A Dutch Mail is arrived : the following are the only articles of interest which it brings : Bnussus, Dac. 3.—The negotiations at Ghent continue.to be very active, the exchange of notes and the hrrlvaland departure of English cduriers continue daily. Notwithstanding the secrecy in which the nego• cintions are involved, it is believed that England has abated of its first demands, and that America on the other hand, has made 'some sacrifices : it is even hoped that the mode of coming on the nego ciatians will qtnlergo some change, and that personal conferences will supOwd to the written notices. GtalrEi DEC. 5.-4 t Is reported that the English. Government bat given secret instructions to its Conl- IniSSintleill in desidelkom the hardest pretensions against the United Shttes, or at least has so modified th"m, that they can no longer be obstacles to a favourable termination of the negotiation. HAGUE, Dac.6.—His Royal Highness has abolish. ell the duty for convoy on vessels to and from the United Netherlands. ;Art" PDX VIENNA, NOV. 24. . " Wittig s fitiv dais the negotiations have assum ed a moresfave - urable appearance than they lately bad, and it is affirmed that the great Powers will Shortly come to a perfect understanding ; nay, many differences are said to have been only feigned, in or der to discover the views of a foreign Power, re. specting Germany.- Austria has absolutely nothing to object to the union Of Saxony with Prussia (pro. 'sided, we suppose, sbe gets an equivalent share of the general spoil), and Bavaria has also been placed, by means of Austria, in possessien of the greatest part of the Grand Duchy of Frankfort. The greatest difficulty remaining is about Puland, but it ifar from impossible to remove it. " All well disposed Germans agree in the opita that nothing coil be more advantageous for Germany in regard to its foreign connections, as an intimate 'union between Prussia and Austria. The Prussians came here with this hope, and it is hardly to be con• crived so many hottest endeavours to this end should be fruitless. In every case the Previa must be ex-- (hided, whose policy is incompatible with. our wel. fare.' Pali; Papers to the 9th inst. are received. The in telligence from Vienna is to the tath ult. The Cott gres, it is said, wit:tont any formal opening, has begun to promulgate its ddcisions. If we may credit private accounts, the first declaration is one on which we cannot congratulate the friends of freedom and general justice - -it Is the formal annexation of Genoa to Piedmont. 64 What is Genoa to us, or we to Genoa," that we should grieve or startle at this ? The relationship is certainly not very close, nor the few acres of ground alluded to very important, but we read in the breaking down of an independent State, which, from the free nature of its Govern ment, has hitherto enjoyed many superior pri vileges, and in the annexing of it to another under despotic sway, the sure indications of measures hos tile to a liberalized may of thinking, and ap• parently little calculated to insure permanent eacitication. The world is sick of hearing of anncsations, partitions, invasions, anti indemni ties; and this sickness never fails to be fol towed by indignation and very dangerous feelings.— litteever, these, it seems, are not to be regarded. They are only found in vulgar breasts. We have also reason, given us for believing that a general de claration, regarding the new organization of the affairs of the Continent, would be published about the middle of last week. In the meantime the usual quantity of speculative rumour is in circulation, and in every feature of it we perceive convincing indications tr►at the Continental Powers are far from being very cordially agreed on the subjects of theiedeliberations. Confidence is not the offspring of secret communica tions, nor tranquillity the child of political jars. Lord CASTLEKEAGH, it is confidently repeated, has presented a very important Note to the Russian Minister relating to Poland, and complaining of delay on the part of Russia. Delays are known to be dangerous ; they, with their attendant excuses, are generally the weapons with which diplomatists fight ; and really when the standard ef invasion is again hoist ed, and armies are assembling and marching at all prints to mate good the very modest claims of the new order of partionists, it is time to enquire what they mean by such formidable movements, and if they in tend to keep to their promises. To our view there is something superlatively pompous, hypocritical - , and altsurd in the way in which the Sovereign Powers, or Ministers at Vienna, are adjusting the business on which they have met. By the word General Con gress we understand a meeting where the business is carried on openly and in common, and to which all ho have claims and representations to make are to NI. THE STATESMAN: be admitted. The Congress at Vi derserve that name surely ; nor will .the the result of their secret sittings, their communications, their intrigues, and dons. (Prince Repuin's for instance), unbiassed decision on which their, rest. We see many instances of this are prepared to behold mere before long. France is..continuing her demonstrations, i. 4, militarrtaparations, with increased aCtivlty ; nod the army 'of King JoAcand is in motion, for the purpose, it is said, of taking possession, sent per mission, sans ceremonie, of the Papal States, to' which, by virtue of former treaties, he lays claim-- very much against the will of his Horalvas,—l proceeding which we think may admit of more con structions than one. . . We would pass on to notice the continuance of the career of tyranny in Spain, which has not yet reach its limits, and is shown in fresh acts of oppressionin the Government of that country towards its sultifggi bat we are called to observe a striking invasion of popular 'right in a more neighbouring State, which is . the more unexpected as the public Journals of that, country have lately been priding themselves on thii degree of freedom they enjoyed. We allude to 'dot suspension of the Journal de Paris, the last numler of which we have not received, for an al misrepresentation of the speech of the Dabs of Ties: ' TINTON (MACDONALD ' ) in the Chamber of Peers, oss, the subject of the' law creating funds for the indesetsi. fication of the ancient Nobility, whose orates', had been sold for account of the nation.-- I The Duke had, much to his honour, announced 1 that he should propose a measure for this purpose,. and also to replace the endowments under 10001 francs, which had been assigned to the wounded mi. , litary on property disannexed from France by the Treaty of Paris. Instead of this last clause, the Journal de Paris announced that the fund for the relief of the Emigrants was to be formed by a contribution of the Army out of its pg. The artiele in question, which, if not an unintentional error, must have been a mere jets d'esprit on the old runaway Nobility, and' the love borne to them by the army, has been repre- 1 rented as intended to stimulate the selfish pas-1 sions of the soldiery against this class of men, as :it would certainly have been palpably en- 1 just to throw the burthens of their compensation exclusively on the army, especially at a time when so roan Of fi cers are reduced to half psy. The sugges- I don, therefore, i • argued, coulliave had no other' effect than to the 'Nobles, the Court,. and Marshal MACD ALD, who must have been sup posed to have acted at the desire of the two for. tier, in au equal state of uepopularity : and for this, - rarponfAajk inflicted on the Paper, but aos 1 it amid about the denser, - Ogg ht not the establish. mesa of the C:ousorship to have taken *if responsi bility from the Paper? If for a mere inadvertent in. accuracy, Journals ure to be suppressed, the liberty of the press and the subject, is indeed at a low ebb. The measure of suspending a daily Newspaper, is as' 1 impolitic as it is unjustifiable, as it must invariably excite a detestation of such coercive measures, and a I degree of public feeling in favour of the sufferer, 1 whose property is thus arbitrarily destroyed. VIENNA, Nov. W.—For some time past the con versation in all political circles, has run on a note transmitted by Lord Castlereagh to the Count de Nesselrode. Every one was desirous of knowing its contents. We have learned this day, that it relates to the affairs of Poland, and that it has been com municated to all the Ministers of the Great Powers. It is true that all the details of this communication have not transpired ; but it contains serious com plaints upon the delays created by Russia against de ciding the fate of Poland. Russia, it is said, was nt first desirous of re-unit ing all Poland to its dominion. Its Sovereign was de sirous of being indemnified for the losses he had sus tained; the expences of a foreign war, and Ow de struction of the capital of his empire. This propnse I was not listened to. Ile afterwards proposed to re. unite the liolish provinces, and form them into a kingdom, to be governed by its own laws ; but ehich should submit to the sovereignty of the Russian Empire. The second proposal was not better re ceived than the first. It is believed by many that Russia will be unable to obtain the Vistula as a boundary ; and they go so far as to say, that its Plenipotentiaries have declared, that under this sup -1 position, its Government will be itself obliged to shut the Sound, and to intercept all communication with the Baltic. '- ~~ One of the trim. con. cases alluded to by me ugooooAm in his"defence of Sir 11. Mts.nath.y.., as, lately deeded in the Sheriff's Court, has not been detailed to the public. It was Canisve v. Cu RIME, parties well known at I.Loyo's. Two thousand pounds damages were given. VILLE-FORT (LoZERE), Nov. 21.—For several years tie asorderons wolves have committed dread ful ranges amongst the unfortunate inhabitants of our mountains; yesterday (Sunday) at the close of Vespers, near to the church of St. Andre, Marie Domergue, 34 years of age, was. attacked by one of those carnivorous animals, which devoured in an instatst Int heart and entrails; several other females, coming" from the same church, who were witnesses of this horrid spectacle, flew with some armed linen f t , ihstroy this ferocious animal . ; bat were not able., to accomplish their intention. Mr. WEBB the philanthropist, has been compelled Albin theseim.44r to seek retogeln France, from the persecution or numerous trespassers upon his , abused generosity, who followed him from place to place, and drove him in the first instance from Tun-, behipoVells to Dover, where he embarked. • Coi t oseei leauesr.—On Saturday, an Inquest ' was held at the Kettle and Gridiron, Harrow-road, on the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Eaton, who kept a shop there for 20 years, and were found murdered in their shop. Mr. Eaton was suspended from a scale-beam with his throat cut, and Mrs. Eaton on her bed, with her throat cut from ear to ear. Some sand was found on the soles of Eaton's shoes, end it is supposed lie went backwards after murdering Mrs. Eaton. They were married 52 years, and were above' 70 years old. They had lived happy, but his behaviour of late was rather insane. Verdict— Insanity. A melancholy circumstance occurred at a place called Nuptown, in the parish of Warfield, Berks, on Tuesday last. Mr. TOBN IIEnnINGTON, a farmer of that place, on going to fodder a bull, the furious animal ran at him and gored him in so shocking a manner in his back, that he languished of the wounds till Friday, when he died. Last June a fatal duel took place near Fort George, Madras, between Lieut. It and Capt. I C--, both it is believed of the 47th regiment. I Lieut. was killed on the spot, and Capt. C-. badly wounded in the body. Last week a provoked hushand, near Augher, county of Tyrone, cut, at one stroke, a fellow's head nearly off with an axe, whom he found with I his wife. Prince Talley rand, proceeding in the system of mo deration and equilibrium that France has adopted, and supported by the English Minister, has recalled to recollection that it was the preponderance of Na poleon against which Europe armed. It is this de claration and these dibeassions which have made many people imagine.that the affairs of Saxony would take another turn. An application was made on Saturday, on the part of Mr. Mona's, one of the Proprietors of the Hay merket Theatre, to vary the words of an injunction obtained some years ago against the Proprietors of Drury-lane and Covent-gardenTheatres, restraining them from performing certain pieces, the exclusive property of the Proprietors of the Haymarket Thea tre. The Loan CHANCELLOR deferred his judgment. Philip Pearce, ostler of the Rod Lion, Dulver ton, was last week found drowned, 'in the channel pef the Wert, though the water was not more than two inches deep! Becoming dreadfully intoxicated, he fell with his face in the channel, and being unable to extricate himself, was suffocated.
