seat of wa, through Germany, and the Medi>
,errsnean. being merely repelilions of former
advices.
The MrNIsrRY.-The Liverpool Mercury Of
the 5th, publishes note from London cor.
respondent, dated the day previous, a, half past
7 O'Clock as follows:-"Some Of the papers
persis, in stating that negotiation has been
pending for the return Of MIR. Huskisson to the
cabinet. Lean state TO you upon authority,
which is unquestionabIe, that indirect, II not
direct, overtures have been made to that gen.
,lemsn, at the suggestion OF Mr.. Peel. This
is fact. What else has been s,aled OF his hav-
ing refused 10 go back unless Earl Dudley and
Messrs. Grant and Wayne are reins,ated, may
be true, (and, indeed personal friends OF Mr.
HuskissoD, coun,snance the rumor,) but OF this
! have heard pething positive"
The Morning Herald says there appears to be
some reason for imagining that Lord Melville
will not remain a, the Admiralty long; tha, he
merely holds Office there until SOME arrange
menis are finally agreed upon by the Minis,ryi
and the general opinion is that Sir George
Cockburn is to be First Lord: but upon wha,
authority the report rests nobody knows, tho
there is an evident evasion Of the plain question
a, the Admiralty. Lord Melville is at present
in Scotland, and Is expected in town In eight
or ten days time, when something will proba-
bly, transpire that will throw light on the
subject.
The Grand Duke Michael, Of 80 guns; Prin
cess Louvael frigs,e, so guns; Ulysses, 90 guns,
and Telemachus, 90 guns, sailed from Ports
mouth on the frs, Of December for the Medi"
terranesn.
A reduction Of the army is spoken Of in the
military circles, by which saving OF one mil.
lion per annum is 10 be effected. AS parts oil
the plan, il is said the depot companies OF re.
gimenls abroad are to join their respective

1t is stated from Frankfort, (Nov.2s) that
MIR. Addngton, the BRUSH Minister TO the
German Diet, has left that city in consequence
Of orders sent 10 him TO return 10 London
As MIR. Arlington was formerly Secretary Of
Legation ia Waabing'on, 1t is supposed tina.
his presence in LonGon is required 10 give in
formation on various subjects connected with
relations between England and the United
States.
Hamburg papers to the 2eth, and the Prus-
sian State Gazette Of the 28th November,
had been received in London. The latter an-
nounces, on the authority OF letters from Leg
horn, the arrival Of vessel at tina, poii from
Cons, sutinople, which she left on the 22nd OF
Of October. Six vessels laden with corn, had
arrived there from Alexandria, and thirty
more were dlily expected at The time oil those
arrivals, (Oc,. 26) The dearness OF corn at
Cons,an,inople, aud indeed OF all provisions,
was increasing every day, and began to be ru>
inably felt. at is necessary TO have guards
constontly stationed before the bakers, shops,
TO keep Of the crowd and prevent excuses. II
is TO be hoped that the one hundred cargoes
of corn, expected from Egy2, will soon arrive,
though several ships, bound to this port, are
said to have been taken by the Russians and
Greeks. Ifihe arrival of those supplies shonld
be long delayed, the most serious apprehen-
sions NAV be entertained" Tie Morning
Herald thinks these apPrehensions OF scarcity
chlmerical, il not exaggerated
The Morning Herald thus serves up the con-
tents Of the Hamburg papers above mentioned.
"rhey confirm The report, OF the speedy ar
iva. Of the three Allied Ambassadors at Ma
niles. A letter from one Of them, NJ. de Ri
beaupierre) written to the Russian Minister al
tina, Court, and dated Poros, Oct Is, announ'
ces Thai he and his two colleagues would set
GU, in three weeks from that date; and no doubt
this change Of place has been determined upon
from their not being able TO agree respecting
the limits of Greece, and the consequent necss'
si,y Of receiving fresh Instructions from their
Re spective Courts. IL is possible they may
have bseu induced to take this step, 10 get RID
Of the interested suggestions Of the Greeks;
bu, j, is more probable that they were actua'ed
by the former motive; and, if our conJecture
be correct, il may break up the alliance. II
