TURIN, DECEMBER 24.

The Marquis de Cirrail, Aide-de-Camp to his
Sardinian Majesty, arrived here as a messenger ex-
traordinary this morning, from his father, the WK.
quis de St. Marsan. our Minister at Vienna, wall the
important intelligence to his Majesty, that, by the
tenor of the promote, of the 12th of December,
approved the same day, and signed the 14th, by the
Ministers composing the Congress, the cession of
the Genoese territory to his Majesty has been de-
finitively resolved upon, and that it was settled,
that his Majesty may make such arrangements as
he may think fit, for organizing the Government of
that State. 1

An order has-been dispatched to the General com.
manding the English troops at Genoa, to deliver up
the Government to the person appointed by his Ma-
jesty, and to consider his troops in future as auxi-
liaries to those of the King of Sardinia.
This important acquiaition to our Sovereign, is a
consequence of the avowed necessity of forming a
more equal balance of power among the Italian
States; and unites two neighbouring countries; form-
ed to esteem and appreciate each other, under the
dominion of one of the most ancient Sovereigns of
Europe.
PETERSBURG, DECEMBER 2.

M. Poethard has invented a machine by which boats
can ascend the Volga laden with salt. Already IS
vessels, laden with 80,000 pud each of salt, have na-
vigated up that river by means of this ingenious con,
trivan.ce ; it saves a great deal of manual labour, and
consequently of expence. M. Diriabin has made a
very favourable report of its utilities to the Ministet
lof the interior.
The Persian Ambassador arrived the 24th of Oc-
tober, where he was received with all the honours
due to his rank ; the day following his arrival his Ex-
cellency dined with the Civil Governor, where the
bealths of the Emperor and his Persian Majesty were
dr.inlc. This Officer has been some time in England,
and speaks a little English ; his manners are more
European than Asiatic ; his suite is very numerous,
and includes 150 horses. He reached as far as NO-
wotaclitrkalc on the 10th of November.
CADIZ, DECEMBLR 6.

Our commerce .is in a deplorable state. The dis.
count on bills of exchani,e 412. per cent. ; the ordi.
nary course of exchange is every where much against
us. The royal paper is at a depreciation of 68 pet
cent. Oar richest merchants speak seriously of trans.
porting themselves and their properties to America :
and it the unfortunate tidings respecting New Spaio
shall be confirmed, it is feared that much of our capi.
tat, which now enriches not only the Andalusias, but
other parts of Spain, will shortly go to augment the
wealth of the natiee,HispanoAmericans.

countryman, General Alava:
" The King, wilt the advice of several Ministers honoured
with his confidante, commands me to make known his pleasure
to Don Joseph De Velasco, Deputy of the province of Alava, in
an order, which among other matters contains the following in-
junctions: •
" His Majesty having weighed the motives la consideration of
which orders had been issued for the- arrest of Don Miguel
Pica* De Alava, has ascertained that they are without foun-
dation, and that the consequent 11:v4MM:tent is altogether un-
just; and as his Majesty neither can nor should rest satisfied
that any of kis subjects should be victims to injostice, he orders
that the said Alava shall be forthwith set at liberty, with a fall
declaration of the injustice and illegality of his arnot, which saw;
not, therefore, be allowed to do the 'lighten Injury to hit cba,

FRIDAY, JANUARY 6, 1815.
Eearmase.—Holiday at the Stock Euhauge.

We have received Paris Papers of Monday last.
A delectable obscurity still bangs over all the intelli
gence from Vienna. Amid this dg darkr.ess visible.'
however, there are one or two great points which wr
apprehend are settled. Prussia seems to consider
herself secure in the possession of Saxons-, and it 1:
but justice to her to say that her Ministers have eu-
tered upon their new functions with great delicacy.'
and in the true spirit of meekness and conciliation.
Some few Saxons of the Catholic persuasion (for
the King is a Catholic) still testify a desire for hfs
restoration, and these are backed by the few jaccibins
of Saxony, who pinned their faith, like their ur.
happy Sovereign, upon the 'n1'1,101;14 of the great
NANO -EON. It ou;ht to be recollected, however, the
the war which this petty Prince waged in concert
with his patron, against Germany, WAS so Unpopular
in his own States, and particularly in his army, that
he was finally abandoned by his subjects to the las:
mein, when the Allies entered Leipsic. indeed it
would be a matter of great doubt, if he was restored
to his throne, that his subjects could ever pay hiol
suit and service with the cordial reverence which

due to a Monarch, to whom experience hu tang!),
wisdom. and to whom adversity has been the schoc' ,

of reform.

May of life
}lath fallen into the sass, the yellow leaf,
And that which should accompany old age.
As honour, love, obeJience, troop. of Mend%
Re cannot look to have!

With respect to Pola', the intelligence from
Vienna is of the most conflicting description : it bat•
lies all attempt at scrutiny—one day we are told that
it. is to be independent, the next that it is to be par-
tiaoned ; and then we have it given in perpetuity to
RUSSid. 111 the midst of these contradictory accounts
we cannot do better than submit thein to • the judg-
ment of our 'Readers without comment.

The affairs of Italy are still unsettled. The inlw•
bitants generally expected independpice and a new
constitution ; in this they have been disappointed, and
dissatisfaction is every where evident. In a tea
weeks or months, we fear that this spirit will breai
out in open insurrection. The BologGese are already
threatening the Austrian Authorities to whose govern.
ment they have been transferred. MURAT is marching
his troops to assist his Austrian Ally in quelling these
disturbances, but his troops desert from him in &tea
numbers by the way. Are we to infer from this that
the Neapolitans are pleased with King JoAciast the
Great as their Sovereign, or the reverse/

The Brussels Papers present the projet for a Ger-
man confederation, said to kave'been proposed in the
conferences between Austria, Prussia, Wurtecnberg,
Bavaria, and Hanover, as a basisfor the arrangement
of Germany. It tousists of twelve articles, and in ip '
general features assimilates to the constitution whicl.
Germany had before the French Revolution; dividing
the whole into circles, each independent,txceptingonly
that portion of sovereignty delegated to the Oener4l
Head for the general protection. Several districts
having by the events of the war been incorporated
with other States, some of these will nut revert to
the Empire; but several princely Houses of suavest
antiquity and population will be admitted to votes
in the general affairs of the Empire,
Same of this arrangement will of course depend on
poistsnot.yet settled at Vienna, where much mystery
.till covers the proceedings .of tht Congress. Indeed

it is in3Assibto4...fr6a..lol*4 that has ret trans+
eithariaiwerthrone the medium of the Con-
tinental Journals, tq girds 'ail precise idea of the real
state of affairs. According to the accounts published
in the latter, Austria and Englabd are said to draw
together on the questions relating to Saxony and Po-
land ; while Russia and Prussia take another side.—
On these questions, France, it is said, supports Aus-
tria and England; but on the questions of Naples
differs from them.

Spain, Portugal, and Sweden, are in most questions
said. to be with France. Bavaria, it is stated; agrees
with Austria and France; but Wurtemberg has
...hanged his policy, and now attaches himself to Rus-
sia and Prussia, opposing in consequence the restora-
tion of the King of SAXONY. We have already men-
tioned, that,smarriage is in contemplation between
the Hereditary Prince of WURTEMBERO and a Rus-
sian Princess. The. King of BAVARIA is said.to have
signed alirontr ef Alliance with Austria, and the
King of ',natatorium, who was about to qUit Vienna,
a Treaty off' Alliance with Prussia. We • have thus
merely a statement 4 differences, without any indi.
cation of a probabintrof abeir adjust tut.

Imitation of the Emperor to re-establish, at least itO4
min-illy, Poland as a nation, though in reality render.
ing it an appendageof Russia. Instead, therefore,
of any approximation to a final agreement upon the
points in discussion at Vienna, every account
.from
thenee serves to remove us still farther from the
wished for object. We learn, however, from Turin,
that the Congress at Vienna had cot= to one decision,
which probably will not prove very satisfactory to the
Genoese, it being stated that official intelligence had
arrived at Turin, annonneing that on the 14th ult. a
protocol was signed by the respective Plenipoten-
tiaries, by which Genoa is finally ceded to the King
Of SARDINIA.
Some of the Vienna letters speit with great con-
fidence of the resolution of the Emperor ALEXANDER
to assume the title of Km° Of POLAND, and assert
with equal confidence that the Xing of Pnunsa will
have Saxony. The expected marriage between the
Archduke CHARLEIi44 the sister of ALEXANDER may
have smoothed some dilferencis of opinion between
the two Emperors ; evident that im-
portant disCussions must take place before a final at-
rangemeat can take place. • .

A Norway Paper, .puhlished in the Danish. lan_
guage, comprehends iotne further notificatiiins of thv
Constitution formed in May, .when she declared her.
set independent, but bearitag a near resemblance to it.
The Paper contains an introduction, stating generally
the authority over the two Kingdoms as vested in the
reigning Sovereign of Sweden. This is followed by a
recapitulation of the principal Articles of the former
Constitution, classed under the respective heads, of
Religion, the Royal Family, the Diet, Commerce, &c
and two new Articles are super•added, by the one
of which a National Bank is to be established exclu.
sively for Norway—and by the other it is provided,
that the flag for the purposes of tretde shall be distin-
guished as the ancient Norwegian banners ; but that
the flag for the concerns of war shall be those of
Norway and Sweden united. The fundamental law
is then recognized in a short letter from the Swedish
Commissioners, in which they accept the Constitution
in the name of their Monarch ; and the whole is closed
by a Declaration of the Line of Succession, which is
determined in favour of JOHN CHARLES BRRNADODER
and OSCAR his son, on the demist of the present oc.
cupant of the throne.

If we are to credit adiices from the Florida., it
was very probable that the British expedition to New
Orleans would arrive so as to be enabled to intercept
the return of General Jackson; but if any means of
escape were left to him, it must have beep by the
'.nods of the interior country. The force tinder his
'rders was of an irregular description, but probably
amounting to 8,000 men. The British troops, now
.opposed to be on the shores of the Mississippi. wonld
:each the numerical strength of 10 or 12,000 men.—
The communication between New Orleans and Pen-
' acola is principally by water, which will considerably
facilitate any operations that the 'British Commander
may contemplate in that direction.
The following is an extract from a letter of the
Commander .of the Moseow; which has arrived at
Liverpool :
" On the 7th November the American army took possession.
of Pensacola, when I received orders to make the but of my
way to the Havannah. At this time the Seahorse frigate was
6riaZ upon the American army : we being in the way of the
shot, I was compelled to slip my stream cablo,and to drop out
of the way, and with the assistance of the men of war, we got
to stn on the 9th November, with the loss of our stream wiebor,
cable buoy, and buoy rope, and in the passage to the Havana's!'
was chased by a Carthagenian privateer, but fortunately escaped,
Iran the ship's appearance and sailing."
A valuable interchange has been made at the
eastern and western extremities of the globe. The
Maranham Cotton, cultivated so abundantly in the
Brazils, has been transplanted into the East Indies,
and the experiinent has been attended with great
success. Under the patronage of the Prime Minister,
ARAUJO, a number of tea plants with Chinese gar&
ners have been imported into the Brazils, and the
plantations formed under their inanigement afford
every prospect of a rich harvest' frown that important
vegetable. The decoction-prepared froM this exotic
is •saiel to.be equal to that poduced from the com-
-044 on its nativoti-soi‘rettitol"::-.
