FRENCH PAPERS.

[RECEIVED THIS MORNING.]

VIENNA, Nov. 21,r.-We are assured that there
are already twelve fundamental articles agreed
upon relative to the Constitution of Ger Many,
but what are they precisely 1 that is the question.
The Russian Major-General Baron de Tuyll is
arrived here from Naples:
NUREMBERG, Nov,2s.—Mi theacconnts which
;,rive from Saxony agree in stating that the new.
Prussian Authorities act with the greatest wis-
dom, and remarkable circumspection. All the
Saxons who were actively employed remain in
their situations. They pretend that the King,
who still resides at the Castle of Fredericksfitlil,
near Berlin, has received very satisfactory letters
from his brother, Prince Anthony. This Prince
is brother-in-law to the Emperor of Austria, and
enjoys high consideration at Scoenbrunn, where lie
is With the Allied 11fonarchs, charged with the
interests of his family.
The Saxons continue to send addresses to Vienna
to reclaim their King L-many of them are very
energetic. Prince Maximilian, the youngest bro-
ther of the King of Saxony, and the Princess his
wife, continue to reside at Prague.
Pants, DEC. I.—Recent letters from Guada-
loupe and Martinique, state, that the troops had
disembarked and taken possession of the military

posts and establishments. These two islands are
in the best state, and animated with the best dis-
position. They were daily expecting the remain-
der of the expedition, with the Governors Va-
jeraud and Linois.
General Baron Vincent, Minister Plenipoten•
tiary of his Apostolic Majesty, has had his first au-
dience of the King, when he presented to his Ma-
jesty his letters of credence.
The King, who does good by stealth, has or-

tiered that there should be distributed monthly out

of the funds of the Civil List the sum of 180,000
francs to those of his faithful subjects who did not

abandon him, and whom the misfortunes of tha
Revolution have left without fortune.

Prince Christian of Denmark arrived at Copen-
hagen the 13th November—he dined the sameday
with the Queen.
WARSAW, Nov. s.—Our Journal states the fol-
lowing :—" When the Emperor Alexander passed
through the city of Liaranowo, his Majesty said to

Prince Sahlonowsky, Prefect of the Departtnent
of Lubelsk, I can assure you, that your hopes
taill not be disappointed-.-your happiness will be

my reward.'

BERLIN. Nov. 19.---The King has founded do-,
tations in favour of Princes Hardenberg and
Blucher, to sustain the new rank to which he has
raised them. The dotation of the Chancellor of
State consists of the ci-devant Seignory of Leitzcn
and the Bailliage of Suilitz. The dotation of
Prince Blucher is composed of considerable pro-
perty of the Abbey of Tribnitz, in the Principality
of Oels in Silesia.

FRONTIERS OF AUSTRIA, Nov. 21.—The Em-
peror of Russia and King of Prussia have bad for
ten days daily conferences on the state of the affairs
of Europe. We are assured that these two Monarchs
are very ready to make some sacrifices to advance
the work of the re-establishment of tranquillity in
Europe. It is even said that Prussia will consent to
renounce Saxony, if indemnified elsewhere for- the
enormous expellees of the war which she has sus-
tained, her sacrifices since 160 G, and, above all,
for the loss of the Difehy of Warsaw, which was
taken from her by the Treaty of Tilsit, and can-
not be recovered.—On the other hand it is, said,
that some Powers have proposed to give to Prus-
sia all that part of Poland situated on this side
of the Vistula, on condition that she will
renounce Saxony ; but it does not appear that
this proposition can be reconciled with the
pla❑ of the Emperor Alexander relative to the
re-establishment of the kingdom of Poland under
a Russian Viceroy. It is further said, that cer-
tain Powers have declared that -they earnestly ile-
tire the re-establishment of Poland, but under a
Polish or a German Prince. The want of agree-
meat on the subject of Saxony and Poland, is the
cause of the Congress not hiving been solemnly
opened, though the verification of the powers of
all the Negociators has been finished sonic days.
The rleparture of the Allied Monarchs for Styria
and Trieste has been deferred on account of the
importance of these negotiations.

A rumour prevails at Vienna, for the authenti-
city of
which we do not vouch, that the French
i‘larshals and Generals, upon whom considerable
dotations had been conferred, as private property,
and of which they have been put in possession,
have sent a Deputy to Vienna to claim from the
Congress the restitution wf those estates, which
have been confiscated since the retreat of the
French Army from Germany.
libv.lauxcni„ Nov. 12.—Our Counsel, of Sixty

Lave rejected the new propositions which the Se-
nate has made in favour of those who profess the
Jewish religion. On the other hand, the repre-
sentatives of the reformed Communion have re-
fused to accept the privileges which the Senate
and Committee of Burgesses had granted them,
od account of the restrictions %vial which they had
ever been accompanied.

TWO DUTCH MAILS.

BRUSSELS, Nov. 26.—Colonel Mellighan, Se-
cretary of Mr. Bayard, arrived on the 23d at
Ghent, with dispatches of very great importance;
he came from London. On the 24th, in the even-
ing, the American Ministers received another
courier with the long expected instructions by
the Fingal, containing the answer to the dis-
patches carried to America by Mr. Dallas. On
the other hand,' an English Messenger cotniog
from London arrived at Ghent the night before
last, who had orders to. travel with all possible
speed. Since these dispatches have been received,
the Negotiations on both sides are observed to be
extremely busy. We think we may affirm %vitt'
good reason, that the Negotiations will soon
assume a more decisive character, anti that an
agreement on the basis of peace, or the continua-
tion of the war, will be the result. It seems, how-
ever, as if the American Government has made
pretensions that do not accord with the demands
of Great Britain ; they require the cyncession of
maritime rights, which do not accord with the
views of Great Britain. These are the reports in
the best intoned circles at Ghent.
BRUSSELS, 'NOV. 28.-The latest accounts from
Ghent state, that the English and American Mi-.
niters are so much employed that they receive
nobody. The day before yesterday the Americans
sent a note to the English Legatiou, who dis-
patched a courier to London the same e‘ening.—
Though nothing in general can be known con-
cerning the difficulties which exist between the
Negotiators, it is the first time since their resi-
dence at Ghent, that we hear, trout good audio-
pity, that it seems as if the course of affairs gives
no hopes of the conclusion of a speedy peace be-
tween great Britain and the United States.—
(Haarlem Courant, 29 Nov, 1 Dec)
BRUSSELS, Nov. 28.—Yesterday an important
ceremony took place at Mons, viz. the opening of
the Canal from that place to Conde. This bene-
fit is due to the Prince Sovereign.
The accounts from the French frontiers state,
that all the Officers who were absent on fur-
loughs have received orders to join their corps,.
and that the subalterns and privates are also re-
called. Inspectors-General of the Artillery and
Engineers are examining the fortresses of the
first and second lines, and noting the contents of
the arsenals and magazines. These measures do
not fail to excite some surprise, both on account
of the well-known peaceable inclinations of the
French Government, and the great interest which
the Government has in maintaining peace.

It seems that France is not much satisfied at the
little influence which she has at the Congress, and
that she assumes a more commanding altitude in
order to throw more weight into the scale.—On
the other hand, we learn that a very active nego-
ciatio❑ is carrying on between London and Paris.

Nov. 30.—The accounts from the French fron-
tiers confirm the statement of the military mea-
sures that are pursuing on the whole line from
Dunkirk to Strasburg. They are very busy in
the Arsenals, and the Garrisons are augMenting.
It is even affirmed that orders have been given to
palisade the fortresses on the French line, and
that a corps of French troops will march thither
to be cantoned between them ; but these reports
are not at present authenticated. It is affirmed
that France intends to assume a formidable ap-
pearance, in order, if possible, to obtain at the
Congress the fortress of Luxemburg and a part of
the Ardennes. Such is the prevailing opinion at
Paris and even at Vienna ; but, on the other hand,
it is firmly believed that these endeavours will be
of no avail—(ll-czar/on Cour. Dec. 1 and 3.)
VIENNA, Nov. 18.—The Note presented by,
M. Noailles has given occasion for a very re-
markable answer. It is affirmed that several
plans of aggrandisement are deferred. To judge
by the sudden falling of our course of exchange,
one would believe that the Congress is not well
agreed on some points --(Hague Courant, Dec, 2.)

HAGUE, Nov. 28.—Their Iloyal Highnesses
the Prince Sovereign and his Consort are returned
to this place.---This is again a festival to us.
Discharges of artillery announced this morning
the birth-day of her Serene Highness the Prin-
cess Dowager of Brunswick, which she now again
celebrates in her native country, for the first time
these 20 years.

CARLSRITHE, Nov. 22.—The Turkish courier,

We have heard a strange whisper, connected
with Yankee machinations and the West of Ire-
land. %Ve admonish Traitors, if such exist, to
beware, for the vigilant eye of Government has
been directed towards them.

French Papers to the 3d, Hamburgh to the
26th ult. and Dutch to the Ist inst. again fill our
columns with an endless variety of conjectures on
the important subject of the balance of Europe,
