" VIENNA, DEC. I.—We have daily arrivals
here of persons of (lis►inction Magnates of Hun-
gat y, Nol►knien of Bohemia and Austria, &c.
who intend to be present at the brilliant fates to
be given during the stay of the Emperor of Rus-
sia. A camp of pleasure is also to be formed in
the neighbourhood..

" WUETZIURG, DEC. 3.—The Emperor of
Russia arrived here this afternoon at one o'clock,
and set out at three, to continue his journey to
Maennerstadt.

" LAUSANNE, DEC. 4.—The Federal Directory
authorized by the votes of the Cantons, transmit-
ted on the 12thillt. to the Ministers of the Allied
Powers, the Act by which Switz,rland accepts
the Convention of Aix-la-Chapelle of the 9th
October, so far as it concerns Switzerland."

We have inserted an account of a Meeting
which was held yesterday in Westminster by the
friends of Mr. HOBHOUSE, in order to support h►is
canvass for the vacant representation of that City.

(See Last Page.)—The account is taken froth The
Morning Post of this day, arid we presume that it
is an accurate report tif what passed. Mr. Hors•
HOUSE, though repeatedly called on, had hitherto
refused to avow his POLITICAL CREED, but yes-
terday he made amends for his former reserve with
avengeance, as the phrase is, for it is hardly pos-
sible for the most zealous of the Disciples of the
Spencean doctrines, recommending equality of pos-
sessions, or any oft he Spa-fields and Palace•yard 0 ta-
tOTS, to have uttered more outrageous attacks upon
the Government, the Laws, and the Religion of this
Country. The sneering irony with which he
speaks of THE CHURCH and its Members, out ht
to rouse the Electors of Westminster into a rego-

lute support of the honour of ►heir City. A most
offensive work has been imputed :o Mr. Hosuouss
which he has never disavowed, and the main sub-

stance and WhOle tenor of his speech yesterday
exactly accords with the substance and tendency
of the offensive work in question. We may be
sure that if Mr. Hum-louse could be invested with
the Parliamentary Pritiilege of speech, he might he
expected to utter similar sentiments in the House
of Commons. Can it be possible then that
the Electors of Westminster will suffer such
a man to appear as their Representative in the
eyes of the world and of posterity !! If they do,
their character will be gone for ever. But we
hope that, after reading Mr. Hoanauses speech,
they will see the danger of admitting such a
person into a share of legislatiVe authority. We
know nothing of Mr. HOBHOUSE, but we have
read his work, and we have inserted the masterly
criticism on it in The Quarterly Review, and we
defy any man of common sense, and who is at-
tached to the Constitution of this Country,, to
read that work and his speech of yesterday, and
to lay his hand upon his heart and say, that, ex-
cept in education and talents, Mr. HOBHOUSU is
at all different from the COBBETTS, HUN rs, GALB
JONESBS, WATSONS, EVANSMS, THELWALLA, Or
any " acquitted Felons" throughout the Country.
We shall conclude with referring all honest men
and good subjects throughout the City of West-
minster to the speech delivered by Mr. Hos-
House yesterday, for we will not advise them
so far to exercise their patience, and expose
themselves to the disgust of reading his work,
and when they have read, learned, marked,
and inwardly digested that speech—tO ask them.
