'WE received this morning German Papers to the
19th ult. The following are the most imeresting
articles they contain :

CONSTA NTINOPLE, OCT. 15.,—An English Minis-
ter (ADAIR), arrived at the Archipelago, and en-,
deavoured to obtain leave of the Cotntnandant of the
Castles of the Lower Dardanelles to proceed to Con-
stantinople, but, by the order of the Grand Vizier,
the said Commandant gave a negative answer to the
English.

The armistice with. Russia still cohtinues, and
will, to all appearance, continue till next Spring,
when political affairs will probably take a decided
turn:--(Correspondenten.)
BANKS OF THE ELBE, Nov. t B.—The remainder
of the French troops which were in Holstein, con-.
tinue to arrive at Hamburgh, and frOm thence pro;.
teed to Prince, via Hanover, &c.

. The King of Denmark still continues at Schleswig,
and will, it is thought, pass the winter there.
The French troops have not yet evacuated Berlin,
nor other parts of the mark of Brandenburgh.
On the Alt instant the Seventh Dutch Regi-,
nient eiribarled .at Altona for Hamburgh, and,
soon march from thence to Bremen and Holland ;
yesterday it was replaced by the eighth Dutch Re-
giment frotn Lubeck. The garrison of the Hanse
Towns will, it is said, in future, consist entirely of
French Troops, of whoM large detachments pass,
almost daily, through Hamburgh on their return to
France.

The,paragraph under the head of " Constanti-
noplei,' Oa. IS," is said to have been inserted in the
Corre,;pondent of this day,. by the command of the
Fiench authdrities at Hat-abut!). It is said that the
Vienna Court Gazette does not contain a syllable tin
this head. •

We remain without Letters or Papers from Swe-
den, Russia, and Austria, probably owing to .the
badness of the roads. Marshal BERNADOTTE has
lately received a Courier from Paris, since which he
lias been pfeparing for his departure for France. His
health of late has been very inditf2rent, and he has
long complained of a northern climate, and solicited
to be removed to a milder one.. His horses and car-
riages, of which the City of Hamburgh was obliged
to make him a present (besides an enormOus 801
in gold weekly), will be §olcf by public auelion, He
will be sfieceeded in his comntrnd by DAVOUST
(Duke-tif Auerstadt), whose troops will have eyki.
coated the whole of Prussia and Brandenbargh in a
very few days.

script of the Royal Cabinet of the Civil Commis-
