The Treaty of the Holy Alliance will no longer be a mew- nonentity between the High Powers who have signed it." JAN.IS.—We arc assured that Sir James Craufo.:d has received orders to quit Paris i:t '2 4 li-urs. Ac cording to his usual custom, he exclaimed, it is said, " Vive la Charte !" at the moment he was setting off. According to the most recent letters front Spain the conclusion of a treaty of hippie Alliance between Portugal, Spain, and Naples, may be considered as certain. VIENNA, Jan.3.—Yesterday m►rning the Emperor and Empress quitted our capital fir Lavboch, where it is expected they will arrive on the 6th inst. The Neapolitan Ambt. , 4ador, Prince do Rufro, who has remained at his post, although recalled by the new Government, set arta Laybach on the Ist instant, The Emperor Alexander set off for the same des tination this morning. The King of Prussia is ex pectea to pass lirough here, on his way thither, in the course of the week. It was a stomach complaint that carried off Fondle, Duke of Otranto, at Trieste, on the 2i h Dec. His last wordo were addressed to his wife, rt follow—" Now you eau return to France." The Austrian Observer, after quoting the article in which the courier relines the news published by tha Morning Chronicle, that a difference had taken place between Prince de . .lettenich, adds—" We should not have taken any notice of this tale, which has not the slightest foundation, and which has pro bably originated in some pot-house, if, to the great astonishment of the best informed persons, the English Opposition p►icers had not endeavoured to gain credit fur a report which . was so agreeable to themselves. tJuder these circumstances, we have deemed ourselves bound at least to insert the article front the Courier, which appears to us to come from an authentic source. JAN. 4.—The Allied Sovereigns have given a fresh prouf of their determination not to recognize any of the acts extorted from the King of Naples by the revolutionary faction. Prince de Rufho, who was deprived of his embassy at Vienna, and recalled by a decree of the Parliament, converted into a Lloyd decree, has been invite.l to repair to the Con gress at Laybach, with the title of Ambassador from his Majesty, the King of the Two MADRID, JAN. 5.-1 write to you in great haste to intorm you that the Cones are convoked Cm Tuesday, the 9.11 inst. in order to take into consi deration the invitation that has been sent to Fer dinand VII., by the Allied Sivereigns, to repair personally to the Congress at Laybach. This news has produced the liveliest sensation. If the Cortes permit the King to leave his kingdom, it is probable he will embark at Barcelona. It is rumoured in this capital that our Monarch has received, from the Sovereigns at Troppan, an invitation to repair to the cordiaences at Layuach If this should be confirmed, there will, no doubt be an extraordinary convocation of the Cortes, to deliberate upon so important a measure. They write from Madrid, under the date of Jan. 4, says theGazclle de France, that armed men of all descriptions have passed through the town of ,Za mora, exclaiming " long live Religion !" In several villages the country people joined them. A new conspiracy has been discovered at Saragossa, but the zeal and activity of the civil authorities entirely disconcerted it, JAN. 6 —The nomination of Deputies to the Cortes of 1820 and 21, from New Spain, are known, and have been published: 47 persons are deputed. or to be supplied, fbr the eleven provinces of the Vice. royalty of Mexico. We have not yet the names of those were to be elected in the beginning of October in the interior provinces of the East and %Vest, and who are to be live in number. By the Mexican Gazettes, which are down to the 17th October, we see that tranquillity wes entirely re established in the major part of those provinces. S.utw trifling comumtions are said to have been felt ut thiedo and Saiagos, , a, and a few persons have been arrested in consequence. NlA:4.l,lmm, JAN. 7.—Quarrels, attended with bloodshed, have taken place at Wurtzburg, between the students and the inhabitants. Measures have been taken to suppress them. BARCELONA, Dec. 22.—1 f our adherence to the Constitution has been notorious and sincere, if our love to our King has been pure and cordial, if res pect to the legal authorities has always been the rule of our conduct, we now think it more than ever necessary to declare, that Catalonia considers the Spanish Constitution 84 its property ; winch it will defend against all the enemies of the public felicity, ‘vhctlier they be secret or open. The accounts we receive from Naples induce us to hold this language, since we unhappily know, that the affairs of Europe are taking a turn which we did not txpcct. It was thought that the great Powers, as they are called, attacked only the prin.. tiplc of the nevolution of Naples, that is, what they called a Military Insurrection - ; but the musk is thrown o:f; it is not the military insurrection, it is the Spanish ConstitUtion which is to be attacked at Naples It cannot be any longer dissembled, it is Spain which is mucked indirectly in Italy, till an opportunicy should offer of attacking it directly. The injustice of the - intentions of those who oppose the Spaniet Constitntion of Naples is self evident, us well us the maniEst contradiction into which they fall, alleging that this Constitution gives too much power to the people, and too little to the Monarch. The Savereigns who now think thus ace the same who, a few years ago, solemnly recognized this Constitution ; which then roused them from the lethargy—from the humiliation id which they were plunged ; which was the basis to preserve their thrones, to support their oscillatory sceptres, to recover their dignity, their honour, their strength, and their rank, Ike. We are far from comparing Laybach with Bay onne, Ferdinand IV. with Ferdinand or the Emperor Francis with Biumaparte. It' any act of injustice like those commit tod by the usurper of the throne of the Bourbons should he seen in our days, we shall not impute it to the Sovereigns but to their evil counsellors.. Meantime, Ferdinand is gone to Laybach, but fn. what? It can only be to repeat by word of mouth wlfat he his frequently declared to the whole world. And what may be the result of this new Congress ?—The Neapolitan na tion will not Yield; the Monarch will maintain his oath ; the Cabinet, meantime, will introduce deht • slim, inflame people's minds, excite parties, outrage the law of nations, trample upon justice; but at the same time they will animate in the people their tome of liberty ; they will cans.: men to reflect on their rights, and on the means of recove6 , g them, and of establishing them on more solid f.undations than they have hitherto had. Naples will be invaded, and the Spaniards cannot look at its situa tion with indifference. Letters from Cape Henry (St. Domingo), now called Cape Haytian, received to the 10th ult. Up to that period the state of 'taint had remained per fectly tranquil, the new government gradually consolidating itself, and giving confidence to the operations of commerce. The liberal donations accorded to the soldiery from the plunder of Chris tophe's treasury had caused an unusual demand for all kinds of produce. It is satisfactory to be enobled to state, that during the entire progress of the im. portant change that has taken place, the British residents have not only been respected, but their safety has formed a subject of peculiar solicitude to the revolutionary leaders. This protection has been the more valuable, as our countrymen appear, ac cording to the statements in these letters, never to have been once visited by a ship of war from the Jamaica station, a measure which, as precautionary, was certainly necessary ; and its omission is, with much justice, complained of; with reference both to their property and their lives, exposed to the excesses of an invading army, composed of the mixed popu lation of St. Domingo. A letter from Corfu states, that the famous Ex- Pacha of Janina has obtained his pardon, having succeeded in gaining the party of the Harem by the sacrifice of two millions of sequins (1,000,00 W. English sterling), and jewels to the value of half as much. Extract of a letter from Buenos Ayres, fOctuber 8, IB2o.—Last week, a terrible riot and massacre took place in this city, in which I regret to say, more than 500 persons were killed and wounded ; the authorities were indelittigable in their endea vours to quell this insurrection, and at length hap pily succeeded. I have great pleasure to add all is now quiet, and likely to remain so; the interior of country, however, is still in a disturbed state. . • By tulvices from Coquerubo it was stilted, that the American brig Wan ior had been dttained by Lord Cochtune, but thr what purpose, or under what pretence we are not infbrmed : probably she was conveying ammunition or other supplies to the Royalist party. His Majesty's ship 1 lyperion had sailed from Valparaiso on the 3d of September, for Lima and Panama, to protect the British trade in quarter. The new Rank notes will not be ready for issuing before April next. There are two millions of dif ferent notes of various amounts ready, with the ex ception of the number and dates ; and us the ma chinery, it is said, was rather too sharp for num bering the notes without injuring them, it has been so improved, as to prevent a recurrence of the in convenience, A steam engine of great power is constantly at work for the manufacture of these notes.

LISBON, DEC. 27 —( Extract of a private letter,— " 1 write to announce to you the nomination of the Deputies to the Cartes for our province, which ter initiated the day hAbre yesterday, at six o'clock in the evening." The writer then states, that the circumstance created the most unbounded joy, and that in two minutes after the first signal announced that the representatives of Lisbon were elected, the most brilliant and universal illumination of the city, and two leagues round, took place, so suddenly us to resemble enchantment.

MADRID, JAN. 3 —Letters from this capital say that it enjoys the greatest tranquillity. The people arc alive to every thing that seems to endanger their liberties, but entirely confide in their constituted authorities fur obtaining redress. JAN. 4.—The clubs have been closed with the approbation of the true friends of liberty. They were held in public coffee-houses; and as every person, even the worst political intriguer, might enter and speak, they did not retain their due con• sideration. Public credit is improving from the sale of national property. Diligences have been established between Madrid and Bayonne. _ _ Nam JAN. 13.—Tlii• King has given M. de Villele, Minister Secretary of State, the decoration of the Royal and Military Order of St. Louis.
