PARIS, OCT. 15.—The following conjectures
relative to the Congress are now ill circulation in
Germany :

Poland to recover most of her provinces, and
the title of Kingdom : Saxony to be dismembered-,
if she retain the title of Kingdom, it will be
with great diminution of territory : Prussia and Ba-
varia to occupy the left bank of the Rhiiie : the
Duchies of Juliers and Berg to 'be incorporated
with Prussia : Brabant to be definitively united to
Holland : Germany again 'to become an Enipire;
but the Circles will have Provincial Assemblies,
and there will be States-General, under the name
of a Diet : the Queieh will be the frontier between
France and Germany: the fortress of Meritz will
be ceded to the King of Bavaria ; fortresses will
be erected on the other side of the Rhine, to op-
pose to those of France : some Articles. in the
l'reaty of Paris will be explained : the'iroops of
the Germanic BOdy will be placed on an uniform
footing.

BRUSSELS PAPERS.

BRUSSELS, OCT. 15.—Though the Vienna Ga-
zettes as late as the 4th, do not mention the open-
ing of the Congress, private letters affirm, that it
would be opened on the 4th. It is pretended that
the affairs of Germany will be settled separately
• from those, of Europe in general, and that the
former will be discussed before the others are
touched upon. The forms to' be observed in :he
discussion, the resolutions, &c. are fully agreed
-.norm It is also said, that none but the Ministers
of six Sovereigns will be admitted to the sittings.
SWITZERLAND, OCT. 2:—.For some weeks past
soisie attention has beeu excited by wit anair which
has become the subject of a correspondence be-
tween the Governments of Berne and Basle ; in
:Consequence of which, depositions and reports
have been taken from several principal citizens of
Basle, of which numerous copies are in circula-
tion, I.: nd make a great noise. The subject is the
following :—The Government of Berne Irrote to
that of Basle, that it had been credibly.informed,
that " the English General W. who lately passed
through Basle, had declared in the presence of se-
veral principal citizens of Basle who were named,
that the passage of the Allies through Switzer-
land had cost England one hundred thousand
pormtli, which he gave to understand had been
paid to persons at Berne, commataders of troops,
&c. to let the Allies pass without opposition.",—
As the honour of Berne required the truth to
be found out, either to do away the charge, or
to punish the guilty, they Wished those persons
to be examined who were said to have, heard these
expressions. These Persons at first refused to
give what they called odious information ; but
said, that if' they were again applied to, they
thou ;,ht themselves entitled to be informed from
whom these credible accounts came. This, was
Clone, and the Government' of Berne named the
person, who is invested with a public character,
who had sent 'the information to two of the Chief
Magistrates of Berne. Hereupon circumstantial
declarations followed, which 'were sent to Berne.
(Here follows a long report from a respectable
Magistrate at Basle, confirming the statement that
General W. had spoken to him to the above ef-
feet, and that his Aide-de-Camp, Ch--, had
afterwards repeated the same assertion, saying be
could name the persons at Berne who had been
bribed if he dared.---7(Universal Gazette, Oct. 7)
NUREMBERG, OCT. 6.—lf we may judge by
4everal reports, the Congress at Vienna will finally
determine the future residence of Napoleon Buo-
naparte. At Paris it is believed to he quite cer-
tain, that Buonaparte will be removed after the
Congress ; the Duke of Berry, it is said, obtain-
ed this on his last visit to England, and it seems
absolutely necessary for the future security of the
repose of Europe ; several places,' it is .said, have
been proposed for h:s residence, among others the
island of St. Lucie.
DussELDORF, OCT. 3.—A society of Germans,
" both men and women, has formed itself, to pre-
pare peaceful and agreeable retreats for the war-
riors returned from the holy contest, who, from
wounds, sickness, weakness, or age, are incapa-
ble of procuring a livelihood. Their generous
purpose is to have these retreats in the neighbour-
hood of strengthening mineral waters, and to give
the superintendance of the different establish-
ments to old OfliderS, whom these veterans will
honour at once as worthy companions and kind
fathers A generous friend of humanity has al-
ready made a present to the society of a•number of
fine buildings with large gardens, where there is
room for 700 veterans. The German Princes,
who are anitedfor the great purpose of giving to
the German nation a constitution that shall pro-
mote and confirm public spirit, have been applied
to for their support, and the interest hitherto tes-
tified in so cordial and active a manner for our
wounded warriors, entitles us 'to entertain the
most flattering expectations of the success of such
a laudable undertaking.
Those who circulate the absurd Paris report,
-that France will offer fifty millions to recover the
left bank of the Rhine, probably consider the Con-
gress as a market where Principalities may be
bought for money, ass was formerly the caseast
Ratisbon ; but the principles that prevailed then
are no more valid. At that time France com-
manded—now the Congress will decide with re-
gard to its conquests, and in such a manner as it
shall judge best for the good of Germany. Mo-
ney- and bribery will avail nothing ; for time
Powers of Europe know that Germany is the bul-
wark of the more remote States; and that if it be
not firmly organised iu every way possible, and
well secured in its ancient and now recovered
frontiers, all the other Powers will be as much
exposed to sudden attacks as when the left bank
of the Rhine was in the hands of France. But
who can believe for a moment, that France Will
ever get those provinces back ? What would PrUS-
Sja Englamd, and Holland say, if a word to that
effect should be uttered at the Congress ? These
are only the vain speculations of French news-
mongers, which clearly s-WCW how deeply they are.
mortified at basing lost the Rhine as their iron-
tier.—(Cortespondfnt of andfar Germany, 711 i and-
