of the Austrian contingent, on ate French territory,
is appointed to the c':iief command in the kingdom of
Venice ; gaol Count Bubna to the same high post in
Lombardy. A report is nentioned in these papers, to
the effeet that .the Empernr of Russia wish. d to cede
the Polish kingdom to kfia.brother Constantine, and to
indemnify hinrelf in the South of Europe; but that
France resists the proposition.
We cannot collect the slightest information trout the
Flemish papers, as to the actual causes of the late ar.:

letter front Hamburgh, datel Nov. 10, states,
that the existing laws of customs araescise, which
were only enacted provisionally in the year 1811., are
ordered to continue in fliree another year: Lari;e sums
in specie, chiefly consisting of five franc pieces, had
been remitted final England: but the scarcity ofnion4
ca le.inued to be sensibly as the exportation of
gold and silver, both coined and in bars, to Russia, still
remained a good commercial speculation. • A merchant:
of I famburgh had recently dispatched to Petersburgh
gold to the value of 1,500,000 francs; it was conveyed
in two post chaises, under the escort of two of his
clerks. A Colonel in the Danish service, named M,r.
ncr, has been presented, by the Senate, with a yawl.
Me service of plate, on the occasion of his return front
Franklbrt, where he assisted at the meetings of the
military Diet. M. Haffner commanded at Altona, in
the year 1813, at the time Marshal Davoust was in
possession of Hamburg!), when he repeatedly employed
his good offices in favour of the city, and is supposed,
by his influence, to have inclined the Marshal to more
favourable terms, during the nemociations carried on at
Hamburgh. Accounts from Criipenhagen state, that
one of the principal war commissaries there, who hail
been convicted of embezzlement, has been condemned
by the high tribunal to five years' imprisonment in the
House of Correction.

The American papers assert, that orders. have been
issued by the Government of the United States, Jim the
indemnification of those British merchants who had
suffered from an erroneous exaction of duties in the
ports of the United States during the summer of
by immediately repaying them the amount of the duties
thus wrongfully demanded. The Paulo papers present
us with the decision of .Judge Nen Ness, in the Sontl.
ern district Court of New York; whereby it is settled
that the United States will not take cognizance of acts
of hostility committed upon the Spanish flag, in vessels
fitted out from the ports of the Union, by naturalized
citizens of the United Provinces of South America.—
This is justly characterized as a highly important de-
cision.

Lord Mu!grave, it is said, retires from the Master-
Generalship of the Ordnance. The uncertain state of
his Lordship's health is assigned us the cause. We are
not without hopes, that the salary of %his office may, at
least in time of peace, be saved to the public, by the
amalgamation of the duties with those sonic other
bureau.

Tuesday W. D. Best, F.sq. was appointed one of the
Judges of the Court of King's Bench ; and It. Rich-
ardson, Esq one of the Judges 'of the Court of Com-
mon Pleas. Nir. Serjeant Copley is expected to be
the new Chief Justice of Chester, vice Mr. Serjlant
Best.

Guilford, Wednesday Evening, Nov. 25, 181 P—
. Serjeant Best has officially announced, this day.
that he has accepted the high office of Judge, ant will
set out front this place on Friday next. This circum-
stance has caused a great bustle in the town of Guild-
ford. Mr. Frankland, of Lashing, has been very active
in canvassing•, but his political creed will not go down
with the Gentlemen of the Corporation ; therefore, Mr.!
C. B. Wall has been fixed upon to suceelil the Hon!
Sergeant. Mr. Wall, with his uncle, Sir Thom.;s
Baring, accompanied by the principal inhabitants of
Guildford, immediately commenced a canvass, in which
they met with the most decided success. Mr. Wail has
the best claim upon the inhabitants of Guildford of any
in the neighbourhood. We believe his politics to be
free and unziassect, and we believe hint to be a sincere
friend to religious toleration.
Loan ELLeNuottonort.—His Lordship, we arc ex•
tremely sorry to announce, is considered to be in a
worse state than he has been tor some time before. The
Bishop of Chester is arrived in town to at tend his sui
fering brother.
