dable, a change which, probably, may be the fate of every individual of them, and only the ter mination of the haulers of the peace of the Em pire will decide which of the Ecciefiaftical countric' will retain their prefent conaitution; and which will receive another.' From this &nation of of fairs it naturally follows, that, an Ecclefl4ical foundations becoming vacant during this Rate of uncertainty, the eleaions mull provifority be fuf peoed, left they tnight impede the Indemnifi cations Stipulated in the treaty of peace, and pre vet the final tranquillization of the diftraacd German Empire. A fufpenfion, grounded on fuch inentous reafons, cannot prejudice the eleCtion, if ;t fliouldafterwards take place, and will evidently promote the welfare ofthe count ry, as the el e Cti on of a Regent, probably for a Short period only, could not produce any alteration in the decision or a higher authority, and would caufe an unnecerary burthen t z, the country. His Pruffian Majefly has already communicated to the Supreme Chief of the Em pire his fentiments on this bufinefs, agreeably to the harmony fubfifting between them, and mils firmly allured, from fomc previous intimations of his Im perial lvfajefty, and from his wifdom and his care for the welfare of the Empire in general, that he will conficier this object in the fame point of view, which his Majelly the King likewife expeas from his high Co-Stiass, to whom he has alfo declared himfelf on that fubjea, with patriotic frankncfs, at the Diet. His Majefty entertains no doubt, that the fame confiderations will not have efcaped the enlightened wifdom of the Reverend Chapter ; and, from this convietion tie declares, by means of the underfigned, his molt gracious expettation and defire, that the eleaion of a new Regent of the Bifhopric of Munger may be fufpended for the prefent, till its future fake (hall have been decided agreeably to the treaty of peace. 1-hs Majefty's foie objea, in fo doing, is to remove all obftacles to a final and general tranquilization of Germany, and to promote the real good of a country for which he is fincerely interefled from neighbourly and other refpeas, and to which he will further grant that proterftion by which it has fo happily efcaped all the calamities of the late deltruaive war. His Majefty has likewife parti cularly charged the underfigned, to allure the Re verend Chapter, and all individual Members there. of, of his molt gracious fentiments, under all cir tumilances. But in return, his Majefty expeas with confidence, that his well-meant advice and defire will be obferved without any difficulty, and that the Reverend Chapter will, as'foon as poffible, give his Majelly the affurance, that, before the fi nal adjuftment of the ,reaty of peace, and the de. cifion of the future relations of the Bifhopric of Munster, thereby dialed, a frefh elation will not be fpoken of. " This is the declaration which the Underfigned is charged to make. He entertains no doubt that the reply, with which he (hall be honoured by the Reverend Chapter, will fully anfwer his,Majefty's expectations, which he begs may be fpeedily dreired to him, at Hildefheim. In expeaation whereof, the underfigned embraces this opportu nity for renewing to the Reverend Chapter his elleem and attachment.—Homburg, Auguß ss, tBor. (Signed) " nom ra." The PrnEtn Anthaffis dor at Vienna has alto de livered to the Minifters from the States of the Em pire there, the following remarkable DECLARATION. The univerfally elleemed Eleaor of Comma' and Prince-Bifhop of Mintier being dead, his Palalan Majefly cannot but think it adequate to his own interell, and to that of all the other bates of the Empire whom it concerns, as well as to the Empire in general, on account of its prefent great embarraffment, that the Archbifhopric of Cologne, as well as the Bilhopric ofMuntier, do remain vacant for the prefent. His IMPERIAL MAJESTY has therefore been requefted, not to au thorife any frefn eletction, which, if it fhould never thelefs take place, he would be obliged to declare null and void." Similar information has been given to the Diet el Rati(bon by Count Goßa. The above are not the only fymptoms of poi . - diffcrences of opinion among the groat and r • ! The French having begun to exercife tl • • iits of fovcreignty in the Pruflian dominions • : • kft banks of the Rhine, the King protefled azi:!ift this ticp to the French Government, de ••7•J that he would not formally cede his pof until he had been indemnified for them. 1k.'.11.1' OF PEACE BETWEEN SPAIN AND POR TUGAL lltc following is a copy of the Treaty of Peace cr , ncluded between Spain and Portugal " As the objett which his Catholic MAJESTY ! in and which he confidcred as necelfary tn r the general good of Europe, %% lien he declared :o.i: againft Portugal, is obtained, his Majisry f idi.lved, after conferences had, to rcßore and t:new the bonds of friendfhip and good under •• by means of a Treaty of Peace : and the P Lripotentiaties of the three belligerent powers .0 mg met together, have agrceJta cot cluk4 two Treaties, w itch in their e 'entt parts wi . - ut one; as the guarantee will be interchangeable, and will ceafe with refpea to both when either Ihall be infringed.

AFFAIRS or Er:Ter.—On Saturday upwards of 6000 letters, brought from Egypt by the Sr ince floop, were delivered from the Pothotfice. Let ters by this conveyance contain no intelligence of importance, being dated previous to the fall of Cairo. They reiterate the reports communicated by way of Rhodes and Conliantinople, that the garrifon of Alexandria was teverely prefred by want, and that many of the inhabitants had been expelled the city, and conducted in the - night acrofs the old port to the neck of land which forms the Lake Mareotis. The occafion of this meafure is varioufly Hated • fome kaer, impting it to a confpiracy amongdthe natives ;:t furren der the city to the Englifh; and others, with more probability (confidering the firength of t:ic garrifon),toa dare on the part of the Ft ge neral to reduce the confumption of the removal of unnecetiary hank. Some of there people have been conducted to the Britith camp, and make the moll melancholy reprefcntations of the fituation of the inhabitants of Alexandria, who are delliture of every thing, and from their fuppofed difaffeelion to the French, treated by them with extreme indignity and op prellion. They (late the Republicans to he dif contented, and only held to theit duty by the ex palation of fuccour. The French had coital-tided flrong batteries on the bank of the inundation made by the Englifh, and our people had in like manner lined the op polite Ihore. We have fume gun-boats on this Lake, by means of which we could throw (hells into Alexandria,but our Commanders have defilled from ufing there yell - els. The ordinary depth of water in this extenfive moat is about four feet ; but it cannot be In drained for a long time as to admit the convenient palrage of troops: and it is apprehended that the fiege,fliould Mstiott have fuf. ficient (applies to enable him to hold nut, will be prolonged by the impediments which this inunda tion will prefent to our operations. . The moat extends from the Lake Mareotis to the fea, in the diration ilf Aboukir, within about two miles of Alexandria, and on the eaftern point runs dole to Cleopatra's Needle, which is w•it.'un the French line. Sir R. BICIE ORTON, with three fail of the line, including le noes, on the t Bth of Jun:, rejoined Lord KIITH off Alexandria. Sir R. MCI( [ILION, on reaching his nation, fent a brig in (bore, when our people were informed by the Arabs, that the French had been there ten days before, and had plundered them of every thing worth carrying off. Our fleet, at the date- of there accounts, was perfally healthy, and well fupplied with provi fions; and our army, poffetling a profufion of every ncceflary, was much more healthy than could have been ccpeacd from the nature of the climate and fervice. 10, 1 ! »~
