FRENCH PAPERS.

Vtatrica, JAN. 40.—Lord Steuart gave here, ye
the 18th, a magnificent fete, in celebration of the
Queen of England's birth-day. All the Sovereigns,
Archdukes, and foreign Ministers, were present.
All the politicians who reckoned firmly on peace,
and who had framed their plans and their news ac-
cordingly, find themselves somewhat deranged in
their calculations. There ii a talk of a note given
in on the 12th instant, by the Prussian Ministers,
which is any tiling but conciliatory. Prussia per.
sists in demanding the annexation of all Saxony to
hei States. We learn, on the other hand, that the
King of Saxony has formally declared, that he will
exnose himself to every thing lather than cede a
single portion of his States. This Resolution be-
comes
tie more embarrassing, as it even runs counter -
to the plat: of indemnity proposed by Austria.
The fiiilowisig provi,ional determination has! we
are assured, been adopted with regard to Poland:—
The Duc!iy of Warsaw will be preserved, with a
population of 2,100,0/0 inhabitants. Warsaw re.:
rnaini•ig the :vital. A population of 600,000 souls
will he detached from Western Poland iit favour of
Prussia, which wilt facilitate her communications be- !
tweet, the New Mark and Silesia. The remainder of
tile Di-chy of Warsaw will form an independent
principality, and intermediate between the Grand
Duchy, Prussia, and Austria. The Sovereign of
this new state is not yet designated. _

It is hplicwed that the plait of the Germanic Con-
stitution presented by Prince bletternich will be
a.lopted, with some modifications • though we learn
that Prussia has just communicated another drawn
bp by M. De Humboldt) by no means coincident with
that of Austria.

FRONTIERS or AUSTRIA, JAN. 19.—People are
esiisiiieed that the best understandiug prevails be-
tween the Courts of Vienna and Naples. It is per-
fectly true, that in consequence of a demand from
Austria, the corps of Neapolitan troops stationed in
dice Mark of Ancona has been placed at the disposal
of Field-Marshal Bellegartle, Commander in Chief in
Italy, and is at present under his command.
This arrangement has given rise to many conjec-
tures. Some people, who pretend to be well in-
formed,ossert that Austria having deemed it necessary
to remove some Italian regiments from her present
Italian provinces, and not wishing to replace them
by too great a number of German and Hungarian
troops, who are not mnch liked in Lombardy, has
endeavoured in this way to augment her disposable
force in Italy. She therefore required the King of
Naples to furnish her with the number of troops
stirilaled in his treaty of alliance. King Joachim
forthwith assented to this demand. These troops
may be sent to every point where there is occasion
for them, without, however, leaving Italy. By
this means Austria has al way a very fonsiderable
force in that country, and is enabled to have the,
principal part of her army disposable on her northern
frontier, should political circumstances reqeire it.
Fitortrikes or SAXONY, JAN. 20.—We are as-
pired that the project for carrying off the King of
whiclt has been so much spoken of, is oil!)
