PARIS, AUGUST 3T. The Casette de France contains the following' analyfis of the protocole of the Diet of.Ratifbon, which the Moniieur had previoufly fo fully detailed : The firft quellipn relative to the pure and fimple ratification of the Taeaty of I.nneville having been decided to the mutual fatisfaCtion of the Emperor, ' the Empire, and France, nothing farther remain ed for the Diet to dn, but to enter upon the grand and difficult queftion retpefting the execution of the feventh article of the treaty. Auftria, in qua lit), of Dire for of the College of Prirces, made accordingly on the 3oth of March a propofition, that the Diet fhould adopt a conclufum on the mode of the co-operation of the States of the Empire to terminate the work of peace. Salzburgh voted fivq, and propofed to make an application to the imperor to take upon himfelf the tole manage ment of this important affair. The objea of this prelate undoubtedly was to confide the execution of the 7th article to a Prince, whofe religion, the place he occupies in the Empire, and his connec tion more or lets, direet with the Ecclefiaftical Princes, all teemed to call upon to be as tender of their intcrefis as was ac all confiftent with the dif a-lrous fituation of Germany. This method of !To taling appeared fo plolfible, that all the Eccle floflical Princes voted in the fame manner as the Arcl.bithop of Salzburgh. To thefe it is necefttry to :Ada tome Secular Princes, as the Prince of Salm, La Tour and Taxis, and the Counts of Suabia. lilt while thus generally contenting to refer the whole affair to the Emperor, each Ecclefisflical prince retained a private individual opinion on thole points which appeared to be involved in a c onfiderable degree of obfcurity. Bamberg declar ed that the principle of colleCtive indemnification Lai been eflatalifhed by the kventh article of the Ti.!,tty of Dineville. Wurtzburgh demanded a t .• co nfolidation of the German Emvirc—a thing rt the greatefl difficulty under the preicnt ciretim lt.inc,..: It berries expreffed a with that the Eccle f %cal Princes fhould not be dilittrip.:d in the en j.,vment of their Foods, rerznurs cr rents, and pro. pacd, that in eaet the l'lmp,:ror Ihw:l3 not take • the ktticmcnt of t!,i, buqacfs, a depute Spires in cafe of this refufal propofed, as fuppliants to the head of the Empire, the Electors of May ence ant Saxony alone. Conftance expreffed a fimilar opinion. Trente, on the other hand, was of opinion that in the event of fuch a refufal, a de putation as numerous as poflible fhould be appoint ed, and did not at the fame time heOtate to de mand an indemnity for the confiderable lofs of the Marquifate of Caflellaro, which was torn from that Bilhoprick. Liege, after having ftrongly recom mended to the Supreme Chief its preffing interefts, after having voted that he fhould have the exclu five fettletnent of the peace, demanded that certain principlts of equity and juftice fhould be agreed upon, according to which the pacification of the Empire, and the Settlement of the Indemnities, a fubjeft at once delicate and complicated, fhould be condufted. All thefe prelates had demanded that they fhotild contribute jointly to the indemnities for the left Bank, but the Bilhop of Liege was the only one who had propofed that this lhould be done bY advance, and that they fhould decide provifionally the points which guaranteed to the Ecclefiaftical Princes their exiftence and their fortune. The Abbe de Prum, that is to fay, the Elellor of Treves, demanded that penfions fhould be given to all thofe employed in that principality. The Prelates of the Rhine made the fame propofition in behalf of all the difpolfelfed individuals; thofe of Suabia required a (mall deputation in cafe of the Emperor's refufal. Strafburgh wifhed that in this laft cafe there fhould be added to the Electors of Mayence and Saxony two or more Princes, but was anxious to exclude from this deputation thofe who, had treated feparately with France to acquire poffelfions, oia feerlarifotionit ; this was the only (late which expreffed fuch an opinion. Bale de manded the prefervation of its hithoprick and its chapter, which had exifted for fifteen generations. Slavilo was defirous of penfions for life to thofe who Thould,fuffer. Salm Salm protefted againft any facrifice beyond what it was willing to accede to, under any pretence whatever. Confiance ex preffed anxiety for the maintenance of its religion. Auftria, which felt, without doubt, the difficul ty of taking the management of an affair .fo ex tremely delicate, had , voted for an extraordinary deputation, confining of k fmall number, com pofcd of the two Eleetors of Mayence and Saxony; or in cafe this propofition fhould not be adopted, it wifhed a .deputation of four States. Bremen, which had voted for leaving only the initiative part of the bnfinefs to the Emperor, was for a deputa tion confining of Mayence, Saxony, Auftria, Ba varia, Magdeburgh, Bamberg, Bremen, the Courts of Viteravia, Ratifbon, and Auglburgh. Henne bergilpropored that the affair fhould be decided by the general Diet. Hohenzollern was in favour of a deputation of two Eleftors and two Princes.-- But a vote which was adopted by feveral fecular Princes was that.of Bavai ia, which willed to join to the Emperor, the King of Pruffia and the Em peror of Ruflia. Saxe Gotha Schwarzburgh re ferred the affair to the Diet. Heffe-Caffel, Anhalt Weimar, Saxe Eifenach, voted in the fame man ner as Bavaria. This vote appears wife, becaufe it referred the decifion to Princes who were ca pable of fupporting it. Wurtemberg voted near ly in the fame way as the Ecclefiaftical Princes, as far as regarded the Emperor. The majority ha ving thus voted fossieferring , the fettlement of the peace to the Ethperor, the College of Princes con firmed this refolution by a condafine, dated the 3oth of April, rBo i. By this conclufum the Emperor was requefted to prepare the propofition and the arrangements, and to fubmit them to the decifion of the Diet. This laft modification, propofed by a confiderable number of Princes, was calculated to defeat the (Ned in view, namely, the accelera tion of the important event of peace. The powers of the Emperor being thus limited, this Monarch caufcd it to be declared, that it no longer:depended on him to approve of other modes, which might have been highly proper to accele rate a conclufum of Tome kind or other, and that of confequence it belonged to the Diet to propofe for his ratification a rendisfum, complete as to all the points to be regulated. This anfwer, which left things undecided, was given on the 26th of June, tBo t. Auftria, in a particular note former ly prefented, had demanded that if he affair was referred to its determination, it might be referred with unlimited [sowers. This demand was eluded, and fince that time the affair of indemnities Has only been a fubjeft of difeuffion betwixt the Cabi ets of Berlin and Vienna. It is now known that the complaint of Citizen Bac 14 rp. to the German Diet, on the fit'ajeft of the Engin levying troops in the Empire, was occa. (toned by the Chaffeurs of Lewenftein, who are in Englifh pay, beating up for recruits at Newbach. Notwithtlanding all the reprefentations of the Hanoverian Regency to the Prutlian Minifter, Ba ron de DoH►t, and General Kt,/ isir, in order to procure for the inhabitants of the Eleftorate Tome diminution of the burthen of maintaining the Pruf fian troops, it has been a fecund time intimated to them on the part of the Court of Berlin, that the fubfiflence mull be continued as long as they occu py that country ; and it appeals that they will re tain pofreffion of it until the final adjuftment of the indemnities The opinion is general through Weil phalia, that the Pruffian troops are about to occupy the Bi(hop ries of Muniler and Paderborn, and that thofe States will be incorporated with the Pruffian Mo narchy, in order to indemnify the KING of PIIUS. SIA for his lot es on the left hank of the Rhine. It appears certain, on the other hand, that the Land grave of HESSE CASSEL will receive a large extent of territory between the Win and the Rhine. A decree of the Confuls has delayed for the year ro, the duties impofed upon balls, concerts, honfe-racing, and other public amufements. All the turns produced by the fates of the maga, zincs in different parts of the 24th, 2st h, and 26th military divifions, and 21fo of a coididerahle num ber of hones, are exclufively appropriated to de fray the expence meat - toned by the addition; mak ta the fume& of Veuloo, and the works ere - Julicrs. Cli -ks whn robbed the Rank of Venke have been apprehended :Lt. Ro, -est by a ratty of loldictato Venice. A Letter from Koningfberg, under the date of Auguft 8, has the following obfcrvations " Since Count Pa it tam's difgrace, and his con fequent precipitate departure from Court, feveral reports have been in cis-41260n relative to that fin gular and unlooked-for event. It is known, that, a few days previous to his difmiffial, he had been invefted by Government with feveral new offices, as well civil as military. The morning of the day on which his fate was made known to him, he had a private audience of the Emperor Atszemfiea, which hafted upwards of four hours, and, on his leaving the Royal prefence, he appeared confide rably agitated ; he then told one of the Noblemen of the Court, that he had folicited and obtained permiflion to refign all his public fituations, and his friends caufed it immediately to be reported that his Imperial Maje fly had given him the choice of the Ruffian Goverment, which he might prefer. Such are the conjectures, but here follow the yea- Eons of his difgrace. The young Emperor, con vinced that Count PAN LEN was no ftranger to the 1 event which occafioned the demife of his Imperial father, (whole errors were thole of the head, and by nojneans to be afcribed to the vice of the heart), refolved to banilh from his Court all thofe who had been concerned in the nefarious tranfa4lion." Letters from Berne, of the El ft, Rate, that Citi zen RHemNNAan, the French Minifler, has been recalled, and that Citizen VIN mac, late Ambaf fador from the French Republic to Conftantinople and Copenhagen, has been appointed his fucceffor. Citizen RH ESN HARD, it is laid, will be fent to Bavaria. Difturbances (till prevail in the canton of Schwitz, and the Diet of the Canton has printed its protefiations. The Cantons of Schwitz, Uri, Underwalden, Glarus, Appenzel, and Zug, mu tually communicate their projeas and inftruetions. The Englifh, it is laid, are theinftigators of thofe proceedings. The accounts from Coire are more favourable : among the Reprefentatives they i have chofen, are the Prefident Saw s-Sti.s, and thel.egitlator Sat ts- Sew's. _ _ . In order to diminifh the number of bank notes, and augment the circulation of moncy, the Court of Vienna has concluded an agreement with fome of the principal bankers of that capital, who are to furnifh a certain quantity of gold and flyer ingots. The military eftablifhment of the Houfe of Auf tria, confifts, at prefent, of 360,000 men, who oc cafionanexpendituremuchbeyondits aftual means, particularly at a time when it is burdened with 2 heavy debt. On the other hand, the detention of to many perfons from the employments of agricul fore and commerce, after a period of about four teen years of deßrudive warfare, is feverely felt, particularly in Hungary, Bohemia, and Moravia. It has therefore become neceffary to difband a part of them ; and, in confequence of the advice of the Archduke CHARLES, it is faid that a redudion of 60,000 men will take place before the end of the year. According to accounts from Confantinople, the Court of Sweden has recognized the fovercignty of the Seven United files, which had previoutly been acknowledged by the Courts of Vienna, Lon don, and Berlin. A fimilar proceeding is expected on the part of Denmark ; and a pofitive affurance given by the French troops in Naples, that they will not moleß the veffels belonging to this new Republic, has had the effect of removing their ap prehenlions, and inducing them to proceed with activity in the formation of their Conßitution.

The hopping fellival was opened by a young dry-falter and a pretty fpinfier from Dow gate•hill. The) refreihments prepared were tea, coffee, and cakes—the price of'admiffion was half. a-crown ; and, to do the vifitants juiliee, they all Teemed to contend who fhould devour the greateft portion,of the entertainment. There was a teat ereded for the accommodation of the more ele gant part of the dancers, where orgeat, ices, &c. were adminifttred at an advanced price.
