DUTCH PAPERS. Pants, Jaw. 16,—The reports of an intended ne• gotiation between the two belligerent powers, do not meet with much credit in this capital. Our funds, however, have had a trifling rife, which is afcribed to thefe reports. It has been Paid, that the negotiations which were likely to take place, and which would embrace all political objeas in chfpute, were to proceed tinder the mediation of a Northern Power, in the capital of a Rate contiguous to France. Time will develope all things. 'There never was a moment more replete with political fhLion, thin the prefent. The Court of Vienna has fent to its Minifler at Paris, the refult of the negotiations, during the lali year, between the Papal Mincio , the Recorder of the Empire, and an Ecclefiati;cal Counfellor of the Elec tor Arch Chancellor : the fame Court has an mint mitted a plan of a Concordat, which was p.

The regiment of Neugebauer marched to the frontier on the roth, and that of Glebeck will arrive here tomorrow. The cordon will remain, even themld the yellow fever ceafe at Leghorn. All merchandixe from that quarter will be refufed admittance for a long while, for fear of its being it idled. Betides, it is to be apprehended, that the yellow fever may again make its appearance in Italy next year, when the warm weather begins.

FROM THE MAte, Dec. 7.—The public papers contain the f !lowing article, under the head of Ra tifbon :—" Several German Princes have been in formed of the happy iffire of a negotiation, hitherto carried on between Auflria and Praia, on the per fonal votes in the Council of Princes of the Empire. The Roman Emperor ufed to create feveral Prices of the Empire. in order to increafe, by their admit= firm into the Council of Princes, the number of Ro man Catholic perfonal votes. This was oppofed for feveral months by the Court of Bailin : but the two Courts entered into a negotiation fence the lag va cancy of the Diet. It is now laid, that an agreement was concluded early in November, adjufting this im portant point. The two Powers agreed on the ad million of a certain number of new Roman Catholic perfonal votes, to reflore an equilibrium between the Catholic and Protcftant votes. The number of new votes is not In great as Aufiria defired : it is, however, greater that Emilia was at &ft difpofed to admit." DISMISSAL OF THE ETRURIAN MINISTRIt.--LetitTS from Florence of the t ith ult. mention the following particulars relative to the difgrace and banithment of Count EDWARD SALVATICO, Prime Minifter of Etru• ria :—On the sth the Spanith blinifter received dif patches from Madrid. He immediately demanded a private audience of the Q2Nen, to whom he commu nicated th e i r conten t s . His conference with her Ma jtray two hoots. At his departure the (ttleen ordered the guards to be doubled before the apart ments of the young King and the Infanta, and to fur ter no one to enter them till further orders. The Mi nifter S A LVATI co having apartments in the famequar ter of the Palace, the Officer to whom her Majelly gave the order, laid he fuppofed the Minifter was to be Coffered to pals. He was anfwered in the nega tive. The Minifter's papers were in the mean time put under feats. At eight o'clock, having returned from a hunting party, and attempting to enter his apartments, he was apprifed by the of f icer on guard, that it was her Majelty's orders that be fhould, with in one hour, depart from the Palace, the City, and Etrurian territory. He earneftly entreated permif lion to (peak with his Majelty, but this favour was peremptorily refufed. He ioQantly fet off in his car riage, but being (topped by the cordon on the fron tiers, he repaired to a country houfe belonging to hi. Secretary, Cu at SIAN°. who had (hared in his difgrace. The ca ife of this pro-ceding had not tranfpired. Se veral of the fervants about the P.:lace, and particu larly two of the cooks, were chi - miffed at the fame time.—Before the C ornt's banilhment he was com pelled to dived himicif of all the Spanifh orders which he wore. WAR Is PERSIA. —Thc Peerfbargh Official Ga zette, of December 14, has publi111:.1 the following report, by Prince ZizlaHor, upun the military ope rations agaiuti the Perfians, of which the fillowing is an extra& : " After the defeat of the Perfians, and the taking of their camp, at Kanagira, Abbas Blida, their Com mander, retired to the village of S c h aura , e i g hty werfts dillant front the field of battle, and called upon his father, Baba Kan, for affillance. During this in terval, Prince Ziesenor caufed the Ruffians to fur round the fortrefs of Erivan, aad on the sth of July they commenced the bombardment of the city. Baba Kan, at the head of 13,00 u men, came to the affift ance of his fon, whom he joined on the 13th. On the ph, at day-break, the Perfian troops, under Baba Kan, attacked the left wing of the Ruffians. The enemy approached within grape-flint, fupported by the befieged, who made a fortie. The combat was lib:iinate on both tides, bt.t Ruffian valour at length triumphed over their numerous enemies; for, after being les-Leal times repulfed by fuperior numbers, they fireceeded in driving the Pertians from all the heights they occupied. When the befieged made a fortie, it fhould. have been obferved, they attacked the Ruffian right wing, command e d by M. DE Sistamovicm, Colonel of the Regiment of Caucafus. This brave officer not only received the enemy with his wonted courage ; but repulfed them with the bayonet, killing 400, who remained upon the field of battle. The animofity of this fortie furpalFes every thing : thirty Perfians, fortified in a but, were furrounded, and of feted quarter, but preferred death, and refuted to furrender. Baba Kan, now beaten at all points of his line, though ten times more numerous than the Ruffians, founded a retreat, and marched towards the river Carnitochai. Two pair of colours were taken from the enemy, who left 'goo men upon the ground, among then) three Kam, and 250 officers. We are ignorant of the number of the wounded, be caufe, according to the Perkin custom, they were all carried off. The lots of the Ruffians in killed and wounded is t 3 officers, and 166 privates. " Baba Kan, fruftrated in his hopes, began to ra vage the count r y, to d e p r i ve t h e 'lndians of provi fions, and eafily effthed it with his numerous cavalry ; and this circumstance, together with the informa mation received by Prince ZIZIANOF of an infurrec tion among the inhabitants of the rocks of Caucafus, infligated by Baba Kan and the Grufinian Princes, Julem Parnaos and Alexander, the fira of whom is already in our power, caufed the Commandant to call a council of war, when a plurality of voices de cided it as the moll prudent ftep to defer the liege of Erivan till a mote favourable opportunity, andreturn without delay to Tifilis, there to reitore that order which had been ditlurbed in the abfence of Prince ZIZIANOF. The Ruffians abandoned Erivan on Sep member 4 ; the befieged attempted another fortie to banal; their tetteat, while Baba Kan defcended into the plain, but he contented himfelf with a distant can nonade. " Our lois, during the campaign, is thus eftimated in ki:led and wounded, 15 Officers, and 300 privates. The enemy loft 5000 men ; among them three Kans and other dillinguithed Officers. Several dromeda ries, itandards, &c. have fallen into our hands, befides a camp as rich as it was abundant in provifions." Prince Ztz 'Amor concludes his report with a pro. mile to bring the revolted Grufinians to a fpeedy obedience; and he adds, though it is mortifying not to have crowned the campaign by the capture of Eri •an ; the feeble detachment under his orders had, notwithfianding, fucceeded in effetling the principal objeet of his military operations in Perfia ; which was that of not only hindering Baba Kan from pe netrating into Grulinia ; but to prevent him in all his enterprizes beyond the Ruffian frontier ; and on the other hand to carry on the war upon the Perfran tat ritory. Hetestutatr, Ktntvr, brother. in-law to the Ernpror Naroi.koN, will, it is laid, command the army, wiiich is to much to Spain, to befiege Gibraltar. 41!IERICA Borrow, Dec. 22.-A Gentleman who raided tome years on the Rio de la Plata mentions, that during the late war with Spain there were upwards of 30 millions of dollars coll e t e d at B uenos A yres, anti defined for the mother country, brought down from the interior on mules.

Couriers pats and repafs between the Hague and Paris daily. Accounts from Dover (late, that a very heavy cannonading was heard there during the greater pact of Tuefday. As the wind blew very ffrong from the South Eaft, it is fuppofed that the firing pro ceeded from our fquadron off Boulogne, that may may have fallen in with tome of the enemy's veffels, coming from the Eaftward, driven by the gale from the French coaft. This fuppofition has been partly confirmed, as one of oar gun-brigs paired Dover on Tuefday evening, about four o'clock, for the Downs, having in company one of the enemy's guriluggers, with the lots of her foremaft. The firing had not ceafed at fix o'clock on Tuefday night. We are concerned to (late, that her MAJESTY was taken ill on Tuefday night, after her return from the Play, at Covent Garden Theatre. ' Het MAJESTY'S complaint, we underliand, is an attack of the rheu matifm, brought on by the prefent damp and cold weather. Notice of this event was communicated at an early hour to the LORD CHAMBERLAIN ; accom panied with an expreffion of apprehenfions, that her &history would not be able to attend the Drawing Room, announced in the Gazette for this day at St. James's.

We have received a feries of Royal Bahama Ga zettes to the latter end of December, from one of which we extra& the following atticle: A letter from a Gentleman at the Grand Caicos. dated October 17, to his Correfpondent in Nagai!, Pays—" We are much infefted by French privateer; which come near our plantations, though they have not had the audacity to land. I had a very narrow' efcape of being taken by a three maned felucca. which chaced me a confide-able time among the flt.ials on the Caicos Bank. She has lat,:ly takm a fmall fchonner out of Weil Harbour. If we had c fmall armed veiiel well manned, Elide piccaroons might eafily be rooted out." Another letter from the rune pace coutains the following article—" My prcp:rty the Blue Hills is in a very hazardous fituation—two piccaroons, a felucca, and a fchooaer, came to anchor at the Five Keys, about two miles distant from my plantation ; I fufpeEted they were reconnoitering, and I fear they will make a landing. which they may eaCly do, z..s I have no fire-arms to oppofe them." The following is an cxtrad from the Congref. fional Report of the Committee of Commerce and Manufalure appointed to confider the relbl u ti on relative to the regulation of the trade of Loufflana " New Orleans, not only as a po r t o f &porn for the produce of the weltern country, where it zan be (hipped to all parts of the world, poffeires peculiar and important advantages, from its proximity to the Britifh, French, and Spanifh fettlements in the Welk Indies. Various articles, whether of European, Aliatic, or American growth or manufacture, which we can readily (ripply at reafonable prices, can be carried to their ports, and be exchanged for fuch as they can conveniently fpare, and which may be :le ceffary for our own confumptien. A commerce known to be highly beneficial to all the parties into. relied in it ; fupplying the United States too, in fome cafes, with the precious metals, fo neceffary in our intercourfe with Afia, it is prefurncd, was not in.. tended to be difcouraged." A new volcano has lately appeared in the reoum tains of Columbo the eruption was attended with a confilerable concugion of the earth to a very great dillance. The crater feems of prodigious depth, and burnt for fome days with much violence. Saturday fe'nnight one of the Shields coaches (with eight pailingers in the infide and two children, and ten on the out(cte), was overturned about three miles and half tom Newcafile. One man on the outfide, having his legs through the rails, had br,th broken, and his recovery is doubtful. Two or three more were much hurt. Wednefday fe'nnight a child was burnt to deatit in Milburn•place, North Shields, in confequence o!7 its cloaths taking fire, in the AI - trice of the family. On Thurfday, between four and five o'ciozk M. a moll dreadful fire broke out in Mr. Fenton'; ropery, without the Scotch gate, Berwick .upon- Tweed. How it originated has nut yet been ulcer taMed, but from the quantity of hemp, &c. uhieh is contained, for upwards of half an hour it blazed with uncommon tury, and had the wind been "malt or fouth ealt, inaead of eagerly, nothing could have preferved feveral Rack yards in its neighbourhood, and probably the whole of Cattle Gate, from dame lion. The building has been reduced to a mere (hell. The houfe in Warwick-areet, on the left wing of Carleton Houfe, formerly the refidence of General CONWAY, is about to be fitted up by the PatNCE, for the reception of the Prince& CHAILOTTE, her Go,. vernefs, and fuite. A curious trial came on at the late Yorkfhire (Eaft Riding) Seflions, refpeiling the fettlement of Ann Deadlcy. It appeared that fhe was removed to her maiden fettlement,that of her h ufband notbeingknown. The appellants proved that fhe was married at St. M ary's, Beverley, to Jon Dearfley, a private in the Lan cafhire Militia ; the hufband could not be found ; the wife (wore fhe believed he was born at Blackburn. in Lancafbire; and was fon of a joiner there ; (he had been in that neighbourhood with her hulhand's father and family, and was received and acknow ledged by them in the charafter of their relation.— Dearfley, the father, then was called : he Lid the wo man was his daughter-in•law ; he had no doubt of it whatever, though he had never feen her and his f, together; he believed his fon to have been married t, her at Beverley, when the Lane:Aire Militia was qua:- tered there; his fon, he "'Aid, was about 26. She decla! - ed that to be her hufband's age. This feemed fully tr• eftablifh the identity of Dearfley, the fon of the witnds, and Dearfley, the hufb4nd of the. pauper. However, the Court delired the two witneffes might be examined feparately. The woman, on being interrogated, an fwered with the greatefl readinefi, " that her i•! band had a fair complexion, and light hair." T father was then called up again, and lie as ream; anfwered, " that his fon bad a dark complexion, and blackfrair." The queßion was put in different wa and his anfwer was conflantiv the fame. The Court permitted the woman to be fill further interroeatc,!, and the, with the Jame readinefs as before, (poke t.. the lightnefs of her hufbaral's hair and co,uplexi, c . On this contradiaion, th appeal to the maiden tlemtnt was confirmed. •
