FROM THE DU ral PAPERS. KANOVeII, ric. 26. M. de Kruseatark, a Prus.ian Officer, has just arrived at the head-quarters of General Tolstoi, to announce, that the Russians in Hanover are to be in twine under the command of Prussia. It is not doubted, that this measure, concerted between the Courts of Peterphurgh and Berlin; will put a period to hostilities tlituu,:hout the Eh:nor:it,: ; but we know nut yet what is to become of the Swedish a rmy, and the Anglo.lianoverian legion. Leticia tr , .m Berlin assert, that the residence of the Gland Duke Constantine in that city has given . rise to very important political conjeaures. It is believed that he is charged with an important rills ' siiin fom the Emperor his bruCier. it is teported th st His Impetial Majesty has invited the King of Baia to accept the Quite of Mediator, to restore Pi ace between Russia a1..1 France, and that the Court of Berlin has accepted that invitation with pleasure.

(;reat preparations are making for the reception of the Emperor, who is expeeed neat week. It is said that the Fie Loral Family of Bavaria will return with their hlarsties to Paris. f4ANICIORT, JAM. I. We learn from Neuwied, that a considerable corps I et French troops, having arrived from the interior of France to jnin the at my of the North, received at .11toprart ord.•rs so halt. and the nest stay orders to proceed to Franconia, itiAead of descending the Rhine. The march of the Prussian troops is in a great . eneasnre suspended ; ti:e garrion of !lethal is seen on the point of returning to that city. We are informed th it IS troll &abler, who, before the commencement of hostilities, discharged the functions of Minister from Russia, at Munich, and who has since been at Giniuu, is suddenly arrived Lei; sick, and will he charged with the negosialion of peace between Russia and Fiance. P 5555, JAN. R. His Irn7vrial Majesty arrived at Munich on the 31st of 11sicember. The Rochtifort sqnadron, whose return to port we have already announces!, was absent from the Isle of Air 161 days ; it kept the sea Isa . ._ days.

The two first of toe bill:- liambiirgh Mail-. which became due )'ester) iy, arrived last Morning. bat their contents have bee in a great mea‘ure, anticipated by the German Papers, which we re ceived last week. Dutch Paper; have he-n also re cawed, containing tile Paris nc.•:s to the 9:' instant. We cannot crnica frog: these sevcra• sources of intelligence any new paiticulars 0! the treaty of Preshingh. We find Iron: articles of a date prior to its mention, that BONA r AarL was determined to cut and carve the German Empire, without limitation or controul. An order of the day, dated at Schonbrunn, on the 19th, de clares, that he has guarantoed to the three Elec tors of BAVARIA, Witeraufkaan, and B,oex, com plete, an.l absulitte sovereignty in their daminions." Ani sore complaints of the Eilaestzian and Teti. tonic Order. having been laid beiore the Die; oC Ilatisbon, the French Minister lisnouvii.t.E de clared to the Arch-Chancellor, that the Emperor NA2Jr.EOV Ltd elt %Jai ar,d the power to niodifi the G.,rritanie Constitution as circitnivances might require ; in other words, as h., should think fl:. "These fans sufficiently indicate Ilse cliar..ller of the Treaty of Piesburgh BON AIP AllTt arrived at Mnnich on the 31st List, on his mum to France. The El; Aural family of Bavaria !rill accompany him to Paris, in which city the suptiali of Euo►.Ne BEI•J:IARNOIS, and the Princesi AUGUST A of B•VARIA will be celebrated. The i'oreign Papers announce the return of the Rochiort squadron to port, after having taken, in its cruise, 31) prizes. Satordsy being the day set apart for the colcbra tion of the anniversary of ll:r NIA) EST T'S birit-day, the Stock Exchange was shut. Many bargains were, however, made, and the Consul; remainc•l steady at GI. This improved state of the funds is ascribed to various causes. Some assert, that nego eations for peace between this country and France, have been opened at Berlin ; others, that overtures may be speedily expelled, and that a change of Ministry, favourable to peace, is in contemplatinn. Others contend, th t tke state of our finances is suf ficient to account for the rise in the fonds. There is, at present, no isconsi.lerable quantity of cash in the Treasury, arising from the sir-plus of the five millions vested last sessi•o for continental purposes. The produce of the Income Tax is .also said to have exceeded the estimate ; and these two circumstances, it is supposed, •vill enable the Minister to defer the Loan to a mete distant period of the Sessiou than waso•iginallc expelled. It has been fartf . .er sfated. as a proof of the proiperoui s•.ne t.f the market, that there is not one shilling of floating Omnium lett. This last asserti3n, Lowever, is no; correct. One gentleman writ in the•e millions on Sam day, but there is to the amount of five millions still in the market. The continued stay of the Earl of Han. ate Gross, and Lord Ha anowsv, at Berlin, so long after the original ohjen of their mission was defeated, by the events in Moravia, is also favour able to speculations on peace.
