SAXONY.

The Saxons have risen from their despondency
'ince they heard that new and most powerful inter-
cessions are making at Vienna in their favour. The
)Zussian troops are quitting the country. It is af-
'armed, tbacin order to indemnify the King of Saxony
:tor ditties: of his kingdom, he was first offered the
ti thme +Legations of the Church States, and upon his
refitsaithe CroWn of Poland was offered to him; but
WreplieS:wiihl'Ormncss, that he would accept no in-
-1.111164,. 4itat he would not renounce his king-
dom. He hosi wt. titters to the Princes his brothers to
biAMV/tisralitilikci• e similar declaration to the Al-
,fryll itstitttiiti die letters from Vienna confirm
Di A'fr,:

the intelligence. that France and Austria, supported
even by England, anxiously interest themselves in
maintaining the independence of Saxony.

Prince Repnin quitted Dresden on the 13th instant
to proceed with his family to Vienna. His departure
was attended with every mark of honour and respect.

VIENNA.

The ratifications of the Treaty of Peace between
Russia and Denmark were exchanged at Vienna.—
, There is no doubt that the Hanover;an military divi-
sion will comprise Hamburgh and Bremen, that is,
the mouth of the Elbe and the Weser. It is said
that the Prussian military division will comprehend
.Lubec.

THE PRINCESS OF WALES.

NAPLES, NOVEMBER 10.

The arrival of her Royal Highness the Princess of
WALES has been a Fete for our Court. Every where
orders have been given to receive this PRINCESS with
the honours due to her rank. Picquets of Cavalry
were dispatched over the whole of the roads to serve
as an escort of honour to her Royal Highness. Out-
side of the city of Naples, detachments of Lancers
of the Royal Guards had been placed. It is thought
that her Royal Highness will make a long stay in our
city : there will be brilliant Fetes at the Court. The
troops assembled in the vicinity will execute, before
,her Royal Highness, grand military manceuvres.—
A very fine new brig has been armed, which will, in
future, bear the name of i:ie Princ.'ss of Wales.

We have no doubt th.tt the return of Sir li. Wet.-
LESLEY will put the public in possession of ample do-
cuments to chew his uniform disapproval of the recent
odious measures in Spain. In the mean time, we
but discharge our duty to an upright and enlightened
public character, by calling to the recollection of his
countrymen, the occurrences in which he has taken
a part. It was but on Tuesday last, that the French
Papers did Sir HENRY the justice to say, that but for
his remonstrances the lotof the Patriots of Spain would
have been much more severe. With respect to his
gallant brother, the Duke of WELLINGTON, there is
in exigence a most spirited remonstrance in his own
hand writing, delivered officially several months ago
to the Duke of San CAnLos, to be by him communi-
cated to King FERDINAND his master. This docu-
ment is, we hope, also doomed to see the light in
Great Britain. In Spain, under the present regime,
it never will.

Several of our gallant countrymen, distinguished
for their conduct in Spain, have had Royal Orders
and other honours conferred upon them, and
not a few have received estates from the King.—
Tllese may be fairly called the Royal Party, but
en that list we do not find the name of Sir HENRY
WELLESLEY. Indeed, if one may judge from his ac-
tions, his party has been that of every enlightened man
throughout Europe. He accompanied the REGENT to
Valencia, by desire of the Council of Regency, to con-
gratulate FERDINAND, but he immediately returned to
Aladtid. He had ao knowledge of the intended march
of Gen. Emo's army against the capital—indeed, he
could exercise no controul over it ; but it is upon re-
cord that in a manly and dignified manner he remon-
strated with an Englishman in the Spanish service,
who commanded a division of that army, and suspend-
ed all intercourse with him. To the honour of another
British Officer, similarly circumstanced, be it remem.
bored, that indignant at the idea of the Sovereign of a
brave and generous people entering his capital si•r-
rounded by an army, he refused to jwi in thr caval-
cade, and remained at Valencia.

We have, great pleasure in laying before our
Readers another instance, rot of the good faith
merely, but of the friendship of the French Govern-
ment towards this country. By information received
yesterday through a private channel it appears that
the True Blooded Yankee, which has committed so
many depredations on our British traders, was in the
harbour of Brest, under restrictions not to quit it.—
In defiance of the mandate of the Port Admiral she
made a successful attempt to leave the harbour, and
she is now at sea. On this circumstance being known
expresses were sent from Brest to Paris, with a state-
ment of the facts to the Minister of the Marine, and
the consequence has been that the property of An
American merchant, the owner of this privateer, who
resided at Paris, has been put under sequestration,
and to avoid the arrest of his person he has himself
withdrawn from the City.
May we not express regret that in the ports of Por-
tugal, a country which lies under manifold obliga-
tions to this country, American privateers should be
suffered to receive protection. By a letter from Lis-
bon of the 12th ultimo, we are informed that an
American privateer schooner, which had arrived there
some time ago with a valuable cargo of bark, and
had taken in another cargo for Philadelphia, had got
under weigh that morning, and put to sea. It was
understood that she had a person on board called
SHARP, but believed to be Mr. COCHRANE JOHNSTONE.
Two of our frigates, the GARLAND and CURAcOA,
also weighed anchor and stood out about halt an
hour after the departure of the American schooner.
As they passed Belem, a blank gun was fired to bring
them to, which not being instantly attended to, a
second was fired, when one of them came to. The
other returned the compliment by firing six guns, but
soon afterwards they both came to anchor. The let-
ter is silent respecting the fate of the American, but
we conclude that she got off clear. There was much
talk in Lisbon about this affair when the letter was
sent off, but as there had not been sufficient time to
ascertain the facts with precision, we are unable to
state farther particulars.

Colonel Watour is appointed to tucceeci Major-
General LATE in the command of the artillery in
North Britain. Colonel Walcott was Secretart to
the Garrison of Gibraltar during the greatest part of
the late war, in which situation he rendered many
very important services to Government during the
dreadful pestilential fevers of 1804 and 1813: he was
much distinguished for his humanity and exertions,
which will long be gratefully remembered in that
Garrison. We understand that he has written a most
interesting narrative of all that passed on these occa-
sions, and which, we have reason to hope, will soon
be committed to the press.
General 11/SLoP landed at Bombay in May last,

rive.l at Dublin from Templemore. '!'he West Kent
and Shropshire Militias remain on Dublin duty, and

The 2d Somerset Militia are at Cashel ; the Essex

By letters received at Bengal, from the Camp at
Rewah, dated the 10th of March last, we le.trn, that
the battering train and part of theinfantry had, on the
7th, separated from the Rewah force for their respec-
tive destinations ; we may therefore presume the cam-
paign is terminated.
Several transports are arrived at Greenock for the
purpose of conveying troops to Cork, destined for
America. A detachment of the '2d battalion 79th
Regiment, has been in readiness at Port Glasgow
these three weeks past, and a detachment from the

The CHAIRMAN proposed th.tt the 1,-'an ot T..ree
Millions, which was to have been pail next A
should be continued to N wember, 1816, with “ic
interest; that the balance, and all business with Go-
vernment, should be conducted as hitherto;
But the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER still rem
serves to Government the right asserted in Mr. PER.
CEVAL'S letter of 1808, which the public has to parti.
cipate in some way in the large profits which the DAnk
derives from the embarrassments of the times.

A Proprietor said he had no objection to continue
the Loan, but let its repayment be fixed for some de.
unitive period, and not allow the Governmen► to steal
on, every now and then, still reserving to itself
finite powers over the Bank.
