FRANCE. PARIS, SEPTEMBER 13. INDEMNITIES IN GERMANY. COTE OF BAVARIA IN THE SITTING OF THE 31ST OF AUGUST. His IMPERIAL MAJESTY did not give his fanc tinn.to the conchifurn of the Both of Arril ; but in vited the Diet, by the Decree of Imperial Corn million, of the 26th of June, to come, in prefe rence to all other meafures, to a final decifion re• fpeeting the objets which remain to be fettled by a particular arrangement, in order to complete the peace of the Empire, and to co-operate in that manner for the definitive conclufion of this impor tant affair. His Serene and Electoral Highnefs acknowledges, with the lincereft gratitude, the pa ternal fentiments expreffed by the Supreme Head of the Empire in that declaration, and feels him felf impelled, in confequence of his IsrpEitiat. MA. JE scv's demand, to Rate with his accullomed can dour his'opinion, both with refpeet to the princi ples and the manner which ought to be adopted in order to regulate the objets which remain to be fettled. The Treaty of Peace concluded at Luneville by his IMPERIAL MAJESTY in his own name, and in that of the Empire, and ratified by the Germanic corps, again confirms by the 6th Article the eel lion of the left bank of the Rhine to France, fuch as it had been fettled at the Congrefs of Raftadt, but it alto guarantees by the 7th Article, indem nities to the Secular Princes for their loffes by that ceflion, in conformity to the principles folemnly eftablithed on that fubjeet at the negociations of Raftadt. According to the notes exchanged at the Congrefs of peace between the Plenipotentiaries of the French Republic and the Deputation of the Empire, thefe principles are—" That the States of Germany fuffering loffes, than be indemnified on the right bank ofthe Rhine, and that fuch in demnities (hall be effeCtuated by the means of fe cularizations in the interior of the Empire." Thefe two principles having been adopted and exprefsly confirmed in the fail Treaty of Peace of Luneville, by the paternal precaution of bis IMPE RIAL MAJESTY, are, in virtue of the 7th Article, confidered as the principal balls recognized and fantlioned between France, his IMPERIAL MA JESTY, and the Germanic body, and fhould, pre vioufly to all other confiderations, be exprefsly de clared as fuch in the new cow/it/inn which is to be taken. It will be Rill neceffary to eftablifh fome precife regulations for the ultimate application of thefe It. Relative to the objeft for which an indemnity is to be given. • 2d. Relative to the mode of indemnification : and, 3d. With rtfpetivo the way of tranfaeting the affairs relative to the complete adjuitment of Peace, which may be fubmitted to the deliberations of the Diet. 111, The objets entitled to the indemnities, in conformity to the de ns of the Diet, are deter mined by the 7th Millie of the Treaty of Lune vale, relative to the fccular Princes who have been deprived of their poffeffions on the left hank of the Rhine by the ceffion of that bank. adly, The indemnities are to be regulated ae• cording to the loffes, which are to be ellimated by Ratiftical valuations, which depend upon the extent of territory, the population and the revenue. The Rates deprived of their territories are to lay before' the Diet the accounts and propofitions neceffary to inftitute more ample invelligations, and to obtain more precife eflimates. Afterwards fecularizations will be aligned to each according to their loffes_; and, for this end, it will be neceffary to eftablifh the principle that each (hail be indemnified; fo that his poffeffions upon the right bank loan be round ed as much as poffible. Not only jullice towards thefe Rates folicits the adoption of this principle, but it is a neceffary meafure, as well for the fafety of the German Empire, and to prevent a number of differences, as to facilitate for the future the in troduelion of new difpofitions tending to the gene• ral welfare of the Empire. As the indemnities are to be effected by means of fecularizations, and con fequently the Chapters of the Empire are to form the mats of indemnities conformably to the Treaty of Peace with the Empire, it naturally refults that no new nominations Iliould be made to the lactic- Rees of the Empire, of any dais, which are vacant, or may become fo, until the definite conclufion of the affair of the indemnities ; but that all nomina tions he beforehand declared null which may have taken place, which ought equally to be weighed in principle, and carried by the faneliJn of his I si- LRI AL MAJESTY. Relatively to the aelual poiref lins of the Ecelcflaltical countries, which will fel ve as indemnities, it will be neceffary, befides the ketilarizations, to wait the modification.. and the more precife conditions which allure their fu• tore fate. idly, As the urgency and the nature of this af fair, on the prompt conclufion of which depends the tranquillity and the well-being of the whole Empire, do nut permit it to be treated in a com plicated manner ~:rd fr:bjea to delays, it may be confided as well as front having regard to anterior epoc;ii,, to a Committee coolly-fed ola Email num ber cf the States of the Empire, which lhall be ch.irgzti to acknowledge after the rules to be eft.t• 2, the lo!f:s and indemnities of each ; to dc tel min? thoce who have a right to thefe 'aft, both as to qii.iatitv and quality, and afterwards to fob rnit to the Diet the tefult cf them to ferve towards the t , . Aft•rr the defir.itive arrangement of the affair of the inalerrinitks, this Committee might alfo be charged oith pi d'eming to the Diet a Itother re pot t ott it:.innt:r in which the elianws to be in troduced by the new order I,f things in the cot:'li• La:ion of the circles and the German Empire, for the confolidation of the Germanic body, ought to he accortipldhed ; paying a due regard to the Se cular State,, whole etnititutional rights might be affenzd by dud meafure. An ulterior explatiatirm is referved a to the nomination of the membc-rs mho lhail e•mpole this Committee. As to other TKints, his Jlighnefs adheres to the cite of Bran denborgh, and refer s to it, with refpe(f to the prin epics and rules Ns are tilelein developzd, in a s-,ry aiile and Ample Jmniner. stPrimnit 'l4. The twenty-four Examiners General, eflablifhed in the different Military divifions, have been fop preffed. They art replaced by fifteen Infpefbars General. Cardinal CAPRAIta, Legate from the Holy See, paired through Dijon on the Bth, and is fuppofed to have arrived in Paris. According to accounts from Genoa, of the 35 it of Auguß, the French had not attempted any de cifive meafure againft Porto Ferrajo. They had, however, a battery, and a corps of two thoufand men in readincfs for aftion. The two French fri gate, were (Jill in the port of Leghorn ; and the En ,, : lifh had feveral frigates and armed fhips cruiz v ing in the channel of Piombino. - The Archduke JOHN fet out from Salzburgh on the morning of the 27th ult. for the Tyrol, by way of Pongeau, Pinzgau, the heights of Gerlos, and the Zillerthal. He is to remain in the Tyrol, in the capacity of Direflor-General of Engineers, and will have the fuperintendance of the fortifica tions already exilling, and thofe ordered to be eolith-titled. General CHATELLER is to aft under his orders. We learn from Vienna, that Count de LASZAN sin( has tranfmitted to the Chancery of Bohemia, the fame note that was previottfly addreffed to the perfons employed under the Council of War, upon the fubjeel of drefs. His Royal Highnefs the I Archduke CHARLES rigoroufly enforces his direc i tions , and feveral officers who had not complied with them, have been put under arrefl. Letters from Vienna Rate, that it is intended to unite in one province Styria, Carinthia, and Car niola, whilft Auftrian Frioule and IRria are to be joined to the government of the Venetian Pro vinces ; and Croatia, Albania, and Dalmatia, to be incorporated with the kingdom of Hungary.— The motives for thefe projected changes are the di minution of expence, and the giving greater force and unity to each part of the internal admini ftration. The projeds of fecularization have fo much alarmed the Abbots and Prelates of Suabia, that they are very prudently difpofing of every thing on their poffefllons that can be converted into money. In the night of the loth inflant, an Englith vef fel of about 200 tons, in handl, was 'handed about a league eaftward of the harbour of Calais. She was at firft taken for one of the Englifh armed veffels on that Ration. A gun-boat which was clofe in lhore faved the (hip's company. Two de tachments of infantry and chaffeurs with a num ber of failors and carpenters, were fent to fave as much of the rigging and other articles as could be carried away, and to fet fire to the vette'. The gun-boat kept up a conftant fire upon them ; but not one of them was hurt, though her twenty four pounders fell confiderably beyond the wreck,which was foon in flames. The reduction fo long talked of in the Dutch national troops is to take place immediately. The Batavian army will, upon the new plan, confiit of two divilions, forming an effedive total of about 25,0c0 men, exclurively of the two German regi ments of Waldeck and Saxe Gotha, and the French troops in the pay of the Batavian Republic. Other reforms are alfo projected; and a great part of the faving thus effeEted, will be appropriated to the rettoration of the Dutch navy, which at pre fent claims all the attention of Government. LYONS, SEPTEMBER 9. General PISTON, the Commander of the rgth Military Divi fi on, let out with thirty troopers to meet the tft regiment of artillery on its march from Pont-Beau Voifin. He read to the regiment the Proclamation of the FIRST CONSUL, and the feveral decrees of Government; after which each company marched for its refpeetive detlination. He felefled twenty-five of the fubalterns, and fent them with the colours of the regiment to Paris. The armourers who were accufed of being the ring leaders in the mutiny at Turin, were put under arrell. The foldiers feemed extremely affeEled by the proclamation which was read to them; and dif. played a fenfibility worthy of French foldiers, whom difaffettion may for a moment millead, but who are alive to the fentiments of honour, and the voice of their country. PROCLAMATION. BONAPARTE, FIRST CONSUL, TO THE SOLDIERS OF THE FIRST REGIMENT OF ARTILLERY. Parii, Auguft 1 S• Soldiers—Your conduel in the citadel of Turin has been heard of in every part of Europe. Our enemies rejoiced at fceing you difobedient to or ders and guilty of crimes. A feeling of profound furrow in the hearts of your fellow citizens pre czded the cry of vengeance. You have performed great fervices—you are covered with: honourable wounds : you have received them in advancing the glory of the Republic—the has triumphed over her enemies, and holds the firft rank among nations! But what avails fuch greatnefs, if her undifciplined children allow themfelves to be guided by the un bridled paffions of a few wretches ! You entered a fortrels in a diforderly and tumultuous manner; violating every regulation, and without paying any refped to the flag of the French people, which was flying there. You killed the brave officer charged with its defence—you marched over his dead body—you are all guilty. The officers who could not preferve you from inch milcondnet, arc unworthy of commanding you. The colours which you defined, and which were unable to rally you, (hall be fufpendcd in the Temple of Mars, and covered with funeral crape—Your corps is diflol ved. Soldiers !—You arc to enter into new corps; in them give proof: of a itria difcipline. Endea vour that it may be laid of you, it was neceffary to make an example of them, but they hill are what they have been, iLr trait and pad children if their couniiy." (Signed) BONAPARTE. Firfl Conful. This proclamation was accompanied by four de reec, two of which relate to the difbanding and re-compofition of the 111 regiment of artillery, and the other two to the arrefl of the mutineers, and the ereainn of a flatue to the memory of Citizen JA'fkMAIN, chief or battalion, who was killed by them on the draw bt:dgc of the citadel pf Tulin. BASLE, SEETEIMIt 10...--LefteTS front Munich ' of the 3d inaant ftate, that the Treaty of Peace and Amity concluded at Paris between the French Government and the Eleilor of Bavaria, runs prin cipally upon the three following fubjeCts : I. The Bleetor will obtain a complete and full indemnity for the part of the Palatinate fituate upon the left Bonk of the Rhine, the Duchy of Julien, the Duchy of Deux Pouts, his polTelfions in the ci-devant province of Alfaee (the diltriete of Bergzabern, Bithwiller, Petite Pierre and Itibeauvillicr), and generally for every thing that belonged to him in the countries united to the French Republic.—Thefe indemnities win be given to him in Suabia and Franconia. a. The Elector will loft none of his polfelßons upon the right Bank of the Rhine, except fuch as he dipoles to cede to the other States of Germany, either in exchange or otherwife. This article feems to relate to the Duchy of Berg, which, from its remotenef' front his other poileffions, he might find it ad vantageous to exchange. 3 . AU his patrimonial properties on the left Bank of the Rhine, and not fold as national goods, will be reflored to the Eleelor, to be peddled by him in future, as all other property poffeffed in France, by fubmitting in every thing that concerns them to the laws of the Republic. FLORENCE, AUGUST 25.—Yefterday the provi fional Government was diffolved, and the Senator Moz a: was appointed Prime Minifter and Counfel lor of State. The Chief Juftice BIONDI, was made Diretlor of the Secretarylhip of State, and the Marquis ANTHONY Coast, Counfellor and Direc tor of the Secretaryfhip of Finances; Coastal, FOSSOMBRONI, and Caw, have been removed ; they are to preferve their refpeCtive titles of Princes and Counfellors, and the latter is allowed a pen lion. The Minifter of Finance opened a loan for too,ooo crowns, which was fupplied by the Nobi lity in lets than three days. This fum is intended for the relief of thofe unfortunate perfons who have been totally ruined by the war and revolution. A reign which commences under fuch favourable aufpices, mull prove hap py. _ The funEtions of the Parmefan Minifter, VEN TURA, have ceafed, and he will foon return to Parma. The greater part of the Spaniards who accompanied the KING to this city, are preparing to return to Madrid. - - FRONTIERS OF RET3SIIII, AUG. 20.—The fpoufe of the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE paired through Riga on the 16th. The commerce of Rutlia ap pears to have now recovered its former fplendour. The exportations from the city of Riga only, down to the end of July,amounted to 6,770,638 roubles; and England alone has had from that city Ruffian produ9ions to the value of 2,509,853 roubles.— During the journey of their Majcities and the Im perial Family to Mofcow, their fuite will not al). pear in mourning. The cities through which their Majeflies will have to pats, will likewife difconti nue their mourning garbs during the time they are honoured with the pretence of their Majeflies. The fame regulation applies to the City and Go vernment of Mofcow, and generally to the whole Empire, from the day of coronation until the re turn of their Majeflies to St. Ptteriburgh. • This period, however, is not to be included in the year of mourning appointed by the Govern ment, which will not terminate until the 20th of March, 18402. HAMBURGH MAIL. CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. Io.—Since the fulfil ment of the Convention of Cairo on the loth of July, no new advices of importance have been re ceived from Egypt According to pi ivate letters, the garrifon of Alexandria had made a fruitlefs filly, in which they had loft a great number of men. The official accounts only mention, that the troops of the ORAN!) VI z tea and the CAPITAN PASHA, immediately after the taking of Cairo, had advanced againft Alexandria, in the vicinity of which their leaders were expelled on the 'llot - this month. General Mr sou has refufed to accede to the con vention of Cairo. The report that the Ruffian Ambaffador, Ge neral TAMARA, has been recalled, is not confirmed. The Spanifh Envoy, the Chevalier de CORRAL, has not yethad his audience of the GRAND SEIGNIOR. AUGUST IS.—On the sth init. a Tartar came to the hotel of Lord ELGIN, who faid he had ar rived from the coaft of Syria with advice of Abe taking of Alexandria; but his account was fo con filled, that it was foon evident it had no founda tion, but a report he had heard in Syria. No Englifh official difpatches have been received on the fubjeet. The principal objeet of the Tartar appears to have been to obtain money from Lord ELGIN for his good news. The report from Smyrna that General MeNou had declared he would fur render Alexandria in fix weeks, if within that time he did not receive fuccours from France, is like wife not to be relied on. We are affured that a great change may foon be expeCted in our miniflry ; fucceffors are talked of for the Caimacan, the Reis Effendi, and even the Grand Vizier. The different parties are very anive ; and thole perfons who have been very quiet fincc the late mif fortunes of the French in Italy, are now coming again on the nage. They are called here the Jacobin Muffelmen. A great mifunderflanding prevails between the CAPITAN PASHA and the GRAND VIZIER ; and all attempts to reconcile them have hitherto proved fruitlefs : the CAPITAN PACHA will not allow any precedence to the GRAND VIZIER. The Porte is now employed in taking meafures for the future adminidration of Cairo and the Egyptian provinces. Prefents have been fent to the officers of the Turkifh and Engliffi army, among hich, betides many diamonds, watches, fwords, &c. are 170 marten-thins, worth from a to 5,000 piaares each. On the 2d the new Hofpodar of Moldavia fct out from hence for JAITy, with his whole family, a numerous retinue, and an efcort of Janitraries. By the way he was attacked by a great body of armed banditti, who took from him all his effeas, to the value of too,ooo pialtres, and detained him and his family till they lball be ranfomed with a (till greater turn. The Porte has fent a confidera. bit detachment of troo2s againil thefe robbers. Auo. !4.—The new regulations alb-. French Government, by which, within thefc days, the burthens of the country with refpat to impolls and the quartering of foldierehave been much lightened, has occationed great joy in the Piedmontefe, and efpecially at Turin. The yearly military contribution of 12 millions, and a number of other taxes are entirely taken off ; and the int polls for the enfuing loth year of the Republic, are fixed at nine millions of livres. GENOA, Ilya. 20.—The fquadron of Admiral WARREN, which failed in the end of July palt Leghorn, is now cruiling off Toulon, and does much damage to the French and to our naviga. tion. Two of our vcifels have been taken near Sardinia. At Malta and Minorca a great number of lick or wounded Englilh are arrived from Egypt. The Holy Father being Aced for his advice about the re-ellablifhment of the Ecelefiatlical States in Germany, his anfwer was, that circum. (lances mutt be fubmitted to. The KIN G of ETRURIA has begun his Govern. ment by borrowing too,ooo fcudi. Fine profpals for that country ! _ - . MUNSTER, SEPT. s.—Yefterday a number of Canons affembled to announce in form the ap proaching elation. The Pruffian Privy Directorial Counfellor M. VON Doti m, has been here ever fince the 3t it ult.

He was faluted by a difcharge of artillery, and took •p his relidence in the Epd coral Palace. To day he went in folemn procei lion to the Cathedral, and to-morrow the elation will take place. SEPT. 9.—The Canons, and the Imperial Corn miffary of Elation, the Count of WESTPHALLA, are now affembled in the Cathedral, for the elec tion of a Prince Bifhop ; and between the hours of It and 12 o'clock, we expeif a Proclamation, declaring their choice to have fallen on the ARCH DUKE ANTONY VICTOR, the brother of kis Roman IMPERIAL MAJESTY. VIENNA, SEPT. 2.—lt is no longer doubted that the Archduke ANTHONY will be eldied to the Bifhoprick of Muller, as he took orders two days ago. The Court of Rut'Ha has not yet acknowledged the new King of Etruria, but on the contrary, fent to Gratz a refident Envoy to the GRAND DuILL of TUSCANY, the Archduke Fearli aeon. The report that the Englifh had taken poffefEor. of the Ifland of Zante is unfounded. Several Officers who notwithlianding the ordi nance of the Archduke CHARLES 2ga:tilt unbe coming drefs, continued to wear their hair a la Tina, have been arrefied. The Außrian thin which was detained at Wid din, by PASWAN OGLou, has been ret at liberty, and received very liberal payment for the coffee. Lord Mitten will to day take his leave of their IMPERIAL MAJESTIES, and the QEEEN Of NAPLES, previous to his departure. A part of the equipage of his Lady has already let out for Cuxhaven. The Janiffaries who have marl,. themfelVes mat ters of lelgrade, have celebrated a folemil thank( giving in the principal Mofque, for the fuccefs of their arms. The Haram of the Pacha, which is held facred by the Muffulmen, was not violated by the Janif larks. it part of them made their way by means of a mine into the upper fortrefs, and cut down all before them. It is eftimatpd, that in there violent commotions at Belgrade, feveral hundred perfons have loft their lives. Paswati 00 Lou, it is laid, has fent 8000 men to the alliance of the infuigenis in Bel grade. A fimilar infurreetion has taken place at Sabatz ; and throughout all Bofnia the Janifiaries are difcontented and mutinous. As it has been found by experience, that many the funs of the nobility, and indeed the parents themfelves, have been reduced and corrupted by the fpecious new morality of French tutors, an ordnance is about to be iffued, requiring that every tutor 'hall be a native of the Hereditary States, and be provided with undeniable teftimonies of his learning and morals. BERLIN, SEPT. B.—Colonel LEcoco,is returned from Peterfburgh, and has brought with him a letter under the hand of the EMPEROR himfelf to our Katie, which contains the greatell affurance of a lolling friendfhip between thofe two Courts. PETERSRURGH, AUG. 31.—We expel here great changes in our Miniary, in which cafe Mr. MAR ROW will not go to Paris. It teems to be certain that the Grand Duchers ANN, a Princefs of Saxe-Coburg, is to refide for fume time with her parent:, under the name of Countefs ROMANOW. The reafon may be eafily conjeflured. The Prince and Princefs of BADEN let off from hence on the 27th inn. This was not expeded. though it was thought they would go to the Coro nation at Morcow. In our laft Court Gazette. among thole perfons who are to leave this place. are mentioned Citizen Duaoc, Adjutant to the Chief Conful, with his fervant Mu a or, and others, COPENHAGEN, SEPT. 5. —According to the re port of the commiffion, for the benefit of the wounded and the families of thole who were killed in the battle of the ad of April, the whole amount of the money received up to the 18th of Auguft. is 201,279 dollars : befides this, the War-Office has allured to each warrior, who was in the battle, and to whom, according to the War Articles, a pen lion might not be due, one of 84 dollars a-year.
