HAGUE, AUGUST 3 t.—The German Gazettes announced tome days ago, that the Englifli had carried a port of twelve men on the ifle of Gorce. This intelligence is entirely falfe. The Englifb have made no attempt either againft the Hies of Got-cc and Zealand or againft the Texel. RATISZON, Aucusr a6.—Saxony and Branden burgh voted yefterday in the College of the Elec tors. Saxony has demanded that a deputation, chofen from among the Members of the Diet, %hall I be charged to examine the loffes, and then to give their opinion in a full Sitting, on the application of the indemnities: in cafe any doubts fhould arife they are to be fubmitted to the Diet. Branden burgh has voted as Magdeburgh. - - MUNSTER, AUG. 28.—1 t is confirmed that the chapter of Munfter has obeyed the injuntion laid upon it by the KING of Paussta, and that it will not, proceed to the elelion of a Bilhop. For this reafon the Bicnopric will not be occupied by Pruaian troops. The Margrave of "BADIM has given official no tice to his fubjeds, that in virtue of a convention concluded with the French Republic, they may freely repair to that country to fettle, without be ing obliged to pay the leaft impofition on their de parture. According to intelligence from Germany, the Duke of MODE N• has been invited by the French General to declare in a categorical manner whe ther he will accept of the Brifgau ? The Archduke Cue& Lss intends to repair to Buda, in Hungary, on bufinefs relating to the mi litary feryice. It is in agitation to reduce the number of Affef fors in the Imperial Chamber of Wetzlar. WESEL, AUGUST 28.—The arrival of the Pruf. l fian Mini(ler Baron Dome at Hildefheim, is for the purpofe of accelerating the liquidation of the different (urns due by the States of Upper Ger many to Pruffta, for maintaining the Pruffian army of obfervation, which eafured the neutrality of that country, and caufed the line of demarcation to be refpeded by the belligerent powers during the late campaigns : for this purpofe a Congrefs, compofed of deputies from the different States of Upper Germany, will be immediately opened at Hildefheim. Ana UST 3o.—The report of the fpeedy occupa. tion of the Bi(hopric of Munfter, by a body of PrufGan troops, is daily gaining ground: in regard to the *my of General )(friar, which occupies the Eledorate of Hanover, inflead of any idea of evacuating that country, it is, on the other hand, making the neceffary arrangements for taking up its winter-quarters in that country: ,This circum fiance, which is well known, deranges a little the fagacity of certain politicians. COBLE/11'Z, Auousr a3.—The Prefell of the Rhine and Mofelle has juft terminated the circuit he made through this Department, in execution of the decree of the Confuls, to receive the promife of fidelity on the part of the inhabitants of the country. He has traverfed the Iteep banks of the Rhine and the Mofelle, and croffed the mountains from the (bores of the Ahr to thole of the Nahe. At every place he was received with a degree of eagernefs which announced joy and hope ; every where he found a well-meaning let of people, who feemed to have no other expeCtation but that act which fhould at length confecrate their union, and enable them to difplay with confidence their natu ral qualities, and the refources offered them in va rious places by a foil yet untouched. The inhabitants of Hundfruck have parti cularly celebrated with enthufiafm this union, fo ardently &fired. They have (hewn on this occa fion that franknefs of charaaer, and that love of liberty,' which teem to diftinguifh the race of mountaineers. There is (ill to be remarked, in thole countries which for Med fcveral different principalities, the happy influence of the enlighten ed fyftem adopted by the Counts Palatine of the Rhine, and the Margraves of Baden. One is furprifed to find the mountaineer of the dreary Hundkuck more comfortable and more civilized than the peafant of the fertile borders of the Rhine, or the Mofelle, where an Ecclefiallical Government, the yoke of all moral and phyfical fervitude, oppreffed the inhabitants. Interialting obfervations and fuccefGve ameliora tions will be the fruit of this journey ; but a parti cular advantage, worthy of being recorded in the annals of the Government, is this :—Though the Secretary General publicly invited all who had any complaints to make to addrefs thernfelves di redly to the Prefet% yet no accufation relative to any abufe of power, vexatious or arbitrary alts, has been prefented—a certain proof that we live under protefting laws, a juft government, and a vigilant adminittration. The ceremony of receiving the promife of fide lity to the Republic took place in the churches, or in the public houfes of the principal towns in the country, with all the folcmnity that circum fiances, local means, and the atliftance of the mili tary authorities, would afford. The FunEtionaries of every Mayoralty advanced feparatcly to hear the promife read, and individualiy confirm it.— Crowds of citizens filled and furrounded the temples ; falutes of artillery, and exclamations of 4. Long live the Republic I" terminated the fo lenlnity. The Prefeel had every reafon to be fitisfied with the zeal of tin Mayors, and the good conduel and fpirit of the people. They (hewed themfelves poled henct forth to attach themfelves lincerely to their new costrpTy. Notwithflanding the misfor tunes of a U N war, and the poverty of feveral cantons, allpunfivally acquitted themf•h•cs idthe public chart s, and, by their oLdience to olpref- I,ve laws, they have (hewn thcmfelves well worthy of partaking all the benefits which our Conflitu tinn, and the cares of a liberal Government, pro mire a peop!: relic:A to freedom.

The Chapter of "gunner, as might be expelled, has condefcended, in confequence of the hid from the KING of Noma, to defer the eleCtion of a new Bifhop till farther order: The Pruflian troops in Hanover are making pre parations for taking their winter quarters in that Elettorate ! The Tim Coq/aides were at 48 francs on the 6th, which is a little higher than by the former Journals. Their Maier'.las and Paramus on Tuefday afternoon rode in their carriages to Mr. G. Sr LW.

The ROYAL FAMILY and Company were enter tained with a fumptuous repaft in tents affixed in the gardens ; it confined of eve'' , delicacy, and the moll choice viands. The fpot appropriated for dancing was in the Gardens, under a fhade madc with naval and mi litary colours ; it had a molt enchanting effeel,be• ing beautifully illuminated, having the appearance of - a Little Vauxhall, which it was ftyled by the company. In this delightful and rural retreat, they were amufed with feftive mirth. The country dances commenced foon after din ner. The partners were the _ _ . . . _ Hon. Lleut..Coi.

Wednefday morning, his MAJasTv after bathing rode out on horfeback. After breakfaft, the KING and FAMILY, except Pr;ncefs AMELIA, took an aquatic excurfion, Mr. ADDI soros accompanied their MAJsmrs on the water.

WO; MON TRESOR arrived at Weymouth on Wednefday morning, and had an interview with his MAJESTY, on his returning from Egypt. At the Marquis of HERTFORD'S feat of Ragley, in Warwickfhire, a grand dinner and Mufical party were yelterday given, to which were invited Ladies LINCOLN, VILLIERS, ST. JOHN. THROCKNORTON, and the firft people of the country. DUEL.—On Monday laft Sir SAMUEL HANNAY and Capt. Mukaay, nephew of Lord CATHCART, with their feconds, and Mr. HosuNcs, the Sur geon, who accompanied them, landed at Lowef toffe from Hamburgh, where they had been to terminate an affair of honour. We underfland it was the intention of the parties to have fought here ; but, intimation having been given to the Magiftrates, C apt . _ M. was bound over to keep th e peace in his Majeßy's dominions, Sir Samos'. having eluded the watchful prefervers of the peace. Both Gentlemen, it is laid, acted with much cool. nets and courage : after a brace of piflols had been exchanged, the fccnnds, to prevent more ferious confequences, interfered. Their friends were much concerned for the event, as they had always lived in the firiaefl terms of friendfhip. The cattle of the difference, we believe, was a trifling difpute between Sir SAMUEL and Captain M. the latter of whom gave come difpleafure to the former in a public room, which they afterwards felt difpofed to terminate amicably ; but fome officers prefent conceiving it not exactly confillent with. military regulation to be reconciled without fighting, the dirpute in a fhort time became more ferious, and finally pi cAluced circumftances that could not be fettled in any other mode than that which they adopted. Mr. HOLLINGS, during the paltage, re ceived a fall by die vend's rolling, which ?ut out his collar bone. NAUTIC4L INTELLIGENCE. MAILS THIS DAY.—Wind N. N.
