The Knights of Saint John are said to have ad.'
glassed a very spirited rernoostrsllCe to the late,
Congress, complaining of the deprivation of Malta,
and demanding justice from the Allied Sovereigos.
They found their demand upon the principle of legi-
timucy; but they are not aware that legitimacy does
not imply justice, except in the eases of crowned
heads of the old dynasties, else wherefore should the
Emperor of AUSTRIA have been permitted to depiive
Venice of its long established political existence, nr,
the miserable King of SARDINIA, to lord it over the
magnificent and once powerful Republic of Genoa ?
The report that the Emperor of Russia had proposed
the removal of BONAPARTR from St. Helena to Cab

fate is irrevocably fixed.

'they have resolved at all hazards to defend vi et armis
from an instinctive feeling, that when those out-posts
-ere forced, the citadel of iniquity must either capitulate
in good tittle to sate their own bacon a little longer,
