We have now received Paris Papers to the 29th
ult. and, however scanty the intelligence they convey,l
it is nevertheless capable of exciting high interest in
the present state of Europe. Numerous arrests daily
take place at Vienna ; and, from the description of
persons thus become objects of suspicion to the slaves
at the Austrian Court, who still cling to the French
cause, we have no doubt that great changes are about
to take place in Austria. The wishes of the Nobles,
the Army, and the People, are evidently with the
Anglo-Russian cause the miserable and degraded
Father-in-Law of the Corsican. and those immedi-
ately about his person, alone seem inclined to tem-
porize with all the combatants. But this is no time
for armed neutralities, and Austria should be told so
by the Ministers of Russia and Great Britain. We
presume that the patriots of Germany, Baron HoR.
MAYEN and Dr. SCIINFIDER, are now shut up in the
dungeons of Olmutz, for holding the same intrepid
language. Both these v;rtuous characters have been
frequently denounced by BONAPARTE in former
years ; and, if our recollection does not fail us, a
price was set upon the head of Dr. SCHNEIDER,
for his services in the Tyrol in 1809 ;—services
which, at'the time, called forth the approbation of
that Sovereign who has now consigned him to impri-
sonment for a similar display of loyalty and patrio-
tism.—Surely FRANCIS, that mild and acc iplished
Gentleman—that representative of the once chivalrous
Dukes of Austria, and the descendant of MARIA
TERESA, did not sign the warrant for Senszinsit's
commitment. The grand-father of the King of Rome,
and the father-in-law to the august NAPOLEON, may
well be excused from the performance of any acts of
magnanimity, for which other Sovereigns have been
renowned ; but as a man, the Emperor of 'Austria
ought to recollect that gratitude is due to:the suppor-
ters of his Throne and existence on former occasions,
and that posterity will call him to a severe account
for this wanton outrage upon all that is estimable
among mankind !

We are the more anxious to point the finger, of
execration at this atrocity at the present moment,
because Baron WEssENaaao, the Austrian Minister,
has arrived in London ; —and we trust that, as
at former periods in our history. Great Britain he-
came the advocate of the oppressed Protestants
throughout Europe, her Ministers, on behalf of the
prostrate nations around them, will demand the in.
stant liberation of the Patriots of Germany from the
dungeons of Olmutz. Great Britain, the Protector
of the Liberty of the Press, and Russia, the Cham-
pion of the Independence of Europe, cannot surely
treat with a miscreant, who is so completely degrad-
ed by the enemy of all human happiness, as to tor-
ture, chain, and imprison his faithful and virtuous
subjects at the nod of the tyrant.
The same Papers which announce these afilicting
events, contain a Speech from the President of the
Legislative Body of France, in which he says, that the
recent disasters of France have been repaired in a
moment I After this it is scarcely necessary to add,
that nothing can be gathered from this absurd pro.
duction.—The Coronation of the King of Rosin is
again and spin threaseried. Does the Emperor,

• A letter received by a Mercantile House in the
City from Bremen, communicates the intelligence of
the surrender of Generals MORAND and ST. CYR.—
The letter is dated the 19th ultimo, and contains the
following statement

44 That General Mound, who commanded the retreating army
from Stralsund, and General St. Cyr, who ebmmanded that from
Hamburgh and Bergadorf, had arrived in Bremen, with the Bre-
men Prefect, and eight other French officers, eleven, in all. It
being impossible for them to escape, on account of the general
insurrection round about the city of Bremen, Generals Morand
and St. Cyr; with the Prefect and other officers, threw them-
selves upon the mercy aid protection of the principal people at
Bremen, who have given their words to protect, at least, their
persons from the fury of the populace. There is no doubt they
will be made prisoners by the Russians."

The account of the operations of General MORAND,
received by the last Heligoland Mail, chew that he
was reduced to great extremity in his retreat from
Swedish Pomerania, and this renders the above report
the more probable; but it is remarkable that nothing
is said of the troops of that General, or of those which
were under the command of Sr. CYR. .

A native of Germany, who has travelled from
Bourdeaux through France to Holland, and wh2,
within forty-eight hours left the opposite shore, states
that much anxiety prevailed at Paris to ascertain what
were the intentions of the EMPEROR of AUSTRIA, as
to the approaching campaign, and it is said that not
only Trieste and Fiume, but the Venetian States are
offered to him, on the condition of his co-operation
with the forces of BONAPARTE. The same Gentle-
man represents the authority of the French as very
I precarious in Holland, if any security could be given
to the Dutch, that they would be powerfully sup-
ported in their resistance to the common enemy.

Yesterday his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK,
Earl MOIRA, and Viscount CASTLEREAGH, had au-
diences of the PRINCE REGENT, at Carlton House.

We refer our Readers to the Report of the Budget
in the House of Commons for the new Taxes, con-
sisting of an increase of the War Taxes, and addi-
tional duties of Customs and Excise upon various
articles. The only objection, perhaps, to them is to
the increased duty upon French wines, not as to the
article itself, but as it may induce Ministers, for the
sake of an additional revenue, to give a greater faci-
lity to their introduction.—The sum proposed to be
raised is as follows :
