FRANKFORT PAPERS.

Dispatches were received this morning at Lord
CasTccesAott'S Office, in Downing-street, from his
Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON.—A Messenger
also arrived express from Ostend. The information
received through both these channels is deemed un-
usually important.—A Council of the Cabinet Mi-
nisters has been summoned to deliberate on the con-
tents of these advices.

Lucien Bonaparte ( Prince De Canino) arrived
this day at Paris.
Prince Joseph was engaged all day with 111* Ern-

The Duke of WELLINGTON had returned to Bras.:
sets on the 7th, from Ghent, after having had an
interview with Lours XVIII. We do not know
whether the dispatches announce the departs re of his
Grace for the army, or any pressing necessity for it,
but a crisis appears to he approaching.
it was rumoured, this day on 'Change, that the
Coalition against France has been dissolved, and
that NAPOLEON, taking advantage of circumstances,
had ordered off 301090 Tatty, taken from. the
vomited Gens &Armee, to the Belgic frontiers:—
The former part of this statement is opposed by the
official intelligence we communicate from Vienna.

It appetite certain that there is an interchange at
Couriers between the Thuilleries and Vienna. It iN
