Nfitnrilly ellls for our fir:A attentions. 'lad the idea of f 1; autiable and great Henry, of establishing a Senate of Sovereigns, at ti 4 bar of whose tribunal *ere to be heard and redreved the complaints of the different sewers with out the intervention or file ullirna' rationis Re g ain, have been near realization, greater expectations as to its re tilts could not have been excited. In a moment of generous enthusiasm, it seems to have been . intended to open it on the Anniversary of the Battle at Leipsic—of the Battle of Leipsic, where all the selfish passions were quelled, where the murmurs of ambition were hushed, and where Europe was. in arms to rid the world of its disturber. A poli tical milleniumappeaied to be approaching ; but scarcely had the dangetc disappeared—searcely had the Modern I therius sought refuge in hiq Caprea—scarce:y had a glance been cast on the late oppressed Europe, than al; the passions of ambition and aggrandizement, which, it was too well calculated at the moment to excite, got into full play. The Congre , s was to meet early in October. it appears this delay is to be ascribed to a difference of opinion who were to In' ad:Ili:AM to the conference, the 1 3 31 e claimed his former territer'es, the Al:bot of St. Gall his .share, Ferdinand the Inticisition a7.d destrection of Freemasonry, Russia toa7grandize herself by , ;leminal re-eqablishment of Poland., Prussia to become sovereign of Saxony - , Austria dispose: of Italy, all scu;ht their own intereFt. _ _ To the temporary paralysis of t7te Fr.2nch diplomatic machiic are, we fear, to ascribed tin! 111 , e 'unanimity about nd after the. pe7.••e of Paris. Consideraile credit lir., due to Lord Cast!ercagh for ItV co:!(turt on this oc caskn , but, mtteh as we admire ti,e No!)le Lord's com placenoy, we fear that fl is delay is the result of the ma chinations 'Of (11,7 Frenc.ll Cabinet. delay that ii ac compani' with an "Lappy omen " wb:ch Enrope is to re ceive as such, and, "at the same inst:tnt to believe that France is in no way j-ealons of any advantages which other states may reasenaL!y cxpe t, and only desireF the re-es tablishirmat of a just of power." Moderate ! most moderate ! " word., frty T.nrd whero stole von them." Hence, all is in vo:ved mvsterv . : eNeept that it ap rars to . belha detevniinatien "1 the ailforent Sovereigns to leave Vi:nna soon after ale Ist Nol-1-nly'r. Then they *ill obtain what they can, and afterwards will trust to the effects of ordinary intrigue and common force, to fill up the circle of thrit wants. • • Germany ntEmig an ample field for change. Many mre!l informed men have long announced that country as ride for a revolution. The period me apprehend to be fast ai.i,roaching. .The Vienna at:counts tell, that " The wull•kno4n dispnsitiois nf the angnit Sovereigns leave tloubt of the re-niti4 foctimute, 4,4! efinfininuYe to the viWws of the ycovlc of (Ligniany, t'or the Nowt* art: cuatrigeti OCT. 30. thiit the Empire must have a constitution which Fhail cant inr all its partA.itao one great body, And rbncentrate its strength against every enemy, whother flreign or domestic." . And we arc much mistaken if the recent events which have happened in that country do not urge the' necessity of some measures being taken to combine its parts into one great body, and concentrate its strength. Irpon a view of th 2 whole of eau., it appears probable, • that let the Cilfigress meet when it tnay, the different TlTembQrs will Out separate to pursue their dif. feient inte;ests. In the relative situation of France to Russia and to Anstula, there ray be r44ric slight alterations take place ; owing to the temp:log situa!ion of Tuikey. THE UNITED STATES. The next interesting sulk& is our negociations. and wer with Ault country. In another place will be found oor opinion as tl the d'ssolsoion Of the commission at Ghent. The iedivideals themselves seemed, at the last aceoonts, to have been prepared for it. It should appear also by the (Hay, that while 'our Ilitlisters were amused Irith 411 idea that the United Sotes had been isolated from all European int-rest ; that the !louse Of Boorbou, a' well as Alexander, had been receiving de die in diem accouno bf its progress ; and doubtless becance they felt themselves interested in the " Droit Public" of Eer- , pe. Indeed, it is farther alleged, that accounts ware transmitted to Vi enna, and that when Lord Castlereagh signified, in eon,. sequenco of the remonstrances of Prince Talleyrand, that the question on maritime rights was discussed in Belgium, the British Minister was distinctly informed, that nothing of this kind had been in any form introdnced as matter of deliberation with the Plenipotentiaries at Gle-nt. Here there seems to he an error somewhere. The di plomatiSts appear to have given OM another the conteadl tion llat. In good truth, we should hope that Talleyrand was rght ; for never would we wish —never, do we most devoutly hope—never, do we most confidently trust, to hear of a discussion as to Maritime RightS, -except t the cannons mouth. And such, we nra convinced, li:ei been t . the conduet of his Majesty's Minifters. I The saee conductor of The Times affects to disbelieve that there is any intimacy or connection between the Bourbons, and " the successor of the noted Joel Barlow, 4 i at Paris , and the American Commissioners at Ghent. It i is imagined that through thibecirePitous channel, the lat- I ter receive the consolation of a certain party in 'the 'French Cabinet ; but the 'Kiii i g, and the more respect able part of the Fri...nch Government knew too well what k due to their honour, to held out hopes of support to a fiction, the most voluntafy servile of all the vassals et Buonaparte. We strongly suspect that however well Donis the I Sth may know *hat " - is due to his own 11011- (41r" that he will not be deaf to his own Interests, merely 1 because Mr. Crawford was appointed by Mr. Madison. As to the war in America, the public mind remains in a great ferment on the subject of the disasters that have re i cently attended the British arms, To justify past del ! is not possible, hot, with every one who knows the Wit ure 1 of the country, the propriety of an advance toward Ver- I mont with I-4000, and, in the month of S:ptomber, avith ont b al e ta r l\'uaetlii Sln ed. riOrity on the Lake and the St. Lawence, will I Our fears as -to General Drummond are excited, by learning that c't cncral 14ard's forces has arrived itt 440'1 TIE NATIONAL REGISTER.
