Quis ~mcrtE yAL,cm Avra;Al ? LONDON, JANUARY 29; zBoz. `ye'sterday announted from authority, that Tits IVIAltsTi would go down to the House of Peers this day, to state the causes of calling Par. liamentstogether. Subsequently to. Our Paper having been, put to Press, a new arrangement was made, and' 1-its . MAJESTY Clots not go aown tQ the }louse till Monday next.—About 370.Mem.., bets of the House of Commons have been sworn in. It'is supposed that the report of His M. JUSiVsSpecch being to be deferred, has induced many IVlembecs to delay taking the Oaths. Private Letters, the authenticity of which is undoubted, received by the Hamburgh that arrived yesterday, brought intelligence of great importance, which throws still Sarther light on the charader of the Emperor PAUL. cle . has dismissed from Prter4burgh the Danish Envoy, M. nE ROSSNCRANTZ. There are various causes assigned ftir 'this proceeding on the 'part of the Emperor . Pkur. : —Several Letters which we have been state, that he was• ordered to depart the Russian Capital, in corise_ quence of his refusing to ratify. some of the Artie Iles of the Convention which has been entered into against this Country ; others state, that he had' circulated, the report that the. Emperor had in conversation stated, what' has since appeared in the Pererdurgb.G4zeite,,respeeting his chat_ lenging the other Sovereigns of Europe ; and the Emperor; to chew lie was not ashamed of what he had saki, published it in the Gazette, with the Danish Minister's-. Remark, and then dis missed him his Court. It is' at events cer tain, that he has 'been sent away.; and no ex planation, which we have seen, appears to us to do away the supposition, which kconfirtned, not only by this, but by some extravagatit a corn, mittea almost every day. Whatever may he the truth of the case, thi.; measure, at a imminent when the Emperor seeks -to draw Denmeirk into a career as dangerous to it as a War with us would be, shews'a degree of inconstancy and of caprice, not much 'calculated to cement the con ocEtions which he has been endeavouring to form. We can add. nothing 'to what we stated on Tuesday, respeding the dispositions of the Courts of Copenhagen anti Stockholm; and we believe that no Dispatch was yesterday. received from either of them: It will not be long before we shall have something more to communicate to the. Public on this interesting subjeta. We were informed by the Muil, of one event • which, three months ago, would have been of great importance,' and might have'placed Europe in a very different situatiOn, from that in which the short Campaign concluded. in' Germany a month ago has left it. The ARCHDUKE CHARLFs has been appointed Imperial. and Royal Field- Marshal, and Presidentof the Aulic Council War. The full, and absolute disposition of all the Military Forces remaining 'to the Hotise of Austria, is" henceforth therefore in the power of •that young. Prince, We must deylore, in' corn.' mon with many others, that studs a ITICSSUre should not have been' adopted until it was be. come useless. It may, not, however, be alto gether sa Witha, view so futurity : that Prince may se..e;tablish the spirit, the diseipline, and the general by stem of the. Army, ' shaken by so many tieleat . s, and still more by the causes which have produced . them. Ile may bring back to. his standards a great number of ; good Officers, who still, more unhappily for their Sp.. - vereign than for themselves, have been driven front them. Ile may, in a 'word, put the. narthy, of which his brother it the head, - in a. state to resume the rank which it las't year lost. All the defensive measures which had been begun at Fie/idle/ and in the other parts of Austria, have been suspvntled. Every thing which.is stated in the Letters from Gerinany rev ing the Armistice in Ituty, evidentlr unfounded, as the latest in tellivoce Yienna' is of the toth, and we know bye, the' French Papers, that they still con. tinued fighting on the .1 vlean the banks . of the A iiusperbion of ems Muhl, however, soon tlke.place in that quarter.
