We regret to learn that the Norwegians are not brought to unanimity on the subject of the transfer of their country to Sweden. The following article is r.ttlicr of a gloomy cast: .g GO ITENRURGH, OCTOBER 29. ge Matters are not yet finally arranged with Nor way. The Deputies from Bergen and Drontheim will not agree to the proclaiming of Charles XIII. ling of Sweden and Norway till they receive fresh instructions from their respective cities. In conse quence, the Crown Prince has given orders, that if every thing is not settled within three days, for the whole army to march forward and take the country by force. The time allotted expired yesterday." We also received a supply of Brussels and Frank fort Papers this morning, but they bring no news. To-day we have received Paris Papers of Sunday and Monday last. In the Chamber of Deputies on Friday, the debate on the subject of the unsold pro. perty of emigrants was resumed and kept up with much spirit : the question was at length adjourned, after voting an order for the attendance of the Finance Minister in his place, to give some elucidations re specting the Caine d'amoriissenstiu. The Chamber afterwards voted the law settling the Civil List of the King.—Of 189 who were present, 184 voted for the law as proposed by the Ministers. The Journal & Faris of Saturday entertains its rea ders with another vile Jeremiad on the subject of Washington. We recommend to this writer's perusal the article from Milan, in which Count Bellegarde is represented as having taken a most decided and vigo rous- method of putting down all such croakers. To the breed of Vive Napoleonnt: in all countries, we trust the prompt sacrifice made by General Bel legarde to the manes of butchered millions, will be a salutary warning. The admirers of the Cor sican assassin ought to be the last to impeach this summary method of proceeding—it is a dogma of their own school. Pw-r JOACHIM MURAT, King of Naples, is rapidly descending from his perihelion. His friends now tell us, that the only obstacle to his final exit is the diffi aty of finding an indemnity for him.—lndemnity! far what ? We have heard of a robber in a sister kingdom, who, upon being ordered to restore his plunder, asked his judges, with great naivete, if he was to have nothing for his trouble ? • The case of MURAT is precisely in point, and we hope, that in settling his indemnity, the Congress will refer to this notable precedent. We rejoice to learn thatthe English Plenipotentiaries at Vienna give no countenance to this most impudent demand. . The articles on the subject of the Vienna Congress will be read with interest. Every thing seems to go on smoothly and regularly, notwithstanding the ntherable attempts of the Parisian Journalists to prove tbe contrary. From Madrid we learn that FXRDIXAND goes on most swimmingly in his retrograde system of Go. vernmenr. The privileges of the Mesta have been ;estored: that is to s.iy, the sheep belonging to the members of that body are to be rermitted to tra verse the whole of Spain, as formerly, to the total annihilation of manufactures and agriculture.— The Members of the Mesta consist of the Grandees of Spain and the chief Ecclesiastics, who are, gene rally speaking, the most worthless of the whole popu lation of Spain. PART', OCTOBER 30. One of our Journals announces that the Duchies of Berg and Julien have been offered to the King of Naples, on condition of his ceding Naples. The fact is, that the Counsellor of State, Baron Sack, at pee sent administers these two piovinces, in the name of bii*Te ' reign, the sing of Prussia—that this monarch h4s an er.voy accredited at the Couit of the King of Naples, and that most assuredly he kas no . desire to siveltp -hispretemitmsover these two provisaee. ...,...- flit se etas days some new engravings have bee* § 4 i s t* l fck e scriptive of the retreat of the French orri, hem cisoNo, and the various events of that. nos , infortnnate campaign. It is hardly necessary tn . olvettre, that these engravings come from Ger- Amy, for surely no good Frenchman would find any simusen3ent in retracing our defeats. PARIS, OCTOBER 31. It is asserted at Vienna, that the Emperor of Aus tria has refused to resume the dignity of Emperor of Germany. In order to maintain the tranquillity of the Conti nent, each of the Grand Aliied gowns is to keep on fuut an army of GO,OOO men. VIENNA, OC'T'OBER Some persons wish tp regard as a political event, the departure of the Duke of Rocca Romans, Envoy Extraordihary from the King of Naples to the Em peror of AuOa. We know that several Powers, and among others : England, interest themselves much IC - ' Verclinaod of Sicijy t aid !liir e , Prince himself the integrity of his States. He. has been constantly and firmly attached to England, and it is to his alliance with Great Britain that he owes the loss of Naples. The constant theme here is of several changes of territory between Austria and Bavaria. Although nothing official has been published on this head, these reports daily assume more and more consistence. It is said that the frontiers to the north and west of this Kingdom, will be considerably extended. The dis tricts of Salzbourgh, Berchtolsgaden, lnverthiel, and Hausruck Wertel, of which Austria has been so long desirous, will be ceded to her by a separate treaty, but which will not be published until the indemnities which Bavaria is to get, shall be definitively settled. —lt is thought that the Kirtg of Bavaria will rem:o ver the Palatinate of the Rhine, which was formerly its patrimony,and of which the Grand Duke of Baden is now in possession, in consequence of the arrange ments of Bonaparte. This acquisition will be the more valuable to Bavaria, as she will thereby be mistress of the corresponding countries on both banks of the Rhine. It appears certain that what retards the opening of the Congress is, that some diplomatic personages, and several Ministers, have demanded furher elucida tions and instructions from their respective Courts.— We are assured, for instance, that the Turkish Divan, convinced at length of the importance of the Con gress, has supplicated the Sovereign to send an Am bassador, who shall neither be a Creek, nor an Ar naut, but a Turk by religion and birth, and distin guished for rank and learning. They speak also of an Embassy from the United States of America, and even of a translation of the Congress from Ghent to Vienna ; but this last report appears very improbable; the English will never sub mit their discussions with America to third parties. for, Bing 4".41141 MILAN, OCTOBER 18. Count Bellegarde was yesterday at the Theatre de la Scala, which was crowded with spectators. In the midst of the performance, some voices were heard is the pit shouting Five Napoleon ! These clamours at first disturbed the performance a little, but they were soon stifled, and his Excellency did net seem to care much for them. These shouts were repeated, however, with more violence towards the end of the third act, when Count Bellegarde, who was noticed giving orders to one of his Aides-du-camp, rose up in his box, and addressed the Pit as follows : " Gentlemen,—l have to warn you that the doors of the house are shut, and if you do not instantly de liver up to me the authors of these seditious cries, I shall cause the boxes to be emptied, and enter at the head of my soldiers, who will be very well able to find them." Nine of the most guilty were then delivered up and shot the same evening by torch light. This m:asure has not a little astonished those who affect to treat with indifference a cry which can now be regarded as nothing but a signal of revolt, and . which calls to the recollection of Europe the wretch who has been too long its scourge. MADRID. OCTOBER 17. The Addresses continue. The Grandees of Spain solicit the honour of representing the Cities of which they are Liege Lords, or the territories in which they have property. The Council of the Mesta is re-established in all its ancient form and vigour. The Merino flocks may now traverse the whole of Spain, as formerly, in spite of the eloquent memoir of Jovellanos, and the reasonings of all our modern economists. When we shall succeed in once more having wool in abund ance, there will remain only one wish ungratified, namely, that of attracting merchants to purchase it : for if we admit the English only, it is probable that we shall receive the law instead of giving it. It is alleged by some Politicians—that this country " dare not enter into a Commercial Treaty with France; because she is so eminently advanced in all the useful and elegant arts, that it would be ruin to our agriculture, manufactures, fine arts, and revenue, to establish any practicable Tariff with her fur the exchange of commodities."—This idea is founded on mistaken views of the nature of commerce, and of the real interests of our manufacturers and artists. It is to ur, that the French have made great progress in several branches of manufacture within the last t wenty years; and,grange it would be, should such a people -nemaia.statigatsagy..- Butlaas.aat-Baitaia also greatly improved her manufactures in the- same period ? Let the two countries be put in fair competition, by a free interchange of commodities, and both will be benefited in a much greater degree than by any sys tem of restraints by which either may expect to gain an enviable advantage. France has made great progress in the cotton ma. nufactures—an English branch, as Britain has in silks —originally a Trench branch of manufacture. If both these were suffered to be freely imported into France and Britain, what would be the result ? France would probably, in time; gain a greater supe rimity in the Silk Trade, and Britain in the Cottons, How would thq ftalance stand ?--Plaiely in favour . of Grettliritain. For this country would eventually have the supplying cif a population Of thirty millions with cotton goods ; while France would supply our population of twelve million; 'with silks. But, infaer, this advantage would be compensated to France by t h q ,Aig ereat v a lue of the ceopmcglities ; for the dispa rity in the numbers wbo wed silk; is not in propor tion to the fopulation..Ahe rest* lis to labour would be that the English Silk-weavers would gra- 1 dually become workers in Cotton, and the French Cotton-weavers workers in Silk. Had no system of exclusion ever existed, England would at this moment have had all the Cotton Trade —France the Silk Trade—not only of these Nations, but of all Germany and the North of Europe, Ame rica, and the West Indies. Had no such system existed, there would not now have been so many cotton spinning manufactories in France. And, when NAPOLEON prohibited the ad- mission of our cotton fabrics, bad we prohibited the exportation of cotton yarn, there would not now have been, comparatively, any cotton weavers on the Con tinent.—We created these weavers by permitting the Continent to have our yarns (even without an Export duty) ; and these weavers created the French Spinning Manufactories. The Spinning establishments produce yarns of the lower and middling numbers; but they are still un able to produce the finer yarns—and the Continental weavers are still supplied by our spinners. This is highly impolitic. If they will not receive our cotton fabrics, they should not be permitted to have our fine yarns.—But the true interests of all would be best consulted by a mutual, unrestrained traffic both in yarn and fabrics—in cottons, silks, and every kind of manufacture. The private letters' from Halifax are to the 11th ult. They state that Sir ALExAmmtt Cocultamer, who had been at that port subsequently to the affair at Baltimore, had sailed again on a new expedition, the object of which was very properly kept secret. It is hence to be inferred, that although by accounts cf September 23, from Baltimore, the inhabitants had not wholly recovered from their apprehensions of a second visit ; those apprehensions were groundless, at least for the present season. On the 20th of Sep tember, General IzAtto's forces were embarked and ready to sail from Sackett's Harbour, probably on an expedition against Kingston. We trust it will expe rience the fate of all their previous offensive measures. Letters from Chant of the 28th and 29th ul!. con cur in stating, that all the American Commissioners, except Mr. GALLATIN, had left that city to return to the United States : and it was understood that Mr. GALLATIN was also to.set off on the 2d instant, but that he would probably proceed to Vienna.— He may save himself that trouble. The affairs of Europe—not of America, will be discussed at Vienna. The following are some further Extracts from our American Papers : BOSTON, SEPTEMBER 21. RUPTURE OF NEGOCIATION.—Letters are stated to have been received at the seat of Government from Captain Jones, of the Neptune flag-ship, stating his expectation that the American Envoys would spec. dily embark for the United States. It is impossible to state the grounds of that expectation. But advices from Halifax, to Friday last, state that a vessel had arrived there from England, which she left the 3d of August, and the current report by her was, that the Negotiation would be broken off, and our Envoys be obliged to return. WAR ON TI IC SOUTHERN COAST OF MASSACHUSETTS. —Letters and Gentlemen from Cape Cod, state, that on Wednesday last two officers from the Spencer and Leander, British men of war, then lying in Truro, an nounced to the inhabitants the intention of C3MMO dare Ragget, who commands the squadron, to de- stroy the Salt-works erected there, unless ransomed by the payment of two thousand dollars, and requiring an answer in 15 minutes. The weather would not permit any answer being returned ; and the officers were prevailed upon to remain there that night. On Thursday morning a Committee went on board the Spencer, and obtained the reduction of the ransom to twelve hundrei dollars, and promised to make good some baggage belonging to the Leander, which had been cast away on the Cape, in the dis patch boat, and which has since been libelled in Court. —Captain Ragget informed the Committee that he had orders to destroy all the towns which were assail- able, in retaliation of the depredations committed by the American forces in Canada ; that it was an un pleasant business to him, and therefore on his respon lie would accept a stipulated ransom, and spare the towns ; and that the dismantled vessels would be spared, but the vessels in employ would be taken.— Similar requisitions have been made of Brewster of 4000 dollars ; of Wellfleet, WOO; Orleans, dtc. As the towns were defenceless, it was expected they would be compelled to capitulate. Permission was refused for vessels to carry salt to market to raise the ransom-money. It is added, that the Commodore had expressed his determination to destroy Barnstable, for an indignity to one of his officers ! NEW-YORK, SEPTEMBER 19. By the steam-boat we learn that General Prevost's army effected its retreat without the loss which Gene- ' ral Macomb anticipated. General lzard has arrived at Sackett's Harbour, where row boats were ready for transporting 4000 men, and an attack on Kingston or Fort George was contemplated. Lieutenant Bloomfield, of the Ordnance Depart ment, has been killed in a duel near Albany. Letters from Canandaigua say, that 2000 militia had crossed into Canada, and expeditions at both ends of Lake Clotarifi *ere contemplated. THE ARMT. Military dispatches were yesterday reeelved from the Islands in the West Indies, dated Sept- 16, it which time the Commander-in-Chief, SirimsesLeny had not returned to his station at Barbadoes. The half-pay of the reduced Officers of the Arum is in future to be issued quarterly, like the allowaneds to General Officers, from the 24th of December, up to which day the issues will be monthly, as before.... General WYNYARD was to have resigned the com mand of the forces in North Britain to Lord Hut..op the 24th October, but he has been ordered Wi tal. his command for the present. Colonel WYATT, late of the 2Sd regiment, has been appointed to the command of the Andoier district.
