There is a very odd rumour in circulation in this
capital, about the arrival of a personage, who, it is
suppie.ed, has been sent by the Congress at Aix-la-
Chapelle with some commission to King Ferdi-

conjectures about the subject of this strange inirs.

amounts, it is said, to tin, besides several others who
are accused of rgreeing to camp/erste with them.
