GERMAN PAPERS.

VIENNA, DEC. 4.—lt is now quite decided that
the conferences of Troppan, which, as the public
has already been informed, are adjourned for three
weeks, are to be continued here: we therefore
expect this week the Ministers of France, Russia,
and Prussia. back from Troppau. The Prussian
Chancellor of State. Prince Hardenberg, and the
Russian Secretary of State, Capo d'lstria, are like•
wise expected. Their Majesties the Emperor and
Empress, as well as the Emperor of Russia, will
arrive here about the 12th. It is not known whe-
ther the Emperor Alexander will make any stay
here. It is said rhat the answer from Naples to the
proposals last made wilt decide on the opening of
the conferences, The two couriers who were de-
spatched en the 12th November from 'f roppau, for
Naples. and wore antionbeediy the bearers of those
proposals, ma be expected about the 12th or 13th
of this month,
The latereport that Count Bellegarde was going
to Milan, es civil, end military Governor is not con-
firmed. Though the Emperors have proposed to
King Feolinand to come to Laybach in persn, and
have offered in that case to meet him there, it is not
supposed that. that Sovereign, at his advanced age,
will undertake so lung a journey at such a season of
the year. The conferences will therefore be carried
on by she ministers of the five greet Powers, and a
Pleeipotentiary of the King of Naples.

declaration, that "in future no claim of this nature
shell be ettended to• unless it is first sent to England
by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge as
Colonel of the late German Legion, and an answer
is returned from thence, that the claims of the
applicants shall be inquired into." The men who
have lately been to England would have been ex-
posed to the greatest misery, had not the British
government provided for their support in England,
and given them a free pelage home.
CONITANTINOPLE, N OV. 12.—The reception given
to Mr. Frere, at his first audience, was more flat-
tering than that ever given before to a minister of
the second rank, and has seldom been equalled in
the attentions shown to an ambassador of the tine
cies'. After he tied delivered his address, the Grand
Seignor himself spoke, and directed the Vizier what
to answer. His Highness commonly communicates
Otis command by a nod of the head only. Mr.
Frere owes the distinction with which he has been
treated, both to the friendly disposition of the Porte
towards his government. and to his own firmness,
mimed with prudent concession. Lord Strangford
is soon expected here as English embassador.

CHARACTER OF T. JIOORE, ESQ. AS 4 POET.'

[From the" lblisman.l
However the lame of Mr. Moore may be estimated by
posterity, he stands among his contemporaries distinct and
peculiar. There is little iu his beauties or his faults like
theirs—be seems to have created a poetic language for him-
self. There is indeed, a higher species of poetry than that
which he pursues; bin he advances this convincing of orr,o-
aal genius—u style which attracts every body—which none
have exactly anticipated, and few can follow.
With the spirit of puetty In its primitive character, this
style has Co sympathy, nor dues it aspire to the later excel-
lence of classielii correctness. It is nut the laiiguime of
'wore, of sincere i motion, or of thoughts Outings beautilul,
simple, or grand. But it unites qualities not often ieconciled,
highly artificial and folio( auiwutwu, ingeniously contriv...„

csful sadness, or breathes the t 111140111146411 of a gallant
devotion.

lody of his veraficatiou, are great and popuiar Tory
are attractions which ail can understand and value. There
