Such, we presume, the history of ANTONIO DI RAVENNI-the man of stra%% . , so lavish of his aspersions upon the British Nation. rent y o Or the Traitors of Italy—of their representa ,tives * here to instruct the Talents in Parliament 'what' chargeslto bring against the Government, or see !hide their calumnies for the press—of the writer Ivb ° is hired by them to do these things into E ?glish, we shall not trouble ourselves to speak ; bk . %re must tell the Morning Chronicle that the zealou s and sordid devotion of its pages to their lucubrations is a scandalou,s thing in a Patriotic NewspiTer ! 1 ;With regard to the trhnsmission of BUONArAnTE t o Scotland, we do not think our Northern friends uould thank the Congress for any such decision. The EDINBURGH REVIEWERS, indeed, would. be rejoiced, to see their old friend, and pay, their re 'Pects to the Master they have so long and faith ful! .y served ; hut the great mass of the Scotch Peopl e are a well-informed, • and consequently a loyal and a moral race, and they would not be Pleased to see resident among.them that Monster wbos_e infamy is as indescribable as his career has been bloody. :Should . he, however, settle in the North, we would recommend' the late I\i/SS ROBERTSON'S Estate of Pliaseally for his Domicile. The French Papers to the 15th axe almost kirren ; we have, however, selected two or three paragraphs from them. The multitude and variety of speculations which Yeaegi us .from every. quarter of the Continent weuld be enough to puzzle the keenest political sagacity did *w e not observe that they invariably predict, and even announce; _matters precisely in the way most conformable to the interests, and expectations of the Powers under Whose infinence the writers and their Journals may be supposed to be placed. Thus the Paris Pa pers invariably state, .that neither Sitxony, nor any part of it, will be ceded -to Prussia, While the Prussian Journals as confidently - proclaim the reverse: .the Belgian Press dwells with compla cency on the union with Holland; while the French Press describes it as unpalateable and in congruous : the publications within the sphere of Russian politics are filled with the anticipated hap piness of Poland protected by the -great Northern Empire ; many German and English Journals overflow with invective against the junction of Po land with Russia. Thus -upon all topics we have the hot and cold, the moist-and dry, the pro and eon, for every 'palate. For ourselves, in the midst -of these conflicting oiiinions, we bold fast by the belief we have expressed from the hour that the COngress was opened, —We are persuaded that Po land with sOme immaterial arrangements in territory will pass, it not under the sceptre, at least under the eontroul of ALEXA'NPER that FREDERICK will have indemnities in ,Saxony, which, if they do mit go the length of entirely uniting- that country with Prussia will reduce'it to insignificance in the Ger !wan scale ; that Austria will be strengthened not only in Northern Italy, but in all die territories 'which command the. communications' between these Countries. privat e accounts received yesterday from Hull fax 11l sixteen claYsi' state the arrival of advices at Washington from the Commissioners at Ghent, 41D11011D* that the Negociations had taken a fa t., Nourable turn that the bases of the Treaty were 1 2 :greed an, and that in consequence of this intel ligence there were the greatest demonstrations of - joy -every where, and. the Americans were anxi ously expecting the arrival of a vessel with the -Treaty. The Duke of BlityrrswicK is on a visit to the bake of CAMBRIDGE, at Hanover. WINDSOR, JAN. 17.-7-Sunday Dr. BAILLTE went out of Waiting on the KING, and left Windsor for Loudon.—The same day her Royal Highness the Princess CHARLOTTE dined with the QUEEN cud PRINCESSES. A Morning Paper 'says, " An order has, We hlear, been issued by the Court of France to ad ink the English in undress. The cause ascribed fo; this inroad 'llion established etirpiette, is re- Ported to be, the appearance a certain great Personage before his 'Majesty Louis XIV. in a fro c k an d boots, from tillich it is ii?ferred that Ib is' is the Court costume of St. Jamea!s or Carl ton-house.- r he garrison of Dresden consists of troops of the Russiah German Legion, which is now in the P a Y of Prussia. Their conduct gives grcilt ROUEN. We copy the following-with pleasure from a Morning Paper,—for it is an act of justice ; and with pain,—for it contains what we belit.tve to be too truly a correct representation, not only of the affair at Ronen, but of the too general miscon duct of persons whose impertinence and brutality are calculated to bring disgrace (however unthe;-. rited) upon their Country. The letter from . Ronen, describing an insult to the British in that place, is thus contradicted ; and if The partieS'who made the complaint to a Gentleman of high re spectability in London, are injured by 'it, our columns shall be gladly opened to their refutation and the vindication of British Chara.ter " The mate of an English trading --vessel, and some of his vulgar companions,- in a state of ine briety,lattended the Cathedral (luring the solemn celebration of mass, and .indulged••in the most. offensive and profane mockery of their religious rite, at which some of the people, as might be expected, were scandalized, and insisted on their withdrawing. An emigrant of the name of LE Coa, who had been i n E ng l an d a l ong time, became clamarous for a ritig, and fifir. play, as he called it, that they might tight it, out. In this scuffle La Coo. himself, very justly, received a little chastisement from his 0,1 1 . 81;12 d countrymen. We state this on the authority of. two Gentlemen of rank who arrived in town yes terday from Rouen, and who inform us that the character of England has suffered -much from - the very improper conduct of some low and profligate persons; who have made their way to the Conti nent, and have been guilty of impositious and ex cesses of every kind. ‘` The Gentlemen add, that so far from there being any utdisposition• manifested towards the English iu Rotten, nothing can surpass the, atten tion and- politenest which .are shewu to all those who conduct themselves with decorum. Indeed in no part of France is•there more lively semi ment of regard for England than in Normandy, the character and habits of the people assimilating more to the English than those of any other part of France. • " It is truly mortifying to hear of the low and, 'vulgar ridicnle which our illiterate and prejudiced travellers throw on 'every thing which, by being new to them, they affect to despise ; and it may easily be conceived, that their insolence and ill manners must at times excite disgust. It is only, however, when they scoff at -the most solemn ceremonies of religion, that they have provoked the indignation, even of the populace." ORDER OF THE BATH. It was at first i►►tended that - the Military Of ficerS who had obtained medals - and clasps ftvr their services, and who arc included in the new creation of Knights of the Bath, -should give- up those badges to be deposited in the archives of the Order ; but this surrender of those testimo nies of bravery and-merit being very generally re monstrated-against; it is dispensed with by the following Circular : Horse-Guards, fan. 9, 1815. SIK,—On reference to the Commander-in-Chiet's Letter of the 3d instant, I am directed by his Royal Highness to ac qnaint you, that it has boen consi'dered,that altly.ugh you are not. to ttse the menal and clasps conferred upon you for vain- gal lant conduct, after you shall have been invested with the de coration of the Bath, it may still be gratifying to,you to pre . - serve in your family those fionourahle badges of your.distin guished merit; and, therefore, you will not be called noon to return the said medal and claSps.—l have the honour to To (Signed) H. 'I'OI{ItENS. • The chief M em b ers ' o f th e College of Arths, includin g " Kings, Heralds, and Parsuivants,' have sent a circular to the new made Knights of the Bath, remonstrating, against the infraction of the rights and prerogatives of the College, in the pretension announced in the circulars to•the said Knights, signed George Nayler, York Herald, Genealogist of the Bath, and William Wonds, Secretary to the Knights Commanders and Coarpanions.—lt appears, after 'all, to be quite. discre tionary in the K%ights, whether. they avail themselves of the Officers of the Ordur, or submit to the claims of the College. • Yesterday a Chapter of the. Order of the Bath , was held at two o'clock, at the Prince's Chamber, :Westminster, at which were present = His Royal Highness the Duke of York, as Grand Master; Dr. Vincent, Dean of Weslminster, Dean of the Order; the Right Hon. Sir David Dultdas,SirGeorge H. Barlow, and Sir •Itivhard Strachan ; the Genealogist, Sir George Nityler, the Deputy Bath King of Arms, Francis Townsend, •Esqrs. the Gentlemen ushers of the Scarlet Rod ; G. F. Bultz, Esq. all in their Robes. The 'obit - et of tire -Meeting being. merely a com munication to the Chapter of the measures which had been •adopted for the degradation of Lord COCIIRANE, and the expulsion-of .his Banner and Achievements• from -King Henry the 6eventh's Chapel. The Chapter adjourned soon after-three o•chick. Eirly yesterday.niorning the :Duke of YORK. arrived in town from Brighton, for the pur pose of attending this Chapter, ROYAL HiGuNEss also held a Levee - at his Office, in the Horse Guards. - The following anecdote is characteristic of the good nature of the King of HaArARIA Ma jesty had purchased a picture of YANDYk,E'S,: for which he paid 600 ducats. Some days after, the picture-dealer said that if the other - SoVereigns had seen it, they would certainly/have given him more. The King ofil.lavAßtA, informed of this, slimed the picture to the EmperOr ALEXANDER when he was one day visited by that Monarch, and asked him what he valued it at, and 'what he would give for it. The I:imperor having offered 1000 ducats, the King accepted the money, and - gave him the pic ture ; but he sent 400 ducats to the dealer." The gallant General ItiaLE, who was severely wounded and taken prisoner by the Americans, arrivcd last week is a cartel at Rochelle.

THE IIALIAN OPERA. We have already noticed the mediocrity of the Serums Opera produced at this House, and last night shewed_us, - that however deficient in bril liancy it is in. that department, it is still 'more miserably defeetive in the Comique. 'La Damn Soldatu, ctisplayed Madame - FERLENDIS al the Prima Bulfa: this Dame neither sings in tune, - nor has a ' good voice to sing withal, and therefore, though the Gallery may clap, it is impossible to convince the judicious that, she deserves applause. LA VASSEDIt exhibited a few better notes than any we have before heard from him, 'and deserves much praise for being perfect in a long character. - The only novelty, however, worthy of notice in the Opera was the re-appear ance of AIoaELLI, after many years absence. He till retains his dry humour as an Actor, but as he had no song we are not able to say how tar time nay have impaired his voice. All he did yes terday only told us, to our regret, that NALDI, in comparable as he is for musical science and comic humour, has been also -banished, by the new ma nagelnent,, from a stage of which he was one of the Chief orimenelits. • The senior VESTRIS appeared in - the Ballet of Le Calife de Bag dot, and 'produced a great sensa -tion in the - audience, which gave -him a very flat tering testimony of their remeathrance of his .me rits twenty years ago: His performance was al most as great as in his hest days ; we cannot pay him a higher compliment. - His partner was a debutante, Madame DE CARD. She is an -in different figure, but possess some grace, and mach agility, and may take her station. in the se cond class. From the inferiority of the Opera this season, we.imagiue the success of the Thett—, tre a iii be perinitted to rest on the Dancing De partment. - The claims, •remonstrances, and pretensions, the misunderstandings and disputes, arising . out of the recent enlargement of an ancient military Association of Knighthood are so numerous., tlkat instead of the order, as formerly, it is now face tiously dis-order of the Bath. Mrs. PERCEVAL, by her marriage with Colonel CARR, has actually become a Knight's companion. of the new Order. The Duke• of BUCCLEUGH is elected President of the Highland, or Scotch Agricultural Soekty the Vice l'residen►ts I'm- the ens►►ing year are the MarqUis•of QUEENS n Ry , Earl WEMYSS, Lord DOUGLAS, and Lord MAcnoNALD.. Ten pieces of silver coin, of the reign of ELT ZABETH and CrIAVLES the Pint, were found; a - few days ago, by the sexton ,of Havant, near Portsmouth, while digging a grave in the church yard,; t h ose of E itz ABETH are in the best re servatitin ; they are about the size of a sixpenny piece, hut thinner. The,Duke of DALmATIA, Minister at War, bav iug been informed of a tumult which took place on the 6th of December, at Lectoure, department of Gep3 ; on the occasion of a general review of deserters and soldiers on furlough, has just or dered that the district of Lectoure shall furnish double the contingent whiub was assigned to it. This increase will, at the same time, tend to relieve the other districts which acted . with docility and promptitude in executing the, orders of the King. NAVAL NEWS.
