On Wednesday Paris Papers reached town __ • Some more Frankfort and Brussels Papers also arrived. The Vienna accounts are filled with descriptions of feles i anti some uninteresting details respecting Catholic establistments in Germany, and contain no political news. A Prussian statement from Berlin speaks of the King still persisting in demanding Saxony, and of his being also desirous of obtain ing the Duchies of Mecklenburg; the Duke's obtaining an pdemnity on the left bank of the Rhine. There does not appear, however, any reason to believe that the two houses of Meckleuhurgh will consent to any such exchange. There is nothing more revolting to the feeling, than the continual talk in some of the foreign journals, of parcelling out states and exchanging territory, as if the inhabitants were so many brad of cattle. in many of these accounts there is nothing Litt a cold calculation of the population of different portions of territory, with a siew to their serving for indemnities or exchanges, without the slightest regard.to the wishes or in clinations of the people. Upon this sort of plinciple it is alleged, that Prince Ilardenburg had sent an extraordinary courier from Vienna to the Governor of the Middle Rhine, lo procure, as speedily as possible, an exact statement of the snhabitants of the country under his government, for the evident purpose of putting them in the scale of indemnity, and weighing them against the population of some other tetritoiy. it is u . terly impossible that a Congress acting upon such principles can come to any satisfactory conclusion. They may weigh out indemnities or measure them by the league, but the peop!e who are thus made the objects of a sordid traffic, will never forget the means by which they have been humiliatNl and disgraced.--•It is reported that King Joachim Murat had entered Rome at.the head of his troops. The arrests in Italy continticd, and the greatest dis content prevailed there.---The Duke of Wellington arrived at Augsbtogh on the 29:11 ult. pursuing, without delay, his journey to Vienna. Ills Grace was accompanied by his nephew, Mr. Wellesley, Colonel Fieemantle, and two other A ides -de-Cain The train of amusements at Vienna has had an accession of variety, by a fortunate fall of snow, and a grand sledge party. The four first places were assigned, according to the established rules of precedencr?, to the four reigning .Sove feigns who engaged in the sport. The Emperor of Austria led the train, having the Empress of Russia under his care; the Empercr of Russia came next, with the Princess Dowager .of Auetsperg. The King of Prussia occupied the third place, with a Countess Zichy Festititx. The Grand Duke of Baden was fourth. The other places were determined 14 lot. Eugene Beauliarnois was of the party. Lady Cass dlereagh was nearly last, being 31,st of 33 in all, with Count T. Zichy, son of one of the Austrian Ministers. The cars ia;es and the entire set-outs were very splendid; the cava liers and the ladies were superbly dressed. flaying paraded the streets of Vienna, the party drove to the palace of Schoeia- Lruu, where a splendid dinner was prepared. In the even ing the opera of Cinderella was performed, with some ballets prepared for the occasion. At the close the party returned to the palace at Vienna by torch light. Friday - , Paris and Brussels Journals arrived, the former to the 7111 imtant. The accounts in them from Vienna, state that Lord Castlereagh had submitted a propsirion to Con giess for the general abolition of the Slave Trade, which it bad been at length agreed should be dismissed in a General Committee, eon , isting of the Ministe:s of all the great rowers. It is added, that all the Powers, in doing homage pp the general principle, insist that the trade shall not be holishe , l, except after a certain number of years. As to the valet points before Congress, nothing-is yet to ba found of FEB. 12. ; ' SO hopeless had the Plenipo tentiaries become of any speedy termination of their labours, that. some. of tbem had. sent for their wives .IQ consololliem during their protracted stay, whilst others had gone home, intending to return when the negociations were more ad vanced. Italy appears to continue in a state of great fermen tation. It is again said that the Austi ian territories there are to form a kingdom, to be called the Kingdom of Upper Italy, of which it is added Venice is to be the capital. Murat is reported to have surrounded Rome with his army, and to have issued a proclamation, in which be lowers the Pope to Oe : mere title of Bishop of Rome; but none of the state ments present themselves in . an authentic shape. Kilig Joachim has been lately addressed by the Nobility of his kingdom; in his answer he uses the following expression: " Our first want is the independence of the nation. This Is "Utilized: it is secured by the valour of my army."• A re markable declaration is stated in a Swiss Journal to have been transmitted by the ci-devant King of Sweden to Sir Sidney Smith, to be delivered to the Congress, in which he alleges that his act of abdication was signed under duress, and he therefore revokes it,. declaring at the same time that he bad never renounced the throne of Sweden in the name of 'his son. Frankfort Papers to the 3d,. and Brussels to the jth iust. were received 'on Friday. They have some warlike specula tions referring•to the movements of troops, and the keeping up of large armies; and contain a few further details front Italy respecting the discontents that prevail there, and the dispute between King Joachim and the Pope. A spy from Elba is said to have been arrested at Civita Vecchia. The contents of these papers are under the head Forei4n Intelli- geuce. A Commission has been appinted by the king of France to proceed through the departments which suffered in the . Vendean war, and to enquire upon the spot into the suffer ings and situation of the widows and orphans of the brave Royalists, who were so barbarously Isutchered during the sanguinary contest in La Vendee. The Commissioners have . been every where teceived with gratitude. The Jews; are allowed to reside at Rome only on condition of their appearing once a week in a Church where Mis sionaries arc appointed to recommend their conversion. Vergers patrole the aisles, and touch with a white wand the yellow badge on the shoulders of those who fall asleep. The . richer Jews attend with cotton in their ears. There is usually about Easter an annual conversion of some Jew, who is baptised with great exultation, and liberally rewarded. fie often relapses again about Christmas, in order to be ready for the next anniversary triumph of the faith. The Jesuits are said to have been very successful in pro pagating Christianity at Tunis, where they have a college. In different cities of Africa they have found powerful pro tectors. An envoy sent by the Pope to inquire into the state ,of the Catholic religion iu the Netherlands, has been sent out of the country. By Papers received from the United States, it appears that the insurrections in several parts of South America are ac quiring strength, while the means of repression on the part of the Spanish Government are diminishing. We learn that the combined troops of Buenos Ayres and Chili had towards the end of last year, completely routed the Royalist army of Peru. On being informed of the defeat of the army, the people of Lima and other parts immediately revolted, and declared Peru independent. According to these accounts, Guayaquil was the only town in Peru which remained in the hands of THE NATIONAL 'REGISTER: , 1110=11111=11 nVin to the 6th inst. It any deciiion or arras
