With the following articles:
VIENNA, SEPTEMBER 20.
Of the reports which have circulated here for
these three or four days past, respecting peace or
war with -the Two Sicilies, the former seem to
deserti the most credit, And to assume a cha-
racter of undeniable authenticity. People begin to
look less serious, and this happy change is attri-
bitted to the contents of dispatches arrived from 1
Warsaw very lately. The communications' which
they contain are said to be of a pacific and conci-
liating nature. Since the Emperor Alexander has
been m the capital of Poland, couriers are continu •
ally passing and repassing in the mad to Warsaw,
which gives reason to suppose that the negotiations
between our Court and that of Russia are very active.
It is now certain that our Emperor and the Emperor
of Russia act in concert with the King of Prussikand
some other Sovereigns, relative to the affairs of Italy.
In all possible cases our Cabinet is resolved not to
commence a war, unless that of St. Petersburgh shall
give its full consent to it. It is asserted, that matters
will not come to this calamity, the Russian Monarch
having formerly declared for the-maintenance of the
general peace, though he, at the same time, disap-
proves the innovations in the Neapolitan Government.
We learn that the Italian Print?: have finally de-
clined the protection which our Government offered
them : they have even made preparations to put
themselves on the defensive in case of the occupation
of their territiary. The Piedmontese spew themselves
the most averse from a federal compaet-with the
Austrians; and the news which has last been re-
ceived from that country gives ground to consider as
very probable, an approaching change of system in
the hereditary States of the King of Sardinia. Mean:-
time, to be prepared against eve: y event, the military
preparations are continued without ceasing. Orders
have been sent to Milan, that the head quarters of thi'
Army of Observation shall be fixed at Vicenza on
the 15th of September, and all the corps comprising
it are to be complete at that time, Many . surgeons
who have been taken into the service have been sent
to Italy. Considerable sums of money have also been
sent for the payment of the troops who were, on the
Ist of this month, unpaid, as in time of war.
It is difficult to paint the fatal influence of this
state of animosity, and the continual apprehensions
of an approaching war, on the value of all kinds of
Austrian paper currency. Confidence is so shaken,
that no kind of paper is in request at this moment,
whereas every body is eager to sell. No human
power can restore credit shaken by general mistrust,
till some changetake place in the actual state of things.

STUTTGARD, SEPTEMBER 21.
The Minister and Deputies forming the Com-
mercial Assembly at Darmstadt bare bad two
sittings, in which the Bavarian Commissioners
presided. Several proposals were made, on which
long debates arose. At length it was agreed, Ist.
To admit the establishment of one and the same
system of Customs, which shall embrace the fron-
tiers of all the States of the Commercial Cottle-,
deration, in the interior of which the most entire
freedom of Commerce shall henceforth prevail. 2d.
To leave trthe activity of the merchants the mea-
sures calculated to prevent smuggling and fraud.—
The Assembly has adjourned for the present till the
Members shall have received instructions from their
Sovereigns.

FRANKFORT, SEPTEMBER 27.
The Austrian Observer continues to give ac-
counts from Naples, which present a deplorable
picture of the state of that kingdom. Under the
date of the sth of September, it is stated that anar-
chy and the dissolution of all the bonds of so-
ciety, daily make more progress. That, at the end
of August, a conspiracy was reported to have been
discovered, which the M►nister of Justice, Ricoardi,
was said to have framed, to effect a counter-Re-
volution, by the aid of the Carbonari. The whole
proved to be the fabrication of the head of a
Lodge, who was a personal enemy to the Ministry.
The C•arbonari were, however, three days and nights
under aims, and the whole city was in confusion.
In fact, all the Ministers have a difficult task; they
are continually accused of a want of energy, and in
daily peril of their lives.
The state of the Provinces is equally alarming,
and the accounts from Sicily of the most afflicting
description.
STOCKHOLM, SEPTEMBER 22.

The British Ambassador, Lord Fitzgerald, had to-
day his audience of introduction, and was received
by the King, in a public audience, in the most flat-
tering manner, and with all the honours due to his
rank. After he had presented to his Majesty his nu-
merous suite, he rode through the streets of the
city, according to the established custom, in a Royal
carriage, irawn by eight horses.
The Spanish Cortes have passed a law, permitting
the return of those who had emigrated, on the over-
throw of the• Government of Joseph Bonaparte. The
rights of citizens are granted to them, and they will
enter upon the possession of the effects which they
had at the epoch of their emigration. The Decree,
declaring that D. Juan, Dias Porlier; and D. Lacy,
had deserved well of their country, hasbeen published
in a Supplement to The Madrid Gazette. Their
names are to be inscribed in the Hall of the Cortes,
and their widows to enjoy the incomes attached to
their appointments. This provision is extended to
the widows of all other Spaniards who have fallen in
battle, or died in prison or exile, in the cause of the
Constitution ; and in case of there being no surviving
widows, but of their haying left families, the income
of the father shall be continued to the male orphans
for 25 years, and in default of widows and families,
then it shall go to the fathers and mothers of the de-
ceased, if such there be. The Decree concludes with
recommending, that those individuals who have un-
dergone persecution in the cause of liberty, shall be
rewarded with employments and honours, propor-
tioned to their sufferings, their merit, and other par-
ticular circumstances. Admiral Don Cayetano
Valdes, Governor of Cadiz, has been appointed Mi-
nister of War, and the Government of Cadiz has
been given to Don Thomas O'Donoju, brother of
General John O'Donoju, who is Captain General of
Andalusia.
