expressed, would have been an insult, and might
lather have proved a provocative to war than a

preventive of a measure so much and so justly

to be deprecated. Enough is implied in the em-
phatic declaration that France must undertake
the enterprise on her own ground, and 44 with
all the eventual risks of the contest."

Dutch Papers arrived this morning ; the fol-
lowing are extracts :
" ST. PETERSBURGIL, DEC. 12.—The reports
of war with the Porte begin again to prevail.
Every thing will, doubtless, he cleared up when
the Emperor returns. His Majesty is expected
at Warsaw on the 12th instant. General Lan-
gernun has received orders to meet the Emperor
either at Verona or some place on the road ; he
is to make a report to the Emperor, and to re-
ceive from him the new instructions.
44 VIENNA, DEC. 27.—1 t is here considered
certain that the Margraviate of Moravia will be
united with the Kinstdom of Bohemia, under the
same Governor, who will have the title of
Captain-General ; and tbat this high dignity is
intended for his Imperial Highness the Archduke
Charles. It was to his indefatigable exer-
tions that the rapid organization of sixty
Battalions of the Bohemian Legions was
owing, which astonished Europe, and is a
proof of the great resources of the House of
Austria. His Imperial Highness will reside at
Prague ; and in the sequel the affairs of that
It.tensive Government will be arranged be-
tween the Captain-General and the Emperor.--
It is also affirmed that the Emperor will visit
Prague in the ensuing spring, and visit the Royal
family of Saxony. It is also said his Majesty
will go through Siberia to Hungary, and be at
I3aden in the season.

THE DEccAN PRIZE CASE.—On Wednesday
last we announced the commencement of the
hearing of this important case. On that day Mr.
ADAM was heard at length in the supporeof the
claim of Lord HASTINGS and His Army. On
Thursday and yesterday Dr. LUSHINGTON was
heard on the same side, when their Lordships
adjourned until Monday, when Mr. HAI:. atsox
is to commence the case of Sir THOMAS HISLOP
fr and the Army of the Deccan, the actual captors.
It is expected that the hearing will not close
before Thursday or Friday next.

Our present Paper contains an Advertisement
of an important and extraordinary Periodical
Work, the first Number of which is just
published. We have read the Prospectus and
the first Number, and are, for our part, satisfied
that the Editor has completely male out his first
proposition, namely, that the wages of the work-
ing classes may be increased eight-fold, with-
out diminishing the .slea,l th now enjoyed by the
other classes of the people. The publication, it
appears, will contain practical propositions for
enabling this great and desirable change to be
effected, either by the Legislature or by por-
tions of the people themselves. Political Eco-
nomy has certainly hitherto been very imper-
fectly understood, of which the unceasing pre-
valence of distress, notwithstanding the vast
powers possessed by society, is sufficient evi-
dence. The Work of which we are now speak-
ing is written in a temperate and dispassionate
style. We recommend it to the attention of our
Readers, under the conviction that it will amply
repay them for the trouble of its examination.
