The Duke of Baden l•as oresented 4 very htrong, note agAinst any curtailment of his tel ritories, avert, lug that he contributed quite as much any other • power, considering his population and lei itories, to the success tf the late contest. He appeals w the Ti eats of Frankfort. and demands the execution of it. His Royal Highi,e.o, who is nearly related to the mper'al family of Russia, is supposed to have been instigated by the Emperor of Ru ss i a . Three plans are said to have, been proposed by Russia and Prussia relative to Saxony. One the cession of the king. dom to Prussia; second, a change in the dynasty, and the detaching of some of the provinces ; thirdly, the continuing the title in the present . king, hut giving him only a territory containing about 700 or 800,000 souls. The first is the only plan that sound policy recommends. But all these statements deserve to be received with great doubt and cau tion. VIENNA, DEC. g.-With respect to the Congress it ap pears from every thing that we learn, that those who an nounce the pecise day when it will close, deceive them selves and others. The Ministers themselves are as igno taut as the public when they shall het through the immense macs that lies upon their hands. Hitherto it %sas hoped that the world would learn the results at Christmas or New Year, but now we would gladly compound for Easter. The Mo narchs who formerly appeared almost daily in public have lived very retired for sonic time past ; only the Kings o f Prussia and Denmark continue to visit the public eqablish ments and appear in the promenades, without being restrain ed by the unfavourable weather. • An article from the Neapolitan frontiers announces that the Neaoolitan army is about to advance, and that the King of Naples will quit Naples for the purpose of taking the com mand of it on the sth January. This movement is supposed to be concerted with the Austrian Government. THE CONGRESS. Nothin, decisive ap-eats to have vet taken place-0, least in a f •rn,al and a% owed manne , . The ace bunts kom Vienna do not confirm the personal sece , sion of Alexander, although the private letters received from thence deafly indicate that there is a species of mental sore,„ion on the part of that monarch. _ _ r!e cause as we have before stated is said to be a dif ference on the subject of Poland. The Grand Duke Con staiitine is on the Polls!) frontiers, endeavouring, and, we ap prehend that success witl attend him, to raise a Polish ;limy. The accounts from Warsaw state that the public monies at tba capital are levied on account of the ncwGover_nment. On lie ether hand Saxony appears to have excited stir!) an intrrest as to have procured a prolongation to its political cxisr:nc., On the subject of Bavaria, \Virtemberg, &c. we can learn nothing decisive; while we are given to understand that the Comtress is to continue its Sittitl2S till March, in order that the t . :l'l. • f key may be decided ;in short, once rendered 60),p, view to the views of the preponderating Powers, it offers a fair field for partition. Servia is said to be in a state of surrection, and Czernv Georges is in Russia. The troops of A lexa , .der are on !he Prtith and every circumstance indicates that Russia will have a large share of the spoil. Papers up to Wednesday last were received yester day. There are articles in them from Vienna to the Inth it lu-ive Preparations had been made for the departure of j the foreign Monarchs from Vienna, but they were on a sud den countermanded, and it is now said they will remain at Vietim till the end of January. They have almost all been indis , osed—first, the Emperor of Russia, then the King of Pross'a, and the king of Wirtemberg. On the 6th the E m peror •of Russia was present at a grand ball given by Count Rasonmousky, in honour of the fete of the Grand D ehess Constantine; but the Emperor and Empress of Austria were not there ; and it has been declared that they will nGt honour with their presence any more balls given by pritate Fersons. Front this absence of the Emperor of Austria front a ball given by a Russian General in honour of a Russian Princess, some persons will infer that a coolness e- - between the two Imperial Courts. It is possible, too, that the indispotition of the ditierent Monarchs may be im puted to political causes. We' should fatigue the patience of our readerf, as well as our own, if we were to dwell on the ditfecent conjectures and speculatious hazarded in the Vienna articles. it is' said, that on the 28th ult. and I t instant, t., s .l(ofal.iin-po kapt resolutions were agreed to relative to Po- .11 . THE UN I I'ED STATES. The accounts from thence tell us of immense preparations of war. These will all end in smoke. The people of New England will not consent to a conscription, tior are they able to raise money fur any thing like war upon a scale so extend ed. The proof of this circumstance is to be found in their Custom-house revenue, that has sunk from 15 millions to 11 million of dollars. The property of 160 persons has been advertized for sale in one district, fur default in the payment of taxes, to which the Government have proposed an addition of 50 per rent. In the mean time Mr. Madison seems to remain in a state of stupid infatuation, and perfectly unaware of the storm gathering and about to burst over his head. His obstinacy is astonishing, and we find a strong proof of it in his official paper, which has given us a statement of the probable result of the next election. Of numbers of voters we know him to have a majority, as great as the superiority which the minority possess in property and influence, if they a e properly used and exerted. The Convention at Uartford was to meet the 15th of this month, and we have only► to reiterate our former opinion, t , : ; o
