" VZRNNA, JAN. I.—The Archduchess of
Parma is reported to be dangerously ill.
JAN. 2.—An absurd report has been circulated,
that the Germanic Empire is to be re-esta-
blished, and the dignity conferred on the Empe-
ror of Anstria, who is to have, under the title of
King of Germany, a coadjutor in the person of
the King of Prussia.
" FRANKFORT, JAN. B.—The Congress of
Vienna is stated to have declared that the Con-
federation has neither any right nor power to
revise existing Constitutions in any of the Ger-
man States.

" A year is said to be the period fixed for the
establishment of Provincial States in those terri-
tories where they do not now exist."

The following account was received at Lloyd's

this ►norning :
" ANTIGUA, Noy. 30.—A report has been re-
ceived here from Dominica, that Rear-Admiral
CAMPBELL died at sea, on or about the llth inst.,
and that the Salisbury, with his remains, reached
Barbadoes on the following Saturday."

EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER FROM NEW
YORK, DATED DEC. 10.

" The confident opinion is, that the Govern-
ment of the United States will recognize the In-
dependence of South America, and that Mr. CLAY
will take an early opportunity of bringing the
subject before Congress. This opinion is in unison
with the PREISIDENT'S Speech, in which he re-
cognizes the success of the Patriots in Chili, Vene-
zuela, &c. According to recent advices from
South America, the Merchants of Lima had begun
to abandon that Capital, from an apprehension of
he immediate invasion of the Country by the
Army of Chili, acting in concert with the Fleet of
Lord COC.HRANB."

There is an awkward attempt this day in The
Horning Chronicle on the part of the Paper itself,
and on that of its Correspondent, AGerman, to ex-
cuse, or at least to palliate, the support which they
have given to the cause of asiassination is, the in-
stance of SANDT, the murderer of KOTZEBUE.—
For our part, we hold that crime in the utmost
detestation, as repugnant to all Laws, Divine and
Human. We heartily wish that oppressors of the
People in all Countries, may endure the punish-
ment which they may deserve, whether of dismis-
sion, disgrace, or death, yet such punishments
should not depend on the revenge or the judgment
of en individual, but should be inflicted by the
awful visitation of the established Laws. But
though The Chronicler and the German seem
anxious to vindicate themselves from the suspicion
of approving of the assassination of human beings,
they without scruple are ready to assassinate the
characters of their opponents. What deadly wounds
have they attemptedito inflict on the reputation
of Lord CASTLEREAGH, ‘Mr. CANNING, and indeed
all the Administration, with the exception of
Lord LIVERPOOL, who, by the even iener of his
private life, and the temper and yet firmness of
hi. public conduct, has hitherto escaped the venom
of his political opponents. We know not hosv to me-
count for this exemption, which the Noble Lord,
has experienced, except by supposing that they have
found a full scope for their ntAiignity in the other
Members of Government, but that when they have
exhausted their vengeance against the rest of the
Ministers, they will turn towards his Lordship.
and honour him also with a portion of thcir acri-
monious defamation.

The Proprietor of The British Monitor cam-
plains yesterday that a new Sunday Paper, sup-
posed to have been instituted by Government, has
been lately substituted for his Journal. He,
however, absolves the Proprietors of the new
PHper from any concern in this tievicable
ma-
,naeuvre. We also absolve the News-venders
from all participation in such paltry artifices,
which have been frequently practised on our
Paper. The only remedy is to trace the Culprit
if possible, and to expose him to the justice of the
Law.
