Vienna, Jan. 11,lit!

Count Metternich begged of me to call upon him this mem
big. He Ilia just received a courier from Berlin, which brought
him the details of thedefectlon of the Prussian Army, with !Ms
tars written by both parties, either to justify or blame that means*
recut. " It is a proof,' said the Minister to me, "of what I
have viten told you, of the Goer( fides Of the Russians, and of the
embarrassing pool:twin wheli th, greater part of the Sovereigns
of Europe are, in respect to the.r te.so s and their people."
I have remarked, that the Austrian Minister at tierlin has
traostui ted all the official tl•icuownis —the letters of the King of
Naples, of the King .01 PrOssie, of Marshal Macdonald. Count
St. Mir Sill in shot t, of an sit fi.itte numb, rof donate. which could

fidence in the Cabinet of Vienna, tad this At regularly oinsulta
it upon .the line of conduct they ought to finiovr. in Inc. ltit. de-

tion of the Prusslat army wound bo the signal of a revolution. 1

tage of thole first impressiou it might make in Germany and

seemed the most to embarrass Count De Mettermeh, was the

Yteuna, Jule flt .
Monsciontox-eI have just returned from the Minister,
whom I left extremely well sattefik with the inteligence from
' farts. The following has plans relative to his agent in England.
He wanted a skilful, discreet man, cloaking the language, and
understanding to the bottom the commercial system of litiropee
lle has fixed upon M. de W.eesemberg, Minister Plenipotentiary
at Munich, the same whom 'he Would have sent to Paris, bad he
been of sufficient rank. •
This Minister is expected here after a very short abode. He
wit! set out for Copenhagen. He will probably proceed on to
tiottenburgli to seek the means of embarking; arrived in Eng-
land, be will deliver a letter to Lord Caetlereagit from Count
Metternich, inf• rating the English Minister, that Austria, touch-
ed with the edit:Mtn" which are passing in Europe, has coned.

that she has sound. d cite disposeions of France open this ignitor-
nun redo ; "hat she has found them faeoureble to her views;

of Great Britain ; that being of all the Powers in Europe that
which could be the least interested in the eventual conditions of
general peace, and wh•ch would suffer the least from the pre-
vent :rate of thing., she Nought herself entitled to inspire sutft-
dent confidence, to make her intervenrion agreeable ; that M.
de Wessemberg was citarg...l to collect the intentions of the 13:1-
tish Uoverame3t on this subject, and that Ids ?Minion would be•.

the euldle.
teed. de Wessembene is asked what Prance wiihes, he will
aniwt r, that he know: nothing more of her diepositions than that
she is willing to treat, and neat abs has transmitted to lard
Castlereagh coolielons which were psililished at she time; that
his mission is purely Austrian, and has no other end than that
of facilitating eceonunodations, and putting an end to the agitin;
isms of ilurope ;but it the efforts of Austria do not produce that
effect, she will no herself obliged, itecortling to the same semi.

Prance a force of thore than 500,000 melt, which she wouldi
solely employ for the re-establishment of a maritime peace, mid
toe oeera!ions in Spain ; char Austria is the only Power on the
Continent completely a stranger to the commerce of the sea;
that she !suss a great price on the tranquillity of the Curnineut ;
and that maritime affairs may be determined without her inter-
amnion, if England 'legit cts the present moment.
If At de We:seniberg is asked what Austria means by a gene-
ral pacifictlion of the ';ontlnent, he will answer, not an ordi-
nary peace, but an unardmuusconvention of the Powers of Eu-
rope to solidly meintain peace, and in no manner to meddle in-
the discussions which shall subsist between France and England.
M. de Wessemherg is to be careful of threatening the English
Ministry, but will very vaguely give it to undersnuid, that this
general pacification would be followed by the total exclueion at
English commerce. •
Ali that Is demanded of us is, to make the greatest,prepara-
bons for a new campaign.
Austria applauds the bale proposed by his Majesty for the
peace with Russia, and that with England ; she Midi them very
generous, but she very earnestly begs of us not to speak of them,
bat letterdo it. Übe 'takes upon herself all the responsibility,
god will keep to the terms of your last dispatch, that the Ens-
perer consents to the neeociation, but that his Majesty will not
19pear in it. •.• •

mite to engage, if it is possible, in the discussion, and reckon
rilktle upon events. The Minister Is delighted with having his
.haissialiee. I Inver sass him happier thin toiday, and I par-
take of the hopes he at this moment nouriehes.
