THE CONGRESS AT VIENNA.

Nfitnrilly ellls for our fir:A attentions. 'lad the idea of
f 1; autiable and great Henry, of establishing a Senate of
Sovereigns, at ti 4 bar of whose tribunal *ere to be heard
and redreved the complaints of the different sewers with-
out the intervention or file ullirna' rationis Regain, have
been near realization, greater expectations as to its re tilts
could not have been excited. In a moment of generous
enthusiasm, it seems to have been. intended to open it on
the Anniversary of the Battle at Leipsic—of the Battle of
Leipsic, where all the selfish passions were quelled, where
the murmurs of ambition were hushed, and where Europe
was. in arms to rid the world of its disturber. A poli-
tical milleniumappeaied to be approaching ; but scarcely
had the dangetc disappeared—searcely had the Modern
I therius sought refuge in hiq Caprea—scarce:y had a
glance been cast on the late oppressed Europe, than al;
the passions of ambition and aggrandizement, which, it
was too well calculated at the moment to excite, got into
full play. The Congre,s was to meet early in October.
it appears this delay is to be ascribed to a difference of
opinion who were to In' ad:Ili:AM to the conference, the
1331 e claimed his former territer'es, the Al:bot of St. Gall

To the temporary paralysis of t7te Fr.2nch diplomatic
machiic are, we fear, to ascribed tin! 111,e 'unanimity
about nd after the. pe7.••e of Paris. Consideraile credit
lir., due to Lord Cast!ercagh for ItV co:!(turt on this oc-
caskn , but, mtteh as we admire ti,e No!)le Lord's com-
placenoy, we fear that fl is delay is the result of the ma-
chinations 'Of (11,7 Frenc.ll Cabinet. delay that ii ac-
compani' with an "Lappy omen " wb:ch Enrope is to re-
ceive as such, and, "at the same inst:tnt to believe that
France is in no way j-ealons of any advantages which other
states may reasenaL!y cxpe t, and only desireF the re-es-
tablishirmat of a just of power." Moderate ! most
moderate !

Hence, all is in vo:ved mvsterv.: eNeept that it ap-

to leave Vi:nna soon after ale Ist Nol-1-nly'r. Then they

the effects of ordinary intrigue and common force, to fill
up the circle of thrit wants. • •

thiit the Empire must have a constitution which Fhail cant inr all
its partA.itao one great body, And rbncentrate its strength against
every enemy, whother flreign or domestic.".
And we arc much mistaken if the recent events which
have happened in that country do not urge the' necessity
of some measures being taken to combine its parts into
one great body, and concentrate its strength.
Irpon a view of th 2 whole of eau., it appears
probable, • that let the Cilfigress meet when it tnay, the
different TlTembQrs will Out separate to pursue their dif.
feient inte;ests.
In the relative situation of France to Russia and to
Anstula, there ray be r44ric slight alterations take place;
owing to the temp:log situa!ion of Tuikey.

THE UNITED STATES.

The next interesting sulk& is our negociations. and
wer with Ault country. In another place will be found
oor opinion as tl the d'ssolsoion Of the commission at
Ghent. The iedivideals themselves seemed, at the last
aceoonts, to have been prepared for it. It should appear
also by the (Hay, that while 'our Ilitlisters were amused
Irith 411 idea that the United Sotes had been isolated from
all European int-rest ; that the !louse Of Boorbou, a' well
as Alexander, had been receiving de die in diem accouno
bf its progress ; and doubtless becance they felt themselves
interested in the " Droit Public" of Eer-,pe. Indeed, it
is farther alleged, that accounts ware transmitted to Vi-
enna, and that when Lord Castlereagh signified, in eon,.
sequenco of the remonstrances of Prince Talleyrand, that
the question on maritime rights was discussed in Belgium,
the British Minister was distinctly informed, that nothing
of this kind had been in any form introdnced as matter of
deliberation with the Plenipotentiaries at Gle-nt.
Here there seems to he an error somewhere. The di-
plomatiSts appear to have given OM another the conteadl-
tion llat. In good truth, we should hope that Talleyrand
was rght ; for never would we wish—never, do we most
devoutly hope—never, do we most confidently trust, to
hear of a discussion as to Maritime RightS, -except t the
cannons mouth. And such, we nra convinced, li:ei been
t. the conduet of his Majesty's Minifters.
I The saee conductor of The Times affects to disbelieve
that there is any intimacy or connection between the
Bourbons, and " the successor of the noted Joel Barlow,
4i at Paris, and the American Commissioners at Ghent. It
i is imagined that through thibecirePitous channel, the lat-
I ter receive the consolation of a certain party in 'the
'French Cabinet ; but the 'Kiiiig, and the more respect-
able part of the Fri...nch Government knew too well what
k due to their honour, to held out hopes of support to a
fiction, the most voluntafy servile of all the vassals et
Buonaparte. We strongly suspect that however well
Donis the I Sth may know *hat "-is due to his own 11011-
(41r" that he will not be deaf to his own Interests, merely
1 because Mr. Crawford was appointed by Mr. Madison.
As to the war in America, the public mind remains in a
great ferment on the subject of the disasters that have re-
i cently attended the British arms, To justify past del
