• PARIS, JANUARY 10.
Oor readers recollect the prohibition of the French
Government to Sir Robert Wilson to return to France
with his family. his Ex-English General has resided
for some months l' Brussels, Brussels, and being now desirous
of returning home by way of Calais, to have the ad-
vantage of the steam-boat, he had applied to the Ca-
binet of Palk to obtain permission to pass through the
French territory, and- embark at Calais. This appli-
• cation, though supported, it is said, by an English di-
plomatic character, has been refused. Sir Robert Wil-
son has, therefore, been obliged to proceed with his two
daughters to Ostend, where he waits till the weather k.
fair, to return to London.
The Courier Francais says, that the King of the Ne-
therlands is going to negotiate treaties of, commerce
with the flepublic's of Mexico and Colombia, with
13nenos Ayres, Chili, and Brazil. We believe that there
i is no foundation whatever for this news.

'this forenoon we received Frankfort and other Ger-
man papers to the 27th ult. One of them contain: a
ridiculous story from Stlyholm, stating that his,
MAJisT!•has conferred OD FIT BENJAMIN BLOOMPIELD,
" the dignity of Lord and Peer of Scotland ;' but that
the title would not be determined until an e,tate has
been purchased to annex. to it. The idea of creating a
Peerage without a title, is - absurd enough ; but the
writer seems to be ignoraut, that though a British
Sovereign
Can make a behest Knight,
A Lard, a Duke, and a' that."
Yet, to create a Scotch Peerage,
"Is aisoon his nsigia,
Gude faith he lamina fa that."

PETERSBURGH, JANUARY &
For some years past, says a letter from Orenburg,
there has been a very great decline in the commercr.
carried on upon the Asiatic frontier, because the com-
munications with tht neighbouring provinces of Asia
were much obstructed by the numerous predators
hordes. These inconveniences are now entirely re-
moved by a special order of his Majesty the Emperor,
who has been pleased to command that every Cara-
van to Buchara and China, shall be accompanied by
astrong military escort, provided with the necessary
horse artillery. One Caravan only now goes fr cut
Orenburg every year: two others join it on the way,
so that the whole together consist of 1800 camels.—
Mr. Kaidalow, merchant at Orenburg, is at the head of
the merchants who carry on this trade. There is every
reason to hope that this commerce on the frontier will.
by the unabating care of our beloved Sovereign, re-
cover its former importance.
BERLIN, JANUARY 16.
His Majesty has appointed two very eminent Men to
fill up the vacancies in the Council of State, namely
Baron Niebuhr, formerly Prus.ian Ambassador at flame,
and Privy Counsellor Kurth, who formerly travelled
with M. Von Humboldt.
HANOVER, JANUARY rs.
A Convention has been lately concluded with Bruns'
wick, for the rectification of the frontiers and fixing the
right of sovereignty over certain tracks. The Coln
Lawyers had propapated, for many centuries, territorial
differ ences, as they styled them, between the two branches
of the douse of Brunswick. In the 16th century, an at
tempt was made to put an end to them, and a conven•
tion was actually concluded respecting a considerable
part of this frontier• line; but instead of being carrier'
into execution and completed, it was disputed and
buried in the archives.
Meantime the disputed districts were taken possession
of by vagabonds of all kinds; forests, 10,000 acres in es-
tent, were hewn down by thieves, and convinced into
bare wildernesses; and the districts where the Sove-
reignty was unsettled, were like the Poet's Paradise,
without laws, without taxes, and without soldiers. A
similar confusion of frontiers subsisted with Hildesheim,
which ended, indeed, on the Hanoverian side, by the
union of Hildesheim with the kingdom, but increased
the ancient differences with Brunswick by the newly
acquired frontier of Hildesheim, and added to the 'dif-
ficulty of arranging them. The common interest Of
the Princes, so closely related by the ties of consangui-
nity, and that of their dominion•, made an arrange-
ment highly desirable : the proposal was made by this
Government, and was most willingly acceded to by

Brunswick.
The negociation has been concluded in much
shorter time than might have been expected. It accu.
rater fixes the frontier line, and goes on the principle
that everything within the frontier is subject to the so-
vereignty of the State on whose side of the line it is.
The Convention is already ratified by his Majesty the
King, and sent from hence to the Brunswick Commis-
sioner, M. Von Bulow, with an elegant gold snuff. box,
ornamented with the Royal Cipher and Crown, in dia-
monds. The Hanoverian Plenipotentiary, 'Counsellor
Von Blun, unfortunately died before the business •was
concluded.
STOCKHOLM, JANUARY li. _ _ _

Sir Benjamin Bloomfield, Ambassador from his
Britanaic Majesty to this Court, received the day be-
fore yesterday, by a Courier from his Government, the
agreeable news that the King, his Sovereign, had been
pleaysd to confer on him the dignity of Lord and Peer
of Scotland. His title will be determined when he hat
purchased an estate to be annexed to it.
