MONDAY, NOVEMBER 18.
There was last night a very full attendance at
the opera, but mallow grand or gorgeous in the
way of displuy, and the interior of the theatre tint
bring lighted up, the appearance it presented was
sombre and gloomy us usual. There were pre-
sent the King arid Queen of Sardinia, the Grand
Duke of Tuscany, with his storable consort, and the
Grand Duke of (limier, with tits brother, Piller
Ferdinand d'Ease, theDtski of Wellington, and
Count Pozzo di Borg.. 'The first set was nearly
over when the Archduchess' Maria Louisa enter-
ed her box, attended by two Maids of Honour, sod
her Grand Chamberlain, Count Neiperg. When
she first presented herself she was wrapped up in a
large kerveymere cloak trimmed with ermine, the
night being rather cold, and no throwing it aside she
appeared dressed 111 a white satin slip, with a border
of deep lace mural the bosom. Her neck and bo-
som, which are very tine, were left quite exposed,
and she wore no ornament.. Her head-dress consist-
ed of a small white beaver hat, with a plume of os-
trich feathers to correspond, fatitetord at the side iii a
rosette of white ribbon. Sire looked very interesting,
and the more so from Ilia eventful scenes with which
her bloom of li4ollas been associated. Immediately
after the opera, '6W -ova to attend a musical party
at the Duke of IVellingtott's, where Lady Bow.
hersh presided upon the occasion. Ott her arrival,
the Noble Duke was in vniosing to receive her lin.
penal Highness, and he led her, leaning on Iris arm,
to the Grand Salon. Whet must have been her sen-
sations at Mit moment ! What must she have felt
while thus taking the arm that had hurled both her
husband and herself from the greatest throne in the
universe! Apparently, however, she betrayed not the
slightest emotion, and on entering the room she
went up to Lady Brirgliersh and shook her by the
hand with au air Of affectionate cordiality. Her
Ladyship is a great favuutite with the Archduchess,
who not long since presented her with a splendid
tiara of diatnirsida, which, in the days of her Impe-
rial pomp, she herself was often wont to wear at
Si. Cloud. The company, in the present instance,
consisted of about fifty persons of the first rank
and consequence, includiteg all the high diplo-
matic characters. and many strangers of distinc-
tion. Marlowe Cstalioti and Rossini were pre-
sent, and the great composer accompanied the
finned siren on the piano in some of her most
admired airs. It was nearly one o'clock be-
fore the brilliant torsemblage retired; and report '
says that an eleitHirt hllatitt, heightened and en.
!lanced by social feeling, served to beguile the
time. Yesterday w.rs very wet and disagreeable.
The Duke of %Vellingtois reinaitred at home the
whole day, and received some ptivate visits. The
Austrian General Nugent called on his Grace, as
did also General Latour, who has had several inter-
views with him relative to the affairs of Piedmont,
in which, however, the Noble Duke does not inter-
fere in his diplomatic character. In the evening his
Grace dispatched back to Corfu the same courier
who had brought the dispatches from Sir Frederick
Adam. They are preparing the Amphitheatre for
a brilliant fete. which is to take place before the
Emperors proceed to Venice.
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 19.
All the Foreign Ministers assembled again yes-
terday, in grand conference, at the house of Prince
Metternich ; but nothing has transpired as to the
result. It would appear, however, that all the
important business either has been, or will very
shortly be brought to a close, for, with the excep-
tion of Prince Metternich, who will remain here for
objects of a distinct and limited nature, the several
leading diplomatist* will take their departure in the
ensuing month. His Grace the Duke of Welling-
ton, should nothing extraordinary occur, is resolv-
ed to set nut on the 51h, at the latest, and after
staying a day or two at Milan, his Grace will pro-
ceed on, without stopping any where more than a
couple of hours, till he reaches Lyons, to which
he mesas to devote a day, far the purpose of going
through some of its manufactories. At Paris he
will reasons three days, or perhaps a week, sod then,
without any further delay, continue his route to
England.

Colonel Von Gorctitn has been engaged since the
end of last month, together with the Cutumirsioners
of his Majesty the King of France, tu surveying and
finally determiiiiiig the limits between the two
Kingdoms, from the Sambre to the Meuse.

duced to ashes.

Letters from Paris affirm that several dignitaries
of the Order of Malta, now in that capital, have
well-founded hopes of seeing their applications to
the Sovereigns net at Verona completely success-
ful. The great difficulty will be to give them an
island in the Mediterranesn, for the seat of the
Order. England will never consent to give up
Malta, which insures its maritime supremacy in
. _

those seas, and which fortunate circumstances have
placed in its hands. Sardinia is again thought of,
■ad it is even said that isropevals have been made to
the Court of Turin to cede that island on receive
ing sufficient iodemetity. What we here say is
founded on information received at Paris from
Verona, which seem to be of a nature to merit
attention.

German Papers assert, that a resolution is again
stated to have been taken by the Congress at Verona
relative to individuals condemned by the tribunals
in their own country tor political offences, and who
have sought au asylum in foreign stales.
FRANKFORT, NOVENBRR 21.
The Oriental Spedater contains the fuHowing
son le, dated Smyrna,-OctoberlB:
" According to positive information which we
have received from Damietta subsequent to the
151li of September four Greek insurgent vessels,
suspected to be Cazsiots, came to the roads of
Damietta, where, without loss of time' they made
themselves masters of thirteen small Turkish yes-
sells, or barks, which had their cargoes on board.
One of them had nearly a million of piastres ; the
was Intruded for the Turkish fleet. The
Greeks chose three of these vessels. into winch they
removed the cargoes of all the others, consisting
chiefly of rice. 'flies took away these three and

left the others : they did nni even touch the cargo
of one which had goods on board bearing European
marks."
Accounts from Vienna, of the 16th November.
have been received at Fralikfort by eaßLevs. At
the same time that news was received thffe of the
falling of the French and Spanish bootie, they had
also letter, from Verona, the contents of which were
very pacific; they stated, among other particular.,
that the Congress would close by the end of this
mouth, before which time all its labour, would be
completed. These ticcounts have had • favourable
cffect here at Frankfort on the price of the
Aus-
triau fends.

It was thought some time ago that the evacuation
of Piedmont by the Austrian troops was • point
agreed upon even in the preliminary conferences
which took place at Vienna between Prince Metter-
nich and the Ministers of the other great Powers.
It in now reported, however, that unexpected diffi-
culties have arisen on this subject, because Austria
judges it requisite, for the maintenance of tranquil-
lity in the kingdom of Lombardy and Venice, to
retain for a certain time a nu illefOOP garrison of its
own troops in the fortress of Alexandria.
Cardinal Spina has exerted himself in favour of
the Greek Deputation, lately lauded at Ancona,
and it should seem with some success, the Congress
having fixed Koveredo four leagues from this place,
as the temporary abode of the Greek Deputies.
Thence they will send to the Sovereigns a detailed
memorial on the present state of their country.
