Vizssa, Dec. 21.—1 t appears certain, that in the Mi nisterial conferences of the Gth and 19th, they were chiefly occupied in the discussion of the 13th Article of the Federal Act, relative to the constitutions and for tresses of the Confederation.—Notlsing has yet trans- pired as to the basis of the new Constitution. It is, however, certain, that the dispositions about to Le made will not have a retrospective tendency , and consequently I will not concern the Slates and Constitution already vita. Ilished. Many of the principal bankers of (lemony, particu larly those of Frankfurt and Ilatulturgh, have been coming hercfer s • Jaya past. A tibia is lilllell talked of. It is said, with some aasiirance, that M. Rothschild, who has lately come from Frankfort, will make some overtures to Congress in favour of the Jews of that City. I For some days back there has been some angry dis cussion in the Committee of Congress, which was charged to report on the fortresses of the Confederation. This subject will, in the course of next week, be brought before a more full assembly. A list is about to ',sr published of the number of journals and periodical works, as well foreign as German, the sale of which is permitted in the Austrian Stotts.

TIT following is an extract of a letter from Mal ta, dated Nov. 10 : We are now without Admiral, Governor, or Liente n.int-O•verunr.

Sir Thomas 31aitland arrived here last month, after an absence of a year. Alarming accounts of insurrection at Santa Ahura occasioned him to leave this almost immediately for the lonian Islands, where he seems lilted, and by all reerwswts front that quarter, there Is no likelihood of his milli for some time. Indeed, it is thought that he %sill have his Ilan I:. fell there ; but it is very distressing for this island, many causes in the high Court of Appeal having bee❑ printing fur years. When hr was here hr could not find time to hear them, and there are most many prisoners waiting for trial in the Admiralty l'ourt, particularly the pirates, of whom you doubtless have heard. There is no question as to their guilt, as 1 models and they have all confessed ; the Captain and Mate throwing the blame on the seamen, and they on their officers.

A very remarkable and significant sentence fell from the lips of Louis XVIII. on Saturday last, upon the congratulations offered to his MAJESTY by the Chamber of Deputies on the new year, a ceremony much more attended to in France than in England. His MAJESTY remarked, "We are at peace with all Europe, but we have an enemy to combat, namely, anarchy ; our situation, how ever, is unaccompanied by danger whilst 1 can rely upon you as you may rely upon me."— Th:s observation of the KING will, no doubt, ex cite much in the way of commentary, and so, in all probability, wit: &by distinguished manner in which the Marshal DAvousT (Prince D'Ectottatt.) as one of the deputation of Peers, was received by Mo,.IIIIEUR, from the manner he proposed to treat all future petitions complaining of the unconsti tutionality of banishing regicides. BEONAPARTE will lay down the paper for a moment, which shall record this transaction of DAVOUST, in order to re flect on the circumstance. In The Courier of last night is an article, dated Manchester, Jan. 4, taken, as it is observed by the above paper, from The Manchester Herald. It begins thus—" Wo have received from the Bo rougbreeve and Constables an advertisement for ' insertion, calling a Public Meeting to consider the hest means of affording relief to the necessitous poor in the present inclement season." So far, • very well. The article itself observes—" This is I , as it should be." It then proceeds to make com meats on the generosity of the one party, and on the demerits of the other: laying, however, the pristine sins to the account of the Birdies! Orators • and Newspaper writers, who, the compounder of this farrago of stuff says, inculcated " hatred 'mid malice, and all uncharitableness, not only ; against the actual Government, but against all ranks of society, and every description of per- !sons, excepting only the silly victims themselves I whom they had induced to join the standard off uproar, in the wickedly-vain hope of participating in the universal plunder which they contemplated." Without spending time in estimating the erudite- I cress in the composition of one of our provincial papers, and remarking on the judgment of a London F.ditor in copying his production, we will proceed to what in a more particular manner offends our eye and disgusts our taste: though we ought, en passant, to acknowledge that the article is free from one incongruity—which is, that it does except " the silly victims themselves" from the persons to be plundered. But the offensive expression we alluded to is, that, after commending the proposed means of re lieving the necessitous poor, the Commentator says, either in his own words, or of those who suggested the measure itself, that " never was a contemplated I work of mercy better timed." The writer speaks of the hatred and malice, &c. on the one part — now, if here be not impiety and insult in the other, we know not what is such. We do indeed apply the word mercy to the attribute of Royalty; but to tile Manchester Magistrates, ii is downright impious.

The highest price of Conz sole for tlx Account has been 01, buyers; and afki various fluctuations, they closed yesterday at nal, sellers. This fall was occasioned by ration.; reports, the principal one was the diminution of the revenue to a very large amount, which, com bined with a great .kmerican house selling, check ed the market, which otherwise looked remarkably brisk. This day being n holiday at the Bank, there has been no money transactions; but, nevertheless, there has been a great deal doing for to-morrow, which will be the first transfer duy in Consols and Navy 5 per Cents. ; the price of the former opened at 66: for the Account, and have been done at 691; the price is now about 69. There seems to be still a probability of a further rise, as the dividend money will be in circulation during this week, which, with other circumstances, may induce the public:to buy ; there has been no particular reports in circu lation to-day, except that the revenue is very defi cient, and that a large quantity of Exchequer Bills has been paid into the Treasury instead of money, but these can only be surmises; under all these cir cumstances the Stock Market looks extremely well Extract of a letter from a young a young officer on board the American frigate Congress, to his friend in Washington : Rio Janeiro.
