\,rnakt.fte, DEC.I2.'-:-It is -gener;tlly affirthed -to-
day, eWti fmonk 'persons Ravin;; a tUpleniiatic
elirraeiter, that the fate of Saxony is settled. -13ut .
if one asks whether the Convention on this bead
is signed, they do not venture to reply in the at-
.
firmative, but content themselves with saying,
that t'he MiniMers are agreed, and the discussion
terMinated. A few days must dedide. Th A6li..
vitv of the Congress become greater every day ;
the whole begins now to be properly a diplomatic
process. The Princess and Counts have added to
their energetic Remonstrance of the 16th, an
equally energetic Note, which they have pre-
sented. 'Not a word certain about the departure
of the Sovereigns. The Congress, as this INiote
shews, will be either protracted or terminated all
at once by the publication of Mnifestos.
The Powers are agreed about Poland, Saxony,
Belgium, and the left bank
,of the Rhine, but
England's approbation of what has been resolved
is still wanting. Of all, the principal Powers at
tlie Congress; Lord Castlereagh is the only Am-
,' bissador whose Sovereign is not present, and who ,
is consequently obliged to, obtain from n distance
the approbation of his proceedings.. 'Every body
conceives, that as the various publications_ are
thereby delayed, which Were promised in the mid
-
die of this month, it easily happened that the
public inferred more unpleasant reasons, and went
in their conjectures still further.
NsrLEs, Nov, 28.—Our Moniteur of the Two
Sicilies contradicts officially the articles in the
Journal des Debats, of the sth Noveniber, assert-
- ing, that the Neapolitan troops had occupied
Pcsaro,'and placed a guard before the house of
the Prince of Peace, and that General Luche was
advancing from AnconalowardsPescaro, where be
would join Gen. Carrascosy, and advance to the
frontiers of the Kingdom of Italy. All this h
false, there are no Neapolitan troops in Urbino,
or Pesaro; Gen. Luche's division, which was as-
sewbled only to be exercised near Naples; is dis-
banded ; all our troops in the provinces are gone
into cantonments. Those near the capital ,are
often reviewed by the King. •
It is inconceivable what could be the intention
of the calumnious adthors of these articles ! Do
they not know that these Provinces are occupied
by the Austrian troops, and that the strictest alp.
-liance connects the policy and the interest of the
Court of Naples 'with those of the Court of
Vienna ? The Neapolitan army will not pass the
frontiers occupied by it unless Austria should re-
quire the contingent which, by the treaty of alli*
ante, the King is_bound to ftirnich in ease of a
war in Italy, an event of which there is not at
this moment the least probability. The Princess
of Wales is still here ; it is not known whither
she will go next ; sonic say that she will visit Pa-
hernia and Messina, others that she will- go to
1 Corfu, .

FLORENCE, DEC. s.—Lord Burgbersh, eldest
son of Lord Westmoreland, is at last arrived here,
and bad yesterday the honour to present his cre-
dentials to his Royal Highness,, as British Mi-
nister at our Court.—(Frankfort Post•Ofice Ga-
zette, Dec.l9.)

At the last fair, a young Englishman bought
ail the political caricatures that have lately ap-
peared in Germany. Among them was ono epre-
seating Buonaparte as an Eagle in a great Cage ;
a Prussian? a Russian, an Austrian, an English-
man, and a Swede, arc standing round him,
plucking out his feathers. It happened that the
Englishman was represented pulling him by tho
tail. This patriotic countryman no sooner ob-
served this, than he exclaimed, full of indigna-
" The print lies—the Englishman does not
take the Eagle by the tail, but always by the
head." • On this he purchased the whole stock,
and tore the prints into a thousand pieces.--(Cor-
.
respondent of and for Germany, Dec. 16.)

Though so.little is yet known of the reswlts of
the CongresS, yet enough hasitranspired to inform
the obServant politician of the views and leanings
of the Great Powers, on the various questions
which have undergone anxious though friendly
discussion. Accordingly, it may be said, that of
the four great Allied Powers, Russia and Priissia
',lye generally acted together on one side, and
Austria and England On the other. In the great
questions respecting Poland and Saxony, France
has also substantially accorded with Englaild and
Austria ; but there are other points of- discus-
.-.
sion on which the. views and interests of France
by no means coincide with thoseof Austria and
England. The prudent conduct. and pacific system
of Louis XVIII. will be found to have increased
rether than- diminished the influence of France.
However, though not only France, but Spain,
Portugal, and Sweden, •as being parties to the
peace of Paris, must necessarily take part in the
Congress, still it is undeniable that the four At-
lied Powers, Austria and England, Russia and
Prussia, occupy the most important part. Among
the German Powers, Bavaria connects herself
with Austria, and Wurtemberg on the other hand
with Russia.
