Ever.. since this time an extra, ordinary activity' has been observed in • the bureau of the IVar Department ; a great number of Extraordinary Couriers have been successively disiiatched. In circles which think themselves best informed, it is pretended that the. Emperor Alexander _haS declared himself in a de cisive manner respeeting Poland and Saxony, and that this declaration in the present state of affairs , must lead to a crisis: On the other hand people pre tend•to hare observed that the French Negociators do not .show in the negotiations all the frankness that might be.desired. flowerer that he, it is cer tain that Russia and PrusSia arc more closely united than sever; that Austria, England and 'Bavaria act in concert ; and that the policy of France seems to incline to those Powers, In case of a new war, _ltaly, Poland, and Germany will be the theatre of it ; it is_ asserted that the neutrality ,of Holland and Belgium %rill be• secured by the influ e nc e of England.

The most tangible report in circulation is, that the fate of Saxony is decided, and that Lusatia and other pro vinces only are to be ceded to Prussia, an indein nity, for which, in favour of Saxony, will b° given in the Duchy of Warsaw.
