THE NATIONAL REC7ISTTI'•

THE CONGRESS :

We have still the tiresome tale to repeat that it continues,
so far as the Assembly of Sovereigns at Vienna will consti-
tote. it, hut as to any beneficial operation it seems to be a
perfect dead letter. We are perhaps wrong.in saying that it
continues ; but the error is but technical, for we pay no at-
tention to the ieport that is to be opemed on a given -lay.
We repaid the emits that have already developed them-
selves as indicative of the different Sovereigns having taken
the ground they purpose to occupy, and that they will prove
themselves piepaied to defend it.

The circumstance announced last week of the occupatiln
a all .Sixotty by the troops of Pi ossia, ceded by Prince
ui.der an order from his Sovereign, and this Order
st:kting that it was in consequence of a treaty made between
Austria and Prussia, and sanctioned by Russia and England,
Las excited no small share of a‘stonilunent, in consequence
of some discussion in Parliament on this interesting subject.
Vansittart has declared, that up to the 1 lth of No.
vember, the date of Lord Cas!lereagh's dispatches, he bad
heard nothing of such a proposition, and, of course, the
consent of his Noble colleague to the measure could not have
heen ob!aineW We are then to •helieve, either that the
Lord has not informed his colleagues of the events
that have taken place; or, that Prince Repnin has Lode a
'all mistake.

It is true all the Paris Papers since icceived avow that the
fite. of Saxony is not decided; that the occupation of that
i:ingdoin is as provisional by the Pruslan as it was by the
hessian troops; and that on the result of the Congress•de
pends its final disposition.
The crafty policy of Itussia appears to cause the difficulty'
A!exander, aware of the in:policy of his grandmother in op-
piessing the Poles, sears to will to attach them to his In-
tel est, and make them instrumental to his designs on Turkey.
From some accounts, it should appear, that Lord Castlereagh
is fearful of this citcutnstance, and has, it is said, protc:;ted
-trongly against any measure that shall go to destroy the in-
dependence of the Duchy of ‘Varsaw. In our former par:rs
we stated our reasons fir believing that Russia would insist
on the restoration of Poland entire, for the purpose Of its
ailing her in her projects on Turkey. For, with Poland in
state of cordial and willing obedience, though at the same
iitime only nomin;:l indepeedence, the Russian army will he
to cross the Danube, and perhaps the period will not be
1:114 before we hear of the advance of the legions of Alex-
ander towards Constantinople.

The best illustration of his VIM.; is to he found in his
appointment of Czerni Geo, ge as a Russ an officer, with the
title of ince ; fi. by !cue's from Czeinowitz, of the
26th of October, we find it announced, that on the 19th of that
nionth, the letropolitan, of Lecoia, arrived at that p' e.
lie wa.i followed by two Lecoiau Gencral, and on the 2ttb

DEC. 4.

by the celebrated Georges Petrowiez (ezerniGeolges) who
was received with distinction, and proceeded dheolv to
Cholim. This officer, with Ali Pasha and the Bishop of
Monte hike, may be said to possess the valuable part of
European Turkey. If Alexander avails himself of the as-
sistance of these individuals in the western parts, and passes
ael oss the South from the Eastern with his own troops, he
will speedily realize what hithet,to has seemed but a dream—
the establishment of a Greek Emperor, and, relhaps, it may
not be long before he is saluted Grzecorum Imperator.

While Russia appears to be thus ihg the foundation of
future enterprize, Austria is pursuing her plans (gin Italy.
The conduct of urat &ls no reason to conclude that he
will readily give in his resighation.

Many changes ate tasked of in the neighbouihnod of
namburgh. Ce!.sions and sJes of ten itory, are said to be
taking place. In short, the Buonapatte system of de•tioying
all th t k old for the purpose of erecting something new,
hut without either its good sense or talent, appeals to be
call it'd into ef'ef t. The result of this system we dread, and
.paitieularly for its eflerq on Prussia. if she is obli!ted to
give up Saxony, it is by no means unli!,-ely that the may
require Hanover, and, possib!y, Holland. The latter at range-
ment is by no means improbable, as it will be the supposed
interest of the Allied Powers to erect a third naval Power.
