VIENNA, JANUARY 10.

The plague, whose ravages had actually extended
as far as Esscgg, in Sclavonia, and given occasion to
the severest measures of prevention, has now, thank
HZAVEN had a stop put to its progress. The un-
common weather of ►his winter probably increased
the susceptibility to infection.
From all quarters we receive accounts of the most
rapid changes of tcmperatuie. The day before yes-
terday the singular occurrence of a thunder storm
wok pl ice amid >t a fall of snow ; the lightning
struck the sacristy of St. Stephen's Church, but did
no damage.

According to all accounts, the existing difficulties
with regard to the occunatiun of 111,.! Ihn and Haus-
ruckviertel, as well as the Principality of S-.lzburg,
are now removed, and the retiniorvf these provinces
with the Austrian empire will socoffollow.
In Bavaria several anonymous writings have ap-
peared on the subject of these territorial cessions, in
which the writers have even gnne so far as to propose
going to war, in preference to making these cessions.
Of course, however, all these pamphlets have no in.
fluence on the ncgociations. •
The following Protest of M. Eurbach, the
insertion of his name in the Royal Ordinance of the
21. th of July, has appeared in a Vienna paper. It is
addressed to Fouche, then Minister of Police, who
countersigned the ordinance :

" PAWS, JULY 31.

" Monseigneur—l leave Paris in obedience to the
Ordinance of the 21th of this month ; but while 1
submit to this exile, I feel it necessary again to ex-
press to your Excellency my surprise and regret that
I should have been named in an Ordinance, the ex-
pressed object of which is the punishment of the crime
committee in March last.

" It cannot be unknown to your Excellency that
I was at that time in Germany, solely and entirely
busiect'about my own private affairs. 'There I learn-
ed, not only with astonishment but with horror, the
enterprise of Napoleon Bonaparte ; I say with hor-
ror. because the sentiments which I had publicly ex-
pressed in regard to him, might have provoked him
to revenge against me; my speeches of the 7th cfi
April and the 30th of June, 1814, which I take the
liberty herewith to subjoin, will sufficiently chew
My alum was so great, that I must inform you Ex-
' cellency, I took the advice of several respectable
fiienos, who could bear irrefragable testimony to this
if necessary, whether under these circumstances I
should return to France. All of them were of opi-
nion, that, as the King had called together the
Chamber of Deputies, I should repair thither. Ac-
cordingly I finished my business as quickly as pos-
sible, and on the 20th March set out on my journey.
On the evening of the 22d I entered Saarbruck, a
French frontier town. Soon after my arrival at Paris,
I took upon me to apply to your Excellency, to
[obtain permission to remain some days there, no:-
withstanding the decree which banished the Deputies
Ifrom that capital.
44 Your Excellency must doubtless also recollect
'my refusal to undertake the Prefecture, of which you
talked to me two days after my arrival. It is not
unknown, that during the whole continuance of Na-
poleon's domination, 14 never once approached his
person, that I neither asked nor received of him any
mark of favour, grace, or office; in fine, that I only
spoke to him twice in try lite, each time to point out
to him the necessity of laying down the power with
which be was then invested ; my colleague, Flan-
-1 gergues, can bear testimony to this last tact. It is,
therefore, quite incomprehensible to me, what can be
the cause of applying to me a punishment in relation
to the crime perpetrated in the month of March.

please, this is certainly a misfortune; but so far from'
discovering the views of a conspirator, there may be
recognisedits them the character of a frank and ho•
nest citizen, free from all party spirit as well as am,
bition, who wished for nothing but that France, after
five and twenty years of sacrifices and misfortuves,
should at last enjoy a Constitution which might
secure her freedom, tranquillity, and to the throne,
all its force and brilliant-.
“ I have also to observe, that in the year 17931 I
was condemned to death, because 1, as member of
the administration of the department of the Moselle,
where I held the office of Attorney• General, oppised
Ito the utmost of my power, the subversion of the
'throne; and that, since that period up to the year 11,,
when I was appointed a member of the legislative
body, I held no public office.
66 My political conduct since that period is known,
and bits been uniformly such, that I am convinced
your Highnessecannot refuse me your respect. ..Is
this confidence, I have addressed to you the present
representation, and have the honour to remain,
