Hopes are entertained here, that we Ihall fee the Emperor and King Napoleon in the courfe of this autumn, in Italy ; and preparations are already made for his reception, in Venice and other places. It is laid that arrangements of the ulnae% importance will be made, during his flay in this country. The French have found much Englifh property in TUNIS, JULY as: In the month of June, 1806, the Bey of Tunis, tired of the dependence which the Dey of Algiers impofed on him, took the refolution to free himfelf from the yoke, and to avenge the Tunifians of the injuries the Algerines caufed them the year before, when the latter took Tunis and decapitated the Bey. An article of the treaty at that time concluded, obliged the Tunifians to demolifh the fortre out reps r e on the frontiers; but the Bey immediately fet ab ing them ; at the fame time he eftablifhed two camps on the frontiers of the two Regencies, and having difcovered that Come of his fubjeas correfponded with the Bey of Conftantine, he caufed nitre to be arrefted, one of whom had his head cut off, and the other eight received a thoufand ftrokes of a flick, Lnd the Envoy of the Bey of Conftantine was baniflsed the country. At the fame time the Bey of Tunis declared that he had no hoftile view, and that he only meant to fecure his independence. On this information, the Dey of Algiers affembled an army, under the pretence of reducing tome re bels to obedience, but fhortly declared his real inten tions, and in the beginning of July his troops began their march to attack the Tunilian States. The Tunifian army was commanded by Munapha, furnamed the Euglifhman, formerly Bey of Conftan tine, but obliged to fly from Algiers, and take refuge at Tunis. The Dey of Algiers, before he came to the laft extremity, propofed, as conditions of peace, that he fhould be paid a large firm of money, and that Muflapha and his fon fhould be delivered up to him. At firll, there were Come negociations entered into ; but at the end of Auguft war was definitively declared. Two Algerine corfairs attacked a Tunifian 'ail in fight of Algiers, but the latter efcaped through her fuperiority of failing. Things remained, notwithflanding, in the fame Rate, each party con. tenting himfelf with making prepara tions, until the beginning of January, 18c7, when two Algerine frigates commenced the blockade of the harbour of Tunis. Notwithftanding the Tunifians threatened, ivith a numerous army, to attack Conftantine, whole new Bey, with all his family, had been murdered, the expedition was retarded from day to day, and a great number of Arabs joined the Tunifian army, which amounted to ao,oco. The Cheicks of Con ftantine entered into a negociation ; and the Dey of Algiers, uneafy at its progrefs , and har rafted b y the rebels of Oran, made fume offers of accommodation about the end of Match ; but the danger daily be coming more preffint, he detached, on the 2d of April, a reinfcrcement for the army; and at the fame time four veffels, laden with artillery, failed for Bonne. The Tunifians laid liege to Conftantine, but expe rienced an unexpelted refinance, and nearly the whole of the advanced guard of the Tunifians were made prifoners. The cowardice of the Agas, and a fuchlen panic feizing the Tunifians, obliged them at Lett to mile the liege, and retire in the greatelt diforder, purfned by the united troops of Algiers and Conaintine. The Dey of Algiers carried this viEtory to be c-Ithrated with the greaten pomp, and an nounced his intention of making the Regency of Tunis a fourth province of Algiers, and created a new Bey for that city, which be confidered as already c. , nquered. In the mean time the Bey of Tunis af fm.bled the remainder of his free, and gave the command to the Keeper of his Seals, with orders to give battle to the Algerines, which he did on the 12th of July, in which the Algerines were completely beaten ; all their artillery, baggage, notes, 130 tent', and 4coo camels, fell into the hands of the Tunifianr. The greaten part of the Algerine army were compofed of Turks, and taken prifoners. The extreme heat of the weather prevented the Tunifians veammei cing the liege of Conftantine but they are preparing for that enterprize with great profpeet of Inccefs, the Algerine Power being Co much reduced, as to require a length of time to recover from its di haters.

BANKS OF THE RHINE, AUGUST 3e. The meditated changes in the French Conilitution will be more confiderable than rumour fir& reprefent. ed them, and we give the following particulars, as thole in general circulation : The Senate and Legillative Body will be preferred; but the Tribunate will b- definitively fappretfed. 1 he next Legiftative Body will be cnmpofed of two Chambers, viz. an Upper Chamber, in which will fit and vote all the Princes. Dukes, Counts, Marquifils and Barons, lately created; and a Lower Chamber, cempofed Of Deputies from all the Departments. Every propnfition for a law mutt be accepted by the two Chant ben, and fandtioned by the Emperor. The Empire willbe divided into as anvernments:.ich of which will have an Intendant for the Adminittrative part, and a Parlia ment for the judiciary parts. The Intendants will eorrefpond di. rattly with the Miniltas ; the Wards of the Departments will be prefaced, bat will not correfpond with the Minifters, and will be under the authority of the Intendant. There will be hada in each department a fecondary tribunal, a Grand Provoft, and a Grand Bailiff; Commercial Provolts (Pre vots des Marchand+) who will take the place of the Mayors, will be eltablithed in all the great communes, the Under Fracas will be fupprelfcd. An attempt to allimilate the French Legiflature to the Lords and Commons of Great Britain, is the principal feature in the above plan. FRANKFORT. SrPTEMBER zs.

In the Hamburgh Correhondent of the Bth Auguft, No. 131, the following article was infected from Come of the German Papers : " According to the public reports, the PolithNobles had expelled a with to his Majefty the Emperor Napoleon, that the vaffalage of the peafants of the new Duchy of Warfaw might be (offered to continue 40 years longer ; but as they received no favourable anfwer, the deputation which waited upon the Em peror Napoleon before his departure, ventured only to apply to him for a prolongation of it for five years. The anfwer of the Great Sovereign was—' Not an hour ! ! '—( Par tine heure! !)" We owe it to truth to fay, that the above nate ment is entirely Nile, and that we are authorized to declare, that no fuch application was ever made t that the willies of the deputation and of the whole Polith Nobility entirely accord with the happy change which his Majetly the Emperor Napoleon has made in the law of the Duchy of Warfaw, by the abolition of livery ; that the deputation of the Duchy of War faw confider the imputation of any other opinion to them, as an odious calumny.

PETERSBURGH, SEPTEMBER 2* By a manifelto, publilhed yefterday, the peace concluded with France has at length been pub:iffied to the nation at large. It hates, that owing to she exertions made by the Ruffian troops, and by all dales of the nation, the war was brought to fuch an Me that very important aggrandifements might have been obtained ; but as this could only have been done at the expense of an ally, his Majelly thought it be. neath the dignity of the Ruffian empire to accept them, and therefore c3ntented himfelf with teeming, in fome meafure, the frontiers of Ruffia. We underhand that General Savary will foon of i fume a diplomatic charatier. I Mr. Nichols, late En gin Vice Coati!, in the Circle of Lower Saxony, has arrived here from the Sound.

As free (hips make free goods, fo on the other hand, the oppofite principle, that enemy's (hips make enemy's goods, is likewift: to be ailed on, unlefs it can be fatisfaeorily (hewn that the cargo is neutral property, and was put ou board before the commencement of the war.

Great and oppreftive as the burdens are which the unfortunate war now concluded, has brought upon my faithlul vaffals and fubjeas in the Paid provinces, and feverely as I am fenfible of them, she unflaaken fidelity and attachment of my fubjeCts is (till greater as their patient endurance has proved. Ynu have by your conduit obtained the efteein of the French, who if perfevered in, will, now that peace is concluded, thew you (till more of that forbearance, with which when enemies they endeavoured to diminifh the ca lamities of war. •' It muff fit ft be your care to fatisfy, to the utmoft of your power, the arrears of the contributions levied by the French army, fince on that alone muff depend whether we fhall loon enjoy the fruits cf peace, and be enabled to heal the time wounds which war has inflitied on our country. To facilitate your perform ance of this, I will endeavour to abrogate the debt which the payment of the contributions his obliged the country to contrail, by every poQble economy rn the di(burfement from the revenues of the country for the maintenance of the civil and military (fate. With this view I have already reduced the Pcnfion and confined it to cafes of the utmoff nece(fity, and have made confiderable progrefs in the limitation of civil apd military fee vice, much as it may pain my heart, efpecially as I mull feparate myfelt from men of merit, and men who have long ferved me. I muff at all events avoid the neceffity of impofing new bur then: on my fubjelts, at a time when it is much more my duty to fupport them in every pnffible manner. I have, by fending General Knoblefdorf to Paris, done all that depends on me to procure a diminution of the contributions, as alfo a facilitation of the paynpnts, by the acceptance of inflalmeots. All the condi tions of the, peace I will certainly endeavour mire . mittingly to fulfilf—more is not in my power—and I can only refer you to Privy Councillor Gieflach, whom I have provifionally appointed to the provin cial admininration of the EleBoral Mark, and air pointed civil commiffary general for all affairs rela tive to the peace in the provinces, and in the city : he will afford you every affiftance."

" Alexandria, July 14,180 y. a We are all daily in hopes either that the army will be withdrawn from this country, or that we hall be reinforced fo as to enable us to commence often live operations, as nothing can be more tirefome and melancholy than our prefent confined &nation, cooped up in a miferable town, without any variety or relaiation. We are well fupplied with provifions by the Arabs, but we fuller miferably for the want water ; all that the troops get is fo brackifb, that it is impoffible to fwallow it without being mired with wine or fpirits. Dyfentery in confequence is be coming very prevalent, and the Ophthalmia has been fo general, that upwards of three foul ths of the army have been attacked with it. We frequently hear from the prifoners at Cairo; they are tolerably well treated, except in being very flrnslly confined. Captain DELANCEY, of the xoti Dragoons, died lately at Cairo of the dyfentery : lY is unilletfally regretted. The Turks offered to gin up all our prifoners, if we would evacuate the coup try—this, of courfe, could not be accepted. Fifteen thoufand men, would, with the affillanoe of the Ms. Intlukes, eafily conquer the whole country ;—und there is no aluubt but that the Mamelukes walltl openly declare for us, if a fufficient army was feat here, but they do not chufe to export themfelves the vengeance of the Turkifh Government, till dal are certain whether we intend remaining in the country or not, which our prefent (mall force rendills fo doubtful. Our army were is at prefint perfettly ufekfs, and ought either to be augmented or with• drawn, as it ii fo many men loft to the fervice of their country, without any rational objeft, or end io view.
