Extract of a letter to the Editor of the Salem Observer,
dated August 12.:—" The Government is not yet in a
settled state. The laws of the Corms are dictated by
the Emperor and his Ministers. He is a favourite
with the people, but they view with a jealous eye,
any attempts to render him absolute. The troops are
generally well paid, and are often liberally regaled
with wine, kc. by him at his residence, which is a few
miles from the city. A short time since he injured
himself by a fall from his horse, and his first en-
trance to the city since his recovery was made a few
days ago. The rain fell in torrents. He and the
Empress were on horseback, and I hope our American
ladies would not think I told a traveller's story, if I as-
sured them that she rode comeme ern homme. Her dress
was ordinary, her complexion very dark. You will re-
collect that she is sister to the Ex-Empress Maria Louisa
Bonaparte. He is a decent looking man, but was dis-
tinguished only by his badges of Royalty. They were
escorted by the military, who, joined with a large num-
ber of negroes, it can scarcely be said, rent the air with
I Vivas: At the entrance of the city his reception
was said to be different, the inhabitants joining in the
usual acclamations. On Sabbath evening be viited
the theatre, which was. crowded to overflowing. and
was received with the waving of handkerchiefs, and
with shouts. His wife is considered a woman of much
information."

PARIS, NOVEMBER 9.3.
The Baron de Bournonville, Able-de-Camp to his
Royal Highness the Doke of Ansonlune, arrived yes-
terday Paris. The Counts de Fonteneille and La
Rochefoucault, his Royal Highness's Aides•cle-Camp,
are also arrived at Paris. The Prince of Carignan was
to set out from Villa Real on the 20th, and sleep at
Bayonne on the 21st. His Highness will leave that city
on the 22d, in the morning, and proceed to Bourdeaux,
where he will wait the arrival of the Duc d'Angouleme.
NOVJIMBILR 24.—Yesterday, after Mass, the Marquis
Alfieri di Sostegno, the Sardinian Ambassador, and M.
Koopmans, Minister Plenipotentiary of Denmark, had
the honour to be received by the King in private audience.
At one o'clock yesterday the King received the Mi-
nisters, the Prince de Talleyrand, the Marshals of France,
the Marquis de Semonville (Grand Referendaire of the
Chamber of Peers), the Great Dignitaries of the King-
dom, a very considerable number of Peers and Depu-
ties, the Pope's Nuncio, the Ambassadors of Spain and
Naples, and many Military Officers of all ranks.
Before Mass, his Excellency the Duke de San Carlos,
Ambassador of Spain, presented to the King, in.private
audience, letters from his Sovereign, accrediting him to
his Majesty in the quality of Ambassador.
M. the Major-General Count Guilleminot will quit
Madrid, in order to arrive at Bayonne with .his Royal
Highness the Duke d'Angouleme on the 231 instant.
The Prince will stay at Bayonne on the 24th, and the
25th he will set off fot Bourdeaux, wheaqe he will pro-
ceed
direct to Paris.
Motillo is now very much disliked in Spain; he has
not the least influence. The Government conceives that
they treat him leniently enough in omitting to punish
him. Happily, in the course of a short time, it may be
question of a war with America, and perhaps it is de-
sired to profit of the sad celebrity which the Count de
Carthagena has acquired in that country.
The Count de l'Abisbal has solicited, though vainly,
permission to return to Spain.

AUSTRIAN POLITICS.
FROM TM! COUR= IRANCAIS.
VIENNA, NOVEMBER 5.
FACTRACTS OH PRIVATIC Lerreas.--The result of the
negociations at Lemberg, between Prince Metternich
and *Count Nesselrode, is represented here as one of
the greatest triumphs ever achieved by diplomacy. Al-
ready in society, and even in the public papers, the glo-
rious surna me of II Prince of Modern Diplomacy" is given
to Prince Isletternich. The courtiers who have had the
honour to be admitted us his presence speak of his glory
as much greater than that formerly acquired by the Ce-
lebrated Minister Reunite, .and the close union now ce-
mented between Austria and Russia seems of far greater
importance than those treaties which-put an end to the
long contest between the Houses of Bouibon and Haps-
burgh. It is not doubted in the least here, that after
having prevented war from breaking out between Russia
and the Porte in the East; after having seen his efforts
crowned with such complete success in the Peninsula
(for the influence which his notes had on the French'
Cabinet is well known); it is not doubted, I say, that
he will also be able to regulate with the same success
the great affairs with which he is at present occupied.
Germany, very naturally,has . the first place in his',
thoughts. Several coaferenCts have already taken place
between Prince Aletternich•and Prince kfaitzfeld, fikt;

Prussian Ambassador, Important propositions, calm-
lated to introduce into Germany in finite that system
wkich has long been .proposed for it, will be submitted
to the Diet as soon as it again assembles, which is not
to take place, according to repos-% till neat year. The
consent of the Members who now compose this Assem-
bly will be easily obtained, and Baron Munch deßil-
lingimusen, the Austrian Delegate and President of the
Diet, who is now at Vienna, receiving the remainder of
his instructions for Frankfort, answers, it is said, for
success. Other slept iations, not less important, and which
embrace the two worlds, are at present in the hands of the
Aulic Chancellor. Count Ncsselrode insisted strongly at
Lemberg on the necessity of making greater efforts, is
order to reduce the revolted colonie, of South Ames ica,
and again reduce them to submission to the mother coun-
try. On the other hand, the revolution of Brazil has a
lively interest for the Court of Austria. The re-union
between it and Portugal seems very difficult to effect;
and this anomaly between the acknowledgment pf the
insurrection of some who have placed the sou-in-law of
the Emperor at Austria on an Imperial Throne, and the
contest to be entered into against others who have pro-
claimed Republics, seems to strike some people of short-
sighted views. But it is hoped that a superior genius
will be able to conquer difficulties which would be in-
surmountable for ordinary Ministers. Finally the affairs
of Greece are also to be taken into consideration, parti-
cularly since it begins to appear very probable that the
Turks will never be able of themselves to re-establish
order and tranquillity.

If our Cabinet undertakes this matter it flatters itself
to be able to succeed in it as in the other negotiations.
Some strange reports have been circulated here as to
preliminary measures to be taken with regarcito the
Greeks. Among other things, it was said that Prince
Ypsilanti, who is still in fact detained in the fortress of
Theresianstadt, but who has been for some time treated
with great kindness, was not only to be set at liberty,
but he was to be seat carry .to his countrymen a De-
claration of the Great Powers, which is to contain their
opinions as to the future fate of Greece. The Prince
is to be specially charged to oppose the negociations or
intrigues of those English agents who, with gold in their,
hands,.traverse the Islands and the Continent of Greece,
endeavouring everywhere to gain partisans for Great
Britain, and to obtain, either io. whole or in part, that
the Greeks should place themselves under its protection.
This is a report which occupies the idlers of cur saloons,
and as such, and no more, 1 give it to you.
