The French Papers received last night contain but
little intelligence. An article from Warsaw attributes
the hesitation of the Porte to grant the concessions re-
quired, to a belief that the departure of the Ambassadors
would not be approved of by their respective Govern-
ments. A declaration was in consequence to be signed
by the Allied Powers to remove this impression, and
the result was confidently expected to be immediate
compliance. It was intended, however, ►hat the negro.
eiations should not be reopened at Constantinople, but
that the Ambassadors should meet the Turkish Pleni-
potentiaries at some port in the Mediterranean.
The accounts from Spain continue to represent that
country in a very disturbed state. The regular Spanish
troops are stated not to be sufficient to maintain tran-
quillity without great additions, when the French army
shall be withdrawn. Public executions of the Consti-
tutionalists are still continued in Catalonia and Arragon.

We received by the German Mail this morning.
Frankfort Pipers to the Bth, and the Nuremburg Cor-I
resposdent to the 7th inch. The former are chiefly occu-
pied with subjects of local interest. The latter contains
a curious article, said to be the answer of Count MP.
STU tcithe challenge sent him by the Duke of Baum-
wick, for some offensive expressions stated to have
appeared in the Count's late Refutation. The following
are extracts :

SWITZERLAND, FCBRUA 11l I.

Baron Ottenfels, Prussian Envoy to the Swiss Con-
federation, delivered, on the lSth January, a new pre-
.at from his Sovereign to the Protestant Church at
Lucerne. Nis Majesty has given SOO crowns towards
the purchase of a burying-ground. The Protestant
Cantons have contributed 800 francs for the same ob-
ject. Baron Rayneval, the'Vrench Ambassador, has
been summoned to Paris. It is thought he will not re-
turn to his post in Switzerland, but be employed in the
Ministry at home.

FROM THS LOWER ELBE, JAIKPART 4f.

• The beneficial constquenees of the tree navigation of
the Elbe to the countries-on its banks became more
evident every year. Without this the coasignments
d Bohemian and Saxon rnanufactures to the ports
4 Amities, could set have become so considerable
se they sow sew with every prospect of increas-

ing: The exportation of linens in particular from
them countries was very great last year, and promises
to be mach more so in the present one:because several
Bohemian houses have united •for the purpose of pro.
moting this branch of commerce; and have established-
' factories of their own in South America. In order to
give the merchants in other parts of Germany .an op.
portunity of sharing in the advantages of this trade, the
abovementioned houses have issued shares, which, as
we hear, have already been muck sought after in several
commeicial cities, particular y in the North of Germaay.
—Frankfort Papers, Feb. 7.
NUEUEMBURG, Fn. 4.

The following is given on good authority as the
answer of the Hanoverian Minister, Count Munster, to
the challenge which his Highness the Duke of Bruns-
wick had sent .to the Count through his Councillor of
State, Baron Munchausen, with the proposal of the city
of Dresden for she place of meeting :
" Since the middle of last month information had
been received here, through several channels, that his
Highness the reigning Duke of Brunswick had openly
expressed his intention of challenging me to fight a duel.
The day before yesterday, in the afternoon, M.Tattem-
son brought me your letter of the sth November,
in which this challenge is contained. The offen-
sive expressions, which his Serene Highness has found
in the Refutation drawn up by me by tl* order
of my Sovereign, and signed by his Majesty. and
which may have induced him to this step cannot
be put in comparison, if they are read without
prejudice, with the insults which are contained in
t.e pamphlet, published on the part of the Duke
of Brunswick, as well towards his Majesty as to-
wards myself. But if, notwithstanding his Serene
Highness wished to overlook the important considera-
tions which result from the whole dispute, and wake it
possible for me to accept the proposed challenge, it
would have been necessary, above all things, to avoid
the very. extraordinary publicity which has been
given to the affair. This publicity inevitably
produced the result,' that in consequence of a direct
communication front his Royal Highness the Duke 'of
Cambridge to the King, dated Oaklsel 29, an express
injunction from his Majesty not to accept the challenge
was given to me a week before I received the challenge
itself. Under these circumstance., I can only regret
that His Serene Highness the 'Duke of Brunswick should
have been induced to take a step
,yr,4itti the King has
looked upon as a fresh offence ioisatds himself.

The controul and patronage of the Army will, however, be as fully
vested in his. Lordship, as it was in the Noble Duke ; but a saving
will accrue of between 2,0001. and 3,0001. a year, a Field Marshal,
as Commander in Chief having an allowance of about 71. a day more
then a General with the title of Commander of the Forces.
There is a curious document, drawn up in 1825 by
the lair Lord AqIBURTON, in existence. .It is an ab-
stract of a genealogical tree of the descendants of the
ol.fated MARY Queen of SCOTS, from which it appears
that at that period every crowned head in Europe was
included in the number, except the King of PORTUGAL
(but his Queen, however, is there), and the King- of
BAVARIA, and BERNADOTTE, the King Of, SWILDIN.—,
Tile entire number of her descendant) then living wa.S

STADT (young NAPOLEON), within the line of succele.
