VIENNA, NOVEMBER 11.

The fate of Saxony continues to occupy the public
mind. People ask what has become of those general
principles of public law, annbunced and recognized
by the Grand Powers assembled at the Congress of
Vienna ? They had, as it was said, at the outset re-
nounced the system of simple convenience and perso-
nal interest, as well as every idea of conquest. No
change could take place in the various Metes butt
what was.to have for its object the general good, and
the establishment of the equilibrium, and even the

aggrandisement of certain Powers was to be merely thy
result of the general acquiescence of the other powers.

Nevertheless the House of Austria, the Ambassa-
dor from France, all the Princes of the House of
Saxony, the Powers of the second order, who tremble
for themselves, take a warm interest in favour of the
kingdom of Saxony ; -and yet it disappears without
these great principles, pending their application. 111
is true that it may be answered to these politics that)
the fate of Italy, of the Banks of the Rhine, of a pattl
of Germany, and of the Pays Bas, is not decided, and'
that we cannot have clear ideas, or sit in judgment,
until the whole shall be regulated. The future alone
can enlighten us : it will reveal to us things of which
we are ignorant, and which ought to render us cir-
cumspect.

The Ambassador from France enjoys here a high
consideration.

Embarrassing negotiations are on foot respecting
the Kingdom of Naples ; and it would seem that the
Diplomatists ate far from coming to an understand-
ing on this important subject. It is generally be-
lieved that the Court of France wishes to replace the
Crown of Naples on the bead of Ferdinand IV.—
England, on the other hand. seems to desire that
Joachim shall remain ; and Austria appears to take
the part of Mediator.
Our Court, which is resolved to wait for the issue
of the deliberations of the Congress on this head, has
happily, found, in the Congress itself, a reason to de-
fer, till after the departure of the Allied Sovereigns,
going into mourning for the Queen of Sicily, since
mourning would be incompatible with the fetes to be
given to its illustrious guests.
The delay puts the Court of Vienna the more at its
ease, as it can then publicly announce whether it
goes into mourning fur the Queen of Sicily, as the
Court of London has done, or for the Queen of Na-
ples and Sicily, like the Court of France. It how-
ever cannot be concealed, that our Court is in an em-
barrassing situation in regard to King Joachim—on
the one hand, it is too nearly allied by blood to the
ancient House of Naples and Sicily, not to listen to
its just demands; and on the other, it has contracted
engagements, and commenced a Convention with
King Joachim, made war in Italy, in concert with
him, against Bonaparte, and is consequently en-
gaged towards him. Besides it could not but be
Impolitic and very dangerous to renew the war
in Italy, and yet this is what must be expected if
an attempt should be made to force Joachim to
.quit
a throne of which he has been recognised the lawful
possessor by solemn treaties; for it is very certain
that arms alone would be able to do this.
Novitiates 8.—.-The change operated in Saxony,
and the determinations relative to the left bank of tl e
Rhine, occasion. much bustle in the French Legation.
Lenexa kin Italy announce that General Chancier

hat entered Romagna, probably because King Joa-
chim, as is affirmed, is also advancing.

VIENNA, NOV. l&
(EXTRACT PROM A PRIVATE MITE.)
Generally all false ideas as to the essence and ob.'
ject of the Congress are rectified. The exaggerated
expectations which had been formed as to this assem-
bly, become more moderate. It seems to be now ge-
nerally understood, that the Congress is not a consti-
tuted body, but a free meeting of Sovereigns and De-
puties from Independent States► Similar to former
congresses it is not invested with any legislative power,
even with respect to the laws of nations. It has no
other object, as may be seen from the 32d article of
the Treaty of Paris, than to facilitate and accelerate
important negociations, and to smooth the difficulties
which still divide the Continental Powers, and parti-
cularly to give, in the eyes of the people, more im-
portance and gravity to the results of these negocia-
tions, which, in other kespects, will follow the usual
course of diplomacy.

MADRID, NOVEMBER l&
On the 7th instant his Majesty loft hi% Palace in
his carriage, and proceeded in person to the residence
of M. de Macanao, his Minister of Justice and of the
Interior, and put the seals upon all the seals of the
Ministry, and gave orders to M. de Macanaz •to go
to prison. The portfolio of this Minister was given I
to Don Thomas de Moyano, Councillor of State.
The Madrid Gazette publishes this new nomination.
A thousand conjectures are afloat on this extraordinary
measure. It h generally thought that the work of
M. Ameros, printed at Paris, in which we read that
M. Macanaz, the Duke of San Carlos, and M. Es.
coiquiz, had frequently solicited employment from
King Joseph, is the cause of this marked disgrace.

VITTORIA, NOV. 1.
Letters from Madrid announce, that new arrests
take place daily in that capital. It is painful to see
distinguished General Officers included in this melan-
choly list. General Maya is still in confinement ; one
would have thought that ancient remembrances would
have abridged his captivity.
The Council of Castile has been consulted as to the
measures to be taken with respect to the sequestration
put upon the property of those who bad fled into
other countries.
NAPLES, OCTOBER so.
itROM Tat MONITEUR Of THIt TWO SICIIIES.
The Duke of Rocca Romana, charged by his Ma-
jesty with an important mission to the Emperor of
Austria, arrived yesterday at Portici. He brought
to the King the formal act of the ratifications of this
August Sovereign to the Treaty of Alliance with his
Majesty, which had been previously confined to the
simple autograph of the two Sovereigns. On this
occasion the Emperor of Austria granted an audience
of leave to the Duke de Rocca Routine, in which he
was charged to express to the King the sentiments of
his constant friendship, and of his unalterable system
of supporting, in every way, the interests cf his ally,
as well as the peace and tranquillity of Italy.
