THE NATIONAL REGISTER: V. °Won, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 27, is 14. 787 Girard Duke Constantine who was to hay , • be.u► at dre s. ball on the loth, left Vienna on the )t.. for Warsaw. His •:Ilject is said •o be to•take possession of Poland, and then discuss its propriety afterwards. Prussia has set the ex• ample. On the side of Italy every thing appears uncertain, and we are told, that the Princes of Italy transmit memorial after memorial, but are kert ilmorant of their fate The Papal dominions, it is said, were in a great measure to he secular ized pro lhmo ppb,cro. While the Ministers of the great continental Pow's are thug bus v in cutting and carving for themselves, Lord Castle r,,agli and Count Munster are busy in endeavouring to pro em e the aysgrandizement of Hanover. But Ole territories toe' asked for, have been refusPd, and am mg the rest the Duchy of Oldenburg. The Puke, supported by Russia, refures to retire on half pay, like the unfortunate Frederic Augustus. The British nation cannot hut admire the disinterestedness of its government and representative. We keep an army in Flanders for the aggrandizement of Holland, and the efr)rts of our Ministels at Vienna seem confined to the aggrandize. ment of Hanover. A number of reports are stated as to the future dignity of the Emperor. Some of them say, that the Imper ial Dig. ity is to be restored. NV e apprehend nothing can yet be finally determined. The same account in the Gazette de France states, t"at an important Declaration has just bf.en delivered by the Minis ter of a certain great Power to the other Ministers. Which Power is here alluded to we are ignorant, but we pre s ume it must be France, who backed by Austria, is said to be bent upon saving Saxony. To explain the mystery of this Congress that was to realize the ideas of the great Henry, is beyond our power. Wheu the armies of the various Parties shall be ready for the field, and the season fit for their operations, we suspect that all their debates will be terminated by an appeal to the ultinice Rationei Regnnt. THE CONGRESS at Vienna still continues its deliberations, but in conclave; and, according to report, Lord Castlereagh has declared his opinion that " things are going on well." It remains for us 46 learn what the Noble Lord means Hi by goilig on well." But when it is recollected that, according to T he Chronicle of the Congress, " his eye is every where, and that " he acts the most extensive part, and is powerfully support " ed by Lord Stewart," we might say, " Nil 'ltsperandum." But, as on the other hand, we learn, that the solemn sittings of the Congress are deferred, and deferred indefinitely, we be gin to be a little alarmed ; for, in good truth, we do not be lieve the report in the French papers, that they are to com mence on the 15th. The sv , tem of spoliation and parti tion is not yet, nor is it likely to be soon arranged. It h as atiorded the - finest field for the display of French intrigue that Prince Talley rand could have wished. The French papers state that Austria has renounced her pretensions upon Lusatia, and that the Palatinwe will be given to Bavaria. France adheres to the cause of Saxnny, and M. de Noai!- les has, it is said, protested, but, fr.in recent accounts, it should appear in vain, a,ainst her political annihilation. ia, grasping at every thing, is sr,id to be lookinr , wthi ap anxious eye towards Swi!zerland ; and the N urembere Correspondent talks of the election of that country into a kingdom. In the mean time Prussia is taking possession, apparently with the consent of the Congress, of Saxony. This seems to have urged Rti—ia to dr.velope some of the plans which she has for her aggrandizement. We were some time since told of Lord Castlereagh's protesting against the erection of Poland into a kingdom, and of Alexander telling him that he had I 00,000 men in that country. We now hear that his Minis ter has declared that 600,000 Russians and eight millions of Poles were ready to defend the indipendenee of Poland. This is the right key to strike, and to open to Alexander a road to the completion of those projects that have long been determined upon in the Russian Cabinet. This does not seem to be mere idle speculation, for we learn that the. THE UNITED STATES. From this quarter we have received the details of the State Papers of which we gave the outline last week. The accounts of the n^gotiation at Ghent that have been received since the dispatches brought by the Fingal to the American Plenipotentiaries. have reached their destination : they con• tained nothing that will lead us to ascertain their nature or their spirit. • There has been a flying report of the capture of Sackett's Harbour by Sir George Prevost, which we are sorry to ob serve is not yet confirmed. Still we are not without hopes that it may prove a just anticipation of a most decisive step. We trust we have ground for hope, when we recollect the passage of Sir Ceorge towards Kingston, and that he would have a considerable force there, as well a , the mean!, owing to the commencement of the north-west winds, which gene rally prevail at that season, of sending others up the St. Lawrence. This gives us additional hopes of succe s s. On the subject of the other end of the Lake, we are sorry to find that General Drummond has been obliged to abandon the neck of land between the Lakes Erie and Ontario; though. considering the greater proximity of Sir George to Sackett's Harbour, we are at a loss to discover the policy of General Izard in taking up his winter quarters so far from that important place. We trust that Sir George will prove it . to have been a very incorrect step. ..7
