Citizen Talleyrand Perigord, the actual French minister for foreign affairs, has written a letter to citizen Callard, the minister of the directory, at Berlin, directing him to represent to the king of Prussia, that the dominions of the duke of Brunswick are a new Coblentz, and a rallying point for emigrants; and to request his majesty would cause the duke to expel from his duchy, without distinction of age or sex, the proscribed and emigrated French refugees, whose number amounts in the whole to 4000 persons. —The young king having complied with the request, the duke has found himself obliged to order all emigrated or proscribed French families to quit his dominions within a month's time.

Among these unfortunate exiles, is the archbishop of Rheims, uncle of citizen Talleyrand, and also the mother of this minister.—About 1000 of these proscribed persons, being destitute of all means to raise the expense necessarily attending their removal, the country people have made a collection to supply them with money. Louis XVIII. on being informed of this order of expulsion, dispatched a courier to Petersburg, to request permission, as is generally supposed, to withdraw to Mittau.

All the latest accounts from Germany coincide in stating, that this measure of expulsion is to be extended throughout that country.
