Highness Prince Goseavuvf Sweden," has been
pointed Colonel of an Austrian Regiment of Infantry,
and that he is to obtain, besides, the command of a
.Battalicn of the Hungarian Grenadiers, on duty
in that capital. As an angry correspondence is said
to have already taken place on the subject of they
title, under which he is received at the Austrian Court,
these appointments, though perhaps intended partly m
a tribute to the personal merit of the Prince, and partly
designed to compensate him for -the injury he bas
sustained at the hands of fortune, will probably IM
considered by the present King of Sweetie, as an osten-
tatious display of dislike towards himself in his cha-
racter of Sovereign of that country. 141v:ever, the
latter may console himself that Austria has not
the power, supposing she had the will, to invalidate
a title, which, besides being solemnly recognised
by all Europe, has been over and over confirmed
by the unanimous voice of the Swedish nation
Bet, if the Austrian Government be justly censurable,
for its notions respecting legitimacy, it may claim soma
respect for its enlarged toleration in religious matters,
and of which an illustration is furnished in the-article
before us. Speaking of the funeral of the Rev. M. de
WACHLII4 who was General Superintendent of the
Protestants of the Augsburg Confession in the provinces
of Inner Austria, Styria, Illyria, and Venice, it says that
his last remains were followed by a vast concourse
of persons. His Royal Highness Duke FRRDINAND of
Wurtemberg, Governor of Vienna, attended the funeral
service in the Protestant Church. The coffin was carried
by Protestant Students to the Carinthian Gate (a lesson
to the French Government!) and there placed in the
hearse, which was followed by a great number of car-
riages. During the Congress in 1814, We deceased
frequently had the honour of preaching to the Vag,
and Princes of the Protestant religion at that time in
Vienna, and received repeated marks of esteem from
them, as well as from his own Sovereign, the Emperor
of AUSTRIA.

corrected that siiistake before the conclusida. „of his;
lk Ulnas. He could only refer the defendant's notalnisitoutl
the bill. of pains and penalties to bis ignorance of the
laws of the country. The defendant bad declared that
If such a course should be resorted to, he had evidence'
that no man of feeling and delicacy would widallai
bring forward. But most happily for the peace of this
young Lady and her parents, they had the evidence of
the principal defendant himselT as well openly declared
as in private, and confidential communication to his
brother, that she was free from contamination.
Mr. Jons WILLIAMS on the same side followed.—
He should not insult the defendant by using lan-
uage inconsistent with the habits of a Gentleman,
but he would declare that it should be no fault of
his if the defendant did not exhibit to posterity, and to
deter others from such crimes. a punishment adequate
to the enormous offence which he had committed. He
was much 'surprised that the defendant should have so
solicitously called the attention of the Court to the
contrast between his crime and that of others who ex-
piated their uffences at a place to which he had so often
referred. The Learned Counsel condemned, in strong
tetras. the attempt which the defendants had again
made to make insinuations to the prejudice of Miss
Turner. It did seem necessary to make an example
of the defendant for the sake of the honour of the public
justice of the country.
Mr. BROUGHAM followed on the same side, in a very
powerful appeal to the Judges. He should not on this
occasion trespass lt.ng upon the attention of the Court,
first, because his cheat restrained him, secondly because
his two Leatned Friends had so ably preceded him, and
thirdly, because their Lordships had beard from the de-
fendant himself a tirade which rendered aggravation on
his (the Learned Counsel's) part unnecessary, if even he
felt himself at liberty to urge it. That sordid minded man,
had dared to calumniate Miss Turner, as well in point of
law, as in matter of fact, by calling her his wife, and
though undet his own hand,he had solemnly declared her
to be pure and uncontaminated, yet he had dared,
notwithstanding his own declaration; to insinuate that
she was not spotless. That foul calumny partook of the
unprincipled motives which had actuated this person
throughout, and though he had talked, in the course
of his defence, of the helings of a Gentleman, he
had betrayed an utter unconsciousness of the mean-
ing of his phrase, and had exhibited what a poet
of old had designated truly, as the greatest of all
deformities—'a a naked human heart." lt,,ckless
of all consequences to the feelings of an hinted parent.
unheeding the effect of his immoral example, he this
day pursued up his first conduct, in a manner perfectly
consistent with his career of crime, and the Learned
Counsel impressed upon their Lordships that this was a
case which called for the most exemplary punishment.
Mr. Sranitie, on the same side, stated, that he felt
it unnecessary to offer any observations in addition to
those made by his Learned Friends.
The Count, having been in consultation for some
time, their sentence was delivered by
Mr. Jost;ce BAYLEY, who, in the course of a very so-
lemn and pathetic address to the defendants, described
this conspiracy as one, than which nothing mote agera-
vated, or proceed;ng horn baser and mote sordid mo-
tives, could have entered the feats of. man to conceive.
Adverting to the insinuation which had been put forth,
that though Miss T. was pure so long as she was in this
kingdom, she had not continued so after she went into
France, the Learned Judge recapitulated the various
and soie au declarations of the slit' (Want, that he and
Miss Turner had been as brother and sister, and placed
him in the solemn dilemma of liairin3 committed
either the nicht base and atrocious perjury, or 01 h.ving
by this insinuation, if false, added aggravation to the
enormous offence of which he had been convicted.—
Taking all the citcumstarsces of the case into con idet a-
lion, the sentence of the Court was, that Edward Gibbon
Wakefield be confined in his Majesty's Gaol of Newgate
for the period of three years; and that William Wakefield
be confined in Lancaster Castle for the same t etiod.

We also received this morning the Nuremberg Cor-

political news as the former. It mentions, under the

from London to Vienna, charged with dispatches an-
nouncing the formation of the new English Ministry.
A Cabinet Order has been recently published in the''

pose of checking emigration to Poland. It seems that
the peasantry, in consequence of some rumours (whe-
ther well or ill founded we cannot say) that a kind Th
ception aw.ii:ed them, were seized with a kind of rage
co set out for the promised land. As the condition of
the Polish peasantry is proverbially bad, what must be
that of the Prussian peasants, if we are to judge of it by
their desire to change their lot for that of the f n met ?

The proceedings of Parliament last night were not
important, though some interesting conversation took place in both
Houses. In the herds, thanks were unanimously voted to our
brave Army in India for their late splendid and beneficial achieve-
ments; on which occasion the illustrious WattINGTON made some
observations worthy of hi itself, alike creditable to him as a hero
and as a maa.
In the Commons a great variety of subjects were dip
cussed, but none of them were of material importance. A satis-
factory answer was given to Mr. Hume on the subject of the Woks
of the Admiralty, as far as the Lotto Hum Arountat. was concerned.'
In answer to a question by the same Gentleman, the CUANCILLOR
