Norfolk Gazette And Publick Ledger

London, October 6.

We received this morning, Dutch papers to the 1st inst. Buonaparte was at that date at Schoenbrunn, and the emperor of Austria at Buda, for which place the Austrian count Bubna set out on the 15th, from Schoenbrunn, with dispatches for his master. At his departure he was presented by Buonaparte with a precious stone of great value--from which circumstance it was inferred that the negotiations are drawing to a close. There are, however, many circumstances unfavourable to this supposition. Letters from Strasburg, of the 22d September state, that the armistice which expired on the 20th, has been prolonged for a month, with the additional stipulation, that hostilities are not to recommence until after six weeks notice of its expiration. French corps and military stores had passed through that city on their way to Austria, and the troops, both French and Austrian were in constant motion. Buonaparte was also busily employed in establishing a line of telegraphs from Strasburg to Vienna, passing through Ulm to Munich; by which means there would be a complete line of telegraphs between the Austrian and French capitals. As the immediate evacuation of Vienna would probably be one of the conditions of peace, it would seem, from this circumstance, that such an event is not considered as near at hand. The accounts from Paris, in the Dutch papers, are to the 27th ult. and from Bayonne to the 8th. Several detachments of troops have lately passed through the latter place, on their way to Spain.

Change in the Administration.

Mr. Perceval yesterday kissed hands on his elevation to the post of first lord of the treasury, vice the duke of Portland, by which movement the right hon. gentleman becomes premier. This was the only appointment announced yesterday at the levee. Lord Harrowby has not yet received the seals of the foreign-department vacated by the right hon. George Canning, and it is even said they have been refused by earl Bathurst. Indeed a man of any pretensions, however slender, if he possesses a particle of pride, must pause before he consents to become a locum tenens for marquis Wellesley. Mr. Robert Dundas Saunders, has set out for Ireland, before he makes his debut here as the secretary for the war and colonial department, vice lord Castlereagh. He is expected back on Wednesday next.
