B.—Since the doubts as Weer avian with Piedmont have been removed, and that we see no escape from it, oar town is become a scene of sulky gloom, and assumes a threatening aspect. The English have, besides the garrison, called in the Italian troops in their pay frdin Nice, and have pub licly displayed, as in terrorest, a number of, lire. arms just landed, we suppose for the servicaof King Victor Emmanuel. Luce t, Mc. s.—We almost despair , of seeing again our ancient Republic restored, far whether the great Congress does Or does not grant our just de- I mands, and respect our rights, the Governor, civil and military, which the Austrians have sent us, the well-known Count Strahremberg, ►hum the Grand,' Duke of Tuscany sent out of MI tOritory immedi ately after his arrival at Floren'ep, for his extortions cunduct during his command, takes care that we shall have no pecuniary means left to carry any measures into execution.

The intelligence wtdch - they furnish hem Vienne •is not of a later date than that we communicated yea. tardily, and partakes of the same character. The following are extracts : VIENNA, Dec. M.—That which injures the good enderstanding between Prussia and Bavaria, is fro's* the first of these Powers manifesting pretensions to , sibe principalities of Anspach and Bayreuth. Bata sia is determined not to relinquish her rights, which bare been consecrated by a solemn treaty. They are always speakir.g of the arrival of the, King of Saxony; but, for these some days, l's a more vague manner. _ _ _ It is said that the Court has ordered a plait to be provide 4 for the fetes which are to take place do the 13th of January. This circumstance proves that the SOxereigni are not on the eve of departure. ?repa rations are making for the anniversary of the Eat peror Alexander's birth-day. Dec. 13.—They speak of an energetic Note having bees sent to Congress by Prince Metternich in re ply to that which was sent by the King of 14Yirtem burg. That Sovereign appears very much dissatis fied with the proceedings of affairs in general, and particularly with the torn which those have taken tout relate to Germany. It Is that which has ceased a continual exchange of notes between Austria and Prussia on the one side, and Wirtem burg on the other. Notes between Bavaria and Prussia are also frequent. A new cause for , lengthening the Sittings of the Congress is said to be, that very delicate and unfore. leen questions have arisen respecting Belgiurfi, Italy, Naples, and other countries. The English Minister has stated, that he must consult his Court; and the delays are thus multiplied without end. The re-establishment of the Imperial digeity Gaffney is definitively discarded. • The Russian corps, which are marching toivards the side of Turkey, will form an army of, 140,000, men. I.4OIfORX, Dec. 10.—The commsniCations with the Isle of Elba have been rendered very difficult by the various ordinances of M. le Podesta and' of the Royal Commissary. We learn, however, that the Bishop of Lorea and the Duke of Palos have leaded it Porto Ferrajo, charged with a mission from. es King of Spain to Napoleon, the object of which was to solicit.him to give up to him the Prince et PON% if he was a refugee in the Island, as he had declare& his intention of flying there. - Bonaparte replied, that he could not fall in with their views of surrendering that Prince into their. bands, at the same time, not wishing to displease their Court, he engaged not to allow him to larid4s- Abe island should he attempt it. Our Sovereign has equally made known his inten tion of not receiving him ; and the King of Naples has contradicted, officiallyi Us being his intention of granting him an asylum.

BRITISH ESPIONAGE. We Wish to call the attention of oar Raillery i rk the atrikieg narrative contained in Dr. Tsytolf,t'; speech, in Der, present publication. Every menet: tacked to the constitutional privileges of his country, will feel equet surprise and indignation, at the pe. rusal of such base machinations against the life of en innocent individual ;—and, Ai scarcely believe, that a system could have been acted upon in this country, which would _ almost disgrace the Govern. 1 meta of the'" beloved Psammarvv." It will be Irecollected, that Dr. TAYLOR, in his former remarks (inserted last week) fully acquitted Ministers Ofany participation in these oppressive proceedings. lie is decidedly of opinion, that Government was misted by the mis-representations of designing iodividnals, who assumed the character of Alarmists, to enhance their own importance ; and, not altogether, we pre- Petite, uninfluenced by what Sir VICAR Grass calls " base lucre." We will hope, that such charaCters are rare in this country, but we' feet they have been too common in Ireland ;..!pttttl . lt eppeim more tit" probable, that the disturbance's - repottectto exist its 'that country; are altogether the work, cif imagine nation.
