France, Ruffia, Aufiria, PrufUa, and Bavaria have agreed. Pruffia has taken pof feffion of the States of signed to it by the plan of the two great mediating Powers. Auftria has taken polled - Jon of Saltzbotorg, Bereldlolgaden, .Brixen, and Trente, which have been alligned to it by the same plan : its troops were at Palcau be fore it 1144 adopted the laid plan, but the Imperial IlTini:'ter hay declared, that he took poffeilion of it, only to maintain the tights of the Bilhapric of Patfau, until the moment when the Mediating Powers of the Deputation of the Empire !hall come to a determination. The l'ulbc://e has palate(' pretended letters from ont Suit's Canton to the FIRST Cossut. The French Government acknowledges only one Government in the Helvetic Republic. A portion of dicn people then could nut write to him with out putting thendelves in a ti. , .te of rebellion againit their own government.—Mouiteur. FROM THE PARTS PAPERS. VICNNAI AVCIIST al.—Lower Auftria conti nue; to be afili,aed with the drought : on the loth and the t ith, the thermometer role to 291 de grees, (above 99 degrees of Fahrenheit). The plants are burnt up, and the grafs is withered to the vr:ry roots. We have no hope in regard to the fumm.:,r fruits, and very little refpeaing thole even of winter. The trees are (tripped of their leaves : the vines alone are our only confolation. RATISnog, A uouST 25.—The French and Ruf fian Minitlcrs in concert have prefented to the Di e t of ItJtifbon, the projea adopted by the two mediators in regard to arranging the affairs I ii Germany. The Minillers of Pruflia, BA vdria, Wurteniberg, and Baden, have readily ad here.l to it. M. de MEER' k.I.D has occupied, in the mean time, the town of Palfau, not that the Emperor withes to appropriate to himfelf that & place" Int to Ail t h e. Bifhop of Palau to prevent Diet. According to the arrangement propofed by France and Rufila, it is to form part of the indem nities of the Eledor of Bavaria. This. place, in deed, is much more convenient for that Prince than for any other perfon. The houfe of Auftria can have no other intereft than that of guarding its frontiers ; but Paffitu, being on the left bank, is only an offenfive pofition, which would prevent the Eleetor of Bavaria to enjoy independence, and to acquire the preponderance neceffary for main taining the equilibrium of Germany, in which the great Princes are interefted. TUNIS, JUNE 28.—The 23d arrived here a Spa nn (hip of the line of 64 guns, and a frigate of 40 guns. It is conjeaured that thefe (hips are ar rived in confequence of the returning of the pre lents which our Government had received from Spain by means of the arrival of the new Spanifh Conful. In the interim, the guardfhip of our for trefs faluted thefe veffels in a becoming manner, which was anfwercd by the Spanifh (hips, with equal refpea. According to the report of the Spa nail crews, they bad met on their voyage a fleet of 24. (hips of war and tranfports (leering for Al giers. LONDON.

Venice, 564 Livres Picoli Effedtivi per IL fterL We have received Paris journals to the i it inst. They are chiefly occupied with Addreffes to the FIRST Consul.. They contain, however, one ar ticle or two worthy of notice. The Moniteur fines that the affairs of Germany are on the point of being fettled, the great Powers having at laft come to a perfect underftanding with each other. One of the Swifs Cantons having addreffed a letter to the Fiiirr Consul, the Moniteur, that is the French Government, has declared, that fingle Cantons cannot take upon them to write letters to foreign States, without committing an as of re bellion againft their own Government. Colonel HAMILTON is charged by the Britifh Government to fettle with the Landgrave of Heffe Calle' for the arrears (till doe for Subfidies. He is faid to be bearer of fome important propoials from the Duke of YOLK to the Landgrave. The lnquifition, it feems, is to be re-eflablifhed in the Papal Dominions. This is as it ought to be. By fuch proceedings men will be taught how they ought to aa the next time they fee his Holinefs tumbled from his Throne. The Legiflative Body of the Italian Republic has fixed the peace eftabliihment of the army at 60,000 men. The army is to be recruited by means of a Military Confcription, comprehending every man in the nation from twenty to tweuty-five years of age. A letter from Calais, dated zd September, 1802, to a Commercial Houfe in town, contains the fol lowing intelligence We hatten to communi cate to you that the law allowing the tralfit of re fined fugars and coffee in France has been fufpend ed for the prefent, until Government (hall have difcuffed and decided upon the general queftion of tranit : in confequence of which no coffee or fugars, arming after this day, will be entitled to the pri vilege of tratito, but will be fubjeft to the Home Confumption Duties." Private letters from Paris Rate, that the depar ture of General ANDREosst for this country is likely to be 11111 longer delayed. It is (aid that he is extremely reluftant to come here until fame means are adopted to reprefs the freedom with which feveral journalias are difpofed to (peak of the French Government. He will not, therefore, leave Paris till this Winds is in fome way or other arranged. A great number of FrenchGenerals,who are anxious to vifit England, have alfo refolved to delay their journey till A Nna loss! has begun to ex ercife his fundions as Ambaffaclor to our Court. This determination has already been produaive of very unpleafant confequences. The fall of the French Funds is very generally attributed to it, and the rate of intereft in the molt confiderable Banking Houfes has rifen as high as 12 per cent. Peace has not been produftive of the effefts which were fondly anticipated. Public burdens of all kinds, inftead of being diminithed, are augmented,aad proprietors of Government Stock complain that the demands of the Treatiary abforb more than a third of their revenue. The manufafturers are very generally difcontented. They are forced by the high rate of interett to renounce every (peculation ofreat ex tent, becaufe they are unable to procure a fuffi cient capital. The expenfive ettablithment of the Government is anotherfource ofgeneral complaint. The people are afraid tofpeak their real fentiments, but there is much fecret diffatisfaftion, and though the FIRST Corisuz. may, by his abfolute authority, wage the public treafures in fplendid and expenfive buildings, he is feeding that flame which may one day explode in a manner dearuCtive of his power. New expences are talked of, and it is hinted that it is in contemplation to lay before the Council of State a plan for affigning to BONAPARTE - .V V • - • .BRIGHTON, SEPTEMBER 3• This being the grand feafon for bathing, men, women, and children arc enjoying it in incalculable numbers. Among the men, there has been fuck a lack of bathing-machines to the weft of the town, and fuch an anxiety to occupy thee), that many perfons have been induced to ftrip on the beach, after an hour's broil, rather than be difappointed of their falubrious dip. Two or more perfons in one machine, difgufting as it milt always be to the parties, is no uncommon thing. Monday morning an honeft (baker, who had long waited for the troubling of the waters, loft it length all patience ; a double-doored bathing convenience had fcarcely been drawn afhore, when a fon of Mars and himfelf, entering in different directions, formed a junction in the middle of the machine. — The Captain, confidering tht (taker as a lawlefs invader,waxed exceeding wroth, claimed the right of undivided poffealon, and threatened Obadiah with no lefs than inglorious expulfion. — " Friend," Paid the (baker meekly, " Thee may rail as thee pleafes, but I shall undrefs ;" and was in buff in a twinkling, to the total difcomfitnre of the man of war, and the great delight of the bathers and the bathed, who witneffed the rencontre. APROPOS OF BATHING.•.--We know not whether BONAPARTE took the hint from us, or we from BONAPARTE ; but the PRINCE'S Regiment of Light Dragoons parade down with their horfes, and bathe to the weft of the weftern cliff every morning early. On Thurfday morning at five o'clock, the Right Hon. Earl ST. VINCENT, Captain MARKHAM, and Mr. GARTHSHORE, Lords Commiffioners of the Admiralty, with. Mr. MARSDEN, Secretary to Dr. Sir ANDREW HAMMOND, Comptroller, Sir WM. RULE, Surveyor, and Commitlioners HARMOOD, and TUCKER, of the Navy Board, quitted Ply mouth for Portfmouth. The Earl of COVENTRY, as Recorder of Wor cefter, prefented Lord NFLsoN, in paffing, with the freedom of the city, in an elegant china vafe. Wednefday arrived at Liverpool, from Devizes, in Wilts, on their way to Ireland, the 16th !sent of Light Dragoons, under the command of Lieut. Colonel COTTON. The Dowager Countefs of &Film; left Hill. ftreet, yefterday, for Stoke Farm, near Slough. Sir ABRAHAM Hum,. and family arrived at Pa ris laft Wednefday. PETER LA BOVC H ERE, Efq. jun. partner in the houfe of Marrs. HOPE, left Town yefterday morn ing for Amsterdam. On Thurfday Lord CRAVEN entertained his Te nants at the Thatched Houfe, it being his birth day, with a brace of Buds. Every body is anxious to be neat Mrs. BILLING • TON in this hot weather, that Lady is fo full offne airs. The remains of poor Boss' the Compofer were yefterday depofited in St. Pancras Church-yard. Mr. WROUG x rot; is appointed Manager of Dru ry-lane Theatre. In a dittriet near Bengal, we are told that it is cultoti, for a debtor to pledge his wife to his cre ditors till the debt is difcharged. A very handfomc monument has been erdted at lienares, at the public expence, over the grave of the late unf o rtunate Mr. CHERRY, and the other Gentlemen who were traiteronflv nnirdertd in January 1799, by the fangoinai y VIZIER ALLY. As the Gentlemen of the Bar find themfelves fo indifferently accommodated with &liners, on the Circuit, the belt plan they can adopt is to form them elves into a Pie-.sic Society. They might ealily carry their provilions with them, and a brisr baj wmih make a very good wallet. The naked fafhions appear to be upon the de cline. James Firth, weaver, of Batley, in York lhi:.c, htg , I,:trOon in '1 he • Leeds Intellt:7encer, for having itrip i cd hinnelf naked, and run in that (tate tit' :!ie town and church-yard of Dewf bury on ;Ito!tl.ty last. Lail Saturday night two of the Dutch officers being on shot c at Ilutxham quarrelled about a lady, and being heated with wine and rage, drew their hangers and, fought defperately ; one of them re ceived a dreadful cut acrofs his &till, and the other athwart his tour fingers. A little girl in run ning acrofs the iireet (it being very dark) receiv ed a cut by accident, on her arm, from one of the hangers. On Saturday fe'nnig.ht, while a workman was linking the floor of a back fhop, at the head of the Murraygate of Dundee, a part of the ground gave way, and he fuddenly funk about three feet below the original furface. It occurred to him. that he had fallen upon hidden treafurc; and with redoubled aaivity, he cleared away the rubbifh, but inflead of gold, he found the fkeleton of a human being. !'he fkeleton was about lix feet long, and lay only three feet below the furface of the earth; it was aukwardly placed, and no trace of a cheff or coffid of any kind, could be difcovered. It is probable, that this is the remains of a con cealed murder. A curious Manufcript of JAMES HOWE Lis, who was equally a favourite of CHARLES the Firft and his Predecetror, contains the following chara!ter iftic trait of that Monarch's clemency and good nature : a very abufive fatire in verfe was brought to him, and as the pafrages were read to him one day, he obfet ved, that if there was not another Poet in England, the rogue fhould hang for it ; but after all his threatenings, the concluding lines, which were oppofite in meaning to the re, and as follows : Now Goo prefcrve the King, the Queen, and Peers, And grant the Author long may wtar his ears, pleafed his Majelty fo much, that he exclaimed— By my Crown and thou (halt wear them for me; for though they conveyed to thy brain my finful vagaries, yet thou haft fent them forth dreit fo like devils that I do not know when I (ball chufe to keep company with them again, at which many ..wilLzrbir&ijkgrefore do 1 forgive thee, for NAUTICAL INTELLIGENCE.
