VIENNA, NOV. i 6.

The Grand Duke Constantine set off yesterday
rather unexpectedly for Warsaw. It is not probable
that he will return soon. Some persons think that,
political arrangements being protracted, Russia Will
take possession of Poland, as Prussia has taken pos-
session of Saxony, under the reservation of a future
explanation. It now appears that the Congress will
sit much longer than was at first thought.—Most as-
suredly it will not finish its great business this year.
We can conceive no cause for the delays of the
opening of the Congress. On the Ist and' d Novem-
ber, all the Ministers, who had any right to be pre-
sent, brought their papers ti the State Chancery.—
Their examination was at most the business of two
or three days: the preliminary form'alities, according
to all appearances, must therefore be over.

All the Princes and States of Italy are in a state
of perturbation : they send here Memoirs after Me.
moire, in support of their interests : they wish to
know their destiny, but they are answered that their
demands will be taken into consideration ; and they
are always put off to the end of the Congress. This
uncertainty injures trade and business much, and this
can no longer be dissembled. For ,instance, it has
been said of late, that the States of the Church will
be restricted to a very small territory, which shall
comprehend merely Rnme and its environs, and that
all the Ecclesiastical Provinces will be secularized,
and given away in indemnities. This intelligence,
which, nevertheless, wants confirmation, prevents all
persons from embarking in any enterprize.

It is confirmed that the Imperial Dignity will be
re-established. Austria has declared that she will
not reign over Kings. She recollects that the Elec-
tors caused her much trouble and embarrassment, but
for the welfare of Germany she consents to accept of
a hereditary crown. It was at first proposed to have
a Prince, who should not transmit the Empire, but
whose successor should depend on certain suffrages,
or on an order which shall be established. The busi-
ness, however, seems arranged, and the King of
Prussia will be Vice-Emperor.
It is proposed to establish here a depot of archives,
for all the acts which were in use by the Confedera-
tion of the Rhine.
We are very curious to learn what can be the con.
tents of an important Declaration which bas been

IXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LITTIR.
" Still we are in a state of uncertainty. The dis-
cussions relative to Poland continue, and are more
animated than ever. All the Powers, except Prussia,
oppose the transfer of this rich and fertile country to
a Russian Prince. The Emperor Alexander, how-
ever, remains firm ; and his Minister, Count Nessel-
rode, has declared that 600,000 Russians. and 800,000
Poles were ready to defend the independance of Po-
land. Prince Constantine will set off this evening
for Warsaw, to take some decisive measures.
gg The taking possession of Saxony by Prussia, has
made a bad impression on men's minds. It seems,
to be decided that the ci-druant King of Saxony will
retire to Frankfort, where he will enjoy, with his fa-
mily, a revenue of three millions of German crowns.

" The Duke of Saxe Weimar will take the title of
Gran il Duke. The Sovereign Houses of Hesse Cas-
sell,‘Lippe, and Oldenburgh, have jointly protested
against all aggrandisemeuts of the Kingdom of nano.
ver, at their expence.
" The Pamphlet, entitled Advice to the Cowen of
Vienna, which I mentioned yesterday, is so strictly
prohibited, that a penalty of one hundred ducats is
imposed upon all persons having it in their possession.
" It is said that several emissaries, or agents of
Bonaparte, have been arrested in Italy, and in con-
sequence he will be transferred to the Island of Saint
Helena."
