VIENNA, JANUARY 2i.

The Duke of Saxe Weimar, some time since, re.
nounced and revoked the protest which he had trans-
mitted to Congress against the annexation of Saxony,
of which he is the first legitimate heir. This Prince
is a General to the service of Prussia, and a near re-
lation of the Emperor Alexander. It is asserted posi-
tively that the other Princes of the House of Saxony,
yielding to the importunity of Russia and Prussia,
will also abrogate their protests.
The talked of journey of the S oyerei„tis to Italy is
now laid
.aside. It is now doubtful whether even the
Emperor of Austria will go to Milan.
The troops which cover the Illyrian Provinces
hoe received orders to hold themselves in readincss

.•
to march. It is said that they amount to 30,000
mea. The Emperor has promoted General Count
Footage ei-devast Minister at NVar for the King-
dom of Italy, to the rank of Field-Marshal Lieutenant
in the Austrian army. •
There is no longer any talk of the departure of the
Sovereigns : and when the affairs of Saxony are settled.
thee is little doubt but other difficulties will start up.
The Prussian Ministers complain somewhat loudly
af the versatile disposition of Austria: they charge
her with having formally consented, in the month ot.-
Octahei last, to the unien of Sariny with Prussi.i,
and with now opposing it by every effort. To provt
this, they quote niece Metternich's official cote of
the 22.1 of October; anal they bode that the cat
Prussia is ready to execute all the conditions on
Austria consented to the above union. These •
the demolition of the fortifications of Dresden, a:s,a
by die !'reach, and which alarmed the Austrian g-1
vesnment for Bohemia ; the free nasigatica of ut-
Elbe, and the supp.;•ssion of all the tolls on that rivo
They add, that Prusia fulfilled another condition stll.
more important ; that was, the inducing Russia ti.
renounce the plan of uniting all Pulatid to her
territories. Though the precise Pulist. provir.ces um•
would remain to Prussia and Austria were tail:cowl,.
it was at any rate decided that Russia should not
have the disposal of the whole of it. The King of
Saxony was to obtain new States in exchanEe tin
those he had lost, and Prussia was ready to cede
him the bishopricks of Paderborn, Mucstcr. ace
Corvey. • His territory would have exter,.!...d to the
Rhine; a portion of the old Electorate of Cologre
Mould have been also given him, and Bunn would
Lave been his c •pital. These district& were the hew:-
suited to the King of Saxony, as all the inhabitant
are Catholics.

The Prussian Ministers, in thc:r unte of the 121:.
of January, also advert to certain secret conventici.:
between the Allies ; one of which was, that the year
18011 should be taken as the basis of tie twat.: cot..
dition of Prussia. l'russia had then a population it:
from nine to ten millions, while Austri.t had twenty;
hut Austria has now a population of nnilions, and
how can the views of that Power, in regard to Italy.
be at present fully estimated ? it is just, therelote,
for the sake of a due proportion, that Prussia should
have a population of at least 13 nillions.
The Austrian Ministers, who are warmly attacked
in this note, maintain on the other hams, that they
never assented to the union of Saxony with Prussia ;
that such union is opposite to the interests of Austria
and Germany, and that their Government will never
agree to it. Such is the purport of Prince Metwr-
mch's new note, though it has not yet been officially
communicated to the Congress.

It is a circumstance deserving remark, that amidst
the warm discussion of their ministers, the Sovereigns
contrive to live together on the most friendly footing;
and it is hoped th.it theft assemblage in this capital,
their personal connections, and the mutual regard
which they discover, will prevent any rupture, even
though their cabinets should differ on some points.
Amidst all the speculations respecting Poland,
Saxony, and Italy, most people are here persuaded
that France will get a considerable increase of terri.
tory on the banks of the Rhine.

The population offered by Prussia to the King of
Saxony, in eompen•ation for his States, amounts to
about 700,000.

VIENNA. JANUARY 29.

Tomorrow will be an important day for the Con.
press. Austria has given in her note relative to
Saxony, and in reply to that of Prussia. The Powers
interested have yet only received it, and propose to
discuss it immediately. It is hoped that it will pro-
duce borne result : but we have been so often flat-
tered with vain hopes, that we begin to doubt every
thing.
