The Emperor of Austria has published, the following GENERA L O R D E R. I have put an end to the war, in order to restore to my people the blessings of peace, and no longer to expose their prosperity to the for- woe of uncertain events. You have shewn your fidelity and your unshaken attachment in the midst of every danger, and thus hare you drawn closer, and made still more indissoluble, the !ies which biacJ the sovereign to the happines of his lople, In my army, upon whose achieve- ments I shall ever reflect with hearfelt gratitude, I recognize the supporters of my throne, and the protectors and guarantees oftlie future tran- quility of my snhjcets. In the three last san- guinary engagements, they acquired the esteem and admiration of the whole world. Your innu- nieiabie proofs of inflexible fidelity and attach- ment to my person, give you the strongest claims upon my affection they i.,i-c to you the surest pledges of my gratitude. The means of promoting your prosperity, and distinguishing you, shall accordingly he the nost important object of my future cares. To reward the services of every individual, accord- ing to the wish of iuy heart, whilst the hap- piness of an is equally dear to me, is at this moment impossible, But, in the mean time, my army shall receive the highest proofs of gratitude and satisfaction which, under existing circumstances, it is possible for me to give. Besides the promotions that have already takeu place, and the gratuities distributed to the ¡ 4. r 1 IhYZ ordered a niuahei" of Crosses of the Order of idaria Theresa, and gold and silver medals of distinction, together with particular presents, to be distributed in each of uiy armies, i have also appointed a Chapter of the Order (0 be held, and nominated Commissioners for dis- posing of the medals, in the presence of whom every individual, who is conscious of merit from distinguished acts of bravery, may assert his claim. One and all shall experience impartial justice. I confidently expect that they will continue to cherish the same spirit of discipline, ever allied with true valoui- the same patriotism and har- mony with their feilow citizens, which have hitherto animated them that their justly earned consciousness of their own worth and dignity shall not be impaired; and that one and all of their; Commanders shaH zealously Oo-operate with me in maintaining that spirit of order and internal regulation, which can alone secure to us a permaneut peace and the esteem of our neigh- bours. tSigned) FRANCIS,"

Extractfrom Voyages and Travels into India, by Lord Valentin, dated Benares. Oil paying a visit to any Asiatic Prince, an inferior receives from him a complete dress of honour, consisting of a Rheiiiit, t robe, a (urban, a shield, and sword, with a siring of jewels to go round I lie neck. This ccremolt y was submitted to by Lord Cornwallis when at Benares. When Lord Wellesley visited I he upper provinces, he objected to the ceremony as too degrading, and determined to apoear in the presence of the royal family iu his uni- form, receiving the dresses in trays as a pre- sent made to him. He had directed Mr. Neave to notify to the princes, that my rank as a British nobleman, was such as to require the same etiquette in receiving me. Of course his wili and pleasure is a law and it was ar- ranged accordingly. About 9 o'clock, Mr. \eave and I set off for Shewalia, the old pa- lace of Cheyt Sing, at present occupied by the Begum and her son Alirzi Khorum. It is si- tuate in the middle of the town, and on the bank of the Ganges, and is the place whence that Zemindar escaped, when put under unar- ret hy Mr. Hastings. As I approached the palace, 1 found the guard drawn out to receive me, compared to Whom Falstaff's recruits were g-cnllemcn. It was intended to do me honour, 1 felt the compliment. O11 entering the gate a salute was fired. We here quitted our pa- lanquuis, and perceived the prince in the De- van Khanah, waiting our approach. It is a small room, elevated a few feet. from the ground, open on three sides, and supported by pillars ou ,the fourth, a purdah, or cur- tain was stretched across, behind which was sealed his mother. He advanced to the head of the slcp, followed by his three sons. tie there embraced me three times, and taking hold of my left hand, led me to a small couch close to the purdah, and sealed me on his right hand, in tact, between his mother and himself, though she was invisible, i install! !j presented to her a nazur of nineteen gold mo- hurs in a white handkerchief. I handed lliem through a hole in the purdah, which being to- lerably large, 1 contrived to get a sight of the old lady, who was little, and rather fair her hands were very delicate. 1 should have pre- ferred the view of some of the owner's of (ille black eyes, that 1 saw playing at hide and seek through the differed, holes but that was impossible. I then delivered lo him a nazur of nine gold mohms, in a similar mea- ner. Mr. Neave made his n-. mo_ burs to the Begum and three 1 This important part of the ceremci j over, and Mr. Neave being seated on a < haiT oppo- site, a conversation began through the medi- site, a conversation be in through the medi- um of his interpretation. His mother en- quired after my health and that of Lord Wel- lesley, my motives for visiting India were next enquired into. I replied, that the wish to sete so line a country, and to iop 'v respects to h » family, who were Bril>sh nobility, were usy ,1 1 » lotivt.s~ I mean to -visit the royal {t.ose ? s ~i- most certainly.

They con d not be refused and consequently I accepted them by raising my hand lo my head, and reclining my hodyt Mr. Neave had some shawls thrown over us shoulders.

,F,t:UTIoN.-On I hursday, at noon. James Awards, alias Dudley, and John Stock, ^toe*.ton, convicted of a burglary at the hst .u .u-ile Assizes, were conveyed in a cart from the county gaol in that city, to the common place of execution. Both while proceeding lo the fatal spot, and wi t, riK({ f.pt co, £ ducted themselves with a aegree Of which ill accorded with their awful This was in some measure to he expected Iron* their preceding conduct, which, we are s„rry to say, did not evmce a true horror and abo- mination of (he crime for which they were jusiiy to suffer. The preceding day, a friend to the Whitehaven Bank, which had been robbed, visited the two convicts in i>,e-r re- spective cells, and endeavoured, hy r.Vory means in his power, to impress upon them that the only atonement they could make to man, and thereby evince a (rue penitence, was to disclose what particulars thev ■» ,»d* that might tend to a recovery of the pro; rtv'. Although Ihe facts proved at the trim were sj strong as to preclude the has! doubt, ^lock- ton declared his perfect innocence; dent-'d thai he was at Whitehaven when the d eJ vaS committed, and all knowledge of (he parties concerned; and further added, thai fie li. not received a shilling of the money neither did he know where it was—but had heard that the parlies concerned had gone to Ame- rica. Edwards likewise behaved with an equal i if not greatr, obduracy. He, iu like manisc r denied all knowledge of the affair, in any re- spect whatever; and said, he was a murdered man, not deserving death by the laws of bis country. The gentleman, "finding he could not succeed, left them, observing, that he hoped, at the fatal place, they would Üyc that information their uuforlunate state^de- uiandcd. The hope of (racing out the pro- perty was, however, frustrated. At the foot of the galiows, the two unfortunate men fre- quently noticed the gentleman alluded to; and Edwards called out, apparently to him, they (meaning the proprietors of the bank, it is presumed) had got his blool, and lie won Id not say anv-, tli'll(I ro -i-, y no ivorst-, tite, demeanour of Stockton was very improper > w( lid i- but we would carefully refrain from makin*- any comment. Observing the constable wh« apprehended him at Whitehaven, he called out, in a tone of voicc suiffciently audible for | us to hear him, and, mentioning the consta- hie's name, said, "I see thy face hehind thy h;1t: thou art a cursed fellow thou brought us here!" and, again, remarking that the es" ecutioner was not sufficiently alert, he. a se" coiid time, (addressing hiiwselfto the White" haven constable) exclaimed thou bads! bet' ter come and assisr Stockton, who was Q an intirm state of healtil, alJd had III a measure lost the use of his limbs, wan obiio-cd to be supported on the platform.
