6•!;st THE NATIONAL REGISTER. OCT. 8. renewal of hostilities; but ihe circumstance of the fixing on so distant a day, strengtheus the pacific indi cations held out by the continuance of the negotiations at Alien burg. The want of fire-wood began to be severely felt, when the French (soternment granted the piece of brush-wood adjoining fehoenbrimn, for the relief of the more necessi tous classes of inhabitants of this capital. - All of them are hurrying thither to lay iu their stock of fire-wood, - which some fetch in carts, and others carry on their backs. The improvidence of the late Administration of Vienna is assign ed as the cause of the present scarcity of wood and wine. Since the' Armistice a considerable supply has been procur ed from Ilungarv. The inhabitants, nevertheless, may, on the whole, think theiesdves fortunate, when they compare their situations with that of the Uobeinians. 'the posses sion of Poland by the allied troops, has completely cut off their supplies 'of grain and cattle. The part of Moravia which the Austrians still occupy cannot maintain itself ; and the scanty supply of provisions which they can draw from If i!ngary, must be brought from the other side of the Jablunka. The Austrian Emperor in his lantfleneral Orders, adverts to the prolongation of the armistice, his assent to which, he says. " is to be attributed, not to a sense of feebleness, but to his affection for his subjects, and his anxiety to ad vert from them the calamities of war." His Majesty, in this production, repeats the assurance with which the Ge nem! Order of the 164 h concludes. tlll,llkei EN, Scrr. 15.—A person who has arrived here from the Grand ArrrlT, affirms, that a now armistice has been' concluded for the period of ore month, upon condi tion, that should peace not take place within that terre hostilities shall not rc-cfrnmence until a month after the' eApiration of !h.- armistire. • 1 3 Aass, Stet. 25.--lioters from Strasburg!), of the 22d instant, state, th the armistice, which expired on the 20th of this month, has been prolonged for one month, with an additional stipulation that hostilities are not to I n recommenced till six Weeks after notice shall have been givers of the armistice being at an end ; they cannot, there fore, be renewed before the sth of November.

AlAerman % brought forward the motion which he had mentioned at the former Court, and which he thought it became the honour and dignity of the Court to take into their most seri ous colaideratint,. It had been mentioned by a Gentleman on the other side (Mr. Mammas) that his reason for wishing the dinner to be at the e•zpeNce of the Corporation was, that there would be hardly any atteence, if indivi ,- :uals were callsd upon to pay fur their diancr.

The first that occurred to him was, liberating the prisoners for debt, in the City of London.
