the conkderates; to intimidate them with the prospect of
deserved punishment ; and above ail, to throw out a half
hint that BUON.ipARTE is not unacquainted with proposals
made then% on the part of Austria. An important conclusion
we may, however, dr::w from this lettei-; the subjects of
ti confederate Princes 3'C disposed to rise ::gainst their
Governments in favour of Austria. T; :s we long since
expected. The two kingly Inc:l:hers the league hale
been always obaoxious:to their suirj::cts—aas aria and Wur-
temberg ; the former oa account of religious innovations
disagieea to the great majority of the Bavarians; the latter
on account of his private character, as well as system of Go-
vernment; he is a tyrannic father, and a tyrannic regent. The
former causes of discon tent arc now ulcered,in consequence of
the conseriptioa and the lons of German independence, into
inveterate abhorrence of their Sovereigns. The venerable
grand Duke of BAnEN, respectable for his private virtues, is
converted into a mere cypher, since the marriage of his
grandson with a niece of ad. BONAPARTE. If he had even
the power and the will to act against Austria, his means are
extremely limited and precarious. The greater part of
of his territofy consists of provinces, which a few years
belo!Ked to the House of Austria. The same remark
is true with regard to Bavaria, Wurtemberg and the other
members of the Rhenish confederacy—The acquired pro-
inces, which surpass in size their ancient possessions,
have not forgot their antient attachments, and will display
:t marked reluctance to co-operate in the %ICUS of their new
re:;ents. The same observation is true with regard to
W•stultalia, to flanover, and even to Saxony--They
detest the Lew order of things. The former impressions,
the Old attachments, have acquired vigour from adversity ;
rand they look up to the success of Austria, fur the restora-
tion of w hat they so ardently desire.

An alarming accident occurred on Thursday.night. to. Mn.e
Arley, of Charlotte-street, Mary-le-1)1)one, occasioned by her
clothes taking tire. She had returned from the Opera•house,
accompanied by her son and three daughters, the latter of whom
were in the heft. room when the accident happened. The back
part of her dress was drawn into the fire by the draft of the '
rhimnev, and being of a light substance, she was in a moment in
a Wave. An alarto was itumediately spread through the house,
httt t!le bed-curtains hail taken fire before any of the servants
could get up stairs, and the roam was quite destroyed. Mrs.
Arley was saved by the exertions of her eldest daughter, but is.
