diers endure with impatience. For some days the
irritation of their minds was increased by the
punishment inflicted upon a sergeant decorated with
the cross of St. George, fur some error in discipline.
" The discontent of the regiment was at the ex-
treme, when on Saturday evening, the 23th, Ow
soldiers were commanded to hold themselves in ma-
dicers tier a grand manoeuvre on Sunday morning.—
Complaints arose in every quarter; it was said that
the Colonel had no right thus to harrass the regi-
ment, and to deprive toeui of rest on Sunday, which
is respected throughout the entire Russian army.—
Their spirits were elevated, and the soldiers of the
first company sent twenty of their men to the Colo-
nel's quarters, to declare that they would not obey
him. Not finding the Colonel at home, they broke
the windows of his house. _ _ _

" This state of insubordination continued during
the whole of Sunday, the 29th. The General who
commanded the division ut the Go:l.as, not being
able to gain them over, ordered the soldiers of this
company to a grand drill. Th.:), declared that they
would not resist, but that they preierred exposing
themselves to every punishment, rather than remain
under the command of their Colonel. They were
ordered to the fortress, whith.r they went widiout
hesitation.

The remainder of the regiment quickly gave
the same example of resistance, and the same resig-
nation to punishment. Being called together on the
:;oth to the parade, the soldiers went without their
anus, and in their gray cupotes. Gen. Poleinson,
their firmer Colonel, who was very much beloved,
proceeded to form them into tat, battalions, but
they immediately broke their ranks, and declared
they would execute no manoeuvres until they saw the
first co npany at their head. /Vier three hours'
useless attempts, they were ordered to the citadel,
where they immediately surrendered themselves
prisoners.
VIENNA, Nov. 16.—We hear nothing particular
from Troppau • some accounts say that the Ambas-
sadors of England and France continue to endeavour
to set up for their Courts a system of neutrality
with respect to Naples. The English Amb:,ssador
comes to Vienna almost every week.
FRANKFORT, Nov. 23.—The following account,
though containing some repetition of circumstances
already published, will perhaps be found interesting
at the present moment, as exhibiting a general view
of what is thought of the results of the conferences
at Troppau
" All the letters from Vienna agree in saying
that Russia and Prussia have given their full con-
sent to the military occupation of the kingdom of
Naples by an Austrian army. The cabinet of Ber-
lin had already declared bethrehaud to the court of
Vienna that it would observe a strict neutrality
with respect to Italy, without recognizing the legi-
timacy of the new order of things established at
Naples, but that it would readily adhere to any
thing that the Emperor of Austria should concert
on this subject with the Emperor Aleander. The
Crown Prince of Prussia did not hesitate to confirm,
in the first confereneea, this assurance given by his
father, and it was therefore not necessary to await
.the King's arrival to take a final resolution on the
subject in the name of the three great powers of
Eastern Europe. Accordiagly on the 29th of Oct
after the first formal conferences, orders were des-
patched from Truppau to General Count Bellegarde,
President of the Council of War at Vienna, who
has succeeded Prince Schwartzenbere, to take mea
sures that the Austrian army stationed in Italy may
be ready to march. This order must have reached
the head-quarters at Treviso sonic time ago. It is
known that General Frimont, Commander-in-Chief
of the army of observation, had caused some corps
to retrograde, is order to facilitate the subsistence
of the troop.:, which had revived the hopes of main-
tenance of peace; but by subiequent orders all ihe
corps are concentrating on the left bank of the Po ;
and it is even said that some of the troops will be
stationed on the right bank. Nevertheless, there is
reason to believe that the Austrians will nut pass
the frontiers of Lombardy during the in mth of No-
vemb:T. The time of their advance will depend ou
the duration of the negotiation opened with the
Courts of .‘olue and Turin, as well 'as on the issue
of those which have been cart.) ing on since the
opening of the conferences at Troppau with the
King of Naples. At Vienna they seem to be per-
suaded that the occupation of the kingdom of Napl.:s
will not meet with any difficulties, and that the
war will be of very short duration. They think
that on the approach of the A titsrian army a counter
revoluti 111 l will put an end to the new order of
things, and that the ancient government of Ferdi-
nand, will be established without much bloodshed ;
for this reason Prince who enjoys the confi-
dence of King Ferdinand, will repair to the
head-quarters of the Austrian army, and will accom-
pany to Naples, to direct the neginiatioas on this
bead.

At the departure of the last letters (ram Vienna,
tned persvnt. had knowled,,e of a note pre.

rented to the Sovereigns assembled at Troppau, re-
lative to the affairs of Naples, by Lord Stewart,
the British Ambassador; but it was supposed that
this note would make no change in the execution of
the measures couccrted between the Cabinets of
Vienna, ts:t. Petersburgh, and Berlin.
" The war which is on the point of breaking out
in Italy is, however, not the only thing which
engages the public mind. This sear seems to be
but a part of the vast and imortant measures which
will emanate from the Coogress at Troppau, if the
accounts which are in circulation, and which have
not been officially contradicted, merit any confidence.
The Ministers of the Diet are hitherto in the same
uncertainty on this subject. No delegate of any
State whatever of the second rank is admitted to the
conferences at Troppau, or even on the spot, to make
his report. The Austrian police has even removed
from the trown all strangers who are not personally
attached to the Congress. Negotiations are said to
be on thot between several German Sovereigns to
take measures iu common, after the example of the
Great Powers, and to term a close alliance for the
protection of their mutual interests. Since the re•
port has b.en spread of a prolect to exchange two
Hanseatic cities for the cities of Dantsie and Thorn,
we, at Frankthrt, are not without alarm for the
independence of our tree city We, however, flatter
ourselves that the re-establishment of the kingdom
of Poland in favour of a great northern power will
meet with so many obstae,cs, that Prussia will not
be called upon to cede those two fortresses on the
Vistula which are situate!! in the midst of its terri-
tory. As for the formation of three great Protec-
torates, or the division of Continental Europe into
several great supremacies, it seems difficult to be-
lieve the possibility of such a plan.

" A Maritime Confederacy of the States lying on
the Baltic, of which Russia would be the head, is
said to be in contemplation. It is intended to regu-
late the commerce and navigation of that sea in such
a manner that the States on its coasts may hence-
forward derive more advantages from their geugru-
phical situation."

The Quebec Gazette, of the 24th, contains the
annual report of that useful and benevolent insti-
tution, " The emigrant society of Quebec." One of
their earliest objects was to form un establishment
for the sick, the helpless, and the infirm, for which
purpose one of the military buildings on Cape Dia.
mond was set apart by the permission of the govern.
ment, and, under the sanction of the inspector of
I hospitals ; the professional aid and medicines of the
medical department were furnished to these wretch.
ell strangers. The funds of the society, arising out
of annual subscriptions have not exceeded 6001. and
with that sum, independently of the assistance ren-
dered to the inmates of the hospital, who were 500
in number, from thirty to fbrtypelpless individuals,
had been supported, who must have perished with-
out such assistance. The society has also trans-
mitted addresses, and caused thehi to be circulated
in Great Britain and Ireland, with the view of
enlightening those persons who meditated emigra-
tion from the mother country, on the difficulties
they were likely to encounter, and had in conse•
quence reason to believe that though the tide
of emigrants was not expected to be lessened,
yet that the emigrants in general were of a better
class and description, with more substance, better
information, and clearer views. An article from
Montreal, dated October 28, states that the Metho-
dist Conference (commonly known by the name of
the Wesleyan Methodists) have come to the resolu-
tion of withdrawing their missionaries from the
upper province, in consequence, as is supposed, of
the difference existing between the British and
American missionaries in that part of Canada.
The Quakers, in several parts of tliccountry, have
celebrated the fate of the Bill of Pains and Penalties
by liberal subscriptions, for the purpose of providing
coals for their indigent neighbours.
Letters from Milan say that the PapalioGvernment
has acceded to the requisition of Austra to allow
the army to pass through the Roman States, on
condition that a convention shall be concluded for
the maintenance of West: troops during the time
they remain in the Roman territory. The conclu-
sion of this convention is at present negotiating at
Rome.

The remaining barriers near the House of Lords
were on Friday removed by the workmen connected
pith the lintrd of Works. Sentinels arc still sta-
tioned at the entrance to the House of Commons,
and bcthre the pa sags leading to Cotton garden ;
but there is not any sentinel at the entrance to
RAI hum:tit-street.

Sir A lexa in!erllamsay, Bart. of Balamin, Scot-
land, has intimated to his tenants that he does
not wish them to sell their grain at the prtsent
inadequate prices; and iu order to enable tnem to
wait for better times, has iv-sured them, that. their
ents due at Martinmas, will not be exacted fur
reveral months.

On Wednesday last Loudon exactly resembled a
besieged town—Cannon had been brought from
Woolwich sufficient to lay it in ruins, if it had been
ten times as extensive as it is : Horse Guards, Dra-
goons,Laneers, and Foot Soldiers of every description
surrounded it in numbers sufficient to have achieved
another battle of Waterloo ; and for what were all
these warlike preparations made ?—was it with the
•iew of protection to the Queen during her progress
to St. Paul's? No—for she was confidently safe
in the attachment of her sympathizing subjects. The
really Right Honourable the Lord Mayor, deter-
mined to preserve the peace of the City, and knowing
that the employment of the sabre and bayonet is in
England the least likely to effect such a purpose,
prohibited the entrance of a single soldier during the
day. We venture to assert, that if the peace had been
broken in any of the environs of the Metropolis, the
outrage would have owed its origin to that ill-timed
display, equally in our opinion unnecessary and un-
constitutional. Are Englishmen so lost to their
accustomed respect for the laws as to need being
dragooned into obedience on the occasion of their
Queen's attending at the Metropolitan Cathedral, to
return thanks for her deliverance from what History
will declare to have been the foulest conspiracy
that ever was defeated ?

It is reported that Ministers have re,igned, and
that Lord Grenville had receivad the *mammas of
