Ilia -r-,!sh;;, has taken a house only for a fortnight ; most of the other tenures are by the month, after which a proportionate tent is to be paid for daily oc cnpancy, during the remainder of the time that the Congress is to last. OCTOBER 27. There was yesterday morning a grand military in spection on the Bra, at which the Emperors were present, attended by a brilliant Staff. It lasted but a very short time ; for the troops after having passed in review before their Imperial Majesties were marched off the ground in different directions. Oscar, the Crown Prince of Sweden, arrived in the course of the day, and proceeded to the Hotel called the mr, e di Lona'ra (Tower of London) where a guard of hnnour was stationed to receive him. He is a very fine looking young man. The Duke of Wellington and Prince Metternich di ne .l yesterday with the Marquis and Marchioness Lenioi:,lcrry, who had a select party of diplomatic guests. Tl)e banquet was of the most costly descrip tion, and served up in the grandest style. Mr. Pcgler, the Messenger, has just arrived, bring ing dispatches from London and Paris. OCTOBER 30. The cenfeiences now succeed each other, day after day, in regular order; and it would appear as if the diplomatists are anxious to dispatch business, and get away from this town as quickly as possible. The King of Prussia returned on Monday evening from his sht:rt excursion to Venice, and will, it is understood, set out early in the ensuing week for Florence, Rome, and Naples ; it being his Majesty's intention to remain a few days in each of thoA. cities. Intelligence has just been received from Berlin, which states that the Duke of Cumberland has been very rear losing his life from a cause apparently but liidir~, and is not yet considered quite out of danger. Hi s Royal fliliness while at Pest, in Hungary, hvirq occa wa to pare a coin on one of his toes, deeper than Cie callous part ; is consequence of mi;:ch a violent inflammation was immediately pro d;:z2,l, extending rapidly up the whole leg and thigh, r.i:h trong symptoms of mortification.

It was yesterday morning announced by public rotification from the Office (f the Municipality, that t!e Sardinian King would enter the town in state, ::bout three o'clock, and the inhabitants were conse fluently requited to make the usual public prepara tiors fur his M kty's reception. Accordingly, the walls of the dtiferent hou-es soon began to display draiery of all descriptions ; and wherever satin or 6m:a ,e did not arrest the eye, ragged muslin, dirty linen. laded calico, and ccarse canvas, were exhibited. About a quarter before three o'clock, the Emperor of A11.57.!1!, attended by his Grand Chamberlain, Count Chuchera, drove out through the Milan gate, in an open ca:ria:!;e, drawn by six grey hones, and proceeded on at a rapid pace to receive his Sardinian Majesty. It was alinoit four before the Emperor's state car riage reac% el the gate, and when it came up, the King an.! (treeu of Sardinia were discovered seated together c:i the same side, and his Imperial Majesty directly or polite. Both the Sovereign, were dressed the Au :than uniform, and the Queen wore a light travei:ing-dress, with a blue satin hat turned up in front. Charles. Felix has by no means a prepossess ing con:ten:ince; his teeth are prominent, his mouth extremely large, and his nose, w hich is crooked and med, -cans as if it were wrenched from its natu ral position in the face. The beauty of the Queen, if she ever Lai any, has long been on the wane. The Royal Parr appeared to be in excellent spirits, for they laugl;ed heat ; but the Emperor was not observed to Aix one instant from the dignified gravity which he i. always known to maintain. The cart iage was iarne that had brought the Emperor of Russia Lao town on the day of his public entry; and equipped precisely in the same manner, there being six bay ith rich brass harness, and a rigs aiber of Im• rrial Pages in splendid liveries of scarlet and gold. —As soon as their Majesties came opposite the Palace of the Emperor of Russia, which stood directly in the line of the procession, they stopped for an instant merely to bow in expressive acknowledgment for the /ery courtly inclination of the head which that august Personage made from his window as they passed along. The cavalcade then proceeded straight forward through the town till it reached the other side of the Adige, where the carriages separated in eifferent directions, and his Sardinian Majesty, on ..lighting at his Palace, received visits almost at the same moment from the Emperor of Russia, the King ti Prussia, the Grand Duke of Tuscany, the Viceroy, the Archduchess Maria Louisa, the Duke of Modena, tLe Ciown Prince of Sweden, Prince Leopold of Sicily, and from the principal Ministers of the seve ral Missions. NOVEMBER 2. Yesterday the gener a l gaze was fixed on the vene rable King of Naples, while he entered the town with precisely the same ceremonial and the same display as his Royal brother of the North of Italy. The troop s were led out at ten o'clock; but it was nearly one bei'ore a discharge of artillery announced to the Veronese that his Neapolitan Majesty had arrived at the gate of the Corso, through which he was to enter. The streets in the meantime were crowded with spec tators: The King, as being the guest of the Emperor, sat in the State carriage on the right of his Imperial )Majesty, and Prince Leopold took his place on the opposite ►ide. The whale three were dressed in blue •nifiirm, and wore several Orders. The King is a benevolent and placid-looking old man, whose hoary In cks proclaim his lengthened years," and the linea ments of his countenance are as truly Bourbon as any t` at ever characterised me of the family. In their Prestress aloug the Corso they rr ere greeted by his • • • Prussian ktjesty, who, with the tivo youag Princes,' ' his sons, stood on the balcony, dressed ih full uniform. The Duke of Welli n gt on h as ta k en u p as stro n g a position in the field of diplomacy, as he ever took in the field of battle:. and he defies all the generalship' of the ablest tacticians to dislodge him. His Grace has been recently heard to say, in allusion to the dif ficulties of conquering Spain and Portugal- 4 :Those countries have already teazed one of the greatest masters in the art of war, wirh seven hundred thou sand man at his command, and they would now teaze another, with double the number." I understand that France is the,only one of the four Gieat Powers that is deaf to all arguments for the abolition of the Slave Trade. The Duke of .. . Wellington is doing everything in his power to bring the French Cabinet to an understanding more in consonance with justice and humanity upon the subject; but there is too much reason to fear that his efforts will not be at tended with the desired success. With respect to thd Austrian Loan, however, the prospect is more favour able ; and it is thought that something in the way of liquidation will he effected. The King of France has been invited to attend the Congress, but nobody ever expects to see his Most Christian Majesty in Verona. NOVEMBER 4. Saturday passed sway without any public affiir. —The Duke of Wellington was out at an early Ipuir in the morning, and walked through different parts of the town, apparently in excellent health and spirits. About one o'clock his Grace attended a Council of Ministers, at the house of Prince Metternich, and it is supposed that the topics discussed had reference to the grand sitting, which is to take place to morrow, on the subject of the present political state of Italy. The Russians, after all their thenaces and parade, and all the blustering cf Count Strogonoff, have made • but a sorry business of their quarrel with the Turks., Time is no doubt whatever but they would have re sorted to hostilities in spite of all the remonstrances , of the mediating Powers, if they had not found that the Mussulman army was much better prepared to take the field than their own. They are now in their chagrin, holding back to see whether they will be invited to send an Ambassador to Constantinople once more ; but, like the peasant on the bank, they may wait till ail the water in the river flows down— they may wait to eternity, before the Sublime Porte will deign to sue for anything from the Cabinet of St. Petcrsburgh. NOVEMBER 5. This day, at one o'clock, a grand conference was held at the house of Prince Metternich, where all the hi . 7,11 functionaries attended in full assembly. Various periods al e assigned for the duration of the Congress, but the prevailing opinion is, that it %%ill not last be yond the middle of December, and that within fifteen days from the present time, the several Ministers will decide upon the final result. It is certain that the manly firmness of the Duke of Wellington, in oppos ing propositions which he considers to be at variance with the interests of his country, is thought one of the greatest obstacles to an early conclusion. he Noble Duke, however, is resolved to maintain his ground to the last, and will not, in any instance, suffer himself to be betrayed into a temporising policy. EXTRACT OF ANOTHER LETTER-SAME DATE. At length I have to inform you of the actual open ing of this important Congress. The Ministers of the High Allied Powers met for the dispatch of business on the 31st of October, at eight o'clock in the even ing, at the Hotel of Prince Metternich. England was represented by the Duke of Wellington. The first Sitting was wholly occupied with the subject most interesting and most important at the present mo (mint—the state of Spain. I need hardly tell you, that the great, the almost exclusive object of the English diplomaCy here, in regard to that unhappy country, is to preserve peace; and the whole weight of England (and that is certainly not little) was thrown into the scale of peace. But I believe it is equally certain, that the Duke of Wellington had to encoun ter a very strong feeling of an opposite nature, and that from more than one quarter. A mercantile house has received an express from Paris, which quitted that city at eleven o'clock on Wednesday, and reached London at two o'clock yes terday afternoon, having performed the journey in the very short space of twenty-seven hours. As the motive for this extraordinary speed relates solely to operations in the Funds, nothing more was learned from it than the tone of the French market at the commencement of business on Wednesday morning. If this can be iecei , ved as a criterion of the state of the political atmosphere, the inference from it is a favourable one the early bargains in the Rentes were all in advance on the prices of Tuesday, and the Brokers were buying very freely what Stock was offered them at 90f. Not a hint is dropped of any step publicly take u by the French Minister to dis avow the new polidy supposed to be adopted in the Cabinet with respect to Spain. Yet a rise of five per Cent. in French Stock, the Rentes having opened at 851. cm Monday, could scarcely have been operated without some information directly or surreptitiously obtained by the leading Capitalists and Stockholders., A private letter, dated Paris, November 11, says, " I have just had a long conversation with persons' l acquainted with the affairs of Spain. They state that ithete is now no intention at Madrid of trying Don Carlos. The threat held out to the French Ambas sador is of a different nature. The Infante has been judicially convicted of having taken an active part in the affair of Burgcs. Orders signed by him have been found ; and a threat has been made that the pro ceedings in this process, which have hitherto been kept secret, will be published. The accomplices in the affair of the 7th of July have long since denounced Carlos, but he adopted the resolution of denying every thing, and there the investigation ended. This is the source of the reports of his being to be put on his trial. It is said that San Lorenzo has exchanged thundering notes with the French Ministry, and that, among other things, he announced the immediate re moval of all the Royal Faniily to Seville and Cadiz, the moment that French troops should pass the Ebro. This on-dit about San Lorenzo seems, however, a little inconsistent with what I can state to you as a fact— that he has lately received from the King of France ' a snuff-box, set with diamonds, worth '20,000 francs. • Perhaps his Most Christian Majesty thought, by such ' a mark of regard to a Grandee of Spain, to shew him one of the advantages of being a courtier above the barren faux of being a Constitutional Patriot." • . • .

This was the principal topic yesterday at TATTERSALL s, and in other sporting circles ; and this forfeit has given rise to doubts whether the battle between Randall and Martin will take place, although all the stakes are deposited in Mr. Jackson's hands, which were nearly forfeited by Martin's backer sending a check instead of money, which was cashed just in time. This check remains as it did, leaving Martin to stand ,e2OO of the battle money himself, and he says he will not fight. At a meeting at Mr. Thirtle's, in the Ilaymarket yesterday, Spring attended, and declared he would fight Neate at the time which had been axed, frorti a glass tf gin to X. 200 of his own money. Numerous amateurs would have backed Spring if the affair had been sooner known. It is likely that Neate will accept Spring's challenge : in that case it will be a new match, and puts aside all former betting. TURNER AND CY. DAVIS. The former game hero, contrary to expectation, intends to have another shy in the Prize-ring. It was thought by the judges that dissipation had told him out. Turner, however, has materially improved in health ; and be confidently asserts that the effects of a few weeks training will not only renovate his frame, but he shall be in first-rate condition by the appointed time. Davis, in the most friendly and manly manner, offered Turner his own time ; and, on making the following match, they shook hands with each other more after the manner of in separable friends than old opponents. Castle Tavern, I lolborn,WednesJay, Nov. 13. _ Edward Turner agrees to fight Cyrus D3VIS for ,ClOO a-side, on the third Tuesday in Februat y,1823.

This morni n g .31r. liv.ALb, on the part of Mr: Ainsworth, a young man who had married a yo ung • woman, who was a ward of the Court, stated, that he now understood the father of the yoiin man had forty thousand pounds ; that the son was readj, and wall to make a settlement, bit; he did not s t a te that he h ad any cornrow (lie:- any property, he depended on what his father should site. He did not utider stand, Mr. Heald said, that his 'client had aiiiialry been Oft)* of a contempt of the Court, for the young L idy was not a Wald of th.f Court at the time the marriage took effe: t, but he admitted he was in, formed that she was about to become a ward of the Court. Tile LOUD CHANCIMLOIL—It was clearly proved to me it was a contempt; and Mr: Wakefield stated to me that the young man had an expectation troth his father, but no property of his own. And now your client.instructs you to appear, and the substanee of the cat•e is neither more nor less than this—that your client, hearing that this girl is about to become a ward of Court, runs away with her to Scotland, and marries her ; and then he comes here and telli me that he has not a shilling to settle upon her ;= that, indeed, hi. father is worth forty thdusand pounds ; but what does that signify, when it turns out that he has no property of his own, nor au thority from his father, to state any settlement. which he may make on this young woman. Mr. fi EA Ln said, he could state no more than had ' been cotnmunitated to him. The LORD CHANCELLOR,—."I took it for granted that he had no property to settle, and so it turns out to be." Mr. WAKEFIELD said, that all the circumstances of the case did not yet appear before his Lordship; for that the party now complaining had consented to the publication of banns for this marriage, and a set-, • tlement was proposed to be made on the marriage of this young couple, but instead of forwarding the terms of this settlement, they filed the present bill against this young man. The LOUD Cri A Ncr.r.r.oe, after hearing many ob servations on both sides, consented that this matter would stand over for a week, in order to see whether the matter might be in some measure arranged ; but, at all events, he should take care that this young woman's property, which was £BOO a year in land, should never be taken from her, and that a proper settlement sliculd be made upon her, for that he was bound to take effectual cave of. The matter then stood over accordingly. LORD PoRTSNIOLITif. It was stated at the Bar that the Medical Gentle men whom his Lordship had allowed to visit the Earl of Portsmouth, could not be expected to go down into the country without fees, and there were, 'at present, no funds out of which that expense could be defrayed ; and it was therefore hoped his Lordship would sanction the payment of these reqaisite sums out of the property of the Noble Lord. His Lordship said, that in the present stage of the proceeding he had no power whatever over any part of the property of Lord Portsmouth: whether, undet any arrangement to be made by the parties on both sides, the Noble Earl might be removed to town to be placed under proper care and to have proper treatment so as to diminish the expense now alluded to, was for them to consider. Mr. SKTRItow, a Gentleman at the Bar, whom we understcod to be one of the Trustees, justified his own conduct on this occasion ; adverted to certain notices which had been given to the Bankers, Drum monds, as well as Trustees, of Lord Portsmouth, not to part from any property of that Noble Lord with out order of the Court. After which Lady Ports in wilt applied for £300: the Bankers declined pay i,ig it. Mr. Skirrow, on his own responsibility, con sented to her having, and she accordingly had, £2COI She had received in dune last £lOOO besides. He wished his Lordship to know these facts. Mr. litt.iNco said, that Lady Portsmouth would readily assent to the payment of the fees of the Phy sicians, had she funds for that purpose; but she really had not. The LORD CITANCELLOR.---" The truth is, that I have nothing to do with any part of the property of Lord Portsmouth, in the present stage of this pro ceeding. It my Lord Pot tsmouth is sane, as Lady Portsmouth maintains that he is, and she feels that he does not allow to her what she is entitled to have, as his wife, the course for her to adopt is to sue her husband tor alimony ; but I cannot make any order for that, or any such purpose, upon a question, which is the only one now before me, whether a Com mission de lunatico inquirendo shall or not issue against Lord Portsmouth ?" . It was then proposed that this matter should fur ther stand over for a few days beyond Tuesday, the day at present appointed for the final discussion of it. His Lordship said there were two points for him to attend to, beyond any other: first, that the Court should have all the information which it was practip cable to obtain; secondly, that it should then come, with as little delay as possible, to a tight conclusion on it; for he was under the necessity of devoting a large portion daily of his attention to this matter, to keep his mind alive to all the important facts of it ; nor did he ever know a case in which he was com pelled to the so much care and caution in what he did, as this had required. It must be understood, for the present at least, that the matter should come on peremptorily on Tuesday next. Assault and robbery have of late become so fre quent in Dundee, that numbers of the citizens now carry loaded pistols for their defence at night. CORN EXCHANGE, 111 ARK-LANE, NOV. 15.
