The Conner Francais contains an article, which states
that five Austrian secretaries have been arrested for rsu..
niunicating secret documents to one of the powers rep,.
genies! at Congress. It appears, then, that the 801 l
Allies have been plotting against sods other, at Versa:.
We are not in the least surprised at this. They bare ail
one interest, in common, which is to put down liberty is
Europe; but, while they are ell pursuing that alejec,
they have so many varying ioterosts and passions, slot
views among them, and know so little of honesty, that it
is no wonder they should iat, igne, with little scruple,
one against another. It 'koala hardly se•es le be et.
cessary to say any thing now, to expose the char-deter
and principal dojos of these Holy Allies. It sprat%
however, that they have something its their character
more base than was even suspected. They could dot
meet honourably, to proseetite a plan which they 5.,;
thought necessary and just (however erroneous thew.
elusion), hnt they mast make that very meetine aa e.„
fasioa to deceive and injure each other. We areglei
that the existence of the intrigue which the Asitette
secretaries communicated to one power, has been w,s
known ; for the Holy Allies es ill row bare the serfs of
suspicion and jealousy sown among them, awl it is to he
hoped they will soon fall to pieces. This discovery will
shake them a little ; and it is highly probable that oath
of the Despots of whom the Blessed Alliance is formed,
instea I of prying into his neighbour's concern, will
have enough to do to look et home. The Paosiatas of
LIBERTY will call them, respectively, to look to their
own territories, where they will hod, what Use; earl
treason, enough for each of them.

It appears frow the Madrid papers, that tramlatioes
of the Freed' Charter are published with notes awl
cotnesentaries, maiming wit to the Spaoiarls the free
advantages which they would derive from a Chamber of
Peers ua the plan of that branch of the ?reach Legi.•
