OCTOBER. 29.—Yefterday. at nine o'clock in the morning, a genet al meeting of the Senate And principal ntirgeireS ct this city took place at the Town Hall, and lolled till near fie o'clock in the afternoon. This meeting had, amongli other things iinder confideration, the pro poled cetlion of - the rights, privileges, and reve nues, which his liaitannic Majetly, as Eldtor of ilonover, potieire3 in the Cathedral of Hamburg'', its precinfts, and the dependencies belonging to it on the liarnlnirgli terr:tory. 5. 1 -ome notes from the Regency of Ilzi.over, and from the King of Dttimark, in quality of Duke of Hoillein, gAinll the plati, were ali taken into confident- Lion ; but the 1...:';u4 of the debates tlill iemaius a profound fecret. _ . RATIF SON, OCT. 26.—The Deputation of the Empire has held to day it; twentieth fitting. The Nlinifter has made cornTnunication of im Ad drcfs from the Imperial Plenipotentiary. After the perufal of this, the Minifter from Bohemia made, in the name of his auguft conllituent, a de claration to the fame effe&. This is the purport: " His Imperial Majefty ha• been plea: •.l to announce, by his Sub-dele,tate to the Deputation Enna:dinar) , of the Em pire, that having, agreeably to his anxiety for the maintenance of tranquillity, removed every obi - cache which oppofrd the rue s:cf.% of his nerntiations at Parts, and havit,g taken for the bafis t., the eisitclutive arrangement the f .pplesoca:t of indemnity of fercil by the Fivnic7i Government Heir, for his Royal kligh nefs the Grand Duke of l'ufcaity, his Majeliy hopes to fee in- Itantly eftablithed an arnteablz undt !ttanditie, which will have for its Moue: late eorifequence the molt fatiifaaory regulaticn of t!.c hunref. with which the Deputation is charged. Since from the nature of :his afrair, liniserial Majefty mutt re ((rye to himfelf a final approbation, helus nn doubt hut that the co-El:ate% s hich form a part of the Deputation, will con tent thernfelvcs with this preliminary declaration, and will re po;i: in him, oti that head, the confie.em e which he thinks he merits, after having given fo many rn)cfs of the ancerity of his view., and the moderation of his fentiments." Tie majority of the Deputation received this dc claration with marks of the moil lively intereft. The following Note from the Swedi(h Mini(ler was delivered on the a 3d ult. " The tinderfigned Minifter Planipotentiary of his Nlaj fly the King of Sweden, to the Gener:.l Diet of the Empire, thinks that the moment is come to break 01 nee, fince the Germanic Empire s threatened with new dr.tsgers and diforders,and that in cireumflances which ought to h ive induced all the Monbtrs of the Empire to unite with their Ca ief to maintain an indepen dence, without which it can neithee have dura!)le tranquillity nor falay. Th King of Sweden, who finds himfelt in the happy fituatinn of not having fufLiined, during the war, any lof• in his countries, is too generous to with for an encreafe of Terr»ory in German? : and in coa t .quence has had nothing in view hut the real welfare of the (l rmanic Empire, the main tenance of its laws and indepen ce. Anima - od with thee fen: Talents, his Swedi Is Maje ft y muld, however, have heti tated to take a decided part in the airs of Germany. If he had not learned that Foreign Powers' crmeddled with the prefent important dikuifion, and if he ha n ot thought himfell, in con recuence, fully authorized, is his uality of a State of the Em pire, and a guarantee of its Con tution, to take a part in it alfo. The Kin' acknowledges the' met-airy of changes in the Germane Empire as a confeq •calte of the equitable principle which has been adopted; that is to fay, that the Princes, who, from the ficklenefs of fortune, in the Late war, have loft their old poffeMons, thou al be indenutiacd by otl-.4.: countries ; but he thinks alfo, that, a;.e• or • ing to tb at p inciple, the proceeding thould be carried on with the groateft equity and juftice, and that thofe only who have Cult:lined tifealveL;T:s thould obtain indemnities. His bdajefty confatzt i:, in fine, a duty to tepeat to the Genes/AZ:in* of the Eppire the ob!"..rvation, that, by the taking th ferrcilZepofferion countriesof which are not yet legally adjudgld to one or other of the States, a eaegerous and illegal example has been given, and that it is in asofequence reccirarY to guard againft the refultal fuck proceedings by an es et-vie declaration. (Sfgned) ICANUT fILDT." FR *NCR FORT, NOV'. z.---The Council of Berne, on the 27th ult. appointed to the command of the place of Berne, the Chief of Brigade, HOPI', Ci. &UM/ Infpeeor of the Militia of the Canton of Cberland, in the place of Citizen FERRIER, Chief of the Fiat Aux:liary Demi-brigade. The Diet of Schwitz Rill maintains fovereign command in the cour.tries occupied by the patriots. Their pa tr.des frequently extend to Baden and Mellinguc. The rioops of the Little Cantons are not yet dif banded ; their advanced polls, which were on the 27th at Schup(heim, in the Canton of Lucerne, re ce; Yed, at four o'clock, orders to fall back upon the field of battle. The patriots on the 27th an nounced their at at Langnau, but they have changed their intention. It is faie that Monfietir AUF-DER MAUR has refolved to make as attempt upon Berne, but it is doubted whether he will Me rced. Deputies from Emanthal are come to bolt cir troops. Advice; from IL ow flee, that the patriot , having refufed to fuffer a battalion of the tc.;th Demi-brigade to pals, an engagement took ;lace between them, the refult of which was, a lofs of nine men and two pieces of cannon on the part f tlte patriot!. Letters from Aran announce that city had lately a narrow cfcape from being pillaged by a band of patriots. It owed its latity merely to the aCtivity of the PrefeCt, who repaired to Nlity, of Schoftland, and perfuaded him not to let his troops enter. The derachment of the 2d auxiliary Demi-brigade has brought to Bente a convoy of four pieces of cannon, and is waggons of military limes, which the patriots had concealed in Übe; land. Two French (Keels let out on the akttli, one for St. Maurice, and the taller for Lau. faone, with orders to the divilions commanded by General, TVRE A U and St:RAs to fet out immedi ately on their march. It wili be recolleeted, that the Commune of Morat had a very confiderable contribution laid upon it by General A NDERMATT, fa. having received the Helvetic troops in a hoftile matincr upon their entrance. Hostages were token to feenrelhe payment. They have been tamed to their 'families, and the fum entirely fill given.— We find, in our German Papers, force curious de tails ovon die counter-revolutionary me:ifures vhich Nave been taken by the patriots. For ex ample. th e Council of Education, provilionally sit Lucerne, has banished from the feinalls''all the ncw elementary Looks; it has for bidden the Ililofiaphy of KANT to be taught in them, and ordered, for the re-eflablifhment of rood Morals, 1114 c -the fcholars should refurne their mmties.

At a late hour IA night a Mail arrived from Holland, and this morning French journals to the 6th inflaut, inclufive. It appears by a letter from Ratitbcn of the 26th Oaober, infected both in the Dutch and French papers, that the EMPEROR of GERM.IN'i has, in concequence of an arrangement propofed by France, communicated to the Diet that he will concur in the general plan of Indem nities which they will be called upon to fanCtion. The Frcneh Government has thought proper to yield fomething to the Houfe of Auftria, as an equivalent for ito lois of influence in the new divi fion of territory, and of political privileges in the Germanic Empire. The Fltsr Cosstm probably found that he was no longer 4ported by ALEX• ANDER I. and found it prudent to tcmporife. This compromife, the particulars of which have not yet tranfpired, makes an important change in the afped of affairs in Europe ; and may probably be the means of preferving to Europe a (late of repoie for a few months longer than former appearances feemed to indicate. The accounts from Switzerland arc important. The pact i4,ts, fo far from having difbandcd them felves, as former accounts hated, have begun to entrench themfelves in the mountainous parts.— Hating refuted a palThge to fume French troops r.car 13rugg, an anion followed, in which the patriots were worfted. The affair does not km to have been of great importance in any other point of view than as ferving to (hew the oppofition which a great part of Switzerland fecms deter mined to make again ft Confnlar arrogance. The lifoflifrur continues to afErt the complete fubmiflion of the Suit's, though the accounts from laalle hate, that the Diet of Schwitz had, in a meeting convoked to take the matter into confide ration, determined not to obey the commons of General RAPP, which is hated to have produced no effect in any of the eauiern cantons. The whole accounts, however, are rather confuted, and even contradidory, which may, in fomc meafure, be attributed to their coming through a French me dium. The !Ingle f.i& however, of the patriots not having fubmitted or dirperfed as was before afferted,flows with how much c. ut 'n the accounts in the Paris Journals thoald be received. The good underhanding announced to have taken place between the EMP Eton. and BONAPARTE cannot fail, however, to have a material influence on the af fairs of Switzerland. . . The French feem aware of this circumflance, and the Government, for we confilfr the columns of the Ificalteur as its voice, has af;.tin indulged in a long unqualified (cries of inveaive ag.titilt this cnuntry, which is now /tiled THE FACTION ! We have Lid it befoie our Re4ders.—lt needs no comment. We cannot, however, abritin from copying in to a fubfequent cohlmn, fume remat ks which ap pear in the Tr:l9 Bri.on of this mornin: 7 , on the pre vious French Manifefto of the 29th of Lill month, as connthed tl'e arriv:tl of the French Am bafrador. The new fhoull bc viewed allo as connected with the fame event. FR , ) , .i R1.7: 7 . BRITON. " The Public cannot be Imp: ized at the little fenfation which the arrival of M. ANDREOSSI has excited—lf his arrival bar! been precc,:cd by Aa., on the part of the F.cuch Gav;:rnment, which evinced the real Spirit of Peace, his appearance would have difrufed univtrialjoy—bilt we do not want the name of Peace, l'ut the tyrrnce of it—We do not want the mcre'refidence of an Amhafrador amongli us, but the Relations of Amity. " JIM. ANDRLOSSI Comes to aatt the preten fions detailed in the Manifello of rte ilioniitur of Oaober 29, it is not difficult to predia, that his flay here will be filet t—lf lie comes really with a conciliatory difpofition, it will be met, on the part of his Nlajelly's Miniflers, with fimilar fentiments. FIR.•T CONSUL, in waving every point of eti qiittte, and fending his Ambalfador, means cer. tainly, as much as loch an Aa alone can do fo, to 11(.!d out the appearance of a Pacific Difpofi tion ; but we fhould have trotted much more to the fincerity of fuck a difpolition, if no fuch Arti cle had appeared in the Official l'aper of France, as that to which u c refer. We confider that Paper as extremely important, becaufe, compafog the fentimcnts it contains with the proceedings of the FILST CONSUL, we cannot but look upon it as an avowal of the principles upon which be is deter. mined to aa—and if fo, while that determination galls, we fear there can be no real Peace between this Country and France. " It hdis been rigid, however, that the document terefls, and incompatible as the principle it con twins, would be to the continuance of Peace be. tween the two Countries), if they were the real fentiments of the Government of France, may mean nothirg more than a retaliation upon the People of this Country, for permitting the free difcuffion of the Principles of the Confular Govern ment in our Newfpapers, and the revere reflations which have been publifhed at different times, re fpeeting the conduct of Frames towards other Powers.--We fhould he happy to perfuade our felves, that this is all that is meant—but if this is really all that is intended, it is a little unfortunate that this Paper finuld have appeared in the UffFciall journal. The new Englith Newfpaper, elablifhed precifely for the purpofe of affailing our Govern ment, would have been the proper vehicle for foci an attack—. There we might have been told, that we had eleframded the ilufirians—a3andoned the R' rani —and mairaered the Danes, without our attaching any importance to fuch a charge—But when The Monittur (late: thefe things—The Moniteur, un cle:l3°d to be publifhed under the eye of the Go vernment, and to contain nothing which has not been approved of by the highefl authority—and this only a week before the arrival of the Ambaf fador of peace—we muft-paufe before we can af. fert, that M. ANDat:osst really brings the Olive branch in his hand. It is not improbable that the CHIEF Cotaut. may mean to fay, in fending my u ior, I intend to thew you that I with for peace.—ln vi fiting my ports, I mean alfo to thew you, that, left it thould be necetrary, I am making prepara tions for war.'—But Minifters will confider mea fures not firreietu, and will look, not to appear ance: but to fans. We do not like to argue the in ability of France to make war, or the ability of ou:. own country to fupport it—fuch tlatements are 'dually greatly exaggerated on both tides, and ge nerally tend to michief—but we can (late abundant reafons to prove, that peace is the intereft of both, and that it never was more fo, than at the prefent ' period. France does not want an extenfion of ter riLory, or of influence, or controul. Her peolle have heard enough of conquefl, of triumph, and of glory ; and have felt enough of mifcry. They want quiet and comfort, and happinefs. England preferved her Couttitution through a moil ar duous canflift. ,She has affifted many of the other Powers of Europe to defend their Independence ; and the terminates the contefl with her refources great and improving, and her dominions entire,— What obje3 has the in the renewal of war ? Allfr can detire is, to preferve her Safety and In dependence. If the meafures which France has lately taken endanger thefe, they muff be refilled. The policy of France ought to didtate to the CHIEF Cox s tn., not to take meal - tuts which have this , ttnuenLy. The policy cat England imperiouily .at!s upon. the King's Minifters to oppofe fuch meafures, and, if necetfary, by force of arms. We are among the lovers of Peace, but of l'e.tce only, on the duration of which we can place confluence. Without that confidence, Pelee is d_ nitute of all its 'clue. The queßion now is, how can it belt be preferved, fo as to afford us its real advantages ?—Not, we contend, by flifering the FIRST Coss di. of France to proceed upon a fyitem of aggrandizement and interference with other nations, and admitting that we have no con c,:rn in filch proceeedings ; but by a firm and re ((Ante rernonlirance againft this fyitem, and a determination to recut thole meafures wnich are calculated to enforce it. If the Pole confideration now was the prefervation of peace between Eng land and France, filch a conduct, we confidently believe, would be more likely to attain that object, than a fyllem of conceflion. But whether fuch a condua leads to Peace or War, it is that only which, in the prefent Rate of things, can proznif: :o the country the prefervation of its eiTential ir terelts, and it is that only which, we are confident, his Majeliy's Minifters will purfue." PARIS JOURNALS, FROM THE MONITEUR. Pasts, Nov. s.—What is the interen which the faaion, enemies of Europe, take in the infurgent ? It is eafy to fee that they with to make of Switzerland a new Jerfey—to form in it plots, to keep in pay traitors, to difperfe libels, to favour all criminals, all the enemies of France, and to do in the Eaft every thing they have contlantly done in the Welt by the fituation of Jerfey. By thefe means they would have, the very peculiar advan• rage of ditlurbing the excellent manufalures of Lyons, which is reviving from its ruins,and which flretches an iron hand over the balance of com merce, in order to make it incline in favour of the French inclufiry. What is the interea of France ? It is to have only good neighbours and lure friends. In the South, the King of Spain, an ally of France, both by inclination and intercQ, and the Italian and Ligurian Republics, which enter into its federative fyttem. On the North and gall, Switzerland, the good The fuSion, enemies to E. dpe, wilf) wifti tu tate Europe, will not find in there Rates either ac complices or toleration. There agitators, lanwever, do not fleep ; they have made attempts at th. fame time at G.:noa, in Switzerland, and in land. Their plots were acquiring corfillence Switzerland, when the proclamation of 8 BrurnAir, rebored tranquillity. Every thing has returned its natural Rate in that country, which ~:i11 pry fent on all Ulu France fur rounded by peo p l e v ,h,, arc friends. This Rate is the refult of ten years of triumphs, dangers, labours, and immense facrifices. peace of Lunevilie, the preliminaties of London, the peace of Amiens, inßead of changing any thing, have rather confolidated it. Why at prefent attempt what they hav e hi t h ert , tried without fuccefs ? Do they think we h ave L e . come cowards ? do they think us weaker than w e have hitherto been ! it ea j ,cer for the wave: of the Ocean, to overturn the rod which has braved their duringlforty centuries, than for thefaition,enemes of Eurcit and of mankind, to rekindle the war and all its horror;, :.s the bofom of the 11 7 0,and in particul ar to maie the Frmea people turn pale for a moment."—Alonikur. The FIRST Coasts'. mutt have fet out this day, Friday, to proceed to Havre. He will pay a viflt alfo to Fecamp, Dieppe, and Beauvais. His fpe e dy arrival in that city was announced on the ad Ina. to the inhabitants by a proaamation from the Pre. f.. of the department of L'Oife. Nov. 6.—The Archbifhnp of Malin:, M. d e RoopELRURE, has fufpended from his funaions t Prieft of his Diocefe, becaufe he exhorted a dying perfon to rellore to the church the ci-devant Ecele• fiaftical property which he had acquired.

In futgre there will be a French rendent at Augfbonrg. C. BACHER, now at Ratilbon, it is faid, till that port. It appears that the cities of Ratilbon and Nuremberg, will have an or• ganiiation like that or Hambourg. Five per Cents. 54. BASLE ) OCT. zB.—We have received porit;s: intelligencethat A LOYS R EDI NC has again convoked the Diet of Schwitz, and read to them the rum mons of General RAPP, inviting them to dirTolre themfelves. After an animated difeuflion this al terably determined not t obey the fummons, and to remain united. The Proclamation of the FIRST CONSUL indeed has produced no (Arc& in any of the Eaftern Cantons. The Authorities eftablithed by .he infurgents at Zurich, in the Petty Cantons, in the Grifons, and at Lucerne, arc (till in vigour. The Provifional Government -f Zurich palled on the 25th init. a Decree which prov,s thAt it is in no maßner difpofed to lay down its ufurped power. It has diirolved all the Tribunals of the Di arid, as well as the Tribunal of the Canton, and has flip plied their place by a Provifinnal Tribunal in each Diarift,compofed of a Prefident and eight Judges. The day before yefterday, the firli hattolion of t4el o4th i the fecond of the 16th, the fecozd tithe 42d, the first of the Both demi brigade, and the 13th regiment of chafteurs, with pieces of ar• tillery ‘ entered this place. Letters from Arau flare, that on the night be tween the 26th and 27th the tocfin was founded in feveral of tht villages of Argovia. The reafacts affembled in great numbers and took up arms. In the canton of Baden, the ineurreflicn becarat general aifo. The rown of Arau was under the greateft alarm when cn the m:uning ci the :7th, five companies of French infantr y entered with two pieces of cannon. Other detachrnen!s occupy Olten, Arbours, and the whole country. We learn from Zurich, that the Canton in the greateft diforder.

The Diet of Schwitz cc - nit:its, it is lA, to dirrolve tliemfelves ; but tl:ey in re firing to acknowledge the authority fil.e llei• vetic Government. This obiiiiiacy mini be attended with the molt difaf'Aciis coricqt:eccc' to our country. The French troop, h a ve n ot yct entered the Grifons, as was t epos red.

The iirii which he made of it was, to repair to ON reetional authorities, and to fummon t hem t 6 folve. They did fo, but referved their r;;;!.,:s, as the Diet of Schwitz has done.
