THE CONGRESS. The business at the Congress advances, though slowly. On the other hand, we behold strong indications of certain determinations having Leen made by the various Sovereigns to obtain accession of territory. These determinations ap• pear, on all hands, bac-ked with a military force—with the rationes icgum—arguments of the most efficient na ture, and, if properly managed, generally convincing. We were a few days since told, that the Emperor of Rus- sia was to have the title of King of Poland, with its terri tory—the King of Prussia that of King of Saxony. with its ten Rory. These Sovereigns had not possessed these King doms befote. Hence it was aggrandizement; and for this aggrandizement what equivalent is offered to Great Britain ? &Int)ly to make her Sovereign King. of the Country of which be was before the Chief Magistra!e, under the title of Elector. This appears to be confirmed by more recent ac counts. They state, that on the question of the greatest interest in Congress, such as those relating to Saxony and Poland,' Austria and England divide on one side, and Russia and Piussia on the other, France agreeing on those two subjects with Austria and England, and on other. questions, as with regard to Naples, differing with them. Spain,. Portugal. and Sweden, are in most questions said to be with France. Bavaria, it is stated, agrees with Austria and France, but Wurtemberg has changed its policy, and now, attaches itself to Russia . and Prussia, opposing in consequence the restoration of the King of Saxony. We have already menti9ned•that a marriage is in contemplation 'Lary Prince of Wurtemberg and a Rus• JAN. S. berg, who was about to quit Vienna, a•Treaty of Alliance with Prussia. 'We have thus merely a statement of differences without any indication of a probability of their adjustment. On the .contrary, it was currently reported at Vienna that the Emperor Alexander, without waiting for the decision of Cong-ess, had caused to be proclaimed at Warsaw the In dependence of Poland. Such a measu►:e would be completely in unison with the Order of the Day issued in that city by the Grand Duke Cons antine, which evidently indicated the deteimination of the Emperor to re-establish, at least nominally, Poland as a nation, though in reality rendering her an appendage of Russia. Instead, therefore, of any ap proximation to a final agreement upon the points in discus sion at Vienna, every accoubt from thence serves to remove us still farther from the wished-for objects-.—peace and a just balance of power. We learn, however, flout Tulin, that the Congress at Vienna had come to one decision, which probably will not prove vety satisfactory to the Genoese, it being stated that official intelligence had arrived a! Turin, announcing that on the 14th tilt a protocol was signed by the respective Plenipotentiaries, by which Genoa was fir aly ceded to the king of Sardinia. It seems, in short, now to he atkaittcd, that M. de Talky rand is correct in saying, that the war was rasher made upon the person than the principles of Napoleon. It is at last discovered, that ambition can reign as despotically in the breast of a Russian as it does in that of a Frenchman ; and, because the Poles do not speak Ross, or the Russians Polish, they are not deemed fit for an union. On the other hand, the profound editor of the Times sees no impropriety in the union of Saxony with Prussia, or Genoa with Sardinia, be cause the same language is spoken, the same religion pro fessed by both nations. We would observe, that in one case the people appear to like, in the other to dislike, the union. But as, in 1791, an opposition is rising to the aggrandize ment of Russia, it will produce a curious development 'if present political opinion. We all recollect the pact taken by Mr. (now Earl) Grey, Mr. Fox, Mr. Burke, Lord Grenville, Earl Fitzwilliam, &c. &c. It is singular to ob3erve, how incautiously we express our selves on the subject of the aggrandizement of other Powers— Our total forgetfulness of this, the one thing needful," to the Allied Sovereigns, has hitherto led to unpleasant con sequences, which may yet lead to results still mote disastrous. The ideas of the Emperor Alexander may be judged ft oin the following General Order: " His Majesty the Emperor Alexander, your powerful prriccle.r, calls upon you. Assemble round your Standards--let your hands tie armed for the defence of your country, fut the maintenance of your political existence.
