Betides, it has been g reatly affeeted by the ce(!ion of the left bank of the Rhine, as feveral countries, over which Germany has no jurifdietion, have their votes at the Diet ; and molt of the circles have fufft.red more or lefs in their pofTellions. •11 NIVOSE, JANUARY I. The Emperor of Germany has exprelred great furprice that tome of the Noble Venetians Ri ll in f.& on infcribing themfelves on the golden book, (which no longer remains), for the purpofe of fe curing to their ions the right of entering the Grand Council, as if the Venetian Republic any longer erifted, or would again eiift.

HAVRE, DEC. 27.—The boißerous weather was not fufpended for more than three days, and the Rorms have recommenced with the fame violence as before. For two months we have had nothing but fevere gales. There is not a day in which the rain does not fall in torrents. This relaxes all our commercial operations, and oppofes itfelf to the failing of our frigates. The veffels from the North and Weft cannot pably approach our coaf. BREST, DEC. 25.—M. DE CORDOVA has taken the command of the ten Spanifh fbips which re main in our road. The corvette la Diligente, a tranfport velfel, will fail very foon for St. Do mingo. The two veffels anner en (fate, le Zeli and la Tourville, will fail fome time after for the fame deßination. Many perfons employed in this expedition, who could not embark on board the firft !hips for want of room, will go by there. LYONS, 9 thvoss (Dsc. 30.1 —Citizen TAL. cry RAND arrived here on the 7 (zBth). The Cif.dpine Deputies have been prefented to him.— He this day gave a grand dinner to the principal notables. The Archbithop of MILAN, an old man of eighty, feerningly in perfea good health, and in excellent fpirits, was placed on the Minifter's right. He bad fcarcely fat down, when leaning over to Citizen TALLEYRAND, for the purpofe of (peaking to him, he fell back into his chair and in• ftantly expired. Citizen MOSCATI, a celebrated phyfician, who was at table, ineffeftually ufed every means to revive him. His heart had ceafed to beat. _ The Archbi(hop of MILAN had come to Lyons for the ezprefs purpofe of Peeing the CHIEF Cow. so L, whom he had known in his firft campaign in Italy. It is remembered, that the peafants of Pavia having revolted, this refpeilable Prelate of fered to go to remonftrate with them ; but thefe Brigands refuting to Ellen to his exhortations, the French army entered Pavia by force. As the peafants had been fanaticized, by being made to believe that the French wifhed to deftroy their religion, General BONAPARTE frequently carried along with him in his carriage the Archbifhop of MILAN. _ The Prelate had gone to Venice, to attend the Conclave, and was there when e army of re ferve entered Italy. Not .having then teen the Cam Consul. and feeling a ftrong delire, not withftanding his great age, to pats the Alps, he accompanied the Cifalpine Deputies, and teemed to bear his journey without much fatigue. . Great preparations are making his funeral. Hap us, Dec. 2s . —Government has received very fatisfaftory intelligence from Batavia. The magazinei regorp,e with the produCtions of the colony. Thole appointed by Government to pro ceed to our poffeflions in the Indies in general en joy a reputation of probity which gives flattering hopes of the liked's of their Adminiftration.— Formerly the firft come, provided that they were proteacd by the Stadtholder, were employed in the colonies, while thofe were paired by who were belt fitted to watch over our interefis in that quarter of the world. BRUNSWICK, Dkc. r3.—The POPE'S letter to the French Biffiops has at length arrived. The delay it has experienced may ferve to explain that of the refignations. Of all the refignations thole of the Archbifhop of Paris and the PAN) of Blois have had the greateft influence on the reft. The Abbe Duvoßsis propofes to publith in their fa vour a very energetic letter. The Ex-Sranr HOLDER and his Family (pent here a fortnight; during which time feveral entertain ments were given them. The Prince feems to be completely reigned under his Inas. lie lays, that in paffing through Altona he exprefled a de fire of feeing Dumotratee ; the latter being in formed of this circumftance waited upon the Prince, and converted with him in a very candid manner, and with much politenefs, on certain events, that required to be touched upon with great delicacy and addrefs in a converfation, and even refpeaing a Proclamation, the ityle of which it was more difficult to pardon than a viaory. The Prince heard the whole with great com placency, and replied in the fame manner. Rome, Dec. 7.—A medal has been Bruck here to commemorate the takingpoffeffion of the Rates of the Church, by his }lands, laft month.

Laft night we received Paris Journals to the 13th Nivofe inclufive, which fame of the morning papers, by nu:flake, we fuppofe, have called the 4th inn. but which, in truth, is only the 3d inn.— The contents arc given above. The trial of the Bantry Bay Mutineers, which began at Portfmouth on Wednefday, cannot be publiflied till the trials be finifhed. The Members of the Court behaved with much courtely in intim . Ling to our Reporters their refolution on this mat ter. We mull prote it, however, against the principle now laid down and acted upon for the fire time. We do fo with the moll perfeft difintereflednefs, for the expences of giving the trial daily, and running expreffes from Portfmouth, would have been very confiderable indeed. The Public are far more interened than we are. Formerly no at tempts were made to prevent the trialsbefore Courts Martial from being publifiled even while they were going on. That of Ks P 'EL was publiflied daily for fix weeks, and PALLISF R'S for five. The trial of PARKER and his gang in 1797, was pub 'jibed ckily ; that of Captain WILLIAMSON, in 1798, daily, without the leaft impediment, On the contrary, we can fay from perfonal know. ledge, that ev.-,ry facility and accommodation was given by the Courts, and on board the (hips where the trials took place, to thole who were engaged in giving the reports. No inconve nience can refult from the praftice. It is not like cafes where daily details would influence the minds of Judges and Juries, The Courts Mar tial hear and take down ill the evidence on which they are to decide before it is publifhed :'what is publifhed does not hurt the caufe and defence of the culprit;, or prejudice their Judges or Juries ' Its might be in a fuccelfion of civil trials. We therefore can perceive no good reafon for this re folution of the Court-Martial, and have no hefi tation in pronouncing it wee and ionjeifiabk. We confider it our duty to the public to impeach the principle of fuch a prohibition ; and we think the Court-martial would do well to nate their reafons for doing as they have done, that the public may judge. For our part, we are of opinion, that the anxiety to prevent publication will create great alarm in the public mind, leading them to form very gloomy conjectures indeed, refpelting the extent and malignity of the mutiny. But how far fuch an alarm would be right or wrong, we shall not pretend at prefent to decide. We have now to fubmit to what we conceive has been unduly impofed, and to proteft spina finvilar proceedings in future. ___ li WINDSOR, yANudißr 7. Their MAJEsvtas, and the ROYAL.
