Prussia has made a private agreement with Messrs. Hope and Baring, by virtue of which she obtains her payments previous to the period stipolated iu the new Convention by the four great Powers. A letter from Count Stolherg, formerly Grand Master of the Court of the Prince of Ilolsteiti- Eigeo, on his conversion to the Catholic religion, has been pt.blished in Germany and Italy. It is dated Munster, Oct. 11, 1800, end addressed to Count Smettau, brother of the Princess of GOitsin, who had desired to know the reasons of the author's change of religion. Count Stolberg stales, that Pro testanism appeared to him on the point of dissolu tion ; that he was struck with the contrary spectacle which the Catholic Church presented, amidst all the persecutions and storms it had sustained ; and, finally, that he supposed truth to be on the side in which be bad seen so much virtue and courage. The Company which has obtained permission to search the bed of the Tiber, has published its pro. spectus. After adverting to the different attempts previously made, it is observed—" What ought not to be hoped from a Company, which by a simple and %inexpensive process, proposes to search the bed of this rich river, between the Porta Milvius and the Ponta d'Ostra, with machines that will separate all tither substances from the earth which forms the bed of the ricer. Though Historians do not indicate with precision, ti;.. valuable objects, the metallic riches, the works of architectrire, a nd remains Of the fine arts, which hue been thrown into the Tiber, various circumstances nevertheless authorize the belief, that a great quantity of ancient relics of high value are contained in that river." This un• dertaking, which is authorized by the Papal Go vernment, is to be supported by subscriptions of 120 shares of 500 scodi each, 200 of which will be restored ,on the termination of the enterprise. All the articles found are to be collected in a mass, end a price filed by persons caps'' ahem. The Government is to have the a purchaser, and to be allowed an OW sixth of the price.

Some hardy political speculators in Germany already prophesy another Congress, which they say will take place in the year 1821. An oracle from Cadiz mentioning the arrival in that Wronr of the valuable ship La Preciosa, from Lima, adds, that, notwithstanding she has brought a lage cargo of merchandise, with 302,240 piastres in specie, a great stagnation is still felt in public affairs; money is very scarce ; and that the course of (=hangs is absolutely nominal. Several Resolutions respecting Labourers' Wages passed et a Meeting of the Magistrates of the lien dred of Ploughley, hoiden at Bicester, en the llth el November last, have been published, but which.' we have been prevented from noticing by the length of the details of the late Royal Funeral. Their ob ject'is to discountenance and correct the pernicious practice of having the wages of labour paid partly nut of the Peon' Rates, by causing those who employ work•people to pay them a full and fair remunera tion for their exertions. To effect this object, they ascertain the portion of time constituting a day's labour, and declare the amount of wages that ought I to be raid as a compensation for it. These regale tions, of clurse, refer only to the ordinary agri. cultural it.boureft, or those whose work for the most part regal:ft nothing move thin the exercise of physical strength. It is indeed' aftbject of sorrow and surprise, that a necessitycceld have existed foil -having recourse to such an eepediest... Labour is theei sole property of the industrious -poor, and we ail hardly imagine an action mere ongeneroas and crest than to withhold from them the fall recompense of their exertions, The Magistrates whir tat it Wester mey, that 66 et the present time a Ma Sad his wife 'caunot reclaim less then 7s. 6d. a-work to preside them sustenance, feel, rent, and other fveCaila• ries, and for each of their children under ten years of age, not les, than is. 6d. tr.stek.".

With respect to the weekly sum stated by the Magistrates at Bicester, as necessary for the snap. port of a labouring man and his wife, it is impos sible to express a decided opinion, because this can he ascertained solely by reference to the prices of all the necessaries of life at tl•ct place where the rain of wages is declared.

So great was the anxiety of some individuals to witness the departure of the funeral procession of her late MAJMY from Kew, that ten guineas were offer ed for a paltry room in Breetford. without success.

Lord CASTLE ! REAGU'S new school of Diplomatists and Portfolio holders from Ais-la•Chapelle, and 'tile DuiLe. of W ELLINGTON'S Staff, well planted and Wrenched at the Ordnance. Office, we fear we may yet expect to see the standard of the Holy Alliance, like' Lord, CASTLEREAGH'S eloquence, making as marry eon., quests over common tense and the liberties and purses of the People of this country, as ever.— We have already stated the intended retirement of Lord MulostAvE, to make way for the Duke of WELLINGTON in the Cabinet, and to secure and further provide for the WELLES LEY interest. Tishl is a poject in perfect accordance with the present giorioue system, of which the Noble Duke has been v.a successfel a supporter in the field. Whether Itle Grace's rare talents iu the Cabinet, and his eloquence' in the Senate will surpass the luminous displays of his friend CASTLEIIELGU, time must show ; but there is some reason to supra that a considerable portion of oratorical ability, besides Lord CASTLEREAGH'S un common gift of speech, will be netesiaiy to espliin and defend the mysterious arrangements of the late Congress at Ain•la-Chapelle. Lard Liesnelai3l.; k is said, has long felt uneasy in his piece • • LONDON: ^ it" 4 fl. •. —be bits so much to defend. It is again an: timed that his Lordship will quit office len.' mediately after Parliament is made " as well se (painted as from the nature of the circumstances it can he," with the results of the late Congress at Aix-ta•Chapelle. In the meantime, however, helms to remain to defend and justify the measures adop'ed at this assembly of Sovereigns, and particularly to support the part taken by the United Kingdom at the‘e celebrated conferences. When Parliament shall decide on the character of these proceedings, it it said his Lordship, who is not an old man, will wire into the bosom of his family, resigning the arena of politics to the moiii bustling spirits that are to be introduced by Load CASTLIREAOH. With the Premier, it is nut to certain that the Loan CHANCELLOR, one of lho most active and laborimet Members of the Cabinet, and who, as 'Keeper of the PRINCE REGENT'S ConfiCienCe l is said to possess more influence over the mind of his Royal High ness than any man in England, Lord YARMOUTH excepted, will deliver up the Great Seal, and retire to his country-house, with the tremendous fortune necessarily made by the multitude of Bankrupt Com missions (proofs of the national prosperity) w*b haufpassed through his Lordship's hands. Such are the statements still in circulation. The death of her Mausea, and the new organization of the frame of Parliament, will doubtless occasion some political j changes ; but it is not a little remarkable, and moth lying enough, that whatever changes now take place, the Public are in nowise the better for them—they ate all made to aggruste the sum of public evil, instead of tending to diminish it--even the fall of the Wind/ son usonster of Corruption is only likely to gipe birth to another Hydra, with mouths equity Deese.
