LONDON, TnuitsoAY, JAN. 14. The Austrian Ambaraador to our Court, Prince STattnamaaao, has begun to make preparations fur his departure, and, it is expected, will leave to„ 'a in a few• days. Ile will proceed to Paris. We announced yesterday the departure of Count MIER, on his return to Paris, with dispatches for Count 111ErrzawIce, the Austrian Minister in that city. He arrived at Dover about 7 o'elock ou Tuesday night.—The Elizabeth flag of truce, which had remained in Dover Roads, sine her arrival from Calais, came on Tuesday into the harbour for his reception, and he was to sail early lust morning for France. Our contemporaries, ho have so repeatedly and positively denied that the journey of Count 'Para had any thing of a pacific character, in relation to this country and France, yesterday made the awe& honorable, and cond .' scended to eat their own words. One of them says—" It is probable that ' some overture has been made to onr Govern ment, through the medium of Austria. It is not to be supposed that BONAPARTE would have suffered the frequent interchange of couriers and flags of truce, had it not related to a subject in which France was immediately concerned. Had not the late Bags of truce related to the sub ject of mediation, the official paper woald have said so. The dispatches coming from M. de METTERNICH, who is the Austrian Minister at Paris, afford an additional proof that they related to a subject of which the French Government had cognizance, and in which it was interested. In these dispatches, we believe, an offer of the mediation of Austria was made, which offer, we have no doubt, was distinctly and positively rejected. In the present state of the Con tinent, England could not find a safe mediator in any Power." This iudirect approach to a nee eiatiou, or rather feeling of each other's pulse, by ..tbsw.eir4pective Governments, through the Aus -410111,14 MINISTER, is all that we ever contended Ist "ind precisely what the Print from which we kiree 'mule this quotation stoutly denied. The New York Papers of the 14th la►t hare re published the Non-Importation Act, so long threatened, and enforced for the first time on that day.—As it is now become an article of great in terest to the commercial world, and it is of importance that it should be well known, we also re-publish it.—lt seems to bL the general opi nion, that if the Americans had not been deter mined upon war, they would not have enforced this obnoxious Act. The Campion armed cutter arrived, on Monday, at Portsmouth, from Buenos Ayres ; she left the River Plata on the c2.sth of Sept. having on board the British Hostages, Captains Srannort, CAR 80:4.0mA liAmiLioN, and upwards of 200 sot diets, principally belonging to the 71st Regiment, whom General WICITICLOCILI had been obliged to leave behind, they having been tent by the Spa niards far into the interior of the country. The Campion touched at St. Helena on the lid: of November, and left there 30 soldiers belonging to the corps in that Island ; she sailed from that Island qn the 16th of November, at which time the Agioaxoart, of 64 guns, Capt. Hill, was waiting at that Island, for convoy. The Campion came as a cartel, anti had on board Lieut. T 11031.11% of the Navy, Agent for transports. No Indiamen had tensed at St. Helena when the Campion came away. She left there an American, and the Star whaler, WILKINSON, from Port Jackson. We were greatly amused, last night, with read idg the following article in The (eerier :— .• IL was to be expected that endeavours would be made to give a party-colouring to the late Meeting at Glasgow.—An Opposition Paper states, that the Resolutions agreed upon at the Meet ing, are said to have been the result of a com promise. It being supposed that the object of those who called the Meeting was to obtain an en logjam on Ilis MAJESTY'S Ministers, together with an Address, encouraging a continuation of war, a hint was gives, that if such so intention was persisted in, an Amendment would be moved and carried. The hint is snid to have been taken, and the Resolutions acd Address framed accordingly.' —The object of those who called the Meeting, WAS to express to Ilia MAJIISTT the detc-mination of the inhabitants of Glasgow to support the in terests of the Empire, and their opinion that ho nourable Peace could only be obtained by vigorous and persevering trtertion , . This object was accom plished, es the Resolui.ion, carried unnttimowsly, But,it is said, a hint was given, that if sap idea .was entertained of obtaining au eulogium on lninjotets, in Amendment could be moved ; and this Litt, it is added, was taken.— I That any such hint was given we very much doubt. —But if it Was given, it is obvious it was not taken; and indeed it would appear, that those who did give it, were well content to abandon it, and to act themselves in direct opposition to it—For the Resolution passed unanimously by the Meeting, does contain an eulogiuni, and a very warm one, upon His Majzrrr's Ministers. It asserts, that the Merchants and Manufacturers, who were pre- sent at the Meeting, were fully satisfied that it is only by persevering in proierpt, trite, and vigo rous measures, that we are to hope for the attain ment of our wishes—a safe, honourable, and lasting peace.'—ln desiring prompt, wise, and vigorous measures, to be perrevered in, the Meeting o f course shewed it to be their conviction that such a system had been begun, and that the pleasures which had been adopted deserved the epithets of prompt, vigorous, and wire.—We should be glad to know what stronger eulogium could Le passed upon His Majesty's Ministers?" The observation alluded to as appearing in an opposition paper, was made in THE BRITISH PRESS of yesterday. 110r....cE has most truly said— preza, and disgust at seeing ts-uth daily pervertel far purty purposes, could induce WI to say even so much u?ou th e se meetings respecting petitions for peace, contieleat as we are that they tam answer no good purpose at the present moment k confident as we are that every measure that tends to divide and distinct public opinion, and paralyze the ener gies of the country, is to be deprecated as nothing short of high treason, at a moment like this, of tin exampled difficulty and danger, when this little kingdom is contending against all the world in arms, when it is fightsag, not for the ordinary ob jects of ambition, but for existence, and nothing under Providence can save it, but a complete and well directed union of all its physical and moral powers. A Gottenburgh Mail arrived, yesterday, letters and papers, from Stockholm, to the 29th last, and Copenhagen to the 27th. The latter state, on the authority of accounts from Cron3tadt, that great activity prevails in the Russian fleet in that port, coasisting of 16 sail of the line, and 125 gun-boats. We may expect that 4 will attempt some operation early in spring. Wc have uniformly entertained an opinion that BONAPARTE, in his late visit to Milan, extended his views even farther than Turkey. The foreign papers received this day, state, that the French army, in Dalmatia, is in activity, and will march through Constanti nople and Egypt, to Bengal. There is something so romantic in the idea, and so peculiarly suited to the ambition of BONAPARTE, combined with his deadly hatred of England, we ought not to be surprised were be to attempt this extraordinary expedition. The intelligence from Turkey seems to announce the speedy fall of that once powerful Empire. The Turkish army has again been de feated by the Servians, in a decisive action; hot what is more important, the Russians, so far from making any preparations to evacuate Moldavia and Wallachia, pursuant to the terms of the Armistice, have reinforced their army in those provinces: their advanced posts have been streugthened, and all intercourse with Turkey strictly prohibited.— The Diplomatic Corps, in Holland, have removed from the Hague to Utrecht. In order to check the depredations of the ene my's privateers on the eastern coast, the Oberon and Calypso sloops of war, and Censor gun-brig, are to cruise between Newcastle and Yarmouth; and the Sappho sloop of war is also appointed to cruise between Newcastle and Flamborough. Adnuml Lord GAIIIIIHR it, is said will hoist hip Bag on board the Victory, now at Chatham, cele brated as the flag ship of the Great Lord NaLsoN. in the glorious battle of Trafalgar. Admiral MULIAY, with the transports and troops from Monte Video, was detained at Cork by con trary winds on the 6th instant, but they are hourly expected at Portsmouth. Our readers will find, in our Irish news, that a large proportion of the Nobility and Gentry of the count• of Tipperary have signed a Declaration iu favour of the Catholic Question. It is generally understood that no Amendment wig be moved to the Address nn the opening of the ensuing Session of Parliament. The RECORDER'S Report, we understand, is against Bullock, the Bankrupt. General WIIITELOC[E'S Court Martial will com mence on the 19th, in the large room at Chelsea. It is believed Major-General Laysson Gowaa will be the 'Or and not Sir SANUI ~ await . ACHIROTY. General Gowan had a conference yesterday with General WYVERRO, at the Adjutant-General's office. The part of the German Legion which had been disembarked at Plymouth, has been re-em barked, and will sail with the first fair wind, with the 32d and soth regiments, to join Sir Own= Corrox's Expedition. 1.4 Seine, aline French privateer, has been taken, and sent into Plymouth. Intelligence has been received by the Under writers at LLoirea.raspecting the capture of Roma American vessels by the Algennes in the Mediter ranean. We have good reason to believe, that the extra ordinary traveller, Mutton Psaor, is still living. A Foreign Journal gives, in a lettar from Copen hagen, the following account of the conduct of the English troops in Zealand The first business of the English Officers on their landing, was to look out the best horses belonging to the country people, which they immediately anglicized. The Stiortekark, the apron fellows, as the Danes call the Scotch Highlanders, seized the cattle, the fowls. the geese, &c. The soldiers ran about in the villages with drawn swords, cutting at the ducks, which they could not immediately catch. The peasants received a sound drubbing, when they did not immediately obey the orde rs that were given." No small struggle seems to have taken place be tween adventures East ands! of Temple-Bar, respecting the present City ry as its mere Capital Prises pnneipally rest on aty round, the former naturally wish to possess thetn, and are therefore extensively patronising the Schnee; while those of Westminster are anxious to obtain such Capital Freeholds in the city. It is to be observed, at the s:lrne Ow_ numerous country adventu rpm are very , sliatous to posses excellent houses in town. Naturaus fusel expellas tamen usque securest ; the thorough-Jiro! Jacobin is always a Jacobin., lie may turn hi, coat, as the serpent slips his skin, but he is a serpi.iit still. This present worshipper of the Deity in Downing-street does not forget the principles and tenets of his old idol Bow arArre. The writer in The Courier will allow no neutrals, no limitation of suit and service, no bounds to flat tery and servility. The paper that dares to think for itself, and to sustain the dignity of the public press, is immediately dubbed "an opposition paper," a paper actuated by " the base spirit of faction ;" for such are the terms in which the rotten and cor rupt part of the public press describes all that is fair and independent of it ; Ell that is not ready to flatter and " Crook the pregnant hinges of the knee, where thrift mug follow ;" - - - all that is not ready to full down and worship the Minister of the day ; all that is not ready to swear and forswear, as suits the interests and wishes of the party. Having given this spe cimen of the truth and accuracy of The Carrier, in its definition of an opposition paper, we shall next notice the accuracy of its lassie. It asserts that the Resolution passed unanimously by the Meeting at Glasgow, does contain a very warm eulogium upon His MAJESTY'S Ministers. And why ? Because, says The Courier, " The Resolution asserts that the Meeting were fully satisfied, that it is only by persevering is prompt, wise, and vigorous mea sures, we are to hope for the attainment of a safe, lasting, and honourable peace." From Zeno to the Grave-digger in Hamlet, there is not to be found such a curious piece Of induction. The premises amount to a mere abstract proposition. They do not contain a single relative term ; and yet the sophist in The Courier, in defiance of every rule of right reasoning, and in direct opposition to the plain and simple meaning of the paragraph, identi fies it with the present Ministers, and assumes that the proposition, which is equally true, as a general proposition, in all cases, applies only to the manner in which the present war is conducted by the pre sent Ministen, and to their measures. The notice of the Lotto PROVOST of Glasgow, convening the Meeting, announced for its object " to congristu late His MAJESTY upon the vigorous and active line of conduct which has been piirsued in the pro secution of the war, and upon the lordliest suc cesses with which these energetic measures have so happily been crowned." It required not a little confidence in any person pretending to understand the English language to suatert, that the Resolution keeps the promise held oat in the notice, that it participates of its temper, or its tone, rail is " a warm eulogium" upon the Ministers. We believe we were not the only persona struck with the dif ference between the spirit of the notice and the Resolution, though, with the exception of THE GLOM, this was the only paper that accounted for it, by fairly and truly attributing it to a com promise. But if any thing were wanting to prove the truth of our explanation, the Treasury Journals themselves would supply the deficiency. They state, that the hall was crowded with all parties, and that tunny persons attended who are in the habit of differing most essentially on political questions. Were then these party-men all gagged or muz zled ? and if not, how came it that the question was carried without one dissenting voice, or one word spoken in opposition ? The answer is ob vious---the notice was emasculated. It was strip: of all strength and vigour, and cut down to a men abstract self-evident proposition. When such parties do agree, their unanimity is wonderful ; a n d this is the true solution of the mystery upon the present occasiru, the true ground of 'he universal assent of the Glasgow Mectiog.— It is not our intention to pursue this subject far :lux.
