rumour had consigned her. The opposition which
Austria nowfinds it necessary to make to the plans of
Prussia must show the tittle likelihood of a onion
such as has been mentioned between the houses of
Prussia and Austria. It is net easy, says the Times,
to conceive why BormAnrk's objections to a divorce
should be attended to. And would the Learned a-
vilian, who writes in this cruel way, consider it a
just dispensation were his objections in a similar

--law— •
French Papers to the 3d and 4th inst., have been

received since our last. Whatever political differ-
ences may exist among the negociators at the Con-
gress. the Sovereigns seem again on good terms. The
Pa pert received this morning bring us an account of
the long.projected sledge party to Schoenbrunn, in
which their respective Majesties. are represented as
driving each other's wives in the true sand AM

removed, are again asserted to be farther than ever from
being adjusted. We know not what degree of warmth

,
tempt? If this is his feeling and his idea of justice, he is
unworthy of the endearments which lighten adver-
t sity and humanise mankind. The august FREDE•
iiCK considers the momentary possession of a coon-
try, which he had obtained by following in the train
of Rowt44ture, and to which he has no other claim
to urge, just ground for requiring indemnity to an
equal extent; BONAPARTE, 'who has many more',
tights of this kind to urge, is conceived to have no
just claim even to his wife and family.
The following are from the Papers received this
forenoon :

VIENNA, FEB. 23.—For some time past oar

may be infesed Into the notes and discussions of the
Plenipotentiaries, but the statistical calculations in
which they ere represented as still engaged, appear
to us of the coldest and most repulsive sort. The
French Editors have long denominated the Congress
a bore, and on the subject of these execrable slave
trade higglings about the inhabitants to be trans-
ferred, we find the people of Vienna venting the
most biting jokes. They call the Commission for
adjusting the parcelling out of the countries and
people seised upon, " The Commission of Souls"
(La Commission des Ames). We would recommend
to.substitute instead of the word souls, that of car.
canes, or to amend the designation to La Commission
des Siquelletes (skeletons), as the political morality
■ow . preaching at Vienna may have a greater relit.'

Court Fetes have been discontinued, and yesterday a
heavy fall of snow afforded a favourable opportunity
for their renewal. A sledge party of the utmost
splendour took place. The sledges were decorated
In the most magnificent manner. The cushions were
of green velvet embroidered with geld; the harness
was covered with little silver bells. The Emperor
of Austria conducted the Empress of Russia. The
Emperor Alexander drove the Princess of Aners-
burgh ; the King of Prussia the Countess Julia
'Lich ; and the King of Denmark the Grand Duchess
of Weimar. Several of the Sovereign Princesses did
not chose to expose themselves to the severity of the
air. The whole illustrious party rendexfoosed at
Sanenbrunn, and returned the same night to.Vienne;

calculated to reduce men to skeletons, than to work

The reply of the Austrian Cabinet to the Prussian
Note is expected Kith much anxiety. It seems the
plan (,f the Germanic Constitution, as proposed by
Prussia, lq, in the first place, that there shall be no
Emperor. Ambition is not content with raising itself
—it n,ust sink its neighbour. Another singular de-
mand is said to have been made by Prussia. She says
that having possessed Hanover in 1806, she must
bare an equivalent for it. The possession which
Prussia obtained of Hanover was momentary, andl

entitled The General Guide (L' Inclicaleur Universel).
It shows, that after the Treaty of Tilsit, the whole
territory of Prussia, including every thing, amounted
to 4958 square miles. With a population of 10
millions ninety-three thousand souls, a number at
least 40,000 beyond any former population of Prus-
Sia, even incloding Hanover, which she only pox-
sessed for a moment in 1806. In this calculation
the departments on the left bank of the Rhine to the
Moselle are taken at 1,921,000 inhabitants, which
is even perhaps exaggerated. The Baron de Lich-
tenstein is at the head of this Cosmographic Office.
VERONA, JAN. 18.—A large detachment of caval-

effected by violence: Her demand of an indemnity
for this act of aggression, is of a piece with ber con-
duct towards Saxony. This odd claim upon Lord
CaIIITLER AGM'S new-made kingdom is rather embar-
rassing, and with the utter waist of arrangement in
the other particulars of the negotiations, may ac-
count for the prolonged stay which, it is asserted,
his Lordship will be obliged to make at the Congress.

tween this city and Mantua of the banditti which
infest them. They have attained a pitch of impu-
dence almost incredible. They lately stopped the
Vienna Courier, and after taking from him his dis-
patches, wished him good day, telling him that every
thing went on well. 1

VIENNA, JAN. 23.—The difficulties relative to

ciations having met with new and unexpected diffi-
culties." What his coadjutors are to do in this case
is tint yet clear to any understanding without the pale
of the Cahinet—perhaps not even to their own ; but
the dilemma is doubtless a distressing one at head-
quarters ; a number of new and important measures,
as well as expiring laws, demanding the immediate
attention of Parliament.

a more serious appearance, Prussia Wring rejected
every other proposal which has been made to.her.—
