LONDON:

MONDAY, JANUARY 23, 11415.

Eight days' French Papers came to hand this fore-
noon, viz. from the llth to the 19th inclusive. We
make as copious extracts as time will allow. The
intelligence from Vicuna comes down to the Srh, and
some of the accounts g,iven of political matters are
exceedingly important. That which will excite at-
tention most is the statement from Berlin, regarding
Cie discovery of a secret correspondence between the
King of SAXONY and some foreign Powers, in which
it is said many distinguished Personages are impli-
cated. In consequence of this discovery the Rus-
sian Minister, resident with the King of SAXONY, has
been recalled ; and other changes of negociators
brave, it is said, taken place. Indeed it would ap-
pear, that instead of every thing being settled to sa-
tisfaction, all is confusion at Vienna; and the same
uncertainty is felt in every other place affected by the
changes and re-changes which are happening, and the
indemnities and re-indemnities that are talked of.—
The Congress had not broken up at the date of these
accounts, but nothing satisfactory was expected from
it. The most extravagant projects are stated as
made by some of the negociating Powers, whilst

The reading of the above documents, which occu-
pied the remainder of this day'; Session, was heard
with the deepest attention, and the latter papers, as
I well ns the first, were read over a second, and some
a third time.
After the leading was finished, some conversation
took place as to the number of these documents
which it would be proper to print, whether the usual
'number or 5000.
In the course of some remarks in favour of the
hitter number, Mr. Pickering took occasion to say
that the letters of our Ministers displayed an ability
which was highly honourable to them. In the end
5000 copies were ordered to be printed, and the
House adjourned. •

The King of Wirtentberg, before he left Vienna,
sent to Count Winzingerolle; his Minister at the
Congress, blank powers signed by himself, with au-
thority from him to fill them up, consenting to all
the changes, cessions, &c. which the Emperor of
Austria might think proper to Make in Upper Suabia.
ExmAcr room A PRIVATE LETTER.

The Project of Inelernuity for the King of Den-
mark, inserted some time ago in the Unirersal Ga-
zette, has Weigher. been seen, nor approved of, by
the Congres.. It is well known, that the King of
England has given his word of honour never to cede
a single one of his German subjects ; and that the
brave inhabitants of the Duchy of Laoenbtirgh have
deserved too well from the (rouse of Ilanover aver to
alienated. Ilia also known, that the Dukes of
OldenbUrgh, l'inT of Eden, 011 sissalsKportsent to a
change of territory. At ilamburgh Stud Lubeck,
miler sentiments preiail ; and it is hoped that the
Great Powers will by too just to sacrifice the small
'ones for the aggrandizement of those already over-
grown. That they will he too magnanimous not to for:
get the efforts which these cities have made, and the
miseries any have undergone in the common cause of
Germany : and that they will never subject them to
foreign Power, or oppress them with unjust and in-
sufferable exactions.
VIENNA, JAN. 7.—The conclusion . of peace be-
tween Greet Britain and the United States, has pro-
duced a material alteration in the tone of. the'official
notes of Lord Castlereagh, which,. since the 16th of
December, have been conceived in a language much
less dictatorial than formerly. A courier arrived
from London this day -to Lord Cestlereagland, he
appears to base brought fresh instructions to that

Minister, who has pressed most strongly theconcla.
sion of the negociations. Curiosity is awake to
know, whether Great Britain still continues bound to
pay, during the year 1815, the Subsidies stipulated
by the Treaty of Chaumont ? It is probable that she
will refuse to do so, in which case the Allies will be
obliged to immediately disband the prodigious forces
they have no:.; on foot at the crpcnce rfEngland.
The Course of Exchange at Viznita gets worse, it
is to-day at 271.

anxiety unexampled. The Archduke Constantine it

Bittov, Dec. recal of the Russian
Prince Gallitzin, who was the Iteideat Minister
with the King of Saxony, has caused'a great sensa.
tion. That Prince, touched with the misfortunes of
the had made (it is said) very strong re.
monstrAnces in his favour. They mention, to.dao,
that a secret correspondence has, been discovered be.
j tween the King of ti,:xony and some foreign Powers,
and they add, that this itr.covery has implicated

cal of Prince Gallitzin known, titan the Prussian
Chamberlain, the-Count de Modem (whose wife pas.
senses large estates in Saxony), threw himself into the
river at Charlottenburgh, and was drowned. his
j body was found.
Rorer:, JAN. I.—King Charles IV. of Spain has
just received an express froM Vienna, the news he
brings is of importance. Great Britain has (it is said)
made a proposition at the Congress, tl,at the Island
of Sardinia should be ceded to-the King Louis of
Etruria (grandson of King Charles), in indemnity
for his estates in Italy, which are seized by other
Powers.

It is understood that this arrangement will be
agreed to, in Uhich case the King;lA Sardinia must
be indemnified somewhere else; what confusion alt
this makes, what changes and re.changes, indemni.
ties and re-indemnifies. Nothing however it cerlaiii.

GrxoA, JAN. 3.-:—The f& to of Genoa is definitively
liked. It is united to Piedmont, ander the denomi-
nation of il►e I)ucl►j of Genoa (Dueato di Genova).
Her troops are incorporated with those of the King
of Sardinia, who will form a company, in his body.

There will be a National Representation, solely
as to finance", Nothing else will take place to

A Dutch Mail arrived yeiterday with Haarlem,
Frankfort, and Brussels Papers, containing intelli-
gence from Vienna to the ith inst.. According to
these accounts a remarkable *pp, of Negocietors
hos actually taken place. It is said that the Em-
peror ALEXANDER, finding the firm opposition of
Prince METTERNICH, the Austrian Minister, a great
obstacle to his views upon Poland, demanded his dis.
missal, upon the ground of his throwing difficulties
in the way of a final adjustment of the points in dis-
pute. The Emperor of AUSTRIA, it is stated, had
agreed to this request, but upon the condition that
the Russian Minister should also be dismissed ; and,
it is added, that the Prussian Minister was also in-
cluded in the condition. This condition being agreed
to, it is said, that in consequence of the arrange-
ment thus determined upon, Prince METTER:mu
had been superseded by Count STADION; the Rus-
sian Minister, Count Nesset.aone, by Count C.teo
D'lsTitt.t ; and the Pru.sian Minister, Baron DE
HussuoLor, by the State Councillor -I _ORDAN.

The Copy of an excellent set of Et,,solotions,
adopted at a Meeting of the Common Hall of the
City of Worcester, regarding the Property Tax, is
given in another page of this Paper ; as are also the
particulirs of a Meeting on the same subject at Iris•
tel. A numerous Meeting has likewise been held at
York, and Resolutions unanimously adopted for pe-
titioning against this Tax. We could mention similar
proceedings at other places, but we have not room.
A more ample and satisfactory account than we hare
yet given of the proceedings at Liverpool, shall be•
laid before our Readers to-morrow.

It k rumoured that bn Friday dispatches were sent

that Lord CASTLEREAGH UM be moved to the Lords.
