VIENNA, SEPT.
Her Imperial Highness the Archduchess Henrietta, consort of
the Archduke ('harks, was happily delivered, the day before yes-
terday, of a Princess, who was baptized the same day, in the Palace
of the Archduke Charles, and in the presence of their Majesties,
and of the Archdukes and Archduchesses now at Vienna, and of
their Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Nassau. The cere-
mony was performed by M. Steindl, Bishop of Antinopolis and
Vicar-General. The Empress stood godmother, and gave the
young Princess the name of Maria Caroline Christina.

We have rec,ived Gibraltar Papers to the 21 inst. The
Postmaster of Sr. Roque has sent notice to the English
garrison, that any despatch to be sent through Spain must
have his sanction ; leave to that effect being only granted
by application through the Civil Secretary of Gibraltar !
otherwise the despatch will be stopped, and the messenger
punished according to the laws of Spain.
A letter from Barcelona states, that upon a rumour (a
false one) that Mina and Arguelles had landed at Catalo-
nia, several friends of these distinguished men, who are in
that province, have been arrested and dragged to prison.
Among them was Don Torres de Gana, a gentleman nearly
90 veers of age ; his white hairs and irreproachable conduct
could not protect him.
It is reported in the naval circle, that a ship of war, pro-
bably the Java, is to be fitted to take out a new Governor-
General to India; and that his Grace the Duke of Bucking-
ham has accepted of that appointment.—Hamphire Tele-
graph.
On the Ist of this month, the harbour of Corfu was de-
clared a free von, since which date vessels of all nations
are allowed to enter perfectly free and unmolested, with-
out any distinction whatsover as to flag.—Jeirrnul de
Bruxelles.

Majot Gurwood arrived at the Foreign Office on Sunday
afternoon from Brazil, with despatches from Sir Charles
Stuart, the British Ambassador at Rio de Janeiro.

Extract of a letter dated Rio Janeiro, July 27 :—" The
Emperor has nominated his Excellency Ling Jozr de Cur-
vaho le Mello, Minister for Foreign Affairs, &e. to treat
with Sir Charles Stuart on the affairs wherewith he is in-
trusted. They have already had several conferences, and
several Privy Councils have followed. We are of opinion
that in a short period these negotiations will be brought to
a happy conclusion; being well convinced that the British
Government are too well assured of the firm principles and
pretensions of our Emperor, to have sent such a famed
diplomatist as Sir Charles Stuart, unless they were con-
vinced of the cerlainty of settling the differences existing
between this country and Portugal."
One of the letters received from Rio Janeiro yesterday
states—" Lord IVm. Paget proceeds in the packet for Eng-
land with important despatches. The Secretary for Fo-
reign Affairs has had frequent conferences with Sir Charles
Stuart, but nothing has transpired here."
The principal newspaper offices in the United States are
open to the public, and are provided with abundance of
reading matter for their amusement. The office of the
New York National Advocate has lately been fitted up in
such a manner that all the newspapers which are received
from any part of the country each morning by mail, may
be seen, free of expense, from nine o'clock in tit= morning
until sunset. A table is placed in the centre of the office,
and these papers (and occasionally English papers) are free
to respectable strangers from every section of the United
States.

THS UNITED ST•TEP AND GEORGIA.--The ground
taken by the President of the United States in relation to
the treaty with the Creeks, and the survey of their lands,
is the ground of right and justice. By the treaty, the
Indians are to be protected by the government from any
encroachments till their removal in September of the next
year. The Gover.lor of Georgia, apprized of this fact by
the treaty itself, by the Secretary of War, and by General
Gaines, persists nevertheless in declaring that the Creek
lands, thus prospectively ceded, shall be entered upon and
surveyed, cost what it will. The President, then, having
no alternative left, having exhausted all entreaties with
the Governor to forbear, in vain, directs the Secretary
of War, " to state distinctly to his Excellency, that, for
the present, he will not permit such entry or survey to be
made." And he has ordered General Gaines, should the
Governor still persevere in sending persons to survey the
lands embraced within the treaty, to employ the military
force to prevent their entrance upon them, or to arrest'
them if they should succeed in entering, and turn these
persons over to the judicial authority, to be dealt with as
the law directs. Here, then, this controversy is brought
to a point, and it is not difficult to foresee the proper re.
suit that will inevitably be produced.
TR•VILLING IN Ting UNITED STATES.—The travelling
between this city and Brunswick is unprecedented; Soo
persons, at least, leave this city for that town every day.
The expedition of the boats, the excellence of the accom-
modation, is allowed by all, and the cheapness will never
I be heard of, but with surprise—forty miles for a shilling.
Ten years ago, the price was two dollars. The only im-
position, is with the stage drivers at Brunswick, where they
have the assurance to charge the Yorkers 2a. for a ride of
half a mile, the steam-boat price for eighty miles.—/Vera
York Paper.
COMMUNICATION BETWEEN ENGLAND AND IRELAND.
—With considerable satisfaction we learn that two new
steam vessels, of more than 300 tons each, and of great
power, are in such I state of forwardness as to be likely,
in about three or four weeks, to commence plying con-
stantly and regularly, with goods and passengers, between
Waterford and Liverpool, upon nearly the same plan as
the steam vessels upon the Dublin and Liverpool station.
Considerable progress has likewise been made in the con-
struction of a similar steam vessel to ply between Water-
ford and Bristol.—if atenperd Chronicle.
INSTRUCTION FOR MECHANICS AT PAIIIS.—Baton
Charles Dupin, a Member of the Institute, has under.
taken to give instructions to the industrious classes in geo-
metry and in n.echanics, as applied to the arts. His in-
struction tends to the great manufactures as well as to the
most ordinary and common arts of life, and even to
fine arts. The architect, the carpenter, the mason,
the sculptor, the painter, and the engraver, each re-
quire a knowledge of certain geometrical or mecha-
nical principles: M. Dupin supplies them with this
knowledge. The knowledge lie teaches is necessary 1,
sary to all mechanics, and artists who have any thing to do'
with mechanics. In some cities of France, some arped
Professors have hastened to follow M. Dupin's example,
and others propose to follow it.
The steward of the cockpit onboard the Windsor Castle,
in liamoaze, was found suspended to his hammock one
morning this week. The poor fellow had coturnitted the
suicide early in the night, the body being quite stiff when
discovered.—Plymout4 Gazette.
Tux Wouns neut.—A Morning Paper, which frequently
regales us with a touch of the wonderful, has the follow-
ing :—" Last week Mr. Gibbs, tailor and draper, of
Weston, discovered in the yolk of a duck's egg, which had ,
been boiled for liia breakfast, and which he was about to
eat, an insect of the lizard tribe, called vulgarly nn evett, ,
which measured an inch and a half, and war Still alive.
The reptile survived more than ten minutes after its ex-
posere.'
