FRANCE. PARIS, AUGUST 30. The Duke of Baascif I, nephew of Pitts VI. has obtained from the French Government the refii. tution of all the property which the Hoare of BRASCHI poffefres in the territory of the Cifalpine republic. C. Dvaoc left Peterfburgh on the 25th of July. Before his departure he received confiderable pre- Cents from the Emperor ALESAWDER. He returns to Paris by the way of Stockholm and Copen hagen. The Minifter of the Police wrote to the Prefects on the 23d inflant, defiring them to order all fo reign beggars to quit the territory of the Republic without delay. FROM THE PARIS PAPER& BERLIN, AUGUST 16.— General BRUZNONVILLI, Minitler of the French Republic, has made to our Court, in the name of his Government, new over tures for the ceffion of the Duchy of Cleves. It is aliened that Pruffia will receive, as an indemnity, the ¢ifbopricks of Munger and Paderborn ; that ;his btifinefs is evert already fettled, and that a courier has been fent to Paris with the affirmative aniNver of our Government. Left week an experiment was made at Charlot tembOurg, in the prefence of the King, in regard to a new method of making fignals in the day time by means of rockets. The experiment fucceeded extremely well. We are indebted for this difcovery to Mr. Nsem pea, a Lieutenant of Artillery,' who is the author of feveral other ufeful difcoveries. There never was a greater number of deaths at Berlin, than in the monthf of April, May, and June laft--Tfiey amount to 3365, which futpaffes that of the births by $6B. VIENNA, AUGUST z4.—Several Commercial Hodes at Smyrna hive received intelligence, that a confiderable number of Engllfh and Turkifh veleta have proceeded from Alexandria, to com pel the Dey of Algiers to pay the tribute which he owes to the Turks. ,The letters which an nounce this intelligence add, that the Turks and the Englifh have agreed to unite their forces, when the expedition to Egypt is terminated, in order to put an end to the piracy of the States of Barbary. Since tall Sunday a report has been current that a courier from Conflantinople has brought to the Britilh Ausbafrador intelligence that the remainder of the French army, learning the fate of Cairo, bad capitulated. This intelligence, however, re- quires confirmation. LONDON. THURSDAY, SIPTEMBUL 3. PRICE 07 STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK 3 per Cent. Clads 64 I So—Redaced 4 per Cent. Teligesr S per Cent. 9.61..

Their contents are not very interefling. The fame Bag of truce loon after her arrival returned again to Calais with dif patches. Nothing, however, is allowed to tranf pire refpeaing the progrefs that has been made in the negotiation between the two countries. The Tram Cotsfoidis on the 3oth ult. were at 48 f. pc. c. Another mail arrived from Lilhon this morn ing, but brings nothing new. The free palling and re-palling of our packets feems to countenance the idea, whatever refiriaions may have been agreed to refpeaing Britifh (hips of war, that the mercantile relations between the two countries are likely to fuffer little or no interruption. Earl ST. VINCINT ordered his travelling car riage and horfes to be got ready on Monday by fix o'clock in the morning, his Lordibip intending to let off for Weymouth, to pay his refpeCts to their May 'sr ass. New liveries were made, and the men were adually mounted, when a difpatch arrived from Lord NaLsox, which put off the journey ; his Lord(hip being too aria a difciplinarian to leave town when bufinefs was on hand. The following are Paid to be the terms in which his Mai astir, (as EleEtor of Miaow), gave his affent to the Treaty of Luneville. " Cum ceterit vote.—His Majefty the Kiao of GRE•T BRITAIN. as EleCtor of BRUNSWICK and Lumstiaouitc, admits the extraordinary urgency of the circumitances which accompanied the con eltifion of peace, and which rendered it impoilible to have the co-operation of the Empire under the tweed:ay forms which met have preceded it.— But his IMPERIAL MAJESTY having in his high wifdom, and from his con ft itutional fcntiments, recognize') and given an exprefs affurance that the mode of negotiation which this extraordinary cafe has compelled him to follow, (hall not be drawn into a precedent for the future, and neither can or (hall in any manner prejudice the known and admitted rights, affored by the Conititutien of the Empire, which the Elcaor.il Princes and States cf the Empire pails, of co-operating in all mat tern and negotiations of peace.—His Royal Ma jt,ty, in his quality of ELECTOR of BAUNWICE 7t.j LUNEPIROURCI, does not therefore hefitatc a 7 'anent to vote with his co-eitatcs, that the Treaty LA concluded on the 9th of February, at ssith the French Republic, by his Ist • RiAt.

Guildhall, at which were prefent the Loan MAYOR, four Aldermen, Mr. SheriffCatmu,andreveralCommoners. The Court ordered Mr. EDWARD Box LET to officiate as Town Clerk during the vacancy. Mr. DOYLEY Rated, by way of petition to the Court, that, on account of his declining years, he wifhed to retire from public bufinefs, and fubmitted his long fervices to the confideration of the Court ; which was re ferred to the Committee appointed to confider the nature, duty, and emoluments of the office of Town Clerk ; and whether any, and what altera tion is necelfary to be made therein, and the future management thereof. Notice was given, that the report concerning the caufe, the Bailiff of the Bo rough of Southwark v. the Sherif of Surry, would be brought forward at the next Court. Mr. Gas aarr Rated his intention of renewing his motion at fome future Court, previous to the Meeting of Parliament, “ to petition the Legiflature to &red furveys to be taken of all the grain in the king dom, as nothing Ihort of that would reduce the prices. ,, It is highly fatisfadory to us to be able to an nounce the general revival of the cotton trade here, in fuch fort, that not a fingle weaver who is able to work has occafion to complain of want of em ployment.—Blarkiwns lutta A correfpondent rays, that the trial at the late York Affixes, concerning an occupation road, ap pears to him to have been very much mifreprefent ed; for inßead of deterwsisiag, that an occupation road, is a road for all purpoks' Sir A. CHALMERS gave it as his °patio! only, that the road in quelion, was not an occupation road merely, but a road for all purpofes ; but the final determination of the point was referved for the opinion of the Court of King's Beach. Yefterday a Court of Direaors was held at the EaR India Houk, when CHARLES MILLS, Efq. was eleited Chairman, in the room of Da v to Sco Cr, Efq. who refigned that fituation. Join' ROBERTS, Efq. was Eleited Deputy Chairman. This Gen tleman !erred the office of Chairman In the year 1776. Meffix. ROBERT MACURE and JOHN HlLL wan were (worn in as tuft and fecond Affiftant to the Company's Surveyor of (hipping. We learn that his Excellency the Governor of • the Cape of Good Hope, in confequence of the prefent fcarcity of grain in that Colony, has Hilted a fecond proclamation to the farmers, requiring them to bring up to market, in Cape Town, what ever quantity of wheat they may am have in hand, referring to themfelves, for the consumption of their families, a provifion for three months. A commillion is to be fent forthwith into the country, for the purpofe of enquiring into the caufe of the fcarcity, and deteeting thole who may have occa , limed it, there being every reafon to fuppofe that the 'nodal of the IA year's harveft was a good one. We are extremely happy to announce, according to priiate letters received from Bombay, that the Mahrattas and the Rajah of Coriar, whole country has been aimed depopulated by war,have at length adjufled their differences. The Rajah has engaged to pay two thoufand rupees, and the Malirattas undertake to reftore twenty bullocks and buffaloes, which they had taken. The Malirattas had pol feffed themfelves of Mirzapoor, the ancient capital of the country. The Rajah of Coriar is about fizey years of age, and has all the appearance of the Cohan Mountaineer, but he is of a very mild difpofition. A letter received from Bengal informs us, that the Siamefe army confifts of a very conficierable number of cavalry, and is accompanied by up wards of four hundred elephants. An alarming infurre,tion is Paid to prevail in Columpi, whither the army is direeting its march, together with the Southern army, which had been encamped at Por cella. Zsra•us SHAH has at length formed an alliance, offenfive and defenfive, with the Seiks.— He has engaged to give up all the places he re duced in his late incurfion into the territories of the Seiks, and to make compenfation for the ra vages committed by his army at Lahore. The natives of Candihar and Cabul are amongli the harciieft in Alia, and ZESE•IIN SH•H has a well. appointed army of soo,ooo men. We underltand that a plantation of indigo is railing at Amboyna, at which place it has been produced of the fineft quality and colour, but the growth of it has been difcouraged by the Dutch, with the double view of preventing the natives from acquiring fo much wealth by the manufac• Lure of it as might embolden them to Affert their independence. We underfland that the Company's (nip the Lany Buitots, lately arrived from Bengal, ha, brought from thence a very voluminous colleCtion of Public Records ; among which arc the wills and inventories of deceafed perfons, exhibited in the Supreme Court of Judicature, at Fort William, for the year ifioo. We have to notice particular ly the facility which is given to the traniiniflion of paper. lo interefting to the relatives of deccafed perfons, and froM which information of the utmoft importance n:ay be ob:ained.

The following account from Bombay has lately been received bf exprefs :--Previontly to the even ing of the ad of January, when the fltips Curt mow and Louis, under the command orCaptains Wicas and.Dkaxa, left their pilots, then of the Sand Heads, Captain D. had, at the particular requell of Captain W. agreed to keep company tftl within the latitude of Madras. They kept com pany until the morning of the 4th, when, be tween the boars of fix and feven, being in lat 18. a 6. North, and long. 86. 53. eat, a fail of a futpi. cious appearance was difcoverwi. The wind being from N. N. E. we were Rending S. W. the Cel l' mow being diftant from the - Louis about one league. At this time the granger difplayed the Frcnch flag at her mizen peak, and, when within 150 yards, the difplayed from her mizen-top gal lant-matt send the Moody fin, and made prepa rations to board. The helm of the CRIMP on was put to ftarboard, with a view of raking the enemy, but she ptivatecr, by miftake in the helmfman, at the fame inftant put her helm to port, fo that up on the Louis's firft-broadfide being fired, and be fore the could gather head-way again, the enemy c.tme Rem on, and thus, while the (hips were en tangled, the, after a fevere confliet, fucceeded in boirding, and captured the Louis. The CRiTS. stow in the interim efcaped. The privateer proved to be the Alerte, mounted t 8 guns, and manned with no men. She had feven men killed and two wounded. The Louis had three men killed and feven wounded. On the 28th ult. Admiral TaUGUIT arrived at Madrid with his principalofficers. It is believed that he will proceed to Cadiz, to take the command of the combined fleet. The Ofen Gazette, of the lath ult. gives the following intelligence :—" Some weeks fmce, an armed Englifb vegel entered Porto Reain I (ilia, and another entered Fiume; they purchafed a great euiantity of cotton and hemp in Italy, and in the Cifalpine, and freighted feveral Yee): with it, as well foraign as German. The yeas were on the point of putting to fea, when a courier from hi, Majelly, the EMPEROR, brought orders to Fiu• ma to prevent them from failing. A commif- Goner of Government confequently proceeded from Fiuma to Porto-Rea, and laid an embargo on -L.e Paid velfels. The Englifh fhip oppofed this mea fore, loaded her guns, and put her crew, confift , ing of three hundred men, under arms, threaten ing to reduce Porto-Rea to afhes, if a Tingle thot were fired from the town. By this menace, to gether with the arrival of two Englith frigates, the inhabitants were obliged to grant that liberty to the veflels of which they had attempted to de prive them; and it appears, that in a little time they will put to fea."
