This day a Mail arrived from Hamburgh.— Thc German papers are now fo entirely filled with letters from the South of Germany, and from I'.o is, concerning the indemnifications, that it difficult to find any intelligence on any other fa! j,za. For the moll, indeed, they contain only et,. j..nitres and bold unauthorifed affertions, fre quently contradiaing one day what they had po t el y affirmed for certain the day before. Ac cording to all that appears, however, there Teems be no realltn to alter the general opinion we have hazarded from time to time, particularly ith refpeCt to the Princes likely to be molt fa voured in the plan of indemnification, which is now on the verge of itsfulfilment. Notwithßanding any little mifunderlianding that may have taken place, particularly the feparate Convention figned by Ruffin and France, without the participation of Autiria, the Imperial Refcript, publifhed a few days ago, fufficiently !hews that the different l'os.-..ts are pretty well agreed as to the meafures to be taken ; and therefore, whatever the details may be, or however different from the .expeita tions of force, and the wifhes of others, there can be nn doubt that the whole plan will be very fhordy put in force ; and, indeed, the letters from all parts of the Cruntries in queftion, are filled with ac counts of the marching of troops to take poffeffion of the parts allotted to the different Powers. In bufinefs, Pruffia and Bavaria teem to have tal“.11 the lead, and all the others will probably fpecdily fellow. This morning we received French journals to the sth. BoNaraara's app-ontment to the Con fulthip for life has now ;one through all its formr except the promulgation, which is to take pl-ice on the tsth inftant, his birthday, and alf - that on which the Concordat was figncd laft year.— We fuhjoin the official details, as extremely cu rious, without offering a tingle obfervation on the proceediugs. There journals contain hardly any thing elfe worthy of notice. Five per Cents. 53 1. 5 c. PARIS, •UGUST 3. This day an audience was given to the diploma tic Body. It had begun when the Confervative Senate repaired to the Palace of Government. — The audience was interrupted, and the Members of the Confervative Senate being introduced, Ci tiLCnBAILT II RESIST, the Prefident,fpoke as follows : CITIR IN FIRST CONSUL—The French People, (edible of the great Cervices which you have ren. dered to them, are defirons that the Chief Magif. tracy of the State ihould be fired in your hands. By thus embracing your whole life, they only es. prefs the ideas of the Senate, dcpofited in afesettu confabwa of the tBth Floreal (May 8). The Na ti nn , by this folemn ail of gratitude, gives yon a r.tialon to confolidate nor inflitutions. A new career is opened for the Fiat Conful—After pro- , drgics of valour and military talents, he terminat. ed the war, and every where obtained the moR honourable conditions of peace. The French, un der his aufpices, have affumed the attitude and clairsncr of real grandeur. He is the Pacifier of and the re(lorer of France—his name alone is a great power. An Adminifiration of not quite three years, has almot made us forget that period if anarchy and calamities, which feemed to have dried up the Coerces of public profperity.— But erls remain to be healed, and inquicandes to be ditfipated. The French. after aßoniting the woad by warlike explg.its, ear& from you, Citi tizen Conful. all the benefits of the peace which you have obtained for them. If any feeds of dif. cold Itill ex . .% the proclamation of BONAPARTE'S perpetual Confulthip will make them difappear : all have now rallied around him. His powerful genius will know to maintain and preferve every thing. He lives only for the profperity and hap piocfs of the Trench. He will inspire them with ni.thing but the enthufiafm of glory, and fenti nter.ts of national grandeur. What Nation indeed is more 'left r ving of happinefs I And of what peo ple, more enlightened and more fenfible, can the efteem and attachment be defired? The Conferva tire Senate will participate in all the generous ideas of Government. It will fecond, by its means, all • -LI- -4.,adtich !hall be to we- us, and to extend and confolidate the happinefs which you have brought back to us. It is their duty thus to concur in accomplithing the willies of the People, who have manifeiled their zeal and dif- cernment in fo ftriking a manner. The finahn eon _ fultum which the Senate in a body has tranfmitted to you, Citizen Firtt Conful,eontains the expreflion dick particular gratitude. Being the organ of the will of the Sovereign, they have thought it their duty, that they may better fulfil theinten- tions of the French People, to call in the afDance of the Arts to perpetuate the remembrance of this memorable event." After this fpeech Citizen BARTHELtMY, the Prefident, read the following aa SILOAM! CONSULTUm—extraQed from the Re gitlers of the Confervative Senate, of the 14 Ther midor, year to (Auguil 2, 1802.)

By the Confervative Senate, The Secretary General, (Signed) CAUCHY. The FIRST Cousuc replied to the Senate in thefe terms :••• 44 Senators—The life of a Citizen is at the dif pofal of his country; the French people with that mine flrould be dedicated to them entirely. I obey their will. In giving me this new pledge, a permanent pledge of their confidence, they impofe on me as a duty to eftablith the fyftem of the laws on provident inffitutions. By my efforts, and by your concurrence, Citizens Senators, by the con currence of all the authorities, by the confidence and the will of that immenfe people, the liberty, equality, and profperity of France, will be flub tered from the caprice of chance, and the uncer tainty of the future. The bell of people will be the happieff, as they are the worthielt of being fo, and their felicity will contribute to that of all Europe. Satisfied then with having been called by the order of Him from whom every thing ema nates, to bring back to the earth juffice, order, and equality, I Stall hear my laft knell found without regret, . . and without uneafinefs re fpeaing the opinion of future generations. Senator*--Receive my thanks for this %Wm mature. The Senate has defired what the French people willed, and by thefe means have affociated themfelres more intimately in every thing that re mains to be done for the happinefs of their coun try.

The Scrutiny for Norfolk commenced on Wed nefday.—The following is a flatement of what has already taken place in that bufulefs On Thurfday, the 22d of July, at a (pedal Court, held before the High Sheriff in perfon, a Proteß was delivered in by Mr. Coke, which having been read, and after a variety of Obferva tions by different Gentlemen prcfent, the High Sheriff adjourn ed the Court till Tuefday, the 27th, for the purpofe of confi dering the Prnteft, and the propriety of proceeding in the Scrutiny....On Tuefday the Court met, purfuant to adjourn a eat s but the High Sheriff not being prefent, the Under She ' r ff, according to directions which he had received from the former, further adjourned the Court till Tburfday the 29th. On the morning of that day, in confequence of the abfeuce of the High Sheriff, a further adjournment of the Court till Two o'clock of the fame day, was made by the Under. Sheriff. In purfuance of this laft mentioned adjournment the Conn met at two o'clock, and was opened in due fortis before the High Sheriff, accompanied by Stratford, Efq. as his Af feffor.—The High Sheriff having declared his intention of pro ceeding in the Scrutiny nntwithftanding the Proteft already delivered, Wm. Adair, Efq. in behalf of bine& and certain Freeholders and EleCtors, who had voted for Sir Jacob ARley and Mr. Coke. prefented another Pruteft, the reading and delivering of which was prefaced with a Speech of confiderable ieugth, in which, with great ability and animation, be Rated the grounds on which the prefent Proteß relied, and his rea funs for deprecating any further proceedings in the vexatious and handling meafure of the Scrutiny. He faid, that the pee. tent Proteft was not a repetition of the former, but that it was founded on eircumitanees which lad occurred fince. He con ceived it to be an undeniable polition of Law, that the judicial power of the High Sheriff molt be exercifed by himfclf in Kr im, and that utiles the Law of the Land had exprefily fo pro tided it, he could not delegate his judicial authority to any per fon whatever. That in the prelim cafe the High Sheriff hay ing doted the Poll, and granted a Scrutiny, bad thereby laid I afide his minifterial office, and affirmed the judicial deader. • .. OW. .vanes. sod the mlnifterlal became fevered from the iudiel.l petee, the !!:e4 •licriffihould have himfetf, in perfon.tuperir,teLded proe:eo ines, and that confec;oently any delegation of hi. au:t tc r . ,, f. 4 the Under Sheriff was fuch a difeendluaance of the exere.:l his judicial lima ions as to completely put an end to the pro:ced ing of the Scrutiny.—Mr. Male then read the Pretett. To the HIGH SHERIFF of the County of NOR COL!. The Reprefentatioa and Proteft of William A.iair ant ftete et Plutuptre, &quires, two Freeholders of this Coarey, v.. 1 have given their V cites at the late Ellvaiol, of t..voicci g Lu , at the Shire, to terve in Parliament for the fame, SHEWETII, That the application for the Scrutiny made by certain Fleelot, in the intereit of the Hon. John Woelehouk, atter your waits declaration of the numbers or. the Poll, and the Majority to favour of Sir Jacob Henry Miley, Eart. and Monts Willi on Coke, Efq. was unfupported by any evidence whatever its neceffity. That the Grounds upon which, in confequence et fuel) 3p plicatiom, a Scrutiny was in the firft inftance adeally awardei by you,appear to have been fo far from amounting in your ore judgment to that obvious and decided neccfilty which alone could juftify your fufpending the return of the writ ; that at the time and place appointed by you for holding the faid Scruti. ny, you did not determine that the fame fhould be oroceetled in, but did adjourn the Court for five days, to wit, from Thurf. day, 22d, to Tuefday, the 27th July, for the esprefs purpefe o f confidering the propriety of proceeding in the laid Scrutiny. That on the faid 27th July the Court was held, and further adjourned by the Under Sheriff to Thurfday, the 29th July, yett,the laid High Sheriff, never having been prefent at the fail Court. That on this prefent 29th of July, a Meeting was held a t nine o'clock in the morning , and further adjourned by the Under Sheriff alone in your abknce, and without any audio. city from you. That fuck adjourntnent on the 22d July was, in our opinion, Illegal, being made without the confent of the Candidates, as is respired by the Stat. of 7 and 8 William and Mary, c. a t . Chat the Meeting on the ark of July, and the laid Meeting on this prdent 29th July were alfo, in our opinion, illegal, bring held before the Under Sheriff alone, to whom, in proceeding upon a Scrutiny, no power or authority whatever is gives' by the law of the land, or can be delegated by the High Sheriff to do any one judicial adt ; and becaufe the Statute of the asth of the prefent King, C. 84. empowers the High Sheriff alone to proceed on a ferutiny ; and that the faid adjournment of the 27th and 29th July inftant were alto, in our opinion, coefe quently illegal. We therefore, the underfigned, protefting againft the afore. laid Scrutiny, becaufe the demand of it Was not fupportcd by any evidence of its neceffity; protefting againft the fi.it men tioned Adjournment of the 22d of July, as being made without the content of the Candidates; and protefting agalnit the la* mentioned Meetings and Adjournments of the 27th and 27th Intl. as being contrary to Law, do demand that you, in com pliance with the Exigency of his Majefty's Writ to you directed, do forthwith make a Return of Sir Jacob Henry Attley, Bart. and Thomas William Coke, Efq. the Perfons upon wham it appears, from your own declaration of the Numbers on ths Poll, the Eletbon has fallen. Charles Harvey, Efq. as Counfel fur Mr. Wodehoufe, re. plied to Mr. Adair, and obferved at Tome length on the proteft, contending that by the Law of the Land, whatever power was given the High Sheriff, was alto exprefsly or built:ally given to the Under Sheriff. Mr: Cooper on the behalf of the Hon. John Wodehoufe, was proceeding to A ddrefs the Sheriff on the fame fle, when Mr. Stratford obferved, that it would tend unneceffarily totals:ha the proceedings, if more Advocates than one were beard on tie behalf of each of the ponies. Robert Alderfon, Efq. then addreffed the Court as Crrrfel for Mr. Coke, and emended that the nature and extent of power of the High Sheriff muff he fought for either within the yth and Bth of William and Mary, or in the 2.;th of Ceerge 111. That if we looked for it in the former of thole Adis, aLd fuppofed that all the preceding tranketion had taken place, in what was called in that Adt a Special County, Court, we fhould find that the Sheriff or his Deputy, had no power to adjourn without the content of Candidates. On the the other hand, if the zsth of Geo. 111. was to be regarded as the fountain of the Sheriff's authority, it would be perceived, that that Statute had exprcisly confined the exercife of any power in proceeding one Scrutiny to the High Sheriff alone. On either of which rend:, therefore, all further proceedings were void ar.d illegal, h,caufre the Court had been twice adjourned by the Under Sheriff alone, without even any authority or order from the High Sheriff, and without content of the Candidates. H. Hutton, Efq. as Counfel for Sir Jacob "alley, enforced the arguments and legal infers:need Mr. Alderfon. Mr. Coke then delivered in a demand to the Sheriff to roans biotic': and Sir Jacob Attley. Upon which the Hon. John Wodehoufe addreffed the Court faid, that he felt hisnfelf called upon to &dards the Court atter the Declaration of Mr. Adair, that the meafure of a Setae tiny was to be confidered as vexations and oppreffive, and ana his appeal to the Sheriff to avert, if poffible, filch a mist atone from the Country; for his part, be could not confider fuch a meafure as an act of oppreffion, the at% molt to he e d of was the introdudtion of Illegal Votes. He declared he h.d not come forward from any perfooal oppolltion toddler of the Candidates, but becaufe he had been called upon by a cong , le. sable number of Freeholders to Rand forth on political ground.: alone. He had twee charged with difturbing the peace of the Country, if, indeed, an oppofttion to Candidates of the fame political prieelples as the two Gentlemen who bad late,' refer tented the County, was to be eonftrued into a difturbanee of it, he mutt, for his past, fay, that he thould ever Rand foo Ward and declare eternal warfare to the Peace e the Courier. Mr. Coke (aid, that from the majority of numbers in his and Sir pooh Aftlers favour, declared by the High Sheriff, lie oat juftl&d in concluding that the political principles wheb he pro. fed for many years were not difapproved by the County at large, notwithitanding the confident declarations of oppofinen on the part of the Hon. Gentleman ; that there was no perhin for "Atom be had higher perfonal refpcdt than the Hon Candi date who had oppofed him : that he gave him credit for the confiftency of hie political principles, and that he doubted nee that he would perfevere in them (Certainly, certainle. it op rupted Colonel Wodehoufc) whoever Mould be Minifter; that, notwithltanding the menace thrown out by the Gentleman of Eternal Warfare, he matted, that when the tin' •of cutneft Dame again, his lion. Colleague would feel as (taut end hearty as he had proved himfelf, more particularly, after the majority of the County had jullifted his confidence in its (import. Mr. Coke concluded by laying, that a report had been in cir culation refpedting him, and which bad been traced to Mr. Thomas Cubitt, he therefore would call upon that Gentleman to declare whether he had ever fern, or raid that he had km, Mr. Coke Duke his purfe at the Fle6tors ; that he had indeed loft his pocket book and his money at the commencanun of the Eleetion, but that he bad not worn a mirk for tone wan. Mr. Cubitt denied that he ever had (aid fo, or that there tear any foundation for the report as coming from him. and (aid he mould be obliged to Mr. Coke to mention his informer tc him. Sir Jacob Attley faid, that he had never been biaff.d in his political Condadt. by Mr. Coke ; that he was lure his lion. Colleague had a foal above the attempt. That the latter never knew how he had voted but by teeing him in the Dicifi,n, or . having learnt it in coon:tattoo in the Lobby of the Hoeft Commons or elfewhere; that if any thing could hies him, it would be the generous and manly fupport he had given hint in the prefent Conteft, when he had been fo unexpedtedly or pored,and his charade: had experienced fuel, unmanly and unfair attacks. That he had entered into Parliament s2n independent man ; andthat as long as he merited the (import of the free holders at large, he had no doubt he finial receive it as ho nourably and effeaually in any future cortelt with the HOD. Gentleman, as he had experienced at the late Eledtion. RICHARD CARSON li r.lU tY, Manflonboufe, Sth Auguft, tBo2. Solicitor, Charlutte-row.
