LAI/LISTON, Aid-de-Camp of the FIRST CONSUL, who arrived at Ratilbon on the Bth intl. with difpatches f9r the French Legation, fet out on the following day for Vienna, carrying with him to the Imperial Court a Convention figned at Paris by the Minifter TALt.svaAnto and Count de COSENTZ at, in confequence of which the Auarian . troops are immediately to evacuate Pat Tau. The Conclufinn taken by the Deputation of the Empire in its third fitting, for adopting the Plan of the indemnities, is couched exaaly in the fame terms as the propofitions which terminate the vote given in the fame fitting by the Minifter of Mentz. Thefe propofitions, and confequently the text of the Conclufsms, is as follows : " The following declaration (hall be made to the Minifters of the two powers : The conduit of the two powers who have been pleated to affume the part of mediators in the prefenteircumilances, • and to tranfmit declarations in confequence to the Deputation, through the medium of their Mini fters, is acknowledged with gratitude; being fully convinced of the friendly difpolitions of the two powers towards the Germanic empire, they pre vioufly, and in general, adopt the plan propofed by them in regard to what concerns the in demnities, in fuch a manner that they referve to themfelves, at the fame time, the power of in troducing all thofe modifications which may be rendered many by the urgent remonftrances that may be made, or thofe which the Deputation, faithful to its ddty, may judge necetfary to pro pofe by refolutions, and of which it has a right to promife the admiffion in common. " On the other hand, they do not think they detiate from the friendly intentions of the two powers, by obferving that in the definitive refolu tion to be immediately formed for the determina tion of the indemnities, it will be necelfary to de cree at the fame time, that thofe who have fuftain ed lotres, thall be bound on receiving the 'countries which have fallen to their share as indemnities,. to provide in a fuitable manner for the maintenance of all the perfons who hitherto had a conftitutional exiftence in the faid countries, and to charge them felves with the debts to which they ferve as fecu. rity, and with all the other real obligations which depend on them : in the fame refolution then Sall be eftablilhed fixed rules on this fubjea. To regulate then as fpeedfty as poffible the modifica tions demanded, or propofed by the deputation, the latter than, without delay, addrefs itfelf to the Minifters of the Mediating Powers, to receive the necetfary information on this fubje&, and to come to an underftanding with them, in order that it may as foon as poffible come to a refolution, which flail be fubmitted to the ratification of his Impe rial Majefty and the Empire." The Emperor of Ruffia is reprefented as having made the molt forcible and molt pathetic repre fentations to the French Government, in favour of the King of Sardinia. He expreffed a with that it might be obferved to the Filar Coyssuc that the &nation of this unfortunate Prince had circum fiances in it which mutt deeply ailed his heart.— Upon which obfervation, BONAPARTZ is laid to have replied to M. de Maacorr, 6 , inform your Sovereign that it is not by the heart, but by the head that the Rulers of States lhould be guided in their mode of governing." The (late of Switzerland becomes every day more critical. Not only the old Petty Cantons, but alfo the Grifons, are in a !late of complete in furredion ; feveral other Cantons, which hitherto appeared pretty tranquil, begin to be agitated ; and they talk openly of following the example of the countries which have taken up aims. How vain the attempt at the prefent moment ! It 'hews, however, more and more ftrongly, the truth of what we have often Rated, that there is nothing folid in the arrangements which have formed the bafis of the pacification of Europe. Letters from Saint Domingo, dated Thermidor Bch ( A ugu ft t II), !late, that the partial commo tion: which had taken place in that colony after the defeat and reduaion of the rebels, have been entirely fuppreired. The rebellious negroes in the Bunt of the ringleaders contributed note. little to the reaoration of tranquillity : force plantations only had been burnt by thefe brigands, and fuck were the ezceffes to which they fuhjefted the vic. tiros of their fury, that the inhabitants think it a great happinefs that in their ha infurre&ion they butchered only a dozen of white women and children.

Balms, Sur. a.—The City of Zurich for a long time maintained a fecret correfpondence with perfons of the greateft influence in the country, to unite in different bodies, when the levies ordered by the petty cantons fbould give occafion to re fitiance. Zurich was accufed of meditating tome enterprife, contrary to the prefent order of things. •A battalion of picked men from a canton, of a fpirit entirely contrary to that of the inhabitants of Zurich, was rent thither. The city refufed to admit this battalion. General ANDER MATT then ordered that it should be occupied by feveral com panies of troops of the line. The unexpeted ar rival in the city of this force, produced a great agitation among the inhabitants : they affembled in a tumultuous manner, and when the effervef cence teemed to be at its height, the municipality being unwilling to take upon them refponfibility for the refult, united with themfelves fix .perfons of the greatelt refpcaability. After Tome deliberation they refolved to oppofe every attempt to furprize them, and to refute entrance to the troop. The municipality of Zurich wrote to the Helvetic com mandant, that the citizens wifhed to guard the walls themfelves, and not to fee foreign troops; that they would, however, permit them to enter, on conditions that the foldiers (bould be confined to the barracks, and be guarded by the citizens.— Citizens Vs tss and ScH esTz immediately fet out from Zurich to come to an explanation with the Central- Government. This took place on Tuef day. General ANDERMAT, being informed of there movements, left Lucerne, on Thurfday, with all the troops and artillery he could collet. He arrived before Zdrich in the night, and at half pall two in the morning fummoned the citizens by a trumpet to open the gates. The Com mandant of the Citizens of Zurich replied, that he was going to fend this demand to the Muni cipality, and that he should wait for its orders.— Gen.ANDUMATT then began to bombard the town with howitzers, he fired i6o without reckoning the ballets difcharged from tome four and fix poun ders. But his ammunition was loon exhanited, and he had with him no more than 2000 men. At , nine o'clock he offered to fufpend hoftilities, on condition of one of the quarters of the city being given up to him, until he should receive farther inftrutions from his Government. An armiftice was then agreed on till Saturday evening at fix o'clock ; but the citizens, incenfed at this attack, and encouraged by the bad fuccefs of the bombard ment in the morning, for no perfon had been either killed or wounded, - -and the fire occafioxied by the ment. Friends from the country arrived every moment to the alliance of Zurich, and particu larly that veteran General STIIHRIty 8o years of age, entered the city with 300 men well armed. Such were the news yefterday evening. _ The two Deputies - fent by the city of Zurich to Berne, have received orders to depart, and are to be accompanied by a Helvetic Officer. The following we are airured are the principal condition's of the Armiitice which has been con cluded between General ANDER mATT and the D eputies of the three Cantons, Uri, Schweitz, and Unterwalden :--t it. A furpenflon of arms for an unlimited time. Hankies shall not recommence till three days previous notice has been given.— zd. The tranfit of merchandize and provi fi ons than be free as before during the time of the ar millice. The three Cantons than receive the fame quantity of corn as was allowed to them in the time of peace.--3d. The refpeeive armies Mall take a pofttion as they may judge proper, it being however underflood that they shall not pafs the prefent line which they occupy, &c. The Depu ties of the three Cantons were defuous of extend ing the armiflice to thofe of Glaris and Appenzel; but the Helvetic General declared that he had no Ipower for that purpofe. _ _ This night the Government received three Cou riers. We learn that an alarm has been again founded in the • petty Cantons, in confequence of their hearing of the attack of Zurich. This morn• ing 8o howitzers were fent off for Zurich, but perhaps, they will arrive too late, if they arrive at all : it is apprehended they will be feized by the way. _ BERN E, Sir T. li. The fpirit of infurreftion which has already feparated from Helvetii the Cantons of Glaris, Schwitz, Uri, Appenzel, and the country of the Grifons, fprefds more and more. That of Zug is alto on the point ,of declaring againft the Government. At Baden, the fermen tation daily increafes: At Zurich, the former' , Chiefs of the Canton have deliberated in private affemblies, on the admiffion of a new Conftitution, and have been able to prevent the picked troops of Leman from entering their city. The gates have been flint againft them, and they have been obliged to encamp without the walls. We learn from Arau, that hoftilities have commenced in the neighbourhood of that city. A mutual can nonading took place. The troops of the Pais de Vaud fired red hot fhot on the place, which took fire in feveral quarters, We exped farther details with impatience. Such is the potation of Helvetia. Arrived at Edinburgh, Sir WM. JOHNSTON, Bart. J. Lorrsom.e, Efq. on their way north ; the Right Hon. Lord KEITH, on his way to London; Mr. and Mrs. GRANT, of Rockville, and Mifs DALRYMPLE, Admiral Sir Roaxav and Lady CALDER and family, from the north ; WALTER CAMPBELL, Efq. of the Eaft India Company, J.

The Jury at Plymouth were this week twice locked up twelve hours, to choofe a Mayor, and remained divided, 18.againft IS, both times. The Mayor is to apply to the King's Bench to compel an election. _ _ _ THE THREATENING LETTERS.—Mr. GOLDSMID, an eminent Jew-merchant, whore vaft capital, and (kill in the bufinefs of the funds, are laid to have had a great influence in Come of thofe fluanations in the prices of itocks, which have recently pro duced fo many Change Alley infolvencies, has been lately much annoyed by anonymous threat ening letters, tranfmitted to him through the me dium of the General Twopenny Poft Office. To obtain means ofdifcovering the a uthor, or authors, of thofe letters,he thought it neceffary to place a She-• riffs officer in attendance at the letter box, on the outfide, and on the infide another perfon to make a fignal to the officer, as foon as any letter ad dreffed to Mr:GOLDSPAIID, in the hand-writing of the former threatening letters, fhould be Peen to pats through the box. The officer had orders to feize and detain the perfon whom he fhould have obferved to put in the laft letter before the fignaL By there precautions, on Monday laft, about two o'clock, P. M. the fon of a Jew broker was feized by the officer in attendance at the General Two penny Poft-office. He was, after a long private ex lamination before the LORD MAYOR, committed to the New Compter, under the fufpicion that he was the writer of the threatening letters which Mr. GOLD3MtD had receive& Bail, to the amount, it is Paid, of schoool. Ifterling, was offered in ' vain, if be might be left at large. Yefterday, however, he was again privately examined at the Manfion-houfe : and it appeared, that there was no evidence to prove either that he had writ ten the letters, or had even actually put any of them into the letter box at the Poll-off - me. He was therefore let at liberty, to the great joy of many of the children of Ifrael, who attended at the Manfion-houfe, in great anxiety, to know the refult of the affair.—The purport of the letters was to threaten utter deftritetion to Mr. GOLDS , Ism and his honk, if he %o►lld continue to ex- 87.

We are happy to be able to contradia the re. port of the total lots of la POMONE, of 44 guns. — She received fome damage entering St. Actin's. Bay, and was run aground; but, by the alliance of the REVOLUTIONAIRE and Acorn°, the has fince been got off, and is gone in there to be re. paired. The dangerous (fate in which Winch bridge, in Teefdale, is at preftnt, has been fatally experi. enced. About three weeks fince a party of nine men and two women were palling it from the Durham fide to Holwich, molt of whom being upon it at the fame time, the unufual weight en• tirely deftroyed the balance, and one of the chains being overftrained, it flapped, the bridge turned over, and three men were thrown into the Tees. One of them was dallied to pieces on the rock; the others falling into the water were fared. It is now fuppofed that the new Well India D )cks muff be cleared of water before any more (hips can be admitted into them. The water has gained lb fart on the foundation of the premifes, that the (team engine can fcarcely keep it clear. There is no apprehenfion of the ultimate fuccefs of thefe grand Docks ; but it is now evident they have been opened too foon. No more Chips are to be fuffered to enter the bafon at prefent. In con• fequence of the water flowing in fo fall, and oozing through the foundation, very great impediments have arifon in digging the ont....q..edlanund Doeirs. Every exertion is making to get the (hips now in the baron cleared as fart as pable. Yefterday morning early a pitched battle was fought in the hollow at Iflington, between two hackney coachmen, of the names of Holliway and Kilby, for the (mall wager of half-a crown. The conteft, after tatting one hour and ten minutes, terminated in favour of the former. They were both fo much bruited as to be taken away by their friends in coaches to their refpdtive homes, and are not expdted to renew their labour for fome confiderable time to come.
