THE NAVONAL REG/STER. • X I :Q •f 1.... 1 l aud !--The King of France paid a visit to Vcrsaille on Thursday last. An article from Vienna states, that Lord Castleteagh, and the Ministers from Russia, Austria, and Pruss;a, are to meet in that capital on the toth of next n n for the purpose of settling the bases of the intended arrangemen's ; that on the 27th, the Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia are ex pected there, who having, conjointly with the Emperor of Austria, ratified the bases, the Congress will he opened on the Ist of October, to which the Ministers of all the states of Europe, interested in the general pacification, will be admitted. These Papers also state that his Holiness the Pope has demanded the restoration of the three legations of Bololoin, Ferrera, and Romagna, and the re-establishment of the Pa triarchate of Venice, proposals which have becu hot little realised by the Austrian Court. The Pontiff has also de sired the evacution, by the king of Naples (Murat) of the Nlargoi:sate of Ancona and the Duchy of Urbino. His llo liness appears thinly determined to asset t what lie considers to be his rights, but it will of course depend upon the Con gress of Vienna, as to how noteli is be granted him.-----The A logs of Bavaria and Wuttemburgh, the Grand Dukes of Baden and Darmstadt, and several. other German •!:ove reigns weir preparing to set ow for vicuna to attend the Como ess. article in the French Papers, states, that in order to bring the Island of Domingo into a proper btafe of culti vation, tel thousand nine hundred and seventy-one negroe6 roust be imoorted during every year of the ensuing five veil's, allowed by the Ticaty of Peace for the continuance of that abominable traffic ! Our feeble ctlorts in the eauF.e of Poland have [wen bo roured with the approbation of those who feel and appre • ciate her injuries. But we fear her fate is inevitable. It would he folly to suppose that our -good A Ifics would take any steps that hal not the concurrence of England. Fatal filet ! that developer all tint we have to apprehend, and all that we ca n suffer.

It matters not if crime be perpetrated by one ge neration and enjo:,cd by another, the atrocity is still the same, only ag.,;ravated by 9.-ofesions and in defiance of a period ton etilkz! , .:ened, we hope, for an unjust, cruel, and vindictive policy.

The land forces of the Revolutionists before the pl;:ce had been considerably strengthened by the arrival of fre , h troops. It will be obvious that the treaty between the Viceroy of Lima and Chili was entered into in the confidence that the Constitution of the Cortes was ac knowledged in the mother country; and it i , not iwprobable ArG. 21. that the whole will be rendered nugatory 1)) tll counter revolution in that ldngdom. It would appe.o. by the private communications, that the t:.ale with Chili is now op en to evcry state at peace with Spain. ;et nothing in the treaty will admit of -such a construction. We have learnt an awful lesson by the War which i s j ust terminated in Europe, how we engage in such contests Of all the belligerents, we, who had no busness iu the fray, have sult'ered the most by it. This may be regarded as a pa. radox by those who have not contemplated the matter with impartial eves. But it is capable of an easy solution. Th e countries that were the seat of hostilities, and where the wort rapine and desolation took place, had but a temporary suffering. Crops were destroyed, and towns and v'llages were burn`; but crops will be reproduced on the .same land, a nd a h eady we are told of new towns and villages rising out cf the old, to which, as a nation, eve have libet ally contributed. But tire. reitilt of our interference is a burden that will des cend to our pos!erity—an evil that halt a century of peace cannot cure, and which has put us in a situati paratiyely with our nei , ghhours, ne...y and most They who have attentively re:.cl the abstract of ti of the 4,:orn Commi!tee, will see that a new era upon us.
