We received this morning Paris papers

to Inc SfCu lHSt. uS0ot.J -.
Monday the Duke Of. Wellington had ms rs
| Leave Of the French King, and had
| long and particular conference with MS
Majesty, previous to his Grace's dePar-
| ture on the mission to the Congress at w
emma. The business of the embassy at
Paris is to be transacted by the secretary
| of Legation. Lord F. Somerset, who is.
| to act as Provisional Minister plenipoten-
tiary in his Grace's absence. Nothing
is said in the Paris papers respecting the
motives of this extraordinary mission.
The Gazette de FRANCE says, after no
ticing the audience, " We only know
that his Excellency took leave of the
King to proceed to Vienna, where his
stay will, it is supposed, be but momen-
tary."
In consequence of the negotiations re-
lative to Poland, new propositions have
been made to Prussia, to engage her to
relinquish her pretensions to Saxony.-
According to report, these propositions
are to the following prrport:
1. Prussia shall recover the parts OF
Poland. in following nearly the course Of
the Wartha, formerly it was the Pilezka;
9. The moiety of Lusatia or Lower
Lusatia,. cmnprehending Wittemburg, &

| fro Iersrtmen nc tLe ROer:
