This morning a perfon from the Chancery of the Empire fet out hence for Ratilbon, to inform the 1 , Diet, that the Emperor, as the head of the Em pire, had already ratified, in the name of the Empire, the Treaty of Peace concluded with France, -and that he expeeted the Empire would now lanflion it fpeedily." • A courier arrived here, from Rome, the! day before yefterday, with intelligence that the Pope had elated t 3 new Cardinals, viz. the Papal Nun cios at our Court, Rti rro and ALBAN 2 1 and the Pre lates SIVAO, SALUZZO, CARAFTA, BRANCADORA, GABRIELL, MONTIKA, MASTRORZI, CARONI, SCOT TI, della PoRTA, and PACCA. At the time of this promut ion, General Leo ro tn BERT NI ano ther French General, and feveral French Officers were preient at Rome, who behaved with the ut mait decency, and not at all agreeably to the wifhes of the Roman Jacobins, who, on teeing the French uniform in that city, exprelfed the utrnott joy, but were informed by the French (nerals, t!tat they had not to expert the leaft fupport from them, in cafe they fhould be inclined to Marl) the tranquillity of Rome. In cor.requenet of the armiftice, concluded between France and Naples, for thirty days,the Neapolitan troops have evacuat ed the Ecclefialtical States, but tiu ports Naples are not yet thut against the Enblifa, as had been repot RATISBON, MARCH 9. The deliberations which commenced on the Ktil init. terminated on the following day. The refult of thefe deliberations is the amclufions of the three Colleges : d , The general Aftemhly of the Empire has Peen, from the Imperial Court decree of the 2t It of Fe bruary, and its two fupplements, what weight) reafons induced his Imperial Majefty to content to the determined propofal of the French Republic, that the Peace of the Empire fhould alfo be ad. jufted and signed by his Majefty at Luneville, in his capacity as head of the Empire, after the ex ample of the negotiations for Peace at It aftadt and Baden ;" and, in the fecund fupplement, to lay it before the g eneral AfTembly of the Empire, in order that the Electors, Princes, and States, might ratify it in the name of th:. Empire, and on ac count of the encreafing damages by which any further delay would be accompanied, to batten fuels ratification, as much as polfible. The Ge nera/ Affembly of the Empire has taken into ma ture confidention the Imperial Court decree ; and, as from the repeated affurances of his Imperial M. city , that Aliembly need not entertain any ap. prehenfions with refpeet to the undoubted right vet: ted in the Eledors, Princes, and States, to co. operate in treaties of Peace, the Aftembly has been induced (by the ponerful motives which have de termined his Imperial Majefty to conclude a Peace in the manner laid before the Diet, and by the melancholy fituation of Germany, fo much wall ing for, and wanting, Peace) to decree, that the Peace concluded at Luneville, on the gth of Feb. by his Imperial bfajelly, in his own name and that of the Empite , with the French Republic, be ratified, and an aet of opinion fpeedily drawn up, humbly thanking his Majefty for his patriotic en deavours and interceflions, and entreating him to ratify and to confirm the faid treaty of Peace, in his own name and that of the Holy Roman Em pire." The above conetifam was this day ratified by the Imperial Principal Committer'', and immediately difpatched for Luneville, by an Imperial Courier. During the hit fortnight it had been reported, that the Imperial Ruffian Minister with thebiet, Baron Kt. ur rst, and all perfons employed under him, had been recalled to Peterlborgh.

Wirtemberg hls at length paid the contribution for the months of November and December. Hopes had been entertained that this contribution, which at firft was fixed at I f floo,ooo livres, but after. wards lowered to 1,000,0e0, would be remitted eatirely ; but General MOREAU, laetly palling through this city, and finding that no arrange. nients had yet been made for pay ing it, expreffed the higheft difplcafure, revoked the mitigation be fore granted, fixed a term of five days, and de ,clarcd that lie would quarter fix half-brigades, as execution, in the country, and appoint an admi nifiration, until the whole fun ihould be paid--e viz. i,500,000 livres from the Duke's Chamber, 400,000 from the States, and eOOOOO from the Ecclefiatlical Council. Immediately after his de parture the trcafuries, ftores of wine and corn, exc. belonging to the Duke, the States, and the Ecclefiallical Council, were placed under feats and guarded. Similar matures were taken in the country, but only with regard to the Duke's form, the States and the Ecclefiaitical Council having declared their rcadinefs to pay the money. A let ter was afterwards received from Stralbjirgh, from the General in Chief, by which he renewed the mitigation of 800,000 livres, and-prolonged the term for payment. The States and the F..celefi ailical Council, fupported by confideruble found means fot paying the money; and on the, part of Government meafures were likewife taken for procuring it. The fcarcity of money in the public the is was fuch, that the Statei Ott laft of fered 8 per cent. annual Intereft. On the third the guards were removed from the property be longing to the Duke, the States, and the Church, and the feels were taken off. The French Com millioners in the country have likewife received or. ders from the Commander General in this city to refign every thing they had taken in theircullody, and to proceed to their former Rations. General MO/eau arrived here the night before laft with his Staff. FRANCE. PARIS. MARCH The night before IA the ?dingier at War gave a grand fete to celebrate the arrival of peace. 'The Confuls were prefent, together with the Minifleri, the Foreign Ambafradors, and many other perfons of diftinelton. It began by a mile piece full of wit and fprightlinefs, and highly appropriate. Supper was then ferved up. Tables were bid out for this purpofe in all the apartments of the fira floor. Af ter (upper the company went below ftairs, and the ball began. There have been few more btilliant. The dreffes of the Ladies were beautiful, rich and elegant. In a word, every thing contributed to embellifh this fete, the objeS of which was fo in terell ng. " It is reported that the Pruifian Government hai iffued orders to flint the port of Embden againft all Englifh wails. It is likewife Elated in the laft letters from Berlin that Lord CARY s Foal- has pack. ed up all his baggage, and defers his departure for London only till the arrival of a courier from his Court. STATE OT EGYPT. Citizen COSTA Z is arrived from Egypt in the packet St. Philip, which has 'moored - in the port of Frejus on the 26th of March. She failed from Alexandria on the 4th of February. On the night which this packet failed, two frigates, la Juftice, carrying 44 eighteen-pounders, and la Egyptienne, mounting 5o twenty-four pounders, having on board fifteen thoullind milikets, flirty thoufand cannon balls, and live hundred picked men, of whom a hundred were cannoneers of the line, ar rived at Alexandria. There frigates failed from Toulon the 24th of January, and completed their ~ o yagc in tea days. As far up as the 4th February the plague had not made its appearance in Egypt, though it raged in the camp of the Grand Vizier in Syria. Thus, during two fucceffive years, Egypt has been exempted - from this fcourge, which removes every doubt, and entirely fettles the point, ' that the plague is not at all endemic in Egypt, The following „are the principal articles com municated by Citizen Cosraz, to the Chief Con :—s6 On the 3d of February, the day previous to our departure, we faw the two frigates PEgyp tienne and la Juftice enter into the new harbour of Alexandria. They had only been ten days on their vovage. The troops of artillery and the re cruits which they brought with them landed on' the fame morning. Next day the frigates paffed into the Old Harbour, where the anchorage is better, and which affords greater convenience for the difembarkation of the ammunition, of the arms, and artillery, with which they are loaded. " The Army of the hall is in the moft th ing and the moil retpatable lituation. The fol dier preferves his accoutrements with a degree of care of which the oldeft foldiers declare they have i feen no example. The beauty of the uniforms, the drefs of the officers, and the richnefs of their arms, give to the military parades a degree of eclat which excites the furprize of the French who have re ' ccntly arrived from Europe, where it appears to me that, for fome time pall, the fair& ideas have prevailed of our fituation in Egypt. • " The commanders of the different corps rival each other in bringing to perfettion every depart ment of the fcrvice. Military operations have loft much of their alfivity fince the battle of Heliopo. lis, and .the recapture of Cairo. The troops em ploy their leifure in the handling of anus, and in obtaining a greater knowledge of manteuvres.— The officers hare regular meetings fur the Rudy of the theory of ill military art. There reigns in every corps the moll eta& difcipline, which is ren dered more fad by being the fruit of the reafon of the foldier, of long military experience and efteem for his commanders, who fince the commencement of the war have been the companions of their dan gers, of their labours, and their vitiories. this army, rendered illuftrious by its triumpl i sl is n the Welland the Eat, will be a model of inkrac lion and difcipline, as it is now of heroifa; andale- VOilan to the caufe of Its country. " General Mseou'is inceffantly employed in xelditog to the comfort of the foldier i the meafircs which have teen taken For the melioration of the bread have had the molt complete forcers. Thr hofpitals are provided with all forts of neruffaries for the lick ; thole in them are treated with the m ama care. Of this I !hive the belt moans of in formation, both by perfonal obfervation which I made, and by the report of foldiers who came out of them. There is no longer any want of medicines, finee Citizen BOUDt. r has had the ma nagement of the general pharmacy of the army. The army are in the bell poflible fpirits ; they feel that thcy are refpon fi ble to France for th pre. fervation of Egypt, and that they could not cot fent to abandon this important poffeifina without betraying their duty, their glory, and the interefis of the Republic. Their opinion on this point is fo fixed that they will not allow another leis patriotic or lefs generous to be exprelfed. The pay of the foldier and every other del art meat of the expenditure are re4ttlarly difcharged. When I quitted Cairo, the fervice of the fix-it four months of the year nine were paid, and the miri, or territorial impofition, was not entered upon. Ci tit= • Esrlvt, Direaor of the public revenues, with whore eiaanefs you are fully acquainted, has frequently informed me that he expected to be able to meet the demands of the year without having recourre to that principal branch of the revenue OF Egypt. The stiri was beginning to be collected; it will be paid with facility. The extraordinary overflowing of the Nile protnifes the richell crop for this year. It is 4 euflom obferved from time immemorial by the cultivators of the land in Egypt not to pay it without havhig received the ballina do I tt perfon fubjea to the ioiition on whom this ceremony has been negl4ed, would fufpet that be was to fuffer from it, and would be fubjetft to extortion mare than impoll. "When the French commanders made their firft requifition, they withed to perfuade thofe Cubic& to the tail° delft from a pritaice as-unreafonable as unfuccefsfal. Now the Egyptians begin to per ceive that a 'fpOnOneous payment was not attend. ed with the fame danger under the French Govern ment ; Many villages have demanded of General Maxon pelrmilGon to pay the lair% direly into the treatitry of the French overfeer without the inter vention of military force ; and above all, without that of the Cophis, whom they mortally abhor.—. The produce df the arceffary iinpolitions has been fitliertor' to what was Calculated at their ethiblifh ment: • Everything that has been capable ofbeing armed has been let up to public auction; this rnethodlial bad all the effea that was expelled from it.

They finsdly hope that the hoftile powers will at length endeavour to conclude a peace which you bold out to them with fuch marked candour and moderation. The army has read, with the moil lively gratitude, the ac count of the negotiations entered into in England. for the purpole of concluding an arrniftice. 'They there had an opportunity of obferving of what weighty importance was the poffeilion of Egypt in the political balance; and they are fenftble of the interell yon took in its ppfitkm, for which they charge me with returning you their mail grateful acknowledgements.
