TUE WINE TRADE.

TO THE EDITOR or THE SUN.
SlR—Your Correspondent, the '' bane
chant," is a:, very accurate calculator;, and c,cr-
tainly states facts ; but there is an old maxim,
which he seems to hare forgotten, viz. that not
only the truth, but the whole truth, should be
spoken. if the ."..Wine Merchant,'" does not
know, he ought to' know, that the reduction iu
the price of Wine in Portugal, SPain, and Ma-
deira, will more than remunerate the dealers for
the additional duo?, without imposing a single
fraction upon the consumer. 3 assert Positively,
that Wine in the Docks has-advanced little or no-
thing s!n,:c the duty was proposed.

- lENNA, FEB.' 15.—8 y the incorporation of
East Friesland, Hanover obtains an approxima-
tion- to Holland, which must be considered as
highly impOi'tant, not only in respect to
.com-
nierce, but aN6' in respect to the future Federal
Constitution of Germany. The basis of these ces-
sions to Hanover was settled duriog the abode of
the Foreign Sovereigns in London; for even. then,
in order to Satisfy if claim of about •60,000,000 Of
dollars which England and Hanover had on-Prus-
sia on several accounts, Prussia engaged_ to cede
to Hanover, Hildesheim and some other terri,-
tortes surrounded by Hanover, or bordering on
;it, to the amount of a population of 3*();000
souls.

The misunderstanding between the POpe and
King JOachim, excites considerable at tenti4 here,
since it seems that they will have very eXtensive
at:id important consequences, particularly for King
Joachim, who is not yet recognised by several

great Powers.

It is affirmed, that Denmark by the acquisition
of territory which it is to obtain, will become a
member of the German Confederation.

The Emperor Alexander. has frequent confer-
ences with the Viceroy of hta!y.• It is .4 ffirnied
for certain, that the Viceroy will obtaiii.a
tirinci-
pality in I;erinany, for which Bavaria uses all its
interests. •

EXTRACT OF AN AU.TLIENTIJ LETTER FROM VI-

ENNA, DATED FEB. 16,
" I hasten to inform yonof the followingpzrti-
culars, which have come to my knowledge within
these two hours. Since my last, nothing parti-
cular has passed in the Congress.
" If the health of his Imperial 'Majesty will
admit of it,' the heralds shall', on one of the days
from the 16th to the 20th, at nine o'clock in the
forenoon, proclaim the peace to the people in
all the great squares of our capital. From ten to
eleven, all the, artillery shall fire salutes, and all
the bells shall b.e rung. At eleven o'clock, his
Imperial Ithjesty, with the whole• Congress and.
the chief Nobility, will go in grand.procession Xo.
the Metropolitan Church of St. Stephen, to at
tend 'Fe
•Deum.; When this is over, iheartilk:sy,
will be again discharged. In the 'evening there
will he a grand ball, and a free admission to all
the Theatres.
" A general-illumination will take place in the
city and suburbs, which the august Sovereigns
will view.
" Our frontiers are extended to the Lech.—
lite Archduchess. Maria Louisa will have her
wishes granted, and reside at Salsburg ; she
gives up for this, Parma, Piacenza, and Gnastalla:
she will be crowned Queen of Italy. Thorn -is
to be a free cite, under.the protection of Rus-0:a ;
DantZie under that of. Prussia ; and Cracow, nider
that of Austria. Austria, England, and Prance,
have concluded an alliance, to which RUSsia will
immediately accede. •
" King of Bavaria will take up his resi;
deuce at Mentz, and an Austrian General Com-
mandant will be placed at Munich." -
HANovER, FEB, 21.—The last period of the
crisis, which we- have now happily got over, was
more serious than was generally supposed. Re-
ports were spread that an Austrian corps was on
the march to enter Saxony, and the metisnres we
saw. taken mulct our own eyes were not measures
of permanent defence, but of temporary precau-
tion. Sudden orders were given to provision and
strengthen Stailti ; orr troops, joined with others,
were ordered to the Duchy of Bretnen and Stade;
the Military school was prepared to depart. All
this is no;' at oneeyeountermanded. Two di,-
patches, received by 'express from Vienna, have
restored tranquillity, and the Government has
published an official 'notice that all the dleerence
have been settled at the Congress, 'upon terms'
highly advantageous to Hanover.
BEaLIN, FEB:" 21.---The King of Saiwny
received the in vitation•announced to him, in a let-
ter.written by -the .Emperor of Austilia, which was
brought Op. Sattrydayby express, and will set
out to-morrow morning early, under the name of
Count de Platten.
Our Papers contain, in a second.official article,
the arrangements made between Prussia and ILl-
novel.. This article, dated Vienna the 15th in-
stant, is as follows ;
we heal' that the arrangvn ient between Prussia and Ha-
!Inver is now concluded:

c' Great Britain bad, in t?lie Conventions it concluded with
the Allies, conditiJna for an agr,randisement for Hanover,
which, from its frontiers, must be chicly composed of Prus-
sian Provinces, for which, however, an entire indemnifica-
Sion should be giiren. To the British subsidi:s and supplies
