Very lame Entries of Winter Hofiery from va rious parts of England have been recently made; and the .Boorenfal, or Public Auftion Room, this week, difplaYed itfelf as a Nottingham Wareham' el A lately dircovered forgery of the Slefwick-Hol- Rein Bank Notes, which have an equal currency in tins City with cafh, has made a great noife hero, both on account of the rarenefs of the tranfaalon, and of the perfons who are probably the authors. —Some falfe notes had been obferved for fome time in circulation, without its being poffible to trace nut the diftributors. But fome people having received fuch notes from a Prince of Salm, who lived at Altona, carried them back to him, and he exchanged them, alledging, that he had received them horn fume perfons to whom he could return them. 'ibis Prince of Salm had once a regiment in France, but at the breaking out of the Revo lution he emigrated, and the greater part of 'his' regiment followed him. Of there and other needy perfons, he formed a corps in Weflphalia on cc eonnt of the Englifh, but which, however, was loon after ditlolved. After this, he lived for fome time in England, and when his creditors apply to him he Rill talks of great demands upon that Coun try. Since his return he has refuted at Altona : although he lives in a Pimple Ryle, his income is not fufficient to fatisfy hi, expenditure, much lets his paffion for gaming, For this rcafon he feems to have had recoarfe to bold financial operations; but they were loon difcovered. Nearly three months ago, he went to the Banker WAllauto at Altona, :4nd obtained from, him aoool. Bank Notes far money, raying, that he intended to go to Holtlein, and therefore preferred notes to cifh. Two months after he went again to WARBURG, I aid told hitt. that he had now manild from his j )uniey, anti had brought with him fo many Bank notes, that he fhould not only beg him. to take back the former loon]; Bank notes he had receiv ed iu exclia»ge from him, but 4000 L Bank notes more. Weenie° was s little furprized. and the 'Lore In, as the cirtulation of forged notes had be. \ come the initjed of public converfation. He how ever told him, that he might leave them, and come at four o'clock in ,the afternoon to receive the rnaney, for he had not in much in the counting houfe. WARBURG having examined the notes, found them to be fcrgeti.—He fent them to the Bank at Altona, with notice that he had received tlac notes from the Prince of Siam, who was to apply to him at four o'clock to receive the money, and that`therefore they might take fuch Reps as they fhould think proper. Guards were now fent to Waaauan's houfe, and when the Prince came to receive the money, an order of arreft was pre rented to him. He made force expoßnlations, but he was obliged to follow the armed authority to the chief watebliciore. There be remained till the evening, when a coach was fent to carry him to the house of the Prefident, where his examina tion diretly began. He attempted to escort him felf by raying, that he had received the notes from England m payment, aid that if they were forged, which - he.did not know, 'becaufe he was not a Banker, they might be returned; and he claimed his privilege as a Prince of the Holy Roman Em pire, who, according to the GermanConilitution, cannot be arrefted by another Member without an order from the Imperial Chamber at Wetzlar ; and as there was none Atelt at Altona, that he ought to be difcharged. He however promifed not to leave Altana. The Court of Police at Al . tone fent directly a nseirenger to Copenhagen to make the fubject known there, and to receive fur ther infra Lions. There loon arrived, and were, that nti regard ihould be paid to the German Con- Ilitution, but that be should be fecured, and the bufincfs inveiligated with all RriEtnefs. This order was complied with, andthe inquiry opened, though the refult is not yet known. But it is (aid, that fume Foreigners, and particularly two Englifh. Coen. all re'tding in Altona, are implicated in the bufinefs.' On his fecund examination the Prince took up a quite different ground of defence, and then pretended that he had found the notes on the Pall. mall at Alcune. To a number of inquiries defigned to clear ep the matter, he gave very un rati.fadory and evafive anfwers. but perfilled in maintaining, that be had found that in the place dela ilied. A third examination took .place, in wfiich s the Prince kept to his feeond Rory. and dated; that he had no knowledge whatever of the authors or the forgery. On this occafion he raid, that he would not agree to be judged by toe Duke of 1111..rsow. and infillcd, that in his capacity of a Prince of the Empire, he could only be judged by the Diet of Ratiibon. He now awaits the cle. cition of this Allah, and in the mean time he em plov. himfelf almotl wholly in playing at piquet with the officer by whom he is guarded. The total amount of the forgery ellimated at fit millions of niaiti, and the forged times were circulated both at itamburgli and Holflein. It is confidently aff:rted that the bank a Altona. fupported by that of Copenhagen. is determined to difcount tlicnt to prefti ve as credit.

VIENNA, SEPT. 5. —The arrival of the French Ambaffador here, which is foon expeeted, will re move the apprehenfions of thole who doubt the durability of the Peace. Fears have been enter tained for forne' time, that the execution of the Treaty of Luneville would create a mifunderfibrid ing among the principal Powers of Europe. The indemnities to be granted in Gerniany to the Grand Duke of Tuscany have not been acceded to by the Court of Berlin, and there is a ftrong rumour of an Union between England, itulTia, and Pruffla, the object of which is to prevent the partition of fome of the States of Germany. On the other fide it is raid, that the Emperor of GSRMAXY will form a new alliance ; his frontiers were fortified, and his troops put upon the molt refpeetable foot ing ; every thing teemed to announce that appre henfionswere entertained on every fide, but now the Genius of Peace appears to have gained the afcen dant. The people of Auftria have returned to the arts of peace, and do not appear to expea ano ther war. The canals, the highways, the public edifices, are repairing. The Government Paper riles in value, and the public are now happily con vinced that it *as not in vain that Government called a folemn publication of the Treaty of Luneville, which unfortunately was not the cafe with the Treaty of Campo Formio. The plan of defence which is now carrying into execution in the Tyrol, is not the refult of recent ,circumftances, but is part of a plan which has long fince been'in aitation. Iv is now more than ever neceffary for the Houk of Auftria to fortify the Tyrol, in order to render it a bulwark againft all foreign attack. A circurnftance which appeared likely to inter rupt the good underflanding between our Court and France was, the embarkation of the troops in the Englifh fervice in our ports. 10tu• politicians are aflonifhed at the fdence which France teems to preferve upon this fubjea. They are undoubtedly not aware, that a reprcfentation was made at our Cou rt, th at the embarkation at Triefte was contrary to the articles of the Treaty of Luneville. But when the French foutid that there were only three hundred men embarked, and that the Cbunt de Baum°, Governor of the Town, only aged a pal five part upon the ocbafion, confidence was imme diately reftored between the two countries.-04r Court, to flew its fincerity, fent orders to Triefte, and all our other pions, to forbid the embarkation of any more troops in the Englifh fervice. All veffels were alfo forbid to leave the Auftrian ports for the purpoft of ailing to Egypt or Malta, or to furnia any ammunition on the account of the Eng lifh. All thefe circumftances prove the pacifit difpofitions of the Houfe of Auftria.

STUTOAID, SEPT. i 5 -Llll night Citizen 01•111PAGNY, Ambaflador from the French Re public to the Imperial Court, arrived here with his fuite, and this morning continued his route for Vienna. Letters from Came mention that on the tgth of Auguft, there was a dreadful Norm in the neighbourhood of that place. It began by very vivid flaflies of lightning, which were (tic ceedcd by a fall of rain which inundated the whole town and the adjacent country. The wall which was neanthe fort was carried away by the waters, and the hou(cs which it fupported were deftroyed a great number of individuals of both fetes were buried in the ruins. The Municipality made every exertions° afford theta people relief, btit their ef forts were [midst', and all tbo ferrite they could afford was to give them a deceit burial, Mesicn, Sari. 13.—1 t is alerted, that nego. ciations are at this moment going on between ow Court and that of Vienna, relative to different ex changes of territory. The negotiations turn pay ticularly on ceding to Auftria a Bull diftrie of the Upper Palatinate, bordering on Bohemias and of another diftrift of Bavaria, ranted on the right bank of the Ina. By way of'eompenfation, the Court of Vienna procass to cede to Bavaria throe infulated diaries, fosse bailiwick of the Innviertal, which it gained in 1779, by the peace of Tefchen, and a tSfEridt of the Northern Tyrol. There is reafon to think that theta negociations will be loon terminated. A great number of regiments cantoned in dif ferent parts of Bavaria have received orders to hold themfelves in readinef, to march on tlse lira The motives of this order are unknown, as well as the place of their definition. Yet_there is reafon to think, that they will march into Suabia to take poffeliion of Upper Suabia, and of Come Imperial towns fixed on for the Eleaor's indemnities. The difficulties which hive arifen with refpeft to the fief of Schanfic arc all (aided. The Palatine l which were in that neighbourixhxl. have in c7equence receivedorders to return to Bavaria. The Gazette of this tout of the 7th of this month announced officially the treaty of peace and amity filmed at Paris the a4th of balk month, be tween the French Republic and the Eleaor Pala tine.

There troops have not yet had orders to take rfoffellion of that country. A courier has been difpatched to Berlin to announce the eleaion of the Archduke ANTHONY to the rank of Prince Bifhop of Munfter. We are yet equally anxious and uncertain as to the termination of an affair in which it appears that the German Powers take a lively intereft. We are informed that different corps of Pruffian troops, which occupy pofitions on the right bank of the Wefer, have received orders to hold themfelves in readinefs to march.
