Intelligence has been received that the Brett fquaelron tailed on the 15th initant, for its defti nation.

His Etrurian Majefly has appointed Chevalier ALEXANDER LEONORI Governor of the Prefides. The laws at prefent in exiflence are to continue in force until further orders. His Majelly, nu account of the infirm (late of his health, has only two le vees a week. It is rumoured at Florence that a change is to take place in the Tufcan code of laws, in confequence of which the punifhment of death will be re-ettabli(hed. The Imperial Commitßon at Vienna is at pre fent occupied in fettling the differences which have arifen between the Duke of Wirtemberg and his States. The principal fubjcn of complaint is, that the latter aged unconilitutioually in making appli cations to a foreign Government. The Chapter of the Order of Malta, which was to meet at Vienna, has been deferred. It is ex peeled that Baron FLACHSLAND will have the fuf frages of the tongues of Bohemia, Bavaria, and Germany, for his eleCtion to the dignity of Grand Mailer.

The inhabitants begin to emi grate ; as there are now two parties, great appre henflons are entertained that that place will become the theatre of bloody fcenes. MILAN, DEC. 7.—The Counfellor of State, PE. TIET, has written the following letter to our Com mittee of Government An extraordinary courier juft arrived announces to me, Citizens, that the Firft Conful has teen with pleafure the unanimity with which the Members of the Govcrn ment and the Confulta have adopted the mcafure of an extraordinary alTcmbly. He has been deeply touched with the mark of confidence which the Cifalpine people propole to give the French peo ple, by lending their reprefentatives to Lyons.- 1-le directs me to affure you, that the Cifalpiae Diet (hall he received with the fame fentiments of confidence and affecftion that have dictated the Convocation of it. As it is defired to be known at Paris with certainty when the Cifalpine Deputies (et out for Lyons, in order to make the neceffary difpofitions for the Chief Conful's journey, I have informed the Minifter for Foreign Affairs, that almoft all the Members of the ordinary Confulta have already fet out, and that the law of the 2111 Brumaire (Nov. 12) has been carried into complete execution." FR taoußG, DEC. I.—The French General WAL THER, previous to his departure, addreffed a letter to the States and Magiftrates of this city, in which he took his leave of them. Thefe two Badies re turned an anfwer in the molt obliging terms. In the anfwer of the Nlagiftrates the following paffage occurs—" Many of your predcceffors have fet out from this place richly recompenfed, in order to in• duce them not to do all the evil in their power ;but, General, you carry with you riches much mole liable, the bleftings of the poor but grateful inha bitants."

The troops of many Powers daily pals and repafs over the territories of their co-elates, without even the formality of a requifition, which the fundamental laws of Germany prefcribe. Al though thole laws may be fufficient to prevent abufes of this nature, it is a queftion how far it I would anfwer any good end, to attempt to enforce them, feeing that the tranfport of new recruits is very frequent, and always followed with freth in fraCtions, of which complaints have been made, but in vain. The AfTembly of the EleCtoral Circle of the Lower Rhine no longer cxitts ; out of the four EleCtors of which it confined, one only, that of Mayence, has preferved a political' exiftence, capable of maintaining his dignity. The only objet which at prefent occupies the at tention of the great and petty Eftates of Germany, is the portion that they may be able to have in the indemnities, or at leaft the influence they may be able to ezercife in the decifion of that impor tant objeet. The Germanic Contliaition is little conneded with molt of the plans which our poli ticians with to fee adopted in the diikrent Cabi nets of Germany. LONDON. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 25.
