--from the pope, Cardinal Gonsalvi; from Austria, Prince
Metternich; from Russia, Prince Rasumoosky, with Counts Stakelburg
and Nesselrode; from Great Britain, Lord Castlereagh and the Duke of
Wellington; from Prussia, Prince Hardenburg and Von Humboldt; from
France, Talleyrand and Dalburg; from Spain, Don Labrador; from Portugal,
Counts Palmella and Lobo da Silveria; from the Netherlands and Nassau,
Spoen and Gagern; from Denmark, Bernstorf; from Sweden, Lowenheim; from
Sardinia, St. Marsan, &c., &c. One of the first acts of congress was
to recognise a new regal title annexed to the British crown, that
of Elector of Hanover not being considered suitable to existing
circumstances, or to the sixth article of the treaty of Paris respecting
the independence of the German states and their federal union. In
accordance with the new title annexed to the British crown, a general
diet assembled in Germany on the 15th of December, which was opened
by the Duke of Cambridge, and which agreed to the plan of a new
constitution founded on a representative system. In the same month a
protocol from congress announced to the astonished Genoese that their
republic would be incorporated with the territories of the king of
Sardinia. The fate of its old rival, Venice, was similar; the whole of
Lombardy with its fine capital, Milan, was subjected to the leaden yoke
of Austria. Of all the sovereigns by right of French conquest
Murat, King of Naples, alone was permitted to hold his acquisitions
undisturbed.

CAMPAIGN IN AMERICA, ETC.

On the 7th of January the president of congress presented copies of
letters which had passed between Lord Castlereagh and Mr. Monroe, in
which the former proposed to appoint commissioners to treat about terms
of peace, either at London or Gottenburg. The appointed place of meeting
was Gottenburg; but the negociations were removed to Ghent, and they did
not commence till the following August. In the meantime war continued.
Early in February the American general, Wilkinson, moved his
head-quarters to Bridlington and Platsburg; and he subsequently attacked
a post commanded by Major Hancock, but was repulsed with considerable
loss. In the month of May Sir James Yeo and General Drummond reduced the
fort of Oswego, on the Lake Ontario, an achievement which was chiefly
serviceable by retarding the equipment of the enemy's armament on that
water. Soon after this, however, the Americans became the assailants.
