King, which occa sioned the arrest of Generals Lecocq and Zeskwitz, but a cause still unknown. VIENNA, OCTOBER 11 It is said that Prince Talleyratid interes:; himself greatly is the restoration of the King of Saxony, and that several of the high allied Powers participate in this feeling. In this case all Saxony, on the right bank of the Elbe, will be formally ceded.to Prussia, and the only dispute will be about the possessiou ul Dresden. The King o 7 Sweden, Gustavus Ad.ilphus, quits Italy, and returns to Germany. ROME, OCTOBER 10. The mission of General Bertrand to the Pope has for its object to request the revocation of the sentence of exconimunication issued by his Holiness aga:ost trim %Olen be took possession of the Eeelcsi,,,ticai States. This General will proceed from lOrne to the Congress at Vienna., MADRID, OCTOMR 1.2. General Alava, Aisle-de-camp to the Duke of Wellington during the late war, since appointed Am. bassador from Spain to Holland, has been arrested in this capital, at the moment of his taking leave of his friends to proceed to his destination. He is re proached with having proclaimed the constitution of the Cortes at Vittoria lung ago. Ti.i.. crime is corn mon to many other General Officer;, for the constitu. don was proclaimed in all the provinces cf Spain.— There is probably free-masonry, however, superin duced in the case of M. Alava. M. Cevallos is never tired of writing. He has pub 'l;shed a new pamphlet, addressed to M. .r.icoiquez. The reverend father of the Malaya and M. Ostalaz•za have been silent for a long time. PARIS, OCTOBER 23. A letter from Vienna assures us that the Congress will definitively regulate the lot cf Bonaparte. According to a German Journal, the countries be tween the Meuse and the Rhine will be united to Hol land, and not given to Prussia, as has been said. This day the deputation of Merchants having goods in Bond, again waited on Lord LIVERPOOL, and Mr. LUSHINGTON s the Secretary to the Treasury, when the time for paying the duties was deAttitively ex tended to the 14th of November next. Goods entered for exportation to be allowed one month longer to dear. It was intinuteOn the most Positive terms to the Merchants, that no further time would be grantee. • Last night dispatches for North America were sent from the Secretary of State's Office to Portsmouth, to be forwarded without delay: Sir E. PAKENHAM takes his.departure immediately for America, to assume the command in the room of' the late General Ross. The STATIRA frigate is pre paring for the accommodation' of the Lieutenant- General and his suite. By reference to our Portsmouth Letter of this day, it will he seen that the American sloop of war Wasp is still afloat, and doing more mischief. The Lady of the lamented Hero, General Koss, with her three children, and the General's brother, have some time past resided at Clifton. The malignity of the blantsom party in America has no way abated. In one of the American Papers there is an Address, signed by two Irishmen, calling on all their countrymen in that country to take up arms against the British. The permission of this is another proof of the knoyn humanity of the Anse. rican Government!" • It was humanity, no doubt, that made MADISON call on the Indians to join him in invading Canada; and when they preferred the British alliance, it was humanity which dictated his infamous law against Bris tish soldiers, which, like Roans:mute's decree for re fusing quarter to the measly, was found too bloody to be enforced, It was humanity that made ,him send Geii. JACKSON against the Creek tribes, with orders not only to chastise the savages into present peace, but to make a deep impression on.tbeir future fears. It was hu manity that invented the Torpedoes, and the use of the mangling Bad-shot. It was humanity that burnt the Canadian Wiens, and turned out the miserable in. h.ibitants to perish in winter, and in the wilderness. D OW it is humanity that s en d s i nto t he fi eld . . againit p a. men who, it taken, must necessarily die • the death of traitors. Such is the humanity of those cold;blooded philostiphiets, who for the punishment of the 'United State's, are permitted by Pauetnexce • to rule illat4olUltry BRIGIrTOK, OC7VBER U.

MIDDLEBERG, OCTOBER 15. To-day we had the unexpected pleasure of seeing the first English ship arrive here—it was the \Valiant Henry, Captain Doughty, which having taken in a cargo of rape seed. sailed again for Hull on Friday. The inhabitants ran in crowds to see a sight which they have been so many years deprived ot, and the Dutch and gn g lish flags waving together at the mast head, made them hope that their commerce with Great Britain, so long interrupted by an unhappy war, would soon resume its former activity. BRUSSELS. OCTOBER 19. • The Decree opening the three docks made at Alit. werp under the French Government, fixes that those docks shall be open to the ships and vessels of all na. tions on paying the following duties :—Vessels of 50 to 100 tons to pay 25 centimes,per ton • from 100 to 200 tons 50 centimes per ton k and a bove 250, 75 -centimes per tcn.
