Lord Wellington has arrived, and on Monday all the troops stationed here are to perform a grand manoeuvre, in presence of Lord W.
It is asserted that at his first meeting of the ministers, he made a remarkable speech, in which, among other things he said, that if Great Britain had concluded peace with the United States of America on terms little to her advantage, it was merely from the motive of giving peace to the whole world, it was therefore but just that Russia and Prussia, on their part, should likewise abate their immense pretensions, and give way in some measure to the wishes of Austria, France and the other powers. The English minister then handed in a sealed note, containing the ultimatum of his Government. The affairs of Saxony being settled, the other matters are progressing rapidly.
