That Lord Castlereagh had declared to these two Ministers at Chaumont and at Dijon, that as they.• existed a Treaty between England and the King of Sicily, the former Power could not conclude a Treaty with the King of Naples before obtaining an iadentnity for King Ferdinand IV. ; but that the King of Naples might depend upon the honour of Eiyeland, who, having co-operated in the engage no:ets concluded "between Austria and Naples, de layed only, out of delicacy the conclusion of a 'walk of peace with him ; that in case King Ferdi nayd did not rsmounce.his eight,to Naples, and would toot accept an indemnity, England would not make war foe him; and lastly, that the English Govern ment would act as mediator between the Courts of N•iples and Sicily. Lord Ilentinck received orders to repeat the same assorauces to the Cabinet of Naples, and delivered to the Doc de Gallo, April 1, 1814, upon this sub ject, an official note of the following contents : " That the English Government wholly approved llKTroaty of Janoary 11, 1814, between Austria and Naples, and it cousented to the augmentation of terfitory promiied to the King in the Roman States ; that it the English Government refused to conclude a Treaty in limbic, it was solely from a motive of delicacy, which obliged it to make this negociation en on at the some time with that for an indemnity to King Fardinand." 4. On the 3d of April Lord Castlereagh wrote to Lod 13entinek, that it depended upon the King of Sicily whether he would renounce the kingdom of Naples or not, but that it was impossible for his Britaiiiiiek Majesty to support his rights by his as sis:ance in opposition to the plan of the Allies and to their disadvantage, or to enforce his pretensions to recover the Neapolitan dominions. Lord Castle r••agh added, that it was the design of the British Government to proceed at the same time in its treaty olds the King of Naples, and in an arrangement for the indemnification of King Ferdinand ; that if the Sicilian Government were resolved to actin opposi tion to the designs of that of England, the latter would consider herself as released from all obligation to interfere, having founded its armistice on the prin ciples of the treaty concluded between Austria and the-Ring of Naples, and that it would even think itself obtiged immediately to conclude a treaty with King Joachim. 5. The proses verbal of the coof.rences at Cha tilron, whereon a proposal of the Duke of Vicenza, cot cereln.; Italy and Naples In particular, the Ple nipotentiaries declared c4at it was not for Fiance to interfere iu the affairs of Italy, bemuse the &Med Powers had already determined its fate, and that as for Naples, they had contracted engagements which guaranteed the possession of that kingdom to the reigning dynasty. I' is known that among the various Committees enemed at Vienna, there is one for the Affairs of Italy. It is composed of Messrs. Wegrenberg, for Austria; Coent Nesselrode, for Russia ; Count Alesavi.ter Nnailles, fur France ; Lord Castlereagh, Co- England; and the Count de Late +dor, for Spain. The decisions open the Papal Legations, upon the• Indemnities for the Queen of Etruria and the Em press Maria Louisa, are iu the province of this Com mittee. But many persons pretend that it cannot dismiss the question relative to Naples and Sicily, and maintain that the Congress is assembled to tlis pase of the possession of those countries only which are considered as conquered from France, and as yet without any Sovereign. In this case Naples would! be obliged to make all its efforts to resist its enemies,l and to obtain against them the assistance of its ancient i ' and new allies. AMERICAN TARIP ON THE PEACE.

Among some other arrivals from the other side of the Channel-, we have letters to-day from Paris, stating it was known that fjord CASTLEREAGH had left Vienna. This, we think, his Lordship ought to have done long ago, seeing how little the represen- tations he is said to have made in the name of his country, have been atte►nled to. We have seen a Representative of Great Britain following too' long in the train of Continental spoliators, and lending, by tame acquiescence or ineffectual remonstrances, the sanction of this great nation, which professes to support the cause of general liberty and national right, to acts that violate all national law, and threaten the extiuction of every recognized principle of j uvtice. Did his Lordship go to the assembly of Continental Sovereigns, whose salvation we are said to ,have wrought, to dictate a continuance in the same line of liberal policy which had averted the threatened ruin, or went he merely as a spectator to Congress to be ready at a call ; as one fond of pageants, and sighing out " a little longer, yet a little longer," to be the train-bearer of Emperors and the cicisbeo of Queens ?—or, in the name of wonder, now that they tell us all is settled, and Russia and Prussia have got every thing their own way, and his Lordship nothing but the honour of seeing them carry' their sovereign will into execution, what did the great Statesman go to Vienna for? and what new glories are to adorn his brow ? What emblem is most meet for his high deserts? The bundle of sticks, from the old man's fable of the union of the feeble brothers--the The French Pipers now furnish us with some par ticulars of the triaLof Gen. EXCELMANS. We could %ply state the acquittal before. '‘This swidier,sivhci bas been so basely traduced, does not, appear to have wanted personal courige in the hour of trill. When questioned on the heads of the Charges, with which our Readers are acquainted, he replied, as to the first, namely, .his holding correspondence with the enomy, (Mu Eike being nom considered in that light by the French Government) ; that he could not have kept up a correspondence with the enemy, for at the moment when he wrote, France was not at war with any Power : as to the second, relative to espionage, he said that he would not reply to such a charge : on the third, that the profound respect which he had for the person of the King was a sufficient guarantee that he had writ ten nothing offensive to him ; that in his letters there could not be found a single expression relative to the King bf France: to the fourth charge he re plied that he had only disobeyed an order of exile, thinking that the Minister had no right to issue such order: and lastly, an the fifth, that he knew not in what his pretended crime consisted. " General ExcermAus, acquitted and free," say the French Papers, " has availed himself of the first moments of libevty to present himself at the foot of the throne, in order to thank his Majesty for having hadjutfice done to him, and to swear to him inviolable frklity. Acquitted and free!" they exclaim—" it was was not in this way that things proceeded under BONAPARTE ;" and they here launch into the most ful some panegyrics on the magnanimity and justice of the present French Government. put, if so much ineffable goodness pervades the conduct of their present Go vernment, how comes it that a man so innocent as i General ExcwitArts is proved to be, wu thrown int* I a dungeon, and the rod of power waved over him with :such tyrannic dominion ? Public justice has bad a triumph, but it is at the expence, and to the shame of the Government, which sought the ruin of an innocent man. frog of MACRNES (the symbol of taxation), or the fiddle-stick of llEtnEcont, which had such power Advices were received last night from the United in its day ?

Prussia seems determined t• have the Protectorato .of Germany, which must inevitably fall into her hands if Saxony is incorporated with that kingdom. There is a report of an attempt having been made to carry off the King of SAXoNY. France will doubt less show herself more energetically, as the subject of the Left Bank of the Rhine comes into considera- tion. There is a talk of her having an increase of territory. The territory she wants is Belgium * and it will be on this side she will have it. France has not givers up her pretensions to the whole of that country ; and SOTLT'S order for the purchase of horses is supposed to be connected with this object. We' should have stipulated with France for an abandonment of every pretension she had to Belgium before we rostored her West India Islands. Tim distracted affairs of Italy are coming more into notice. The most monstrous, secret, and in quisitorial tribunals are represented as now esta blished, and in full activity in that unhappy coon. try, on pretence of treasonable practices. Who reads ip these proceedings the restoration of liberty and justice ?—Beneficent Governments indeed ! for the return of which the people ,have bled and toiled with such heroic intrepittity,--with such martyr-like suffering. We have extracted from the Augsburgh Casette,' an important State Paper relative to King JOACKIN,: of Naples; it appears to have been published by the Government of Naples to show his services to tim Allies and their engagements with him, and gives ap interesting narrative of the origin and progress 4 MURAT'S separation from NAPOLEON, and his at. tachment to the cause of the combined SO:, vereigns. It appears from this Manifedo, which probably contains the substance of the Memorial* which have been laid before the Congress at Vienne from the Court of Naples, that MURAT toads early overtures to the Emperor of AVSPEIA, Did that the Allied Sovereigns at length guaranteed it him his Kingdom of Naples for his cooperation halite war,' —lt also lets us a little into the cane of the hesitation now evide n t on th e part of some of the Aliied Sovereigns to fulfil the Guarantee, ' the obstacle to the signature of the with Russia, arilitig from the Declaration of ALEXANDER on his entering Paris, not treat with NAPOLEON, or any of and the conditional accession of Great ' rapidly augmenting ; they were better prepared than, perhaps, could be wished, to receive Admiral Cocu ' ItANEN expedition ; and in the very Papers which bring us this gloomy picture of American affairs, we find a letter from their Commissioners at Ghent, dated Aug. 24, rejecting in terms of the firmest dig nity the famous sine qua non, which our Ministers advanced with such wisdom and resolution, and abandoned with such haste and indifference ! We find also by the Papers now before us, that the American General WAantuit, had made a suc cessful incursion into Canada, and defeated a body of militia. The Ministerial Papers notice this en terprise in a way that must puzzle some of their readers to find out whether this General M'ARTUUR is British or American. They can, indeed, find' it out when they consider that he is pushing into Ca nada, if they know any thing of our possessions there; but this is disclosing an unwelcome secret ! What ! disclose our nakedness so far as to confess that the defence of these valuable possessions, our last shy and refuge, rests only on some raw Militia, and that these are yielding like the grass before an American General! This would show the necessity'l •f the peace too much. Yet so it is. But " the Treaty will put all to rights." We wish it may. , It will rather seem strange to many, at a time when such confident expectations are entertained of the ratification of the treaty of peace with America, that another expedition, as we find by the Cork ,rapers, is about to sail from this country for some part of the Western Continent. Have Ministers any' doubts of Mr. Mantsott's readiness " to subscribe ?" Or is that mirror of all righteousness whom we have placed on the throne of Spain about to give us another-proof of his gratitude, and an opportunity. of signalizing ourselves among Spaniards in another hemisphere, by sending out t h now collect ing at Cadiz to shut as out from the ports of South America ? The last accountt from Cadiz inform us that the greatest activity was used in fitting out an expedi. tion for South America ; and in the man time a vessel had been sent off with sealed orders, for Porto V Treaty of Guarantee, Lord CASTLI wisely making it a sine qua non, that rity but indemnity should be duly provided • King of SICILY. e Treaty with I t Mae, flavannah, and Vera Crut ;- tad the general of the Emperor belief was, that the ports of Swath America were to that he would be shut against all foreign vainly, not even except- of_ his family ; Ing those of treat Britain, at whose commerce I n - t mritain to the deed the order wee piritiewiterkp silterted.

W.), o f three 24-pounders, thee long 9-pounders, two G. pounders,' and 138 men, having throsin six guns overboard in a heavy gale. The Daphne was sent for America. On the 19th, Captain S. and his pas sengers were 'put on board the Swedish brig Hoppeti ; the privateer then steered for the coast of Portuget. The next day (200) was boarded by an American ' Aliprivateer (under English colours), of 18 guns, was informed her name was the Young Wasp, be onging to Salem. The Captain informed them he had English Newspapers on board, which contained the intelligence of peace between the two countries; she left them, and steered to the S.S.E. On the 22d they spoke the Brilliant, from Messina, bound to Liverpool; out three weeks, and short of provi sions.

The Office of Inspectors of the Income Tar, lea 1 dependent of the odium that naturally attends itsp cannot but be unpleasant in the extreme, for they, are obliged to pry and visit every possible q u a r ter - where a guinea can be obtained, in order to appear to Goverument to deserve their salaries ; and the army of tax-gatherers now embodied throughout Great Britain, almost equal the regular military force. Commercial orders to a great extent have reached this country within these few days from France. A circumstance has occurred in the residence of a gentleman of high consideration at Brighton, in con sequence of which some extraordinary deposition. have been privately taken before a Magistrate ; but these are said to be of so serious a nature, that it would not be either safe or prudent to state their substance upotithe erring voice of rumour. ANOTUER Hoax.—The Officers of the 18th Hussars, having been invited by Mr. LEVIES, of Chichester, to a ball, just before the time appointed to proceed to that Gentleman's house, a lad deli vered the following hoaxing Note to the Mess-man of the Regiment, at the barracks Mr. LIEvEa presents his compliments to the Officers of the 18th Hussars, and is sorry that the death of a near and particular Friend, which he has only just learnt, prevents him the honour of seeing them this even. ing."—The Officers, on discovering the true cha. racter of this communication, the nest morning, • offered a reward of Ten Gliue.ts, for the discovery , of the writer of it. On the ltd instant, an Inquisition was taken at the Bull, at Harpenden, Herts, before B. ROMER, Esq. jun. Coroner, touching the death of Wm.
