that as the Allied Sovereigns are on the one hand far
from wishing to violate the independence of France,
they are on the other hand resolved vigilantly to
Iguard the maintenance of the general tranquillity.
VIENNA, FEBRUARY 23.
The Austrian Observer, after giving an account of
the attempt to assassinate the Duke of Wellington,
adds the following observations: " We suppose that
the crime will excite in France, as every where else,
only one feeling. The criminal who committed it,
whether he acted from his own impulse or only as
an accomplice, has been guilty of more than an or-1
dinary crime. The man whom he attempted to as-
sassinate does not appear here in his own individual
character, he belongs to Europe, nay to the human
race. His services to humanity are above the praise
of his contemporaries, and his destiny has even now
placed him on the pinnacle of glory ! What could
have been the object of the attempt? To think of
alarming the Duke of Wellington, could scarcely
enter into the head of a madman : he who has seen
death in a thousand shapes, will not fear an assassin.
—His way of acting will be always and invariably
the same ; he has contributed more than is usually
granted to one man to the restoration of order, and
he stands now as the guardian of the work in the
success of which he has had so large a share. Is it,
wished to attack in his person, the cause which he
defends? In this case hundreds of thousands would
rise, and maintain the cause of all. These observa-
tions mark the enterprise as a crime, which cannot
have been imagined except by a desperate villain, or
by a party which longs for fresh troubles."

A Mail from Flanders, and another from Holland
have arrived to-day. From the first of the extracts
wl•ich we subjoin, our Readers will see that the gory

It would now seem that the Sardinian Consulate had
no more reason to complain than our own, and that
the whole report has been a gross fabrication.

AMERICAN PAPERS.
This day we received New York Papers to the
ultimo. The following are extracts :
NEW YORK, FEBRUARY is.
The Hornet sloop of war, now fitting out for sea,
is, we understand, ordered to Cape Henry, Hayti, to
demand restitution of property belonging to Ameri-
can Merchants, unjustly seized by Christophe some
years ago. It is rumoured that Commodore Lewis
goes out as Agent of the United States.
FEBRUARY 14.—Mr. Cobbett has presented a pe-
tition to the Legislature of Pennsylvania, praying for
the restoration of a sum of money which he was
tha im-
t
properly compelled to pay into the treasury of
State in 1804. The Committee of the Senate, to
whom the petition was referred, made, on the 4th
instant, a long and elaborate Report on the subject.

quo. The American land and naval forces were still
on Amelia. Aury and his followers had not left the
island, and it is believed he will remain there until
he hears of the final decision of Congress relative to
keeping possession of Amelia, which he expects will
be given up to him. Immediately on surrendering
to the American Authorities, Aury sent his secretary
to Washington city with dispatches, remonstrating in
high terms against the proceeding of the President,
and stating certain claims which he has to the island
of Amelia, &c. Three vessels, under the Mexican
flag, were at St. Mary's repairing, in order to be
ready to take the Commodore and his heroes away,
should they be obliged to depart.

ROME, FEBRUARY 14.
The Sardinian Consul here, in order to allay the
alarms of navigators, has officially contradicted an
article published in the German. Journals, under the
hcad of Genoa, as the good intelligence between the
King of Sardirda and the Regency of Algiers has not
been troubled in any manner, and consequently the
vessels bearing the Sardinian flag are not taken by
the Algerines. The Consul, however, expressly re-
commends seafaring people to adhere strictly to the
instructions given by the King, as.the least irregula-
rity in their papers might endanger their own interest,
as well as the honour of the Sardinian flag.
STOCKHOLM, FEBRUARY 17.

The Marshal of the Kingdom has given notice,
that at the ceremony of the funeral of his Majesty.
Charles XIII. the military may appear in uniform,

by the King. Every day from noon till one o'clock,
the bells are tolled through the Kingdom, all the
Theatres are shut, balls, concerts, and other amuse-
ments, prohibited.—The corps of Officers and two
men of each of the Burgher Guard, horse and foot,
f out whom his Majesty received in person the oath
of allegiance on the Gth of this month, have been in-
vited by the King tc an entertainment in the Hall of
the Exchange. The other troops have received a
present in money.
