Frankfort Papersto the Sd tostaw have reaehectes
this morning. In an_articledipm the Banks of the
Danube, dated the 113th
,ult. it is stated that the Infant
Don Mom. will shortly leave Vienna to repair to the,
court of his brother, the-Emperor of Beams. Though
:his statement is put-forth as a4eport, "'which, indeed,
Much needs confirmalion," it strikes us that it comes
ionwthe Austrian Chancery, and thit it ha; 'beenmesely
ent forth in this vague manner, in Order that the.Cpurt
Vienna might nut be- suspected of having used.its
afiuence to induce the Portuguese Prince to take-this
important step: What confirms us in this suspicion is,
circumstance of imputing It to two great Eutopean
powers," which are.most immediately interested lathe
eh-establishment of tranquillitrand- order -is the Peale
:site—meaning Great Britain and-France of course. it
is certainly more politic. in every point of view to sag'
tint the measure originated with them than with iks-
tria, as in the latter case, an improper influence, on ac-
:ottnt of the residence of the Infant Don Montt. in
hat State, aright be inferred ; whereas, as a measure
dinanatiog from the Cabinets of St. James and the
Thuilleries, it will be considered as a peace offering,
• and as as a proof at the same time of a good understand -
''lrg between both: Be this as it may, the step itself
is likely to. Le productive of the happiest effects
opon the tranquillity of Portugal; for, when the Rebels
ree theniselver depiived of the advantages they have
hitherto defied from this stay, they will prohibls
abandon their enterprise in despair; or should the
itaders, contrary to all probability, still cling. to their
mad projects, they would no doubt be deserted, and
prhaps betrayed, by their followers. That this will be
tile end of thii most criminal enterprise we are fully per-
suaded; and we are as fully convinced, that what was
intended asa fatal blow to the Constitutional symem,will
prove in the end the means of its taking deep root. In
this manner are the designs of bad men, after having eciii-
Odently anticipated their accomplishment, scattered to
the winds, f Heiven, whilst their authors, f.sien. having
been daring their brief career objects of terror to some,
and of admiration to others, become at last the univer-
' rily despised and unpitied victims of their own per-
verse projects.
04. We learn from Darmstadt that pftparations are;
inaking there to celebrate, with suitable pomp, theACith
Miniver-Lary (which in Germany is called theGelden Wed:
giskas the2sth is termed the Silver Wedding) • f the mar-.
tiage of the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Hum
'DARMSTADT. At this interesting fete, which takes place
inihe 15th of next month, several illudtrious visitors
e expected; and. a mongst the rest the Queen Dowager
of BAVARIA, and Prince WILLIAM of PhLISSIA.

Letters dated 26th December, from Officers of the
squadron off Oporto (consisting of the GALATEA (riga e.
fDtspaTcw, RENARD, and PLUMPER rigs), state, that
'he English squadron found all the m ban:s embarked,
pith their families and property, on board the merchant
vessels in the harbour, ready for a start if the rebels
should attack the place, which at one time. was daily
expected: but the moment the British squads-on sea,
seen off the Bar, the greatest confidence was restored—'
the merchants landed, and commerce recommenced w ith
its usual activity. The GALATEA passed by a sqxischon
of Spanish men of war cruising off Cape Fmistetre on
the 19th of December; they were then steering in a
••esterly direction.
