givea ed . Mart FPENCH P,4IPIR. FRONTIERS OF AUSTRIA, NOV. 21. The Emperor of Russia and the King of Pruisia have for these ten days past held daily conferences on the state of European affairs. It is certain that these two Monarchs are willing to make any sacrifice's to advance the establishment of tranquillity in Europe. It is even asserted that Prussia consents to renounce sarony, if suitable indemnities shall be granted to her fix the enormous expences of the war which she has supported, for the great sacrifices which she has undergone since the year 1806, and particularly for the fuss of the Dnchy of Warsaw, which the Treaty bf deprived her of, and which she cannot now recover. _ _ _ On the other hand, it is said that several of the Powers have proposed to restore Prussia to the posses. lion of all that part of Poland situated on this side of the Vistula, on condition that she renounces Saxony : she will, however, reserve a part of it, that is to say, Lower Lusatia, and a district on the right bank of tue Elbe : but appears that this proposal is not recon cilable with the projects of the Emperor Alexander, relative to the establishment of the kingdom of Po land under a Russian Viceroy. _ It is finally said, that several Powers have de clared, that they eagerly desire there-establishment of Peland,an condition, however, that that country shall accept, Ma King, either a Polish Prince, or a Prince of the German House. While no agreement is come to respecting Poland ind Saxony, thearrangements of the Congress coati ng.: in the same state. It is for this reason that the solemn sittings have not cenumenced, though the verification of the powers of the Ministers and accre dited Diplomatic Agents has been terminated for some days. The departure of the Allied Monarchs for Styria and Trieste is deferred, in consequence of the impor tant objects now under consideration. In this unset tled state of things, they do not even yet think of their departure from Vienna. VIENNA, NOVEMBER Si. Their Majesties the Emperors of Austria and Russia are better, and have resumed their usual occu pations. It is said, not without probability, that Prussia agrees to renounce Saxony, on condition that Poland' as far as the Vistula be guaranteed to her ; but Rus sia opposes any dismemberment of that kingdom, and seems bent on incorporating it with her vast domi. nions, at the same time leaving it the appearance of independence. The following is the substance of the propositions contained in the note delivered to Princes Metternich THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1814.

" The Uedersigtied, requesting their most Serene Highnesses to be pleased to communicate this Note to their Sovereigns, or to Make a suitable use of it, have the home to renew the assur ance of their most profound respect. " Vienna, Nov. 1814." [This Note is signed by the Ministers of the diffe rent houses of Hesse, Anhalt, Mecklenburg, Nassau, Lippe, RCM, Brunswick, Weymar, Gotha, Sue- Coburg, Waldeck, Schanutberg-Lippe, and of the free Imperial cities of Hamburgb, Bremen, Lubeck, and Frankfort.] A Gentlettan who bad the misfortnne,with many ethers, to be detained in France as an hostage, who is still there, and who has had every opportunity 'to make himself acquainted with the character and sen timents of the French of all ranks, informs us that on all questions of political economy the generality of people are so miserably deficient as to form all their views from passion, not from judgment; that they are ill informed respecting all the events of the war ; that those participating in the happiness of the Kiwi, and more particularly about his person,.admire the English Government, but dislike the people ; that ?Luse in office, with TALLZYRAND at their head, hate b^th the one and the other ; that the great mass the people profess a veneration for Englishmen, but detest the Government ; and that the best infor med of the republican class bate both our Govern. treat and people, from a spirit of jealousy and revenge.--The continuation of the Droits rearau causes much discontent, and this is heightened by the numerous conges given to military men. .--Tne Emigrants are rapacious in their demands, but not very successful in gaining their•object. The want of a C‘mmercial Treaty puzzles and vexes the real Merchants, while it pleases the visionaries. The wise and humane conduct of the litso, in forgetting and forgiving political crimes, renders the ancient nobility furious. All the means ancl Laws adopted tq ,ecall religious sentiment please but a small party, and are reprobated by the great mass of the people. However strange it may appear, there exists in all pans of France a powerful party for the scoundrel BONAPARTE, in the South his admirers are comp ratively few, but in Dauphine, &c. the people in the towns and villages still exclaim Vive P Enysereur, rive BONAPARTE j and it is certain that a large portion of the Military under the rank of Major are Bonapartist:. —Even among the ancient Nobles, many who hive not got that share of the loaves and fishes to which they thought themselves entitled, are consequently much dissatisfied. On the , meaning of the fourth article of the Treaty of Pt:•ice between this country and France, there is a difference of opinion—some maintaining that com pensation for injuries offered to the persons of Bri tish subjects by BONAPARTE are clearly included in it; while others contend that it only entitles Eng lishmen to indemnities for losses of personal property, as coffee, sugar, cotton, &c. sequestrated by the Ty rant.—Should not the claims of both be attended tot? Many of the former suffered indescribable miseries, not being allowed any subsistence.money by the anti social Government. We have this day given another article from the Hayti Royal Gazette. It is interesting, as declaratory of the resolution of the Government and people of i Saint Domingo, even before the conditions of the Treaty of Paris were known in that Island. The case of the Haytians is a strong one. They were declared free Mat by an Act of the French Le gislature in February, 1794. Many of the other laws of the same body are still in force. Every Haytian born since has, in law and in fact, been born free. Iti is nothing to the purpose to say, that NAPOLEON re versed that law. HC did, it, is true, and he attempted again to enslave free men—he was foiled, and the Haytians then declared themselves independent.—. l The breach of faith was on the part of the mother country. It is common enough in France to hear ap plause bestowed on the declaration of independence by the United States of America ; but no French. man, however blind or bigotted, can pretend to say' the complaints of the Americans can bear the slightest comparison with those of the Haytians. Although France fomented the rebellion of our colonies : yet it was not to England that she owed the loss of St. Domingo. To-day we present our Readers with an article on the question with America, taken from a late Num ber of the Borten Repriory. It is distinguished for that spirit of candour, moderation, and good sense, for which we are sorry we cannot compliment the present American Government, bnt which can alone save the United States from moral and political ruin. This judicious and enlightened reasoner reminds his unfortunate countrymen that the conquest of the Ca nada: was the avowed object of the war, and that the heads of their Government have repeatedly pledged themselves for its accomplishment. He then asks them if it be unreasonable in Cleat Britain, now that circumstances are changed, to , demand an increase of territory in her turn ? But he makes it evident that Great Britain is not actuated by any rapacious views of conquest, and far loss in toxicated with the high and commanding attitude which she now holds among nations : all her demands for new boundary to her Colonies are founded upon the immutable principle of truth, justice, and huma nity. This honest asserter of the sacred rights of mankind, tells his countrymen, that no peace can be secure and lasting, and that no treaty can be honour able, which does not stipulate the complete indepen dence of the Indian nations, whoa? PROVIDENCE has interposed between the American and British Set , dements. In the sober language and the mild spirit of Com mon sense and Christian morality, this sturdy Cham pion of the good and great cause of humanity, tells the Americans, and tells them truly, that they are not yet fir enough advanced in civilization themselves to be entrusted with the Sovereignty of the immense and populous territories, which they have too long held; be tells them, in fact, that they ought no longer to be permitted to go on with the extirpation of their Indian neighbours ; for of this hideous complexion has been the uniform policy of the JUIPERSON and MADISON `Administrations ! We trust that these humane and forcible appeals of the Boston Politicians to the good sense and hu manity of mankind will not be lost upon the Com missioners at Ghent. The following Order of the Day, issued by the Emperor ALEXANDER, addressed to the Polonese, announcing the arrival of his brother CONSTANTINE, is truly interesting at this moment : TO THE POLISH ARMY. " Orsicias, Sounaasi—l am convinced that it will be highly plca.ing to you to receive this pledge of reward, to which you have acquired so high a title by your noble conduct and ex emplary discipline, up to the period of your return to your homes—l announce to you, in the very words of his Majesty the Etuptrot ALEXANDZIL" I consider it due to the Polish Army to state, that it his crowned its known valour by au exem plary conduct in peace. The countries which it has traversed do it justice. lam perfectly content with this army—l wish to render it strung and numerous • and I also wish to see Poland happy. My Brother will immediately arrive amongst you, and confer distinctions upon merit. " Mesa inures the Commandants of Brigades, and Meuleures the Colonels, will take care of every thing that can contribute to render brilliant the review of the troops. They will employ a few day to perfect them in the manstivres, in order that the Grand Duke may be wished witk the evolutions. (Signed) The Galeria Commandant, the Count Kaasinsai." Aid. Yesterday his Royal Highness the Duke of Yong held a Levee at his Office in the Horse Guards, which was attended by Lord limmouste and several mill• taty Officers. The 2d Royal Veteran Battalion which lately Artived in Canterbury, it is understood, will remain Lill it is disbanded, the order for which is very shortly xpected.

A number of sportsmen were thrown out.

Graham immediately ram dews stairs after Reynard, who inuawly betaking himself to tight, was followed by this modern Achilles, and a!etiough cumbered with a pair of clogs, his aproo, and other appendages, thee a desperate race, for several minutes, over ledges and dkehea, dazing which he turned the animal many times, he suc ceeded in catching him, ind seizing him 'by the neck, held hint np to Ma Mashhad companions.

An unfortunate accident happened to John► %War, El. of Michell-grove, Sussex, a few der sinew. While hunting, and in the act of leaping his horse over a fence, the animal fell, by.' winch accident the rider had kis thigh broken. BRIGUTON.—Monday morning, at tea o'cl•tck, the PRINCE REGENT mounted his charger and rode to the Barracks, accompanied by General BLOOMFIELD, itc. where his Royal Highness inspected the 7th Hussars, dismounted, and seemed pleased with the appear ance and conduct of the men Before twelve o'clock, his Royal Highness crossed over the Church-hill, in his route back to the town, ale.l from thence extznd ed his ride through several of t!ie principal streets. la passiusup Middle -street, at a very g•-otle pave, his /pa se gave a sudden plunge with him, in a lateral di rection, and his Royal Highness, for the instant, seemed to have lost his seat ; happily, however, it was tor the instant only, and though the animal continued to plunge and rear, the Prince succeeded in mastering him. His Royal Highness was h:tbiteJ in plata clothes, with a brown great coat, and never appeared in better health. Sir SAMUEL RoMILLY has been seriously indispOsed from a neglected cold. He was attacked by aa in.. flammation on the chest ; but he is out of danger, and in a fair way of recovei y. Our letters from Paris are full of the arrest and robbery of Lord OXFORD. It is quite idle to Affect that it was not done by order of Government. At the first post from Paris (Ville Juif), the Commissary of Police, CA ItNINGE, had been in waiting ler him be tween three and four hours. On his approach :le ac costed him with great civility, and requested him to alight from his carriage, as lie had an order to take possession of his papers. T:N:Noble Lord remonstrated against the violence, but in vain—he was obliged ,o de liver up all his papers. M. CARNIXOE then told him he was at liberty to pursue his route to lialy, but the No ble Earl returned to Paris and made his complaint to the Duke of WELtalloTo?l, but no red:ess wai given. VariAus conjectures have been formed as to the cause of this proceediug. It is known that the Noble Lord was charged by King JOACHIM with a mission to England, ao doubt, to set forth his pretensions to the fulfillment of Vie engagement of ti our which was entered into with him by Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK. when his services and co-operation were considered by the Allied Sovereigns as so material to the success of their enterprize against NAPOLEON. He is known to have demanded and obtained an audience of the PRINCE REGENT at Brighton, as a Peer of the Realm, and to have laid before his Royal Highness a . memo rial and documents, stating the confidence that MultAe had in the hitherto unspotted honour of England— and that his having trusted to her honour, and not having the engagement reduced into the form of a SJ lemn treaty, gave him additional claims to the exact performance of the stipulations - and that the papers were understood•further to set forth the immense ad vantages that would accrue, not merely to Italy itself, but to England, from the arrangements which he had in contemplation, and which, with the countenance of England, would be forthwith carried into execution. AU this is perfectly known. What reception he got, or what answers the Noble Lord was carrying back, is not known to the Public : but were they unknown to the French Government:' Tnis has be c o me t h e subject of universal conversation in Paris, it is of consequence here also: because if this seizure wsis made without the concurrence of the E.nglis!i bassador, it would bespeak a jealougy betvirce.i the two Courts, not favourable to tranquillity. And it is asked, what motive could the English have in this proceeding, as they must already know the tenor of all his papers ? The Noble Earl might have been suspected (unjustly) to take charge - of letters from Italians in Pat is, supposed to be in intelligence with the Exile in Elba, and that it was the object of the Police to discover their names. Certain it is, that more than the ordinary precautions were taken in Paris immediately afterwards. On the evening of the 50th November the gates of the Thuilleries were shut before the usual hour; ball-Cartridges were de livered out to the Guards, and they were kept in readiness the whole night, as if some movement had been expected, but all remained perfectly quiet. Charlet Dchamel, the Frenchman lately committed to Westgate gaol, C tnterbury, on a charge of utter ing forged Bank of England Notes, has been rrniov. ed by writ of Halm: Corpus into the custody of the Keeper of Maidstone gaol, in order that he may be tried at the next Assizes for Kent. CORN EXCHANGE, MARK•LANE, DECEMBER 7.
