the new Expedition. —The Scheldt and the Rio-de-

stamps of his genius, and have already administered
sufficiently to Ins faine.

Long and deeply convinced of the utter in-
capacity .of Maristera to conduct the affairs of
this great empire. at this crisis of unexanigled
difficulty awl dingo, we cannot be sitrprired at the
failure of the expril ,ion to the Scheldt. Still
hss surprise can we feel at the deplorable account
of atbsirs in Storni, as recorded in Viscomit WEL.

We witness at present some arrangements which
seem to indicate, that the Emperor of Austria
moans in future to reside at Buda, in Hungary. All
the officers of the different public departments
have received orders to priceell thither, and the

place. This circutuitance, and the resignation of
the Archduke Charles. have made h.fre the most
painful impression ; the latter is generally con-
sidered as au event of the utmost tame fur
