AUGSBURG, DECEMBER to.
The Negociations between the Holy See and the
Austrian Cabinet are very active. The Court o
Vienna insists not only on maintaining the suppres-
sions which have taken place with respect to certain
Bishoprics within the last ten years, but it claims also
of the Pope new suppressions of 'bishoprics. The
Court of Rome, however, has hitherto refused to give
its consent to these demands.
The project of re-establishing the religious orders
meets with much opposition. The Kings of Sardinia
and Spain are the only Sovereigns who have hitherto
acceded to this demand. The Governments of Ter
may and Modena have sent back several Jesuits who
attempted to establish themselves in their States.

The Emperor of Russia, on receiving intelligence
of the attempt and the punishment of Ultras, gave
100 seclhins to the Cabinet Courier, Betso, who was
the bearer of it.
VENICE, DECEMBER 14.
The four Corinthian horses have been replaced
with great solemnity. The lion of St. Marc, which
was considerably inlured on its descent from the
fountain of-the invalids, suffered much damage on its
return to this country, and could not be replaced on
its ancient column. It is not even known when it
can be restored.

They were sentenced to death ; but the Jury consi-
dering that they were bat young men, who were
certainly not at the head of any plot, but merely led

circtonstance produced a very strong effect, and was
followed by shouts of 66 Vtve le Eoi I"—g, Vivent les

eg You will have seen, by the Mositeur of yesterd;
what has passed upon the subject of Lavalette
Chamber of Deputies, but unless you had been
sent, you can have no idea of the scene which ,
place. The edergy and even violence of the majeeitr
for an enquiry into the causes of his escape,
treme and the Royalists still think the matter
not confined to the keeper or turnkeys, but
intentional negligence and delay have originated
higher departments. The Minister of the "
was literally hissed, for attempting to pass ,
Order of the Day. I believe, neither the Minister
Police, nor Barbe Marbois, were present.
46 I have just heard a rumour, but I very ,
doubt the truth of it. that Lavalette has jest
discovered in Paris, and re.conducted to the
gerie. I have no doubt that he is still in r
cause it is so much as easier and safer place
cealment than the country. If he succeeds
escaping.detection, be will,l presume, take
pcnunity of passing over to our friends the

neighbours) will have a pretty set if all the '
and secreted traitors go over to him. and
we may see Sonic or some other military
founding a dynasty upon an American throne.

but the unqualified discharge of Lavalette,
in 'virtue of Art. 12 of the Convention, was to be ac-
repied,_ The Ministers held a consultation, and the
walk was the ,adatirable plan of which M. Deem
has all the honour. To effect it, it was necessary to
diangetlw head gaoler 4,! the -Co:tete:Aerie, for the
old one was a mats of honour in his profession; ,and

By the a'Afa I ought not to omit to observe, it was at
fire intended to send Lavalette to Vincennes, that he
'night make his escape in the route ; this being ob-
jected to, the other plan was adopted, and a most
clumsy one it was.
66 Lavalette walks at least 13 stone, is about five
feet eight; his wife is a little thin-woman, little more
than five feet high ; but had he • been as tall as the
Irish Giant, and she as short as the travelling Dwarf,
the escape woald have been equally easy. About
On minutes after (three, it is said,) the gaoler went
in, and, of course, very much surpnsed, asked where
togette seas t I need not repeat this parts. the
keeper took a reasonable time to - recover . from his
stupefaction, and knowing the adage fedina lente, he
took further time to consider what was best to be
dine, so that Lavalette had one hour's law before
the gaoler left the prison, ao.I was now sate. The
othrer made slow haste to the Minister of Police, who,
lwsfter 14 minutes stupefaction, ordered -all the gates

»irtly new.—We notice these alterations, because
there may yet be reference made to them in the discus-

much maneuvering in the Dtirein before the Report

are ascribed by some to ti:e enemies of the KING, and
by others, to his supporters. Tho,e 'who wish to at-
