Hanseatic Cities being guaranteed, anJ, probably, the

L {fosse, Architect. of' the City, •is charged with the
direction of the works.

Letters from Antwerp state, that there are in that
town a great number of Hessians and Han.cerans in,
the pay of England. It appears that the inhabitants
in general are but little satisfied with the c.naduct of
these troops, which presents a singular contrast toots
discipline observed by the French during their stay in'
the town.

The greatest satisfaction is expressed in Gergrany

VIENNA, OCTOBER 7.
An impenetrable veil still covers the operations of
Congress, and we are even ignorant of the subjects
under discussion. • The most perfect harmony seems
to prevail between the English and French Plenipo-
tentiaries.

OCTOBER 9.—The opinion of those who assert that
the opening of the Congress is fired for the 18th of
'this month, is every day more and more confirmed.
The transactions of Congms, it is supposed, will
be all published in the German language.
The interesting work on the Congress of Vienna,
'published at Erlang, by the celebrated Professor Lips,
has been prohibited under severe penalties, and all
the copies have been confiscated. This measure is
attributed to the complaints of the Envoys of several
Courts.

It is said that the Emperor Alexander and the
King of Prussia will proceed on the 25th to Bred;
on a visit to the Archduke Palatine of Hungary, and
r to see the tomb of the sister of the Emperor Alex in.

remain but a short time at Vienna.

The Sovereigns proceeded yesterday at noon with
the whole Court, to the Palace of Luxembourg, w:seret
they breakfasted, and then promenaded in the gardens

FRONTIERS OF AUSTRIA, OCTOBER 6.
The negociations between the Plenipotentiaries as-
sembled at Vienna have turned hitherto chiefly on
the admission or non-admission of different Pout.; s
to the sittings of the Congress. We are assured that
the French Plenipotentiary has given in a note rela-
tive to this matter.
ROME, OCTOBER 1.
The Prince of Saxe-Gotha is expected in this city.
A Turk, from the environs of Tunis, named Mas-
sand, will be solemnly baptizedon Tuesday next, ire
the church of the Holy Apostles. The ceremony
will be performed by his Eminence Cardinal Litta.
To-day, being the feitival of the Rosary, the bro.
therhood of the order of St. Dominic have resumed
the habit of their profession. We view with pleasure
the restoration of an order which has given to the
church thirteen saints solemnly canonized, more than
60 persons who have been beatified, four sovereign
pontiffs, three of whom are inscribed among the
saints ; 65 cardinals, 21. patriarchs, 700 archbishops,
1800 bishops, 43 apostolical nuncios, and a great
many other learned and courageous defenders of oar
religion.
In a secret consistory of the 27th of September, the
Holy Father pronounced a very pathetic oration on
the mischief done to the church by the impious man
of these latter times, and on the extraordinary and
providential events which have gloriously delivered
it. His Holiness rejoiced particul irly to see France
restored to her excellent king, td her very christiaa
king, and enterta;ned the most happy hopes of the in-
crease of religion m that fine kingdom. He bestowed
the greatest eulogies on the courage, the p;e•y, and
the charity of the illustrious French ladies, a ho, J.,-
ring the persecution, were entirely employed in re-
lieving the ministers of the church, who wire de-
rived of all means of existence.
His Holiness, speaking afterwards of the goad
which he has already effected with the assistance of
Gon, since his return to Rome, announced, that he
had banished all the secret conventicles, which were
not less fatal to the State than to religion ; that he
had revived from its ashes.the company of Jesus, the
most useful of religious societies, to extend the king.
dom of Gon, and procure the salvation of souls; that
he had opened again the convents of the religions,
against which the rage of the persecutor was so vio-
lently directed ; finally, that he had restored the holy
virgins, whom impious and sacrilegious lauds had
dragged film their cloisters.
