Generals, together with the Russian Ambassador,
prince WILLIAM of FRUSSIAs and several other per.
sons of rank. The whole set out from Frankfort
early on
urth the morning of the 26th, and were to reach
Erf on the following day. The Emperor .A,Le.x-
ow, preceded by the Archduke CONSTANTINV
paned through Leipsic on the 25th, for the same
place ; and the projected meeting would, in all pro-
bability, be held about the close of the month. The
Foreign Journals arc silent with respect to the imme-
diate object of this meeting ; but private accounts
positively state it to be " a partition of the whole of
the Eastern part of Europe, of which Austria will be
offered a considerable portion." The Emperor FRAN-
CIS, however, we are assured, has declined aU partici.
pation in this project of spoliation ; and it is even
wired, that should an attempt be made to carry it
into execution, he will make common cause with
the
Orrommt Porte. It is added, that the plan thefGrand Conspirators is most deeply laid, and that its
first effects will be visible in Asiatic Turkey, where a
formidable revolutionary movement has long been or-
ganised in concert with the Court of Persia. In the
snean timesaPoixoN appears to continue the exercise
of his baleful influence over the Ottoman Councils,
and to have induced the new Government to adopt
the rigorous system he has so geenerally prescribed,
relative to the exclusion of British commerce from their

ports.
The intelligence from Bayonne given in these pa-
pers is important. It is evident, from the obscure
manner in which the expedition against Bilboa is al-
luded to, that an account of the recapture of that
place had reached Bayonne. The enemy endeavours
to disguise the fact, by a suggestion that the move-
ment against that town was only intended as a diver.
sion ; and they talk of Marshal BESSIERES having
marched at the head of a division to cut off the Spa-
nish detached force. The truth, we believe, is, that
the French General marched not to cut off the Spa-
niards at Bilboa, but to avoid being turned by the
right flank in his position on the Ebro, the conse-
quence of which would be, at least, the temporary
interruption of his communication with France.—
Instead of realizing the threat of NAPOLEON " that,
by the end of the year, there will not be a single
village in insurrection throughout Spain," the enemy
are content, it appears, if they can maintain their
strong positions, where they say, " if the Spaniards
venture to attack them, their temerity will cer-
tainly receive a severe chastisement." So, instead
of carrying fire and sword into every corner of Spain,
for that is NAPOLEON'S mode of putting down insur-
rection, King JOSEPH, it would seem, has made up his
mind to continue in a state of siege all the winter.
Notwithstanding all that has been said in the Con-
tinental Papers about the forced marches of thou-
sands of men towards Spain, it does not appear that
any reinforcements of consequence had arrived by the
way of Bayonne. Mention is made of some troops
who were encamped on the glacis of that town having
set out for Spain on the 23d ult. but their number not
being stated, it may be inferred that it is not consi-
derable.
The movements of the French armies are almost
the only articles of intelligence from Germany. They
are concentrating themselves daily, and it is obvious
front the positions they either have taken, or are about
to occupy, that the chief purpose for which they are
put in motion is to intimidate or attack Austria.
The Emperor ALEXANDER we find, on his passage
through Koningsberg, condescended to take notice
of his Prussian Majesty, the unfortunate and aban-
doned FREDERICK WILLIAM. He is said to have em-
braced him—and so he also did once before at the
tomb of the Great FREDERICK ! SO also did NAPOLEON
I with FERDINAND VII. half an hour before he sent him
a command to resign his Crown !

Yesterday the Cabinet Ministers dined with the
Duke of PORTLAND.

The GLEANER sloop of war, bound from Lisbon to
Isle Rile, with an Aid-de-Camp of JUNOT, on board,
and three chests of valuables, supposed to be plunder,
has been detained and sent back by one of the British
truizers in the Bay of Biscay ; probably for the pur-
pose of being overhauled a-new.
We understand that Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY will
leave town in a few days for Ireland, to return to his
ministerial functions in that country; and that after
having arranged the business of his office, he will pro-
ceed to Spain in his military capacity.
Upon the death of the learned and lamented Pro-
fessor PORSON, three Gentlemen, namely, Mr. MONK,
and Mr. DOBREE, fellows of Trinity College, and Mr.
KAYE, Fellow of Christ's College, presented them-
selves as Candidates for the vacant Greek Professor-
fillip in the University of Cambridge. But Messrs.
KAYE and DOBREE having since withdrawn their
names, Mr. MONK remains without competitor.

The military hospital at Sheerness is removed to a
ship in the harbour, where it is supposed the soldiers
will be sent in future, as they require medical aid.

Yesterday the St. Andrew's and St. George's Re-
giment of Volunteer Infantry; commanded by Lieu-
tenant Colonel READER, were inspected by Colonel
JENKINSON in Hyde Park.
Mr. GARDEN of Troup, with the gratuitous asssis-
tance of one hundred and thirty-seven Highlanders,
has erected a rustic monument on the top of one of
the highest mountains, near his shooting quarter of
Garden Shiel, in the County of Aberdeen, to the me-
mory of Mr. Fox.
The grand combat between Gregson and Crib, will
take place on Tuesday se'nnight. The former is in
training at the Isle of Wight, and Crib is in the vici-
nity of Croydon. Bets are even on the event, and the
pugilists are iu sine condition.
