LONnON. FRIDAY, SOFF.MBERU, Pa-i-4 t'apers of itit- 7 h 8th, and 9th inst- ar', rect,,e(l. An official Declaration, pub- lished at Vienna on the 1st instant, states, the P'empoteoiii-.res of the Powers-which-signed the Tre-ity of the 30th Ma v, have exchanged their full powers -and invites persons charged ■with the interests of other Stales, to present their'powers, a' fhe proper oiffce, for the pur pose of verification. It thus appears, fhal the %ill be r(y(tilvoged t)f tli& Pie-, n poten.tiaries ot Austria. Russia, Prussia, Eng- land, -HMI I rmcc, the five Powers tint are p;ir)ies to -tlie Treaty of Paris; and that hav- ing seHMd their own affairs, they will decide upon the claims of the <: inor Stales. The Mo Tiiteur adds, IhallheClngress will hold its first solemn sitting on 'lie 4th, and that the Sove- reigns wii no! eave Vienna until -tlte 15th, by 'Wlllch H¡¡¡e tile I'rincipai Il1alten WltI be St"({ fe1 fls to principles, and the Plenipotentiaries will be left to appij them in their conferences upon the final decision in futi Cougiess. Of the in teoricd tcrrit'T)')! arrangements nothing official has transpired, bet it is staled in an article froiu ])r«f: ien., th it the fate of Saxony may he con- sidered as finally decided. The Chamber of Deptilie*. present* nothing but the discussion of financial subjects. An article iroin Vienna, rather singular in its tenoiir, appears in the Brussels papers.— It proposes a new competitor for the Crown -iii lit the person of the Archduke Charles and it concludes wit h a sort of hint, thai his pretensions may he supported by all Austrian aciiy of 520,000 men 11 is very true b-at the possible union of all-Poland with Kussia would form an empire of a magnitude not very compatible with the secure equili- brium of the north; and it is that the Archduke Charles would be content witi) as comparatively small portion of Poland for his it w sovereignty but the most material coil-* sideration seems 1o he as much overlooked in this as in other plans on the same subject, namely, what are the iu-cltuaiion of the Poles t'semselves. By the last accounts from Spain we are given to understand, that the Havanua, which, with Porto Rico, had been thrown open to our «!;ips by a public declaration of the Cortes and Regencv, is now closed against them by a de- cree of the King. We areassnred that a copy of this Royal decree is in the liaiids of the Spanish Consul General in London. Consi- derable surprise has been excited amongst the merchants, that al edIct so important to liri tish commerce has not been promulgated by the proper authorities in this country. it might, at all events, have been expected, that 1MS Christian Majesty would have granted a ■cei tain time toexpire before the De. ree should take effect, to present that loss and inconve- ilielicrt- to the merchants,which,as things now •stand, must infallibly ensue. By a letter from Gibralter, dated the 12th tIlt. we are i-nfwi med, that on that day, and •fbe two preceding, they had had most violent rain, accompanied with thunderand lightning, .vl icil it ""HI hoped would check the progress «>f tiie fever. On the l'llh, the magazine at the Rock Gun was blown up by the lightning with a ii-eiitetidous explosion, which alarmed ntllhe garrison. Happily no lives were lost, hut the battery was destroyed, and-the lines and roads (riled with rubbish Several'detachments of troops have march- ed into Portsmouth durmg the week, and embarked tor America and for Ireland. There are now III the harbour a great many trans- ports with troops on hoard for the fonner.- Thy will proceed to Bermuda in the first instance, and will not be employed on active «erv*ee until the spring of the year.

Nothing .1 t> i public interest nad transpired at the Russian capital, but the inhabitants looked anxiously for the return of I"e lin peror, when it was, -.•imposed he wotlkl fulfil his promise (ifidtipt. ing ihe commercial regulations of thecouutry to < f:e u w pasture >i affairs in Europe. All article from Madnd, daied October- 29 states, that the trial of part of ihe individuals (the Cortes,) accused of having attacked the Koyal Sovereignty, is concluded. Thirty have been condemned to the galleys, loss of their oftkes, &e. Had it not boeiitor the patriotism oi fhesclllltorlllale men, Ferdinand wUllld 1101 now have been in a situation to inflict punish- ment oil them or any other Spaniard. The Tradesmen's bills of the Royal House- hold are-expec.ted to be unusually heavy for the last half year, ending the 10th instant, in Consequence of a late visif The exlraordllla ry expellees in only nae department, amount to about 39.0001 In a bill of a coach maker for 10,0001 is an item for new harness, 3,5001. On Monday, the 31st lilt. about half past Six in the evening. as Mr. F ByeHey, a young gentleman oil a visit to Warwick, was pro- ceeding from the Birmingham Road, across the Sall-sford Common, in his way to the )louse of a.trietitt, fie was suddenly alarmed by the cries of JIurder! Help in rather a faint voice; and uti proceeding as the sound direct ed, saw H) a deep hollow way, a man lying down without a hal. Hastening instantly to his relief, as he was in the act of raising- him from tiie ground, the fellow s-arted up and cried out A'ow i have ^ouV and attempted ti) seize liiiii I)v ihe art" Mr. ii. avoided his grasp, sprung baik a step or twoi and. 111 de- fending himself, struck the iiiiiii oil Ihe head, and wounded hirai ratherseverely, as he thinks, in the face, with his walking stick, But just as he wa3 ascending the bank, which formed tiie I)oll(iw w.iy, with the view of escaping, the villain fit ed a pistol, the bail of which passed through the crown of Mr. B.'s hat, ell tering bebmd and coming out in the front, within all inch of the head itself. Most fo-rlu n ttety, in ascending the bank, nis foot slipped, suice, otherwise, in all probability, the shot Tvoiild liave been fatal. Aftertliis dangerous and murderous attempt, the horrid wretch rail towards I tie canal, and escaped. The most indefatigable search has been made after the atrocious offender, and a reward of tifty gui- neas offcred for hie discovery. I-IOUSE OF COMMONS. The PrinceRegentVSpeech having been read b) the Speaker, Lorn Brnlport rose to lIIove the Address. Af- ter panegyrising the council 01 hngland he pro- ceeded to animadvert upon ihe war wiih Amer? ca—the principle and conduct of which he sup ported. In allusion to the esiimates, he stated that the Revenue and commerce of Ihe country were if, a state, and that an increase: of 2,600,(100/, had taken place in the Revenue; and concluded by moving an Address, which was all echo of the Speech. Mr. Graham seconded the Address. Mr. Whitbiead strongl> expiessed his disap- probation of the American war; the cause by which it was produced, and wished to know who it was protracted? he entered at some length into (he operations against America, which he geneially condemned. The Hon. Gent. then re- probated the aggrandizement of some of the So- vereigns at Vienna, and coucluded by giving his dissent to the Address. Mr. Vansitfarr. observed, that he should throw aside the long review of the affairs of Europe, which the Hon. Member had taken. In respect to America, he admitted the necessity was a pain ful one, which called u;)on him to defend a con- duct-which was revolting to-humanity. He re- ferred to the-American dispatches (those of Gen to the Secretary at War), to shew that the Americans had commenced the retaliat- ing system, by burning; the town of Newark, ac- cording to his (the secretary's) orders. Ali the public buildings in Canada were destroyed also on iheapproach of oar troops. Hedeplored in common Wiih the Hon Gentleman, the conti- nuance of such a system of warfare, and hoped in Goo it would SOOIl cease. The Americans themselves had extolled the care taken to pro- tect private property at W ashington IH our manuers and their troops. As to tne nature of the lIegociarions uow carrying oil between -his country and America, he was not disposed to say any $lie siil)ject was now pending. The revenue of ihe whole of 1813 was 6o,6T6,0i 01 fend that of ihe year 1814 was no less than "t,4:6 I ,0001. He had moreover the satisfaction of stating that, this increase was general on all the articles of finance, and not on any one in particular- The exports of the port of London to the Continent in 1813,amounted to (8,000,0001, in the preseut year it had risen to 26,000,0001.— The arrears that had arisen were principally from the pay of troops abroad, and the greatest part of the vote of credit had been applied to the navy in pay ing off the arrears of the discharg- ed sailors. Circumstances had arisen which had piessed upon the public funds, but which in no degree arose from any error of government. He recommended a. suspension of all opinion, as to the conduct or: Sii G. Prevost, until better means of judging of it were before them. The House wa's not now called on to approve of any mea- sures of Government; but only to join in the vote ofcoiimi-atulatioti usual on such occasions.— As for the demands of this country from Ame- rica, we ask for nothing which we would deny to others. Mr. Ellis and Mr. Tierney made some remarks upon Mr. Canning's acceptance of the Embassy to Portugal. The former said, whether that Hon. Gent, had done right or wrong in accepting if, he left to the opinion of the House and the country. The latter considered it a most scan- j datous job, burthenlng the public with 14,000/ a year when Mr Sydenham could have done all this business on 50001. a year. Mr. Baring thought tha' the war with America had not been well conducted on our part, and he feared we should not make any serious impressiou upon that country. Mr Bathurst deprecated the gloomy appre- heusion of the last speakec, and hoped the con-, test would be pushed with vigour. Sir G. Heathcote was decidedly against conti- numg the war. Mr. Freemantle thought the conduct of the Admiralty called for enquiry. Mr. C. Grant said the American war was un- provoked on our part, and trusted that Govern- ment woufd use its best endeavours to bring it to an honourable conclusion. The address was then agreed to without a division. In reply to questions from Mt. Whi thread and Mr. Tierney, The Chancellor of the Exchequer said, that it was his present intention to bring forward part of his financial plan for the year on Monday next; but he should not submit any proposition on the Income Tax or War Taxes autil after Christmas.—Adjourned.
