It is true that the rights of Sovereigns and of Princes become fubjeas, are defined in a general manner by the At ticles 25 and 27 of the aft of Confederation — but the heretofore immediate Princes. and the Sove• reigns, endeavour each to interpret in their own favour the terms of thefe articles, particularly in what regards the revenues. Some Sovereigns of the Confederation, in order to put an end to thefe uncertainties, have publithed de clarations, determining the revenues that are to remain to the Princes heretofore Sovereigns. The King of Bavaria was the Ara to iffue this de claration, and it is praifcd as exceedingly jull and generous. The fecond declaration, which was iitued by the Government of Baden, is more rigorous. The laft is that of the Grand Duke of Heffe Darmfladt, which was very recently publitbed. It is framed upon the declaration of Bavaria ; but it withholds certain rights, which the King of Bavaria had granted to the Princes become fubjeas. Other effential articles in it are too vaguely expreffed. All Germany is anxious that the Diet of Frank. fort fhouM decide the fate of the Princes become fubjeas, that there may be eftablithed in that refpea an unity of principles in all the States that compofe the Rhenifh Confederation. Although the confervation of the Revenues be the chief objcit of folicitude with thole Princes, there is Rill another quellion, which gives rife to frequent I difputes, and that is, the political rank of thefe an cient S..vereigns. The King of Wirtemberg has prohibited from being prefentcd at Court, every individual of the ancient i.nmediate nobility, who is not employed in the fer vice of the State, and who has not obtained a title. A much more important objeft, is, the fixing the conflitutional power of the Sovereigns of the Ger manic Confederation. A Journal, which is fuppofed to be under the proteetion of the Prince Primate, expreffes itfelf very energetically on this fubjed, and loudly invokes the intervention of the great Monarch who gave a contlitutional frame to the Grand Duchy , of Poland.—" This legiflative hero," lays the Jour nalift, " 4 will certainly not leave Germany in the , (tate of uttcr anarchy in which it is now plungeel."

The troops confla of the ad batta lions of the sth, 23d (nr Welch Fuzileers), and 9oth Regiments, and a part of two battalions of the King's German Legion. This morning the sth and 23d difembarked at Monkflown ; the former proceeded to Kinfale, and the latter, an uncommonly fine body of men, marched into this city, on their route to Poneraille and Charleville, where they are to be quartered. The 9oth difembarkad at the Eaft Ferry, land proceeded to Fermoy. Lift of the fleet arrived and expeeed from cte. bec.

Wednefday lark about 200 recruits marched into Canterbury, on their route to join the Denbigh mi litia at Margate, and on the fame day nearly a timilar number joined the Weft Norfolk at Canterbury. In the county of Norfolk the proper officers have determined, that sot. is the average price of a tublii tote for the militia ; yet in this county we find that so guineas have been offered and refuted. The 97th (QEeen's German) Regiment is ordered to Brabourne Lees, where it is expetted to arrive on the 3oth and 3 tit inft. It is underflood that provided the wind is fair for their proceeding to the Downs, part of the troops expelled with Admiral Moattay from South Arne , rica, viz. the firft battalions of the sth, 36th, 38th, 4oth, and 4sth, will be difembatked at Deal, and Rationed in the Kent dilltia ; but should the wind be contrary on their arrival at Spithead, they are to be difembatked at Pottfmouth, and marched into the 1 Suffix diftria. LEWES. DECEMBER tt. Lai! Tuefday two troops of the King's German Legion light horfe, arrived here on their march into Kent. They were dreffed in uniform fpencers, lined and trimmed with thick fur, which gave them a very fierce and formidable appearance. The privates all wear lathes, to dittinguith them from the privates of • other regiments. - Laft Tuefday morning, as the fccond dragoons. Rationed at Chichetter Barracke, were exercifing in marching order, on the fide of St. Roche's Hill, on palling down the Reep, the horfe of the matter of the band fell with him, and unfortunately broke one of his legs. He was taken from the ground, fuffering under great agony ; but the fraftured bone being Coen afterwards reduced, we hear, that he now lies in a fair way of recovery. One day laR week, a fmuggling logger, heavily laden with contraband goods, was fazed by one of his Majefty's cruizers, off Bexhill, and taken into Newhaven harbour. The lugger is quite new, and was taken with her fir( freight. A (hocking accident happened at Beckley, in this county, on Wednefday lall.—A fine little boy, the fon of a labouring man of that parith, was burnt to death, in the abfcnce of his mother, who impru dently left him in a room where there was a fire, to be taken care of by his brother, not more than four years old. The urfor innate little fufferer, on finding his clothes in a blaze, ran, with his affrighted bro. ther to the (Ireet door, where their cries brought .e man from a neighbouring barn to their affiltance, who loon extinguithed the flames, but the child was fo mifcrably (torched that it expired, in great agony, a few hours after.

The troops of Wirtcrnberg, as well as thofe of Bavaria, are already on the;r march for that country, where the whole are to be caotnned for the prefent. It fhould fcem as if the roces:bers of the Confederation of the Rhine can by no Iflekns agree, • with relpe6l to their future public laws. It i, admit ted, that great difpntes prevail at prefect at.mang them ; and they are, in t3ler ably plain term:, thr,a. tened with the vigorous interference of Boesparcill. A Journal, which is laid to be under the controul of the PRINCE PRIMATE, (BONAPARTE'S uncle) loudly invokes the intervention of that " Lrgillative .firro, who," aids the Journalitl, " will certainly not leave Germany in the flak of utter anarchy in which it is now „ plunged." ;1..'

LETTER FROM PORTAU-PRINCE, OCTOBER 6. PETION'S Army had a fevere rencontre with that of his antagonia (Cuarsvor us), a few days fince, near St. Marc. He compelled it to mire with con fiderable lofs, and in the greatefl confofion. Among the fain were two renowned Chiefs (a General and a Colonel), of the Artibonites, from whae party much danger has been heretofare apprehended. Ge- neral LAMAIRE fill remains in the f..:1 poffefion of Port de Paix, which is in the very heart of CHRIS TnTlll% territories ; and it is excelled that St. Marc will very fhortly be united to the dominions over which PATIOS at prefent prefides : that town, how. ever, is extremely well fortified, and may take fame time before it is reduced ; but there is no doubt of the refult being favourable to PET 1011." Minihers, we underhand, have agreed upon a j Declaration to be publift,ed, hating it to be his AJEsry's intention to give to the Captors his Ma jestv's right is all prizes that [Fall be taken from the Emperor of Russia, or his ful,je&s. They have elfo agreed upon the feveral intirations to be fent to the fcveral Courts of Admiralty, to enable them to take cognizance of, and proceed upon, the cap tured and forfeited veffels. Thefe Courts include his MAJESTY'S Courts if Admiralty in foreign fettle ments ; and the inftru6lions point out the mode of proceeding, in cafes of capture, of all (hips, goods, and merchandize, by any of his MAJESTY'S (hips of war, to which letters of marque and reprifals have been granted. The Governor of Gibraltar, and the Commifftmers ailing at Malta, are to be veiled with powers to grant letters of marque and reprifals againft Ruffian (hips, goods, and merchandize.

The Innkeepers and Publicans of Kent and Suf fez, feeling themfelves fa dillteircd by the late in ceffant marchings and counter marching, of the troops in that quarter, have refaved to petition Go vernment for redrefs. A fimilar accident to that which befel the paffen gers of the Saliflory coach, occurred, on Tuefday night, near Salthill. A tilted caravan, containing Jour perfons, got out of the turnpike road in the fog, and the bode plunged headlong down a preci pice of feven feet, near Cranfield, with the caravan. Sarah Heaver, a fervent to Mr. Hill, at Bridge Ferry, had her ikon fraitured, and was otherwife fo ferioufly hurt, that her life is defpaired of. The other per lons were much bruifed, the driver excepted, who clung to the machine as it was falling. Tuefday night the houfe of Mr. Brooks, in Bridge. water-fquare, ISailii;ian, was robbed of a deal box, containing 33 gold ;0 laver watches and cafes, of coofiderable value. The refurAl of a bifhoprick has occafioned great furprife among churchmen, but there is an initance on record of a Bifhop offering to reign, merely be. caufe his health would not permit him to execute the daiu of his rake. Doubtlefs he will likewife be reckoned a very fingular charaeter, his name wns Dr. ZACHARY NARC a, Bi(hop of Rocirefter and Dean of Wellmintler. The general objed of the late Treaty figned between France and Attalla is, to arrange thofe new relations which the occupation cf the Mouths of the Cattaro have produced between Maria and France, or rather between I'.ance and Turkey. The Mouths of the Cattaro formed one of the South Esnern bulwarks of the Turkith empire ; and the pofrefli )n of them by the French Emperor focures him a camp of en trenelunent and of attack—a pofition of controul and of offence againtt that devoted empire, whenever it may fair his purpofes to attack it. Hence the long effort of France to procure it, and of Ruffle to defend it. Rullia having become the confederate of France, and its partner in the future fp ril, furrendered up the River and Province of Cattaro, as one of the means of enabling her ally to hunt down the common game; and Runia having furrendered this vety important pofition, it became impoffibte for Auftria to continue her fecret refinance. The Es. Venetian States furrendered by the Second and Third Articles, are part of the indemnities to Auftria in the Treaty of Luneville. It is thus that Prance has gradually recalled all that fit: then gave ; the neat) , of Prefburgh took Venice, and the' reaty of Fontainbleau takes the Venetian States. There ceflions are important in a double point of view : in the fira place, as rendering France invincible Miftrefs of the Adriatic ;—in the fecond, as evincing ' the complete fubjedion of the Emperor FRANCIS.— BON ArAft ra has no Ally; all are his (laves or his enemies. It firiuld not here pals unlbferved, that BO• NAPARTE is (paring no efforts to get all the lea coatis and ports of Europe into his pnff.fli , n.— His purpofe in this is very manifelt. It is a policy. the ultimate end of which is to cherith France into a Naval Power more equal to contend againa Eng• land. The lea ooatt is naturally the cradle of lea men, and the principal ports the molt fertile repofi tories for their fupply. The exchange of Flttfhing for halt Friefland and Iver is an additional proof and example of his anxiety for the maritime interefts of France. The Fourth Article concedes, on the part of Au aria, that certain fource of future weaknefs to the power which is htunillated enough to grant it—a military road *0%4 the iiiffirian dominion to Ifiria and Dalmatia. The greeted proof rf the completenefs of ?ruffian fnbjedion was in the military road granted through his dominions to. the Duchy of Warfaw.— The Emperor Francis, therefore, by this article, would appear as great a flare as the King of Profile himfelf. It is needlefs, Fe fuppore, to add, that a military road includes the right of the power to whom it is granted, to tend troops, cannon, &c. from one extremity of it to another. To mend the matter, the number of thefe troops is not limited in the treaty of Fontainbleau This fame article, moreover, contains proof pofi tive of the future intentions of the Emperor Napoleon with refpect to Turkey. This military road is to extend to Iftria and Dalmatia. But why does Bona parte want this road to two provinces which do not belong to him ?—Moft affuredly for no other purpofe but for their conqueft and annexation. The three remaining articles of the treaty are merely formal. 7
