THE CONGRESS. The continental journals are more fertile in speculations than even our own, as to the subjects that will occupy the deliberations of the august assembly at Aix-la-Chapelle. This is perfectly natural, for the States where those prints appear must be more immediately affected by any political arrangements that shall take place, than this country can possibly be. The Army of Occupation in France, the disputes of Spain with Portugal, and the United States and her own Colonies, and the affairs of Germany, are all confidently mentioned as prominent points to be brought under discussion. To these are now added, in an article from Augsburg, some complaints alleged by Denmark against Sweden, respecting the accomplishment of the third article in the treaty of Kiel; and the piracies still committed by the Barbary Powers. SWEDEN. Though Bernadotte has succeeded to the throne of this kingdom, his seat is far from being an easy one, nor does his possession appear to be secured by any thing like a permanent tenure. Already the Norwegians shew their impatience of the Swedish Yoke, and according to recent accounts which however exaggerated certainly are founded in truth, these hardy sons of the North have manifested a spirit of resistance to the domination which has been imposed upon them. It is not to be supposed that Denmark can be indifferent to this disposition, and we are yet to learn on what principle of policy the transfer of a people from one Sovereign to another, in direct violation of their own will, can be justified. In a short time we shall resume the consideration of this subject more at length. SPAIN. Letters from Madrid state, that the difficulties which for two or three years have embarrassed the Government, appear to be taking a more favourable turn. These affairs are reducible to three points, the arrangement of the differences with the court of Brazil, the negociations with the United States of America, on the occupation of the Floridas, and above all the rest, the pacification of the Colonies. The first point is regarded as settled by the mediation of Russia, Austria and England, but particularly by the restitution of Olivenza, and its territory, to Portugal. With regard to the occupancy of Pensacola, though vehement remonstrances were at first made on the part of the Spanish Government, there is now reason to believe that it does not attach much importance to that sterile coast. It is likewise understood that the United States have disavowed the act of their general, and are willing to restore Pensacola. On the subject of SouthAmerica, still more confidence is expressed, and that with reason, since it is now clear that the insurgents have been repeatedly defeated, that Bolivar has fallen, and his followers are dispersed. The armament at Cadiz distined for that distracted country is about to sail, and General O'Donnel, Count d' Abisbal, is appointed Commander-in-Chief of the forces with unlimited powers. GREAT BRITAIN. Never did this empire stand on a loftier eminence than at the present moment, when she may truly be said to hold the destinies of the world in her hands. The magnanimity of her conduct during the tremendous shocks which overthrow so many nations, has secured both the admiration and the confidence of the states of Europe; nor has any thing occurred since the restoration of peace to lessen the one or to weaken the other. We wish it were in our power to speak as well of the internal state of the kingdom, which is still disturbed by faction and discontent. Although faction and discontent still continue to annoy the loyal feelings of the public, it is satisfactory to observe that there is every appearance of sound health in the system. Of this no better proof need scarcely be given than the fact that the revenue will exceed the estimate by at least five millions sterling in one year. This will go far towards bringing the expenditure within the income, even including the reduction of the debt under the head expenditure. But it should be considered also that this country has to receive between three and four millions sterling, as a contribution from France on the removal of the troops from thence, an event which must now shortly take place. This will enable ministers to reduce the military establishment in all its branches, which must farther lessen the expenditure by several millions per annum; and as the very small sum that may be required for the service of the next year will leave the sinking fund, amount 270 List of New Members of Parliament. ing at least to fifteen millions, to act with scarcely any drawback; this will tend to diminish the National Debt, and to relieve the burthen of taxation. So much for the existing state of things, and the prospect thence arising from the triumph of the nation, and the consolation of those who have endured privations with patience. We look, therefore with confidence to the ensuing Parliament, not for the introduction of new schemes accordant with the views of the lovers of change, but for a steady perseverance in that course which has brought the empire to its present high eminence.
