‘ The Danube at Viepna becomes divided into
four considerable branches; the city is situated

surrounded by walls and fortifications. The sti-
burbs, containing many princely palaces, and in
the Islands ofthe Danube, and connected by hand-

The late wars have proved that the suburbs ren-
derctl the walls and fortifications, of no sort of val-
U39 and they are now beautifying the basti'ons' and
making them public promcnades. Each street of
Vienna seems to be a street of Palaces.
The houses are built of brick and stuccoetl o-
ver with gilded coronets over the portals, while
the liveried lacquies at the gate designate the op-
ulence atid rank ofihe proprietor. The immense
number of splendid equipages prove the high de-
gree ofluxury at Vienna; yet there is something
in the manners and habits of the people partak-
ing very much of German simplicity. 'l‘hus all
ranks rise early in the morning--the Emperor
dines at one o’clock—-the public amusements be-
gin at half past six, and are over before ten ‘in the
evening. ‘
The great amusement of the people at Vienna
is riding to the Prater. These are extensive-
ground ofseveral miles in circumfei-once, laid out
in wal_lts for pedestrians. and long alleys and ave-
nuesof stately trees for the equippage of the en)-
peror and nobility, who emulate each other in
their horses and servants. There were about
eight h_untli:c‘d carriages‘ when ‘I visited it; many
with l'our_,horsc.-s. .
Next to the itnpeiial carriage, in which sat the
little Bonaparte, Zthc English envoy-Lord Stuart,
the brother of the Marquis of Londonderry, was
the most conspicuous. He drove himself a‘ cur-
ricle with two horses in which was Lady Stuart ;
bcliind him were two postilions, in black, on
horseback, and afterwards his coach with six. lib!‘-

little more than ten, is well grown of his age, and
seems very intelligent and very well. inst:-ncted,
and is a great favourite with his Grand Father,
and with every body. '
' I saw him first as he stepped out of the Impe-
rial carriage with his tutor: the main guard turn-
ed ottt to salute him ; the people remained unco-
vered, and the little fellow bowed on this’ side aritl
that, with an air that shcwetl that it was not the
first time he had rect-ivcd such respectlul sal-.lia-
tion. He has a fair complexion, _li;.;ht hair. blue
eyes, and an expression of countenance more ad-‘
niiablc than heroic. Iilllllst confess that although

W’: now learn that a serious rlili'cr: nce between
these two gentlemen has actually grown out ofthe
conflict ofjurisdiction between them in their olli
cial stations, in relation to the case ofCol. Callava.
This we consider a matter of much more interest
than the case in which it originated, and we think
it our‘duty to extract, for the information of our
readers,'the first notice we find ofit in the public
prints. It is contained in an article ‘ from an au-
thentic source,’publishcd inttie ‘Chatlcston South-
ern Patriot’ ofOctober 8 ; the material contents of
which are comprised in the following extract :
‘ Notwithstanding the pcndency of the question
ofjurisdictidn before the Executive, it seems that
Judge Fromentin did not hold himselfat liberty to

habcas corpus.—.But being anxious to avoid, in
ally way prejudicing the question relative to the
"papers demanded by General Jackson, he made
the frientls of the Colonel, who was then _ in pri-
son,-give secui-ity in the sum of $40,000, that the
papers should be forthcoming whenever the right
to them should be determined.
* The return made by Ge_neral Jackson to this
habeas corpus, was a citation to Judge Fromentin
to appear before him, to shew cause why he should
not be attached fora contempt offered to it supe-
rior tribimal, in the act of issuing that writ. In
the mean time, Callava was discharged, after his
‘sealed box had been broken open and the papers
taken off, and the further prosecution of the rem‘-
cdy of the habeas corpus became of course im-
material. . . ’ p‘ - ’_ . _
‘ An unwillingness to be openly embrgiled with
the Governor, however, induced Judge Fromentin
as an expression of individual and oflicial respect.’
But he had -no reason’ to be satisfied with the re-
sultofthis Visit.‘ Gen. Jackson told him expli-
citly, and afterwards repeated it to others,- *--that

of August, and from that time until the 3d Sept.
very little else was talked of in Pensacola. In the
course ofthat time a report got into circulation,
and reached the earsof Judge Fromentin, that on
his visit to Gen. Jackson he had made an apology
for issuin'g_thc writ ofhabeas corpus, and thereby
escaped punishment. V
‘ Unfortunately, instead of merely contradicting
the storyand disregarding it, he thought it incum-
bent upon him to rescue his judicial’character
from the odium of such a suggestion, and addres-
sed a letter to General Jackson, respectfully re-
questing the General ‘ to enable him effectually
to contradict that teport.’
‘ But: General Jackson maintained that he-had
done so ;‘ and Judge Fronientin treated it as an
injurious suggestion. This excited General Jack-
son toa final answer, which his best friends and
warmest admirers will ever regret that his pen
had produced. Detailed accounts of the whule
affair, with copies of the correspondence, have
been transmitted to VVashington, and we regret
to add that copies of the correspondence have
been confided to individuals and are circulating

the crew and plundering her of the most valuable
articles on board,--they then collectetl the com-

ing, as in the case of the brig, to consume vessel
and crew together, but tliese last fortunately had

have safely got back to Matanzas.
t On their arrival they applied to the Govenor
fur protection, and, after some delay, he allowed
the Americans in the place to arm in pursuit ol
the pirates. Three boats full set out in quest of
them, and, after a cruise of 26 hours, lime just

The action was fought at Pasco, and terminated
in the total defeat of the Spaniards, few of whom
