BAYRT tn.'', JANUARY $9.

We have just received information of a very irr.
portant mksion of M. Merian, Russian Counsellor, to
Fredericksteld, near Berlin. He was charged to er-
deavour to prevail upon the King of Saxony to ac-
cept the indemnity on the left bank of the Rhine,
offered him by Russia and Prussia. The King WAS
inflexible, and refused every proposal; upon wkich M.
Merlin quitted Berlin, and returned to Vie:lda.
Letters from S loony speak of requisitions being
made there in order to form magazines. Many
people, however, think it not a military measure, bat
merely to supply districts where dearth was expert-
enced•in spring.
Prussian battalion has just occupied Pima. Frui-
tion detachments are posted on all the toads leading
from Saxony to Bohemia. They rigorously exi.
mine every thing that enters the latter country. A
Prussian cordon will be dr.nvn from Voigtland it'
Upper Lusatia. There are hitherto only a few Atli-
trian troops on the northern frontier of Bohemia.
• The Emperor Alexander is occupied with measures
tending to improve the situation of the Polish peasants.

PALERMO, DECEMBER 22.

The Sicilian Parliament, in violation of the consti.
tntion of 1413, has decreed that his Majesty and all
the Royal Family emit enjoy exemption from the
eastons dimes for every thing destined for their per-
sonal use.

MILAN, JANUARY Q. 9.

The report of the entrance of Murat into Rome,
and of the retreat of the Pope to St. Angelo Castle.
t
is to-day discredited. Still, we have no doubt that
something extraordinary is passing• in the S iuth of
Italy. It is vet remarkable that M. Rivatola, sent
by the Pope to Vienna ; Prince Caramavina, an en-
voy of Murat; and the Chevalier Capri, an envoy of
the Grand Duke, all changed horses, within a few
hours of each other at Casal Pusterlengo. We am
ignorant of the sort of connections which unite die
Emperor of Austria and King Murat.

AUGSBURGH, FEBRUARY 1.
Letters from Italy inform us, that some time ago a
great number of persons were arrested at Verona, ac-
cused of being leagued with the conspirators at Milan;
that the populace, irritated at this measure, proceeded
in aOli.tiS to the prisons, and set :it liberty those con.
fined; And that, in fine, during this insurrection, the
troops in garrison a: Verona amused themselves in
their quarters, and observed a kind of neutrality.
Austrian troops were expected at Verona, to rein-
force the garrisofi of that city.
There have also been arrests at Mantua. The re-

TERNICH, DATEI) DECEMISER IR, INI4.
66 I have hastened to fulfil the wishes of his Itnpe-
ial and Royal Majesty, expressed in your Hight fess s
utter, and have transmitted to his most Chriistian
I ijesty the confidential Note which you addressed
a Prince Hardenberg on the 10th instant, and Which
gni officially communicated to me. To prove the
itisfaction which the resolutions announced in that
‘....)ee will give to the King, it is sufficient to compare
;sum with the orders which his Majesty has gives to
2-,• Ambassadors at the Congress.
66 Trance bad not to bring thither any views of
irinbition or self-interest. Replaced in her ancitnt
Naundaries, she no longer thought of extendiog them,
ike the sea, which makes no ioroad on its shores but
el hen it has been roused by storms. Her armies,
traded with glory, no longer aspire after new can-

w•: s less the instrument than the victim, happy on
ving lecovered her legitimate Princes, and, with
he m, that repose; which she had reason to fear for ever
k); t, she had no reclamations to make, nopretensions
wb Mt she wished to form; she has not put forward
1,0 and she will not.
• But it remained for her to desire that
•estitution should be carried into effect for the sake
ill'Europe, as well as for her own ; that the spirit
-evolution should even now and for ever cease ;
:! a t every legitimate right should be rendered sacred,
1 that every kind of ambition or enterprise should
r,t, 'poth its condemnation• and a perpetual obstacle,
ia an explicit acknowledgement and a formal gua.
r.tr tee of those very pritteiples, of which the revolts•
had been only a long and fatal oblivion. This
h of France must be that of every European state
W:1 ICI is not self-blinded ; without such an order of
thit cgs none can deem itself for a moment certain as
to t he future. Never was a nobler object presented
to t Governments of Europe; never was such a re-
it2l. . more necessary ; and never could the hope of its
.inment be so strong, as at. a period when all
ristcndom was for the first time summoned to
fur al a Congress.
• Perhaps it would already have been completely
art tined, if, as the King had hoped the Congress, on
its first meetings, had, by leyingdown its principles.
fin :d the limits, and traced. oat the only road by
rrlu .ch it can be reached. Doubtless. in that case, wo
;ho uld not have seen some powers employing that as
a , retext for destruction which can only have conser-,
ut ion fen its end and object. Certainly, when it was
ete, spirit and meaning of the Treaty of the 30th of
hl ay, that the ultimate result of the proceedings of
the Congress should be a real and durable equilibrium,
it was not then understood, that territories and na-
tioi is were to be thrown into one single mass, in order
t•)1 ie afterwards divided according to certain prom-
tict .s. It meant that every legitimate dynasty should
be preserved, that every legitimate right should be
sts, ,ected, and that vacant territories (that is, without
overeign) should be distributed in conformity to

pate-thing, tti principles Conservative of the rights
of each, and the repose of all.
40' It would besides be a very strange error, to con-
siJr r the quantities which political arithmeticians
lel abet nut, .as the ally. element of this equilibrium..
Ai tens, °bucket's Montesquieu, had withiu herself :the
sag e physical force both when she ruled• witieen.nitich
g 1 a y, and when she was in base subjection.
bah .nce of power 'would be mere idle words, if ft be
sell 'rated not from that ephemeral and deceitful force
ch the passions produce, but from the true.moral
Ina e which consists io virtue. But tithe mutual re
kit ins of states, the Stilt virtue is justice.
Penetrated with these principles, the King has
pus cribed it to his Ambassadors as an invariable rule,
to p nrsue in preference to every thing that which is
jua . never to swerve from it in any case or upon any
acct ant whatever—never to subscribe to or acquiesce
in * hat is contrary thereto; and in the order of
tints .net combinations, to adhere, to such as may most
tually contribute fo the establishment and main-
tent ice of a real equilibrium.
la Of all the questions to be discussed at the COO.
rt the King would have considered as the first,
thei ,teatest, the most eminently European, beyond'
all e raparison with any others—that of Poland, had
it b n pessible for him to hope as strongly as he'
%cis!) :d, that a nation so worthy of the interest of all-
"! 11 Iron] its antiquity, its valour, the services
whit !I it in former times rendered to Europe, and
hors its misfortunes, could have been restored to its
axis .nt and complete independence. But the question
had I become foreign to .France by anterior treaties ;
it is :no longer any thing but a simple affair of parti-
tion. and or limits,- and there remains to France only
the iish that you should be satisfied with the with
of rt, ur discussions, and to be so herself if lon Were
SO.". The disposal of Saxony, according to the claims
n'itv set up, peri;icious as an example, will be espe
&ally so by its influence on the general balance of
Elm .pe ; a balance which consists ni the reciprocal
force of aggression and forte of resistance belonging
to rt,liucal bodits.
" Frafict., like Austria, may say with truth, that
eke cherishes. no feeling of jealousy or animosity
Against Pritisia ; and that it is preci,.cly because she
gas ;i sincere regard for her, that she cannot wish to
!ec tier obtain apparent advantages, which, acquired
it.justice and dangerous to urope, will sootier or
later become destructive to herself. Let Prussia ac.
Maine all that she can legitimately obtain ; France
will not only not oppose but will be the first to ap-
plaud this ; and if cessions on the part of the King of
Saxony are necessary in order to restore to Prussia an
exislauce equal to what she had in 180.5, the King of
France will be the first to press that Prince to make
such as the interest of Austria, and the interest of
Germany may permit, which in this point constitute
the interest of Europe."

'The Spanish ship Maria, trancii* as arrived at,
Liverpool from the Havanuehoftev a quick passage
of St days. By this vessel we•lenn that there was
not much probability of Admiral CCICIIRAItiei Expe-
dition succeeding. The inhabitants and the Ameri-
can Government having long anticipated the arrival
of the Expedition in the Mississippi, every bale of
'cotton and hogshead of tobacco bud been removed
upwards of 100 miles in the interior, and upwards
of 15,000 men had been well organized and a great
number of fire vessels collected in the rives to pre-
vent the boats from proceeding ups the Expedition
was lying at Belize, but would not proceed up the
•river, and in attempting to land with boats, the Bri-
tish had experienced partial defeat.

We have now Paris Papers of Thursday and Fri-
day last befdre us. They still repeat the report that
Mum has made a hostile movement towards Rome,
but kisby no means well authenticated. II Mostar
has not the countenance of the Allies in the proceed-
ing, his conduct may be regarded as. rash. Among
our extracts.from the French Papers of to-day, wll4
be found a State Pape► presented 'to Congress by
Prince TALLIMAND. It breathes :'spirit of calm
and dignified moderation. It disclaims all intention
of interfering with Poland, and merely intimates a
sentiment of regret that Prussia should appropriate
Sammy to herself.

Mails from Holland and Hamburg!: arrived this
morning, but the Papers brought by them have not
supplied us with any intelligence of interest. Their
speculations on the subject of the proceedings of Cott:
gress have not even the aspect of novelty to recom:
mend them. The State Paper at Vienna continued
to rise in value; and hence an inference is drawn that
the peace of Europe will be permanent.
By accounts from Rome, it appears tLat up to the
22d of January no Neapoliun troops had appeared
near that city : the reports of a contrary nature in
the French Papers are therefore incorrect.
