'THE BONDING SYSTEM

,

We hope to be favoured with a Copy et the
Minute of the Board of Treasury on ';'oe subject
Of the Extension of the Warehue:slug System, al-
Wed to in a Morning Paper of to-day ;in the
mean time %ye can state, for the information of our
Readers; that it has no -reference whatever
to those Goods. which have already been ware-
_
housed beyond the. limited time, but ii de-
clares, that in future, goods shall remain in the
Warehouses two years from the date of their
tr7t- `2"try) Witliottt payment of duty (instead of
the time now allowed by the Warehousing Acts),
and it also declares, that all Mant,factured Goods
imported, shall be entitled to this indalgence.

We have ascertained that the Lords of the
Council met whin on Thursday last, upon the
case of Baron D'IMBEIIT, and after a short con.-
sultation, decided against the reasons he had ae-
signed for not obeying the PRINCE REGENT'S
order for his departure from this kingdom.—The
Baron has been, accordingly taken into custody
(as we stated yesterday) by a Government Mes-
senger, and, it is said, has applied for his wtit -
of Habeas Corpus, in order to be brought tip before
one of the Judges.. This, of course, will be
granted, and an ultiuulte decision cannot therefore
be long delayed.

We have received Halifax Pap,ers to the lith of
December ; but they bring us no intelrkgence ex-
cept a few naval paragraplis.—P:irty spirit J eents,,

." VIENNA, Dac. 3U.—We are assured, that the
last Note sent by Prussia to the Ministers of the
Great Powers,' has not been relished by any one
of them.. Prussia in this document (it is ,said)
declares, that Saxony alone, and the whole of
Saxony, can be her indemnity for her Polish pro-
vinces which she cedes to Russia; she regards the
the Duchy of Berg as nothing more than a com-
pensation for Anspach ; and the territories. si:
-tuated between the Rhine and Moselle, the Meuse
and France, as indemnities for all her other
Josses. In vain has it been represented, that
these countries do not lie conveniently for
her,
.being too far removed from the centre of
her monarchy, requiring
„numerous and strong
garrisons, and bringing Prussia into contact
with France ; these- reasons have produced no
effect. The Emperor of RusstA and the King of
PRUSSIA perfectly agree in their plans, and act
with
,the utmost concord. The one treats Poland
as the other, a little after, treats Saxony, and
both lay claim to their property. The Austrian
Minister, on h 4 side, has declared that his Go-
vernment was far from refusing Prussia the in-
demnities due to her for her generous efforts, and
for the sacrifices she had made for the general good ;
but he added, that this same Government could not
consent to the dethronement of a respectable Prince,
who bad devoted his whole life to- the happi-
ness of his subjects. Under whatever, aspect
we view this affair, said the Minister, we must
acknowledge, that by dethroning the King of
Saxony, - and depriving that Country of its inde-
pendence, the Congress would absolutely abandon
the object for which it met ; namely, to guar-
rantee to Europe a peace which should last
for many years, and. instead of this, would
excite new and interminable wars. The first
principle to'be consulted for the establishment of
a, durable peace, is to avoid exasperating 'the
minds of men, and to eradicate every germ of
discontent.

. " Austria, and the.otlier Powers which reclaim
against the independence ofSaxony, have presented
a calculation to the Congress, to prove that Prus-
sia may be amply indemnified for all that she has

with her States*.

" But the great difficulty is, that Prussia de-
mands such an arondissement as will raise her po-
pulation to 12 millions.
Austria has, it is said, consented that the
fortresses 'of the Empire, which ought to bei
long to Germany, shall not be occupied exclusirell
by Austrian troops, but have mixed garrisons, and
that in every one there shall be a certain number
of Prussians. This arrangement will not be an
easy one.

" The
.Ministers have fenewed the leases of
their hotels to the 15th February.-7(Gazette de
France.)
" VIENNA, Ds-c. 30.—1 t is . ascertained that
there has as ',yet • been no arrangement respecting
the. future fate of Saxony and Poland. Never-
theless, according to every appearance, the sr,
rangement concerning Poland will - not he at-
tended with many difficulties. A new attempt
has just been made promptly to terminate the
buiincss as to Saxony. A Corrsnittee has been
nominated, and it was to have conimensed
sittings yesterday. The .Committee is compoled
of Prince METTEIZNICII, President, Count Itrksou-
nowsxl, Messrs. HARDENBERG and HUMBOLDT,
and Lord CASTLEREAQH. The Austrian itlint.sters
make great efforts to -conciliate all Cie points
which are still under discussion.— (Journal de

King of NAPLES to the General-in Chief cow-

in it this passage :

" The uniting the Marches to the Kingdom d
Naples is no longer a mystery to Congress. Aus•-
tria positively required that the last treaty I con-
cluded with her should be executed in every.par.•
titular. She left me the care of explaining the
matter with the Holy Father, who has lon;•knotvts
that these provinces formed no part of his States."

" 'f he Court of Rome does not, however, ap-
pear to have consented, as King Minim- had an-
nounced, to the cession of this ancient part of
its Dominions. Its rights appear to be sacred
and imprescriptiblc, and she wilt maintain theri-
On the contrary, therefore, she insists ttpoa
the restitution of this country, and many per-

sons, who have the best mean; of deciding upoP
political events, pretend that ,MURAT affects

that, in truth, the military occupation of.our,pro-:
vinces depends upon circumstances which it is not

FRANKE:oar, JAN. 3.—According to a Prussian Journal,
the Powers which have protested against the junction of Sax"

1805, when her population was 9,884,600, of which number
she lost 4,679,600 by the Treaty of Tilsit. She has Tecoa-
quered a population of 1,163,600 making in all 6,898,600.--#
To these they will add the population of the late French Pro'

It is said, under date of Vienna 29th, that Aus-
tria gets the Brisgaw, and Baden Lpecuniary in-
demnity for that territory.—That the Archduke
CONSTANTINE'S Order of the Day, has protinced a
strong sensation at Wartaw—they ask, " against
Whom are the Poles to fight, since all the
world is now at Peace ?" They think that it
must be against Powers which do not wish that
=nil Poland should paSs under the do-minion of
Russia ; Austria, England, and probably France,
ivhich are only advocates for what is wise and
lust ;—That the King of PRussta acquiesces in
Vic pretensions of RUSSIA, and persists in claim-
i":-; for himself a part of Belgium, Treves and Co-
logne :--and that England .desires the re-esta-
blishment of the Venetian. Republic, but cannot
devise an indemnity for Austria.

ever of seeing the Congress soon concluded there
was a grand conference on the affairs of Europe
even upon Christmas Day, which is-a proof of ex-

increase of territory on the. side of. Savoy, and
.then it Will probably betake itself to rest.'
EIMANG JAN.3.—The Gazette of this place
gives some extracts from an important letter from
Vienna, of _the 28th : Prussia has again ex-

-4( FEONTI.;RS OF AUSTRIA, DEC. 30.—We have
the following fromyieuna o 1 the 28th, we, are
expecting the effects of :the, last Russian Note
here, as every where. there are Thirties who
defend the interest of .this or that Power;
some have seen through a dark
Mass
the accounts
of Militar7 movements, &c. though at another
moment they would have regarded them as highly
indifferent. The whole position of Europe dis-
proves this point of view: The Cabinets ore too
well acqu'ainted with the inelinations.of the people.
Are there aot a thousand old wounds to be healed ?
In Austria we see nothing which can authorize
such dark Prospects, except what all States do,
and what is egnallv.burdensOme to all, the slip-
port of four or tire hundred thousand men on a
war establishment. .The Emperor will reduce all
that is unnecessary as soon as peace is published.
All other accounts agree, that an amicable con-
clusion is at hand. It is presumed that Rus-
sia is inclined to give ,to Prussia some depart-
Tu.ents of Poland, inhabited more by Germans
than'Poles, by which Prussia would form a large
German state.; and that sonic indemnity will be
found for Saxony.
" The affairs of Europe are managed with such
secrecy, that the principal notes are said to be not
only sketched, but even drawn up by the lE=
nisters therusetves.r —(p-ankfort Papers to theSth.).
