Lord Castlereagh was expected to leave that capital on the
4th. The intelligence from thence is in other respects un-
important. The Ministers had'hired their hotels for two
months longer, and almost every thiog, it appears, was still
to be arranged. On the 28th ult. a note was presented to
Congress on the part of Austria, which is believed to have
contained an abatement of some of her demands with respect
to the re-establishment of Saxony. It is said to have been
drawn up in a friendly tone, and consequently to have en-
couraged the hopes of peace. A French paper attributes this
change of manner to the intervention of England, who, it is
said, has conbtantly maintained the right of Prussia to claim
hrge indemoities for her past losses, and the policy of ren-
dering her sufficiently strong in population and internal
force to become the main bulwark of Northern Germany.
The continual decline of the exchange at Vienna, and the
increasing disturbances in Italy, sufficiently explain the rea-
diness of Austria to listen to these representations ; and, in
consequence, the note above-mentioned "is s:!irl to offer
Prussia a part of the Saxon territorie,, containing 800.000
sou:;, and comprehending part of Upper Lusatia, and the
whole country north of a line passing bv Torgau to the Seale,
and thence following the course of that river. It remains to
be seen whether PI ussia will be satisfied with this offer.

It has been thought that the subsidies to our Allies have
been continued to the present time ; and that probably this
migllt have had its influence in protracting the discussions
at the Congress. But it is understood that this is not the
case. We are bound only to pay for the maintenance of our
contingent, 75,000 men.

The Austrians are augmenting their forces in Italy. and
placing all the garrisons on a complete footing. Two at-
tempts have been made by them to get possession of the cita-
del of Turin; one on the 26th January, when they attempt.
ed to get into the citadel under the pretext of executing a
soldier. The Commandant of the citadel refused, adding,
that they might execute him without the city. On the 27th,
Friday, they made a second attempt, which was again de-
feated.

The King of Wurtemburgh issued an ordinance, on the
4th inst. laving down a plan of representation for his king-
dom. The mt eting is fixed for the 15th of next month, and
is to include the great officers of the Crown, certain Nobles
and Clergy nominated by the King, and representatives of
the towns chosen by the inhabitants. Every man of the age
of ,25, and paving an annual tax of 200 florins on real estate,
is to have a vote in the election of representatives. The
elected must be thirty yea's of age; and all persons of the
three principal sects of Christianity, Roman, Calvinistic, and
Lutheran, are equally admissible to vote, or to become the
objects of choice.
Paris, Brussels, and Frankfort Journals came to band on
Thursday. The French Papers contain no intelligence from
Vienna worthy of notice, excepting that the Italian part of
the Tyrol is to be united to the Milanese—a circumstance
which is tegarded as preliminary to the forming of Lombardy
into a distinct kingdom.—Buonaparte, tired with the weight
of Sovercian ems. at Elba, is represented as desirous of relin-
quishing his dominion of that island, fur estates in England
or Scotland !--There is no mention made of the arrival of the
Duke of Wellington at Vienna; but it is certain tirt his
Grace reached that city on the Ist, and that Lord Castlereagh
was to set out from thence for England in a day or two from
that time.

An article from Vienna of the 2d, in the Brussels Papers,
States, that the principal business of the Congress is termi-
nated, but of this we can discover no satisfactory proof.
