His carriage was at thwdoor, and all his servants were in readiness to start. The same nws e' senovr, who did not proceed further thou Paris. set outlast night at eight ticlack from the hotel of the English Embassy, with despatches for his Grace at Verona. As a report prevailed that the road by the Simplon had been blocked up by sante, the inel4Cll gee was to proceed by Lyante, chainbery, Mont Cenis, and Turin, which is the usual post-road from Italy, and is open all the year. 'the Marquis of Lendonderry bad left Vienna for Verona, and did not mean to return after Congress to the diScharge of his diplomatic duties at the Court of Austria. He had broken up his establish ment, .sold his horses, discharged his servauts, and disposed of every thing which was not necessary fir his journey, or which he did not mean to take home witu him.

The director of Mice could mot comply with the request, nor in fact grant any in dulgence; but offered to state the matter to M. de Peyronnet, and to send Sir Robert his answer.
