BorraDEAttx,' OCT. 22. —BLIONAPARTE.—TWO. postilions, attached to the suite of the , c'i-decant tmperor, and who accomPinlied: him to Elba, have lately riquihed to' this city. One - of. them riles here with his releiveS, and gives the fol? lowing account 'of this r.ktraordluary personage, whicVmay be 'regarded as authentic "`-The troops stationed - at Porto-Ferrajo• muounted - to about 1000 Men. The soldiers have. not. touched a franc of their pay for the last cam paign, but they are promised to be paid punctually in future. This, lionseVer,• does' not lessen their attempts at desertion, which they eagerly seize every•opportunity to effect, as they find their re sidence tn• the island. insupportable. Bitonaparte, feeling aware of this, causes - even the smallest ;vessels Which approach' the ••isle to be closely watched ; -but, 'spite of all his vigilance, defections take place.every day. : " One Lady (only), the wife of General Ber trand, is at present at the mock Emperor;s Court, which in the whole consists of 40 persons. How ever, the Ladies of rorto .Ferraio, according to the phrase of the postilions., the, great ones of the cduntry,frequentlyvisit their territorial Sore reign-:"Two castles are now building near the port, and the great roads near the - town are im •proving „to •an. extent of four leagues."—(illenzo rita de Bourdeaux.) MoNT CErits:—The English Journalists have published, and several French papers have repeat -ed, an article which cannotbe but extremely injit rious to •the interests of the department of Mont Blanc, inasmuch as. it may deter travellers from `going to Italy. They state that the route of Mont 'Cenis continues to he .infeste&by banditti, and :which reports at Geneva carry up to 2000 men. — These reports, however, are totally void of foun.- dation. The Forte of.Mont'Cenis, as well as the whole neighbourhood, is remarkably safe, and is constantly .travelled through liy night and by day, and it never has . come to the knowledge of the .Pulice Administration, that the travellers, eit:.er in going to or returning-from Italy have it et with the least molestation. HAMBURGII,- OCT . 19.--,-General'Bennigsen has . jitst received a Courier from the Swedis•li Cabinet, , whose dispatches announce that tranquillity being re-established in Norway', and the umon assented to on both sides, the Icing of Sweden'hadno fur- ther occasion korthe Russian auxiliary corps des -tined to' second the operations of the Swedish troops; The Vienna Courier was attacked ;some days. ago near•Luneburg.

It would appear that these pretended rob berS wanted only these dispatches. STkASBURG, OCT. 22.—We are authorised to contradict, in • the most, formal manner, all the false reports invented! and 'Propagated by male , volence, with regard tti a_ceSsion by France of a part of her provinces bordering on the Rhine, and as to Lire movements •and increase of the allied, torces on the other side of the Rhine. Never were circumstances in more satisfactory state, nor rela tions between these Pftwers and .France better estanlNhed. The fires seen on the 18th, on the mountains of Baden, had no other cause but the rejoicings in honour of the anniversary of the battle of Leipsic. !

THE CONGRESS. Although the pro,ceediugs of the Congresshave hitherto been involxed in considerable obscurity, we believe that the*. ; following may be received as a tolerably accurate outline of what has occurred at that important Assemblage :7 Before proceeding to the iristallation of the, Congress., a ,meeting of the Ministers of the,lead ingPoWerS was4meld, to arrange its forms. Seve ral difficulties presented themselves, and athong the rest that relative tOthe admission of Plenipo tentiaries from thogePOWers whiCh had not been yet generally recognized, Mu RAT, ~G entra, Saxo ny, &c. The mode of voting formed another question, from the reluctance - of the Powers of . . the first rank to he placed on a footifig with ,the inferiorcnies To arrange those matters, it was sug gested that a Commission, to be calletithe Prepa tive, should .be formed, in which. all that related to the. formation of - the Congress was to be dis cussed. Tiiis Commission itself because an ob.- ject of disussion among the Ministers of the lead ing PoWers. It was at first settled, that it shOuld cOnsist of but a few members ; and that, to avoid offending the excluded Ministers, those members should be sirictly the representatiVes of the Powers most consiilerable in, territory and population, — namely, Russia;- England, Austria, Prussia,- Spain; and France This plan was nearly adopt .. ed ; its execution was to. have been s,anctioimed on the 30th tilt. itt un Assembly of the a Ministers .of the PoWers, and prommlgated on' time first of October by q . declaration. It was altered at the 1 instance of. the Portngnese Minister, who, by strongly pressing the justice of his reasons, sue ' ceeded in secar:ng for the basis of the Commis sion, the principle of the 32d article of the Treaty of Paris : in other words, that the treaty having announced the convocation of CongreSs . ,:the Mi nisters of the Ceanrts' which had been parties to it,• had a right to be :Members of the COmmiS sion ;,- 7 7a principle •attended with, the additional convenience, that the other Ministers might be thus excluded_without jealousy. In the event, the names of the _Portuguese and Swedish Mi nisters ' were introduced, and the whole •now compose the assemblage on whose deckions .the bases of the Congress are to depend. it is to be . observed, that the question of general pacification has passed away from among the , objects of Con gress. The state of war was-extinguished at the moment of signing the-Treaty of Paris. The • grand deliberation now is a Federative Covenant, having for its base the public law of nations sus pendedsince the beginning of the revolution, and combining with this another eminently interesting to the Allies, even before the peace—the proposed distribution of Poland, Germany, and Italy. This latter share of the .plan, which might have been of time most facile , execution while the Allies still occupied France. has become seriously difficult since the recovery of the latter Power front time state of feebleness in which she %V AS at that period ; for it ;wears, that in defiance of the Secret Article of the Treaty of Park, by which the Allies. reserved to themselves . ' the disposal of the territories actually occupied by their troops, and in the,face of its sancion by the French Go-' vernment, M. TALLEYRD has violently-opposed ; himself to the establiShinent of its bases by the CommiSsion„ aninionCing, that France will, never allow of the measure except in the preSence of , .Congress ,openly hearing the .parties concerned in the adjudication. It- further appears that M. TALLEYnAND haS threatened, if- the, Allies per siSt in this arbitrary distrintition by-time Cot-Mills sion, that be will. withdraw, and that his Court Will.feel itself forced to pablish the :motives of its I'le.4ipotentiary. . . .. • • Besides Spain, the French Minister relies on' the support of the secondary German Powers.— The EngliSh Minister, too, would probably lean to his side, except frOm his engag - ements.with the Allies, contracted. either with a view to the sup port of Holland, or to the primary object—the abolition of the Slave Trade. Even the Allies are not in perfect harmony with, each other : the fate of Poland and o Saxony are the principal points of difference. It is not true that M. TALLEYEAND has touched 'on the antiquated subject of " Maritime flights." The matter of chief remark in the Declaration which he made to the Congress, and which has been Called a " Famous Note," relates to the ad •missionur exclusion of certain Ministers from that ItSsembly-, drawing a line by which those Princes . are to be excluded ‘vhose title was not universal- ly recognized before the war.; the probable intent of this being to admit the Minister of Saxony; and shut out that of DRAT. It is not, however, correct to speak of Notes presented by him since, with.the exception of a sketch of the Declaration of October 8, all his communications up to the 14th instant were merely verbal. A separate Commission has been appointed for the exclusive settlement of the affairs of Germany. The Constitution of that Empire is to undergO a .thorough . Change ; and it is -understood that Chore . no -longer be an Elective Head, and consequently no longer any Electors.—The Ha noverian Minister, it is said, has oilicially.notiiied that his Sovereign will take tire title of King ; and his example will probably be followed by the Elector of HESSE CASSEL. So tar as ‘ve can .yet judge, Germany will be moulded into a Conic= deration„ of which a Directory, delegated .by the principal Powers, is to constitute the head. - • Tlrelast - artiele of our information is, that Great Britain is to pay a million...sterling to Sweden, as a compensation for the lass of Guadalottpe.

Our Pages are so occupied with various infor mation of considerable interest that we have no room for comment on the foreign arrivals. Great exertions are.making to encrease our dis posable force on the other side of the Atlan • t and, on Satnrday,, very peremptory, - orders were issued to: accelerate the sailing, &c. of all the troops, stores, &c. intended for that quarter of the globe. Upon such information'as we have been able to collect, we would suggest that no thing ,advance to Peace with America has yet been made ; and that MADISON'S Speech may therefore be expected to be as. hostile as when his Patron:llu° NAPAaTE was in poWer. We on Saturday noticed the probability of the statement contained in a German Paper that Lord CASTLEREAGH would speedily return to London. This has been talmi up by our Contemporaries, and commented' upon in • various ways. Per haps the .best answer to the surmise. that . his Lordship's departure from Vienna would be e:.:pedited from his foreseeing ,that the Con gress would be of long duration will be found in the account of the proceedingS of that august Assemblage in a preceding column. * We presume (stating our own opinions) that the bases for . the arrangement of Europe will be en tirely and definitely settled before his Lordship quits his post ; and it ought to be recollected, at the same time, that he leaves behind bins the re gular Ambassadors of Great Britain, Noblemen perfectly competent to fulfil the important duties. entrusted to their charge. . We should scarcely have thought it necessary to advert to another topic engrafted upon the expected return of Lord CASTLEREAGH, viz. that a partial change of Miniiters was in agitation ; (especially, as such matters are a species of pe riodical erruption in the Journal in which the present 'itend() has appeared), but that we have heard rumours which - induce us to think that in the event of a certain contingency, which is very unlikely, the repOrt nay not be altogether destitute of foundation.

For some mOnths he has been building a wall, -four leagues in circumference on his estate at Prangin, when one day last week he disappeared at once. It is supposed that a suspicious correspondence, addressed to him, having been seized by the French• custon►-house officers, he has judged it prudent to withdraw, and to leavelliswall unfinished.
