FRANKFORT, ANA/ART 26.

Accor:liiig to authentic accounts, the Colitis of
Wirtemberg and Baden have now appointed their
Embassy to Home, which is to carry and hiy before
the Pops the result of the conferences held here
List summer, on the regulation of the affairs of tl.e
Catholic Church. The Embassy was to art out on
the 94th instant. Baron Vin Schmitt•Grollerbnrg,
Counsellor of State and Vice-President, is up.
pointed by Wirtemberg, and Baron Turkheim by
linden, for this important mission. The choice of
two men versed in the higher departments of state
titrAirs, authorises us to hope that their mission will
have the desired success. M. Von Schmitz was
Member of the Committee at Frankfort, and is
therefore intimately acquainted with the subject of
the riegncisiiiin. Baron Turkheim, when at the
Coogress at Vienna, became personally acquainted

the PRINrE REGENT'S Menage to the Douse
Lords on Thursday "evening, eripeetnig the dis-
Nod of the %tont of 58,000/. a year, which had
beta appr•Triateri from the VP VCDOPS of the Civil
List to the milyort of the late Qui:l:x*9 E•tablish-
ineut, was last evening taken into consideration.

In proposing an Address in answer to the Message.
Eirl of LIVERPOOL stated. that the disposal
5.,,W 'mole of this stun by the Poilscr liEcuaT, is
gratuitous boon on his part to the country of
shin should be considered as his absolute pro-
accorthog to the terms of the Act passed

three yens sioe•et for tlie regii!ation of his
LlA-
J►'srtr's Civil 1.1.1. We agree with the Marquis
of I..Ausuowx, that although the wo►ds of thee
Art may be coustruid thus strictly. they could lint
he consonant the spirit of the Legislature; for
it might so happen in the event of rue demise of
several members of the Royal Family, the Mi-
nisters of the Crocco would have at their disposal
a considerable sum of money, over which Parlia-
ment could have no possible control. We think it
prudent to the Put sr tr. REGENT'S Ministers to
content !licmselves till simply asserting the right,
while they resign the substance without contest.

In the ilout.e of Commons several writs were
ordered fur the election of Members in place of
those whose seutsliaii been vacated ►ince the ge-
neral election. Among these, Mr. BROUGHAM
moved for a new writ tor the election of a member
in place of Sir SA ,1 LI t. Itositt.t.v. Some expec-
tation had been riittrtnined, that this opportunity
wont.' have been seized by the friends and admirers
in the blouse of Commons of this distinguished
Senator, to testify their esteem for his memory, and
the sense they entertained of the loss sustained by
the country in a good and great man's death ; but
It seems that such • ditiphry of friendship would
he inconsistent with the rules of the House. Sir
SAMUEL. ROMILLY never having taken his seat in
the present Parliament, his merits as a Senator
could not have been recognised ; and in any other
caparity it is evident be could not, consistently
with established usage, have been noticed.

A Dutch Mail has arrived. Accounts from Con-
stantinople, of the 44th of December, mention
the arrival in that city, on the 16th, of the gallant
ABDALLAn, Chief of the ‘Vechabites, with his
Treasurer and his !man. They were led in barbarous
triumph through the principal streets of the ca-
pital, in chains, and then flung into dungeons, and
put to the torture. On the following day they were
brought into the presence of the GRA Nt.) SEWN toR,
who glutted his savage spirit of revenge by causing
them to be beheaded in his presence. Their bodies
were exposed naked in the streets fur three days,
and finally given up to the rabble. To what a
state of moral degrudation can despotism reduce
human nature !

Letters from the French frontiers remark on the
prudence of the King of FRANCE in endeavouring
to drown the memory of past events, by an impar-
tial adinivsion into the army of half.pay officers of
the old army, and of those who had distingui.lied
themselves in the wars of La Vendee and under the
Prince of CosuE.

A Mr. DENIER, • Frenchman, editor and pub-
lisher of the Journal called Le C'ortstitulionel trA a-
ter 3 , paned thr9ugh Brussels on the ‘2Bth of Ja-
nuary, escorted by the marechatis- e, to be brought
to the French frontiers, with an injunction never to
chew himself again iu the kingdom of the Nether-
lands.

An article from Warvqw, dated January is,
says :—" As Russia and Poland are now under the
sceptre of the same Monarch, it is said that at the
next Polish Diet the union of the Russian Polish
Proxinces, with the present kingdom of Kland,
will take place, as various interests require that
the Members of our ancient great and brave illation,
which have been politically severed, should be
again united in one whole. The wisdom, justice,
and generosity of A LExAN DER, the peace-Maker of
Europe, liaise for their chief object to give every
nation its rights.
"The Russian army returning from France is
expected here on the '26th ; it marches in three
divisions."
