steeey, and the profoundest igoorance of the causes
of this, exist in all the public offices. But it
is supposed, that two points of difference have
arisen in the Congress, which oblige Great Britain to
assume an attitude of power and command. The first
is that which is of the most vital importance to this
country, our maritime rights—the second is, Belgium.
These two points, it is now well known at Vienna,
were the principal !objects contained in Prince
TALLETRAND'S much talked of note; and it is said,
that the Emperor ALEXANI)ER is known to favour the
kdeas of France on that subject, founded, as they are
'sail to he, on the pretensions which ii is notorious
the Empress CATHARINE always declared herself fa-
Tourable to.—That subtle and profotind politican,
TALLETRAND, in thus bringing forward the opinions
of the grist CAT,ithattutt by whom the Emperor
ALEXANIER is :known to be desirous of modelling
his own conducts. ie dilly a master-stroke which
might have been loatircettli.—On the second, Bel-
gium, Administratioastimid committed—they made the
Prime of Oa 1,162 assume a new title, which it has
Leen carefully Me object of the Allied Poteers not yet
to recognise; and it would not be wonderful, if
mach difficulty was to arise from our having set up
a Prince, whom all the Continental Powers know
to be dour own creation ; and, no doubt, TALLEY-
RAND wbo%d argue, that Ifollatirl, Belgium, and the
ports of the Pay* ass, would be murk more danger-
ous to the independence ni Europe in the hands of a
Prince notoriously dependent on England (already
the object of extreme jealousy from her naval pre-
penderenoe), than in the possession of any of the
great Continental Poss'ers,l.even,of France herself!

EIRCUTIOMI7

This morning Thomas Sham for
Kentish Town, suffered the awful sentence of the,
law opposite the Debtors' Door, at Newgate, in the
presence of a great concourse of spectators. The
exhortations of his father, and the Rev. Mr.
Stennet, a Dissenting Clergyman, who were per.
mitted to sit up with him in his cell- all nighty
and the near approach of death, at last brought
this hardened and unhappy man to a true
sense of his guilt and situation ; and a short time
before he was turned off, he confessed himself guilty
of the crime laid to his charge; admitted the evidence
adduced on the prosecution was perfectly correct,
and expressed his contrition for the reprobate coa-
-1 duct he had shown to the Court. Ile was not tin•
lently agitated, but his contrition appeared sincere.
1 He begged his father's forgiveness, and that of all
his friends; took on affectionate leave of his weep-
ing parent and the Clergyman, and met his fate as we
have described. Before he was completely dead,
?several decent looking persons ascended the scaffold,
to have the benefit of being rubbed 'ids the hand of
!a murderer.

Sharpe's parents ire repectable. We shotll to-
morrow give some particulars of the life of this vic-
tim of depravity.
