The Allgemeine Zeliung of the Sd instant, contains as
article from Vienna, stating that, on the 28th ultimo;
Prince MILTTERNICII would set out for Paris to visit
the Princess, his Consort, whose health has become
very precarious. The Court of Vienna will not go to
Italy till after the Easter holidays.

Frankfort Papers, to the 4th instant, reached us this
forenoon. They contain nothing of the slightest in-
terest to an English reader.

The Hamburgh Papers, a file of which we receive'
this forenoon, to the 6th instant, record an instance of •
religious intolerance in So.irzerland, which, though not
singular, is highly confirmatory of a strong charge
against the Roman Catholic Clergy,that they a:e inimi-
cal to education. It appears that the Rev. N. MUDDY,
Catholic Clergyman at Versois, had, on the distribu-
tion of the prizes in the girls school in his parish,made a
speech, in which he bestowed due praise on'the -tern of
mutual in,truction. The Rev.M.VIRARIN, Clergy man at
Geneva,who had declared against it in a pseudonymous
letter, " from Brother Bonnefoy w Father Girard, at
Frey burg," was indignant at this innovation, hastened
post to Ftcyburg, and induced the Bishop, who has the
title of Bishop of Geneva and Lausanne, to depose the
guilty party. But the inhabitant,, who did not see the
force of these reasons, obstinately refused to re-
ceive another Clergyman, and affirmed that Nl.Munnar
had hitherto preached the word of Goo to them
in such a minner that everybody could understand it,
' and that they would not have a Vicar who prated Latin
to them from the pulpit, of which neither they, nor he
himself, understood a word. _ _ _

The Clergyman of Collet-Bossy, and a M. BONDION,
have been sent to them, but instead of the singing in
the Mass, they set up a violent whistling and hissing!
mingled with threats, and have gone in a body to hear
Divine Strvice in the neighbouring Protestant village
of Gerithod.—This affair has created a great sensation
in Geneva, as it well might.

If some of the French Journals can be relied on,
FERDISAND VII. has at length consented to grant an

amnesty, and his Ministers have issued a Decree to that
effect to the Council of Castile. The Royal project

embraces five points :--lst, a free pai don to all Spa-
niards who have been guilty of political offences from
the 9th of March, 1820, to the Ist of October, 1823 ;
2d, the liberation of all persons who may be imprisoned
lor on trial for such offences ; 3d, an engagement that

all Spaniard; shall be promoted to ecclesiastical, judi-
cial, or military appointments, according to their me-
rits, whatever were their political opinions or public
conduct during the Revolution; 4th, a prohibition to
the Royalists to urge their special services, opinions,
or intentions during the Revolution, as constituting a
claim to public offices, or Government appointmeats ;
and, sth, an order to the refugees, who are called emi-
grants, to return home in three months, on pain of
forfeiting the benefits of this Act.
This project of amnesty contains no exceptions
with respect to the Constitutionalists ; and in its hint
to the Royalists not to present their special services
as titles to partial promotion, really goes farther than
was necessary. But what has the Council of Castile
chine with these liberal propositions ? It has made a
report, in which ii declares the proposed measure ill-
timed and impossible to be executed; adding, that
his Majesty's Government had not properly appre-
ciated the dangers of placing public employments in
the hands of a certain class of persons,—that is, Con-
stitutionalists. The Royalist volunteers; unfortunately,
join the Council of Castile, and, fearing that a pro-
hibition to assassinate their Constitutional fellowrciti-
aens may be a prelude to the establishment of a
Constitution, shout " Long live the Absolute King !
"No Cortes ! No Chambers!" The project has again
been submitted to the Council, and we shall be glad to
hear that the Spanish Ministers have the courage to
carry it into effect against all opposition.

With the exception of the mutiny of the Sepoys at
Barrackpore, of which we gave an account in the STAR
of yesterday, the intelligence from India is rather grati-
fying. The accounts from Rangoon are to the 22d of
October, and although a-detachment of troops had been
repulsed in an attack on one of the stockades, yet, on
the other hand, the army under the command of Sir
ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL had taken Tavay and several
other forts on the coast of Siam, where the inhabitants
mutinied against their native rulers, and received the
British with open arms. This is a circumstance of the
highest importance, as it ensures to our troops an ample
supply of provisions, and most conslierably facilitate
the future operations of •ur army. It was expected
that Sir ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL would be enabled to
advance against Umnsecapoora, the capital of Ave,
►y the end of -November, and should he succeed in his
