FRANKFORT, JANUARY 22.
The fate of Count Las Casas is at length decided
Since his arrival in our city, he has been constantly
guarded by a Prussian Commissioner, he is pow
going to be placed under the protection of Austria
which grants him an asylum in its dominions: bu
his health has suffered so much, that he is not only
unable to travel, but even his life is thought to be it
1 , _ ,danger. All the inquiries th .t have been made haul
nl,leilim the discovery of the least ground for re
proach against M. Las Casas. The uneasiness whicl
his appearance in Europe has excited, is explainer
by the very name of the man whose friend he openly
professes himself to be, and who, like Hannibal, wil
I not cease to inspire alarm till he ceases to exist. I
has been thought proper on the Continent, to she'
the more rigour towards M. Las Casas, as the Britisl
Government was severe in the reception it gave him
it was to be supposed that such rigorous measures in
.. - dicated a culpability that was very well proved.—
It seems, however, that his attachment to Napoleoi
is entirely personal, and wholly independent of poli
tical reasons. It is affirmed that M. Las Casas great!:
desires to return to England, notwithstanding th
bad reception he met with in that country, in orde
to be able to plead the cause of his friend, and to ob
tain for him a milder treatmeni is the country wher
he is to terminate his days. . . •
BRUSSELS, JANUARY 28.
A letter from Cadiz of the Bth of this month con
tains the following passage s--" A vessel which az
rived here yesterday frem the Havanstah, announce:
for instance, the news, that the celebrated Chief
Mina, who was taken prisoner by the Royal troop
arrived at Mexico on the 10th of November, wher
he was guarded with the greatest rigour till his fat
should be decided on."
For some days past a number of soldiers dismisse
from the English service have passed through th
city. They are for the most part Germans, who has
beets landed at Ostend, and are returning to thei
own homes.
HANOVER, JANUARY 19.

We have this day given a copy at length of ti
Answer or Protest made by General AURY to t 1
summons of the American squadron to evacua,
Amelia Island. This document seems to us to be we
written ; and with considerable judgment—except i
':. the concluding sentence. AURY ought to have agree
to no evacuation ; but if unable successfully to of
4 pose the' force sent against him, should have sorrel
, dered himself and party as prisoners of war.
i
To us it appears impossible that any valid argt
i
went can be advanced to justify this capture by ti
United States. Now that they have obtained posse
lion they hold Amelia Island by no right whatever-
neither by Treaty.nor conquest. The right to o
cupy in virtue of conquest always pre-supposes
•! state of warfare between the captors and those wi
have been ejected ; but this not being the fact in t/
present case, any party, not even at war with tl
United States, has the same right now that the Am
rican Commodore had, to command the present occ
piers to evacuate the place,—if the force accompan
, \ ing such summons be sufficient to compel compliant
Britain has precisely the same right tp occupy Am
tia Island at this moment, that the United Stites Iv
on the 22d of December last. •
Indeed the North American system seems to i
quire, at this time, some official elucidation ': and
we mistake net very great!y, it will pot be long th
one or more of the Governments of Europe will
able to avoid demanding some satisfactory explat
tion. It appears by the American Papers that a :
. Pies of Legislative Acts were secretly passed in Cc
greys, as far back as the :year 1811, to enable t
I PRESIDENT--" under certain contingencies," to to
1 1 possession of West Florida, and other territories, lyi ,
to the South of the State of Georgia.—These cont
gencies are specified to be arrangements with t
local authorities of those territories, or the atteir
of a foreign Government to occupy them. The pow
6 thus vested in the head of the American Governms
has lain lormant for seven years, and is now prom,
gated, for the fit st time, because " the injunction
6 secrecy under which they were passed, has long sir
• been removed."
