Frederick will re-ascend his throne, and that Prussia'
Mill be compelled to renounce her projects. Eng-
land, however, strongly insists on the power of
Prussia being greatly augmented.
" The question of Poland remains still equally*
undecided. Russia; like Prussia, founds her claims
on the Convention of Kalisch; but the other Powers,
and especially Efanc.e, Austria, and England, ab-
soltr.tely refuso to see so important a possession as
Poland pass into the hands of Russia, which would
give it so great a preponderance over the rest of the
continent of Europe."
The Court Gazette says, "the Emmet Of Austria,
In consideration of the wish•expresserl by their Royal
Highnesses -the Prince Regent of England and the I
Duke of York, has appointed these two Princes
Field-Marshels of his armies."
The Austrian finances are still much deranged.—
The extraordinary contributions which were imposed
foi 1814 °say, will be etintiritred for 1815, notwitli-
pending the kessation of hostilities. The extraordi-
nary expenCes for which our Government must pro.,
vide seem to render this measure uecessary, though
It is by do means palatable.
The German. Princes hirve presented a very mo'
meotatiie note to Princes Metternich and Harden-1
berg, complsiniug that Kings alone had voices in the
Congress. They cleirn to be reckoned something,
at least in regard to the constitution of Germany.—
They declare that they 'wish only the welfare of their
subjects; that they are ready to establish States
General where there were none ; and that they will
take as a model the Constitution of the States Ge-
neral of Nassau. •
It Is...asserted, that Prussia consents, by a separate
treaty, to cede all Poland to Russia : these two
Powers are agreed on the point, but Austria warmly
opposes it.

day a very long conference with the Midi* for,
Foreign Affairs, after which he paid a visit *tjr, Lori
Castlereagh. The object of his mission is a mystery:;'
but there are reasons to 'relieve, that it relates to the
purposesof definitively u. fate of the
Archduchess Maria Louisa ...sd her sea: deheral
Koller was one of the Commis.'oners wise accom-
panied Bonaparte to' Elba,. and one ln'whom*bli re-
posed the greatest conadepce. Thh is
.trobabty the
cause 'of his being charged with thituegeciafloo.

to see, from the answer of the Emperor Al

MADdID, Nov. 10.—A report is spread, that the;
Supreme Council of Castile is charged to propose to
the King a plan for convoking the Cortes of the ;
kingdom. The anxiety of the public opinion, the
progreisive rigour of measures occasioned by circum-
stances, the state of the finances, and the alarming
news, though not yet authenticated, respecting South
America, all seem to render this great measure ne-
cessary. The King's promise on his entry into Spain'
is only a conditional pledge, since his Majesty pro.
posed an assembly of the Cortes only when thetran.
quillity of Spain should permit him to consult with
effect the wishes of his people.
If
The Council of Castile is occupied in classifying !
the civil state of persons affected by the unhappy cir-
cumstances attending the in invasion of the Peninsula.'

sessions. For the reit, the moderation and wisdom
of the Council must be confided in.
