Letters from Lemberg state, that the discussions respecting the determination of the limits between Russia and Austria are about to be brought to u conclusion. It is generally understood that Rituals is to obtain all the circle of Tarnopol. In the circle of Zaldscayk she is to have the left bank of the Dniester. and besides a part of the circles of Zlocssw nud Drzesan. These countries, which stretch aloug the left of the Unit ger, do out include any domainictil property. Austria, by retaining the right bank of the river, preserves the important communication be tween Gallicia and Transylvania, but she loses a territory so fertile in grain, that some years ago two bushels sold there for only fifteen trait:era. The carriers from Moravia sad Silesia, who bring mer chandise to Lemberg, and return empty, pais through Tarnopole in order to bur wheat there, which, briug cheap, covers the expenses of their jnoroey. Zileiczyk, the capital of the Circle of that name, ceded to Russia, is a handsome town, in an advantageous situation on the Dniester, which is there of considerable breadth. Nothing is known with certainty mpecting the line of deiniirkatiou. as the Pleuipotentiaries have still souiething to regulate ow that point; but it is filse, as souse journals have announced. that Rus sia insisted that the territory ceded should contain • population of 40.000 wales; on the contrary. both sexes are included in that number, as is generally understood in inch cessions.

The Mwulear of the sth c.iiitaius a decree for the relief of certain persons confined its the state prisms of France. whorls it would neither be expedient, political, or prefer. to bring to foul in the ordinary way. nor safe or proper to set at liberty. Of these persons, 60111 t are described as having figurtd in the civil wars; others as hoeing been employed by the Polite, in foreign countrisw. sud failed in their fidelity ; others as subjects of the eat(' united to France, but whose crimes were anterior to the union ; others as charged with offences ofs mere political nature; and others as men whose guilt is certain, hut cannot he rst.ib:iNlied by legal proof. The decree liming thus rented in the preantbk the description of State Prisoners for whom benefit it is intended, then proce e d s t o the enacting clauses and provisions, which are compii-ed in five distinct and several chapters. Tile first, iutiihvil F o rovolitie t t o t o olostrotof for dettimaiem iw ass•-frasitr Prisomo," pro. vides that as person can be detained in a state prison, lint by virtue of a decision made upon the report of the ChiefJuwier. or the Minister of Mlle.", in a Privy Council- This detention is nut to be prolorigyd beyond a year. unle-s4 by a new order.

An article, d :rum Dosszlclork *hews the horror which the remscriptioo excites in Hui!anti. ,It appears to be a practice among the unfortunate men, who coins uithln its iron gireip, to mutilate and reader theniseives unfit for military service. Nspoisan has ordered that persons of this descrio-7 tioa ahould'be sent to work ou the ramparts of. dit hers or Wesel. Among the few other articles in the Dutch Papers, which do not relate to his appoach incouptials with the Archduchess fiLtata-Loutss, is one which states, that the urgociations between Austria and Ru4is, respecting their_ bunts in Pc land, are on the eve of a final adjustment. lii au article from Turkey it is said that the Eng lish squadron under Sir SAMULL Hoop has passel the Dardanelles, to cruise against the Russians in the Black Sea. Strongly u we have, upon every' occuion, en deavoured to demonstrate the incapacity, and to reprobate the misconduct of the preseut Ministers ; and ardently as we anticipate, upon public grounds, a change in the administration of the country, yet we by uo means des:re to be understood, as con sidering the immediate abandonment or evacuation of the Py reneun peninsula, to be synonimous with, or inseparable from, a change of Ministry. It is, indeed, possible that Mr. WNITIIIINAD msy hold or maintain such a pi inciple t. but we are fir from thinking that such opininus have been expressed, or are felt by the heads of opposition in both Mau . ses of Parliament: we mean by Lerd GREN• VILLE MA Lord Gaim—by Musty. Putssueae, SIIENIDAN. &c.—though that it)tsertion has, we fear, bred ueed in order to prejudice the Hoyel mind against them. Here, however, it is fleece &Wry to make a distinction between the partious of the peninsula itstlf—between Spain and Portugal. If Nay, Mutate& and Ju NOS, ut the head of three superior armies, enter and iuvade the last of those kingdoms. penetratiug into it nearly at the same time by Oporto, Guardia, and Eivas. it is not easy to conceive bow the force of English and Portu guese. under Lord WELLINGTON and Marshal Beaesroao, even aided by nos:MlA's army, in the vicinity of Radejo.. can resist such an attack. Ner is it much easier to comprehend how they can be re.etabarkcd in the 'Peps and the Douro, %lib oat confusion and loss, under the eye of the French. We have always regarded, and we still consider, the position of our troops iu Portugal as critical and perilous. But iu Sp in, the aspect of things• is wideiy different. BONAPARTE is arrived, in that kingdom, at a point where his difficulties augment, while his machinery becomes weak or almost int poteut. Ile hes, iudted, over-run the interior pro winces of the monarchy, burst through the passes of the Guadasaaaa and of the Sierra Morena, cut to pies s, or dispetried, the Spanish armies, corrupted or terrified the Junta, and proclaimed his brother Journ King, in Madrid aad Seville. But all these facts confer neither security nor permanency. Cadiz, havisg neither been entered by a cup de wain, nor surrendered to him by treachery. may defy his whole power; and, if sustained by the Beets, armies, and support of this country. acting in conjunction with the wind and military strength of Spaiti, well not improbably present a point ivace cessible to those legions Which have given the law to Germany and to Russia. In order to place this position in a conspicuous light, and to bring it more under the surrey of every man who reflects, let us endeavour to put Great Britain in the situation of Spain. Let us suppose, that, by the imbecility. iufatnation, and pusilleminaity of the Government, the Conic au Estreaua bed been admitted into London; that the Ronal Family, by his atrocious mtinceusm. were shut up in his prisons ; and, lastly, that the keys of the country, on the side of France, Dover, Hernia, Yarmouth, sent Hull, lied been put into hie I ands: To complete the assimilatiou, let us ethnic, that the British armies in the. field had been defeated ur dig. pencil, and that E litiburgh. as well as London, was occupied by him troops 1 .--Such • condition would be assuredly most ealaulitous ; but, could it be es. teemed hopeless, if Portsmouth, Plymouth. aid Chatham, were all three unreduced ; nay, unit tacked, to any 'crimes purpose? If, at Portsmouth, in addition to our own naval and military means, a powerful Spanish fleet and hal f of forces were there acting in union with us ? Lastly ; if. besides the general abhorrence felt for the invaders, and their ridli Chief, the chute county of Kent. lyiug moat contiguous to France, was in anus against hint. soil actually giving battle to his soldiery, un der the stalls of Canterbury, oe at Deal ?—Would the Spaniards pronounce the state of Britton to be utterly deeperete, and ureter dune armies to be with drawn, leasing as to atilf &lei" We think, on priociptes, even of selfish policy. without suppos ing say metiers of magnanimity to mingle iu the decision. that they would not. Now, it is difficult to conceive any thiag more analogous than the ph:time here delineated. Cadiz.
