Complaints • are made in the Vienna settlers of the mischievous ten dency of a certain ti Memoir on the State of Genuses.," the circulation of vrltielt hats been ascribed t . an official fiweigaer, who sent it about, with some appearance of mystery, -during the Congress of Aix-la-Chapelle. The object which the Vienna journalist reproaches the author • of the tract in question with aiming at, is the farther abridgment of the liberty of the press throughout The German states, amongst which he pretends that all manner of evil is concentrated. The Archduke Ferdi nand, who commands in Hangarv, and the Duke of Wellington, are appointed Field Marshals in the Austrian service. 'l'he Emperor Francis and the Em press have returned to Vienna. By a Convention between Denmark and Prussia, reeenily concluded, it is declared, that in case of war I etwc.-en the two powers, " 6 the merchants on both sides shall be respected."— ' This convention, though professedly framed for so liberal and humane a purpoie, will, we imagine, have little efficacy ; inasmuch as it is not to be enforced on either side, except under the circumstance of actual war—a state of things by which all treaties of every kind.are superseded; unless, indeed, both parties find it for their interest to observe.them. • It is said of the celebrated Rothschild, that he had the -wacky., previous to the late fall in the French and Prussian Stocks, to sell out of the former at the price of nearly 80, and to get rid of the latter at a 10 per cent. prentinm. The four brothers, who compose the firm of ltothsebiltl, have been successively admitted among the German Nobility, with the title of Baron de Rothschild, by the Emperor of Austria, and by the King of PrusiiiL Extract of a letter from the agent to Lloyd's at Gibraltar, dated Rid alt.—" By letters received hers from Tunis, by his Excellency the Tunisian Ambits :odor., it is .announced that a contagious disease has made its appearance in that city, but it was not as certained whether it is the plague. or a fever similar to that stated to have raged there a few years back. By the last accounts from Tangiers, received here on the 17th inst., the plague still continued to rage with great violence ; the number of deaths from the 3d to the .16th inst. inclusive amounted to 272. It also rages at Aexilla, ond 'has extended itself to a village. near Lambe, named Hadael Farhia. At Teluan and Meettinix,. a disease is raging, supposed also tube the plague." We have the pleasure to congratulate the country on the safe return of every individual of the British ston tingent of the late Army of Occupation in France ; and we should be deficient in our duty, if we suffered the opportimity to pass, without paying a well-merited compliment to the Officers of his Majesty's Navy, to whom were entrusted the arrangements for embarking the 'troops and horses at Calais. To-the unwearied heal' and unremitting attention-of these Officers, under Pro vidence: we owe it, that 29,700 men, 2900 women. 2,800 children, and 7,700 horses, were shipped ms • board the transports in Calais harbour, in 28 days, without .an.acci :eat, being two days within the time prescribed by Government.

There is a very odd rumour in circulation in this capital, aboet the arer:val of a personage, who,.it is supposed, has been sent by the Con,•zress ut ells-la•Ch3. pelle with some commission to King Ferdinand; and the must curious thing is, that a great Many people, who think themselves very well intbrined in political matters, are very housy in makiiv conjectures *bunt the a:abject of this strange message.* A.

We are surrounded here with spies and -Women; no one dares to communicate his opinions to anotki?; front hence flows a want ()fount:Aimee, which we can not Gull words to deFeril:e. The evils which are pm.. ihiced by the scouage of the human race are of such a kind, that no person, however high his rank, is secure against its attacks. report is whispered., with great mystery, that a plot of these villains. has been awe vered, the Object of which was to implicate different granlees of Spain, and the Captain General of !Vett Castile, Don Gaspar de Vigodet, in a charge °facile ing to subvert the existing Government, and to unins. tote in its stead an olarchy like that of Venice. Tlie number of persons intended to be affected by this infe'rhal plot amounts, it is said, to Go, 'besides several othels who are accused of agreeing to so-operate with them. The whole scheme is reported to have been nrgnniond by persons in office, who, however, are merely instru ments in the hands of the clerical faction, ut the 101.41 of which are the Pope's Nuncio, the Patriarch of .the maul the Inquisitor General. The state of this country is dreadful. The roads ar e infested with robbers to such a degree, th at travelling, even tier the shortest -distance, is unsafe. Thepoverty of the people is overwhelming, the want. of money severely felt, and every thing announces an approach.. jog and inevitable catastrophe. 4 1]Thete was a report at Aix-la-ChapeUe of an autograph Isola having been sent to King Ferdinand .from the Allied Soecrogiu, in .which the Spasish King was advised to change Lis measures.] The ,QUEEN'S WILL, &C.—lt naw appears &reds that her lute Majesty had no other property to befiebth bitt her diamonds : they .are to be divided annurrille Princesses, iu equal proportions. A valuation hasheen taken, and these jewels arc estimated at little shirt of a .million sterling. The codicil' to the will disposes of the Queen's ready money, viz. four thousand pounds ! The other property, namely, the wardrobe, goes to the unmarried daughters ; it is very valuable.; tirr a Lady of high rank, many years attaches to the Household. observed, ." Her Majesty was the richest Queen in ' Europe in wardrobe.'' KEW PALACE.—It is supposed to be the Prince Re genes intention to make Kew Palace one-of his princi pal summer residences. It is certain very extensive alterations are about to be made there. The old pa lace, and its out -offices, which have :ong been in a mo.-t ruinous state, are to be taken down immediately, and a new house erected a little to the east of their present site, directly fronting the avenue of Kerr-green ; at the head of which will be the grand entrance to tho whole, instead of the present circuitous route under the garden wall by the river. This wall, too, is to be increased- in height, and extended along the side of the river as fr.r as to the ferry, taking in the row of noble elms opposite the new palace, and thewholc of the embankment made by order of the King, except a towiug path. Theen. tire space thus enclosed, as well as the private gardeus between the old palace and the river, will be planted with a screen of loft) evergreens, so as to entirely ex clude all prospect of the very unpicturesque buildings of Brentford. The Prince Regent has appointed Major General Taylor to the office of Master of St. Katli.trine's }los pital, near the Tower, vacant by. the. death of the lute Major I,esbrowc.
