In Germany question has arisen, as 70
whether foreign Ministers shall be admit
ted, or not, to the Diet to be assembled at
Frankfort. The Commissioners of the
King, and of the Diet of Wurtemburg, are
said to have at length agreed upon the ba-
sis Of q Constitution. The secret articles
OF the Treaty between Austria and Bava-
ria have been published, by which it APP
pears that the former guarantees to the
latter the circles of Neckar, in the posses
sion of Baden, in case of failure of the di-
rect male line Of the reigning Grand
Duke.
At Malta and Gibraltar, say the letters
from these places, the trade is chiefly car
ried on by foreign vessels under English
cciors, to the great detrument of the fair
British ship owner.
An article from Aegsburgh, Of the esth

of Government. The day after his arri-

MED bv the Admiral, aud his own Staff, at
nine o'clock in the morning but in conse-
ouence of some want of form in waiting on
him, (such as not having frstaskeda at what
time it would be convenient to receive vi
sitors, s. probably the unreasonableuess of
the hour pitched upon,) Napoleon refused to
see either him or the Admit forthe latter
Of whom, 1t is said, by the bye, he has no
great affection. Tho next day, however,
the mistake, whatever it was, was recti-

not see Sir George Cockburn, whether de-
signedIy, or through some mistake OF the
servant, who was stationed to announce
visitors, cannot find out, but shrewdly
suspect the former. After few minutes
conversation, Sir Hudson Withdrew, aud
Sir Thomas Reid, and the rest Of the Staff
were introduced, who were received with
great pOlitenessby Napoleon. Ii is whis-
pered, that an offer has been made to all
or such of his Suite as might be DESTROYS to
return to Europe, of allowing them an OPP
portdnity of doing so, by proceeding tn the

ferred remaining with Napoleon to fOrsak
