piety and zeal for the interest s of the holy religion,
which he personally observed in the different parts of
Italy and France, where he was constrained to take
up his abode : but more particularly to those circum-
stances which (visibly) induced his restoration to the
Holy See, and replacement at the head of the Church.
It is the peculiar prerogative of Christianity,"
said his Holiness, "to suffer solely to prove its
heavenly origin ; for the weakness of unassisted hu-
manity is so great, that, without a divine aid and in-
spiration, its professors could never expose themselves
to the cruellest sufferings, and submit even to death
itself in the cause of Gon and his divine justice.—
What else could have excited the courage of the ge-
nerous Spaniards—make them run to take up arms;
and after inspiring them with adequate force and
valour, enable them to repulse, in numerous sangui-
nary combats, that enemy which had unlawfully
taken possession of their territory ? What could have
inspired the Princes to form that famous coalition ?
What could give them success in so many terrible
battles, and in the end to consummate the ruin of
the Pried One (POrgueilleux!) but the spirit of GOD
himself ?"

Adverting to the incipient measures adopted by
him towards the restoration of the true religion' to
its due plenitude and lustre, his Holiness says-44 We
have removed from the Pontifical Dominions those
assemblies of impious men who equally menaced the
Thrones of Kings and the Holy Religion. We have
revived from its ashes the Society of Jesus (the
Jetukr.) An institution not less calculated to propa-
gate the worship of Gov, than to labour in the cure
ind salvation of souls."

In the conclusion, he adjures the Assembly to en-
deavour with aU their powers, ability, zeal, and ar-
dour, to re-establish the Church in all its antient
splendour and dignity, and to restore to its pristine
state and purity the true ,4 Vineyard of the Loath too

Since Saturday we have received Paris Papers of
so late a date as Thursday last. They contain a
continuation of the debate which we briefly but ac-
curately detailed on Saturday, on the subject of the
restoration to the emigrants of their unsold property.
A generous and liberal spirit in favour of these wor-

thy and disinterested patriots pervades the Chamber
of Deputies, notwithstanding the verbal alterations
proposed in the law. This liberality does them great
honour. The debate is not yet ended. In the mean
time the subject is discussed in various shapes in the
public Journals, and the leaning is uniformly towards
the Emigrants. It is even proposed in the Chamber
of Deputies to inscribe on the Livre rouge the names
of those whose estates are irrecoverably sold, as Cre-
ditors of the Pulite to that extent.

The following has been published as an accurate
wretch of the proceedings of the Congress of Vienna,
up to the latest dater—
:4g Before proceeding to the installation of the Con-
gress, a meeting of the Ministers of the leading
Powers was held to arrange its forms. Several diffi-
culties presented themselves, and among the rest that
relnive to the admission of Plenipotentiaries from
those powers which had not been yet generally recog-
nised,—Multae, Genoa, Saxony, &c. The mode of
voting formed another question, from the reluctance
Of the Powen of the first rank to be placed on a.s
footing with the inferior ones. To arrange those
matters, it was suggested that a Commission, to be
called the Preparative, should be formed, in which
afil Ala related to the formation of the Congress was
*be discussed. This Commission itself became an
object of discussion among the Ministers of the lead-
ing Powers. It was at first settled, that it should con-
sist of but a few members; and that, to avoid fiend-
Ing the excluded Ministers, those members should be
strictly the representatives of the Powers most consi-
derable in territory and population,—namely, Russia,
England, Austria, Prussia, Spain, and France. This
phn was nearly adopted ; its execution was to have
been sanctioned on the 30th ult. in an Assembly of the
Ministers of the six Powers, and promulgated on the
lit of October by a declaration. It was altered at.
the instance of the Portuguese Minister, who, by
strongly pressing the justice of his reasons, suc-
ceeded in securing for the basis of the Commission,
the principle of the 32d article of the Treaty
of Paris. In other words, that the treaty having
annoanced the convocation of Congress, the Ministers
of the Courts which had been parties to it had a
rii.st to be Members of the Commission—a principle
attended with the additional convenience, that the
other Ministers might be thus excluded without
]ealeusy. ' In the event, the names of the Portuguese
and Swedish Ministers were introduced, and the whole
compose the assemblage on whose decisions the
base 6 of the Congress are to depend. It is to be ob-
served, that the question of general pacification has
passed away from among the objects of Congress.—
The-etate of war was extinguished at the moment of
signing the Treaty of Paris.
it The pat deliberation now, is a federative co-
venant, having , tjq base the public law of nations
spspee4ed 444 beginning of the revolution,
combining willitisksinhther eminently interesting to
die Mil* even,infore the peace—the proposed clis-
allifititt'Gersony, and 144. This latter
. csl • ' -

share of the Plan, `which might have been of the most
facile execution while the Allies still occupied France,
has become seriously dtlficult since the recovery of the
latter Power from the state of feebleness in which she
was at that period: for it appears that in defiance of
the Secret Article of the Treaty of Paris, by which
the Allies reserved to themselves the disposrl cf the
territories actually occupied by their troops, and in
the face of its sanction by the French Government,
M. TALLEy RAND has violently opposed himself to the
establishment of its bases by the Commission, an-
nouncing that France will never allow of the mea-
sure except in the presence of Congress openly hear-
ing the parties concerned in the adjudication.

44 It further appears that M. T ALLEYRAND has
threatened, if the Allies persist in this arbitrary distri-
bution by the Commission, that he will withdraw, and
that his Court will feel itself forced to publish the mo-
tives of its Plenipotentiary.

Besides Spain, the French Minister relies on the
support of the secondary German Powers. The Eng-
lish Minister, too, would probably lean to his side,
except from his engagements with the Allies, contrac-
ted either with a view to the support of Hollan 1, or
to the primary object—the abolition of the Slave-
Trade. Even the Allies are not in perfect harmony
with each other ; the fate of Poland and Saxony are
the principal points of difference.

(6 It is not true that M. TALLEYRAND has touched
on the antiquAted subject of " Maritime Rights."—
The matter of chief remark in the Declaration which
he made to the Congress, and which has been called
a " Famous Note," relates to the admission or exclu-
sko of certain Ministers from that Assembly, draw-
ing a line by which those Princes are to be excluded
whose title was not universally recognized before the
war; the probable intent of this being to admit the
Minister of Saiony, and to shut out that of MURAT.
It is not, however, correct to speak of Notes presented
by him, since, with the exception of a sketch for the
Declaration of October 8, all his communications,
up to the 14th instant, were merely verbal.
" A separate Commission has been appointed for the
exclusive settlement of the affairs of Germany. The
constitution of that empire is to undergo a thorough
change ; and it is understood that there will no
longer be an elective head, and consequently no longer
any electors. The Hanoverian Minister, it is said, has
officially notified that his Sovereign will take the title
of King : and his example will probably be followed
-by the Elector of Hesse Cassel. So far as we can yet
judge, Germany will be moulded into a Confedera-
tion,
of which a Directory, delegated by the princi-
pal Powers, is to constitute the head." To the above
it is added, that Great Britain is to pay a million
sterling to Sweden, as a compensation fur the loss of
G uadaloupe !

Saturday her MAJESTY, the three PRINCECALS, aad
suites left Brighton after brew kfast, at ten o'clock, and
were handed to their carriages by the PRINCE REGENT
and the Royal Dukes; they took their departure for
Windsor escorted by a party of Light Horse. There
were relays of horses on the road provided for the
purpose of changing without loss of time ; the pre-
parations on that account attracted great crowds of
spectators at each stage, in some places several aged
persons presented the QUEEN and PRINCESSES with a
great variety of flowers. Her MAJESTY distributed
money amongst them, and also at each place where
the Royal carriages stopped the QUEEN and PIUN.
CESSES gave liberal donations to all the poor persons
who came near the doors of the carriages. The only
place the Royal Party alighted during their journey,
ifwas at Cobham, sixteen miles previous to their reach-
ing Windsor, where ;they partook of some ref resit-
nsents. They arrived at Windsor Castle, soon atter
five o'clock, to dinner, where they were received by
the Duke of YORK, who handed them from their car-
riages. Afterwards the Duke of YORK went to Oat-
lands.

The tradesmen's bills of the Royal Household are
expected to be unusually heavy for the last half year,
ending the 10th instant, in consequence of a late visit.
The extraordinary expenses in only one department
amount to about /39,000. In a bill of the coach-
maker's for £lO,OOO is an item for new harness,
£3,500.

A circumstance of a singular nature is stated in a
Hamburgh article. A courier from Vienna was
rubbed near Luneburgh of his letters and dispatches,
but the whole were afterwards found in a ditch, with
the exception of his dispatches for Copenhagen, which
it appears were.all the robbers wanted. This incident
will no doubt give rise to a great number of conjec-
tures, and many persons will not hesitate in fixing,
upon the individual at whose instance this outrage
has been committed.
An article from Vienna states, that Poland and
Saxony occupy much of the attention of the Congress
—the sovereignty of Poland, it is added, will in all
probability be easily settled, as there is no hereditary
family to lay claim to it in the case of Saxony, how-
ever, as there are numerous Princes of that House,
strong remonstrances are making in their favour.—
On the other hand, it is alleged, that Spain obsti•
stately demands Tuscany, in virtue of the Treaty with
France, by which she gave up Parma and Placentia
or that Duchy. Tuscany is also claimed by Austria,
and the Pope.
A letter of the 28th of May, from Botany Bay,
Mates, that three of the settlers had passed the Blue
Mountains, fotming the boundary of the west and
north, and discovered a fertile tract of country, of
great extent, through the whole length of which a
fine river runs. A settlement was about to be form-
ed in the territory thus discovered, ani the Governor
had allotted a thousand acres to each of the indivi-
duals who first ventured to pass the mountains. it is
added, that there had prevailed a continued drought,
with scarcely two hours of rain, for nearly ten
months: 5000 sheep, and 81.100 horned cattle, were
starred.
