HAARLEM, FEB. 23.—Au express arrived yes terday evening at the Hague, who left Vienna on the 15th inst. and brings the agreeable and au thentic intelligence, that the great interests op which the Congress has been employed, are now settled to the general satisfaction. The several resolutions are not yet. known, but the fate of °fir Country,, which concerns, us t+te most, is, that all the Belgian Provinces, such as they were formerly under - the dominion of the House of ustria, the Bishopric of Liege; and the Belgian districts -(enclavis) of Huissen and Zevenear come unde'r the dominion of our august Prince, the Prince Sovereign.—He will also govern Luxemberg; but with the exception of a few districts as a se pa'rate Duchy. According to the decision of the high Allies the aboVe-mentioned countries, with those which composed our State up to the year 1735, will form, united under the same _sceptre, the nen; illohorchy or the Netherlands. All th 6 above- mentioned Countries, including the Duchy of Luxemburge"Con'tairr, according to the statements published' under the French Go vernment, a population of above five millions three hundred thousand inhabitants.

As I hive already stated, Lord Castlereagh will set out from hence on the 15th. " The indisposition of Lord (the Duke of) Wellirgton, caused by the fatigues of his jour ney, has heel-) slight. lie has already as4isted several conferences," It was thought that the Official Gazette of ves •terday, or this day, would have published some of the great operations of the Congress ; but it con tinues to maintain the strictest silence. The pub lic debt °I Saxony will he divided into two equal portions ; one will remain chargeable to• Saxony, the other will be defrayed by Prussia. In inviting. the King of Saxony to repait to Vienna, or to some place in - the neighbourhood c'f the Congress, to ratify the arrangements made by tae great Powers, it has - hcen signified to that monarch, that he can - make no 4iteration in the Treaty. The decision is without appeal. They have tlt.partcd from the principle, that this Prince h av i ng been takewwith arms in his hands,' al though - to the last moment the Allies made to him all iniuginable propositions • to save him from 'ruin ; his country could, therefore, only be con sidered as a conquest made by the combined armies. The Allies were masters of it, and it was for them to decide whether they would re store it wholly or in part, or whether they should assign . to another. Lord' Wellington is still indisposed, and does not quit his rooms. The Ministers of all States whose territories are :aituate along the Rhine, met on the 12th, at the re:4;l,l:e 611 navigation of the Rhine. VIENNA, FEB, 13.—The fixing of the litn'ts of Poland has b e en determined upon in the mAriller already stated, except that the circle of Zama' ve• in East Gallitzia, is to remain With the Duchy of Waysaw, and th.it the city of - Thorn, wbich will not he a free city, like Cracow, is to belong to Prussia. Except the Duchv Of Warsaw, the por tions which will pass under the dominion of It's sia, Austria, and Prussia, will have a free Constt-, tution, founded on a representative system. PARIS, FEB. 23.—An English Courier arrived on the 18th at Cat 'smile. ant: ordered post-horses for Lord Castlereagh, who would pass through in the course of the night. The Spaniards who are in Fyance believe that the amnesty which the King of Spain proposes to grant to his subjects will not be granted till the celebration of the marriage of the Princes with the Princesses of the Royal Family of Por tugal. .

" Curk, &L. 25.—Rcporier- Office, Three o' Cluck , " We have just received the following letter by a vessel which has arrived at Cove : it is from an Officer on board the vessel from which it is dated. " II.M. S. Ceylon, off St. Mary's, East Florida, Jan, 18, 1815. " We have just hoarded a brig .going to Cork, and I embrace the opportunity of informing- you that we are off here with Admiral' COCKEURN's siquaciron. Three days ago we landed a force of about 500 men, and next morning attacked and took St. Mary's, with hardly any opposition. " I expect we shall be very successful tit► this coast. The Achnirt4 threatens to attack 'New- York." Having copied the above from an Irish Paper, xve shail endeavour -(ruin our own sources of in formation, to furnish- ow- Readers with a correct idea cif the, operations carrying on in this quarter, upon which a very considerable degree of con fusion prevails. in the first instance it may he right to prevent.misappr'ebension, by observing, that the' New 'uric here fn'e n ;jolted , is' an Indian town of the Creek Nations, on the Tallapoose River in Georgia, and not as might erroneously be supposed the 'Capital of the State' of the same name. - It appears, then, that the Expeclitio'n under Admiral Cockburn and (we believe) General Ber tie,-is .engaged in the Gulpli of Florida, on th e Atlantic side of the State of East Florida, at the eastern base of that Peninsula, where it is joined to_Georgia: The gfeat Expedition tinder Admiral Cochrane and General Palcenlzanz is in the centre of the Gulp!) . of Mexico, operating 'upon the western limits of West Florida and on Louisiana, the-mighty Mississippi dividing these territories. Again, the third expedition (the first in point of action), under Colonel Nichol, was engaged on a part of the coast almost between the othenforces, viz. on the western base of the Peninsula of East Florida, and opposite to Admiral Cockburn. A glance at the map will at once spew the rela tive situation of our several corps, which it will be seen are acting simultaneously along the whole coast from the Savannah, in the Atlantic, round Cape Florida, to New Orleans in the Mexican Gulph. Welave great pleasure in availing ourselves of this opportunity to afford some authentic informa tion respecting the earlier operations, and the general state of - affair, for which we are indebted to an Officer of the highest rank employed upon this service. it appears that the Americans had been very quiet after the small advantage theyshad gained at Mobile, some few men only having ,been killed on each side of the foraging parties. The Indians are described as most resolute de termined fellows, whilst the Spanish soldiers are represented as the most indolent and inactive. The Seahorse frigate .arrived carly in November, with a seasonable supply of costly presents for the Indians, which, in a great measure, con tributed to hasten the conclusion of two trea- C7's prnce ‘VitL CLIC Cie!•1( C ,:tribes, so that in the course of a few weeks it was supposed the British army would be, joined by nearly 5000 warriors front the different na tions—with this force it was confidently expected,' not only that New Orleans must • fall, but that .Louisiana and the Two Floridas would' be com pletely cleared of the Yankies. On the embarka tion .of the British and Indian forces at Pensa cola, the rear was attacked by a detachment of the Amer 7 can cavalry, sent in advance by. Ge netal JACKSON, who had under his command 3500, but they were instantly repulsed, and the embarkation proceeded without any farther molestation, and the place given up to the enemy, having first destroyed all the gunpoWder and other stores which were in Pensacola. The armament with the British forces from Pensacola proceeded for the Bluff at - Apalachicola, where it was intended they should remain for some time to recover the sick and to bu:ld a strong fort, and to receive reinforcements. Reports of the taking of New Orleans continue to prevail, but there have been no recent arrivals, and Government have no dispatches to that effect, as hal been rumoured without authority.—We stated in the first instance that the event was so probable as almost to be certain—and hence these speculations. By a Dutch Mail arrived this morning, we are put in possession of the decision of Congress on the limits of the New Kingdom of the Nether lands„.the cessions to which are therein specified, and the population estimated at 5,300,000 souls. In another part of our Impression be found a similar article from Berlin, relative to the acquirements of Prussia, and we are inclined to believe that both are nearly as accu rate as can be ascertained previous to the publi cation of official documents. It will,be seen that they cannot be entirely so, as they clash with each other on the subject of Luxemburg!), and several minor places. The French Papers confirm our statement of yesterday, that nothing official had appeared at Vienna up to the 13th. The Corn question was again agitated last night, and a number of the Representatives of Ireland spoke in favour of the Resolutions. We believe we need not look for the name of one - Member from that conntry,among the dissentients. They are, viirabile dictit, unanimous. There were se veral divisions : the first on the bringing up of the Report Ayes Noes 235 38 Majority 197 The second on the question of adjournment, which Mr. BARING moved as an amendment to.the motion " That the Report be now read" : For the Adjou'rnunt Against it - 212 Majority.. The Original question was then put — For reaAitg, the Report Against • Majority 164 The question uuderstand, be debated again this day, upon tliv . motion for agreeing the Morning Paper an intad Verts rather unfoundedly upon our remarks of yesterdaytespecting the tone in whiCh it has discussed the Coin. Question. We have not space at present to meet its arguments, but content ourselves with denying that we '' in sinuateA" any al ing.We quoted the language which We reprehended, and think grossly.reprehen sible. The world will judge between us which is right and which wrong : in the mean tirne we coincide too nearly in the Writer's opinions on this sub ject to have any fault to find with hiS reasoning, beyond the ill-considered tendency of its manner to unhinge the state of society, and produce a terrible explosion in these realms.
