BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS. STUTTOARD; JANUARY 12. Our King having this morning convoked in the palace his Ministers and the Council of State, de clared, in a speech addressed to the meeting, his 'vio lation to introduce into his kingdom, a conuitntion of States-General, and has published a manifesto to that effect. VIENNA, JANUARY 3. It is affirmed that Count Nessebode, the Russian Minister for the Foreign Department, - has, laid down his office. Count Capo D'lstria is reported to be his successor; and for the affairs of Poland in particular, Prince Czartorinski. JANUARY 4.—The change which has taken place in the Ministers for Foreign Affairs, is a sufficient proof that they have not been able to agree on the fate of Poland and Saxony. In respect of this change the following pasticulars are related:—The Emperor I of Russia requested the Emperor of Austria to re move Prince Metternich from the Foreign Depart ment, because he always placed too many obstacles in the way of the conclusion or a general agreement. The Emperor of Austria, always ready to make every sacrifice to accelerate the deliberations, and to bring about the peace, so long desired, consented to this, on condition that Count Nesselrode and another Minister should be removed. We now learn that Prince Metternich is succeeded by Count Stadion, and Count Nesselrode by Count Capo D'lstria, and for the affairs of Poland by Prince Czartorinski. It is likewise said, that the Prussian Minister, Baron Humboldt, is replaced by the Counsellor of State, Jordan. Janata s.—England, having made so suddenly peace with America, is expected to direct all its ex ertions to the affairs of the Continent. The best in formed persons here expect in eight or ten days something extraordinary and a final decision. The dispatches from England are said to presi much for, some speedy agreement. The affairs of Europe are said to have been really in a critical situation to some days past; but , the friends of war begin to lower their tone, and to believe that an amicable con elusion is at hand. There is no talk of the departure of any of the Sovereigns. Prince Narrinschkin is gone for a month to Italy ; consequently the Emperor of Russia will be here for that time. His object is merely a visit to that land of the fine arts. England, who is getting the whole State of Genoa, as well as some other pieces of territory, ceded to the King of Sardinia, is affirmed to have demanded the cession of the island of Sardinia, and there is every reason to believe that it has been made to it. The British Government does not intend to keep this Wand 1 Sardinia seems destined to the Order of Malta, and it will become in future as flourishing as it is now the contrary. Its position between Africa, Italy, and Spain, will secure the navigation of these seas against the robbers of Algiers, Tripoli, and Mo tom) ;as soon as the flag-of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem is hoisted on the towers of Cagliaria, there is no doubt but the African cruisers will desert those coasts which will become so dangerous for them. JANUARY 7.—lt seems certain, that the Peace con eluded at Ghent will be attended with consequences probably decisive in respect to the operations of Con giess. The language of the English is already ob served to have become much more urgent ; a speedy decision cf the great affairs of Europe is expected. The crisis seems to be at hand, and it is hoped it will conclude in a manner satisfactory for the happiness of the world. " The decisive moment is approaching, some expect to see the . Congress break up, and the Emperor of Russia put himself at the head of his army in Po- land ; others pretend that the Triumvirate of the North is agreed better perhaps than is suitable to the independence of Europe ; that Austria consents to the incorporation of Poland and Saxony on coodi. tion of obtaining an extraordinary increase of tern. tory in Italy. This expectation agrees with the re ports of clumps of _Ministers. The Prince — Royal of Wirtemberg, is definitively di vorced from the Princess Charlotte of Bavaria, whom the policy of Napoleon had forced him to espouse. This young Prince, who is gently beloved by the Emperor Alexander, and who with Blucher and' Wellington is considered as the hero of the campaign of 1814., is to espouse the Grand Duchess Catherine, Duchess of Oldenburg. The most singular report which circulates at Vi. enna is, that of the abdication of the Grand Duke of Baden, whose health is very precarious, and who has had no son by the Grand Duchess Stephanie Napo. ; Icon, born Tauber. JANUARY 6.••• They write from Bologna that a great correspondence with the Isle of Elba has been disco vered in all Italy, and that the King of Naples has, published a Manifesto, the contents of which give vise to many conjectures. JANUARY B.—The Ministers and Negociatiiii the Congress seem now to be more busy than ever. ,In one of the sittings held last week, the Prussian :Nlinister, Prince Flardenberg, made a speech upon the advantages of the union of Saxony with Prussia. The Sovereigns are seldom seen. A grand party • Traineaux will shortly shew them again to the :public. All the artists are employed in gilding, de coratrons, Ike. The Nobility will probably appear )n great splendour. Such a tete at Vienna, is a sight. that may be really called extremely beautiful. • FRANKFORT, JANUARY 14. The Chronicle of Me Congress states, that since Lord Castlereagh's note, pressing for the decision of cer tain grand points by the 14th of January, a note in reply has been delivered by Prisuia. There is the snore reason to hope that something will be decided within the next fortnight, as the private conferences :between the Sovereigns are frequent. The crisis cannot be far off. A certain great State gave its con seat to the occupation of Saxony in November last. A conference of two hours, on the Sd of January, :I)etweeo the two Emperors, has petimps decided it, ; Chi the 2.1 instant, the dap alter tbetaews of the ''Peace*ati thAraan t . o aa i a l aa d rier9 4et ith it 111 " 114 ' 4 11;11 1 4 dispatched Con ag an ert deeded that _ ~ a will lot ssot3o the union orflarny "ilk 4 tUKOPY . ;be 010giw.woard .beof no use.

The vastest ferment o n preVails ametrgst the people, in lorclasses oesociett. Colonel Dalrymple has writ ten to the Xing of Sardinia, to intreat, that no Sar dinian troops may be sent into the town or its terri tory, as he could not answer for their safety. The English have bccome the objects of ourhatred. The Americans, after the destruction of Washington, were not sajustly animated with detestation of them as we arp, since the cession of our unfortunate coun try.—The President of the Republic, M. Serra, on resigning his office, addressed a lively . and energetic Proclamation to the Genoese people, in which he so lemnly entreats the Powers to guarantee the indepen dence of a people, who had been free for many ages, which had always had the advantage to govern itself, and is now robbed of its liberty at the moment in which it appeared to be secured for ever. The popu lace assembled in the public places, shouting, " The Republic of Genoa for ever I—Serra for ever I—The Father of his Country for ever I—Serra for ever 1" They ran to Sevres house, intreating to see him, but he had left Genoa the moment of his resignation. LEINIC, JANUARY 9. The general government of the kingdom of Sazony has published a regulation, which imports, that all strangers who arrive at Leipsic, must (at farthest), two hours after their arrival, be announced at the police-office of the general gov rnment, with a writ. ten declaration of their name, surname, rank. resi. dence. the day of their arrival, the object of their visit, fled the time of .their (intended) departure, and the house at which they have put up. All strangers are to demand, within 2f• hours (at farthest) after their arrival, a card of residence from the police-office. No inhabitant must lodge a stranger longer than 24 ►hours, if he cannot legitimate himself by a card of ad. mission. The offenders against this order will be punished by a fine of five crowns, which may be in creased according to circumstances. PARIS, JANUARY 19. In the night between Friday and Saturday neat a Committee, at the head of which is the Chancellor of France, with the Ministers of the Interior and the Household, will attend at the burial ground of the Magdalen, to be present at, and to attest the removal of, the remains of the unfortunate Louis XVI. The Chancellor had already ascertained that the coffin containing the body had been deposited there in a grave ten feet below the surface, filled up with some layers of lime, and afterwards with earth. It will be easy to recognise the body, the Ecclesiastic who was present at the burial having declared the King wore a vest of silk, with a purse in the pocket con taining some pieces of money. The scarlet compa nies of the King's Household will form the escort of the bodies of the King and Queen, which will be W- I lowed by the Princes and others in procession across the Boulevards to the gate of St. Deanis.—The King and the Duchess of Angouleme will remain in the Thuilkries ; but detachments of the King's Household will be in attendance to receive the proces. :ion on its arrival at the Church of St. Dennis. PRIVATE LETTER. " Parr, Jaanary I?. 11 The church of St. Roque, in die rue St. Honore, seems destined to be the theatre of destructive or alarming exhibitions. The traces of Bonaparte are still visible in the steps and on the walls of that con- secrated building, when the fire of his artillery was floured upon the defenceless multitude by which they were surromuled—and when by this, the earliest of his civic exploits, he laid the foundations of his future Empire in the bleed of the inhabitants of Paris.— This day, the same spot was signalized by a spec :tack to the full as extraordinary, though less tragical in its immediate consequences—what its remote ones may be, I do not pretend to judge. Mademoiselle Rancour, a celebrated actress of the Theatre Fran cois, and a woman of respectable character, died three days ago, at the age of sixty. Her corpse, at tended by a string of canines; and a large concourse of people of all ranks and descriptions, was brought for taterment this morning to the church St. Roque. You know that by the' rigorous ordinances of the Romish worship, actors and actresses are in a state of excommunication ; which. if enforced, would de prive them of the benefits of Christian burial. Many years have passed away since any such barbarous exclusion was practised here ; and, certainly, the attendants on the remains of this deceased per were little prepared for the disappointment which awaited them, when they found the gates of the church locked against them, and admission peremp torily refused. Their dismay was succeeded by the tudierol indignation of the spectators. ' u An immense crowd began to assemble ; cries of fury and vengeance were heard in all the adjoining quarters of Pans ; the rue St. Honore, and all the avenues within a quarter of a mile of the scene, were blocked up by the populace. The church doors were broke open, btu no priest 'appeared; tad the most I frightful disturbance was apprehended ; nor was it supposed that the effects of the popular agitation would end with the cause which bad produced In the mean time a message was sent to the King. supplicating his Majesty's interposition, foe the sib oflumanity and for the public peace of the capital. . The first answer returned from the Castle was, that the affair belonged to the jurisdiction of the Church, and that the King coeld not interlined& with the Spiritual Authorities. A second depoiatioa pteideed ed to the Thuilleries. as the tumult increased, and the danger of some movement Approaching to in surrection became every moment more visible. At the same time a declaration was communicated to the Court, on the part ef all the actors, actoesses, and attendants on every theatre in Paris, sbot-if , the • re. mains of Mademoiselle Rancour Were elt ila* admitted to the privileges of Christian upshot, est would' in a body read their recantation, and adopt the Lutheran, or (I believe) the Calvinistic faith. The second message succeeded better than tbe first, Red brought back an order born-the tins to prie!thond. co receive the eclipse and read thefts service.

I have just beard that the same priest, who tithed the disturbanse of this morning, had once at tempted something of the taste kind early in the reign of Bonaparte ; but pretensions of that nature were not to the taste of him who never tolerated a double ty ranny—the offending cure was in consequence put out of office." . . 1 Ag 4 4 4 1 3 1 A ; a • , 4 , Y • • o 4 .

The dispatches from Vienna are said to be of the highest importance. All the great points under discussion at Congress, are reported to have been set tled, and Lord CASTLEREAGH is making preparations to return to London. As we stated yesterday the Islands of Goadsloupe and Martinique have bees formally delivered up to the French Authorities. The French man of war which brought the intelligence to L'Orient had a quick passage, having left Martinique about the middle of December. The inhabitants of Hamburgh have determined to maintain their independence of all Continental Sove reigns, and have made known their resolution to the Congress at Vienna. They have, in a marked and particular manner, declared their aversion to pay tribute to any Power in future for protection.. This is supposed to be aimed at Denmark. It appears by advices from Cadiz, that a British Commissary had arrived there ; and that, from recent representations made to the Spanish Government, a new decree was published and sent to the several Custom-houses throughout Spain, charging the same duties upon French manufactures as are now laid upon British, and thereby placing both nations in this re spect on an equal footing. The Spanish Government have also called upon all the merchants who have hi therto obtained the passirg of French goods through the Custom-houses, on the payment of duties in con- formity to the treaty of 1792, to pay up the deficiency thereon of 82f per cent. which had not been demanded in the first instance, through an oversight. The merchants were preparing to comply with this order. Trade was much revived at Cadiz, and in other parts of Spain. The holders of British goods, who by a former decree of ' Government were ordered either to dispose of them, or export them by a certain date (we believe the Ist ofJanuary), have obtained a fur ther indulgence, and are allowed two months longer for the disposal or exportation of their goods. Fresh accounts bad arrived at Cadiz from New Spain to the 2d of November. Letters to that date had been re ceived from Vera Cruz, which mention that more money was about to be shipped off to the mother country. Every thing was' tranquil in New Spain. This late date sets completely at rest the intelligence from New Spain by the way of Carthageai, that the colonists had declared their independence. WINCHUTZR, JANUARY 28.—The Inhabitants and particularly the Tradesmen of this City, have much reason to congratulate themselves on the bustle which has been occasioned by the Court Martial en Sir JOHN MURRAY; by this circumstance in fact, they are enabled to accomplish that which is not very usual at this season of the year, namely, 46 to reap a very rich /larvae." Every article of food has been raised in price twenty per cent. ; and bad the Emperor of RussiA and all his suite taken up their quarters in the city, the good housewifes could not be more liberal in their charges for lodgi . ngs. The inns are all full, and many have some difficulty in procuring even tolerable accommodation. Admiral HALLOWILL has been obliged to be COLIMA with very plain apartments, at a *m. dealer's in what is called the Square, a place which , with equal propriety, might be named a circle or an octagon. Sir Jona MURRAY is more successful, for himself and his suite are well lodged in a large and comfortable dwelling, celled Barnard House, in the close behind the Cathedral. Since the adjournment of the Court, many of the' members and witnesses have quitted the city, which, to do it justice, partakes of the sombre cast of its cathedral, and affords scarce any amusement in which those accustomed to active life could take pleasure. There are no theatres, no assemblies, and very little society. Under each circumstances, it is not wonder. ful that many have seized with avidity the interval of adjournment, to visit scenes more congenial with their feelings. A Country Gentleman, who.had never before ad. yeeterad in the Lottery, bought a Sixteenth of No. AM* at Woes Offsee. on Wednesday last ; in an beer afterwards it was drawn a Prize of Tea Mama ON Moira Pm* I The First Drawn, Ticket above £25 next Friday, shiS7th, being the Second Day of Drawing, will be also eudded to MONO° ; and as there are Two of 11, 20.004, sod the SHALLRST number of TICKsTs ever bow* to have Two such Lagoa Prizes, there is a . very ratienal Chance of . the First Drawn above £25 r e i s n i a n drawn a £20,000 besides ; when the fortunate would %v. a Prize of a:4o,ooo.the on. et w ildettlft:NO very zArtox a Pans. as no such ice qui St allotted. so on Twin NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

By a letter from Liverpool, of the 17th, it appears that the Albion has likewise arrived at Liverpool. The particulars of this recapture, which are singular, are given by Captain Acces, of the Harlequin, in a communication to his friends here : " Liverpool January 15. a We arrived here on the 14th instant, after a pas sage of 27 days. On the 27th of last month, expe rienced very bad weather, and lost our deck cargo and compasses. On the 7th instant, in the afternoon, we descried a sail a-head; I immediately called alt hands to clear for action, though we bad only two guns on board, but she hoisted English colours. I went on board to get a compass, and found she was manned with Americans; on which I told them that I had 60 men on board and 18 guns, and would sink them if they would not surrender their ship, and con sider themselves prisoners of war. The Prize Master gave her up, I took all the prisoners out, and sent the Chief Mate and seven men on board, to bring her to Liverpool. She proves to be the ship Albion, Cap tale Scowls°, from London, bound to Bermuda, laden with provisions, captured by the Brutus, Ague t ican privateer, on the 27th ult. in lat. 50. 20. long. 14.
