Commissionir General of Justice, performing the functions of Secretary if State. Stu—The dispatches which I received yrsterday evening from V,enna, inform me that the great interests which have long em. ployed the Congress, have been regulated to the general satisfac tion ; and by 411 e unanimous consent of Austria, Russia, Enland, FIa!ICC, and Pt ussia,"all those parts of Belgium which formerly he. Lured to the first of these powers have been placed under my so. %ereigoity, excepting some portions of the test ritory of Limburg and Loxemburgh, and under some modifications in respect to these two Dorliics. We retain on the right bank of the Meuse a slip offer. l ingy sufficient to ensure to us "the entire enjoyment and the free navigation of that river ; and the ancient Bishopric of Liege is among the countries which will compose the new monarchy of the Countries. You will readily appreciate the happy effect which those arrangements will have upon the happiness of the ripple whom Providence has called me to govern, and to whom, ulna I have already been able to do for them under less favourable circumstances, must serve as a pledge of my constant solicitude for their true interests —(Otaele, Fcb. 'l3O . The Journal de la Belgique says,-on this occasion—This lappy news fills with joy the hearts of all real patriots, who sec in the new order of things the future prosperity of their country. Belgium will then be indepehdent under the soereignty of the illustrious House of Orange, which derives its descent from the noble city of Brussels,—a house, which, in the 16th century, sacrificed its fortune and the blood of members to deliver us from an intolerable yoke. W hat may we not expect from the worthy descendant of those heroes who, while only the provisional Sovereign, has done so much good to Belgium, now that this rich country becomes the patrimony of his august family ? VIENNA, FEE. 15,—The population of the new Monarchy of the United, Netherlands will amount to five millions of in• habitants. It will have Prussia for its neighbour on the one tide of the Loser Rhine, and on the other the German Em pire. The important fortress of Luxemburgh, the Gibraltar of the centre of Europe, is declared a federal place of arms of Germany, which will c - nstantly maintain there a formid able garrison, an immense artillery, and'as latgc arsenals and magazines as at Mentz. The affairs of Italy are greatly advanced ; the king of Naples, Joachim Murat, will remain in possession of his kingdom, and every thing seems to announce that even the Marches will make a pact of it. It has been observed that the Court of Rome has not had the smallest influence on the discussions of the Congress, and all its remonstrances have 147 scat cely been listened to. The Allied SoveteigMs have ako declared their intention of putting an end to the dissensions which still agitate Switzerland. The Austrian army is going to be put on the peace esla bliAment ; it will be composed of about 300,000 men, c.f which 42,000 will be cavalry ; 180,000 men will be grade. allf disbanded. Pru - ssia has formed the plan to retain under arms an army of 240,000 men. FRENCH PAPERS. VIENNA, Fru. 16.—Count Munster, the Hanoverian Minister, has been very much occupied for some days pact with the follnwing subject :—The Princess Charlotte, daugh ter of the Prince Regent, will one day inherit the three crowns of England ; but were another order of things to arise the princes of the reigning house might lose a portion of their political influence. The kingdom of Hanover will always remain their portion, as the great fiefs of Germany do not de trend to females. They wish, therefore, to avail themselves of the moment when England is all powerful to make the most of this kingdom, and to place it in safety from every attack. The Duke a York of course is very much interested in this affair. It was on the 9th instant that the Emperors of Austria and Russia, and the King of Prussia, ratified the treaty respect ing Saxony and Poland. The portion of Saxony given to Prussia, contains a population of 864,404 inhabitants; that remaining to the Sovereign a population of 1,182,741. All the portions of the former electorate of Saxony, on the Saale and in Henneberg, will be given to the House of Weymar. Austria obtains a small district, situated on the Frontiers of Bohemia. What remains of ancient Poland will. it is understood. form a sort of independent State, under the protection or Russia. It may be looked upon as certain, that Prince Eugene will olfain a Soverignty, most probably in Italy. - MADRID, F. 15.—A new sentence has been publish( a against different individuals arrested since Mai• last. punishments inflicted were banishment, pecuniary fine, am; the condemnation of a small number to the rallies.

Financial measures are taken to re-establish public credit. The enormous mass of our royal vales becoMes insupportable. • The mysterious conduct of England gives us anxiety. %V e have no means of escaping from so formidable a creditor; atid if the Peninsula has proved its security from successful in - - • Vasion, our vast transatlantic possessions are by no mean , invulnerable. Our old connections with France, and the combined mat Inc of the two nations, could scarcely guarantee our independence.
