Or the result of the conferences at zlitenburgh, we are )et uncertain, although foreigu Papers of a date so recent as the 7th inst. will be found in a suhstquent column of our Paper. The protrac tion of the negotiation we arc inclined to view as favourable with respect to Austria. The European possesf.itois of the Gratul Seignior, to us, appear the most probable subject of discussion, by which the cut:elusion of peace has been retarded. That this vent has taken place, it wig be seen is reported as usual—but the silence of the bat teries at Boulogne is decisively against that event. The dethronement of the King of Saxouy appears improbable, absurd, and incrcdibk. For what, in she midst of the Negutiation with Austria is NAPOLEON so foolish, or so confidcntly desperate, as to renouuee an Ally from whom, in the late contest, be has re. ceirs.l assistance so efficient ? ,Ths consequence would necessarily be a diminution of his own force, with a proportionate accession to that of Austria. The Wpimg of SAXONY is literally the creature of NAPOLEON ) and we have nut seen the smiAlmtest realon to doubt the sincerity— crii4iniy not the efficiency of his co-operation. As to his having manifested a disposition to disloyalty, in consequence of 'the allegtxl ex communication of the Puns—it is, we think, unworthy of attention. A report of the rup ture of the Armistice accompanies that of peace tetween France and Austria—and the sick. 'less of NAPOLEON at Vicuna is repeated—but from the Journals of the Continent, except so far as regards Ryder' documents, we have almost as little correct information as (ruin those of Eng. lam!—and that, Con knows, is little eneugh— falsehood ald invention, nineteen times out of twenty, ride triumphaut over tr4th in the Emig. lish Editors, who . imitate Young Wildin; in The Citizen, in their love of fiction and embaishment. 'Possibly the sickness of NAPOLEON may turn out to be just as true as his madness after the battle of Aspern. For our t, own parts, we believe nothing that is reported, unless it is supported by7probu bility, or by official documents, and even then, cum grano salis, with great allowance. From the lalainous matter of The Past, the hark. quip Courier, false and perfidiuiti'as fop, change able as the Castellon, venal as Shsiock, and dull as monotony can make it, we usually find the safest course in drawing conclusions directly op posite to their assertions, and, in so doing, we have generally found that we have reached the truth. M I NISTERS have at length undertaken an Expe. dition upon precautionary principles—the fleet of transports conveying reinforcements to Lisbon, is accompanied by another fleet—of empty trans ports—so that the Viscount of TA LA VERA may, in the event of his once more advancing, be en. abled to take tip *final position by evacuating the Poninstila altogether, should he deem the Inking up such a position expedient. Ferrol and Corun a& are probably ere this in the baud. of the " cursed Souvr"...and the Viscount may possibly yet be with us in time to assist at the celebration of the Jubilee of the Consinercial where he might be seated between the Civic De- ENES and the modern Cifek:so, while some Ttstartt►.rs should sing— •" Twas at the ciAr (ran for Damns woo, By W EI. c.'ss.tv's warlike fon: 'Aloft in City state, The molting beret sat, tla his Baronial Throne: His Joss and 3pscrlate►s pissed stemma, Their brows with Leans, with Jobs, and Contracts brand, So should the love if pelf be crown'd." inr tics catifoLa QVAM GLADIVS. iiinttong kilistA mon than the word. The change of Ministers proceeds slowly—and on the 'object of the new Cabinet, secrecy so im _ penetrable is observed, u to induce many people pew to believe Oast the whole set are determined $. stick by their places. We are of a different •••.11.,....., - opinion—some of them Must retire, hdiever re luctantly, and will doubtless cast many " a long ing, lingering look behind." TUE retention of Macho-cm beconirs daily INS pruhAble—provisotts, wat(r, and every other ar ticle must go from hence, and some points of the (-laud are, it seems, certainly, within cannon shot of Bereland, so that our troops will have a pretty time of it. A Cabinet Council was held ou Saturday at the Foreign Officr. Au Austrian Courier arrived in town on Satter. day with dispitches CO Prince STAR RESIIIIRCI. Yesterday evening dispatches from Portugal were delivered at the Office of Lord Cestetuseori, in Downing.street. Dispatches from Lord A DIRERST were received I yesterday morning at the Foreign Office. Dispatches were also received at the Foreign Office from Lord See SNGFORD at the Brazils. A Supreme Chamber of Accounts has limn established at the Hague ; the salaries of its font. I tiouaries amount 111111/311y to 150.000 florins. The Westphalian army is computed at 213,000 men, and its maintenance consumes one third of 1 the revenues of the State, ur about 20 millions of franks. Some commercial arrangements hare lately been made between the Bengal Government and several Chieftains on the coast of the Red Sea, %hick promise to lir attended with mutual advantages. Two reginieuts are under orders for the West Indies to replace the 37th ana 63d, now reduced to a skeleton, and just returned by the last West India Fleet. When the fleet left Martinique, Sir G. RENEW/TS was said to be preparing an expo. dition against Guadeloupe; and Sir G. PREVOST was expected with a force from Halifax. The Swedish limbassy to Paris arrived at SIM. sund un the 2Sth, after having been detained eight days at Ystailt, by contrary winds. The Turkish. Company hare received official ad. vices of the defeat of the Russians by the Turks. The latter are stated, In the official dispatch, to have sent to Constantinople whole cargoes of ears cut from the vanquished, they not having a sulfi. civet number of ships at hand to transport their heads. The frigate building in Itchen river, Southamp. ten, is to be ready to Pannell uext•teotith. The line of battle ships so song built i le there and at slum. bit, will be ready in the Spring. It was rumoured at Copenhagen on the Rath ult. that an Feiglisleforce had occupied the Island of Lessee, in the Cattegat. The fortifications of Passau, which hare been Carried on for some time with great activity, are nearly finished. The forts -surrounding the city are called forts Napoleon, Maximilian, Joseph, Eckmuhl, Abensberg, &e. BONA PART L'S birth-dee was celebrated at Vienna with the greatest pomp. The citizens were paraded in the morning, and were entertained its the even ing with fire-works let off on the glacis. The whole city was illuminated, and the Taeatres ex.l hibited gratuitously. To the poorer classes a quantity of provisions .ad liquar were distri. buted. All the civil and military authoritica at tended Te Deana at St. Stephen's, and nearly 300 pieces of cannon were fired throughout the day. It is mentioned in the Heligoland letters, that the King of SasoNY has been dethroned by Bo- NA PA RTE. General Rename (sun of the ci.derant French Director), who was dismissed the service of 80. N %PARTE for not bating acted with more effect against the Doke of BRUNSWICK 0E1.3, is about to embark at Embden, with his lady, for North America. A Gentleman, who is a merchant of Roussillon, and who s in his progress to the northern coast passed through Paris, Ilea just arrived in England by an American ve.ssel. Ile says, that the clean. tity of corn so much exceeds the demand of the population, that the farmers cattiest pr o cure a price sufficit et to compensate them for their labours and charges; that the commercial and manufac. luring interest is expiring, and that very wit and general discontent prevails, en account of the bel. ligerent spirit of the Government, a Icicle, in the pursuit of remote conquests, aeantleiis all the in. tenor concerns of the Empire. This account sic deem unworthy of credit. Extract of a Later from an Officer of Artil. lery, d del Vevre, Island of Walcheren, Sept. 10 :—" We are making every preparation in our regiment to act on the defensive. lam going to. morrow ei lake charge of a battery on Armingilen Point, which is erectiug there in order to prevent thee enemy from landing, if they attempt such a thing from liereland. I was over in North Beve. laud yesterday to ascertain the distance from this to the nearest point in Bevelaud where the enemy could erect batteries. find we arc within can non-shot of them, therefore, if they bring d0z.....t heavy ordnance, they will annoy at at reere. We are very well elf hero fur provisions, but we have consumed all the port wine in the country, and we are anxiously looking out for ships from Guernsey for a supply. The medical mon desire es to drink as much of it as we can get. I follow their advice, and have not been at all unwell yet. Our troops hava be in general very unhealthy, owing to the heat of the weather, and being ex. posed at night to the heavy dews ; but (ley are getting better quickly, now that tle'y are settled in quarters." The election of a Representative for the 80. roughs of Pembroke, Tetchy, and Wiston, to suc. coed the late Sir Boon Owe's, Bart. took place at Pembroke, on Wednesday last, when Jolty Lose, Esq.

On the subject of races, his Grace of York and the new-made Baron w ill be considered by !owe_ rity as oracles of information. The Baron and his family arc cscelltitt Pilots—but it is doubtful whether they will be able to weather the storm. even with the pans aid of their dumestiz Pilot in the Strand.
