The Intelligence from Vienna is of serious dates,
and to the t 2.1 ult. The opening et the Congress
has evidently been retarded to an indefinite
period by the difficulty in adjusting the several
plans of aggrandisement which the Confide.:
racy of Kings there met have been exercising elk
fancies upon. These are now said to be suspended
in consequence of the Powers who were so very soli.
citous of taking under their protection other people's .
property, having discovered that the natural guar•.
dians of the coveted goods were neither altogether
dead nor asleep. The very thing that ought to have
hien prevented has happened. That abominable po.
,icy which preaches up the necessity of erecting a
strong balance and counterpoise to the power of
France, by invading the rights and independence of
the smaller States, and under that plea annihilating
their existence altogether, has had the elect of de.

THE STATESMAN.

LONDON:

TUESDAY, DIECTIISISR G, Isl 4.

Two Dutch Mails arrived to-day, bringing as
from Ghent, by the way of Brussels, to the
30th ult. in the present agitated state of the public
rind, whose attention an increase of rumour on the
subject of the American Negociations is at present
directing to Gloat, these accounts will be perused
with peculiar interest. The proceedings of the
Negotiators are esidently approaching to a crisis,

but whether Peace will be the issue is yet un.

certain. It is satisfactory to perceive, that
. there is stilt ground fo; hope that tranquil relations
array be restored. There is, however, reason to fear,
that the demands of America, have encreased in pro-
portion to her late successes, and that any peace
which may be concluded in the present lowered
state of our deg may be considered as disgraceful.—

We are not entirely of this opinion. Our Ministers
mare certainly covered themselves with disgrace by
the rash and unprovided way which they foolishly
took to subvert the national' independence .of
America, and spread over the ,Western hemisphere
the despotic influence of the esent European
system ; bat the Navy of England, which has with-1
stnod the combined Powers of Europe, never bus, and,
never can be disgreoed, for its inherent valour has not
suffered any diminution. We have, indeed, lost a
few frigates, froth the shamefull neglect of the pre-
siding nautical iticiard; ►ut the ignorance anti in-

the name of which they bad been summoned to battle.
But so far is this from being. the case, that those
very soldiers (such is the evil of military systems)!
are now the servile supporters of the transfers and
appropriation of the Monarchs who called them from
their homes,' in defence of national liberty.
Infect, the whole of the, proposed arrangements
of the Congress at Vineasiktoeili Oppearances, are
upon the plan laid down bytTilt. roatos, 'previous to

much, and we are not disappointed.
We cannot sufficiently deprecate this unjust and
absurd policy of adding to the power of States, who
till their own safety impelled them, never even '
showed a friendly feeling towards us. The impo.
!icy of our consenting to the sinking of the free Ma-
titian States, who have, on all occasions, looked to I
Great Britain for protection and trade, into huge I
despotisms, must be evident. We ought particularly
to dread Prussia becoming a greet naval power. Pros.:l
sia, say the apologists of political robbery, must be
elevated into a power equal to keep all France in '
awe. There is, a despicable hypocrisy in all this.—
The cession of Saxony to FREDERICK 'could not put
that Monarch in an attitude to awe France single
