THE STATESMAN. PROPOSITI TIMAX. LON DON: TUESDAY, NOTLXIIIIIII 28. GERMAN Papers arrived in town this morning, from whit h we have made some extract,..--From Spain and France various accounts have also been reccired—the report of the Fretsch*Emection assuming the title of Emperor of GERMANY, IS repeated with much confidence. To us this appears wholly improbable. What addition can the title of Emperor of GiastAmy make to the power or reputation of NaPocuom ? On the subject of the . Toulun fleet ) the French Papers arc silent ; but a letter was received in town from Ramsgate ) of which the knowing is a copy : " R niG ttt, Nov. `27.---A Person is suet arrived here, who hft Dunkirk esierday (Sunday) wonting, and informs us, mat an account had been received there of au adios be tween the Knititth and Frr'wk Beets, and that slitters sail of sttipi had bet.' talteuann dratro)ed of the latter, bat the ac count was kept so private, that he could not learn particulart, except s, above." Tills intelligence is still inconclusive. Sixteen sail of ships are said to have been captured, but of what dtscriptiuu we arc not told. From Spain, each succeeding arrival brings pri vate communications, which render it impossible to doubt the speedy subjugation, or perhaps, more properly fpcaking, submission of the Penin sula. The peaple,whose personal animosity against the Frezch is in nu wise abated, suspecting them selves to be betrayed, will infallibly submit, as soon as NapoLv.ox again makes his appparance in Sain.

An article from the coast of the Mediterranean, dated the 4th, contains the following particulars : 46 Admiral Baudin having sailed from Toulon, with three ships of the line and two frigate!, to escort a convoy to Uarcelona, was met on hit sop age by an English lied of siateen sail of the line, including fire three.deckers. The Lion, of 80 guns, made sail from this superior force, and gained the harbour of Cettc, The Robusl and the soree stood along the coast, and with great gal. lmstry engaged the whole English fleet, but at last g,t aground. Rear Admiral Reedits haling re. moved tire cannon, rigging, acid stores, set Ere to these two•ships, in order that the enemy might not gale possession of them. was himself one of the last men who left his own ship.

It would be consistent with prudence, were the Proprietors to caution the Managers against thr representation of such pieces as the " Roman Fathee—Thlcontrast, of Roman virtue with the ce►udect of the Proprietors and Co. excites ideas in the minds of the Public by no means calculated to produce tranquillity.

P. has been repeatedly announced—and yet true to his motto—" Resur ffam"—we found him alive and merry last night in the Rotes, Pit, and Gallery. Of the duclama. tion in the Roman Father, very little was hoard &Per the first act--and from the moment of ad mission at half price, the performances in the in terior of the House absorbed all other sounds. Don Juan was the after-piece, there consequently was nothing lost but the music , which the com. pang appeared, from the general satisfaction that was expressed, to tbiuk more than compensated by that of the Pit. • Mr. Wienhult was in one of the Dress Boxes, with his 0. P. embroidered on his coat. The evening heintg cold, this Gentleman wore a while cap during (h.:whole evening, which excited many humourous observations. To our great astonish ment, he was not dragged to Bow-street fur dis playing this new badge of " ►nrtiinous insubordi nation." If a number of Gentlemen deem it ' prudent to fellow Mr. Wienhult in this precaution against cold ► we shall not be surprised at the pro. duction of fpurpenti) night-cages as evidence of a conspiracy. As we understand that several other white caps were visible last night, it,is probable they will become very general. The utility of such a covering against the inclemency of the Sea. son is obvious. The placards were numerous ; some of them had been prepared with much care, and not without expence. CONSPIRACY " Iketween Kern),le, Gihitt, Read, Nlainwstring, Br infirm.

The evening concluded u ith groans and hisses. There were very few contests, and only oue per. son was dragged to BO W-STR EI.T. Professor Brandon performed, as usual, the part of the Public Accuser. The charge was, for wear. iug a white chip hat—nit a white night-cap.-. with the kiters 0. P. and joining in a dance in the Pit. The accused, whose name was Cline, was, of course, held to bail. . CROWN OFFICE. In tlic hope of subduing by the force of stoney, that mutilioul insubordination, which has hitherto resisted as well the bludgeon as the list, the Pro prietors have indicted several individuals beftre the Crown Office Grand Jury.

Professor Brandon appeared at an early hour this morning in the Stutiente Box, in theconfident expectation that the Fishing Bill, filed in the shape of a criminal information against Mr. Clif ford, Mr. Wienholt, Mr. Savage, Mr. Ridley, and Mr. Scott, would, on the Defendants' chew. ing cause, furnish him with some of the greatly. desired information on the subject of the evidence to be adduced in the approaching trial, in which the Professor is unfortunately the Defendant. 'Khis expectation, however, being foreseen, and the Defendants all relying on the jusliec of their cause, resolved, by toot sheaving that cause, to let the accusation go before a Jury of their country. On the necessary affidavits of service being read, the rit"e was made absolute. We sincerely rejoice in this determination of the Defendants—as the discussion of the ques. tion before a Jury, will be infinitely superior to any other mode of decision. DINNER.

BANES 07 VII Etat, Nov. 3.—From the con ditions of the Peace between Franco and Austria 1 , it appears, that after sacrificing near one-fifth part of his possessions, the point of population, and near one-third part of his revenues, thi weak Emperor Francis is made to join the Contimental System of Exclusion against England, and loses the few sea-ports that still bclooked to him. The 6th Westphalian regiment, which lately left Ham burgh, on extorting a considerable sum of money under specious pretences, is now returned thither. They now speak of an Hanseatic CONGRESS at RA311E111011: it consists of 4 Senators of Has,- burgh; 2 Senators from Bremen ; and as many from Lubeck. The French Minister Bourrienne, and Monsieur Reinhaud, French Minister at Cassel, preside at this Congress, which has assembled for several days past at the house of the French Minister there. The 'object of the Congress is said to be, to force the Manse Towns to join the Confederation of the Rhine, furnish contingents of troops nominally ; Ham burgh 6000 men, who are to be armed and soot to Spain, to receive the code Napoleon, and make various changes in the constitution, and, perh tps, to receive a Protector. The Senate, to whom the proposals have been communicated, keep them secret, and are allowed to withhold their deter mination till the deputation, which, with the rest of the Haase Towns, they have been permitted to , send to Paris, shall hive returned. VILUA, Ocr. 25.--The Viceroy of Italy is arrived at Milan. The Prince of Neufchatel will remain the longest at Schjonbrunn. The Dale of Ragusa (Marshal Mermaid), occupies the Let_ torte, D &main, and Croatia ; anJ the Duke of Riruli (Marshal Massena), the quarter of the Inn ceded to Bavaria.

King's army which had penetrated to Kunde on the 23d, put itself on its march to Hall on the 21th in the morning, and passed the night under arms before the town. The march was quiet, only the advanced guard of the second division found some insurgents near Volberg, on the bridge, who were immediately dispersed. The bridgeon the Inn, near Hall, was broken down, and on the opposite heights were a crowd at insurgents, be hind an ill-constructed intrenchment. The throw. iug of some grenades dispersed them. The bi idge was restored, and a strong piquet occupied the forsaken height. On the 25th it was occupied by a whole hatallion, which was attack.li several times during that day by the peasants, but all in vaiu. FROM THE FRENCH' PAPERS.

S:rtr.t¢, Nov. 2.—We have seen with satisfac. lion a letter, dated from the Heights of Bruisolas, about a league distant from Gerona, from which the following account is extracted Since the 18th inst. (the letter is of the 21st October), Ge neral Luigoin occupies the heights with the division under his orders, composed of 5000 men, and forming the advanced party of the troops, who support the heroic Jerome of Gerona. On the 19th, the enemy advanced to reconnoitre that poi. lion, and was repulsed with loss. On the 20th, at break of this, ha returned to the charge, and at 8 o'clock in the morning, three of the enemy's camps were -burning, which some of our 11) ing parties had set ots fire. At 1 o'clock in the after noon, the French attacked our troops with 30(.0 foot and 200 horse, but were so warmly received, that they speedily fell back to their camp. Our loss consists of 20 killed and wounded, but that the enemy is far more considerable."
