VIENNA, .TUNE Mlla has been said, even lately, of the hostile dispositions of our Court : in the absence 'of material proofs of this important fan, the partisans of the War have found in there- LitiOns, always mysterious, of, the Cabinets' of the several Powers, a support for their. conjectures, and have imagined recalls and returns of Ministers,, which must necessarily suppose an approaching War. It is certain, however, that, to the present in°. went, neither the diplomatic relations of our Court with the other Powers, or the foreign dispositions which have been supposed or interpreted for it, will in any manner . indicate that hostilities must _soon be renewed. Even lately the military stores which were in the Fortress of Brannan have been sold to the highes'..bidder : one . of the Continental Powers, which had the greatest interests to discuss with our Cabinet, Prussia, is pettedly agreed with it. The great business of the Indemnities, which might have so easily given rise-to misunderstand ing, is amicably treated between the two first Powers of Germany ; and M. PrQuor, Secretary to the'PrUssian Legation, is to set out it a few days for Berliif, .charged to communicate to his Court a Proposition which is to be made, we are told, to the. French Government, and upon the sUbjea of which our Cabinet feels no anxiety, that it will not have the consent 'of Prussia. M. de MURAtIItIER, So.lollg,CXpeaeti, has already had his first audience of His Majesty the ENtrEROII at Het ziodorf: The expedition which the Emperor ALEXANDER has used to send dispatches to his Ambassador, when he was still on his, journey, is considered here.as a proof that this young Prince is not less ready to - answer the wishes of our Court, than it has been to communicate them to him.

Upon which the 'Went away, and the Plain tiff took her in, and provided her with necessaries, and it was stated, that he gave her wine rind caused her to be put into a Warm. Bath, &c. A-Nurse said, she had two guineas for attending her. 'She gave it as her opinion, that two• guineas a week would be 'a reasonable allowance for the Plaintiff - .The Plain tiff is a Journeyman 'Taylor, as is the Defendant: Lord KENYON observed, that this demand upon the Defendant was an extraordinary one, it had been laid dawn by my Loid Who only said. that which had been the Law, ever since this .

He is bound to help her in a manner adequate to her Wants if he is able, -but - if he is not,to; she must resort to the hUmanity of the Public, the' gene; rosity of which was manifested" by the ntiniber of Hospitals, Public Buildings, and Subscriptions of . various kinds, for the alleviation of human Misery, that were supplied continually in this Country,_and which exceeded that of any other Age Country 'hitherto. known to this Wnrld. To some Of these sources of relief, a Wife, whose HUsband could not support her, as in this Case, :Most resort. His Lordship said this, under the idea that the Wife ; ., in this ease ; had not mikondueted beraelf in such a manner AS to have forfeited her right to the protee's tion of her Husband ; for there might be a species of misconduCt which did ndt create such forfeiture; There was another species of rniscondUa Which would create it.

Its then appeared in evidence, that" the Defendant's wife had been long addicted to drinking, taking, glasies.Of brandy in the, tnorning in bed : that she had,pawned.almost everything he had in the world, ran him in debt, and also committed adultery, and lived with another person; ,and said, " sh'e would never return to her husband:" That' she 'said to one Witness, " that she Went alit Of the befendant'S house of her own acord." It appeared also; that the Defendant's wife had been separated from hint before, and that on atedmit cz most shalneful Miss cOndud .that she had been taken in at the Magda len; but diSchated on its being, discovered that" she Was not •a fit ObiCa of that Charity :- . --that in con sideration of: her' apparent Contrition, and faithful pibmise tei behave well in future; her htisband took her back agaiis, - bat she returned to her old Pradices, and Made it impossible for file befendant 40 live any longer With her; They, therefore Separated; and the Defendant cautioned all : whO 'knew' het f.tan trusting her on his account; by Advettisenient: It was contender?, On the:pair of thz.i that whatever might have been the Miseondtia o'r' this unhappy woman (and it was admitted that no.. thing could be worsefryet . his taking her back again; ptit an end to all kis objedions tb-her t4rner. part of life, and that he mast be as much account_ able for necessaries prdvided :for her; as if . he had had no previous complaint against her:.
