eign Prince of the German Empire, to him
belongs the Principally of Schwartzen-
burg and the country of Seisheim situated
in the circle of Franconia besides he is
possessed of much property on the Rhine,
in Switzerland, and Bohemia, Moravia, &c.
This house has always been ardently at
tached TO the house of Austria under the
government of which they have held the
highest stations-and with the house of
Lichtenstein are considered the richest
Princes of Europe.
Their Palace at Vienna, is the best after
Prince Lichtenstein's, but their Park, which
is open for the amusement of the public, is
considered the best in Europe, even supe
rior to the Belvidere. -
The reigning Prince John Schwartzen-
burg, was born in 1869. The commander
of the Austrian force, Prince Charles, was
born the 18th day of April, l77l, conse-
quently is now in his 43d year.
The Arch Duke Charles Louis John OF
Austria, is brother to the Emperor Francis
I'd, and was born the 5th September l77l

ense, has the animation and fire of youth
To-day Hanson's resolutions, Which he
opened yesterday in neat and impressive
speech, were again called up. The first
resolution was passed without division
The second, requiring information as to
TurEeaos letter, was opposed by Mr.. Cal
houn, who was answered by Mr. Hanson
Messrs Roberts and Sharpe, and your old
hero Wright, spoke against it, and Messrs.
Stockton, Grosyenor, CASTOR aud Oakley
distinguished themselves ON the other side
1t was understood Mr. Hanson would close
the debate; have since heard he was
prevented by a severe pain in his breast
caused by his previous exertions.-Mr.
Madison and his supporters we're more
roughly handled than on any former oc-
casion, more so indeed than had any idea
would be borne with but, the ministerialsts
did not choose to defend themselves; perhaps
they thought it the most prudent course
to escape greater severity. Mr.. Eppes was
expected to come out but he Stdid in. The
resolution was lost, GO for, 100 against it
When you see the debates you will admire
the spirit of the minority. Every thing
was said of MIR. Madison, which the inquiry
called for, in the latitude of debate it ap
peared to me they spoke ofhim with great
severity, represented him in the light of a
criminal and culprit, and he was emphati.
cally denounced as being wholly devoted to
the tyrant of France, and completely under
his influence. You have wished me to
state facts, and | endeavor to represent
them to you as they appear to me.
No minis II are vet potptpatpd tn r,o~n
ciate at Gottenburgh. After the pledges
negotiation, the delay is considered unac-
countable. A serious schism is spoken of
among the democrats; many of them win
not agree to accommodate but insist upon
having Canada, and carrying their point
about seamen while others are SO heartily
sick of the war that they are willing to
make peace upon the terms proposed Rely
on it there will be terrible uproar among
the party about the peace.
1t is said the president will suspend all
proceedings relating to the negotiation
until Gallatin arrives, and the interval is to
be employed in reconciling the indictments
to the new state of things he is preparing
for. 1t is confidently asserted by some
here, that the first of July will find the
Embargo in full force"
January Is.
sThe expected nomination of a minister,
has not yet taken place; the supposed
causes assigned, for the delay, are various
and contradictory. 1t is now stated that
the report of an intention to nominate Mr..
Cheves was unfounded. The opinion most
prevalent at present is, as stated to you
yesterday, that the president is waiting for
the arrival of Mr.. Gallatin, or dispatches
from the ministers at Petersburg, before he
makes the nomination."
