This morning Lord Castlereagh and his Lady,

The Emperor is now happily much better. His
Majesty appeared yesterday, for the first time, at
table.

The King or Denmark is indisposed; it is feared
seriously.

Lord Castlereagh has been in serious conference
for some days with the Hanoverian Minister, Count
Munster, on the following subject:
The Princess Charlotte of Wales, daughter of the
Prince Regent, will one day be heiress of the three
Crowns of England, and the Princes of the Royal
House May lose, in another order of things, :t part
of their influence. The kingdom of Hanover will
remain always the same.
The great fiefs of Germany cannot descend to
women. They should then profit by the moment in
which England is so powerful to make the most ad-
vantageous arrangements for this kingdom, and to
shield it from the risk of disorder. The Duke of York
is, as one may think, much interested in this affair.
VIENNA, FEBRARU Y 17.
Our rate of exchange was yesterday at 265.
The project of restoring the Kingdom of 1t.:17,
and changing at the same time its limits, is now eery
well received, in spite of the opposition which it-first
experienced.
It is now said that the Duchies of Parma, Placentia,
and Guastalla, which were intended for the Arch.
duchess Maria Louisa and her son, will be given back
by her in consideration of proper indemnities. The
new kingdom of Italy will therefore be enlarged by
these duchies—Milan and Venice will become the
capitals. It is also said, that the ci-dvant Republic
of the Seven Islands in the lonian Sea will be re-
united to this new kingdom, as points of appui, and
favourable places of communication for the commerce
of the Levant.

TRACT PROM A PRIVATE LETTER.
The Anniversary of the Birth of our Emperor has
been celebrated without pomp. The Emperor and
Empress heard Mass at eight o'clock. On their re-
turn, they found the Emperor Alexander in the uni-
form of an Austrian General, and the Empress of
Russia in grand costume, and covered with diamonds,
who felicitated the Austrian family, and were imme-
diately followed by the other Sovereigns, Princes,
and Archdukes. They all dined with the Emperor
Alexander, who bad also invited the three Marshals,
Wellington, 6chwartzenberg, and de Wrede.
The departure of the King of Denmark is put off,
on account of his indisposition. The preparations
for the journey of the other Sovereigns are continued
with activity. The Provincial Authorities have re-
ceived orders to repair the roads to Warsaw, Berlin,
and Munich.
Before his departure Lord Castlereagh received
from the Empress of Austria some beautiful vases
of our Porcelain manufactories.
The journey of the Emperor Francis into Italy is
again mentioned.
The Courier who is expected, will be the bearer of
the King of Saxony's signature to the arrangements
of Congress respecting him. It is false that troops
are sending from hence to Italy.
MADRID, FEBRUARY 15.
A new sentence has been promulgated agii:vt dif-
ferent individuals arrested since the month of May last
year. Exile, fine, and to a small number the sallies,
are to be the punishments. The mysterious conduct
of England causes much inquietude here. We have
no means of escaping so formidable a creditor. And
though the Peninsula has proved she can resist inva-
sion ; our vast colonial possessions are vulnerable ;
our ancient connection with France, and the re-union
of both navies could scarcely secure our independence.
Our squadron for the expedition has again put back,
and its destination is thought to be changed, owing
to the reports, more or less founded, relative to the
English Government.

Numerous Petitions were last night presented to
both Houses of Parliament against the Corn Bill. To
the House of Lords the Earl of DARNLEY took occa-
sion, in alluding to the Meeting at Maidstone, to de-
meat. all inflammatory language both in and out of
doors, as tending to mislead the people into the com-
mission of crimes. His Lordship declared that his
only object in supporting the measure, was to obtain
a steady and regular price of bread for the poor, and
at the same time abundance of employment by the
encouragement of agriculture.
In the House of Commons Mr. PROTHEROE and
Mr. HART DAVIS, the Members for Bristul, pre-
sented a Petition signed by upwards of MOOG of
their Constituents against the Corn Bill, which both
Gentlemen declared met with their individual disap-
probation. Bimini'. Petitions were presented from the
Ward of Cripplegate, from Sheffield, from the Parish
of St. Olave, Southwark, and St. Luke's, Middlesex.

Upon the subject of the Bank Restriction, the
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated that the Bank
would resume its payments in cash by the month of
July in next year.

The Public have lost one of their 77searical fa-
vourites, Miss MELLOW having been, on Wednesday,
converted into Mrs. Courre, the Lady of the opulent
Banker of that name. The charitable disposition of
the Lady entitles her to the good wishes of all. She
is now the mother-in-law of the Dowager Counteu of
GUILDFCM% the Dowager Machioness of Burs, and
of Lady Bvarcri.

—His speech was received with universal bursts of
applause.
