One day's french Papers (if the leth) elate the
nix that were doe, arrived to=day, as did also a
Dutch Mail, from which we subjoin extracts. The
intelligence from Vienna thus furnished is of the
Ott► instant It tends little to relieve the anxiety
that bag beak excited on the subject of the segoci-
Wens. No mention is made of the departure of
.07 of the Sovereigns... This may be considered as
ground for disbelieving the rumour of the Em-
..peror Attx tNnrit's having left the Congress;
—but the writers of the scanty notices which

Vit !fare from the seat of Congress, seem to

kaQw so little of what is passing, that at.
though such a circumstance as that alluded to, could
hot be expected to take place without motion, ,any
statements in regard to the negotiations from such
sources can be entitled to bet very little credit. It:

appears from the information we have, that tblat!
hare at least been same very unsatisfactory proceed-
ings at the scene of deliberation. Appearances 1111 V
a►ow considered as rather more favourable. At the
date of these adrices, the arrondissements of territory

'were still going on upon paper; but the Chronicle oft
the Congress, and those who had asserted that th
publication of the Edicts of the August Assembly
would take place on the 10th, have become far less
confident in their tone and predictions. They have,

tart*? till an indefinite period, sine die.
The subject of the All _von* of MARIA LOUISA from
NAPOLZON Is again glanced at. The Bishops at Vi-

Anna, k is statid, have been consulted on the point ;
and repoetsays, General HotArs, who went lately
on a mission to the Isle of Elba, was the bearer of
some proposal or declaration of opinion in regard to

. .
the project of separation. It is added, in an article
*from Milan, that NAPOLLOttliseriously indisplait
if the above 'report be true, his indisposition is not to
be wondered .at. Those who coald deny him, in the
present situation of his fortune, the
,seclety of his
wife and child, may well be conceived capable
.of de-
vising such a scheme as has becu mentioned. • .
It,is stated from Italy, that the Venetians flatter
themselves with, the, hope of recovering their inde-
,Ve6denee, the British slinister having scut into Con-.
• gresi a very 'strong Note en this subject. Of this we

Lord CiSTLEREAEM layinidown plans of partition and

~ tO Aive greater durability to the Wicket grappliugs of
. the invaders of States, of countenancing, under the
, assumed
.plea of expediency, what he himself, and ,
others, now advocating
.the same doctrine, termed
atrocious robbery, we fear for the awe liberty
si
in general, even where its unconquerable s i iit has
most been displayed. Italy and Poland—what do
they not present ? The most splendid instances of
heroism and the deepest calamity. The wave of am-
bition seeks not to recede--a thousand press after
it—and few attempt to raise the fallen—even
free men have called it glory to enslave—and one
empire is. only built on the ruins of another. The
age of restitution must precede that of liberty, and
justice and self-denial be evinced in no common de-
gree, :re magnanimity throw a lasting lustre around
the character.

Vtettms, Dee. 4.—We are assured that, before
the departure of Gen. Koller for the Isle of Elba, be
had sereral conferences, with the Archbishop of
Vienna, whkb, It y said, related to tthe•dirorte of
Napoleon and the 'Archduchess.
Those persons who had announced the publication
of the articles of Congress on the 10th, have to-day
adjourned that event to a time almost indefinite.--
The last version of the speculations on tae proceed-
legs of Congress Is, tkat the Grand Powers are ,
agreed dpon the point of re-establishing the kingdom
of lletony—that Prussia shall retain Torgan and
Wittemburg—that Austria shall round itself by the
district of Voigtland—end that the right bank of the
Install shall be the frontier of Russia. It does not
speak sof the secession of Frame and Wend to
these arrangements.
MILAN, Dec. 3.—The recent of an erreigement
concluded between the Grand Doke of Tuscany and
the King of Naples is said to be, that the soverelguty
of Piombino shall be restated to Moises Me
Bacciochi. This Leda, `stet out on the Id et 41.49,
month from Bologna, with* numerous suit, to repidr
to Leghorn, and. from thence to the Island of Elba,
to her brother Napoleon, who is seriously indis-
posed. Many persons say, on the contrary, that she
is giin* te.rmk, • where she will have an interview
with thwaiitild Duke. She still keeps up a consi-
derable,plablishment at Bologna.

TM venetian' still tatter themselves with the hope
of .recovering their independence. The Court .of
England, they assure us, has sent a very strong dote
