VI versa, Nov. :q.—For come time pall it brit been
obferved that tl.e ia:e duTerences between England
and France cornea more cloleiy the Cabinets of Ruf-
fla and Attlltia. This circum fiance it is evident
miles either fr om a defile to extinguith the war late-
ly begun, or from a with at least to preferve the rights
ei Neutral Powers, provided their Fiat objeel could
oat be obtained. Thole wi(hes, conformable un-
doubtedly to their interefts, have given rife to a union
of Jeiign and effort, the effetls of which will nsoft
likely be felt more fenfibly afterwards. It appears
at lea that thole two Imperial Courts have at pre-
fent objets of importance under their dilcuffion.
Mr. Hunt LIZ is every moment expetted at Vienna,
who is Secretary to the Royal and Imperial Legation
at the Court of Ruilia. In the mean time, during

difpatches from the Court of Ruflia to their Envoy
reading here, the Prince DOLGORUCRI. The fe-
cond, tent by the Imperial and Royal Envoy refiding
in Ruilia, Count de Sramom. was direeed to the Vice
Chancellor Coeval-else. It has been obferved be-
fides, that his Majefty, our Estrum has had along
conference with the PrufGan Envoy reeding here, the
Count de KELLER.
Nov. a6.—Several of the d;fputes which bad arifen

rr has excited the attention of all the States of the Em-
I. pire, will be loon amicably adjusted, according to the
principles of equity and public treaties.

Nov. xi.-- The difpute which has arifen between
the Courts of Munich and Vienna, teems to engrofs the
attention of the Empire, and to form the principal
fobjeft of the deliberations of the Diet. The objeft
of the Imperial Decree, upon which thefe delibera-
tints, turned, was to determine the pure and fimple
execution of the new law of the Empire, relative to
the di ltribution of votes in the College c!" Princes, un•
til tome compenfation tbould have been math for the
prejorlice done to the Catholic party by the partition
of there votes, and fornetbing ettablifhed at leaft to-

wards maintaining an equiponde►ance between the
States profeffing the two religions.
By virtue of the above mentioned decree, the Em-
peror. as fupreme head of the Empire, had interpofed
his authority, and refuted his fanaion to the contclt-
ed part of the Comitial Refolutinns, while he endea•
soured at the fame time to convince the States of the
jullice and equity of the defired ah:ration. Thi, lalt
endeavour was repeated, and the exceptitm of the

4 niOtives which guided the Emperor's views renewed
1 in the refcript of his Imperial Majefly. of the ieth of
1 . ' November. ..But there reafons were eat fidEcie.nt to
1 convince the Courts of the other party. who perfifted
in afferting the advantages they had once acquired,
and in regarding the exercik of the Imperial prero-
f gative afpadniiilible in the prefent cafe. It was in
this (cafe that the ;Minifters of Brandenbourgh, of
~x..„y, 0, Wurtembourgh, and of Baden. ha: e ex-
plained themfelves ..7. the fitting of the 14th Ncivem
