If the contents of the Elamburgh Mail, which arrived yes terday, may be credited. the deliverers of Euro,pc have com menced the work of restoration in a most promising manner. Unlike Buonapartc, who sported with the fate of kings and nations, and, to snit the purposes of his ambition, overthrew the ancient ender of things, they went to battle with the loudly proclaimed intention of replacing the states which he had destt eyed and the sovereigns which he had deposed, in their former situation. How they will fulfil this solemn en gagement, may be surmised from the account, that the King of Saxony was forced to sign his act of abdication on the Sd ult., and that his dominions are to be shared among three of the di,interested champions of natural integrity and Euro pean independence, Prussia, Austria, and the Duke of Saxe V'cymar. The King, it is said, is to be indeMnified in Italy ! It remains to be seen whether this conduct will be sanctioned in the approba - ion of our Plenipotentiaries at the approach , in Congess. NORWAY AND SWEDEN. The brave resistance of the Norwegian patriots, although it has not yet led to the iccognition of their independence, has at least vrceured them flom.their enemy the respect and attention to which they were entitled. Instead of seeing in the convention concluded between Plince Christian and Bernadotte, a concession to the latter, a reference to the pro p, sals tiansinitted to the Swedish Government, before the commencement of hostilities by the Norwegian hero, will she's that he has now obtained what he then demanded, and wlert was peremptorily refu , t.d. The fate of thc coun try, according, to this arrangement, is left with the Diet, and if they should consent to the proposed union with Sweden, they will only do it on condition of retaining the constitution which they have framed. If they should think f ur th e r resistance possible, and ultimate sue cess attainable, Prince Chi is:lan will resume the command, and the honour able struggle will be renewed with fresh vigour, though un cheercd by a single beam ef sympathy from the Dtiii teem of the world.

They contain a report of the discussion in the Chamber of Depu ties on Monday, on thel3udget. The plan proposed by the Government meets with considerable opposition. The rais in.?, the interest upon the bills issued by the Government to eight per cent. and a sale of a part of the forests, are strongly objected to. It is suggested, on the other hand, that the best system would be to keep the intetest at five per cent. and by appropriating five per cent. or more on the amount of the debt, to farm a Sinking Fund for its gradual extinction, in 1 4 ears or less, instead of paying it oil' in three years by th e produce of the sale of forests, &c. as proposed by the Go vernment. The discussion, in the manner it is conducted, seems likely to last for several days. The Civil List has been fixed by the Chamber of Deputies lat (25,000,000 francs for the King, 3,000,000 in domains, and 8,000,000 for the Princes of the Blood. Thee Papers make no mention of the departure of Lotd Cast let eagh. Some particulars are detailed of the fete given by the City of Paris to the King on Monday. An article from \%atsaw speaks of the Committee sprint ed to form a new Constitution for Poland continuing its la bours; but by whom this Committee has been nominated does not appear; no notice that we have observed having be fore been taken of it in tbe foreign papers. The Paris Papers of the 20th ult. contain an article, dated from Augsburgh, which at the preset t moment is of consi derable importance.—li relates to the intentions of Austria, which power is stated to be occupied in extending its influ ence in Italy, where it is said, Lombardy and Venice are to form one Province, under its dominion. Tuscany, . Parma, and Mcdena, arc attached to Austria by family tics; and it is added, that she also looks forward to the Crown of Sardi nia passing to a Plince of her House. The King of Naples, it is alleged; is compelled by circumstances to cling to the House of Austria.• The Pope is surrounded, and his remon strances whit regard to the three Legations have been ineffcc tual. Genoa stands in need of the protection of France, and Austrian troops still occupy Piedmont. It is then ;toed, that the English fleets cruise on the coasts of the Adriatic and the Mediterranean, that they occupy Corfu and the hnian is!cs, and have a force at Genoa. After this summaty the article concludes by stating, that all these great interest; are to be regulated at the Congress of Vienna, and that no dis cussions, as involving the fate of nations, were ever morenn- Portant than those that will take place at this Assembly. The jealousy of Austria prevailing in France is evidently emboded in this article, which is probably of Paris manufacture. It is published too at a period when the Ministers of the diffe rent Powers are about to assemble previous to the meeting qf Congress, and as the Paris Papers alc entirely under the cot, , roul of the Covernment, tl.e at tide, no doubt, speaks the vtcws and sentiments of the French Can't. In the Fr nch Chamber of Deputies on Friday senniiiht M. 3 1 -trolard proposed an address to the King, pra . iii that the Judges mar be made indepeudant.of the Crown, confor to the Constitutional Charter.
