Nothing of tie proceedings of the Congress at Vienna has trans ; at least nothing is known in Holland on the su'• , ject. The Dutch Papers have now ceased to amuse us with prnsp:•cts of the amicable settlement, at Ghent, of our differences with America ; and have now dis covered that General Ross and Admiral COCKBURNE are the Plenipotentiaries with whom only the wicked and short-sighted Rulers of that country must now make peace. It is gratifying to learn, from the above Papers, that ROSTOPCIUN, the heroic Governor of Mos cow, has not been dismissed from the service of his country : he merely regnested, and received permis sion, to retire into a private station, on account of his great age, and ill health. If we might be permitted to express our opinion from the very slender materials which the foreign Journals present to us, we should be inclined to anti cipate a rupture between Sweden and Denmark, and that at no distant period. Sweden demands an in demnity for the expenses of securing Norway by force of arms ; and Denmark, on the other hand, stoutly demands her indemnity for the loss of Norway.— Now that the diplomatic correspondence on the sub ject of the latter country has been published, it really does not appear that Denmark gave the smallest en couragement to the resistance of the Norwegians, and it is therefore with a bad grace that Sweden either withholds the promised indemnities, or de mands payment of the expenses of the short war against Norway. The CROWN PRINCE of SWEDEN, it would appear, does not visit the Congress of Vienna. Perhaps he was not invited, and this may have soured his dispo sition generally towards an amicable adjustment of all differences with his neighbours. The Km of iNtimaik, on the other hand, has been speciallyiin vited to Vienna. We recollect well, that %RNA.- horre, the Crown Prince, while at Brussels in spring, last, took it in high dudgeon that he was not sum moned to Paris to assist the Allies in negociating with the Bourbon Princes, and hung back with his. army on the north bank of the Rhine. LEYDEN, OCTOBER 7. A letter froth Hamburg's of the 28th ult. says, that the teport is confirmed which had been circulated for tome days on Change, " that the English had taken possession of the Island of Bornholm and the im- Vregnable fortress of Christiansoe." The same letter adds, that though the King of Prussia has engaged to endeavour to procure the King of Denmark an in demnity for Norway, besides Swedish Pomerania, it is presumed that Sweden., which still occupies Pome rania, will not give it up till she is indemnified for the expense of obtaining by arms the cession of Nor wan whiCh his Danish Majesty could not effect in conformity to the Treaty of Kiel. PETERSBURGH, SEPTEMBER. 17. His Imperial Highness Prince Constantine k gone to Warsaw and thence to Vienna. The dismissal of Count Rostopchin, Governor of Moscow, was in consequence of his own. request to retire on account of his weak state of health. FRANKFORT, OCTOBER e. Besides the Prince Benevente, there are to be four Plenipotentiaries at the Congress at Vienna, viz. the Duke of Dalhers, Count Alexis and Noailles, Mr. Latour du Pin, and Mr. Lafottrs. tki!GES, :=EPTENILZR 2S. Besides a I.: ittalion of Belgians, and four of Ha nuverians in garrison here, there arrived on Saturday the 35th English regiment of foot, and yesterday the hussars of Bremen and Verde% who are cantoned in our neighbourhood: 803 LE DM, OCTOBEit S. We have this moment had the happiness of seeing his Highness the Prince S•vereign enter this town, amidst the joyful acclamations of the people, and cries of de Long live the Prince Sovereign and the House of Orange 1" HAGUE, OCTOBER 4. His Royal Highness the Hereditary Patlce arrived here on the 23, and leaves us to-morrow, to accom pany her Royal Highness the Princess Sovereign to the Loo. UTRECHT, OCTOBER 4. To•day, at noon, arrived here his Royal Highness .14r P:ince Sovereign, on his way to Loo. [ Dutch,Papers; contain besides very lsng ne t .tillts of she joyful reception of the Prince at Ni nieguen, Arnbeim, &c. His Royal Highness visits the province of Overyssel before going to the 1 - 14zue.] LOWER ELBE, SEPTEMBER SO. Some travellers just arrived direct from the Ha vannah say Chit great doubts were entertained there whether the advantages gained by the Royalists in Spanish Guiana would be of long duration. It seems ti,at the Roy.ilists had taken advantage of the cir turnaance that the main force of the insurgents was ?one towards the Gronoque, to fall in with a superior fOree in Caraecao. Carthagena and Porto Cavalho were still in the hands the insurgents, who, from the former place, were still in communication with the Mexican insurgents. Further accounts from Guiana are expected with impatience at the Ha vannah. BRUSSELS, OCTOBER 4. His Royal Highness left us on the 2d inst. to the great regret of the inhabitants, which was very warmly expressed by Mr. Merex, in the name of the Court of Justice, which had the honour of an :Audi. ence. Mr. Merex noticed all the benefits which the Prince had conferred on the country during his go. vernment. His Royal Highness returned a most gracious aaswer, saying—he would, even while absent, neglect nothing relative to the welfare of Belgium. PRAGUE, SEPTEMBER 25. Our expectation of seeing the Crown Prince of Sweden seems not likely to be fulfilled. Letters from the North say, that his Royal Highness does not go to the Congress, and that the Swedish army is draw ing together in very narrow cantonments. The Active correspondence and exchange of couriers, be.- tween Sweden and England, has been before men tioned. Letters from Ghent to the Bth instant state, that the American Commissioners were assembled on Wednesday, - the sth instant, to receive the answer of the British Plenipotentiaries. It will be recollected that on the 26th ult. the Americans delivered a note to the British Agents, which was received here on the 28th. The same day dispatches were sent from Lon don to Ghent, which of con!se were expected to reach Ghent before the sth of this month, but either they had not arrived by that time, or if received were not conclusive. The notification of this circumstance was of course all that could take place last Wednesday. At this moment there is a great danger of some of the States of Europe, in their exult.ttion at the deli verance they have just obtained from the chains of a remorseless tyrant, running into an opposite extreme, and attempting at this time of day to restore the Li stitutionsof ignorant and barbarous agss—institutions which sunk the Potentates and Nobles of Europe from the high dignity and power which belonged to their rank and situation, and converted them into vassals and slaves to an arrogant, presumptuous and assuming Priesthood. Were not the symptoms vi- sjble, could it be believed that any of the States in Eurcpe (excepting. PETER'S pAtrimony !) should again forge Ecclesiastical fetters for their Kings and Nobles, and once snore transfer the allegiance of their subjects from their rightful Sovereigns to Monks, Priests, and Jesuits ? The Inquisition has again been restored in Spam. The Order of the Jesuits has been re-established, and is organising wherever the Pore can extend his in fluence—and now we learn that the Knights of St• John of Jerusalem are to be reinstated in more than their former power, by ceding to them the Sove reignty of the Seven Islands ! The lonian Islands, protected by Russia, England, And Turkey, re ceived an independent form of Government, and were constituted a Republic. Russia ( which had not the Sovereignty), by the Treaty of Tilsit, ceded them to France ? France was afterwards compelled to eva. 1 cuate Corfu—and now it is proposed to transer them to the Knights of Sr. John. Already the fruits of such folly begin to bud forth in Spain, with every prospect of an abundant harvest. The priest-ridden " beloved Ferdinand" seems de termined to alienate the affections of every man of sense in his dominions. What else could follow but open insurrection against lawless oppression. The weak man, judging by his measures, seems determin ed to leave no other alternative to the brave patriots, who so nobly co-operated with the British for the re storation of the ancient monarchy, but either to be immured in dungeons, as the reward of their loyalty, or to stand up in their own defence against the foulest oppression and ingratitude. Ii we may credit various accounts that have reached us, General MINA, who acted so distinguished a part during the late struggle, apprehensive that nothing awaited himself and his brother patriots but privation of liberty, perhaps of life, has taken the field against the priest•ridden FiRDINAND. The people in N a. varre, Arragon, and Catalonia, are represented as also ripe for revolt—and it requires no prophetic spirit to foretell that the day is not very distant in which FERDINAND will rue his proceedings and the , folly which has guided his counsels.—The subjoined accounts will enable our Readers to form some idea Of the tempest with which Spain is threatened : VITTORIA, SEPTEMBER so. The letters from Madrid do not contain any news of importance. The Minister Gongora has given in his resignation. He is replaced provisionally by his colleague, M. Perez Villamirz. Two Inspectors- General, Messrs. Vll'alba and O'Donohue, have re ceived leave of absence. We are more occupied in these provinces with our individual affairs. The two Minas (uncle and ne phew) have disappeared. We are ignorant what they intend to do. The dissolution of the troops which composed the pallid's (division) which went under their name, has thwarted the ambition or the self-love of the Chiefs. The firmness of the Viceroy of Na varre, Count Ecpeletta, is very necessary to restrain all passions within proper bounds. The two Minas have many partizans in this part of the country, where they organized these bands of . volunteers who made so much noise diu:ing the last war. Eerpoz Mina, who took the command 'when his nephew was made prisoner of war, has given proifs of bravery on many occasions, but his mind is not highly cultivated : the younger Mina has passed nearly four years in the dungeons of Vincennes, where French Officers have improved his education. lie came out of prison on the entrance of the Allies into Paris. His councils will have great influence over his uncle. He is a young man of an ardent mind, and who would do honour to his country, if in the present circumstances he does not take a wrong direction. At present he is only twenty-five years of age. New arrests have taken place atMalritl. The free-masons arc objects of severe pamphlets. Alter all, political opinions have probably n9thing to do with these rigorous measures; for within these few years, the party of the Cortes, that of the French, and many individuals who baunz, to neither, were free-masons, particularly in the maritime cities. It is said that the Province of Catalonia has sent a deputation to the King, to reqtiest the liberty of such of their Representatives to the Assembly of the Cortes who were put in priscin. We have received here a pamphlet of the Marquis Almenara, which vigorously rebuts an accusation di rected against his son who died five years ago, by M. Ccvallos. The latter was the agArcss)r, but he has need of more eloquence than he has hitherto display ed, to contend against the adversary he has provoked. M. Escoiquiz has also answered M. Cevallos in a second edition of his work, entitled, " Sincere Expo_ sition of the Motives for the Journey of Ferdinand VII. to Bayonne." Thus the chief personages Of the state do not dis dain to appeal to the public as the judge of their indi vidual opinions, and endeavour to instruct the world as to their con incr. We wait most anxiously for a detailed history of the illustrious personages for whom his Majesty in tends the first cordon of the Order of Valencay; in stituted expressly for them. In these times of waver ing opinion, every thing becomes problematical.— The list alone of the faithful s Spaniards whom the I King shall designate as pure subjects, whose fidelity has been ticsh.,ken, by fixing all the opinions around some privile;4ed men, will establish reputations incon testably' immaculate. We arc very impatient, in short, to know the names of the fist Chevaliers of the Order rf 1 ty. Some English Journals still slip in among the in habitants of the sea-coasts. Their prohibition having redoubled curios;ty, the amateurs have discovered that the measures of the Government were altogether just. The English Journalists kaep no terms with regard to our Ministry. The Times, in partici:ll:lr, is a continual libel against the Government of Madrid. PARIS, OCTOBER 8. We have just received accounts from Bayonne of a very interesting character. The enterprizing Gene ral Mina, who has so eminently distinguished himself during the late war, has collected Lis troops in the neighbourhood of St. Sebastian ; and on the 25th of September a detachment from his forces made an assault upon the citadel. It was not successful, and one of the regiments employed would not obey ; but the whole fell back in good order, on the main body, which consists of 18,000 men. This experment in itself is not ccnsidered of importance, but in its connection in a great scheme of cntcrprize and co operation, it is held to be of the greatest consequence to Spain. PARIS, OCTOBER 10. Yesterday, after mass, the Ambassador from Por tual was introduced, according to the accustomed ceremonial, in the apartments of the King. The Emperor of Russia, wishing to give to the Helvetic Confederation a proof of the interest with which it has inspired him, has resolved to have a re sident Minister in Switzerland, and has appointed the son of Barclay de Tolly to this affice. Letters from Rome deny the assertion that the Pope is going to. Vienna. On the 19th of September Prince Esterhazy left Rome for Vienna. He was charged with a mission to his Holiness, and returns by the way of Naples. Tv:o Deputies from the Booksellers of Germany have arrived at Vienna, to solicit from the Congress a law to secure the copy-right of such books as they publish, and to punish literary piracy, which has been hitherto tolerated. During the encampment of the Cossacks, near Paris, one of them stole a cow, and carried it off to his hut, to which he tied her : the owner of the ani mal, a poor female peasant, having at length disco vered her retreat, went with money in her hand to purchase her from the robber.—" See," said she to the Cossack Officer, (for the depredator himself war absent) " See how fondly she regards me . I will give double her value to get her back." —The price being agreed upon, the Officer received ' the money as trustee for his Cossack, and the peasant led the cow home in triumph. The points of her horns were covered with several folds of rags, as if to prevent her doing mischief; these the owner re• moved on getting home, but what was her surprise to find they contained fifty large pieces of gold ! she hurried back to the Officer with the money, who, struck with her honesty, refused to receive it, and re turned her, as a reward, the twenty crowns which she had given for her cow. She then gave the money to the Mayor of her village, to distribute among her tellow-bufferers. ..?ifilNTiliLi GENCi.

A boat, containing nine unfortunate people, was swamped on Sunday evening between this trexn and Calais, when every soul perished : the ind:viditals con sisted of four women, the rest men (the wlio.e end)), who had brought over, about three weeks bine..., fruit and vegetables. Soon after their arrival at this port, an officer of the Customs proceeded to examine the vessel, and discovered, under the gunwale, a q ..nti. ty of Valenciennes lace ; the boat remark ibi y tine yawl) was consequently confiscated the St ,te.— Since that period, these unfortunate creatures !lava been wandering about tot.tlly without tht- means of returning to their native country. On S.l::d , y morn ' lag a poor Flemish fisherman, taking pity o the.r si tuation, undertook to carry them over itt a vet y boat.

From the American coast we are in hourly expec tation of receiving intelligence of new succvsse, A letter from about tw l ve miles diwant fn on Lake Champlain, announces the rapid advance the British army in that direction, and liol& out ii,pc that the American flotilla on that Luce is ill cap tured or burnt in its harbours. A letter has also been received from ee high in command in Sir J. Slummy) ices iit a date subsequent to the Lest dispatches. At that p-ri the expedii ,, n under S:r .1,41 N was "(met to leave t::e Penobscot for Portsmouth, in New 11.111)6114e, with the view of destroying a new 71.-gliti ship building there, as well as some minor vessels of war. We lament to say, that the laile4 Liters from Ca. Jiz, via France, present very Alai min.; representa tions of the state of Gibraltar.
