A German paper, received on Friday, has furnished us with the following copy of a letter, stated to have been written by the Prince Regent, in notification of his concurring with the principles of the Holy Alliance :
"Carlton-House, October 6, 1815.
"My dear brother and cousin,—I have had the honour to receive your (Imperial) Majesty's letter, together with the copy of the treaty between your Majesty and your High Allies, signed at Paris on the 20th of September :—
As the forms of the British Constitution, which I am called upon to maintain in the name and in the place of the King, my father, prevent me from acceding to the treaty in the form in which it is laid before me, I choose this way to convey to the august Sovereigns who have signed it, my entire concurrence in the principles which they have expressed, and in the declaration which they have made, that they will take the Divine precepts of the Christian religion as the unalterable rule of their conduct, in all their social and political connexions, and confirm the union which should always exist between all Christian nations. It will be ever my serious endeavour to guide my conduct, in the situation in which Divine Providence has placed me, according to these holy principles, and to co-operate with my High Allies in all measures which are calculated to contribute to the peace and welfare of mankind. I remain, with the most unalterable feelings of friendship and regard, my dear brother, and cousin,
"Your (Imperial) Majesty's brother and cousin,
(Signed) "GEORGE, P. R."
