It is very ,well known that the King of ENGLAND hits given his .word of • honour, that he will not give up any Of, his subjects, and that the brave inhabitants of the Duchy of Lauenberg have ileserved too well of the House of Hanover to be alienated. It is very well known that the Dukes or OLDENBURG and EUTIN have resolved never to exchange their territory, and that the cities of Iliamburgh and Lubeck cannot give up any Of their territories, and that the great Powers are too magnanimous to take from the small States for the purpose of enlarging the power of the great plies. " JAN. 7.—The conclusion of the Pcace between Great Britain and the United Sta4cs : has produced a change in the tone of the awes of Lord CASTLE REAGH. Up to.the 16th Decernbcir, they were not conceived in very energetic language. The courier who arrived this day from London, appears . have brought new instructions for Lord CASTLE= REAGH, who has since pressed more:decidedly. for • a termination of the Negociation.. People are anxious to know whether England will cootiunc, during the year 1815, to pay the Subsidies stipu lated.by the Treaty of Chaum brit ; it is supposed that she will not ; and if she 'does . nOt, the great Powers will be obliged ft) disband some of their immense armies which they keep on foot. BERLIN, JAN, 7. 7 —1 f the -King Of SAXONY is not absolutelYcousidered as a prisoner of State at Fredericksfeld, be is watched with the greatest care., It is aid that a correspondence has been discovered between that Prince and some persons of distinguished . rank. It was immediately after this_discovery that the Russian Prince GALLETZIN, who was -attached to the person of the King to keep him company, received an Order to go to WarsaW,whieh he did. M. DE MEDEM, the Prus aian Chamberlain, who was suspected of having . favoured this cOrrespondeMce, and who was afraid of being 'called to an account for it, threw himself into the Spree. and was drowned. His widow possesses nlarge fottune in Saxony, and is consi dered as very much attached to the Royal Family. Some individuals have been arrested, and the number of petsons abOut the King has been very .much increased. LEIPSICK, JAN. 9.—The Governor-General of the Kingdom of Saxony has issued an order that all fOreiguers arriving at Leipsick ahall at the latest, two hours after their arrival, de jiver into the General Office of the Polic.e, a statement of their Christian and sirname, their quality, their place of residence, the day of their' arrival, the cause of their residence there, and the period of their departure, and'they are to obtain from the police within 24 ho..;rs after their arrival, a card of residence. "On the 21st of January, the remains of Louts XVI. and ANTOINETT-Lr are to - be. deposited iu the, vault at St. Denis with great ceremony. , " ROME, JAN. 2.—Lord W. BENTINCK has been presented to the POPE by the Cardinal Se cretary of State, in the Galleries of the Vatican, where his Holiness met him. His Holiness corn plimented him, in a flattering manner -upon his EXpedition last year, and spoke in the highest terms of the PRINCE REGENT. Some notes were afterwards interchanged. between his Lordship, and the Secretary, with •the contents of which the PoPE appeared to' - he- much pleased. His Lordship _proceeds to Naples—there is reason to fear that we have gained nothing, and that the domains of the Church will remain with those who have occupied them illigitimately.

The sig nature_of the Treaty at Glick has robbed them of most of their interest, and they are.now chiefly 'retnarkable . for sheaving the true) straits to which the. Madison Party have been reduced both with regard. to their-War and Finance Measures. The succedaneum for payment of the . Govern ment securities is neither more nor less than an acknowledgement of bankruptcy, for boit -ever the Funds of the Firm .may turn out, it is evident that they - cannot fairly meet the just current demands of their creditors, to whom they therefore oxTer a composition. The Great National Bank has also been pared down to nothing, and Mr. M6NRoE's fine plan tor rais ing a regular Army of 100,000 men has been so modified, that even were the scheme to be put in force, it must prove very inefficient. From the corresporidencelaid7before Congress it appears that the American - Commissioners at Ghent were much mistaken in the object enter tained by our Ministers. They -iniagined that the British Government wished delay, but we can speak - with coni:lznce in asserti4g that delay a point the furthest - from its wishes'. the accounts from'Viertna bear us out in this assertion, and, when. the hour of disclosure comes, It will be ,seen ,how correct we were in announcing even o; the Satztr b day before, the 7 reaty was signed, that the Negocia tions.werebroken off; and the continuance of the War inevitable. The accuracy of the Second. Edition, of THE SUN in - Which this news appeared has been questioned by many of our fr:ends, who generally rely on the authenticity of our coni .municationsbut we . can assure them that (as will appear when the Correspondence is dished), we ,were strictly correct,' and that the alteration which immediately succeeded; and which we consider to be a master-stroke of Bri., tish diplomacy, was unforeseen within three . days of the signature of theTeace. What is said in the American Correspondence (25th October) respecting our views upon an.ac quisition of territory, ought to be a lesson to our patriotic Members of Parliament, Orators nt try Meetings, and Writers in the - Newspapers, how they strengthen the Cause of the Enemy by their timely exertions. The account of the dis- . gnstiug personalities in the Congress, too, may be worth the attention of some British Senators: Lord PALMERSTON, we have heard, will soon be elevated to the Imperial Peerage, and in that event will resign the impOrtant situation of Se cretary at War, a place which he has filled very distinguished TRIAL Or Sin J. MURRAY.—It Will he seen, by our Report, that the Evidence for the Prosecu tion closed on Saturday (the sixth day), and that the Court has adjourned to. Friday next, to afford time to•the Accused to prepare his Defence. WINDSOR, JAN. 22.—Friday Sir ITENRYJIAL- Foal) went out of waiting on the KING, Anil kft for London.

There was nothing new in the Ojiera of Satur day—the music as heavy 7 -the performances as dull—the whole as tiresome as on the first night. Even the faults we have noticed were' perpetuated as it it had been resolved to change nothing. M r . GENT seems to he above criticism, yet it would not have been amiss had he profited by the hint we gave him respecting the mode in which he re tards the time. The absurdity and inconvenience of this drawl were particularly observable in a dtiet with SESSI, which would have made an Irishman. exclaim " By St. Patrick there they go together, the one after the other." The score demanded that these notes should have been sting in exact time, and the fault was not . aitributable to want of science in the Lady An old Performer was, however, restored to the Public, viz. the Green Curtain.
