411 GERMAN PAPERS. VIENNA, DEC. 4.—lt is now quite decided that the conferences of Troppan, which, as the public has already been informed, are adjourned for three weeks, are to be continued here: we therefore expect this week the Ministers of France, Russia, and Prussia. back from Troppau. The Prussian Chancellor of State. Prince Hardenberg, and the Russian Secretary of State, Capo d'lstria, are like• wise expected. Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress, as well as the Emperor of Russia, will arrive here about the 12th. It is not known whe ther the Emperor Alexander will make any stay here. It is said rhat the answer from Naples to the proposals last made wilt decide on the opening of the conferences, The two couriers who were de spatched en the 12th November from 'f roppau, for Naples. and wore antionbeediy the bearers of those proposals, ma be expected about the 12th or 13th of this month, The latereport that Count Bellegarde was going to Milan, es civil, end military Governor is not con firmed. Though the Emperors have proposed to King Feolinand to come to Laybach in persn, and have offered in that case to meet him there, it is not supposed that. that Sovereign, at his advanced age, will undertake so lung a journey at such a season of the year. The conferences will therefore be carried on by she ministers of the five greet Powers, and a Pleeipotentiary of the King of Naples. HANDIr KR, DM .—lt seems that a consideruble number of subaltern officers and privates belong ing to the late German Legion have been, within a sot period, to London, to apply in person to the English gomernment for pensions In consequence of Which time English War-office has issued an official declaration, that "in future no claim of this nature shell be ettended to• unless it is first sent to England by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge as Colonel of the late German Legion, and an answer is returned from thence, that the claims of the applicants shall be inquired into." The men who have lately been to England would have been ex posed to the greatest misery, had not the British government provided for their support in England, and given them a free pelage home. CONITANTINOPLE, N OV. 12.—The reception given to Mr. Frere, at his first audience, was more flat tering than that ever given before to a minister of the second rank, and has seldom been equalled in the attentions shown to an ambassador of the tine cies'. After he tied delivered his address, the Grand Seignor himself spoke, and directed the Vizier what to answer. His Highness commonly communicates Otis command by a nod of the head only. Mr. Frere owes the distinction with which he has been treated, both to the friendly disposition of the Porte towards his government. and to his own firmness, mimed with prudent concession. Lord Strangford is soon expected here as English embassador. Baba Pacha, who commanded the expedition against Ali Paella, is dead. A man without talent, Hassan Packs, governor of Negrupont, has succeeded hint. Ali Peas is blockaded in the castle of Almia K.alitsi, REPUBLIC OF 114 Y TL Peseissestios to the People asd the Army of the eltribosits asd the North. " Jean Pierre Buyer, Pres Went of Hayti, " CITIZZIIS I SOLDIZAI !—The horrid despotism under which you have groaned these last fourteen years, and the misery• you have undergone, appear to approach to their end. The first effort fur your liberty is given you by St. Mares, which has just ranged itself under the banner of the Reptiblic.--It was nothing, my deer countrystieq, to have fought the French, to acquire our us I independence, lie wise organization and a well tepresenteol Governtnent, had not come to assure not only for our present generation but to our children, the benefits of the church and the equality of rights ; awl in the end to xuarantee a long existence to regenerated Harlon's.. it is for that object that the itepresentatoves opine protole are Jahr g, while Gen. Chrisioplie con sulted twining but his ambition and passions. He mis used the authority whirls had vanquished our ancient tyrants, entered this town like a desperado, where were collected the Constitutional Assembly, and col 11111111111111 l a civil was liec.ruse our Legislature had judged it IleCeb. sary, to Inuit tire niagisirate's auth y user the people.

The iron pod which lie liekl wesshirover your IseAr., will now he lorokrio w his own bands,—Citir us: Stoldiersl 1 will not repeat to you all the horrors which the Chief of the North, or Isis agents, hate c ed.

" Like my predecessor, Alexander Petion, the fo..ntler THE NATIONAL REGISTER of our Republic, 1 had always calculated, that with your should one day break the iron yoke of the op presor, who has so frequently violated personal rights, and heaped accumulated misery on Hayti. Follow the example of the Bth Brigade awl the garrison of St. March. Follow there brave men. A.I the military men who may joiti the Republic, shall be amply re warded. Alter this day of pain and sorrow will suc ceed those of union and friendship, " Inhabitants of the Artabonite and of the North : Soldiers of all ssnks, my companimis in arms, the Hay tians can no longer have any disputes to cause the du slim Of blood amoug themselves—let us thank the Al usighty—ki us forget all that has passed, aud be mind ful of the unfortunate.

" Thus, my friends, unite in re-planting the tree of liberty, which has been torn down by your t . s rants, but avoid all reproaches of your brethren. The Republic requires no bloody conquests. It wants wily those o ill: heart, and its kindest affectiosis. 11 any one errs, site laws will punish him. Forget. I say, once more, all that has past, and think only of lilt hinny. Coale like children, and enjoy the Irettelii of your laws. " Vise a la Republic of Hayti I Independence!

CHARACTER OF T. JIOORE, ESQ. AS 4 POET.' -4 01 0 " [From the" lblisman.l However the lame of Mr. Moore may be estimated by posterity, he stands among his contemporaries distinct and peculiar. There is little iu his beauties or his faults like theirs—be seems to have created a poetic language for him self. There is indeed, a higher species of poetry than that which he pursues; bin he advances this convincing of orr,o aal genius—u style which attracts every body—which none have exactly anticipated, and few can follow. With the spirit of puetty In its primitive character, this style has Co sympathy, nor dues it aspire to the later excel lence of classielii correctness. It is nut the laiiguime of 'wore, of sincere i motion, or of thoughts Outings beautilul, simple, or grand.

Burns is the describer of simple mimic mid all her rural circumstances.
