REPORTED PEACE WITH AMERICA.

There was a report in the City yesterday that the Prelimi.
naries of Peace had been signed with America. Had any
such intelligence been received by Government, it would.
we suppose, have been officially notified to the Lord Mayor.
It is tint unlikely, however, but the late events may have
operated such a-change in the intentions, if not actually in
the nienthers of the American Government, as to lead to a
speedy conclusion of peace, on terms highly advantageous, as
it is justly due, to the conquerors.

AVGSBURG, SEPT. 11.—We learn the following circumstances re-
srecting the kind of life which Buonaparte leads in Elba, on the
authority of private letters frim Tuscany :—He endeavours, in a
particular manner, to gain the esteem of the English—he has ac-
(wired the English and German languages, and now speaks ,otlt
with tolerable Harney. He sleeps bat little, and rides about much,.
iwpecting the various buildings which he has ordered. Every day
ife goes to mass, and appears to be very devout : afterwards lie re-
tires to his apartments, where he reads and writes 'or the greater

and that they are resolved to fulfil the engagement
which they have solemnly taken, to restore justice

Powers cannot depart widely from the following Expos.'
As our. speculations are founded on a strict sense of politi.

able, and will henceforward be respected. By acquiring
fresh provinces she would only engraft on a vigorous tree,
feeble bfauches, which the first storm would sweep
away. In the mixture of spirits, it is not the weak that
acquires force by being joined with the strong, but the
strong that loses strength by its union with the weak.
Such Would be the case with Russia. She would have to
protect and contain the inhabitants of ill-disposed
frontiers, without rendering them secure, whilst the
sound heart of the Empire would be drained of its vigour'.
At the first approach of Napoleon, in 1812, all the popu-
lation of Lithuania and Courland rose in arms to join the
invader, and shake off a yoke borne with secret reluct-
ance through a long course of years. And yet it is said
that Alexander demands the restoration, and claims the
throne of Poland ; whilst wisdom and true policy would,
on the contrary, require that ho should again a f, iend
in that kingdom, and contribute at once to its re-
establishment, and to the consolidation of his own
dominions, by yielding those parts of former. Poland
unjustly added to his empire and which .1% ill otherwise
ever remain its weakest and most unweildy limb.

POLITICAL DISQUISITION.

•
THE APPROACHING CONGRESS.

In less than a fortnight the Congress at Vienna will
open. From every part of Europe, nay, even froi:beyond
the seas, Envoys and Ministers are travelling to the seat of
nerciation. • Monarchs thetesettes) unwilling to trust
their high interests to the integrity of Diplomatists, prepare
to survey and direct their labours, and the capital of the
Austrian Empire ivi l shortly present an assembly of
• 'pings and Emperors, of which history o ers no eaamp e.
The avowed motives of this auguit. synod *are equally.
grand and novel. When, powerful..Seveceigns,. satiated
with human slaug-hter, drop the sword, it is not in general
because the flame of. their' ambition has ceased to burn :

it is because, despairing of success in the field, they hope
for more easy triumphs in the Cabinet.l ' Yente ttie
paci-
fication of.the world is their last thought. They destrr
sd cities and ravaged the earth, to add their ruins
and its solitudes to their dominions, and they settle
the respective portions of plunder 'Which they are to
yield or to receivel.in order not to repair the evils 'which
they have done, but to augment their means of :in-
flicting fresh calamities on mankind, when rest shall have
recruited their strength.. A Treaty of Peace is then only
a temporary truce, and bears within itself the seeds of its
Own destruction. In the present instance, as higher and
more generous motives than lust of aggrandizement armed
the Sovereigns of the earth: as they rose to vindicate, not
their rights alone, but those of nations: as they
fought, not to destroy, but to save; not to enslave,
but to free, And as the result of their exertions
has been the downfall of that tyranny which aimed at,
and almost grasped, universal empire, it would seem a con-
trajiction in human nature, were they to belie, not only
their pi ofessions, but their own conduct, by making the
Congress a focus of ambitious liews and clashing pre-
tensions, likely to disturb, instead of pacifying the world.
If they act in a consistent manner, and continue to Prefer
the general good to individual advantage, their course may
Le easily anticipated. It would be, perhaps, too much to
expect that they should entirely lose sight of eferA

are flowers. There have lately appeared round plumes of soft fea-
thers; at first they were all white, now they are tinged with pale
yellow, ur rose. The mode of wearing cornets (caps), under the
hats, is gone by. They make those caps of tulle, striped with a g.r-
iiihac of white satin ribband. In the putting of clear muslin, at the
bottom of rolies there always passed a coloured ribband, but within
these two or titles days there appears in the front an opening. ga-

Ferdinand VII. having at last secured the quiet posses•
sion of his throne by concluding a treaty with. France, in
which his title is ackuowiedged, and the claims of his fa-
ther to the crown set at rest, carries on with fresh activity'
the war he had undertaken against the bravest snpporters
of his cause during the long period of his captivity.
From the latest accounts from Madrid, it is estimated
that no less than 12,000 persons are in confinement for
political motives. They constitute principally the liberal,
patriotic, and enlightened mass of the community.

Paris papers to the 13th inst. were received last night.
They now abstain from insert ng those speculations Which,
although given under foreign heads, were undoubtedly
manufactured by their Editors. Before they would re-
linquish so promising a mode of creating fresh disturban-
ces in Europe, however, the latter attempted to make a
stand, and boldly denied the share which they► wore
charged with having in the composition of these articles,
asserting that they really originated Lt 4 German pews.

facility. On the breirieg out of the American War, however, the
cage sas chsnged. Ine American merchant ships were almost
universally converted into privateers. The seas swarmed with
thousands of them. On the very night of the arrival of the Ameri-
can declaration of war, the revocation of •HU licences which liaJ
been granted was published in the Gazette. The Admiralty esta-
blished regular convoys. It was settled that tnur should sail an-
nually from Shithead, and four from Cork, for the West Indies.
Each convoy equalled in force the whole American navy ; the con-
seqiience of which was, that not a single merchaot•ship had been
taken which sailed under convoy, and that no convoy had been at
all disturbed, except by weather. As to the permission to vessels
mned according to Act of l'ailiament to ran, the consequence
would be that as soon as the Americans became aware of the force
of those vessel:, they would fit out others of larger force to inter-
cept them. It was undeniably the interest of the Admiralty to
grant licences for running Allips, instead of appointing convoys, for
in the latter case they incurred a responsibility. from which in toe
former they. were exempt; but their object invariably mot to adopt
such measures on the snhject as were best calculated to secure the
commerce of the country.
After some further conversation the Bill went through the Com-
mittee, and the Report was ordered to be taken into fhrther con-
sideration on Monday next.

THE KING V. DANIEL ISAAC EATON.
The Attorney-General moved thy judgment of the Court on this
defendant, who had been convicted of publishing a blasphemous
libel, under the title of Ecce Homo."—The defendant entered the
Court, apparently labouring under great bodily infirmities.
The indictment having been partly read, Mr. Gurney hoped the
Attorney-General would not now press for judgment, as should the
defendant, in his present state of health, be again sent into coutine•
mcm►t, it we% not likely he would survive a month.
The Court said, they could not torget the unbending obstinacy of
the defendant, who seemed determined never to be amended by the
correction which the law had repeatedly applied. He had lately
been in Negate, and he was again an offender. They were aware
that he was but the miserable tool of some others; for the book in
question was evidently the production of misapplied talent, and was
of powerful mischievous effect. It would be desirable that those
behind the curtain should be brought to condign punishment.
The Attorney-General aid, it was dear that the Defendant was
but a w retched object, who lent himself to the wickedness of others.
But if he had any sincere wish to merit the mercy of the Cow t, he
would do well to give up the authors.

SITUATION OF NORWAY.

Earl GREY said, it could not be necessary to call their Lordship's
attention to the treaty with Sweden which was sanctioned last year
by parliament, notwithstanding his opposition, and that of several
of Ilia tiiends, to the measure : he remained, however, unalterably
fixed in the opinion which he then expressed, that British policy
never sustained a greater shock, nor British character a deeper
stain, than was inflicted by that treaty. -But he knew his duty too
well to recommend its recall, or any evasion of its stipulations,
however inconvenient the performance of them might have become.
Leaving the treaty with Sweden perfect in all its obligations, the
first question would be, whether it required from us inch measures
as were now pursued towards Norway ; secondly, whether these
measures were such in themselves as could be justified accordingto
all the doctrines which had ken laid down by all the writers on pub-
lic law ; thirdly, whether Sweden had so acted as to be entitled
to call upon us for the execution of these measures ; and lastly,
whether sound policy would justify us in complying with such de.
mantis. The first question to which he had to call their Lordship's
attention was, as to the construction of the treaty itself. He
%visited them to consider whether, when fairly construed. it did
c,:ntain such an obligation as the blockade of the ports of Norway,
pti the suggestion of Russia we acceded to this treaty ; and one of
the conditions undoebtedly was, not only that we should not ()lime

bility, besides bringing together those who ce,mmand, and
these who obey; by distributing to all racks a legicalative
character ; by securing the privileges of all ; by making
the law paramount either to the will of the sovereign, or
the turbulence of the people, it is the balance of a free
constitution, emanating out of the-representa ti ye chai acter,
and maintained and invigorated by the firm but temperate
exercise of a free press.
If this be not the fact, how is it that The Courier puti

France harmless is to make her free. The way to make

PARIS, MAY 9.

Louis, by the Grace of God, king of France and Navarre, to all
those to whom these presents shall come, greeting :
. On ascending the Throne of our ancestors, we have found our
tights in your love, and have given up our whole hearts to the seu-
titnents manifested of old by Louis XII. the father of his people,
aml by the good Henry IV. Their incessant application to the
happiness of Fiance elan mark our reign also ; and it is our most
ardent wish that it may in its turn leave behind recollections worthy
of being associated with the memory of those Sovereigns whose first
and noblest virtue was paternal election.
Amidst acclamations so unanimous and so soothing to our heart,
With which we were accompanied from the frontiers of our King-
dom to the bosmn of our capital, we have never ceased to consider
the situation of our provinces and of our brave armies. The op-
pression which crushed France has left behind it many evils, by
which we ate keenly touched; our concern on account of them is
profound, but their weight will be daily diminished; all oar care
4111 be directed to this point, and our highest pleasure will increase
.ith the felicity of our people. Already an armistice, concluded in
conformity with the views of as enlightened and moderate policy,
dispenses its hem-fits as the forerunners of peace; and the Treaty
winch is to establish it in a durable manner is the most constant as
well as the most important object of cur thoughts In a short time,
the olive, the pledge of the repose of Europe, will be displayed to
the nations that require it.
The Allied armies are beginning to move towards our frontiers,
mud the august Sovereigns whose principles have been so generous
in regard to us, are nobly desirous of closely uniting themselves with
us by the ties of a mutual friendship and confidenoe that shall never
Le broken.

We know that some individual abuses have been committed, and
that contributions have been levied upon the departments of our
kingdom since the conclusion (If the armistice; but the juht anti

JOANNA'S PREGNANCY.

The Spirit calls upon Joanna, and after having quoted
the words of St. John, There're doth my father love me,
because I lay down my life that I might take it again,' pro-
ceeds as follows :
6 6 But how can I take it again without coming in spirit,
as a father to take it in a son. know as a eon I came at first,
but as a bridegroom I said I should come at last ; then, know.
at a king brings is his heir to his crowd, by the bride, so
shall . bring in ray heir to my kingdom that I died to re-
deem. And now let the Jews awake as men out of sleep.
and let them see their prophets clear, and let them see their
psalms clear, then they will see, I must first come to hare
my enemies as spoken in the psalms, and after that to ascend
on high to receive gifti for men ; yea, even for the rebelli.
ouv Jews, that the Lord God might dwell among them. But
how is the Lord God to dwell amongst them if I do not
create a son by the same power I came amongst them. And
to prove nay power that it is of God and not of man, it must
be made known unto all men whomsoever that read this
book of, thine that no man bath been in thy presence, or put
a foot in the room where I have confined thee, since the
time I ordered thy confinement, which time was October
i 813. And thou must let it be knowq to the world that
thou cans't say with Agur, 1 There be three things which
are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not.'"

After recording this address of the Spirit, Mrs. Southcott
proceeds
" And this I can take my solemn oath to; I never had
knowledge of man in my life. So that if the words of the
spirit are fulfilled in me this year to have a son, it is by the
power of the Lord and not of man; and this sign is set to
prove the truth of the gospel, or to prove that the gospel is
not true. For this lam answered, if the visitation of the
Lord. to me now does not produce a son this year, then Jesus
Christ was Nov the son of God born in the manner spoken
by the Virgin Mary ; but if I have a son this year, then
in like manner our Saviour was born."—, Let them look to
thy age, and the manner I have confined thee from any
man coming into thy presence, and to prevent men's saying
a man might come in women's apparel, I have also foihidden
all thy female friends to come into thy presenee likewise."

all night in a room by myself, which I did. Many extraor•
