DUTCH AND FLEMISH PAPERS.

- -
VIENNA, Matta' B.—Sir It. Gordon, who acts as British
Envoy at this Court till the arrival of Sir H. Wellesley has de-
livered to his Royal Highness Prince Metternich, a Note
of the greatest importance, in which it is affirmed that the Bri-
tish Governnient invites Austria to co-operate with it in order,

'by new negociations,-to Obtain the preservation of peace in the
South of Europe.
The negociations which have been for a long time on foot be.
tween our Government and some of the first banking-houses in
this capital are decidedly broken off, and at present there is no
idea of a new loan. Count Stadion, the Minister of Finance,
some time ago presented a plan,..which has received the sanction
of the Emperor, and the chief object of which is to reduce the
expenditure of several branches of the public administration,
and by this means to obtain a great atneliora.tion in the
state of our finances. A considerable reduction of our army
is the first of these reforms, the execution of which has already
commenced.

For some time past a great deal has been said of new nego-
ciations between our Government and the British Envoy Sir R.
Gordon, who is stated to have presented several Memorials, the
contents of which are however unknown. Many persons affirm
that they relate entirely to new conditions for the repayment of
the debt due from our Government to that of England.
FRONTIERS OF ITALY, MARCH 6.—Up to this period Spa-
nish vessels continue to he admitted into all the Ports of Ithly, but
none,-however, spew themselves in the dominions of the King
of Sardinia. in the same manner, o interruption has yet been
ordered of the commercial intercourse between the Austrian
dominions and Spain. .It is affirmed.on the contrary, that not::
withstanding the cessation of diplomatic relations between the
two States, .the trade in all articles, excepting military stores,
will not be hindered. The same system is at present followed
by the Neapolitan .Cabinet, which, however, leas not published
any paper an reference to the affairs of Spain. At present there
seems to be no idea of forming an army of observation in the
North of Italy.
It is confirmed that a fleet fitted out at Toulon will shortly
sail; and as soon as war is declared, will blockade' the Spanish
ports in the Mediterranean. Probably the whole Spanish. coast
may he declared in a state of blockade, which W ould put au en-
tire stop to all commerce with those ports.
Fnoll THE DANUBE, %%nett 4.—Dispatches have been
already received by the Aulic Chancery of Vienna, from die
Austrian lnternuncio of Constantinople. After the arrival of.
Lord Strangford in Pero, the negociations had been renewed,
and nobody doubted that the ditkerences between Russia and.
the Porte would be adjusted in an amicable manner. The Em-
peror Alexander declared at Verona, that in the present state of
Europe, policy makes it necessary to avoid a war in the East of
Europe, that the Powers may be ablel to turn their undivid-
ed attention to the West. • Even should the Turkish Go-
vernment not agree to all the proposals made to it, for re-
establishing the ancient friendly relations between the two
Empires, recourse will not be had to arms. M. Tatischeff is
shortly to leave Vienna for the Bosphorus, as the new Russian
Ambassador.
The negociations now renewed with the Porte are entirely
confined to the adjustment of the differences with Russia.• At
Vienna, as every where else, attention is directed to the Pyre.
nees, where the great question must be decided what . system
of policy, is to predominate in Europe. It is believed that
the decision of the question whether war shall be carried on
against Spain or not, depends on the result of the negociations
which are at present carrying on at St. dPetersburgh by Sir
Charles Begot.
BRUSSELS, MARCH 15.—We learn from Cambray.that all
the troops which are on their way to Spain have received or-
ders, by expresses, to hasten their march. Several more regi-
ments have also received' orders to proceed to the south, and
many officers on half pay are placed on active service.
FRANKFORT, Mancir 13.—The accounts from Macedonia
are very melancholy, being full of complaints of the oppression
endured by the Christians.—The Pacha of Salonichi imposes
on all the districts of his Pachalic enormous contributions,
and the Mussulmen pay nothing.—Nothing new from Thessaly.
Omer Vrione, who had fled to 17rachori, is said to be invested
in the ruined town of Suli by
.the Greeks. The Albanians all
side with the Greeks.

BAYONNE PAPERS.
BAYONNE, MARcit 15.—Yesterday, the five armed cruizers
(Trincadores) belonging to the Defenders of the Faith arrived
at the harbour of Smolt. They came from Leguictio, and their
object was to fetch arms and ammunition which have been sent
to Socoa for the purpose of being embarked. This is doubt-
less what has occasioned the sudden departure of Gen. Quesada
for St. Jean de Luz. Large convoys of ammuntion and mili-
tary stores continue to be forwarded froM our Arsenals for the
frontiers of Spain.
The three Biscayan provinces and Navarre still persist in
their attachment to the party of the Insurgents. They refuse
to comply with the decrees of the Cortes, especially those rela-
tive to the levy of men and the payment of the new taxes, and
they besides give•signs of desiring to see the French Army enter
those provinces. The Constitutionalists have taken the resolu-
tion to make all their forces fall back to the Ebro, only leaving
Sgarrisons in the fortresses of Pampeluna, St. Sebastian, and
antona, and a few Guerillas in that part of the country which
shall be occupied by the enemy.
The National Guard under the command of General Ballas-
teros will be assembled on the right bank of the river Ebro,
whence it will observe the French and detach parties of Guerillas
to make incursions into that part of the country which they
shall occupy.
Accounts have just been brought to Bayonne, that a few mo-
ments only after. the Defenders of the Faith arrived at Socoa,
as we have mentioned above, six cruizers of the Constitutional
party well an-ned and euipped shewed themselves on,thacoast,
but that they have disappeared again to-day.
