THE Hamburgh Mail arrived this day in course. from the lateness of the hour we are precluded from giving any more than a few Extras. The follow , ing are the most important : VIENNA, JAN. 22.----Our Ministers have daily Conferences with the Russian and English Ambassa4 dors : they are relative to Peace. It is believed that the Archduke FERDINAND will receive the Principality of Aschaffenburgh as an in demnity for the loss of the Brisgau, as soon as it shall be possible to find an indemnification for the Ble6tor Arch-Chancellor. • General MATTHIEU Dimas bas been sent, on the part of the French Emperor, to take possession of . Venetian Dalmatia. Several Foreigners have been arrested here by the trench, and sent to France. LEIPSIC, JAN. is understood that the Territory of Hanover will be occupied by a con siderable Prussian Army. On the arrival of the Prussian Troops, it will be evacuated by the French. This Country, it is added, will be held by Prussia till the conclusion of a general Peace. Convention to this purpose has been entered into between Prussia and France, in order to pre serve the tranquillity of the North of Germany. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. BREMEN, JAN. 28. IT is no* beyond a doubt that the English Army Mere will be re : shipped as soon as possible, but as the weather is at present very boisterous, and the toads to Bremer'elle and Cuxhaven almost impass able, it must at any rate be a work of some weeks before the whole can be accomplished. The Brigades tear the Shipping Ports are ordered immediately on board ; and, as there are a good many Sloops of War and Gun-boats in the Weser and Elbe, I think it very likely they will take advantage of the first fa- Vounable wind, to proceed with the Transports to the place of their destination, as soon as the Troops tan be got off. The Brigades in and about Vegesack march to rds Bremerlehe to-morrow morning ; to take up the cantonments of those who are embarking, and Some of the Regiments quartered here are supposed to go to Vegesack. The baggage of the Brigade of Guards is to be shipped tolmorrow morning, but the men are not to march for some few days. The Hanoverian Legion is filing off towards Stadt. yesterday General TOLSTOY reviewed the whole of the British Troops quartered here, and I am sure Must have been surprised at their clean soldier-like appearance : he dined and spent • the evening with Lord CATHCART, and set off for .tiienburgh this Morning. Her Royal Highness the PIUNCESS of WALES, and their Royal Highnesses the DUKES Of CAMBRIDGE and CUMBERLAND, paid the Countess of HARRING ION yesterday morning visit at her house in the Stable-yard, St. James's. WHIG CLus.—This Society held its first meeting; for the season yesterday ; but owing to Mr. Fox be ing', by his Parliamentary duties, prevented from at tending; no political speaking took place. The health of that Gentle:llan, proposed by Mr. BYNG, was, as usual, drank with ecstacy. At twelve o'clock yesterday morning, after the Court of Chancery had been about two hours en ga-ed in business, and the LORD CIIANCELLOR had kindly promised to give his attention iu private to some cases which had been argued before him, in order, if possible, to prevent delay, he addressed the Court to the following etfeft I " Befo?e I take leave of this Court, I wish to ad dress a few words to yon, Gentlemen, expressive of the feelings I entertain for the respectful attention I have on All occasions experienced from'you. I have doubted whether the more dignified manner of part ing would not' be simply to make my bow to you, and refire ; but observing that I have been repre iented yesterday and the day before to have addressed --You on the subjeii, I shall not resist the impulse I feel to say a few words. " I quit the office I hold without one painful re fleetion. Called to it by the authority of those whom it was my duty to' obey, I have executed it, not well, but to the extent of my humble abilities, and the time which I have been able to devote to It ; and I enjoy the grateful feeling, that there is no suitor of this Court who can say, I have not executed it conscientiously. There is yet, however, one pain ful emotion by which lam assailed—it is the taking leave of you. In retiring into private life, lam up }it'd by the hope, that I shall carry with me the con tinued esteem of a ptofession for which I feel an attachment that will descend with me to the grave. " For the great attention, respe6t, and kindness, I have always received_from you, accept, Gentlemen, ray sincerest thanks, accompanied by my best Wishes for your long continued health and happiness, and uninterrupted prosperity." Mr. PIGOTT, the new Attorney-General, evident 1Y affected, made a brief answer to the CHANCELLOR. In the name of the whole Bar, he begged his Lord ship would accept their acknowledgments of the con descending kindness with which he had ever treated them ; and their most earnest wish, that, in retire ment, he would find that comfort and satisfa6lion \‘'hielt his eminent services so amply entitled him to. On Wednesday last, as the Newbury coach was turtling into the White.

WETHERIIEAD, on a voyage from Grenada, bound to London, laden with sugar, cotton, and rum; she sailed with the Fleetfrom the West Indies, under convoy, and put into Ireland, and delivered part of her cargo, from whence she was proceeding for London, but last evening the wind blowing fresh from the S. E. and foggy, she unfortunately struck on the horse-bank near South Sea Castle, fell on her beam ends, and filled. All the Boats were washed over-board except one, hanging over her stern, which also broke loose, and was drifting fast to leeward, when the Captain, at the great hazard of his life, sprang over-board and regained her, and brought her to the Ship, took out three of the Ship's Crew, and landed at South Sea Castle. Vessels were immediately sent out to her assistance, and happily brought all the remainder of the Crew on shore, except one man, who fell from the mizen-top into the water, and was drowned. — Should the weather continue moderate, a great part of the rum may be saved, but if otherwise, she will soon go to pieces.

" What I have now to communicate on itT part of his Imperial Majesty, relates to the adoption of Prince EUGENE, and the hereditary quality of the Italian Crown. " According to our Constitutional Laws, the right of succession in the Government of the DTl pire is accurately fixed. " But this is not the case with the Italian States ; according to which the succession to the throne be longs to the legitimate, natural, or adopted race, of his Majesty the Emperor or King. " His Majesty wishes to remove the uncertainty which may arise herefrom ; for which reason he would give his Italian States a fourth Statute. " It comprises, on the part of his Majesty the Emperor and KING, the adoption of Prince Eu- GENE as his son. In consequence of which Prince EUGENE, by defe& of heirs of the Emperor, shall receive the Italian Crown for himself and his heirs. In case the said Prince should die without heirs, the Crown then to fall to the nearest relative of the Prince of • the Imperial Family who may at the time reign over France.

" You know; Gentlemen, that every-day conso lidates the work of the Emperor ; every day cements the parts of it, and relations are established, the uti lity of which guarantees their duration.

PARIS, JAN. 26.—Prince EUGENE, the regent of the Kingdom of Italy, was to depart fr. a Munich on the 21st inst. with his Princess,. for Milan. M. TALLEY RAND left Munich on the isth inst. Prince MuanT has arrived at Paris: Count HAUGWITZ arrived on the 21st inst. at Frankfort, on his way to this City. The Bavarian General ljsaot has been appointed Governor-General of thetyrol ; and General WREDR i Governor of Augsburgh. JANUARY 27.-=---Their Majesties; the Etnperor and Empress, strived last night in the Capital of their States. This happy return was not announced until one-o'clock to-day, when the Council of State as= sembled, and has Majesty presided. VIENNA, JAN. 15.—it is said that the battalions of reserve, stationed upon the Turkish frontiers, have received orders to hold themselves in readiness for service at the shortest notice. This order is said to depart. This Prince is a Frenchmen ; he is so in his heart, as well as by his birth. He will carry to that throne, to which he is called by his illustrious father, those sentiments which shall maintain between Italy and the rest of the Empire those connexions neces sary for the general prosperity. " In the information which His Majesty has given you of the measures which he has determined upon, you will find a new testimony of his affe6tion ; a proof that he regards the French Senate as one of the bulwarks of the vast edifice which he has‘found ed. The V - 3 rious parts of which it is composed, though the result of different laws, all tend to one point worthy of his genius ; the conservation of the whole, the happiness H of all, and the immortal glory of its founder. " I shall now transmit the letter of his Majesty and King to M. Le President." have been occasioned by the approach of two Turkish armies, one of twenty and the other of forty thou sand men, which the Grand Seignor is sending against the Servian insurgents. It is also reported, that the Porte had requested a passage for these troops, which had not been granted. But whatever report may state, it is certain that our Court will negle& no precaution necessary to put o'ir frontier in a state of defence. SEMLII4, JAN. 2.—The Turkish Army assembled in Bosnia, consisting of twenty thousand men, has not yet passed the llfina. Before their Command ant undertakes any hostilities against the Servians, it is said he will be joined by fresh troops from Ro inelia. The want of provisions prevails in such a degree at Belgrade, that the inhabitants are compelled to go out in parties, and seize whatever may fall in their way. In this situation, it is thought Belgrade will fall an easy prey to the besiegers. Roma, DEC. 28.—The signal viaories of the French Emperor in Germany and Moravia seem to have lispelled the clouds that threatened this quar ter. It is very generally reported, that the troops colleaed in Naples will make no resistance ; and the last letters from that city mention the arrival of an Aid-de-Camp of the Russian Emperor, with orders for his troops to re-embark. In the mean while, the advanced guard of the French, which had passed through the Ecclesiastical territory, have halted upon the Neapolitan frontiers, to wait the determination of the Enemy, and the arrival of re inforcements now upon their march. ST. PETERSBURGH, JAN. 4.—The Emperor At...EX. ANDER, notwithstanding the ill success of his Ger man campaign, still finds many occasions on which the gratitude of his people are manifested. Not withstanding the War, and the numerous transports of provisions sent to the Army, this capital, ih con- sequence of the able dispositions of the Government; still enjoys plenty of all the necessaries of life at a _ very cheap rate. STRASBURGH, JAN. 21.—A Letter which has just reached us Contains the information, that, conform ably to the orders which the King of Prussia . has transmitted to the Russian General ToasToy, the Russian Troops that have quitted Hanover are to remain in the Dutchy of Mecklenberg till they are informed of their ultimate destination. JAN. 23.—Our city yesterday was in full Motion. The Guilds in uniform, and each carrying the embleni of his profession; repaired to the side of the Rhine. The Jagers and Grenadiers of this city, with those of Calmar, and all the arrondissements of. the Up.; per and Lower Rhine, formed an army of the most perfe& 'appearance, dressed and equipped at their own expence. Triumphal arches were raised from distance to distance, from the outermost lines "of Kehl to the extremity of the Island. The bridges of the Rhine were occupied by trophies, and the intermediate spaces by tents; which gave the disa trig the similitude of a camp. At four o'clock Marshal KELLERMAN, with the other Generals, the General staff:', and the Civil and Military Constitut ed Authorities, repaired to the entrance of At six o'clock the first Couriers gave notice of the approach of Their Majesties; and soon after the ear= riages came in sight.

SENATORS, " The Organic Senatus Cor •ulttim of the 18th Floreal, of the year 12 (Bth 804), has pro vided for every thing respe&ing the Hereditary Suc cession of the Imperial Crown in France. " The first Constitutional Statute of our King doM of Italy, dated March 19, 1805, has fixed the inheritance of that Crown on our descendants, in a dire& and legitimate line, whether natural or by adoption. " The dangers to which we have been exposed in the midst of the war ; and which were exagger ated to our people of Italy—those to which we may still be exposed in combating the enemies who yet remain to France, still excite very sensible alarms.— The people of Italy do not enjoy the security offered .them by the liberality and the moderation of our laws, because the future is to them uncertain. " We- have considered it as one of our present duties to put a period to these alarms. " We have in consequence determined to adopt as our son Prince EUGENE, Arch=Chancellor of our Empire, and Viceroy of our Kingdom of Italy. We have called him, next to ourselves and our natural and legitimate children, to the Throne of Italy; and we have decreed, that in default of our direa de scendants; legitimate or natural, or those of Prince EUGENE, our son, the Crown of Italy shall devolve to the son, or the nearest relative to our Prince of the Blood, who in such Case Lmay then reign in France: " We have thought it befitting our dignity, tha Prince EUGENE shall enjoy all the honours attached to our adoption, though they.will give him no rights but to the Crown of Italy alone ; it being under stood that our adoption will in no case nor circum stance authorize either him or the descendants of Prince EUGENE, to raise any claim to the Crown of Prance, the succession of which is irrevocably regu lated by the Constitution of the Empire. " The history of all ages informs us, that the uniformity of laws is essentially prejudicial to the strength and good organization of Empires, when they extend beyond the limits allowed by. the Moral habits ) and geographical considerations. ~ We reserve to ourselves the opportunity of pub lishing our ulterior dispositions, respeCting,the con nexions which are to subsist after us, among all the Federative Estates of the French Empire.
