COWES, DEC. A Brig of too tons, supposed to be Swedish . built, laden with Port wine, was towed on shore on the hack of the Isle of Wight, on Monday last ; hav ing been first discovered near the Owers on her beam ends, without any soul or living' ,creature on board. Being a derelift vessel, she has been claimed as a droit of the Crown. The Berbice Packet, BARENS, from Berbice to Amsterdam, laden with coffee ; and the Friendship, VAN VEEN, from Maasluys to Bilboa, 'with cheese and wheat, are both put into Cowes leaky, and are obliged to unload. The Hurricane which was experienced on Morn_ day se'nnight, on the English Coast, was also felt with great violence on the Coascof France. Much damage was done amongs't the vessels at Havre and other Ports. We understand that theTetition against theßeturn T for the County of Middlesex will certainly-be pre_ sented on Monday next. .. . . An Austrian Minister has published a work upon the consequences and operation of • the Indemnitieg. theCatholie States which have had hitherto the majority of votes will in future have a minority. By the cession of the left bank of the Rhine, twen ty-one Catholic Votes, and one firo4s.staot vote, are entirely extinguished. The numberqf Catholic votes at the bier, which was formerly 54: %1 -..4;.redtteed to ape whilst the number of Protestants, which was 4.3, is increased to 59, so that the Protestant States of the Empire will in future have at their disposal two thirds of all the votes. Leters from Vienna of , ,the 19th%of last month, state that the Imperial Cabinet has: strongly re_ monstrated againq the recent proceedings of th e FIRST CONSUL, in annexing the' Dutchies of Par ma and Piacenza to the French Republic. It pears that, by the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle, in 1748, the House of Austria claims - the succession to these Sovereignties in case of the failure of issue in the present reigning branch, that part of them alone excepted which is situated on the Western bank of the River Stura. Spain, therefore, the line-. rial Court contends, has no right to cede to a third Power the eventual succession of Austria, secured as it is by the faith of a solemn Treaty.—Should the representations of the Imperial Minister ar Paris, with respeft to this suble% prove unsuccessful, it is generally thought that the EMPEROR will insist upon adequate indemnities.' The insult offered to Count STAHR FMBERG by the French Government, must seem the more ex tra Ordinary, as that Nobleman's manners and con. ' duet are upon all occasions regulated by elegance • and propriety. 'YOLICE OF EDINBURGH.--Monday a Weting, consisting of a number of the principal Inhabitants, was held in the Merchants' Hall, Edinburgh, for the purpose of taking into consideration a proposal for: applying to Parliament to obta;n a new Police Bill' for that City—Sir WILLIAM FORBES was called to the chair. We are only enabled... to' mention, that a Committee was named to whom the business, for the present, was referred. John - Burr, a Jobbing Gardener, of Brentwood, was cinmitted to Chelmsford Gaol, on Thursday, charged with having conveyed to a Prisoner in the House of CorreEtion there, a file and Albottle; con taining aqua fortis, with an intent tcf - mist the - Said Prisoner in making his escape. The filt and aqUa fortis were conveyed, buried in a piece of'bread, by BItt• in person, who was admitted to see his friend, as he called him, on Tuesday last. One of the Prisoners, who had been made acquainted with the projected escape, turned evidence, and discovered the whole plot.

In consequence of the indisposition of three of these Amateur Per formers, the characters of Kills- Henry and the Prince of Wales were very kindly undertaker by Mr.Frtz oERALD, and Capt. HICKS. Mr. CUBIT, who a f e w years ago, belonged to COvent Garden Theatre,' performed Falsta f f. Mr. FITZGERALD'S talents in Recitation have often been exerted at Public, 'Meetings.

A Physician from Paris, named ()Lt. 'VARI, arrived there some days preceding, for the purpose of ascending with a Montgnifier. After making two unsuccessful experiments, .he at length, on the day mentioned above, succeeded in raising' himself with his balloon, to which he had pre-' vinusly affixed a basket, having in it combustibles and spirituous liquors, for the purpose of feedin the flame which was to promote his ascent. He ascended about half past twelve'at noon, with such -/ rapidity that the balloon was out of sight in three minutea. Half an hour afterwards, a huSbandman, who was labouring in the fields near Fleury, carne to inform the May - or:of that Commune, that a man had fallen from a'greik•height in the air near the place where he was a&_work.
