'tft-ENc:i4 Y'AP4?ft's• DtzcirvEb -ears itcININGI VIEN iTA', DEC. 13.—They talk of a 'eery ener• getic note, presented to the Congress by Prince Metternich, in reply tothat of the King of Wir teinUerg. Bavereign appears Very ditoon tented with the measures that have been penned, thOse which relate to Germany.. — . There is, therefore, a continual -interchange or notts between Austria and Prussia; on the one tind; and irtritteMberg on the other. The 'notes fret Ween Prussia and Bavaria are also very fre ituent. A new cause of :the delay of the Con gress is said to be some very delicate and unfore seen questions which have arisen respecting Bel, glom, Italy, Naples, and - other countries. The English Minister acelated be wanted to consult his Court, .and this of course occasioned great delay. Thirty Ministers have presented requests to the Congress, that Constitutional Estates may be established, in the different sovereignties of Ger many. Several Princes have objected to this measure, conceiving that it would tend to djmi bish,their prerogatives, bat - it appears that the principle is now very generally adopted. The ding of lavaria, and the Grand Duke of Baden have appointed Commissioners charged with the organization of their estates, Prussia and Hanover have theirs, and the King of 'Mr : - temberg win certainly follow the example. The Estates arc to be composed -in such a nianner as to enable the Ministers to defend the interests confided to then!, - without trenching upon the sacred rights of Sovereigns. We are assured, that the Russian forces that bave advanced to the Turkish frontiers under Ge neral Ilenigsen, amount to 120,000 men. The Princes and Counts of the German Em pire who are not represented at Congress, have presented a Note, praying that their interests may not be compromisekwithont their being heard. it is confidently said that the business of Con gress is advancing,'but nothing has yet been pub lished relative to their proceedings. PARIS, DEC. 23.—Letters from. Madrid state that England has demanded from Spain Mahon Ara Ceuta. Cammade de Castres has been charged by . the King tO carry to the Prince Regent of England the (Mer of the Holy Ghost. By an Ordonance of the 16th inst. his Majesty bas ordered that a regiment of infantry should be formed to be called the Foreign Colonial Regi ment, in which the Spaniards and Portuguese that are in the pay of France, and who are fit for set vice, ate to be employed. • LOWER ELEE, DEC. 9.—An unfortunate occur -rence took place at Hamburgh on the sth, when the tianseatie legion was assembled to be present •ed to their Officers. Some of the men refustd to swear to obey their ()Meets, because they had not served a campaign. Themutincers drew their sabres, and were about to proceed to acts of vio lence, but the remonstrance of the Commanding Officers, and the threats of calling in the Russian troops, brought them to reason: Several of the ringleaders are in confinement. lhaLtN, Dec. 13. 7 -It is certain that not more 'than four battalions of Swedish troops will remain in Norway. , FRONTIERS OF SAXONY, DEC..l3.—The King of &ixonv has not quitted the Palace of Fredericks feld,. but his jouruey into Prussia is still talked of. The. Prussian AuthOrities in Saxony take great pains to contradict the report of the restoration of the King of Saxony to his rights but, it is still believed that Saxony will .not be united to Prussia. AUGSBURG, DEC. 16. —A public paper an nounces that the King of Spain has again de manded of the Pope the exclusion of the Prince of the Peace from the Ecclesiastical States ; but that:King Charles IV: continues to claim the pro tection of the Holy See for his old Minister, Ferdinand has positively refused to assist leis fa mily in any way until it shall cease to take any interest on behalf of Don Manuel. King Charles, therefore, is reduced to the necessity 41iving on the generosity of. the Court of Rotne.--(Universal Gazette.) According to the Cassel Gazette, the Principality of Minden and th:.

A few days must dedide. Th A6li.. vitv of the Congress become greater every day ; the whole begins now to be properly a diplomatic process. The Princess and Counts have added to their energetic Remonstrance of the 16th, an equally energetic Note, which they have pre sented. 'Not a word certain about the departure of the Sovereigns. The Congress, as this INiote shews, will be either protracted or terminated all at once by the publication of Mnifestos. The Powers are agreed about Poland, Saxony, Belgium, and the left bank ,of the Rhine, but England's approbation of what has been resolved is still wanting. Of all, the principal Powers at tlie Congress; Lord Castlereagh is the only Am ,' bissador whose Sovereign is not present, and who , is consequently obliged to, obtain from n distance the approbation of his proceedings.. 'Every body conceives, that as the various publications_ are thereby delayed, which Were promised in the mid - die of this month, it easily happened that the public inferred more unpleasant reasons, and went in their conjectures still further. NsrLEs, Nov, 28.—Our Moniteur of the Two Sicilies contradicts officially the articles in the Journal des Debats, of the sth Noveniber, assert - ing, that the Neapolitan troops had occupied Pcsaro,'and placed a guard before the house of the Prince of Peace, and that General Luche was advancing from AnconalowardsPescaro, where be would join Gen. Carrascosy, and advance to the frontiers of the Kingdom of Italy. All this h false, there are no Neapolitan troops in Urbino, or Pesaro; Gen. Luche's division, which was as sewbled only to be exercised near Naples; is dis banded ; all our troops in the provinces are gone into cantonments. Those near the capital ,are often reviewed by the King. • It is inconceivable what could be the intention of the calumnious adthors of these articles ! Do they not know that these Provinces are occupied by the Austrian troops, and that the strictest alp. - liance connects the policy and the interest of the Court of Naples 'with those of the Court of Vienna ? The Neapolitan army will not pass the frontiers occupied by it unless Austria should re quire the contingent which, by the treaty of alli* ante, the King is_bound to ftirnich in ease of a war in Italy, an event of which there is not at this moment the least probability. The Princess of Wales is still here ; it is not known whither she will go next ; sonic say that she will visit Pa hernia and Messina, others that she will- go to 1 Corfu, . FLORENCE, DEC. s.—Lord Burgbersh, eldest son of Lord Westmoreland, is at last arrived here, and bad yesterday the honour to present his cre dentials to his Royal Highness,, as British Mi nister at our Court.—(Frankfort Post•Ofice Ga zette, Dec.l9.) At the last fair, a young Englishman bought ail the political caricatures that have lately ap peared in Germany. Among them was ono epre seating Buonaparte as an Eagle in a great Cage ; a Prussian ? a Russian, an Austrian, an English man, and a Swede, arc standing round him, plucking out his feathers. It happened that the Englishman was represented pulling him by tho tail. This patriotic countryman no sooner ob served this, than he exclaimed, full of indigna " The print lies—the Englishman does not take the Eagle by the tail, but always by the head." • On this he purchased the whole stock, and tore the prints into a thousand pieces.--(Cor . respondent of and for Germany, Dec. 16.) tiou, . . . „ . .. .. ny_r tip, tine plan o . f . a • Gert'r:“Nn C, ,, rlsti(loion, (,!'

Though so.little is yet known of the reswlts of the CongresS, yet enough hasitranspired to inform the obServant politician of the views and leanings of the Great Powers, on the various questions which have undergone anxious though friendly discussion. Accordingly, it may be said, that of the four great Allied Powers, Russia and Priissia ' , lye generally acted together on one side, and Austria and England On the other. In the great questions respecting Poland and Saxony, France has also substantially accorded with Englaild and Austria ; but there are other points of- discus- .-. sion on which the . views and interests of France by no means coincide with thoseof Austria and England. The prudent conduct. and pacific system of Louis XVIII. will be found to have increased rether than- diminished the influence of France. However, though not only France, but Spain, Portugal, and Sweden, •as being parties to the peace of Paris, must necessarily take part in the Congress, still it is undeniable that the four At lied Powers, Austria and England, Russia and Prussia, occupy the most important part. Among the German Powers, Bavaria connects herself with Austria, and Wurtemberg on the other hand with Russia.

LONDON, 7`tTESDAY,'D;ECr..II-11ER 27, 1814. At too late an hour yesterday afternoon to be inserted in the early portion of ottr impression, Mr. BAKER arrived with intelligence that a Treaty of Peace was signed at Ghent on Saturday last s the 24th instant, between the British and Ame rican Plenipotentiaries. For this news, we confess, we were very little prepared, for the Private Accounts from the seat of Negociation so late. as the preceding Saturday certainly wore a very different, aspect. The. anxiety of sters, however, to overcome that which they found to be one of the 'greatest . drawbacks - Upon our Continental influence; has it seems prevailed over every obstacle, and this agreement has been signed in the spirit and according to the•tenot of the following letter, sent to the Loan liAvof about four o'clock yesterday afternoon " FOREIGN OFFICE; DI:C.

From this it. appears,' that though called a Treaty of Peace, the arrangement made has all the character of a Preliminary Treaty, as hostili ties do not i►►mmediately cease, but are to be car ried on till Mr. M,iolsoi.l ratifies the document signed by his Commissioners. The following are also said to be the principal points embraced by the Treaty : The Americans are understood to have waved any stipulation on the subject of Maritime Rights, as well as respecting compensation for captures under the Orders in Council, or on any other account. " The interests of the Indians, Allies to Great Britain in the war, are provided for by It stipula tion that they are to be restored to all their pos sessions, rights, and privilege, which they en joyed, or to which they were entitled, antecedent to the year 1812. " All the disputed-que3tions of territory are to be referred to Commissioners, to .be respectively appointed under the conditions named in ,the Treaty; and until the differences respecting them are decided, the islands in the- Bay of Passama quoddy are to remain in the posSession of Great Britain.
