the conditions of it are settled ; but it is added, that

impression is, that a tempest' is ready to burst. The
Brussels Papers, which we have received to-day, and
from which we subjoin extracts, confirm this impres.

be the signal for insurrection. The Allied armies, par.
ticularly the Prussians, are already retiring from
France. The Duke of WELLINGTON is to winter
