VittggA, Juts B.—The Emperor has already reached his domains in Lower Austria, where he is to spend four or five days. A courier just ar. rived, inform* us, tint west: not have the plea. sure of seeing his Majesty so soon as we expected: he will repair by another road to Buda, where he Intends to spend about throe weeks. He will then go back to Bohemia, and return with the stn press. An extensive district of the left bank of the Diuube, near Moravia, has considerably suffered by the hail. The harryst is excellent through the greater pelt of Austria:* JUN Y.--Next month is to be carried into exe. extion the patent of the 18th May, concerning She calling IN and the suppression of the bank. reales.

It is true that they threw some gremailes and some Cougreve rockets into Chiossa, but they were so afrisi.i of our 24. pound. alt, and of our red hot balls, that nu damage was done. Their rockets did nut re6ch their object. They affect to menace Curfu ; but'they dare not venture to make a serious attack. They know eiat in that island preparations have been made to receive them, amd to r;unlilt tlieMfor their rhodo.. moutaties. Com', MAT 13.—We have this instaot re. ceirud sews eit a serious misunderstanding having broken out between the English and the Ottoman Porte. Our island is in want of nothing whatever. — 'no garrison are very anxious that the English' should attempt a landing. Their ersiising does not occasion the slightest interruption to our con. tinnal communiations with all the ports of the Adriatic. The harvest promises to be very abundant. The inhabitants daily bless the French Government, which has taken them under its protection. The marriage of his Majesty the Emperor and King was cerebrated hero by public fetes. .The Guyer. isiik:General gave a grand dinner to the members of the- first public authorities. M.

But havingshown, that Mrs. CLAaat's Publication does not ujfees that great dent of the Exposes; we are not inclined to follow sty joerd FOLKESTONE with any further remarks. his maw his Lordship's personal affair ; ond he meet sake the best ho can of it. With respect to the Dake of Ca". we have td Amen, aka -doer k no evidence raltatever, of Ireities.anzit'i . amertions relative to his Royal Itlglaseen and there is no one• person in the Uuitud trogdara who ill give any credit to Mrs. CLAIIKE's unsupported state. moots. But to the charge which this Second Edition brings against Colonel WAttor,s, we feel it our duty to pay a more particular attention. We view the matter in this way—Colonel WAR. or.ohas rendered an incalculable benefit to the Country by the exrosuae: ho has been duce persecuted in vlaritius ways, and persecuted because , sf that great sevice rendered to his country : hitherto, we have /seen able conscientiously to defend him against die machinations of Ministers (of which Mrs. CLARKS'S publication forms a part)and we trust, we than still be able to : do so, with equal honour and purity of motive. As fur 'Nte story which appears in this second edition, in the shape , f a Letter from Dr. O'Metas, the Letter ?nay have been written at the time it as. teams to have been written by the date thion it; or it.may have been manufactured since. This is of little import. it is either a real Latter from Dr. O'MEARA, or is a fabrication %made with his own consent; and, in either tase, taking it also as it now stands, unsupported by evidence, kis of no more value than Mrs. CLAftaa's ine<e word.

If the English adopt, uts the basis of the Exchange, th,it of including all prisoners who were comprised in the two belli gerent mues li that is to say, the Spaniards and Portuguese, there will bo no longer any obstable to the exchange of prisoners, and 110,000 area will reboot to their country.

The coulter. sedan happening to turn on the subject of Sir FRANCIS Bo OTtlerr, somebody observed that there would probably be gteet commotion on the day on which the Baronet was to be discharged from con. finement. %%semisoft suddenly turned to General SAIIRAZIN ) and asked him what he would do if he were in Ettgland, and any serious disturbances should arise? The consciousness on the part of the latter that he was to endeavour to carry his plan tor an escape into eV:endow th e next morning, . land the unexpected and singular application to hint on this occasion, for a moment disconcerted him, and almost induced him to apprehend that his in. tendons had been discovered. In a moment, how. ever, he recovered himself, and coolly answered, that in such a state of things in England, he should probably endeavour to get out of the coon. try as soon as he could. The matter theu passed Off, though the General thinks, that if the cum. patsy had nol been sacrificing so freely at the Bac chanalian shrine, his embarrassment might have tended to excite some suspicion, and probably have frustrated his purpose. Orders have been sent to Chatham for the Mane. dials equipment of 1? more gun-boats. Net a carriage of any kind is now to be pro. cured in London for Oxford , and travellers are leek!, it, by taking a seat its the coach for Vir uslegliasa, or even a greater distance, they can procure a conveyance to Oxford.

The proceedings of the Uuiversity will, of course, be similar to whit took plaits in 1793, when the Duke a PORTLAND ant took his MI in the Theatre. The poetical coospositioas written fur the emu. beg grand festival at Oxford, will be 'worthy of the literary character of the,Uttiversity, and wor thy ots Ow occasion.

The uncertainty of law is slavery In its woiit shape; a bad system of fixed law is liberty in comparison. There at least a loam path is pointed out, though rugged and tortuoes ; but how galling is that untnown. measure of oblige thin, which leaves no beacon in the political ocean to direct the course of the unhappy mariner, so that it it next to impossible he should escape the rocks and quicksands which surround him on every side. The law of libel, even with the advantage of independent Judges and Juries, is liable. to objection in this view; but when- an individual, , or any distinct body of men, pretend to make, to construe, and to execute the law, cautiously avoiding at the same time to define and explain the code upon which they proceed—what must be the state of those whose Julies expose them to the effects of such a system ?. It would be afore ho. uourable and candid toxavert at once to the impel: motor, for !he permission to poblish en sack ferias is neither more nor lass than a snare, foe the oppo.• cents of the Minister of the day. hat he or his .favourites chuse to _denominate a breach of privi. l iege is declared to bo such, for privilege is unde fined and will suit all purposes, and the accused is 'hurried to gaol at the will and pleasure of his pro. Socutoes, and detained tbere under the same sane. tion and by the was authority. A bad Minister is most likely to take advantage of this power— and that power will assuredly be 'directed against those \who most strenuously and clearly point out his maiversations,so that the higher the merit of the obnoxious object, the more certain and severe is his punishment; such must he the state of the press under the dominion of undefined privilege! When the wife of the Marshal D'Ascae was about to be put to death, on the false charge of 1 haying acquired her influence over the mind of Mane DE MEDICIS by witchcraft,• she was asked, by what power of sorcery she had gained such an ascendancy ? the' heroine replied, -" Je me sois servie do pouvoir qu'onl les ones fortes sore les esprits foibles." What a profound magician would he be thought, who could seccessfutly , ap ply the same species of witchcraft to the esprit, ' foibles of our sapient Ministers!
