• - r the 18th, in an order to the Administrative Autho rities. It is not certain whether this relief applies to French sequestrated property, but it is supposed to be general. Town, OCT. 27.—A corps of iruegarian hussars, and many of the Officers of the regiment of Maria Louisa, went as far as the banks of the Taro to meet the Princess bf Wales on the day of her arrival at Parma. Letters from teghorn of the 18th announce that 110 Poles, who bad arrived there from the Isle of Elba, and already set out for Parma, were obliged to return to the place from which they had departed. Bnosszt.s, Nov. I.—The Prince Sovereign of the Netherlands considering that under the existing law, in respect to marriage, the civil magistrate may join in wedlock persons between whom there may exist canonical disabilities, has just issued an ordinance, importing that every Catholic who means to marry must provide himself with a declaration from a parish or other priest authorised by the ordinary, stating that there taists no canonical hindrance to the union of the parties. The civil magistrate cannot marry without receiving such certificate. .......----.---- . .. • "OM Mails. •• • . - Vt,. •" S . l.istvan Malta ••• ••••••\•• •• • •• • 1 .

It must be evident, that as the Congress at Vienna was not to meet till the Ist inst. the statements of earlier positive arrangements must be premature. Ia fact this is clear from the dissonant nature of the accounts propagated, which are still as contradictory ;as ever. If, in the absence of abthentic information, ye may consider shy point ns finally settled, the an filiation of Saxony to Prussia appears the most to he relied on. This aggrandisement will, of course, occasion others, or claims to others, by the rest of the Powers, as an equipoise; and thus may we ap prehend the universal passion of self-interest will defeat what seems one of the most important objects and desires of the Sovereigns themselves, the restore. hots of the old regime;_ _. a desire, we believe, in most respects confined to themselves. That Europe cannot teternto ha ancient state, 4 as certain as that the ages andieeptatbat have produced the great changes which bate given a new aspect to the woryfrand a new turn to the mind, of men, cannot be rolled back to the feudal times, to the periiids• of ignorance and universal slavery,. when even the co osdeesnese o f pi h t and power, of self-deliverance, did not exist. — orals to restore such a regime * pow ill ro recoil 4. •a e heads of those Monarchs who shall endea • sour to impose it upon mankind ; and this truth' for Sovereigns have short memories, ought to be im pressed upon their minds, in .. ,the way that a Royal Conqueror of antiquitkovlto seemed to have more consideration and love of sobering admonitions than usually fall to the lot of the mighty, commanded his servant to remind him that he was a man, every morning that he .rose. On the banner of the same Conqueror were also inscribed such words as ever and anon, reminded even the Conqueror of the eastern world, his courtiers, and his triumphant legiona, that they ",must die," and led them to ask themselves for what they had lived. Some such mementoes would look very well attached to the lofty titles now in the mints of the Sovereigns and Conquerors of even our own times. To this part of the regime of former days we do not object, believ ing that some good 'might come of it. - But if the impressive lesson of advertity, and threatened humi liation to thrones, so lately and•so awfulty read and verified op the Continent, is already forgot, and a change of titles from one empty designation to; more inflated and ridiculous absurdity, op to ." Emperor of the Sun and Moon, and Monarch of the Brass bandied Sword," &c. are to be all the fruits of ter rific revolutions and national subjugations, and men and countries are to pass from one Ruler to another, merely to add to his titles and aggrandisement, without any view or attempt to ameliorate the con dition of those trsnsferred,—to consolidate andgive permanency to the few blessings that.have survived ,the wreck of their former estate, or been the growth of recent changes, the gleam of rational liberty, and national happiness, which has cheered them in their deepest afflictions, and led them to believe ht the possibility of its realizatioo,—it requires not any ex traordinary foresight,, or discernment, to enable owe to say with truth, that such changes will not have the effect which every good man must desire; and that, in fact, the wounds of the European commu nity will remain, and the gashes be as deep as ever, in spite of the empiric and his plaster. There is certainly much squabbling -about boun daries at Vienna, as well as between us and the Americana. If this is really the chief object of con. sideration, it says little for the boundaries of the hu than understanding, or rather of those who are, making this the principal object of their care.

Soon after his Royal Highness being on the throne, in the Councilkilimber, they were ushered into the Royal ~presenct. by the Lord Chamberlain, when his Royal :Highness received the Address, which was read by the liord Chancellor, and to which the Prince was pleased to return a most gracious answer.

As we every day have the pleasure to hear of the reduction of price at which the Government contracts' for meat are made, it would, no doubt, give great pleasure to hear that those parts of the public service, 1 1 as provisions, which are done by commtssioned agents, keep pace with the redaction by contract. We should like to see a statement . laid before the llouse, of the comparison for the supply of meat at Deptfoid, Chatham, Deal, and Portsmouth, which has been done by commission for years past, con trasted with the supply at the other port*, such as Plymouth, Torbay, &c. by contract. We trust a motion to this effect will be made by some vigilant Member. The Duke of DonseT comes of age on the 15th in stant, on which joyful occasion, we hear, there is to be great feastings at Buckhurst Park and at Knowle. The tenantry are to meet at Lewes, and at East Grinsted, to partake of a sumptuous dinner, in cele bration of that event. His Grace is at present in Ire land wit the Duchess and Lord Warrw.olleu • but his arrival at Knowle l _we understand is elittlitd prior to the 15th.

We have understood, by letters- from Brabant, that the Commanders of the Germ*, Legion, in the neighbourhood of-Ghent, hare began - to restrict their furloughs to the soldiers, as so many of those who procured them, have forgot, to return! In the Ecclesiastical Code of Iceland, the Bishop, or even the infet!or Clergy, are invested with autho rity to prevent any marriage, where the female is unable to read. This law preiides a powerful pledge for the instruction of ,the rising generation. We are happy to learn that the son of Mr. Ur* ley, who was so seriously wounded by a detonatieg ball, is in a fair way of recovery. The professional Gentlemen who attend him have no doubt as to his regaining the sight of one eye, and Lim hopes as to the other. A The pnblic should recollect, that If truly adhere to the practice of demanding Tickets from th'e Hack ; ney-coachmen whenever they ride in their coaches, i they always have the means of easily recovering par- eels and other property that may be accidentally left in them, an advantage not to be overlooked, as well' as tending to prevent depredations upon Ladies and unsuspecting travellers. . • .4 • • • • 1 144 Gt r NCE.
