EkPIIACT OF A LtTrllt FROM VIENNA, DEC.' 15:

cite discussions with regard to -Saxony, we
liear'that, a counter-dectanit,ioa will shortly be
,made b Russia and Prussia.:
There is'talk here of a new. organization of the
Saxon L'andwehr by Prussia, %vitt), generally
speaking, means to niake no changes in the ad-
ministration of Saxony, but merely to regulate the
systent cif hontedefenee on, a more equitable and
easy footing. .1;t has been remarked that the
young Saxon volunteers, who, joined the Prussian
colours in :melt numbers during the late ‘‘'ar, ge-
nerally prefer remaining the Prussian service,.
and that very k of theta return to civil pur-
suits.

The Kin,g of IViitendierg has delivered in an
energetic protest against the-project of giving the
fortress of 111eotz to Bavaria. Similar prote3ts are
expected from other Gertqarl

LETTER FROM VIENNA OF THE 16TH. •

We understand from current cominunications,
that there is, now no more Jan: of continuing
.11amburgh in its present fortified state, as its si-
tuation no respect fits it for protecting any of
those sides of Germany that -are likely- to be
threatened. Proportionally greater- attention,
.however, will be bestowed on the strengthening
.0 the Rhenish boundary, which bears an inti-
mate connection with the defence of Belgium,
which country indeed cannot be separated from
Germany in'. a military point of view.
Since! the middle (4.october we have had such
uncommonly •rinfavourable 'weather, that since
th2it time we can scarcely mention -a single tole-
.rably fair day.- We have had nothing but dense
fogs, rain', or a gloomy atmosphere.- There was
a slight fail of snow on 'the 3d and:6th of Decem-
ber, and. the other morning the tops of the stir-
rittinding mountains were seen covered. with snow.
In the night of the -llth,- we were:surprised by a
storm of thunder and lighruing ; and •libout tuid7
ni,ht "of the 12th, the shock of.an earthquake was
felt, but 'it Was so slight as scarcely to be perccp,
tilde. Among other recent arrivals here, is that

INTELLIGENCE - F1t0:11 INDIA.

EXTRACT OF 4 LETTER FROM THE WESTERN

I;RONTIER.

From the Puniah, we learn, that Mirza Kamran
had joined MohntOo.d Shah at Peshaieur ; awl
they there„received accounts that some rebels had
seized Kandahar, which is the Prince's Govern-
ment or appanage. This intelligenc.c convinced
the Shah his best policy would be to defer hostile
operations against Runject Singh, and subdue
the intestine commotions in his own dominious.
A kind of peace has been concluded, by the terms
of which, Runject Singh is to,. -surrender Attock,
upon the Shah acquiring and delivering Moulton.
The forces of Ituojeet Singh are all recalled to
Lahore.

Our- letters from Agra mention the visit of Lady
Hood to that city, where she had arrived about
the middle of last month. Her Ladyship's party
consisted of Colonel and. Mrs. Mackenzie, Capt.
Lindsay, and Lieut. Barton ; Major Lamsdaine,
the Commissary-General, Air: Plowdenfrom
Kal-
pee, and Mr. Matjoribanks front- Cod, had.. also
arrived at Agra and: this:, unusual. concourse of
visitors contributcti grepuly to enliven the society
of that station. Her Ladyship had-. viewed the
'raj, and, like all former travellers, had been asto-
nished and delighted 14
.the beauty of that cele-
brated:edifice ; she has ordered drawings of it and
other .buildinl s,. which are preparing • under -her
own inspection. On the 21st, her Ladyship paid
it visit to tliesonof tiajah Chyt- Singh, the famous
Teodal Lord of Bemires.- ,She afterwards saw the
water-works,-and the Sheelm wLich was
:illuminated on the occasion. -The party will pro-
ceed to Futteltpoor-Sikree,--und thence to Blm-
poor, Htirdwar, amt Loodhiana:, liewing-rvery
thing remarkable on. tilt:road.
