JAMAICA GAZETTE. K iNGITON 4 OCT. 15.—A smart shock of in earth,l tinike was felt in this city and its vicinity ou Sunday evening, a few initiates after six o'clock. Two days previous to the• sailing of the Talbot from Carthagera, advice: were received there fro the interior, where hostilities had ceased, of a large • sum of money being on its way to that plate, which had occasioned a considerable rise in the Brice of dry goods, and there was every proegeot of tftdebecoass fog very brisk.

The Intelligence from Vienna is of serious dates, and to the t 2.1 ult. The opening et the Congress has evidently been retarded to an indefinite period by the difficulty in adjusting the several plans of aggrandisement which the Confide.: racy of Kings there met have been exercising elk fancies upon. These are now said to be suspended in consequence of the Powers who were so very soli. citous of taking under their protection other people's . property, having discovered that the natural guar•. dians of the coveted goods were neither altogether dead nor asleep. The very thing that ought to have hien prevented has happened. That abominable po. ,icy which preaches up the necessity of erecting a strong balance and counterpoise to the power of France, by invading the rights and independence of the smaller States, and under that plea annihilating their existence altogether, has had the elect of de. cidedly attaching to the French interest the one half of Germany, and she therefore now has the honour of giving a check to injustice in the very , ► Powers who boast of having sabdued all her energies. The Allies, if we mistake not, have got iota a very ticklish, and not very creditable ,predicament, and ; to increase the causes of easbarressment, the most cordial understanding does not seem to prevail among themselves. Military preparations are,every'wbere j gciing on with the greatest activity, as such cases, under various and the most specious pretexts. Poland seems to be as much a stumbling block. ail Saxony, the deprecated arrangement regarding the; latter being, no doubt, a consequence of a similar previously concerted disposition of the former.— Thus those Sovereigns who professed to have war. red upon popular principles, and whose snacesses were entirely owing to the todentanding that their cause was that of mankind In general, have it least the appearance of standing salf-convicted of attempt. ing a moat criminal delusion, and vs.' acting upon Is wider scale the part of the oppressor whom they have overthrown. They and their people fought against a common oppressor, and they were, there. fore, victorious.

Two Dutch Mails arrived to-day, bringing as from Ghent, by the way of Brussels, to the 30th ult. in the present agitated state of the public rind, whose attention an increase of rumour on the subject of the American Negociations is at present directing to Gloat, these accounts will be perused with peculiar interest. The proceedings of the Negotiators are esidently approaching to a crisis, but whether Peace will be the issue is yet un. certain. It is satisfactory to perceive, that . there is stilt ground fo; hope that tranquil relations array be restored. There is, however, reason to fear, that the demands of America, have encreased in pro portion to her late successes, and that any peace which may be concluded in the present lowered state of our deg may be considered as disgraceful.— We are not entirely of this opinion. Our Ministers mare certainly covered themselves with disgrace by the rash and unprovided way which they foolishly took to subvert the national' independence .of America, and spread over the ,Western hemisphere the despotic influence of the esent European system ; bat the Navy of England, which has with-1 stnod the combined Powers of Europe, never bus, and, never can be disgreoed, for its inherent valour has not suffered any diminution. We have, indeed, lost a few frigates, froth the shamefull neglect of the pre siding nautical iticiard; ►ut the ignorance anti in- attention which have wised thine lames ore to. petted Instructions by the Fixed, the answer to the dispatches carried to America b 11 ,!. Dints. On the other band, an English messougei, coming from London, arrived at Ghent the night f he. fore last, who had orders to travjd whit's!, poctible speed. Since these dispatches have bee. eeceivedi the. negotiations on both sides are niMirsrd to be. ex tremely busy. We think welanfairrrn, with pod reason, that the uegociations will .0 . 0 . 11 assume "a *Lena agreement clearly established to permit even the vainest enemy, far less the infant, navy of the limited States, to be lieve, for a moment, that ovr naval power waseo rrippled, that we must submit to anything.

But so far is this from being. the case, that those very soldiers (such is the evil of military systems)! are now the servile supporters of the transfers and appropriation of the Monarchs who called them from their homes,' in defence of national liberty. Infect, the whole of the, proposed arrangements of the Congress at Vineas ik toeili Oppearances, are upon the plan laid down bytTi l t . roatos, 'previous to `Ms - Invasion of Russia .

We were never sanguine in our expectations of the precious boon of liberty and disinterested regard to national privileges and bappi- mess, from men who could at any thee abet or submit I to the invasion of these from motives which could' not be doubted, and even when it was imperiously incumbent upon them to give proofs of virtue and devoted patriotism. We recollect these are the Sore.' reigns] from whom the world has been expecting so much, and we are not disappointed. We cannot sufficiently deprecate this unjust and absurd policy of adding to the power of States, who till their own safety impelled them, never even ' showed a friendly feeling towards us. The impo. !icy of our consenting to the sinking of the free Ma- titian States, who have, on all occasions, looked to I Great Britain for protection and trade, into huge I despotisms, must be evident. We ought particularly to dread Prussia becoming a greet naval power. Pros.:l sia, say the apologists of political robbery, must be elevated into a power equal to keep all France in ' awe. There is, a despicable hypocrisy in all this.— The cession of Saxony to FREDERICK 'could not put that Monarch in an attitude to awe France single handed. The first stone which France threw against an empire, patched up out of such materials, would shiver the congregated . fabrick of feebleness into, atoms. _There Is no one power on the Cott finest • that contributed so essentially to the log._ graesdisentent of France, as Prussia. She stood by in cowardly connivance at all the inroads, and outrages, attempted upon Austria.
