As we have announced in the preceding Co lumns, we this morning received French Papers of the 7th, brought over in the veffel in which the FiasT Cousin.% Aide de Camp arrived with the Ratification of the above Preliminaries. By there Journals it appears that PEACE BE i whEN FRANCE AND PORTUGAL was figned at Madrid on the 29th ultimo, fo that now there is every profpe& of a general pacifica - tion, unlefs the queftion of indemnities fliall occa Pion a new rupture, in confequence of the mifun derftanding between Pria a and Auflria, refpec ting the Ele&orate of Cologne, and Bifhopric of Munfter. If we may truft the accounts in there Journals, the Court of Berlin has given orders to a body of troops to occupy the City and Bifhop ric of Munfter. This, however, is no certain in dication of approaching hoftilities—the queftion will probably be accommodated for the prefent, but, if againft the views of Auftria, it may lay the foundation for a future claim. The following extraCts contain the principal ar ticles in the papers of the 7th. PAWS, OCTOBER 7. Peace between the French Republic and the Kingdom of Portugal was figned at Madrid on the sgth of September, by Citizen Lvcisi Bo- NAPARTE, on the one hand, and M.

This important in• telligence is confirmed by frefh ladviccs. Some very warm difcurnons have taken place, it is laid, bet Ween the Courts of Vienna and Berlin, in re gard to the election of a Bifhop of Munfler, and the Pruflian Minifter tranfmitted a very energetic note on this fubjea to the Auftrian Minifter at the Court of Praia. The Court of Vienna replied to this Note, Rat ing, that his IMPERIAL MAJESTY could not refufe to comply with the Conaitutional requeft, on the part of the Chapter of Munger, but that the Arch duke ANTHONY will not take poftefrir;n of hi; new States, but in the cafe of their being excepted from the fecularization.-7ournaldn Definfitsrr dr kr Patti.. , The preparations Citizen Orro has made at his houfe, No. 26, Charles-flreet, Mancheller fguare, for joining in the gencral illumination, die play no magnificence, but arc fuch as become the modeß attributes of Republican fimplicity.
