GERMAN PAPERS.

VIENNA. NOVESIBF.II S.

It is said that the conferences between the Alitii.-
tees of the several States of Germany, will be
opened on the 1711 inst. All that the public
prints have announced of a Congress of Sovereigns
to be held here at the same time, of the arrival of
the Emperor Alexander, of the King of l'rusi.ia,
and oilier Monarch., were mere fables, as it may be
positively spit-Tull that in the approaclinig mini'te-
rial
conferences, nothing will be treated of but the
affairs of Germany, and strictly confined within the
limits laid down by the Diet, in its Sitting of the
40th September. Itt the letters addressed by our
Chancery to the different Courts, to invite them to
send deputies to the. Congress, a desire is expressed
that persons may oat he chosen who are already
Miiii.ters iss the German Diet, in order that in case
the Congress should hr of longer liberation than
the time fixed fur the vacation of the Diet, the re-
sumption of its labours may not experience any
interruption.

If any Government should appoint its Minister at
the Diet to go to the new Congress, he ir, before be
leaves Frankfort, to commission another Minister to
vote during his absence, in the name of his Court.
It has been judged necessary to take serious
measures against the banditti, whose number has
greatly increased of late,. ■nd who endanger the
public safety. Detachments of troops of the line
have been sent against them, but at their approach
they have retreated into the defiles of the Carpathian
mountains, whither it is very difficult to follow
them. Bands of robbers also infest Hungary, but
they are pursued, and we may be assured that they
will soon be destroyed.

It is well known that the British Ambassador it

years negociation, bap concluded a treaty with the
Ottoman Cabinet, by which the town and fortress
of Paige, with its dependencies, retuititi under the
dominion of the Porte, which, in return, recog-

under the protection of Great Britain. After reca-
pitulating what is relative to Parga, which has been
fur some time under the protection of England, the
act of ratification says,." As the Isles of Corfu, Ce-
phalonia, Zaute, St. Mauro, Ithaca, and Ctrigo,
known by the name of the Seven United Islands,
