Some delay is likely to take place in the British
mission to the Congress, in consequence of the indis-
position of the Duke of WELLINGTON. His Grace,
we are sorry to learn, was so ill as to be confined to
his bed on Tuesday and Wednesday. On Thursday,
however, he got up, and it is understood that he was
considerably better yesterday.
It is, however, rumoured that the temporary indis-
position of his Grace is not the only reason of his not
leaving town ; but that he feels some reluctance in
undertaking an ungracious office, for such his mission
is considered.
Nothing has yet transpired officially as to the new
arrangements in the Ministry. The friends of Mr.
CANNING still entertain hopes of his having a dis-
tinguished situation at home, which it is well known
would be more congenial to his views than that of
being Viceroy of Hindostan.

The French Papers of Wednesday have been re-
ceived. The Constitutionnel insTrts an article from
Frankfort, which contains the following speculations
on the conduct of the approaching Congress:
" Much is said here respecting the approaching Congress, and
attempts are made to calculate the probable results. The sys-
tem of the Austrian Cabinet is known, and it is naturally ex-
pected that the influence of Ultra principles will still prevail in
the diplomatic meetings at Vienna and Verona. It is to be
presumed that efforts will be redoubled—that the present
system will be maintained at all hazards—and that the war in
Europe, and particularly in the East, will be avoided. To
strengthen everything old, and to weaken everything new, is, in
a few words, the ministerial policy which does animate, and will
animate, the diplomatists to whom the greatest influence in Elk-
lope is attributed.
" The affairs of Spain and Portugal cannot fail to embarrass
in some measure mach views. Had the events of the 7th of July
at Madrid taken a different turn, less difficulty would have been
experienced. On this subject opinions are said to be divided.
Some would have the same course adopted towards Spain as was
followed two years ago with respect to Naples and Piedmont;
but others are not inclined to have recourse to such measures,
which it is generally thought would experience much opposition
from England. It is added, that several members of the Cabinet
of St. James's are of opinion that none except measures purely
diplomatic ought to be resorted to with respect to the Peninsula.
" With respect to Turkey, a Minister of great influence has
called it a great marsh inhabited by savages; this is the expres-
sion which he employed in a letter to one of his confidants on
the Banks of the Rhine. The same Minister admits that it is
much to be desired that European civilizadon should obtain this
conquest, but that Russia is already so great and so close to the
scene of action, how is it possible, without danger, to furnish
such temptation, when it is known that the policy of the Cabinet
of St. Petersburgh has constantly been directed to this object,
long before the Emperor Alexander ascended the Throne?
" It is, therefore, probable that the Greeks will be abandoned
to their own means—at least ostensibly. if they succeed, there
will always be an opportunity for introducing Greece into the
general system of Europe. This course will, besides, have the
advantage of depriving a great Northern Power of the influence
which she possesses in Germany, and which she will inevitably
lose, when it shall be seen that she abandons the religious cause of
`sAhe Greeks, and leaves them to the resources of their own courage.
" The death of the Marquis of Londonderry does not appose
to hare occasioned any modifications in the great objects which
are to be brought under discussion. It is not wished to hive
the appearance of giving him so much personal importance, and
appears to be determined—
" t. To declare firmly and openly against Revolutions of

every kind.
" 2. To intrust the guarantee of Italy and Germany to Austria.
" To agree to a secret Article relative to Spain.
" 4. To renew the guarantees given to the ether States of

Europe.
•. 5. To declare a neutrality, at least ostensibly, with respect
to the affairs of Turkey.
.4 6. To invite the different Powers to abstain from open war
with Spain.
7. To agree to repressive and general measures with respect
to the Press.
" Such are the ideas which generally circalste in Germany
relative to the new Congress; but reflecting men entertain some
apprehensions of the result. They are aware that there are in
events and things an influence and a force which may defeat all
the resources of diplomacy, and all the efforts of power."
