We are assured, that some days before the death of the Empress of Austria, Count Stadion, the Minister of Foreign Aff.urs, delivered a Circular Note to the accredited Envoys of the Belligerent Powers, in which he made an offer of the mediation of his Sovereign, and invited them to a Congress, to be holden at any place within the circuit of the Austrian to.sitory. 7h. Megraph observes, that the interests of the different States. though at present more continent d than ever, still allow some hopes of peace. It is in the nature of things that confusion should ultimately produce order. Russia, whose armies have been driven from the Vistula to the Pregel, and are only protated by the thaw and the impassable nature of the ground, cannot but perceive that she will hazard every thing, should she wait till she is driven from that position, in consequence of the extraordinary re inforcements which have been drawn horn France. The ridiculous attempt upon Constantinople will necessarily lower the English in the esteem of the Ru.sians.

The French, uncertain of their success, have pm det.tly thrown two bridges •ver the river Elbe near Artenl.urg. Their fear of a British expedi tion is as great as ever ; and, in faet, there was never a more favourable opportunity for a Britisll force appearing on the Continent, than the present one, which, if not profited by, will perhaps never offer again.

I 1 those Punts that are avowedly hirelings, we do not blame that ingenuity, which we see daily pradi.ed, to colour the imbecility of the pre. sent l'ilinisters, pr degrade the merits of the last. The reader is there upon his guard— he feels like a Juror in the Boz, listening to the speech of an hired advocate. But when the Editor of a Newspaper speaks in the charade! of a reporter, when he undertakes to stare what passed in Cov-u.garden, in the presence of 5s)00 people, a w liul perversion of fads becomes an in sult to the public. la such light we consider the above tetrad, from an Evening Print of yesterday. Mr. Su eairsa:r was not " unexpededly proposed a Can _Wale tot Westminster," yesterday,. nor did " the snob express their disapprobation in a very decided manner." It is notorious in Westminster, that Mr. SHeltlD4t4 was the second Candidate proposed, in due and regider form, on Thursday, the first day of the Eledion, • but that, from some irregularity, since redified,:he Hirai Ibis ter refused to admit any person to vote for him, until yesterday; and it is also w:11 known, that Mr. SIIIRIDAN WAS well received by " the m' b ;" a circumstance which we are astonished to find made a matter of any value in the hackney prints. Such false suggestions. and shallow misrepresenta tions, are worthy of the followers of that loyal, patriotic, liberal, and disinterested Statesman, Gs wins Rose ; who, when retiring from office, put jn his pocket a valuable public document, thereby depriving his successor of the bene fit of the issfor matron which it contained ; who had afterwards the indiscreet effrontery to produce that identical paper in the House of Commons ; and when called upon to account for its previous sup pression, had the manners; to plead, that, " in. deed he had paid for the prir tang of it out of his own private pocket, and thought he had a right to apply at to his own private use." If this argument he good for any thing, every Clerk under Govern. merit may have every valuable paper in his office printed at his own expense, and when turned out of 4fice, walk away with it in his pocket, leaving his successor without a single light to coda hitt. in )41 , liffi tuft way.
