GENOA, DEC. B.—Since the doubts as Weer avian
with Piedmont have been removed, and that we see
no escape from it, oar town is become a scene of
sulky gloom, and assumes a threatening aspect. The
English have, besides the garrison, called in the
Italian troops in their pay frdin Nice, and have pub-
licly displayed, as in terrorest, a number of, lire.

Victor Emmanuel.

again our ancient Republic restored, far whether the

tardily, and partakes of the same character. The
following are extracts :

VIENNA, Dec. M.—That which injures the good
enderstanding between Prussia and Bavaria, is fro's*
the first of these Powers manifesting pretensions to,
sibe principalities of Anspach and Bayreuth. Bata-
sia is determined not to relinquish her rights, which
bare been consecrated by a solemn treaty.

They are always speakir.g of the arrival of the,
King of Saxony; but, for these some days, l's a
more vague manner.
_ _ _

It is said that the Court has ordered a plait to be
provide 4 for the fetes which are to take place do the
13th of January. This circumstance proves that the
SOxereigni are not on the eve of departure. ?repa-
rations are making for the anniversary of the Eat-
peror Alexander's birth-day.

Dec. 13.—They speak of an energetic Note having
bees sent to Congress by Prince Metternich in re-
ply to that which was sent by the King of 14Yirtem-
burg. That Sovereign appears very much dissatis-
fied with the proceedings of affairs in general, and
particularly with the torn which those have taken
tout relate to Germany. It Is that which has
ceased a continual exchange of notes between
Austria and Prussia on the one side, and Wirtem-
burg on the other. Notes between Bavaria and
Prussia are also frequent.
A new cause for , lengthening the Sittings of the
Congress is said to be, that very delicate and unfore.
leen questions have arisen respecting Belgiurfi, Italy,
Naples, and other countries. The English Minister
has stated, that he must consult his Court; and the
delays are thus multiplied without end.
The re-establishment of the Imperial digeity
Gaffney is definitively discarded. •
The Russian corps, which are marching toivards
the side of Turkey, will form an army of, 140,000,
men.

I.4OIfORX, Dec. 10.—The commsniCations with
the Isle of Elba have been rendered very difficult by
the various ordinances of M. le Podesta and' of the
Royal Commissary. We learn, however, that the
Bishop of Lorea and the Duke of Palos have leaded
it Porto Ferrajo, charged with a mission from. es
King of Spain to Napoleon, the object of which was
to solicit.him to give up to him the Prince et PON%
if he was a refugee in the Island, as he had declare&
his intention of flying there.

-Bonaparte replied, that he could not fall in with
their views of surrendering that Prince into their.
bands, at the same time, not wishing to displease
their Court, he engaged not to allow him to larid4s-
Abe island should he attempt it.

Our Sovereign has equally made known his inten-
tion of not receiving him ; and the King of Naples
has contradicted, officiallyi Us being his intention
of granting him an asylum.

cowed to day, from which we extract the followtpg
