longer be a mew- nonentity between the High
Powers who have signed it."
JAN.IS.—We arc assured that Sir James Craufo.:d
has received orders to quit Paris i:t '2 4 li-urs. Ac-
cording to his usual custom, he exclaimed, it is said,
" Vive la Charte !" at the moment he was setting off.
According to the most recent letters front Spain
the conclusion of a treaty of hippie Alliance between
Portugal, Spain, and Naples, may be considered as
certain.

VIENNA, Jan.3.—Yesterday m►rning the Emperor
and Empress quitted our capital fir Lavboch, where
it is expected they will arrive on the 6th inst.
The Neapolitan Ambt.,4ador, Prince do Rufro,
who has remained at his post, although recalled by
the new Government, set arta Laybach on the Ist
instant,

The Emperor Alexander set off for the same des-
tination this morning. The King of Prussia is ex-
pectea to pass lirough here, on his way thither, in
the course of the week.
It was a stomach complaint that carried off
Fondle, Duke of Otranto, at Trieste, on the 2i h
Dec. His last wordo were addressed to his wife,
rt follow—" Now you eau return to France."

The Austrian Observer, after quoting the article
in which the courier relines the news published by
tha Morning Chronicle, that a difference had taken
place between Prince de ..lettenich, adds—" We
should not have taken any notice of this tale, which
has not the slightest foundation, and which has pro-
bably originated in some pot-house, if, to the great
astonishment of the best informed persons, the
English Opposition p►icers had not endeavoured to
gain credit fur a report which
.was so agreeable to
themselves. tJuder these circumstances, we have
deemed ourselves bound at least to insert the article
front the Courier, which appears to us to come from
an authentic source.

JAN. 4.—The Allied Sovereigns have given a
fresh prouf of their determination not to recognize
any of the acts extorted from the King of Naples by
the revolutionary faction. Prince de Rufho, who
was deprived of his embassy at Vienna, and recalled
by a decree of the Parliament, converted into a
Lloyd decree, has been invite.l to repair to the Con-
gress at Laybach, with the title of Ambassador from
his Majesty, the King of the Two
MADRID, JAN. 5.-1 write to you in great haste
to intorm you that the Cones are convoked Cm
Tuesday, the 9.11 inst. in order to take into consi-
deration the invitation that has been sent to Fer-
dinand VII., by the Allied Sivereigns, to repair
personally to the Congress at Laybach. This news
has produced the liveliest sensation. If the Cortes
permit the King to leave his kingdom, it is probable
he will embark at Barcelona.

It is rumoured in this capital that our Monarch
has received, from the Sovereigns at Troppan, an
invitation to repair to the cordiaences at Layuach
If this should be confirmed, there will, no doubt
be an extraordinary convocation of the Cortes, to
deliberate upon so important a measure.
They write from Madrid, under the date of Jan.
4, says theGazclle de France, that armed men of all
descriptions have passed through the town of
,Za-
mora, exclaiming " long live Religion !" In several
villages the country people joined them.
A new conspiracy has been discovered at Saragossa,
but the zeal and activity of the civil authorities
entirely disconcerted it,
JAN. 6 —The nomination of Deputies to the Cortes
of 1820 and 21, from New Spain, are known, and
have been published: 47 persons are deputed. or
to be supplied, fbr the eleven provinces of the Vice.
royalty of Mexico. We have not yet the names of
those were to be elected in the beginning of October
in the interior provinces of the East and %Vest, and
who are to be live in number.

By the Mexican Gazettes, which are down to the
17th October, we see that tranquillity wes entirely
re established in the major part of those provinces.
S.utw trifling comumtions are said to have been
felt ut thiedo and Saiagos,,a, and a few persons have
been arrested in consequence.
NlA:4.l,lmm, JAN. 7.—Quarrels, attended with
bloodshed, have taken place at Wurtzburg, between
the students and the inhabitants. Measures have
been taken to suppress them.

BARCELONA, Dec. 22.—1 f our adherence to the
Constitution has been notorious and sincere, if our
love to our King has been pure and cordial, if res-
pect to the legal authorities has always been the
rule of our conduct, we now think it more than
ever necessary to declare, that Catalonia considers
the Spanish Constitution 84 its property ; winch it
will defend against all the enemies of the public
felicity, ‘vhctlier they be secret or open.
The accounts we receive from Naples induce us
to hold this language, since we unhappily know,
that the affairs of Europe are taking a turn which
we did not txpcct. It was thought that the great

Powers, as they are called, attacked only the prin..
tiplc of the nevolution of Naples, that is, what they
called a Military Insurrection-; but the musk is
thrown o:f; it is not the military insurrection, it is
the Spanish ConstitUtion which is to be attacked at
Naples It cannot be any longer dissembled,
it is Spain which is mucked indirectly in Italy,
till an opportunicy should offer of attacking it
directly.
The injustice of the -intentions of those who
oppose the Spaniet Constitntion of Naples is self-
evident, us well us the maniEst contradiction into
which they fall, alleging that this Constitution gives
too much power to the people, and too little to the
Monarch. The Savereigns who now think thus ace
the same who, a few years ago, solemnly recognized
this Constitution ; which then roused them from the
lethargy—from the humiliation id which they were
plunged ; which was the basis to preserve their
thrones, to support their oscillatory sceptres, to
recover their dignity, their honour, their strength,
and their rank, Ike.

We are far from comparing Laybach with Bay-
onne, Ferdinand IV. with Ferdinand or the
Emperor Francis with Biumaparte.
It' any act of injustice like those commit tod by the
usurper of the throne of the Bourbons should he seen
in our days, we shall not impute it to the Sovereigns
but to their evil counsellors.. Meantime, Ferdinand
is gone to Laybach, but fn. what? It can only be to
repeat by word of mouth wlfat he his frequently
declared to the whole world. And what may be the
result of this new Congress ?—The Neapolitan na-
tion will not Yield; the Monarch will maintain his
oath ; the Cabinet, meantime, will introduce deht •
slim, inflame people's minds, excite parties, outrage
the law of nations, trample upon justice; but at the
same time they will animate in the people their
tome of liberty ; they will cans.: men to reflect on
their rights, and on the means of recove6,g them,
and of establishing them on more solid f.undations
than they have hitherto had. Naples will be
invaded, and the Spaniards cannot look at its situa-
tion with indifference.

Letters from Cape Henry (St. Domingo), now
called Cape Haytian, received to the 10th ult. Up
to that period the state of 'taint had remained per-
fectly tranquil, the new government gradually
consolidating itself, and giving confidence to the
operations of commerce. The liberal donations
accorded to the soldiery from the plunder of Chris-
tophe's treasury had caused an unusual demand for
all kinds of produce. It is satisfactory to be enobled
to state, that during the entire progress of the im.
portant change that has taken place, the British
residents have not only been respected, but their
safety has formed a subject of peculiar solicitude to
the revolutionary leaders. This protection has been
the more valuable, as our countrymen appear, ac-
cording to the statements in these letters, never to
have been once visited by a ship of war from the
Jamaica station, a measure which, as precautionary,
was certainly necessary ; and its omission is, with
much justice, complained of; with reference both to
their property and their lives, exposed to the excesses
of an invading army, composed of the mixed popu-
lation of St. Domingo.
A letter from Corfu states, that the famous Ex-
Pacha of Janina has obtained his pardon, having
succeeded in gaining the party of the Harem by the
sacrifice of two millions of sequins (1,000,00 W.
English sterling), and jewels to the value of half
as much.

Extract of a letter from Buenos Ayres, fOctuber
8, IB2o.—Last week, a terrible riot and massacre
took place in this city, in which I regret to say,
more than 500 persons were killed and wounded ;
the authorities were indelittigable in their endea-
vours to quell this insurrection, and at length hap-
pily succeeded. I have great pleasure to add all is
now quiet, and likely to remain so; the interior of
country, however, is still in a disturbed state.

By tulvices from Coquerubo it was stilted, that
the American brig Wan ior had been dttained by
Lord Cochtune, but thr what purpose, or under
what pretence we are not infbrmed : probably she
was conveying ammunition or other supplies to the
Royalist party. His Majesty's ship 1 lyperion had
sailed from Valparaiso on the 3d of September, for
Lima and Panama, to protect the British trade in
quarter.

The new Rank notes will not be ready for issuing
before April next. There are two millions of dif-
ferent notes of various amounts ready, with the ex-
ception of the number and dates ; and us the ma-
chinery, it is said, was rather too sharp for num-
bering the notes without injuring them, it has been
so improved, as to prevent a recurrence of the in-
convenience, A steam engine of great power is
constantly at work for the manufacture of these
notes.
