VIENNA, FEBRUARY 2S

The Austrian 06:tryer makes the rcmark, which is
notunim portant, that the plan of the Constitution prin-
ted by order rf the Senate of Frankfort contains pre-
cisely the political principles disapproved by the 4th ar-
ticle of the act of Congress :'among other points the
prokct infringes on the eqii.ility granted to the three
religious persuasions established in Gamany. The
Observer seems to believe, that the Senate and citi-
zens. of Francfort will not. agree together, and that
the Powers will interpose.

FRANKFORT, MARCH 7.
Two English Couriers arrived a few di ago with
dispatches, which are said to be of great importance.

At the election for the office of Secretary to the
Scots Corporation, yesterday, the number were as
follow :—For Mr. ROBERT AULD, 460; Mr. ALEXAN-
DER GRANT, 102; Mr. ALEXANDER FRASER, 34.••
Mr. Auto was of course declared duly elected.
In Dublin alone, Notices to discontinue 1050
Jaunting Cars and Gigs have been sent to the proper
Office. This, of course. must proportionably dimin!sh
the taxable objects, under the heads of-44 Horses"
and “ Servants ;" and further must, and has thrown
I out of employment, Saddlers, Coach-makers, Painters,
Harness-makers, Smiths, and a crowd of other la.
bourers and artisans, who derived support from th;s
article, so necessary to the comforts of a c Ip:til city.
The reductions of junior Clerks in all the Public
Ogices, but particularly those connected with the
Army and Navy, are proceeding rapidly ; a:thongh
they are attended with considerable inconvenience at
the present moment, from the number of accounts
and estimates to be made up, in order to be laid be-
fore Parliament.

An order arrived at Plymouth Yard a few days
ago from the Admiralty Board; which diffused uni-
versal satisfaction. It had been fully expected that
Some hundreds of men would have been discharged ;
and as no work was to be obtained in any part of the
country, many had contemplated reluct tnt emigra-
tion to America, the Brazils, &c. The order, how-
ever, alluded to, directed, that, with the exceptwn of
27, discharged for loss of time, no further-reduction
was to take place. The hours of working were also
abridged, the men being directed to enter ihe yard
not earlier than eight o'clock in the summer, and
half-past eight in the winter, and to quit at five
o'clock in the afternoon in summer,' and at four in
winter. Thus, while the workmen obtain more hours
for rest and recreation, the desired reduction in wages
will be obtained, by their not being able to earn the
great war-wages, through want of time. It is sup-
posed that about X 30,000 per annum will be saved
by this measure ; which, while it gives general satis-
faction, secures the artificers to the country. We
understand that, in consequence of this regulation, a
meeting of the artificers was about to be held, for
'the purpose of gratefully thanking Lord MELVILLE
for his attention to their interests.

Extract of a letter from Quebec, dated February 4,
1816 :—" On the night of the 26th of Janumy,
very alarming and destructive fire took place, which
totally consumed the arsenal and the whole range of
buildings to the end towards Palace-gate guArd-
house ; the Artillery Barracks and the Office of Ord•
nance were saved by much exertion, with the pri-
vate houses opposite the buildings destroyed."
The subjoined is an extract pf a letter from an
Officer in the Company's service, dated Camp Hy.
drabad, October 11, 1815 We have just retur-
ned to .this place from Poonah, whither we were
marched to demand au explanation and satisfaction,
if required, for the death, under very suspicious cir.
cumstances, of some of our Officers." The Inter
does not give any farther particulars ; but refers to a
letter of a prior date, which has not been received.
Yesterday morning a miserable looking African,
apparently in the last stage of poverty and wretched-
ness, was seen lurking about in one of the Transfer
Offices in the Bank. His. sorrowful and woe-begone"
appearance had an immediate effect upon the clrari-
table dispositions of some of the Clerks there, who
made up a purse of 13s. and presented it to him. He
accepted it very thankfully, but WAS shortly alter seen
signing his name in a book at the other end of the
office; and, on inquiry, it was discovered that the
supposed mendicant was accepting a transfer of £l7O
stock, which hr had just purchised.
The Golden Number for the last Year was, ac-
cording to a Norwich Agriculturist, No. 18,616, a
