" Genoa and its coatis h ave been the theatre of a bloody war. It gives me pleafare to recollea, that amiclft the molt terrible viciffitudes, you have ',men faithful; and you have made your caufe the fame as that of the Great People ; you have de firoyed that oligarchy which fonered a diverlity of fentinients ever face faCtion dillurbed your re pore, injured your credit, and endangered your liberty. It may even with truth be Paid, that greet Powers will perhaps roaia rdentment on account of your conduit, hut the French people will al ways confider your caufe as their own. A Conni- Union, founded On equality, that greaten Of wiii conftilidate your exiftence—large pro vinces fun aural and increafe your territory. a Let your lufferings then be forgotten;—re member what your ancetlars fuffered to acquire a few paltry communes : proferibe all fanions— maintain and cherith within your breafts a roister for your Conflitution and your Raigion, and edu cate your children in love for the Great People. Let the place of your wretched gallies ue fupplied by good fhips of war, to protta your commerce in the Levant ; their countries are Rill filled with the remembrance of your aneenors. " Citizens, Senators of the Ligurian Republic, tell your fellow citizens, that in nominating the Citizen who is firf: to occupy the place of Doge, I do it only that I may comply with their with, and that in the prefent circumftance it is the great. eft mail: of inter:ft which I can give them.

Liston, Minifier Plenipotentiary of his BRITANNIC MAJESTY to the Batavian Republic, his Lady, and fuite, Major General CAMPBELL , Colonel NELL, Conful General at Li(bon, Count de TRUCHESS, a Getman Nobleman, &c. An EngElliman and an American having laid a confiderable bet here, which of them could remain longer under the water, they both threw them (elves into the Seine a few days ago: the Englith man remained 5 minutes 15 feconds, without re appearing ; the American 5 minutes 4o feconds. We are Allred that fo good a diver has not been Peen here for a long time. The Engli(hman intends to have another trial, and means to double the wager, which was 2ocl. Reding. Between the la of Germinal, year 9, (March 22), and the ift of Vendemiaire, year to, (Sep tember :2), one hundred and eleven new pieces have been reprcfented in the different Theatres of Paris.

This 1 country is entirely freed from all the rights which the German empire exercifed over it, and Switzer land is enlarged by a rich and happy diftria. I therefore notify to you by thefe prefents, that the Frickthal is ceded by France to Helvetia, with all the rights over the Paid country, granted by the Emperor and Empire to the French Republic in the Treaty of Luneville : and that the Helvetic Executive Council i , anthorifed to incorporate it with the Helvetic Republic,to occupy it with Hel vetic troops, and to take charge of the Admini ftration of the Country." _. The Senate yefterday publifhed a General Am. nefty for all political crimes committed in the Pays de Vaud. The punilliment of death pronounced againft the Chiefs Raymond and Marcel, will be commuted for perpetual banithment. That pro nounced againft the reft will be changed into ba nilliment for ten years: condemnation to irons, and prifon will be mitipted. The Special Tribunal has been fuppreffed. MUNICH, Attn. 2t.—The difference exifting between our Cabinet and that of Auftria becomes every day more interelling, and gives reafoa to apprehend liollilities between the refpedive troops. General DVROI has taken the command of the Bavarian army affembled on the right bank of the Inn, which is daily receiving reinforcements. He occupies a line tiom Riechenhall to St. Nicholas and Hall. A body of referee is Potted at Villhoffen. —The Eleaor has refilled to ratify the convention concluded by Genaral BARTELS with the Auftrian Generals, without being firft authorized, and ac cording to which the bifhopric of Mau is not to be occupied for the prcfent by any of the contrac ting patties. Since that time the Auftrians have gone farther ; they have placed a garrifon in the comers of Pallltu, to prevent the Bavarians from taking polleffion of it. After this intelligence ar trived here, the Elator caufed all the troops which ! could be colleaed in this quarter to march, with orders to repel force by force.

According to a new law, a fo ciety is to be eflablifhed, which will have the pri. vilege of fithing for whales in the neighbourhood of the Cape of Good Hope, and on the coatis of Af t ir, which the Americans and Englifh have done for fume time with great fuccefs. Every in habitant of this Republic and of the Cape may have a (hare in this fpeculation. The Ships del tined for the filery mull be fitted out in tlris court. t. y ; after the term of two year s no vefrels but !thole conftrueled in our own docks will be em iployed for this purpofe.

AMSTERDAM, AUGUST 23.—The intelligence C...., Cur:rf rtvn.l 111 Ilill 11111.1 yttnruhlo In the cantons of Sawicz and Unterwalden the ' diforder daily increafes, and it appears that the chiefs who have the chief power in their hands are determined to carry their plans into execution by force ; on the 6th of this month tilde Chiefs held a meeting with thofe of the canton of Uri, in which they refolved to defend their rights in com mon by every means in their power.

NaUMUOURG, JULY 3o.—A feflival, called the Fe'llya! of Cherries, to which the people are Much attached, is 'now celebrating here. In the year 1432, when the Hullites threatened this city with fpeedy dcarufhion, a Citizen, named WOLF, pro poled to fend to thefe cruel enemies all the chil dren between the age of (even and fourteen years, wrapped up in pails. Their Chief, PRocorlus Rasus, being moved by this fpeaacle, fpared the city. The children returned, holding in their hands green branches, and fhouting out Viaory I As the Huffites had treated them with fruit, this feftival has been celebrated during 300 years, by regaling the children with fruit, and making them walk in procelfion through the town. Dancing in the meadows, entertainments under tents, mufic, and illuminations, have brought to our reeolleaion that peace, that union, and that fimple and fincere joy by which our ancellors were diftinguifhed. FRONTIERS OF TURKEY, JULY 30.—A1l Bark has been in a [late of agitation for tome time pall, in confequence of a fingular incident, which feems to turn the heads not only of the Chriltians, but even of the Turks. Three females who call them felves the meffengers of three Saints, St. Gregory, St. Nicholas,and St. Lazarus,travel about through the country preaching to the inhabitants, reproach ing them with their vices and depraved habits, and threatening them with divine vengeance unlefs they change their way of life. They confider the drought which has prevailed for fome time pall, as a punifhment, the forerunner of the greatell evils, unlefs the people return to the paths of vir ture and the praaice of religion.

In dry feafons the Millers empound the water for the pnr• pore of working their Mills, which the Company contend they have no right to do. On Thutfday a meeting of the parties took place by appointment, and the queftion in difput: was coolly diteuffed, and, after ibme time, it was amicably fettled. It was too late to prevent Mr. ERSKINE'S havi ng London, fo that he only has the trouble of his ride for his fee. Mr. ERSKINE left Manchelier on Sa. turday afternoon for Prelion. Of the determination of Government to prole• cute P Ambigu, which we noticed on Saturcla: , in confequence of the libels fuppofed to be contained in it againft the perfon and authority of the FIRST CONSUL, there is no longer any doubt. M. I'EL• TIER, the Editor, has, however, fignified his in tention of fuppreffing the publication ; and it is imagined that the French Minifter here, fatisfied by this mark of obedience, will interfere to pre. vent the Attorney General from proceeding with the profecution. The &ft three numbers of this produaion were certainly diftinguifhed for refined wit, farcallic humour, and galling irony. The FI RST CON stn. willies that all his troops fhould fwim, both infantry and cavalry. In vat fequence of which, fince the commencement of the feafon, the Mailer Swimmers of the School fur Swimming have given leifons in that an to the foldiers. It is raid, that on the 23d of September a large body of troops will fwim acrofs the Seine in the pretence of the FIRST CONSU L, in order of battle, with their baggage, &c. We venture to afferi that no one has done more than BONAPARTE himfelf towards rendering all at tempts to invade this country completely abortive. Is there now in England one tingle if:cot-giggle la. coin who vvithes to be ruled by the prefent French laws? Is there LIM in Ireland one Rebel remain ing, who would, in cafe of actual invafion, join the French flandard ? If there are fuch men, they deferve well to be flares. The liberties Tome newfpapers take with the &ea and ekatla of great men are truly ;hocking.

A complete tranflation by Mr. Ai KIN will appear in a few days, accompanied by upwards of an hundred large and interefting prints, ft!- . fintle, of the originals ; but fo eager is the public enl iofity, that, to meet it, an Abridgment in two 06tavo Volumes is offered for fale,with only (even of the Plates, and thofi: of a reduced lire. As M. DENON travelled as an At-tilt, and his text chiefly confills of elucidations of the Prints, it is obvious that a Tranflation, unaccompanied wit the chief part of the Plates, is but the thadow I
