nthers of various endowments, whose luenbra rigos agreeably divet : sify the letters of the more regular correspondents. It will, of course, be expected from us to lay before our Readers a specimen of this agreeable Correspondence; but the . Letters are all so na tural and pleasing that we are at a loss how to make any selection, and ►oust resort to the sortes Klopstocfriance for the first three which chance pro duces.—They follow : FROM META MOLLER TO GLEIM. IlainZuefrk, st/i September. I shall always have a gratefni sense of your kindness in sending me KlopStock's portrait*. What was my joy on its arrival I With what raptvre was it welcomed every day—with what caresses cherished every hour ! I must tell you I have contrived to place it in a position to he visible from every part of my chamber ; and, oh ! how often are these eyes turned to that spot ! I will confess I miss in it the looks I have been ac customed to steal . from Klopstock's eyes—that peculiar expression of his countenance which seems for• me alone ; yet still am 1 (all in all) de lighted with the resemblance. I would fain send you a copy of this portrait, but ( ilas, for Hamburgh), I know not a single painter to whom I could confide the task. I shall, however, endeavour to ascertain which is the best of those who are all below mediocrity, for even a bad copy is better than none. Gieseke has re lated to me the history of your late disappoint ►uent, on which forbear to mike any comment, lest I should recall your own painful recollections. '\'et do not imag►ne I • can believe you will suffer the levity of one girl of whoa► you had seer► too little, to have any well-founded assurance of her affection to inspire you with an illiberal distrust tif oltr whole sex. Were it possible to entertain s►ipposition so injurious to your character, I should consider the exception attributed to my self, as a very equivocal compliment ; b►►t I have too much respect for your discernment, and too rn►sch confidence in the goodness of your heart, to admit the suspicion for a single moment. I should rather expect, that experience would lead you to renounce the little arrogant opi►tion, that a girt is to be known and won in one quarter of an hour. I have now so much reason to be satisfied, that I should feel it presumption to ask for any blessing I, do not already pos,sess, and trust I do not breathe a wish that is not tempered by the spirit of resig nation. META NIOLLER. * This portrait, for which Klopstock sat at Zurich, was pnr eh:Q.syd by Kleist, and by him presented to Gleini, who parted from it to afford Meta some consolation during her lover's absence. META MOLLER TO GLEIM. Hamburg /1, 9th March. At length I haVe it in my power to transmit the copy of my Klopstock's portrait. You are well aware, that if I have so long he sitated to perform my engagement, it has been wit;i the hope of discovering a better artist. This expectation has not been gratified, but little as I ant satisfied with the substitute, I can withhold it 'no longer. liven the original portrait but im perfectly conveyed the sweet engaging elr;pression of my Klopstoeles countenance; in this copy he has actually a sullen brow. Remember, my dear Mr. Glein►, you have an undoubted right to re claim your picture companion whenever I have the original friend; and thiS change now appears at no great dista►ice. Never shall I forget your kindness in so long submitting to the privation for my satisfaction, aml scarcely can I forgive ►myself for having so long left you to solitude. Ab= solve me, lylwever, from all intentional neglect, and believe me Your constant friend, And for a short time, META AIOLLER. KLOPSTOCK TO HIS FATHER. Copenhagen, Sth Not , . 175 G. The state of your health, dearest father, of which I was ?esterday apprized by my mother's letter, has filled me with unutterable solicitude. It is, 'however, some consolation to reflect, that the rupture of a blood-vessel is not so alarming at your age, a 3 when it takes place at an earlier pe riod. May God preserve your life—it would pierce tne to the soul to think I should never see you in this world again. I have !Ong, and, indeed, ever felt you were inexpressibly dear to me, my beloved, my honoured father yet I now endea vour to force myself from the thoughts of your danger, and to leave all to God, the supreme dis poser of human events, by whom they are all di rected and superintended in wisdom and in love. I must write no more on this subject, but have entreated Olde * to transmit his opinion on your case. Let me now inform you in what manner I have been lately occupied. lam writing a Tra gedy, called Adam ; but A have also undertaken another Work, which I consider as my second vocation. It is my object to compose a series of Songs for the worship of God, a task which is, in my judgment at least, as arduous as any I could have attempted ; since it is necessary, without departing from the dignity of religion, to conci liate popular feelings, and to keep on a level with the most ordinary capacity. Hitherto it appears to me, that these devotional essays have been blessed with success.-1 hare already composed }►yams for all the Holy PeS c tivals (Christmas ex crptcd) adapteVto tJae metody, Lord God we praise thee.' ilany of our best spiritual Songs I have only altered, some are re-composed. I shall soon transmit to you specimens pf both. KLOPSTOCK. POSTSCRIPT BY META.---The account of your illness, my dearest father, is no less afflictive to me than to your own children, for you arc my ifehrest, best, and now only father. Ah ! 1 suffer doubly—tor myself and my husband. Never have seen Klopstock in such a state as he has been in since the arrival of yesterday's letter. M a y God support you all under your present affliction, suy beloved mother, my sister, my brother. META KLOPSTOC!i.. 01,le, a. celebrated physician, mentioned in the early etterc DtrC.l MAIL. IIAMOVER, OCT. 2-I.—Count Munster, the Ha noverian Minister of State, delivered, on the 12th instant, the following Not'e to the Anstrian Mi nister and to the Ministers of other Powers as- semb!cd at Vienna : " The undersigned State and Cabinet Minister of • Hanover is charged by his august Master to acquaint the Imperial Austrian ,Court with the following Declaration concerning the title which his Royal Highness the Prince Regent of Great Britain and Hanover thinks it necessary to sub stitute for that of Elector of the 'Holy Roman Empire. The Powers who concurred in the Peace of Pari , s. having agreed, by the Gth Article of the said Treaty of Peace, that the States of Germany shOuld remain independent, and joined in a fede ral union,' the title of Electoral Prince of the Holy Roman Empire has ceased to be suitable to present circumstances. " Several of these . principal Powers have, in this point of view, invited his Royal Highness the Prince Regent to renounce that title; and hare given hint to understand, that by taking, instead of it, the title of King, he would facilitate many of the arrangements wuich the future welfare of Germany seemed to require. These considera tions alone have induced his Royal Highness to consent.. The House of Brunswick Luneburg being one of the most illustrious and most ancient in Europe, the Hanoverian branch having filled for more than a century one of the distinguished thrones, its possessions being among the most considerable in Germany ; ill the ancient Elec tors of Germany and the House of Wurtemberg having erected their States into Kingdoms ; and, lastly, as the Prince Regent cannot derogate from the rank which Hanover held before .he subver sion of the German Empire, his Royal Highness has resolved, laying aside in the name of his House the Electoral title, to declare by the present note, which the Undersigned has orders to deliver to his Highness Prince Metternich, that he erects his provinces forming the country of Hanover•into a Kingdom ; and that he shall henceforward as sume, for his Sovereign, tl title of King of Hanover. " The intimate friendship wide!' subsist§ be tween his Royal Highness and the Imperial Court of Austria does not leave in his mind any doubt but that it will receive this declaration with sentiments analogous to this friendship, and will recognise the new title which circumstances have induced his Royal Highness to adopt for his house in Ger many. " The Undersigned is happy to seize this op portunity to repeat to his Highness Prince Met ternich the assurances of his distinguished con, derations. " Vienna, Oct. 12, 1814. (Signed) " Count MUNSTER." VIENNA, OCT. 21.—The lastest accounts relat ing to the Congress state, that the United Nether lands arealso to be erected into a Kingdom, under the title of Kingdom of Belgium. The Elector of Hesse, as before stated, takes the title of Grand Duke. The abolition of this Electorate and that of Hanover, the last that remained bi 'Germany, effaces the last traces of an elective empire': The plan of some statesmen for a German constitu tion, which was founded on the basis of having nine circles and twelve deciding voices of Princes in the supreme jurisdiction of the confederation, is, as we hear, wholly laid aside. People pretend to observe, that the three Bout.- France, Spain, and Sicily, ke e p c l ose l y bon powers, united ; and that the Court of Spain, in particu lar, advances pretensions respecting the affairs of Italy Ivhich arc considered, as highly ex travagant.- LEUZIC, OCT. 21.—Advices have been re ceived here from Dresden, that the General Go vernment of Saxony which has hitherto subsisted is abolished, and that a Provisionai . Prussian Go vernment takes its place. • We expect every mo ment a proclamation (which is already under the press) concerning this change. BRUSSELS, OCT. 29.—1 t is expected that seve ral Prussian corps will soon leave the Lower and Middle Rhine, and return to Prussia. The apprehensions which were caused by the desire of the French army fur war begin to decrease, on account of the moderate measures which the French Government is ob: , erved to pursue. On the 26th, the English Legation at Ghent gave a magnificent entertainment to the American Ministers. It is observed that a very good un derstanding prevails between the Ambassadors ; and in this country, at least, we flatter ourselves with a favourable isine of the negociations. The organization of the corps of gees d'armes is continued with activity. Yesterday the cacti bineers paraded for the first time. Among the Belgians who return from France are observed several chasseurs on horseback, and artillerists of the old Guard, who will be for the most placed - in our national arms . AUGSBURG, OCT. IB.—We hear that the Rui sian Government has caused the ukase of Dec. 31, 1810, prohibiting the importation of all fo reign mant,factures (without distinction) of wool, cotton, and silk, to be rigidly observed. ITALY, OCT. 10.-A fresh English corps is landed at Genoa, which is to be followed by se veral thousand men; 4000 arc already there. The English are fortifying Spezzia. The King of Sardinia intends to increase his army to 40,00►0 men. The army of the King of Nayles is stated at 60,000 men. nom THE :LNIAINE,, OCT. 23.--The language which has been employed, in answer to the attempts .of France to make_ changes in. the geographi cal plan of the 'countries in its nighbonrhood, proved that all proposals of modifications are in vain. To a ploposal in respect to Belgium and the left bank of the Rhine, and to the pretension that, to re-establish the status quo, the descenlants of the Kings and Grand Dukes who did not exist previously to 1792 should return to their ancient situations, the answer is said to have been given, that, " as soon as the Ambassadors of France slimed any other than peaceable sentiments, and attempted to interfere in the relations to be esta blished among their neighbours, their passports were ready for them whenever they chose to apply for them." BERLIN,OCT. `23.—Since the arrival of the last Courier, the speedy occupation of the countries allotted to us seems to be certain. Great prepa rations are making to this etiect, both in the civil. and military departments ; and we expect, in a few days, a Declaration of tile Court o❑ this subject. FRENCH PAPERS. [Further Extracts.] VIENNA, OCT. 19.-L-Several exchanges. of terri tory between Austria and Bavaria are still talked of. Although nothing official has been published on this subject, these rep or t s a pp ear d a ily to gain credit. It is said that the frontiers on the north and west of the latter kingdom will be considera bly e.xtended! The districts of Salzburg, Berch tolsgaden, innvertel, and liausruckvirtel, which have been so long objects of deSire to Austria, will be ceded to her by a separate Treaty, hut which will not be made known, or rAher pub lished, until the indemnit•ies,. which are to fall to Bavaria shall be deti:.itiyely settled. It is sup posed that the •will recover the Palatinate of the Tibiae, which was formerly the. patrimony of his faluilly; and of which the Grand Duke of 1 1 )Aden is now in possession, in conse quence of the arrangements of Buonaparte. This acquisition will be the more valuable to the King of Bavazia, as he will by that means become mas ter .of 'the - corresponding countries on the two banks of the Rhine. It appears certain that the - circumstance which retards the opening of the. Congress is, that.se yeral diplomatic personages are yet expected, and that several Ministers have requested explanations and directions from their Court. We are assured, t'or instance, that the Divan, being at last con vinced of the importance of the Congress, has en treated .the Sultan to send an. Ambassador who shall neither be Greek nor Arnaut, but a Turk by birth and religion distinguished by his knowledge and his rank. Reports are also circulated of an embassy from the United States of America, and even a translation of the Congress of Ghent to Vienna; but this last report appears too impro bable—the English will never submit their discus sions .with America to a third party. On the story respecting the execution at Milan, in the Gazette de France,' the Journal de Debats of the 31st remarks as follows : " We have read with surprise in the Ga:ette de France of yesterday, the pretended letter, dated Milan, the 18th of October. This same letter was brought to us four days ago ; but we thought it our duty to reject it as not authentic, and. merely repeating rumours which had been for ten days in circulative at Paris. " We have before us the Milan papers from the 17th to the 22d of Octoberinclusive ; and not only do we not find there any trace of the news iaa question ; but we read on the contrary, that on the 18th there was a numerously attended and brilliant masked ball at the Theatre de la Scala, in the presence of the Princess of Wales, accompa nied :by Field-'Marhal Bellevile, and that the whole passed off in the most orderly manner.— We have likewise examined the papers of Turin, Genoa, Florence, &c. which contain articles front Milan; but not a syllable in those articles justi fies. the suspicion that any seditious cries were raised in the Theatre de la Scala ; so that we con ellde the reports current at Paris on that subject to be wholly unfounded." An order of his Majesty Ferdinand IV. King of Naples and Sicily, continunicated by the Com mandant of the district of Messina to the Com mandant of the Neapolitan troops in Calabria, purports, that 'Tort no pretext whatever shall any vessel bearing the flag of King Joachim, he admitted into the ports and on the coasts of Sicily. • MANHEIII, OCT. 24.---They write from Cob lentz, that the Saxon Lieutenant-General Lecoq, and Colonel Zerschwitz, have resumed the com mand of the Saxon troops, which have been under their orders since the beginning of the year. A very heavy contribution has been laid by order of the Supreme mixed Commission Oustrian and Bavarian)., established at CreutZnach, upon the inhabitants of the left bank of the Rhine, to de fray the expellee of maintaining the troops station ed in those countries, separated from France by the treaty of Paris. MATIkon, OCT. .17.—The Edict published on the 14th instant, his Majesty's birth-tray, is as fol- lows :- By order of his Excellency the Count de Montezuma, Cori gdor of this city, the public is apprised, that his Ma jesty will be highly pleased to learn, that on his birth-d a y no disavecable event has interrupted the joy of its hcroic inha bitaats. His Majesty, desirous of being in their company as much as possible, to celebrate this happy day, has resolved, to attend in person the Theatre de la Cruz. This new proof of the love of the Monarch to his subjects should induce the persons who will be present at the play, to appear with the decency which the august presence of his ..lajesty requires." The play, which has been expressly given out, it intitled " Giles with the Green Breeches." The in , manager has not se l ecte d t h e gravest piece the catalogue. The Council of the Mesta is re-invested with its former functions., The flocks of merinos may henceforth traverse all. Spain, as formerly, not withstanding the eloquent Memoir of Jovellanos, and the ;-irgy.l.lelitS of all our modern economists. When we shall have again obtained abundance of wool, we shall have but - one thing more to wish for, that is, competitors to key it up ; for if we 41(1414 the Lriglish only, it is probable that w in it. receive the law from them i'' stead shall he I rsJAURIU OCT.
