VIENNA, NOVEMBER 27.

For some time past the conversation in all political
circles, has run on a note transmitted by Lord Cas-
tlPreagh to the Count de Nesselrode.—Every one was
desirous of knowing its contents. We have learned
this day, ttat it relates to the affairs of Poland, and
that it has been communicated to all the Ministers of
the Great Powers. It k true that all the 'details of
this communication have not transpired ; but it cot:-
tains serious complaints upon the delays created by
Russia against deciding the fate of Poland.
Russia, it is said, was at first desirous of reuniting
all Poland to its dominion. Its Sovereign v:.ts desirous
of being indemnified for the losses he had sustained ;
the expenses of a foreign war, and the destruction of
the capital of his empire. This proposal was not
listened to. He afterwards proposed to reunite the
Polish provinces, and form them into a kingdom, to
be governed by its own laws;) but which should
submit to the sovereignty of the Russian Empire.—
The second proposal was not better received than the
first. It is believed by many, that Russia, will be
unable to obtain the Vistula as a boundary ; and they
go so far as to say, that its Plenipotentiaries have de-
clared, that under this supposition, its Government
will be itself obliged to shut the Sound, and to inter-
cept all communication with the Baltic.
Prince Talley rand, proceeding in the system of mo-
deration and equilibrium that France has adopted,
and supported by the English Minister, has recalled
to recollection that it was the preponderance of Na-
polean against which Europe armed. It is this decla-
ration, and these discussions, which have made many
people imagine that the affairs of Saxony would take
another turn.

Orders have been given to reinforce considerably
the Austrian troops in Gallicia ; these reinforcements
..re to amount to ten regiments.

MADRID, NOVEMBER 25.

The arrests have begun again as fresh as ever. Last
night and the night before, a great number of citi-
zens of the most distinguished class were conveyed to
prison ; amOng them are mentioned the Count de la
Cimera, formerly Directrm-General of the Rents ; M.
Garcia, Director of .the Philippine Company; Iran-
diola, Ex-Deputy of the Cortex ; the husband of the
Marchioness d'Alcaniz, a Grandee of the first class ;
the Counsellor of State Romanillos, formerly a crea-
ture and inseparable friend of the Minister of State
Cevallos ; a Chief of Division of the Ministry, Scc &c.
Well informed persons assure us, that an order fors
the apprehension of Cevallos himself, was issued the
very day before he was appointed Minister. The vic-
tory remained with his party, but the issue of the con-
test was long doubtful.
We announce with pleasure the liberation of Gene.
ral Alava, owing to the high protection of his friends,
the diligence of a courier, and the interest manifested
in his behalf by his countrymen of Biscay. It is said
that this province was on the point of sending a de-
putation to his Majesty on this subject.
Amidst acts of severity which strike persons of all
opinions, the King retains great popularity : he grants
even to the lowest classes easy access to his royal per-
son, and the people are never tired of extolling the
virtues of their Sovereign.

Since our last we have received Paris papers of the
7th and Bth inst. the principal contents of which are
extracts from German papers and private letters from
Vienna relative to the matters under discussion, re-
specting future political arrangements.
It is stated that Lord CASTLEREAGH has strongly
remonstrated against the proposed, annexation of Po-
land to the Russian empire, either as a province or
a kingdom. France also sueinuously opposes such

an arrangement. Nothing however is yet definitively
settled respecting either Po'anal or Saxony.
.The question respecting Naples also remains un-
decided. In our opinion, too great attention cannot
be paid to the affairs of Italy. If it is desirable that
large Empires should be formed by the junction of
little States, in no part of Europe does this seem to
be so imperiously required by the present circum-
stances of Europe, and by the dictates of sound policy,
as in Italy. To us it appears just as impolitic that
Austria and France should be allowed to extend their
influence in the South, as Russia in the North of Eu-
rope. Give independence to Italy, and you will
give a real blessing to Europe.
The Italians, though so much depressed that the
F•ublic of other countries hear but little of them, are
the most polished people in Europe, and need but in-
dependence to make them eventually a most com-
manding people, able to restrain the mad projects
of any other great Power. Is this to be got by
securing Sovereignty to the Pon? No, no ! The
time is past for such folly. Reduce the Priest to
his own office. Let the Bishop, if you will, have
the revenues of his Bishopric ; but let him, as all
Priests ought to be, be subjected to the Civil Ma-
gistrate. In the South, we repeat it, a great in-
dependent empire is much wanted ; but in Germany
the greater the number of small States the better,
„bile Austria, France and Russia retain their pre-
sent rank in the scale of Empire.
The Journal de Paris is suppressed. The reason
assigned in the mandate by which it is extinguished,
is the publication of a speech from Marshal Mac-
DONALD, in the Chamber of Peers, which now appears
to have been a fabrication, for the purpose of sowing
dissentions. Our Readers will recollect that the
Journal de Paris was conspicuous for its philippics
against England for the capture of Washington.
The pretended uproar in the Milan Theatre, in fa-
vour of BONAPARTE, and a thousand other offences
contra Imo: morn, had also, long since, rendered its
Editor unfit for the office which he had assumed.

We have alt,o received Hamburgh Papers to the
4th, and Dutch Papers to the 10th inclusive. Ac-
cording to a letter from Vienna of the 24th Novem-
r, in t1.41-larnburgh Papers, " the negociation,
have assumed a more favourable appearance than
for some time befcr.:. It is affirmed that the great
Powers will shortly come to a perfect understanding ;
And some go the length to assert, that many reported
differences were only feigned in order to discover the
views of a certain foreign Power, respecting Germany.
—Austria has 'absolutely nothing to object to the
union of Saxony with Prussia ; and Bavaria has also
'been placed, by means of .Austria, in possession or
the greatest part of the Grand Duchy of Francfort.---1
IThe greatest difficuly remaining is about Poland ;
but it is ear from impossible to surmount it."
According to the Continental Papers, the Negocia-
tions at Ghent arc carried on. with great activity.
This we know to be correct. They add that it is
known that ltngtand has relaxed much in her de-
mand s , and that America has lowered her tone, and
is now willing to make some concessions for the sake
of Peace. For some time the Negotiations have been
carried ON by an interchange of Notes, but matters
are reported to be now so far arranged that personal
conferences are expected to take place in a few days.
However this may be, the speculations on the
signature of Peace between this country and Ame-
rica are acted on with more activity in the City
than at any period since the report gained credit.
The Brokers, who in the first instance made large
purchases, still continue buying great quantities ;
and the Policies at LLOYD'S are 30 guineas to re-
turn 100 guineas for the Ist January, and 85 gui-
neas to return 100 guineas for the 16th of the
same month.

Our Readers already know that Sir ALEXANDER
COCHRANE sailed from Halifax about the end of Oc-
tober with a formidable naval and military armh-
ment. We can state, that the destination of this
force, which was to be joined by several regiments
from Jamaica, is the Gulph of Mexico, which will be
the scene of an enterprizing and brilliant campaign
during the winter months. The American States
are doomed, we sincerely hope, to see the Floridas
and Louisiana wrested from them before the war is
terminated. The coast of the Southern States will
also receive a visit from Sir ALEXANDER COCHRANE'S
Expedition en Illusant.
Sir JAMES YEO having now cleared Lake Ontario
, of all present appearance of annoyance from the Ame-
rican flotilla, is about to retire, in consequence of ill
lwalth. Commodore Owe)/ succeeds him in the com-
mand, and the NIOBE, Captain Decom, is fitting at
Portsmouth to carry his broad pendant.

By the Astrea frigate from the Brazils, we have
received the following communication ;

" BUENOS AYRES, SEPT.
" News has been received today that Pizuela, the Royalist
General of Lima, having been apprised of the events he Europe,
has proposed to the Independent Party an Armistice, and has
offered to withdraw his troops, under the conviction that these
occurrences will cause the Governor of Buenos Ayres to come to
an understanding with the Mother Country.
" it is asserted from authority that the Deputies to be sent by
this Government to Spain, will treat with the parent state under
the immediate cognizance and sanction of Great Britain."

It is further stated, that the proposal of Pizuela
was to retire with his army from Salta in the Tu-
cumon country to Desaguadero, or what is called
the Garganta, or Throat of Peru, a district of a very
strums military character, separating Upper from

Lower Peru. The Government of Puenrs
thus left in the undisputed possession of the
the ancient Viceroyalty, rf which that tit
capital, until arrangements with the Mt
try shall have assigned different limits
vernment of the River Plate.
The propositions by the Deputies to the
SPA IN are said to be his Supremacy over tit,
on the condition of their representation in
with all the rights, political, maritime any
cial, which they have lately enjoyed.
