Ycflerday the Gallery of Apollo, containing:tl- e original dctigns of the great mailers oldie lehools of Itaiy, Flanders, and France, was opened to the pablic. The managers of the Man') have re newed a pat t of this valuable collation. The ama teurs will here find feveral of thole beautiful de figns which they have admired in the collations of Jat:ack, Lanoue, Montarfis, Lebrun, Crozat, alit!

To this branch of the exhibition are added a number of th e lar :! clt and moft beautiful Etrufcan vales known, brought from the library of the Vatican, and fome el • tablets in precious [tones, including that of hi cheltcu. LE'? Tlk LIS FROM HAMBUEGN IN THE BULLET::: Di P. 4115. According to our profound publicifls, France will add to the name of Republic, which the de rived from her revolution, the majeflic title of Em pire, which the feems to merit from her military fortune and her political fupremacy ; for the col leetive word Empire fuppoles a union of Rates free among themfelves, but exifling under the prot,:a ing influence of a more powerful Being—hence it I , will be called hereafter the Empire and Republic of flit Gimh. " It is not yet agreed upon what title ought to be g;ven to the Head of the Empire. The word Conful, which feems unfcafonable enough in yuur modern diplomacy, is connected with ideas of an annual power, which of courfe does not accord with any permanent eßabliihment. _ _ " The 'title of Prefident, which is not in oppo fition to the popularity of your new principles, I might fuit well enough the head of your govern ment. But, in order to render that word more worthy of the majellie rank in which France is placed, it is necelfary to precede it with the word fublime, which the opinion of Europe has already confeci ted, whenever the Hero of France is fpoken a. '1 his we (hall then fay, the Sublime Pre:fid-nt the Empire and Rrpublie of the Gauls. " We find naturally, the places which his auguil Colleagues in the fupreme Magifiracy are to oc cupy. The fecond Conful becomes Arch Chan cellor and Vice Prefident of the Empire for life ; the third Conful direds the finances, with the title of Arch 'rreafurer. " The Senate, whole title of Confervative kerns to perpetuate the idea f political dilfenticns, and to invelt it with a legal charafter of opposition, would become the august &nate of the Empire. Regiftering the edies of the Government, and the lifts of the College of Last -, it would alone have the important attribute of voting the public con tributions, &c. " A Lo!lege of Lem , : would take place of thole bodies whole name fecms a revoluti3nary Talif man. With the Arch Chancellor for its Prefident, it would be compofed of enlightened Jurifeorlful4, of &ilful merchants, and dillinguilbed men ofiet ters, whom the P:elident of the Empire (mould appoint upon Cie prefentation of the Senate."

ALELAFDRII, JULY I 3.—A confider:)lc number of robbers,headed by the brothers A a remit; n, Scott o and °the.. s, rf the banditti of Set ra vale, infelted the country aho.rt Tortoni, and commizted many de pr,diCsons on the highway. To avoid the conti nual parfait to winch they were expofd, they r id 1 , . e an ct.:l- f ajlon into the territory.— After latving &vaft::: , A it, the two brothers, :fir temara and Sc..tto, wtre :welled in the town (.1 Sennm, by the vig:lance of the police. Many fid dlers and ge!tc d'armes were killed in the affair.— Their accomplices have taker alarm, nnd returned into Piedmont. Three of theni were anct between S'Aleta and Callelnovo, and attacked by the collum hbafe officers. The robbers, being armed with mnikets, made an obfkinate defence ; eve of them was wounded in the head, and taken to Caltelnovot NUNGART. TRANITLVANIA t it/1M 24.—The HOrlit of Wallachia, Prince MICHIkL Suzzo, who ad fled, has fuddenly removed from Tranfylvania into the Ruffian territory. It appears probable that he reared the vengeance of the Turks for his having Co haflily left Bucharefl, and fled to Cronfladt. The Turkilh Pacha, who is now at Buchareft, has written to him a very menacing letter on this fubjee. Tranquillity will be belt ranted in Wallachia, ;t is here believed, by that Principality coming under the Auftrian prntelion, which will be areal benefit to the inhabitants. GERM" r. VIIINVA, JULY 7.—Their Imperial Majefties are expefted to leave Prelburgh between the 12th and 15th, the principal butincfs having been now gone through by the Diet. Nuarmatiac, JULY 6.—On the t3th of July, the Pruffian and Eleetoral Palatine troops will, it is raid, take poffellion of the territories aligned in certain diflriets. The Imperial Envoy, Count Scu Liu continues at the Court of the Prince Of ‘VUKTZBUKO. Count METTERNICH WINNE utc is alio at Wurtzburg. ITAL r. MILAN, JUNI6 25.—Among the flipulations of the Tr,:aty of Amiens, thole concerning Malta feem to be on the point of being car ried into execution. They write from Naples, that the two thoufand Sicilian troops, to vrhofe protedion the relidence of the Order of St. John of Jerufalem is to be provifionally confided for one year, are ready to embark for that Ifland.— The Ruffian troops who have long been in garri fon at Naples, and who were to re-eßablith tran quillity in the lonian Republic. or that of the Se ven Iflands, have not yet failed. One of thcfe Iflands, however, Cephalonia, had nearly been ex poled to a new Revolution, by a confpiracy Which was to have been carried into effea on Holy Thurfday (April ty), but which was happily covered and prevented. HOLLAND. Hacut, Ju LT I6.—The 14th of July was not celebrated as formerly by the French garrifon here. General VICTOR only gave a friendly din ner to the Chief Officers, and Come other French. men rending in this place, The fervants and plact men declined for Batavia were compelled to emb::rk on the 14a11; and the whole expedition will depart n ithin ten or twelve days. It is more confidently than ever faid, that a de finitive Convention between the French Govern mcnt,Pruffia,and the Hereditary Prince of Orange, was concluded on the zt ft of May at Paris, by the following Plenipotentiaries; General BOURNON VI LL,E, Minitler of the French Republic at Berlin, who was then at Paris, and Count LUCCHESINI, the Prullian Ambalfador. The King of Pruffia, in that Convention, formally. renounces the gua rantee of the Stadtholderfhip of the United Pro vinces, enured into in 1788, recognizes the 13ata vian Republic and Government, and engages to fend an Ambaltatior to the Hague. The Prince of Orange renounces, in the name of his illuttrions father and for himfelf, ail preten lions wl:ich t!tey may have upon the Batavi.in Republic. In the loth article of the Convention is the following nipulation To indemnify the houfe of NalTau-Orange, Dil. lenburg, and Dietz, for the renunciation of t h e hereditary Staetholderfilip, it 'hall have— r.

We are concerned to Rate, that yeaerday even ing the coffer-dam, which !Cried to bay out the Thames from the works carrying on at the NO.V Docks, Blackwall, gave way, by which unhappy accident feveral of the workmen loft theit lives, the rupture having been fo fudden that they could not all extricate themfelyes from their perilous lituation. A gentleman 'landing by law it be gin to bura, and called nut to the men, by which tner.73 a number efcaped. But for this notice a much greater number muR have been drowned. Four, we underiland, have fince been taken out, and ten, it is laid, are miffing. It was repotted that the whole Docks had thus been prema•.urely filled with water, which would have been a National calamity. We are happy to tlate th it Ibis is not the cafe; the works having been :tented by a dam within the one that has given way. it ntanbzr of Engineers an'd work men `are cmplayeCi in thatch:3 up and (tenting the inner darn to pre icut its blowing up by the weight of water it has'now to Main. It is again afTertecl in letters from the Hague.l that on the asth of June, a Treaty was concluded at Paris, by which the Porte grants to France the free navigation of the Black Sea. On the fame authority we learn, that another Treaty was figned at Paris on the 2111 of May,' during the period of the Hereditary Prince of Oaairu refidence in that capital. in which the King of Pauss la renounces formally the guaran tee entered into in the year 1788, of the Stadt- I holderfhip of the United Provinces, recognifes the Batavian Republic, and promifes to fend an Am balitdor to refide at the Hague. The Hereditary Prince alto renounces, in his father's and his own name, all pretenfions upon the Batavian Republic : for this renunciation the Houfe of Nafau Orange is to receive the Bifhopric and Abbey of Fulda, the Abbey of Corvey, the Abbey of Weingardten and its dependencies, and the Imperial Towns of Dortmund, in Wefiphalia, and Yfny and Buckham, in Suabia. Some private letters mention that the Bavarian troops, who were on the point of marching to take poifeflion of the Bavarian indemnities, have re ceived counter-orders. It is faid that, though the Em P F ROIL of Russia and Kin° of Pzussi A agreed at Memel ;to the principal points propofed by France, yet that the two Northern Powers are de firous of Tome changes in points of finaller ifitpor unce, which, however, will delay the butinefs for fume time. • The foreign Journals contain a copy of the Convention between the Deputies of the Valais, and the Minifter of the French Republic, which is one of the molt curious State-Papers ever pub- Med. It begins by Rating, that "the Valais (hall form a/iv:and independent Republic, feparate from the Helvetic Republic, and the adjacent States, under the prote&ion of the three Republics of France, Helvetia, and Italy. It then proceeds to enaa, by a variety of articles, that the Valais fliall maintain and keep in repair the great roads leading through it from France to Italy, and that the French troops (hall at all times have a free patrage. The concluding article fets forth, that " as the Valais (hall have neitherAmbaffadors, Kmifters, nor political or commercial Agents with foreign powers, and that as it (ball only receive thofe of France, Italy, and Helvetia, the Agents of tthe French Republic (hall protea in the countries where they reticle the citizens of the Valais, who may require their good offices." Such a mockery of freedom and independence has not before occur red during the hillory of the Revolution. Here is a fret and independent Republic efiablifhed and acknowledged, for what? For no other purpofe than to keep the roads in repair which commu nicate between BONATAITI'S two kingdoms ! We this morning received Paris Journals to the zoth Letters from Brea Rate, that ToussAIMT•LOU• VERTURE is Rill on board the Hero, where he will remain till the pleafure of Government refpeaing him is known. In the Bulletin de Paris, a paper which poffef fes fame claims to official authority, there appears an extra 4 of a letter from Hamburgh, containing a moil extraordinaty outline of the changes which it is faid to be in contemplation to introduce into the acne' Government. This fcheme will be found de tailzd at length in another part of this Paper. It would be premature to offer any obfervations on this ftatcment in the form in which it now appears. It may, however, be fuppofed that unlefs fome peat change in the form of the French Government were not in contemplation, no fpeculation fo extraordi nary as this would be fuffered to iffue from the French Preis. That any change of the nature de -1 fcribed will be adopted feems extremely doubtful, The Chief Conful already enjoys the utmoft pleni tude of authority, and we can hardly fuppofe that he is fo much a flave to vanity as to with a nominal change, without any fubilantialacquifition ofconfe quence, dignity, or power. The whole plan,as now defcribed, appears quite unworthy of being coun tenanced by the CH IST CONSUL. It is a mere alte ration of names, without a (Ingle change in the con ftitution, from which any thing beneficial could be expt:dled. If BONAPARTE can favour loch delu lions as thefe, he muft neceffarily be confidered in the eyes of Europe a much lefs refpettable per fonage than by his preceding condna he has ap peared. His former aiftions only difplay the ex tent of his ambition. In his defire to prefide over the Government of a great people, there was Come. thing to fecure refped, and even admiration. The change now propofed could originate only from the moil contemptible vanity, Sir JOHN BOR LAS e WARNS!, was appointed Am bafrador to the Court of Peterlburgh, in conk quence of 4n immediate requell to his Majarry from the Emecaoa, that one of his Naval Com manders might be delegated on that minion. The Ambitious Continental Powers will confider the rebellious Rate of the Ottoman dominions as a very favourable opportunity for theirfriendly inter ference; although they may think it prudent to wait a little longer, until the contending parties than have either exhanned themfelves, or, what would be as had, itrcitta(the alliance oftbefs divideil of Empires. • • • CORN MARKET.
