Now at a moment when the Cabinet of Austria is about to come to its final resolve, and adopt its ulti mate measures, .is this a language fit to be applied to its head, or to the power against whom we should be glad to see it inimical ? Could the Emperor of A writ IA feel other than dislike to this opprobrious representation of his brother Emperor and.Son-in law, thocgh in arms against him ?

" Riding one day before his attendants, on the bank of the little river Wilna, and not far from the .town of that name, in Lithuania, his Majesty per ceived several persons dragging something out of the ,water, which proved to be the body of a man, appa rently Lifeless. Having directed the boors around hint to convey the body to a hank, he proceeded, with his Own hands, to assist in taking the wet clothes front the apparent corpse, and to rub his temples, wrists, &c. for a considerable time, but without any visible effect. While thus occupied, his Majesty Iva; joined by the Gentlemen of his suite, among whom wns au Engiish Surgeon, in the Emperor's service, who proposing to bleed the patient, his Majesty held and tubbed his arm, rendering also every other as sistance in his power. This attempt failing, they centinued to employ; alt other means they could de vise until more than three hours were expired, when .the Surgeon declared it to be a hopeless case. His Ma jesty, however, not yet satisiied, desired that the attempt to let blood might be repeated, which was accordingly done, the Emperor and his noble attend ants making a last effort in rubbing, &c. e hen thee bad, at length, the satisfaction to behold the I lend 'makes Its appearance, accompanied .with a tl*tent groan. Ms-Majesty's emotions were so ardent, that in the plenitude of his joy, he exclaimed- 4 this :s r:the brightest. day of my life,' and the ttftra-Atia%ch :instantaneously glistened in his eyes i total the sincerity of his exclamation. 64 This favourable appearance occasioned them fir redouble their exertions, which were finally crowned success. When the Surgeon was looking about `for something to stop the blood and tie up the arm with, the Emperor took out his handkerchief, tom it la pieces, bound up the poor fellow's arm with it, and remained till he• saw him quite recovered, and 'proper care taken of him. His Majesty concluded this act of benevolence, by ordering the restored pea sant a sum of money, and otherwise providing for him and his family. " The Royal Humane Society, on hearing of this noble instance of philanthropy, expressed their testi mony of the high sense they entertained of it, by voting their gold medal, with in appropria . e inscrip tion,*to the Emperor, and requesting his Makst)'s gracious acceptance of it."—From The ifctid,,nts of Human Life, with Hints for their Prevention, or Removal of their Consequences.

Two Gentlemen who- lately honoured Worthing with a short sojourn, and bestowed their favours pretty liberally on the tradesmen of the town, by giving. orders for clothes, and dicers other articles, which were promptly delivered, on Wednesday evening took an abrupt departure,_ which created ! suspicion, and caused a pursuit.
