iire have received German Papers of recent
dates. The Nierrnikerg (*arrest:indent communi-
cates a rumour which seems to lust. prevailed in
parts of Gents:my, that the Emperor of Ruui*
had nt the Congress of A is-i3-Chaptlle proposed
to resign the kingdom of Poland in fasour of his
brother, the (=rood Duke CONSTANTINE, pro-
vided lie received au indemnity for himself in the
South, and that this offer Orin.' fenced a firm °pper
sition on the part of France. It was to be expect-
ed that the late Meeting of the Allied Sovereigns
and their Ministers would give occasion to many
rumour awl speculations concerning the designs
and intentions of the greater Powers of Europe, the
greater part of which were likely to be the prodUce
of inventive finny ; but political rumour, even
though ulifounded, are not always undeserving of
public attention, for in pini:nriloti to their circuls.

A LEX A N DMA. OCTOBER 22.

There seems something mysterious in the fut.
(s,apt The /Many Atgiia), that the attempts o! trot
Ministers to form a commercial treaty with the
Netherlands and pith France, have both failed.
Does this result from the Holy Albailee, or is
it the effect of British influence ? We cannot belie% r
that shy new principle was sought to be interpolated
on our part. We perceive that Mr. GALLATIN has
repaired to London with a view of attempting to
form a commercial treaty with England. The re-
sult may indicate something of the temper of Great
Britain towards this country.
