IiAMBURGII PAPERS.

HA MBURG H, OCTOBER 3.

The Gazelle Univavel, under the head of Paris,

September '2.9, contains the following article :--66 The
. people here have got it into their heads that the French
Government will offer at the Congress 50 millions of
francs to recover the left bank of the Rhine ; when
they' have once got this,. which every body here
greatly desires, Brabant they fancy will come of it-
self. The English Government has bought the Ho-
tel of the Princess Borghese for 1,400,000-francs : it
.is the same that the Emperor of Austria inhabited
while he was here. Lord Wellington now occupies
it. This celebrrted Commander is universally re-
proached with baying been, in the first instance, the
cause of the violent proceedings of King Ferdinand
in Spkin. By order of the English Government he
advised him not to accept the Constitution of the
Cortes. This first step led to others, the consequences
of which are daily accelerated by the influence of the
Monks. Already Ferdinand has wished to retract.
The imprisoned Members have been offered their
liberty, but they demanded a formal trial. The Court
is in the greatest embarrassment.
"The Pope, whose firmness was admired, even by
his persecutors, while he was at Fontainbleau, Las
1 st much of his credit here, since be has proceeded to
te.establish the Jesuits and to persecute the Free-
masons:

44 In the kitchens of the Thuilleries there is a degree
elite and activity that exceeds all description ; one
would fancy Gargantua held his court there. The
King himself found it carried to excess. If the ex-
penses of the table continued to be 1,800,000 froze:
per month, bow could it be borne ? His Majeity.has
therefore ordered greater economy to be observed.
Too many persons, however, would lose their daily
bread by this, so that very likely no change will take
place. The Bourbons were always a generous race ;
they Never could see any one suffer want, and treated
their friends like true 'Knights. Whoever goes to the
Palace is a welcome guest. Kitchen and cellar are
epen to him. Many distressed Counts and Countesses
receive their dinners in their Own houses. This hospi-
tality will not ruin Franco. The taxes are not so
pleasant. rn proportion more is paid now than under
Bonaparte.
66 We know a proprietor whose house brought him
in last year 1800 francs, and who is taxed 270 francs
for it. Another pays 5000 francs for a house that
kingi him is 12,000. The direct taxes of a third,
whose -landed pioperty brings in 4.3,000 francs,
amount to 22,000. Still more do.the droit: reuni:
ezci:e murmurs, for they still exist, though it was
promised they should be abz.lished. The officers, in-
deed, do nut allow themselves so much liberty as
formerly; because public opinion awes them. The
excise officers carried their exactions so far as to take
the /tarsi on the cattle and effects of the country
people, who, on the approach of the Allies, took re•
fuse in the cities, particularly in Paris ; and fre-
quently, when the poor people in their fright violated
some form, seized their property. They were cer-
tainly much mere harsh in their proceedings than
the Cossacks."

FRENCH PAPERS.

VIENNA, OCTOBER 1.

Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress of Rus-
sia occupy the second fluor of the Pavilion of A metie,
And the King of \Virtemberg the first : the King of
Prussia occupies the first floor in the Cotutdes Suisse:,
and the King of Denmark the second. The Emperor
of Russia daily rides through the City in an open
carriage, and by his affsbility conciliates all hearts.—
It is thought that the affairs of the Congress will
proceed very actively, because every thing it pre-
pared before-hand. Nothing reaches the public ear
of what passes in the Cabinets of Princes and Mini-
sters : all is therefore conjecture. Some say that the
Sovereigns reckon upon remaining at Vienna to the
middle of N:)vember, and the rest to the 24th Nov.

The Austrian Observer, which is generally well in-
formed, ann unces for to-morrow the grand Ridotto,
to which 10,000 persons are invited ; and, for Tues-
day, the 4th October, the anniversary of the fete of
the Emperor, the grand Festival for the people in
the Ausgarten. 'I he grand Concert will take place
on the 13th.

The Court yesterday was truly Magnificent. The
Emperors, Kings, and Princes, appeared in all their
sum dresse3, and the Princesses were decorated with
diamonds. The Ministers of the Powers, the Gran-
dees attached to the different Monarchs, the Ladies
of the Austrian Court and Foreign Courts, exhibited
the most charming groupes. All the Princes of the
House of Austria v% ere so distributed as to do the ho-
nours of the Drawing-i ooms.
