THE TREATY OF VIENNA.

The Russian Ambassador has had several in-
terviews with the Earl of Aberdeen and the
Duke of Wellington. The Duke, we under-
stand, has been strongly urged to interfere in
behalf of the King of the Netherlands ; and the
Ambassador has declared that he is bound to
do so by the treaty of Vienna. A Cabinet
Council assembled this afternoon after twelve
o'clock, and remained in deliberation until nearly
seven. The result did not transpire ; but it is
believed the question has not been decided.
Messengers were despatched to the Continent,
but for what purpose we do not pretend to say.
it is asserted in the best informed circles, that
in
terference,
on King has declared against any
on the ground of impolicy, although he wishes
good faith to be kept. This evening, a mes-
senger was sent off to the King at Brighton ;
and the Duke of Wellington intends to visit
his Majesty immediately. The opinion of the
Duke, three weeks ago, was, that the separation
of Belgium from Holland should not be per-
mitted ; but circumstances have changed, and so,
we trust, has the Duke's opinion.
As the treaty of Vienna (25th March, 1815)
has been again alluded to, although we have suf-
ficiently stated our opinion on the subject else-
where, we Wall give the substance of that treaty
here, that our readers may have an equal oppor-
tunity with ourselves of coming to an impartial
,judgment on the subject of so much importance.
The parties to the treaty are the King of Eng-
land, the Emperors of Austria .and Russia, and
the King of Prussia. The preamble states,
that the treaty had been entered into in con-
sideration " of the invasion of France by Napo-
leon Bonaparte," and the danger to the safety
of Europe which might ensue " from the actual
situation of that kingdom ;" and expresses the
determination of the Allied Powers to apply to
the case of France " the principles consecrated
by the treaty of Chaumont (Ist March, 1814.)
By the first Article, the Allied Powers engage
to unite their arms, " for the purpose of maul-
ing entire the treaty of peace concluded at Paris
on the 30th March, 1814," and " the stipula-
tions determined upon
at the Congress of
Vie 'nat to " preserve them against all infringe-
iT►enit,ri,tiid particularly against the designs of
Napoleon Bonaparte." By the second Article,
the contracting parties agree to keep each in the
field a force of 150,000 men. By the third,
they agree. not to lay down their arias " until

the objects of the war, designated in the
first article," shall be attained. Article 4th
runs thus :—" The present treaty being prin-
cipally applicable to the present circum-
stances, the stipulations of the treaty of
Chaumont, and particularly those contained in
the 16th Article of the same, shall be again in
force as soon as the object actually in view shall
have been attained." Article sth refers the ar•
rangement of details to a separate convention.
Article 6th relates to the appointment and
powers of the Commanders of the Allied forces.
In Article 7th the other Powers are invited to
join in the treaty. Article Bth, which we
have noticed elsewhere, we shall here give at
length.—" The present treaty having no other
end in view but to support France, or any other
country which may be invaded, against the en-
terprises of Bonaparte and his adherents, his
Most Christian Majesty shall be specially in-
vited to accede hereunto ; and, in the event of
his Majesty's requiring the forces stipulated in
the second article, to make known what assist-
ance circumstances will allow him to bring for-
ward in furtherance of the object of the present
treaty."
His most Christian Majesty, it is well known,
declined the invitation through the Prince de
Talleyrand ; and the refusal of the latter to ad-
here to this treaty was one of the must popular
acts of his political life. 41,
The 16th Article of the treaty of Chaumont,
to which allusion is made above, is as follows :
" As it is the object of the present treaty of
defensive alliance to maintain the balance of
power in Europe, to insure the repose and in-
dependence of the different Powers, and to pre-
vent the arbitrary violations of the rights and
territories of other States, by which the world
has suffered for so many years together, the con-
tracting Powers (the same as in the treaty of
Vienna) have agreed to fix the duration of the
present treaty for twenty years ; reserving it to
themselves, if circumstances should require it, to
proceed to the prolongation of it three years be-
fore its expiration."

Perhaps it would be difficult to frame an
arrticle that more expressly prohibits all interfe-
rence than this does, unless when an " arbitrary
violation of the rights and territories of other
States," is attempted. If Prussia enter Holland,
we might, by strict interpretation of the treaty
of Chaumont, be bound to resist her troops.
There was another treaty of Vienna, besides
the one of which we have given a summary. It
was never published, the cause of its being en-
tered into having been of a temporary nature.
It is only worth noticing because of the curious
fact that the Emperor of Russia was not one of
the contracting parties. It was indeed framed
with a view to hold him in check. So much
for the strength of that bond which united the
four Allied Powers, only ten short months after
the treaty of Chaumont I The second treaty
of Vienna was dated January, 1815.—Spectator.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

?dANSION.HOUSE.

Yesterday Mr. Hunt's charge a jainst Mr. Tickner
was formally brought before the LORD MAYOR.
Mr. Hunt stated to the Lord Mayor that he had
applied at the office of the Commissioners of Sewers
on the preceding day, to know whether • the 321.
which Mr. Tickner said he had paid had or had not
been paid, and he had received an answer in the
negative, with, however, a request that he would
call in the morning, when he should be answered
more particularly. He had called accordingly, but
he could get no information. Mr. Tickner would,
however, most probably be able to explain.
Mr. Tickner—The books are here, and now what
is your specific charge against me ? Mr. Hunt—l
charge you, that being one of the public officers of
the City, a Common Councilman of the Ward of
Farringdon without, you appropriated to your own
use a quantity of pavement belonging to the City of
London. lam prepared with evidence, and I con-
tend that it is a great act of impropriety in any
public officer to be concerned in the purchase
or sale of any property so circumstanced. He then
proceeded with his proofs.
John Dwyer, a labourer, had been employed by
Mr. Dupree twelve years, and had left him on the
28th of lust September. He now worked for a
Mr. Barton, in Bartholomew-close. (Here he pro-
duced a written character from Mr. Dupree). He
had worked for Mr. Dupree during the new paving
of Fleet-street. Part of the old pavement had bees
taken to Mr. Tickner's tan-yard, at Bermondsey,
and part to the City stone-yard.
The LORD MAYOR—Did you see the stones taken
to Mr. Tickner's yard ? Witness had assisted in
loading Mr. Tickner's cart with the atones, but be
had not seen them conveyed to Bermondsey.
Mr. Hunt--It is admitted that the stories are
there ? Mr. Tickner—Certainly I admit the fact.
Witness could not on his oath say how many
toes of the stones had been carried to Mr. Tickner's
yard. He thought there were about 250 tons.—
Fifteen or sixteen men were laying them down for
five or six weeks in the yard and the entrance to the
premises.
Mr. Tickner addressed the Lord Mayor. Ho was
prepared to prove the gross falsehood of the imputa-
tion against him. It was true that Mr. Dupree
had been employed by the house to which he be-
longed to repair the pavement of the tan-yard, and
that that gentleman had purchased of the Commis-
sioners of Sewers 60 tons of the old granite which
had been taken out of Fleet-street. That stone had
been purchased at the highest price, and there were
clerks and vouchers present in proof of the correct-
ness and integrity of the whole proceeding. In the
bill furnished to the house, the item of 32/. 3s. 9d.
appeared for the old pavement furnished by Mr.
Dupree, which sum Mr. Dupree had paid to the
Commissioners. He should prove by the evidence
of i surveyor that the value had been given for the
material, and if Mr. Hunt was not satisfied lie would
pay any other surveyor most willingly for ascertain-
ing that fact. Mr. Tickner then said that it appeared
to be a humiliating thing to be the subject of a charge
of fraud, with which he would certainly have been
ceihtayrgtocalliiiise if
fwhr u
he
trail
llasde ;ppropriteed the property of the
but he would most willingly,
if it was found that he had given one farthing less
for the material than it was worth, admit the justice
of the imputation. He had conceived that it was
quite as fair for Mr. Dupree to purchase the atone
from the Commissioners for him as for others, but
an evil and injurious construction had been put upon
that transaction,

Mr. Hunt—You stated that some of the stone had
been sold to Mr. M'Adam.
Tickner should prove that it had been sent
to the city-yard to be broken up for Mr. NPAdain,
to whom it had bean d►sposed of. He had the books
of the Com►nissioners of Sewers, which were evi-
dence by Act of Parliament.

After. a great deal of unimportant matter was
stated upon both sides,—
Mr. Hunt said the transaction appeared to him to
be quite as extraordinary Et 3 he expected to find it.
lie was happy that he had brought forward the case.
Mr. Tickner bad acted improperly, and, he thought,
illegally. The Members of the House of Commons,
which the Court of Common Council imitated,
dared not to act in sock a manner.
The Loup MAvort—l have heard all, and I must
say, Mr. Hunt, that your charge is not sustained.
Mr. Hunt---I don't say it has been sustained.
The parties then left the Justice-room.
BOWATRIttr.
Larry Heiman, Jerry lieernan, and Timothy
Barrow, three sons of the sister kingdom, whose

features had been made to bear a striking resemblance
to each other by the application of divers and sundry
black eyes, broken noses, and other " marks," too
numerous to mention, were yesterday brought before
Mr. MINSHULL, by Police-serjeant Rogers, and some
of his " privates,' charged with having done serious
damage to the head of John Murray, a friend of
their's, with a quart. pot. Murray was said to have
received so much injury as to render his removal to
the hospital necessary, and to make the time of his
appearance before the Bench, to give his evidence, a
matter of uncertainty.
In the mean time there was no testimony forth-
I coming to bring home to either of the prisoners the
commission of the assault with the pot; but there
was abundance to prove that they were more active
and sprightly in the " skrimmage ' than any of the
other boys engaged in it. The scene of the row was
a public-house, situate in More-street, St. Giles's,
where the defendants, their friend Murray' and many
others, their " friends and countrymen,' had assem-
bled for relaxation, after the exercise of their import-
ant and fatiguing duties at the King's College during
the day. Whether it was a question of mathematics
or theology which led to the breach of the peace
none of the witnesses could tell, but the majority
agreed that in the midst of " the taalk" some jontle-
man gave the lie to another jontleman, which jontle-
man was not Mr. Timothy Barrow; but that never-
theless Mr. Timothy Barrow " up with his crutch"
and knocked that jontleman on the head, " which of
coorse" was the signal for a general skrimrnage, and
as they all " took and gave" according to their abi-
lity, it was only Jack Murray's bad luck that he got
so much of it, " and no fault of their's."
The defendants, one and all, declared that they
" took it the airiest of any of 'em," and that in fact
" they was not in condition to do much that night
in regard of fightin."
Mr. Timothy Barrow solemnly averred that "the
crutch went to work, assisted by the quart pot, but
nobody could see who held 'em 1" He was quite
sute he did not, and so said his companions.
Mr. MINSHULL, notwithstanding, ordered them to
be detained in custody until John Murray shall be
well enough to appear and give his evidence.
