Frederick will re-ascend his throne, and that Prussia' Mill be compelled to renounce her projects. Eng land, however, strongly insists on the power of Prussia being greatly augmented. " The question of Poland remains still equally * undecided. Russia; like Prussia, founds her claims on the Convention of Kalisch; but the other Powers, and especially Efanc.e, Austria, and England, ab soltr.tely refuso to see so important a possession as Poland pass into the hands of Russia, which would give it so great a preponderance over the rest of the continent of Europe." The Court Gazette says, "the Emmet Of Austria, In consideration of the wish•expresserl by their Royal Highnesses - the Prince Regent of England and the I Duke of York, has appointed these two Princes Field-Marshels of his armies." The Austrian finances are still much deranged.— The extraordinary contributions which were imposed foi 1814 °say, will be etintiritred for 1815, notwitli- pending the kessation of hostilities. The extraordi nary expenCes for which our Government must pro., vide seem to render this measure uecessary, though It is by do means palatable. The German . Princes hirve presented a very mo' meotatiie note to Princes Metternich and Harden-1 berg, complsiniug that Kings alone had voices in the Congress. They cleirn to be reckoned something, at least in regard to the constitution of Germany.— They declare that they 'wish only the welfare of their subjects; that they are ready to establish States General where there were none ; and that they will take as a model the Constitution of the States Ge neral of Nassau. • It Is...asserted, that Prussia consents, by a separate treaty, to cede all Poland to Russia : these two Powers are agreed on the point, but Austria warmly opposes it. The King of Sicily is expected here. Nova/aim 19.—Lieutenant-General Baron Kol ler has received orders to proceed to the Isla of Elbe, • for which he will speedily set out. He hid yester day a very long conference with the Midi* for, Foreign Affairs, after which he paid a visit *tjr, Lori Castlereagh. The object of his mission is a mystery:;' but there are reasons to 'relieve, that it relates to the purposesof definitively u. fate of the Archduchess Maria Louisa ...sd her sea: deheral Koller was one of the Commis.'oners wise accom panied Bonaparte to' Elba,. and one ln'whom*bli re posed the greatest conadepce. Thh is . trobabty the cause 'of his being charged with thituegeciafloo. The Emperor of Austria Wee atiaiked with rheu matism after the hunting post of the 10th at Lintz, and obliged to keep his bed for some days ; but he is now much better, and for the last two days has dined with his family. The .Emperor of Russia is slightly indisposed, and keeps his chamber. His Majesty still labour under the effects of a fall which he had some time ago from his horse. To prevent inflammation, he has been prohibited from taking any kind of exercise. The Austrian army is to be kept three *ninths longer on the war establishment. It is generally supposed, that the Duchy of Parma will be restored to its former Sovereign; but the, Cabinet of Vienna persists in retaining possession of the three apostolic legations. Nov. 18.—A Memorial has been•published by M. Louis Boopcampagni, Prince of Piomhino and of the Isle of Elba, to the Congress of Vienna, setting forth his right to the Principality of rionabino and part of the Isle of Elba, and stating his VariOns pro tests against the different usurpations of his States. • The report Is revived, that Niece Metternich will be appointed Grand Chancellor of the Court and 'State, as a reward for his eminent services. No Austrian Minister since Prince &welts has been elevated to this distinction. Nov. 16.—1 t appears certain that Important changes will take place in Switzerland. The rumour, accredited by some Journals, of its being bate dud to give that country a King, is abturdi but it y to see, from the answer of the Emperor Al to the deputation of the Diet, that its constitutiAiill undergo some alterations, and that the wirier, pri vileges claimed by certain cities and cantons will be abolished. PARIS, Nov. 30.—The King presided on the 28th et a Council of Ministers at the Thuilleries, which sat three hours. Oti the same day tle Duke of Au gouleme reviewed several regiments of iufantry in the Champ de Mars. Yesterday a Bulletin was read in the Chamber of Deputies respectiog the health of M. Lain', who la boured under s remittent bilious fever ; but be was yesterday somewhat . better. Lord W. Beutiuck arrived at Toile on the 14th last. On the ifith.last. an Mashies courier arrived at Bologna. who was charged with important dispatches for the Grand Doke of Tuscany and the WO of Elba. DEC. l.—Yestirday his Excellency Baron Via. cent, Ambassador from Agit:ilk, was formally in troduced to his Majesty. The various members of the diplomatic corps had also an audience, when Mr. Crawford, Ambassador from the United States, presented Mr. Jackson as his Secretary of Legation. . MADdID, Nov. 10.—A report is spread, that the; Supreme Council of Castile is charged to propose to the King a plan for convoking the Cortes of the ; kingdom. The anxiety of the public opinion, the progreisive rigour of measures occasioned by circum stances, the state of the finances, and the alarming news, though not yet authenticat ed, respecting South America, all seem to render this great measure ne cessary. The King's promise on his entry into Spain' is only a conditional pledge, since his Majesty pro. posed an assembly of the Cortes only when thetran. quillity of Spain should permit him to consult with effect the wishes of his people. I f The Council of Castile is occupied in classifying ! the civil state of persons affected by the unhappy cir cumstances attending the in invasion of the Peninsula.' Under the relations of their property and their rights as citizens, it it said' their wilt be four classes, of which one will irrevocably lose the hope of returning to their country, and of. being restored to their pos. sessions. For the reit, the moderation and wisdom of the Council must be confided in. Nov. 17.—The Duke of San Carlos has resigned his office of Minister of State, and is succeeded by boa Pedro Cevallos, who held that office under Joseph. M. Escoiquic leaves the Coo► to Sateen)..

Her Royal Highness was re ceived with all the honours dee to her rank. The Princess spent several hoists on board with the dif- I ° ferent members of the diplomatic body, and the chief naval and military Neapolitan Seers, who paid" their respects to her.

If the fate of that country is in reality not decided in the, 1 way that has been represented, and FREDEkICE AUGUSTUS should be restored to his throne by 1 British magnanimity, how will the Times and Post justify the unmanly abuse which these Papers are 1 heaping on that unfortunate Sovereign? These prints have joined issue to-day in a trial of strength, which shalt most bespatter, from the rich repository of his vulgar scurrility, this Member of one of the most ancient Sovereign Houses in Europe ; and both seem to have es good a right to divide the prize which is to be found by diving in the mud as any brace of heroes who figure in the Dnaciad. It were well could, the inventors of the Titnes machine also discover some method of purify ing the style and sentiment of that Journal and its *flew . ..labourers in the vineyard of corruption ; but this we suspect is as hopeless as the perpetual motion.

ELSINEUR, Nov. 19.—We have had a dreadful storm.

I FRANKFORT PAPERS. FAANZTORT, Nov. 20.—The Chronicle of the I Congress brings nothing new or certain. The' fol. lowing are the most interesting particulars :—Not one, but three plans for the future Constitution of Germany, have beta laid before the Congress; none is decided on : a fourth plan, the Bavarian, is in circu. lation ; it is a mastee-piece, and has excited great attention. The verification of the full powers is I ended. The Ministers llumbold and Wissenberg were the Commissioners. The full power from )3a. den is alone wanting, the Ambassador to the Com" greys not being yet arrived. In the -sittings for the concerns of Europe, each Ambassador has his own . l Protocol Jourhal of the peoceeilings ; their lobelia are prosecuted daily, but there is not every sitting. The Councillors of Legation are in constant motion, with their porte.feeilles. The sittings in if* German Congress are the meat regular; Bavaria licit there a grastpart, but in its votes dqes Prussia the justice itoierits. • 1 An Envoy is also arrived troce the French Mar. shall ; they claim the preemies they bate obtained,' and have the effrontery to compare themselves with the Princes of the Rhenish Confederation. Russia has not yet renounced Poland, but is willing to give up parts of it. It seems that. Bavaria and Baden will soon be established on the left liek of the, Rhine. At the conclusion this Chronick Gays, " We must not expect from this Congress all the final re sults; it will probably be dotal at. the end of neat month, but all details will not In then settled." • Am ' • Malls.

Dutch and Ifamburgh Mails have arrived, and brought 'some information of iuterest. We subjoin extracts from the Papers and letters furnished by these arrivals. A storm has done much damage to the shipping in the Baltic, some particulars of which are given ; and the Vienna Negociations, which, by the other articles in this day's Paper, are represented as sufficiently turbulent and embroiled, are, by the ac comas thus received, made to promise still less a happy issue. Bavaria, it seems, refuses to give up Saltaborgh and the Inn, which Austria claims, until she (Bavaria) is put in possession of Mentz, a stipulation contrary to the views of the two great Powers who are now en deavtiuring to divide Germany between themselves. Political robbers, it appears, are infesting the very roads in search of dispatches to Congress. The Mail was stopped near Brescia, on the 4th ult. and the Government dispatches taken. Political robbers, in deed, are too amorous. The fate of the little Re public of Genoa is stated to be decided. / Bow these Sovereigns detest Republics ! Genesi le to be added to Sardinia. The articles we quote from the French Pipers, which are received to the 9,t1 inst. are so closely oinp netted with this subject, that we shall notice them previous to giving the extracts from the Dutch Mails., It appears from these, that the ascendancy arrogated by the assemblage at Vienna, ,is looked upon u an assumption of power of the most unjust sort by the interior German Princes. Those who do not form a part of the Committee charged with the regulation of t affairs, have given in a note of remonstrance, complain ing that Kings only have a voice in the Congress, and very justly demanding a reference to them, at least in what concerns the affairs of Germany. The Grand Duke of BADEN had previously transmitted a note, but which remains unanswered.--They de clare they only wish for the welfare of their sib jects—that they are ready to establish States where, none now exist, and to adopt as a model the Coes stitution of the State of Nassau. The German Princes wish for these as likely to confirm their I . OM, •
