General Lan gernun has received orders to meet the Emperor either at Verona or some place on the road ; he is to make a report to the Emperor, and to re ceive from him the new instructions. 44 VIENNA, DEC. 27.—1 t is here considered certain that the Margraviate of Moravia will be united with the Kinstdom of Bohemia, under the same Governor, who will have the title of Captain-General ; and tbat this high dignity is intended for his Imperial Highness the Archduke Charles. It was to his indefatigable exer tions that the rapid organization of sixty Battalions of the Bohemian Legions was owing, which astonished Europe, and is a proof of the great resources of the House of Austria. His Imperial Highness will reside at Prague ; and in the sequel the affairs of that I t.tensive Government will be arranged be tween the Captain-General and the Emperor.-- It is also affirmed that the Emperor will visit Prague in the ensuing spring, and visit the Royal family of Saxony. It is also said his Majesty will go through Siberia to Hungary, and be at I3aden in the season. 44 lIAMBURGII, DEC. 31.—1 n the course of this year there have arrived here 1,522 ships among which were 425 from Holland, East Friezland, the Weser, &c.; 540 frorn England ; 72 from South America ; 37 from North America ; 82 from Spain and the Mediterranean ; 49 from Portugal ; 2 from the Canaries ; 65 from France; 91 from Russia, 5 from Archangel, Finland, and the Baltic ; 52 from Sweden and Norway; and 37 from Denmark ) &c.

THE DEccAN PRIZE CASE.—On Wednesday last we announced the commencement of the hearing of this important case. On that day Mr. ADAM was heard at length in the supporeof the claim of Lord HASTINGS and His Army. On Thursday and yesterday Dr. LUSHINGTON was heard on the same side, when their Lordships adjourned until Monday, when Mr. HAI:. atsox is to commence the case of Sir THOMAS HISLOP fr and the Army of the Deccan, the actual captors. It is expected that the hearing will not close before Thursday or Friday next. Our present Paper contains an Advertisement of an important and extraordinary Periodical Work, the first Number of which is just published. We have read the Prospectus and the first Number, and are, for our part, satisfied that the Editor has completely male out his first proposition, namely, that the wages of the work ing classes may be increased eight-fold, with out diminishing the . slea,l th now enjoyed by the other classes of the people. The publication, it appears, will contain practical propositions for enabling this great and desirable change to be effected, either by the Legislature or by por tions of the people themselves. Political Eco nomy has certainly hitherto been very imper fectly understood, of which the unceasing pre valence of distress, notwithstanding the vast powers possessed by society, is sufficient evi dence. The Work of which we are now speak ing is written in a temperate and dispassionate style. We recommend it to the attention of our Readers, under the conviction that it will amply repay them for the troubl e of its examination. • Mr. Secretary PEEL has arrived in town ; yes terday the Right Hon. Gentleman transacted business at the Home Department. At the Duke of PORTLAND'S rent audit, in Nottinghamshire, last week, no less than 50 per cant. was returned to the respective tenants. THE THEATRES. MtuitY-LANE.—The absence of Mr. KEAN, which afforded Mr. YOUNG an opportunity of re cently appearing in the part of Zanga, allowed him last night also to assume that of Macbeth. We shall not draw any invidious comparisons between the two performers, but simply, in justice to Mr. YOUNG, declare that, in our opinion, he acquitted himself with critical judgment and all requisite animation. Mrs. WEST, fitted for characters of delicacy and softness as she is, throws, however, into the part of Lady Mac beth an accuracy of conception and an energy of manner, highly creditable to her talents. The new Pantomime of The Golden Axe, as we predicted, has been much improved in its pro gress, and is now represented with general ap probation. CO VENT.Zr Alt GEN.—The Opera of Artaxerxes was again performed at this Theatre last night.— We have before noticed the merits of the respec- tive performers, and have therefore only to add that Miss PATON, in Mundane, evidently proved that she is still more recovered from her late ill ness, and therefore gave all the airs allotted to her with increased animation. The whimsical Farce of London Stars followed, amt gave full scope to the mimetic powers of Mr. YAEs. The new Pantomime succeeded with unimpaired at- :Action. Extract of a letter from a Gentleman in Charleston, South Carolina, to his friend in Glasgow, dated November 14, 1822:—" You will have heard of the tremendous hurricane which visited this coast on the 97th September. I have seen no account which conveys an adequate description of it, nor can I think it is within the power of language. Acres of forest trees have been rooted up and driven before the wind, About three hundred per sons have lost their lives. On Sullivan's Island fourteen dwelling houses, and a much greater number of out-buildings, were destroyed. Several persons who tied from their houses lost all sensa tion through the stupefying influence of the wind, and suffered a sort of suspension of existence till the violence abated, and no doubt many in this state were drowned, and others deprived' of life. I had dined the precedina day in company with two gentlemen, one of ;horn lost his wife; the other his wife, a son, private tutor, and two ser vants."---(Glasgow hrockle.) The Baroness HANSTINE, one of the Ladies in attendance on the Duchess of CLARENCE, has been on a visit to the Duchess of KENT during the visit of the Duke and Duchess of CLAR ENCE to the KILN& at Brighton. The Baroness accom panied the Duchess of KENT to Covent-garden Theatre on Wednesday evening. On Thursday morning the Baroness returned to Bushy Park to meet the Duke and Duchess on their return frinn Brighton, and was honoured with the company of the Duchess of KENT. Her Royal Highness re. turned to the King's Palace at Kensington in the eve►i►ng. The Earl of ILCILESTER and the Hon. Mr. STRANUWAYS sailed from llowth for Holyhead, on Sunday last. The Noble Earl and his bro ther have been for some time in this country, on a visit with the Earl and Countess of BELMORE, at their beautiful seat, Castle Cook, near Ennis killen.,( Irish Paper.) The preparatory county meeting for Reform, held in this city on the 2d inst. (on the invita tion of Sir It. Mawr and Colonel gonNsosr), was very thinly attended ; the persons present were in number not more than one 'hundred at the most, and many of 'them were inhabitants of the city, inducting even coal-porters and other la bourers. It was said that a number would have come from Boston had not the Witham been frozen up ; the rain and thaw which commenced on that day were also alluded to as unfavourable circum stances. It was considerably after the hour ap pointed when Sir It. H Enos (who, on opening the business of the day, expressed his concern at the thin . attendance,) accompanied by Colonel jOUNSON and Mr. Russtr, Cou.trri.entered the long room at the Rein Deer, the place appointed for the meeting.—(Lincoln Mercury,) We understand that the requisition to the High Sheriff of the county of Devon, to convene a meet ing on the all-important subject of Parliamen tary Reform, has already received signatures of upwards'of WO respectable freeholders, amongst whom are thirty clergymen of the Established Church. Each individual has annexed to. his name his residence and the situation of his freehold ; thereby strewing at once that he is ear-,' nest in'the cause, and that he is qualified to make the application. It is rumoured that the requisition will not be presented to the. Sheriff until the time for the Yorkshire meeting has been deter.' mined on ; and perhaps, in order to give effect to a measure which is so , universally felt to be of vital interest, it may be expedient that the meetings throughout the country shnuld. be' holden at nearly the same time, and thus pre sent to the Legislature the united expression of a suffering nation constitutionally demanding the restoration of its rights.--( Taunton Gamier.) On Thursday an Inquest was held at the sign of the Red Lion in Walworth, - on the body of a private soldier named Laurence Kirkpatrick, who shot himself. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased had been in the service of Captain Garvock, who resides in South-place, Kennington. 1;' or some time past the deceased was in the habit of drinking to excess. A few days preceding his death the Captain reprimand ed him on the impropriety of his conduct, and threatened to .send him back to do garrison duty if he persevered in this course ; soon after which the deceased borrowed a loaded pistol from the watchman, for the purpose, as he said, of killing rats, and the following morning, not coining as usual to his master, the latter immediately sent for the- deceased's nephew, who found his. unfor. tunate uncle adreadful spectacle, lying dead in the stable, with hislhead and face partly blown off, the deceatied having discharged the contents of the pistol into his mouth. Verdict, " Insanity, produced by excessive drinking." - BRIGHTON, JAN. 9. No invitations have.been issued from the Palace to-day.

Upwards of 1,000 persons of the first rank and fashion graced the room on Tuesday evening. Long before the tuning of the instrnments commenced, every seat was occupied ; and only those who know the-brilliant effect produced by this noble room being well filled with the radiant charms of elegance and beauty, can conceive the delight inspired on beholding the coup on the present occasion. Mrs. Siam()); again reign ed the Prima Donna of the evening, and executed Haydn's beautiful song a With verdure clad," in a style not to be sur passed ; in her duet with SAPIO, too, she sung with that chaste ness of expression, in which she eminently excels. Miss Grout:l: made her first curtsey in a Bath Orchestra, and in a song from 'his and Galatea, acquitted herself in a manner that evinced she will ere long become as great a favourite in this station, as she is on the boards of the Theatre. SAPID was in fine voice, and in his Solos and Duets, proved how richly he de. serves the distinguished celebrity he has acquired. Master 'Sumo is perhaps one of the most delightful boy singers, that ever was heard ; he was vociferously encored in the Air from Artaxer.ees, " In 1,1 fancy," as well as in the Duet with Mrs. Salmon.

BARD. HOUSE OF LORDS. ROYAL ENTRANCE.—The extensive alterations in front of the House of Lords, and the building of a new Royal Entrance, have been frequently noticed ; but they have not been so minutely described as there is now the opportunity of doin:4, in consequence of the nearer completion of the works, and the removal of the scaffolding, fencing, &c. which took place yesterday.. The piazza that runs along the sitk of the House of Lords, round by the Peer's entrance, -and the door set apart for the Bishops, is well known, as passengers pro. ceeding through New Palace-yard to Abingdon -street, might heretofore pass under it. Beyond those two entrances is the King's door; and the line from the Peers' entrance to the King's door, forms the segment of the circle. Along that line the piazza is continued, without being increased in height Or width; and it may be remembered that the piazza is about seven feet in height, and five or six feet wide. The former piazza was partially inclosed, the openings forming wide door-ways, with Gothic arches. The continuation of the piazza, how. ever, from the Peers' to the King's door, is Inclosed, the arched-ways being closed to the height of window-sills, with stone-work., and above the glazed frame-work or windows. In the centre of the new line of piazza is a projecting porch, under which the Royal carriage is to pass, but at which station the King is to descend, stepping from the carriage into the inclosed Piazza. The front of this porch also has a window-way, but it is without glass, and in the line of piazza, on each side of the Royal porch, there are three Gothic windows not larger than small shop fronts. So that except to per sons who might chance to get close to those windows, even if it were not the custom to station soldiery and police along such points, his Majesty, while descending from the carriage, and af ter he has left it, proceeding along the piazza to the King's dour, and to ascend the staircase leading to- the }louse of Lords, will be invisible, except to the individuals immediately around his Majesty. When the King descends from the royal car riage, it has ever been the custom there to form the proces sion which conducts his Majesty thence through the old 'louse of Lords, the painted chamber, &c., to the royal robing room, and to have stationed on each side of the course along which such procession has to proceed a line of dismounted guards, with their carbines, &c. Certain Offieers of State have to precede the King, and on each side of his Majesty there walks a Peer of the Realm, who must also be an Officer of State.— Thus, in this narrow and confined closed piazza, besides the soldiery on each side of it, the King, with a Peer on his right as well as on his left hand, will have to proceed. There will thus be five persons within the width of the piazza, except the ancient mode of' procession be departed from, till the liing approaches the Royal staircase anti the old House of Lords, here there is considerably more room. lied the small porch.ways, which are now inclosed with win dows, been left open, in conformity with those •in the previ ously existing piazza, there would have been room• for the soldiery to be stationed in those several interstices, and the people assembled in PalaceXard might have seen his Majesty and the attendant Lords and Officers of Suite proceed in pro. cession into the House of Lords. There art charcoal fires with in the inclosed piazza, which is of so confined a description, that it will remind Many persons who have attended -the Royal Drawing.:rooms at Buckingham-palace of the. straitened en trance for the company at that place.—( Morning Paper.) REPEAL of .TIIE SALT TAx.—Sult, in conse quence of the abrogation of the tax, is now retailing at a penny a pound, and it will soon be considerably lower. The tall in the price of this necessary article has given no small satisfaction to the housekeepers, and will make it available for a variety of riew purposes. Its use in curing fish, in boiling potatoes, '44...e. will now be general ; and its importance as a condiment for live stock will no doubt lead to a great additional consumption. Sir (1. S.

The reduction of the Salt duty having taken place, the de mand for salt at Droitwich on Monday, was unprecedented • waggons, carts, and cars were pouring into that Dorougli all day on Sunday and Sunday night, in number about 300 ; the stables, barns, and sheds in and near Droitwich, were all filled with horses, anti a peat many were obliged to stand in the streets uncovered all night. The quantity of salt delivered and sent from Droitwich on Monday and Tuesday was about 21,000 bushels ; and, much to the credit of the Supervisor and Officers, they were at • the scales weighing all day, instead of taking the usual time for breakfast and dinner.
