FRONTIERS OF AUSTRIA, NOV. 21.

The Emperor of Russia and the King of Pruisia
have for these ten days past held daily conferences on
the state of European affairs. It is certain that these
two Monarchs are willing to make any sacrifice's to
advance the establishment of tranquillity in Europe.
It is even asserted that Prussia consents to renounce
sarony, if suitable indemnities shall be granted to
her fix the enormous expences of the war which she
has supported, for the great sacrifices which she has
undergone since the year 1806, and particularly for
the fuss of the Dnchy of Warsaw, which the Treaty
bf deprived her of, and which she cannot now
recover. _ _ _

On the other hand, it is said that several of the
Powers have proposed to restore Prussia to the posses.
lion of all that part of Poland situated on this side of
the Vistula, on condition that she renounces Saxony :
she will, however, reserve a part of it, that is to say,
Lower Lusatia, and a district on the right bank of tue
Elbe : but appears that this proposal is not recon-
cilable with the projects of the Emperor Alexander,
relative to the establishment of the kingdom of Po-
land under a Russian Viceroy. _

It is finally said, that several Powers have de-
clared, that they eagerly desire there-establishment of
Peland,an condition, however, that that country shall
accept, Ma King, either a Polish Prince, or a Prince
of the German House.
While no agreement is come to respecting Poland
ind Saxony, thearrangements of the Congress coati-
ng.: in the same state. It is for this reason that the
solemn sittings have not cenumenced, though the
verification of the powers of the Ministers and accre-
dited Diplomatic Agents has been terminated for
some days.
The departure of the Allied Monarchs for Styria
and Trieste is deferred, in consequence of the impor-
tant objects now under consideration. In this unset-
tled state of things, they do not even yet think of
their departure from Vienna.

VIENNA, NOVEMBER Si.
Their Majesties the Emperors of Austria and
Russia are better, and have resumed their usual occu-
pations.
It is said, not without probability, that Prussia
agrees to renounce Saxony, on condition that Poland'
as far as the Vistula be guaranteed to her ; but Rus-
sia opposes any dismemberment of that kingdom, and
seems bent on incorporating it with her vast domi.
nions, at the same time leaving it the appearance of
independence.
The following is the substance of the propositions
contained in the note delivered to Princes Metternich

" Vienna, Nov. 1814."
[This Note is signed by the Ministers of the diffe-
rent houses of Hesse, Anhalt, Mecklenburg, Nassau,

Coburg, Waldeck, Schanutberg-Lippe, and of the

A Gentlettan who bad the misfortnne,with many
ethers, to be detained in France as an hostage, who
is still there, and who has had every opportunity 'to
make himself acquainted with the character and sen-
timents of the French of all ranks, informs us that
on all questions of political economy the generality of
people are so miserably deficient as to form all their
views from passion, not from judgment; that they
are ill informed respecting all the events of the war ;
that those participating in the happiness of the Kiwi,
and more particularly about his person,.admire the
English Government, but dislike the people ; that
?Luse in office, with TALLZYRAND at their head, hate
b^th the one and the other ; that the great mass
the people profess a veneration for Englishmen,
but detest the Government ; and that the best infor-
med of the republican class bate both our Govern.
treat and people, from a spirit of jealousy and
revenge.--The continuation of the Droits rearau
causes much discontent, and this is heightened
by the numerous conges given to military men.
.--Tne Emigrants are rapacious in their demands,
but not very successful in gaining their•object. The
want of a C‘mmercial Treaty puzzles and vexes the
real Merchants, while it pleases the visionaries. The
wise and humane conduct of the litso, in forgetting
and forgiving political crimes, renders the ancient

nobility furious. All the means ancl Laws adopted tq
,ecall religious sentiment please but a small party,
and are reprobated by the great mass of the people.
However strange it may appear, there exists in all
pans of France a powerful party for the scoundrel
BONAPARTE, in the South his admirers are comp
ratively few, but in Dauphine, &c. the people in the
towns and villages still exclaim Vive P Enysereur, rive
BONAPARTE j and it is certain that a large portion of
the Military under the rank of Major are Bonapartist:.
—Even among the ancient Nobles, many who hive
not got that share of the loaves and fishes to which
they thought themselves entitled, are consequently
much dissatisfied.

On the, meaning of the fourth article of the Treaty
of Pt:•ice between this country and France, there is a
difference of opinion—some maintaining that com-
pensation for injuries offered to the persons of Bri-
tish subjects by BONAPARTE are clearly included
in it; while others contend that it only entitles Eng-
lishmen to indemnities for losses of personal property,
as coffee, sugar, cotton, &c. sequestrated by the Ty-
rant.—Should not the claims of both be attended tot?
Many of the former suffered indescribable miseries,
not being allowed any subsistence.money by the anti-
social Government.

We have this day given another article from the
Hayti Royal Gazette. It is interesting, as declaratory
of the resolution of the Government and people of i
Saint Domingo, even before the conditions of the
Treaty of Paris were known in that Island.

The case of the Haytians is a strong one. They
were declared free Mat by an Act of the French Le-
gislature in February, 1794. Many of the other laws
of the same body are still in force. Every Haytian
born since has, in law and in fact, been born free. Iti
is nothing to the purpose to say, that NAPOLEON re-
versed that law. HC did, it, is true, and he attempted
again to enslave free men—he was foiled, and the
Haytians then declared themselves independent.—.l
The breach of faith was on the part of the mother-
country. It is common enough in France to hear ap-
plause bestowed on the declaration of independence
by the United States of America ; but no French.
man, however blind or bigotted, can pretend to say'
the complaints of the Americans can bear the slightest
comparison with those of the Haytians. Although
France fomented the rebellion of our colonies : yet it
was not to England that she owed the loss of St.
Domingo.

To-day we present our Readers with an article on
the question with America, taken from a late Num-
ber of the Borten Repriory. It is distinguished for
that spirit of candour, moderation, and good sense,
for which we are sorry we cannot compliment the
present American Government, bnt which can alone
save the United States from moral and political ruin.
This judicious and enlightened reasoner reminds his
unfortunate countrymen that the conquest of the Ca-
nada: was the avowed object of the war, and that
the heads of their Government have repeatedly
pledged themselves for its accomplishment. He
then asks them if it be unreasonable in Cleat
Britain, now that circumstances are changed, to
, demand an increase of territory in her turn ? But
he makes it evident that Great Britain is not actuated
by any rapacious views of conquest, and far loss in-
toxicated with the high and commanding attitude
which she now holds among nations : all her demands
for new boundary to her Colonies are founded upon
the immutable principle of truth, justice, and huma-
nity. This honest asserter of the sacred rights of
mankind, tells his countrymen, that no peace can be
secure and lasting, and that no treaty can be honour-
able, which does not stipulate the complete indepen-
dence of the Indian nations, whoa? PROVIDENCE has
interposed between the American and British Set-
, dements.

In the sober language and the mild spirit of Com-
mon sense and Christian morality, this sturdy Cham-
pion of the good and great cause of humanity, tells
the Americans, and tells them truly, that they are not
yet fir enough advanced in civilization themselves to
be entrusted with the Sovereignty of the immense and
populous territories, which they have too long held;
be tells them, in fact, that they ought no longer to be
permitted to go on with the extirpation of their Indian
neighbours ; for of this hideous complexion has been
the uniform policy of the JUIPERSON and MADISON
`Administrations !

We trust that these humane and forcible appeals
of the Boston Politicians to the good sense and hu-
manity of mankind will not be lost upon the Com-
missioners at Ghent.

The following Order of the Day, issued by the
Emperor ALEXANDER, addressed to the Polonese,
announcing the arrival of his brother CONSTANTINE,
is truly interesting at this moment :

TO THE POLISH ARMY.

" Orsicias, Sounaasi—l am convinced that it will be
highly plca.ing to you to receive this pledge of reward, to which
you have acquired so high a title by your noble conduct and ex-
emplary discipline, up to the period of your return to your
homes—l announce to you, in the very words of his Majesty
the Etuptrot ALEXANDZIL" I consider it due to the Polish
Army to state, that it his crowned its known valour by au exem-
plary conduct in peace. The countries which it has traversed
do it justice. lam perfectly content with this army—l wish to
render it strung and numerous • and I also wish to see Poland
happy. My Brother will immediately arrive amongst you, and
confer distinctions upon merit.
" Mesa inures the Commandants of Brigades, and Meuleures
the Colonels, will take care of every thing that can contribute
to render brilliant the review of the troops. They will employ
a few day to perfect them in the manstivres, in order that the
Grand Duke may be wished witk the evolutions. (Signed)
The Galeria Commandant, the Count Kaasinsai."
