The intelligence from Vienna thus furnished is of the Ott► instant It tends little to relieve the anxiety that bag beak excited on the subject of the segoci- Wens. No mention is made of the departure of .07 of the Sovereigns... This may be considered as ground for disbelieving the rumour of the Em ..peror Attx tNnrit's having left the Congress; —but the writers of the scanty notices which Vit !fare from the seat of Congress, seem to kaQw so little of what is passing, that at . though such a circumstance as that alluded to, could hot be expected to take place without motion, ,any statements in regard to the negotiations from such sources can be entitled to bet very little credit. It: appears from the information we have, that tblat! hare at least been same very unsatisfactory proceed ings at the scene of deliberation. Appearances 1111 V a►ow considered as rather more favourable. At the date of these adrices, the arrondissements of territory 'were still going on upon paper; but the Chronicle of t the Congress, and those who had asserted that th publication of the Edicts of the August Assembly would take place on the 10th, have become far less confident in their tone and predictions. They have, hike JOANNA. Souracorr, adjourned the important. tart* ? till an indefinite period, sine die. The subject of the All _von* of MARIA LOUISA from NAPOLZON Is again glanced at. The Bishops at Vi- Anna, k is statid, have been consulted on the point ; and repoetsays, General HotArs, who went lately on a mission to the Isle of Elba, was the bearer of some proposal or declaration of opinion in regard to . . the project of separation. It is added, in an article *from Milan, that NAPOLLOttliseriously indisplait if the above 'report be true, his indisposition is not to be wondered . at. Those who coald deny him, in the present situation of his fortune, the ,seclety of his wife and child, may well be conceived capable .of de vising such a scheme as has becu mentioned. • . It,is stated from Italy, that the Venetians flatter themselves with, the, hope of recovering their inde ,Ve6denee, the British slinister having scut into Con-. • gresi a very 'strong Note en this subject. Of this we , oosildwisb to hate better assn relict ; for w hen we hear of Lord CiSTLEREAEM layinidown plans of partition and .anntaition, and of using the influence of Isis cisontTy ~ tO Aive greater durability to the Wicket grappliugs of . the invaders of States, of countenancing, under the , assumed .plea of expediency, what he himself, and , others, now advocating . the same doctrine, termed atrocious robbery, we fear for the awe liberty s i in general, even where its unconquerable s i iit has most been displayed. Italy and Poland—what do they not present ? The most splendid instances of heroism and the deepest calamity. The wave of am bition seeks not to recede--a thousand press after it—and few attempt to raise the fallen—even free men have called it glory to enslave—and one empire is. only built on the ruins of another. The age of restitution must precede that of liberty, and justice and self-denial be evinced in no common de gree, :re magnanimity throw a lasting lustre around the character. Vtettms, Dee. 4.—We are assured that, before the departure of Gen. Koller for the Isle of Elba, be had sereral conferences, with the Archbishop of Vienna, whkb, It y said, related to tthe•dirorte of Napoleon and the 'Archduchess. Those persons who had announced the publication of the articles of Congress on the 10th, have to-day adjourned that event to a time almost indefinite.-- The last version of the speculations on tae proceed legs of Congress Is, tkat the Grand Powers are , agreed dpon the point of re-establishing the kingdom of lletony—that Prussia shall retain Torgan and Wittemburg—that Austria shall round itself by the district of Voigtland—end that the right bank of the Install shall be the frontier of Russia. It does not speak sof the secession of Frame and Wend to these arrangements. MILAN, Dec. 3.—The recent of an erreigement concluded between the Grand Doke of Tuscany and the King of Naples is said to be, that the soverelguty of Piombino shall be restated to Moises Me Bacciochi. This Leda, `stet out on the Id et 41 . 49, month from Bologna, with* numerous suit, to repidr to Leghorn, and. from thence to the Island of Elba, to her brother Napoleon, who is seriously indis posed. Many persons say, on the contrary, that she is giin* te.rmk, • where she will have an interview with thwaiitild Duke. She still keeps up a consi derable,plablishment at Bologna. TM venetian' still tatter themselves with the hope of .recovering their independence. The Court .of England, they assure us, has sent a very strong dote THE S rATESMAN; to Congress on that subject. If this negotiation suc ceeds thtanciEnt State of Venice - will boa operate Government from (hot of Milan. • , It is now said that Prime Sage". will Mise fttates in Italy, 'auctnot in aerntiny. - ' ' • WEIMILE, DEC. 2.—On the 22J alt. M. le Kuhl, I • ' ;Prussian Lientenani-Colonel, set oat from Vienna, having orders to pass Dresdett on his way to Berlin, where the King of Saxony is. On the one hand, it h said, he bears en order for his being restored td liberty ; . aud, on the other, of an intitaiion for hint to repair to the Congress. The Saxon Princes who are at Prague have received, at the same time, news very satisfactory. That of which there is any cer tainty is, that after some time all appear to have changed in favour Saxony. Aosttia, France, Ba tavia, Wirtemberg, Spain, Portugal, and Sweden, Interest themselves in a lively manner. The Duke of Brunswick, who passed by Dresden, on his re. tarn from Vienna to his States, said that it appears certain the King of Saxony will recover his Crown; Ibut all the letters agree in saying that this restitution goes on very slowly. The car& of . fureign soldiers, under the command of.a feceigner,,td quell a riot in Norfolk, which took Otto last week, will demand thq attention of Parlia ment, in , order that such an unconstitationel I#4 p. ) ceedingpay in fetnye be obviated . .. , w_ Letters from New York received yesterday, bring an account that the Peacock American sloop of war had arrived at that port, after a most successfutcruise; having made no less than seventeen captures.--7 The Mammoth and the Chasseur privateers ha d also ar rived there, after long cruises • bat as no capture is mentioned, we must presume tha t: they have been un successful. Extract of a letter from Rome, dated Nov. 16 : " The 14th of this month will be a memorable day with the Society of Jesuits. The reception. of no vices then commenced, when 40 were admitted.— Among these was the eldest .son of Marquis PATIAIEA, a new - Senator of Rome; the son of Marquis Memo, Minister Extraordinary for Sardinia inthie City ; and 20 Priests, the most of whom are public Professors at the University." Extract of a letter from Captain D. Hardie, of the St. Andrew, of and from. London to Madeira : " I am sorry to inform you of the capture of the St. Andrew, by the American privateer Yankee, of 15 guns and 120 men, after engaging her for 20 mi nutes ; le were all landed at Madeira on the 15th of November, but the mate and cook, whom theyl sent to America with the ship. I saw the Caledonian: on the 12th of November, in company with the fleet under convoy of the Duncan—all well. I did not leave the convoy till the signal was made to part company." The contract for . sopplying the Vietaaiiiwg Offids at Portsmouth, with 1000 quarters 'of 'Wheat, was token on Thursday last, by two Gentlemen of Sus sex, at 625. 3d. and 621. 10d. per quarter." Two transports have arrived from Quebec, b# which we have advices from thence to the 15th, and from Brandypots to the 17th alt. Nothing new boll transpired since the departure of the Liffey, awls* intelligence of interest was expected from au ritt tion in the British Provinces excepting Fort The superior advantages which the Americans /pos sessed for streugthenieg their force under General IZARD and his comrades, rendered the situation of Lieut.-Gen. DRUMMOND somewhat critical, but the fullest confidence was reposed in the prudence of his measures and the gallantry of his army. Montreal rapers have been obtained by the same opportunity.. CHAUNCEY continnedot Sackett's Harbour, and all hostile operations were discontinued on Lake Onta rio. Lake Champlain was much in the same situa lion, and Commodore M'Dotrouatt had arrived at .AlbanT. During the stay (six days) of the Dake of Gr.ou carman, at the hospitable seat of Mr. Cons, eleven 'hundred head of game were shot in that Gentleman's plantations befOre fiis Royal Highness left Holkham ; he did Lord AirtioN the honour of standing sponsor to his Lordship's infant daughter. 'NUNS GRAHAM, Esq. the new Mayor elect for e Borough of Harwich, died almost - suddenly, on Sendai last, at his residence in that town ; he was to have entered upon his magisterial office, for the sixth time in the course of a fek days. r. VANDELEUR.—This was an action brought for breach of promise of marriage.— The damages were laid at 5,0001. Upon the open ing the pleadings an offer was made by the De fendant's Counsel, consenting to verdict for 3,5001. which proposal was acceded to by the Plaintiff's At. torney. The partnership of MARSH ' SIEBALD, and Co. bankers, is not dissolved, as has been stated by mis take. The only change in the firm is the retirement of Mr. &SMART. The Magistrates for the different Ridings of the county of York have determined to have a bridge of their own, in a part of the city of York, more con venient for general purposes than the present bridge. It is worthy of remark, as highly creditable to the Police. of the city of York, that the doors of its gaol for three weeks previous to the 26th of Novem ber were daily thrown open, there not being a pri soner, either debtor or felon, confined therein. A party of sportsmen last week near Cheadle, hunted 26 and killed 19 hares, 14 pheasants, 14 brace and a half of partridges, 3 woodcocks, and 15 rabbit., in one day. ! Last week a young Lady and Gentleman arrived ,ip great haste, at Gretna Green. The weigh: of the prise may be in some degree conjectured, when it is added that the Gentleman paid the sham Parson 501. in a Bank of England note, for tying the nuptial knot. The intelligence by the Dutch Mail gives us to un derstand, that military measures are carried es with activity on the part of France ; that she is covering the frontier with the roost formidable appearance; and that her troops era as far as possible complete, and the magazines fell. The following are the chief articles brought by the Dutch Mali : BERLIN, Dec. 3.—lt is pretended that three couriers, one after another, brought news from the Congress that vas far from being satisfactory. Later letters are rather more- favourable, and affirm that the points in dispute are amicably adjusted. The Congress is expected to dose by the end of the year. BaUSSZE.II, DEC. 10.--The accounts of the military -measures on the French frontiers are the same as heretofore. The French Government, it is pre. somed, will corer the frontiers in this manner till the Congress is closed; the troops are as far as possible complete, and the magazines full. It is, however, observed with pleasure, that the good understanding and the intercourse between this Country and France enures:es daily. It is positi►ely Manned, tbst the French Officers who bad received passports for Ame rica, have received en intimation not to embark.— This is attributed to the interference of Lord Wel lington. The organization of the arty is Continued. Dispatches, which are understood to be of great imPertance, were yesterday reosimed,by Gevernsett from Ghent, by the way of Calais. 'On their arri val a Cabinet Council was summoned, and a fall meeting of the Members took place. The result of lireir deliberations is generally believed to be a deci esre resolution on the subject of these long-pending 'negotiations. Immediately after the breaking up of the Council, Mr. ALv es, the Messenger, was sent off nith dispatches to the Commissioners: and it is coufidentlysaid, be is the bearer of the ultimatum of lour Government. We have of late had various oc casions to repeat, and the signs that give rise to such a belief, are still visible, that the restoration of ami., cable relations with America, is an event that, how-, ever desirable or necessary to heal the wounds so deeply inflicted on our national interests and honour, is not likely to come upon RS very suddenly. So long as it continues to be asserted in the elegant lan guage of the vehicles of Government sentiment, " that any treaty signed by the vagabond Geneve:* GAUL. TIN, or by JOEL BARLOW'S iederstrapper, Mr. JONA., 1 THAN RUSSELL, would be to Great Britain at once a degradation and a snare,"—so long as more depend ence is placed on the divisions in New England than on unanimity in Old England, and our Ministers shall think of extracting glory and unity, power and peace, and national prosperity, out of discord and the efforts of faction, in keeping alive and extending the flames of war,—so long may we expect to see the resources and the energies of the country wasted in a pursuit as hopeless, foolish, and destructive, as ever disordered the brain of the most infatuated al chymist seeking for the philosopher's stone among pf every thing ietriusiadly ROYAL RUNT.—A numerous field of sportsmen of all•descriptions assembled near Staines; on Frik day morning, to join in the Royal Hunt. The deer went off in a fine style across the enclosures, making towards Ashford Common, and then taking towards . Hattipton.Coort, where he made a leap into Sashay _ ..
