of a Danish vessel, last from that place, which ar-
rived at Plymouth on Friday, states, that on the

A report has been very strongly circulated on the
Continent, that the Kingdom or Poland is to Ile re-
stored, and that the Emperor of 1466'44 Brother
is to be the new King. It is by no means intpro-
,
bably that Boma,' A nes should make a proposition
of that kind to the EMperor of Russia, because it
would tend to weaken both Austria and Prussia,
who must, of course, give up the portions of l'oland
which they at present possess, and consequently
place them more immediately under the coniroul of
France. It is certain, however, that Bos AAAAAA
has yet more cOncessiqns to extort from Austria, for
the French troops continue to advance on all sides
