Ml* 91 dos, Aimee lithe Empire who were here to reclaim their several rights and privileges, seeing' that nothing is finished, luvet taken the resolution to return to their homes. Prussia and Austria support them: it seems that these Powers have even inter posed in the quarrel between the Grand Duke of Baden and the Princes whose territories are shut up within his states; but although they are fed with hopes, affsirs of a general interest must first be termi nated and then the details will be entered upon. We are assured, that the States of the second order on the 7th inst. sent to the Congress a formal and well argued protest, against every kind,of dismember tnent of Saxony. They even insist that there shall be no attack whatever made on the integrity of any of the Princes alto compose the'Empire. • This de mand is very natir,tl on their part ; it remains to be seen how all this may be reconciled with the interests of the higher powers and the general plan. The King of Prussia is much better, and will be able to leave his room in a few days. The King of Sardinia is expected here daily. The situation of Italy becomes more and more critical. FUNDY, (ITALY), DECEMBER 4. The corps de reserve which had been organized at Naples and Benevento, have been put in motion : they are 20,600 men strong, without their artillery. Tomsorrrowthe advanced guard, under General Fi langieri, will mak. its entrance into our city. The 'kingdom being in full peace with the maritime powers, the National Guards will be eficient for the protec tion of the coasts, and for theitternal police. We are assured that the three divisions of Macdo. said, which had returned to the Abruzzes, have re ceived other orders, and they are to push forward. It seems also that the three divisions of Prince Ca mpana, which occupy the March of Ancona, have teceived orders to be in readiness to march. It is said that the King will set out on the sth of January : he left Naples on the same day last year, when he marched to Make war upon France on the right bank of the Po. These military movements are very extraordinary, ' 1 when we are not at war with any person, and when', the union which exists between the Austrians and us 1 is such that the troops are commanded indifferently by Generals of both nations. The army is very discontented at being engaged in marches which never seem to have any end ; it is very little disposed to make war ; none but Italian deierters, a species of mauvaire: sujell, who seek only *their own advantage andexpect it in disorder, rejoice at these appearances of war. - ' • PRATO,'DECEMBER 9.. • Countesi Arriano (formerly Felix Bacchiochi) stopped here in the journey which she undertook for Pisa to visit our august Sovereign.

The ittelioil . eihe French public is filed at this moment on *thiShtaCtiss between Louis Bonaparte and Madame the Duclu*kof st. Leu, his wife. The .questioß at issue is, - whether a Frenchman, enjoying all his civil - rights, can be deprived of his plenitnde of authority over his minor children, and if a femme couverie is entitled to keep back. an infant. claimed by its parent, under the specious pretext of greater eventual interests, not yet accepted or recog nized by the fathtr ? Names have nothing to do with law suits, which must always be decided on the principles of justice. But whatever may be the feelings of disgust and indignation, with which the family name of Bonailarte must now he, heard' throughout Europe, the name Of Lucien linsuparte ought always to be pronounced, in a di ff erent accent, and be ought never to he con founded with his dethrones! brothers. His conduct ik since abdication, has been irreproachable and no ble. He is the only one of his family, include.l the Te:4 between the Allies and his hateful bro. they, whii publicly declared, that he would accept of 'no advantages which were stipulated for him by such 'a treaty. We know ail 5 that he nobly disdained to :accept of the estate which his brother offered him, 'when he left Holland, and thus descended with dig from a Throne, - which the wretch would not allow tin to fill with honour.

All the latest accounts from Ghent agree in stating, that some of the Agents do 'not affect to make any secret of the Negoci 'Cons having assumed a shape that prohibits all hope of 2 speedy peace. It is considered certain, that that the 'oe..v instructions received by the American Commis sioners arc, to cede no point on which they. had in. ,aisted by virtue of their previous orders. To this add the American Coliscrimion Bill, 'and it will appear ma !direst, that our Ministetx would be acting a part t l iot to be expected from them, were they in the slightest dngree to relax in their exertions.

THE LATE GA LES.—Fridgy last we gave some no , tires, hostily drawn together, of the consequences re. suiting from the boisterous weather, which had so inopportunely set in upo:i us. In the evening of Fri-, dey, the wind shifted towards S.W. from W. and .b. ut midnight, blew with great violence. The ships which had originally-anchored at the tail of the bank: were then riding far to leewardeand near to the other side ; lout, having taken every possible precaution to; ensure theiesafety, they happily preserved their situa tions during the night. Saturday, the wind continued l tee blow strongly horn S. to 'S.W.+ at night it mode., rated, and on Sunday morning, a. breax springing, up from the east, the utmost alacrity took place eise board the Ships to enable them to resume their sta tions at the tail of the hank : about 13 succeeded in regaining their former anchorage; the retnai oder were l oniy prevented' by a strong S.W. gale which again set in. Yesterday the weather was more moderatee and to-day, the ships which were unable to return tout; tail of the bank on Sunday, are preparing to get win. der weigh for that purpose. We have authority, : to, state, that,' if the weather permit, his Majesty's ship . TAtamtus will sail to-MO77tlW morning, wi,h 60 Many : , 'of the ships as may then be reedy to join convoy for Cork. We regret ta observe that the vessels which went on shore in the storm on • Friday have not. yet ,been able to get off, nor are any of them expected to accomplish it in. time to sail with the other ships for Cork.• The vess 4 which we mentioned in our last to be then ashore at the Hill of Ardmore, appears to have since been extricated ; another, on shore at Car: dross, does not seem to have changed I,er situation. We understand that the Jane and klizabeth on shore below the new battery, have damaged pert of their cargoes ; and will not get off without very coneidera hie labour. The situation of the Mary, Mooae, which was driven on shore to the eastward of the powder house, is more favourable ; and the Montreal, on shore at Inch Green, is, also, expected to be got off, without any` injury to the cargo. • His Majesty's ship BRITONIART was forced to quit her station bettieen North Ctimbrey and Bute during the gales on Friday ; she came up to Lunderstooe Bay, and there rode out the storm in safety ; on Sun- day she anchored at the tail of the hank. We learn that a sloop, laden with coals, fouedered on ,Friday on her passage from Triton to Rothsay, 'l a wn men, brothers, who were on board; perished: 'A wherry, likewise, in crossing front .

The only accident which occurred in the itstertir of the town was the falling of the north -gable of the Roman Catholic Chapel, the boilding of which had just been finished; its sufficiency, however, was previously doubted. . . ~ Port-Glasgow has also suffered from the efitetili the storm, which was felt here so severely.—Several garden walls near the sea, at the west end of the town, have been thrown down ; Ike foot path and parapet wall along the Old Bay, have been nearly destroyed; a new s steam boat, that was building in Mr. Hunter's yard, and seversl pinnaces lying on the beach, near the Castle of Newark, were knocked to pieces. A sloop from Leith, with the remainder of her cargo (flour), foundered at the west side of . the New Quay, and the in ster'and crew with diffi coley saved theirdives. The greater part of the Tows of Dumbarton was laid under water, during the storm.—(Greenock ildvertirer.) 2. ,.l -Lirrti, DECEMBER is.

We have heard it stated, that it was in this character Miss WALeTBIN fitst acquired fame as an actress on the Dublin stage. We must confess we doubt the correctness of this statement; Jesse Shore is not a character which affords much opportst,ity for its representative to exhibit any wonderful force of talent. The atidience may feel interested in the buf fetings of the unfortunate frail fair one ; but still there is not scope for the exertion of any great power on the part of her ref,resentative. What could be done was done by Miss WALSTEIN last night, who, in the scene with Gloucester, and in the last scene, the only two in the Piece possessing much interest, proved that she possessed the power of speaking to the heart; and in these she was loudly applauded. Port: played Shore, and imparted cons:derable interest to the dia. racter of the injured, relenting, and forgiving hus band. RAE, in,Hestings, made as much as could be made of the little he had assigned to him. Mrs. GOYIM played "Oda, and was well rec• iced and' ' .loudly applauded throughout. The house was full.
