Tue Austrian Messenger arrived at Dover riea•
terdsy on his return. From his detention in Lon.
don, closing s° many days, it may reasonably In in.
ferrcd, that the object of big mission was deemed
sufficiently important to occuion ,naturd
beration.

Two report of the assumption of the Title of
Emperor and Lord of the at by NA rouLoN, is
again revived. That titio he may think proper to
assume, but we eaneot believe it to have been
necessary, to assemble so many Potentates at Paris
to witness that which he might have arranged in
Germany. It le more rational to assign to that

the Government ; and added, that if that dispatch had bees
emninunicated at the time of the arrangement, gsr iif it had

witletauding this assurance, Mr. J vcitso N, indecorously
used a laNuage implfiag that Mr. ERSKINE'S instruc-
