VIENNA, JANUARY Is.

The belief is, an amicable agreement upon the'
grand affairs before the Congress continues to prevail.
From all sides it is repeated, that all the parties ap.
proximate, and that the conclusion is at hand. A few
days ago, a great Prince and Statesman was made
to say, on the occasion of a ball, that in three days
all• the peat points would be settled, and in three
weeks the Congress at an end. All parties, without
any exception, promise themselves that the Congress
will be over in a month.
The. day before yesterday some circumstances led
to a •supposition that the Emperor Alexander was
preparing to depart, but we hear now that he intends
Snit to use the waters here. It is, however, by no
means believed that he will stay till the affairs of
Germany are settled, but that be will go as soon as
tha general concerns of Europe are decided on.
The affairs of Germany are indeed under discus.
sion. but till Poland, Saxony, and the left bank of the
Rhine are disposed of, they are in the back ground.

Since Saturday we have received a most abundant
supply of Continental Journals. Those from Paris
are of the 26th, and those from Brussels and Frank-
fort are of the same date. Every thing on the Con-
tioent hears the most pacific aspect. It is true that
large military reinforcements are hastening towards
Belgium from various parts of Clermany, but prift.
eipally from Hanover. The policy of this measure
of precaution is obvious. The French (we mean those
of the Bonapartean School) have still a strong party
in the Netherlands; and there are abundance of mili-
tary men out of employment, who look to nothing
short of a revolution in that part of Europe in Invent
of French interests. This is an event which the
whole Allied Powers, but more particularly Holland
and Great Britain, are interested in preventing. It
will be necessary, therefore, that a strong cordon
shouhi be drawn in front of Belgium, on the side
of France, for several years to come, or at least
until the. French nation have acquired habits of
industry and virtue, and the fetid bubble coiled
glory has completely burst over the headset themost

fenceless and unarmed inhabitants ought to be per-
mitted to garrison any frontier town in Europe.
War, rapine, assassination, and desolation, are the
watchwords of all such hell-hounds, end whether they
are sanctioned by their Government or not, their pro-
pensities will be sooner or later indulged. We trust
we have said enough to open the eyes of the French
Government to their real interests, and to the best in-
terests of humanity.
If EXCELUANS has been acquitted, the garrison of
Lille and the military district around it are in most i
dangerous hands, and the sooner they are put upon
demi frailness, it will be the better for the rest of
mankind.

As our Paper was putting to Press, we received
Brussels Papers of the 27th, but they contain nothing
of importance.

Ministers are mustering all their strength against
the approaching Meeting of Parliament. A warm dis.
cession and even a division is expected on the first
night. The following is a copy tscircular which
has been received by several of their friends : it has
been sent to every part of the country :
" Divisions—Treasury. Wednesday, Je5.115.
"Year attendance Is MOST ZARNISTLT and MOST PARTICU.
WILT requested In the HOMO 011C0103110011. 00 Tbursday, the
eth of February. It being cesldentiy muted slat a &Won
will tabs place at that day."
At a select Catholic Meeting in Dublin, on Mon-
day last, it was agreed that Lord DONOUGHUORE and
Mr. GRATTAN should continue to be entrusted with
presenting the Catholic Petitions to Parliament. An
Aggregate Meeting was held on the following day,
Tuesday. Lord Fixes., on being called to take
the Chair, declined. A Dublin Paper states, that
he said faith was broken with him on the subject of
the Vote. He disapproved the resolutions, and retired
in a torrent of bilges Mr.O'Conon, of Belanagar, was
then called to the Chair, and Resolutions for unqua-
lified Emancipation were moved and carried. A
letter was read from Lord DoNotionstoas, declining
the presentation of the Catholic Petition ; but, at the
same time, expressing his decided conviction, that
Emancipation should be granted unclogged by Re-
striction, and unqualified by Securities.
Saturday last a numerous Meeting of the inhabi-
tants of Halifax, Yorkshire, took place at the Talbot
Inn, in that town, when it was unanimously resolved
to Petition Parliament for the repeal of the Income
Tax.
Yesterday, a detachment of the 17th, or Leices-
tershire Regiment of Foot, consisting of twenty-four
fine young men, under the command of Ensign Viiit.
NON, 80th Regiment, marched into Chatham from the
depot at Maldon, preparatory to immediate embarka-
tion to join the regiment in India.
An alarming fire, and destructive in its come.'
queues, broke out, a few minutes before, five o'clock
on Saturday morning, at the house of Mrs. Wale
roan, a most respectable dress.snaker, in Conduit-
streets Bond.street. The flames were first discovered
in the back part of the premises, and, iris afrww)ed, i
the fire brake out in the work-womcns' room, on the
fist floor. The number usually employed in the room i
was twelve or thirteen. Mrs. WALFORD rescued five
of het children from the flames, but a sixth, a fine
boy, about twelve years old, fell a prey to the de-
vouring clement. He slept in the two pair backs
room, and must have been suffocated before the lame-
could reach him. This unfortunate youth was af-
flicted with deafness, which probably prevented him
from hearing the noise which the alarm of fire occa.
sioned. lii leu than an hour the house was a heap
of ruins within its walls. Mrs. WALFORD had lately
buried her husband and her eldest son, for whom the
family was in mourning, and her present additional
affliction is most deeply to be deplored. The roof of
the adjoining house is considerably injured.
Wednesday night last, about twelve o'clock, a
MA destructive fire broke our in the manufactory of
Mr. ions CLAY, pipe and brush manufacturer, on
Lion Terrace, Portsmouth, which in a short time
consumed the whole of the extensive building, with
its stock, the tools used in the above branches, and a
variety of other valuable articles. So rapid were the
flames that Mrs. CLAY and her children to escape
then, were obliged to encounter the inclemency_ of
the Might with scarcely any clothes about them.

Several of the North country Coaches, which were
to have arrived in the course of Saturday, did not
reach town till last night, owing to the great depth
of snow in various parts of the road. At Northamp-
ton the snow lay the height of the tops of the coaches
is many parts, till chewed away by the peasantry.
The Clerk of a Banker in Margate is stated, in the
French Papers,to have been *arrested at Calais on the
19th, in consequence of an application made by
Mann. Fano* and Idnrirr of Dover.. The prisoner
had carried off, it is said, paper to the rains of
486,000 sterling. He was taken at the Kingston
Hotel in Calais, and delivered up to the police nearly
the whole of the property. His wife was appre-
hended id this country, when about to embark to join
Wednesday last Thais Nay and Nary O'Neil were
emoted at Illornisigside, in the vicinity of Edin-
burgh, hr three diferent acts of highway robbery, as
deseribed in a former paper. They were executed
on the spot where the most atrocious of their alias
was committed. They were both Irishmen and
Catholics.
