BRUSSELS PAPERS.

VIENNA, J. 15.—The belief is, au amicable
agreement upon the grand affairs before the Con-
greSS continues to prevail. From all sides it is
repeated; that all the parties approximate, and
ti)at the conclusion is at hand. A tew days ago,

a great Prince and Statesman %vas mule to say, 00
the occasion of a ball, that in three days all the
great points would be settled, and in three weeks
the Corgi ess at an end.

All' parties. without: any exception, promise
themselves that the Congress will he, over in a
month. The day before yesterday some circum-
stances led to a •supposition that the Emperor
Alexander was preparing to depart, but we hear
Tiotti chat-he intends first to use the waters here.
It is, however, by no means believed that he
will stay till the affairs of Germany are settled, but
rh,tr go assoon.as the general concerns of
Europe are decided on.
The ;:tEtins of G-Jrmany are indeed under djscus-
siorr, ()tit. till Poland, Saxony, and the left bank
of the Rhine are disposed Of; they are in the back

ground.
• BONN, JAN. 19.—The bead-quarters of the
Saxon ~orp are to be removed on the 21st from
this city w Cologne.
11. mnußun,•JAs.l7.—One of the papers pub-
lished aThran,, that an offensive and defensive- al-
-lirm3e has been concluded between the Ottoman
Porte and One of ttie great European Powers,
.b3h!y France).
VIENNA, J. I=l.—They talk hereof an invita-
tion made by several great Powers to King Joachim
ti legations of BOlogna, Ferrara,
and Ravenna; in • exchange for the Crown of
-Naples, which would be restored to the Bourbons.
it is even said they have -alledged to Joachim the
illit.trions example of the Crown Prince of Swe-
del), who, it is said, has offered to renounce all
his rights in case the restoration of the family
of Gustavus should be judged advantageous to.
Europe.
Sir S. Smith has presented to the Congress a
iletailedpian for the destruction of the Barbary
,States ; he has shewn, in an eloquent Memorial,
full of stron4 arguments, bow disgraceful it is for
the -Christian Powers to tolerate any longer the
rob4cries-and piracies which are. exercised even
upon the ocean. It is affirmed that the views of
,the EafgUsh Admii al arc highly approved of; and
the ndo)cror Ai-ex.ander appears to supp.ort them

litary division, President of the Court-tnartial) the
following letter :
" LISLE, JA:,;; 14.
" The r.v.,asnres tal..ett agMnst Yoe abotit the middlt of last
month, having appeared to toe to be illegal, I thought It al
towable to withdraw from their effects. However, when 1 got
out of the bands of those who had constituted themselves my
keepers it was my duty to engage, and in fact! did engat.;e
luntarily to present myself as soon as the tribunal -formed to
decide upon my conduct should lie known.
" The fulfilment of this'obligation which the necessity of
defending my honour prescribed me, did nut ten give me
any fear, because I was convinced that no criminal act could
be justly imputed to me, and becaase I was too well assured of
the purity of my intentions in all I have said or written`, to fear
the 'consequences under a Prince whose justice I always ad-'
mired.

" Being now actplainted with the Members of the Court--
martial who are to judge of my conduct, hill of confidence in
their justice and enlightened sentiments, I come to declare to
you Count, that. I am ready to appear before them, add that
I entrust to them with the greatest tranquillity my honutar
and my person. Please to accept, &c. •
" Lieut. Gen. Count EXCELMANS."

After the delivery of this letter, Count Excel-
mans surrendered himself prisoner at the citadel
of the town ; it was not till then that the charges.
against him were made known
,to his counsel,
They are laid doWn in the report made to the
King by Marshal Soult, Minister at War, on the
29th of December last. The Minister expresses
himself as follows :

The acts of which Lieut.-General Count
Excelinans has been guilty are of ti nature infi-
nitely serious.
"1.1-Ie has kept up a correspondence with the'enemy without
'a permission in writing from his superiors, while lie' was cip7,
j•loyedin the character of Inspel..tor4;eneral of the cavalry
in. the .first.military division ;' I: say with the enemy, because
your Majesty has not recogil;sed Joachim MUrat.as _King of
.!'caliles; add even if he had written to a Prince who was a
friend orally of your Majesty's, his conauetwauld have been
reprehensible,
" 2. He has committed an act of espionage, by wiiting tvs
Joachim Murat, that ' thousJaids of brave officers,- formed
in his school/and under his eves, would h-see been re l at
his call, if things had not talien such a favourable furit for
him."

" 3. has written things, offensive both to the person
flower of Your MajeAy.
" d. 17:e has disobeyed the orders given him from your Ma-
jesty by the Minister of War.
" 5 Fie ha, violated the oath which he took when he re-
ceived the royal and military Order of St. Louis."—Orac:c,
