DITTCII ALAIL.

BERLIN, DEC. 3.—lt is pretended
.that three
cotnaers, one after another, brought news from
the Congress that WAS fat from satisfactory.
Later letters 'are rather more favourable, and af-
firm that the points in d:spute are amicably ad-
justed.. The Congress is expected to close by the
end of the year. .

STOCK HOLM, Nov. 23.—When-tbe Deputies of
the Norwegian Diet had their' audience of the
Crown Prince at- nederiekshall, Count Wedel
Jarlsberg made a speech, in which he said that
the Norwegian Diet had proclaimed Charles XIII.:
on the 4th, and his heirs, according to the
order •of succession of Sept. 26, 1810 ; that
thus two ancient-kingdoms which the Creator had'
united togethen, would be bound in common ties;
that the happy hour was -arrived, in which Nor-
wiegans and Swedes could embrace as. brothers,
who had one father in common, that it had been
reserved for Charles XIII:- and his worthy son to
accoMplish the glorious work of the Union ;, that
the Norwegians greatly regretted that his Ma-
.F.Ay's weak state of health
.would not allow of
his vis.ting them in this rigorous season;--
that they wished therefore, that his Royal
Ltsghttess and his promising son would repair
to the Capital of Norway, and receive the
assurances of the love and.alle,,-;iance (.1 the People
of Norway to their-new King, and at the saute
time give them an opportunity of bebolding a
i'rince o- f such rare qualifications and distinguish-
ed virtues-, %%Ito wits destiped one day to wear the

ANTWERP, DEC. I L---Our political situation, is
really remark:o)le. If t he wishes of the Belgians were
attended to, they would nothe nnitcd to Holland.
If the wishes of the Dutch were lsteped.to,_ they
'would equally reject a union which they appear: to
I. dislike as much as we -do. They consider the
opening/of the Schehit as a calaMity for Holland,
and we consider the, junction -of oir trade with
that 0f,,4 ollaml as injurious to us. -In a word,
our union is like those ill-assorted marriages
which Princes sometimes contract for political
purposes. There subsists in this case certainly
an incompatibility of humour and Character, and
above all, an incompatibility of interests. The
only points upon which all parties agree are-,
all are discontented, and that the Sovereign Prince
of the Low Countries is- the only one who has
any reason to be pleased. We do enOt hesitate to
say, that if the Belgians had the power of choos-
ing their own condition, there first wish would he
to be absolutely independent, like Switzerland,
which would give them a rank arnors A- nations like
the Dutch and the Swiss. As they feel that they
cannot return to Austria. Their second wish is
to be restored to. France. If neither of these
wishes can be granted, they I'vould, prefer being '
,under the dominion of the English. Such are our
national wishes. Our union with ,Holland would
'certainly. be the last choice we should make. ..The
Dutch confes;- that they consider the op2ning of
the Scheldt as' their ruin. They say they, pur-
chased that preat national- benefit at the Treaty
of Utrecht. It is true, that the Treaty. of
UtreCht put them in possession of both banks
'of the river, and that they erected forts to con-
trout the. 'navigation ; but
.such a claim is as
absurd and ante-social, as if a man were to pur-
chase grohnd with the intention to leave it.with-
out culture.--(Gazette de France).
VIENNA, DL. 4.,--Tournaments are at present
highly fashionable in this capital ; there- will be
one next Alpnday. Every precaution has been
taken to prevent accident's from the crowd.

We are assured that before General boiler set
out for Elba he ha,d a long interview with the
Archbishop of Vienna.- As every one knows the
consideration in which the Archbishop is held at
the Court of Austria, it is supposed that the con-
ference nlated to the divorce-of the ArchdUchess
Maria-Louisa. ,

Those persons:N.olo announcNl that they -xvcrild
on the 10 h, publish all the Articles of the Con-
gress, amounting' to 345 (the number of the days
of the year that haVeelapsed) have postponed their
intention to an indefinite period. The last ver-
sion is, that the Ministers-of the Great Powers
have agreed that the Kingdoni of Saxony should be
established; that Prussia shall retain Torgau and
Wittenberg ; that the territories of Austria shall
be rounded by'the district of Vogtland ; and that
the right of the Vistula shall serve as a frontier
to Russia. -Nothing is said of the pavicipatibu of
Fiance and England in this arrangement.
Reports arc .now in circulation -ot marriages.
The Dnehess of Oldenbargh, would at present he

Sovereigns whom the Politicians have -selected
