FRANCE. PARIS, SEPT. 7. The refufal of the Emperor Alexander to ratify the Treaty of Peace concluded between France andittuf fia &es not appear to have hitherto drawn with it the rupture of the negotiations between the French and Englifk Pleniprtent;aries, although, certainly, according to every appearance, there is only a very feeble hope left of their fuccefs. As the fignature of the peace with Rual4 was immediately followed by the fielt preparations for the evacuation of Germany by the French troops, on the other hand, the un forefeen determinati nof the Court of Poet (burgh to rejeCt the treaty, feems to have immediately dilated to the Emperor Napoleon the refolition of counter. minding the return of the grand army to the French territory, where fome divifions had already wired, and where they would all have foon affembled. The Camp of Meudon, which has hitherto contained the troops who firft arrived, and which would fano have been infufficient for the number of troops expefied, is to be broken up, and we are affured that orders have been expedited to Martha! Prince Berthier,.Minifter of War, and Major General of the Grand Army, to flop the retrograde march of the main body of . his 1 forces, which bad already begun, or was about to If the prefcnce of the troops Rationed (hall he ne ceffary in Germany or elfewhere, they will loon be at their pofts. Europe well knows how ihr.rt a time is required for French troops to tranfport therafelves wherever glory is to be fought. Prince Jerome Bonaparte arrived on Sunday at St. Cloud, after his long cruize His Krielty imme diately prefented him with the Great Ribbon of the Legion of Honour. From the 13th of December to the a6th of Auguß, this Prince continually kept the lea in the midft of Wide (quadrant, fopporting in every quarter the honour of the French Rag, and doing irreparable mifchief to the Englifu commerce. In tracing the hiflory of his voyage, as it is detailed in the Englifh papers, we fee him,on his Rill putting to lea, compel the convoy deliined Inc the Lan In dies and America to retutn to the Ir ills ports ; from thence he went to St. Helena, in which remote cruize he deßroyed feveral enemy's rads. The fqoadron afterwards put into S:. Salvador, the capital of the Brazils, to procure (rolls provifions for the few lick they had on board. It afterwards milled along Squth America, and deflroyed feveral "Englith pri vateers ; and, on a fudden, appealed in the Weft In dies, throwing the trade mid colonies ct the enemy into conflernation, and obliging Admiral Cochrane to take fhelier in Barbados. After it quitted Mar tinique, it went to St. Domingo, where it repreffed the feandalons traffic aflame American adventurerr, who trade with the rebel negroes. It appears that in purfning them to the northward, the Iquaclron encountered a gale of wind, which feparated the Ve• teems !rim the other (hips. The ;mince then fleeted for the coati of France,.and after having chafed te veral other veffels, he deflroyed above half the Q2e bee convoy, and put to Right the frigates which accom panied it. The lois of this convoy creates the moft painful fenfation in England, becaufe it was freighted with timber for the navy, which was much wanted. At lag the Veteran entered a French port, without the Englrfis Government being able, notwithflanding they Arid covered the leas with fuperior fquadrons, trader the orders of Duckworth, Louis, Cochrane, Strachan, and Warren, to prevent the French di stilton from fulfilling any one of its millions. Letters from L'Orient mention, that Prince Jerome, during this long ernize, wifhed to partake the fatigues of it like any other officer ; and that the only time when Admiral Duckworth, with a fuperior force, was near enough to render an engagement probable, the Prince entreated Admiral Willaumez to be allowed the ho nour of leading the (quadron into alion. The crews animated by his example, maniletted the greateft im patience to engage ; and every thing leads us to hope the refult of it would have been glorious for the French navy, if the wind had not feparated the two fquadrons, and given Admiral Willaumsz an oppor tunity of purCuing his deitinatioo. FROM THE DUTCH PAPERS. MADRID, AUGUST it. A courier artived here from Paris on the night of the ad. moll have brought important difpatches. His arrival produced an extraordinary bullle at Court, as well as in the office of the Secretary of State. The Prism/ of the Peace repaired to his (Areal five in the Dleraing. The rawer to the abovementioned dif patches was prepared in the coutfe of a few hours. aad lent off by a fpecial Meffcnger that evening.— Being unacquainted with the nature of thefe diA patches, we cannot determine their connellion with' the remarkable determination which our Court has taken.

From Anfpach we learn, that Marthal Bernadotte had all his effeOa packcd up ever fence laft Friday ; but that en Saturday afternoon difpatehes arrived from Pau is, the contents of which, to judge from the extraordinary aelivity that followed, and the number of Eflafettes immediately fent off by the Martha!, mull have been of the highell importance. WURTZBURGH, SEPT. s It is flatted from Brain, that the military prepara tions in Pruilli ought not to excite any alarm, as they have no other objea than to obtain fume advantages in the North of Germany. FROM THE BORDERS OF THE MAIN, SEPT. 6. Some of the Journals fay, the Elator of Saxony and the King of Pruffia have come to an agreement upon certain meafures. The French poops at this moment upon the Saxon confines are eltimated at thirty thoufand men. From Vienna, it is mentioned, that they are ex tremely aftive in tranfporting cannon and warlike ammunition, which has given rife to various conjec tOrti. However, we are agreed here, that there is no other objeel in view, but the mere removal of the cannon, &c. to Hungary, Galicia, and Bohemia. FRANKFORT. SEPTEMBER r. The nonillion of Friuli by the French, and fome other places on the Adriatic Sea, is aid to have taken place with the orient of the Court of Vienna ; but this military occupation, it is thought, will loft but a (bort time. It is remarked, that no kind of military preparation is going on in Heffe. Ss tr. 7 —The difference which has fubfilled be tween Mal (hal Augereau and the Magiftrates here, has been amicably adjufled. In other relpees things remain exauly upon the fame footing : but as to the fecret obfiacles which have hindered the opening of the Confederation of the Rhine in this city, they are kept a profound fecret. Since a large quantity of artillery has been tent back from the Grand Army to Stralburgh, we learn that Prince Berthier only waits for the news of the ratificaticn of the peace with Roma, to give orders fur the whole army to return to France. Letters from Calla mention, that it is not yet de tided what part the Elettor of HetTe (hall take. From Drefden it appears, that preparations fur war were extremely aflive all through Saxony. The French troops on the Saxon frontier are reckoned at flatten thoufand men ; but Marfhal Bernadotte is in their rfar, whole corps is between forty and fifty thou. land firong. DUSSPLDORF, SEPT. 4. The States of the different provinces of the Grand Duchy of Berg, having been fummoned by a decree of the Grand Duke of the and of Augult laff, to al femble on the tft of September, at Duiteldorf, in a General Diet, to deliberate on the refpe6lice interefts of the Paid provinces, and alto upon the means of uniting all under one and the fame conflitution, the Membe rs of the States of the Duchies of Berg and Cleves, and thofe of the States of the Principality of Mortimer and the county of Bentheim, met here on Monday la R. They proceeded on the fame day, to the Grand Ducal Palace, where. at two o'clock in the afternoon, they met the Sovereign, and alfo M. Agar, &Unifier of the Finances, the Count de Neffel rode, Minifler of the Interior, and M. Fuchfive, Cmincilor of State. appointed by his Imperial and Royal Highnefs his Comlctilioners to the Diet.— Theta Commillioners were likewife joined by the other Conntellors of State. The Grand Duke ar rived at the Coale of Benrad, efcorted by his guard of honour, and having in his fuite feveral carriages, in which were the Civil and Military Officers of his Houfehold. The Commiffioners to the Diet, the Mem bars of that A trembly. and the Counfellors of State, entered with the Grand Duke into the Hall of the Counfel of State, where was lituated the throne of his Imperial and Royal Highnefs. The Grand Duke was feated on the throne, furrounded by the Officers of his Flonfehold, and the Guard of Honour, having by hit fide the two Miniflers and the Counfellurs of State, and before him the Members of the Diet, placed at the bottom of the Hal'. The Members of the No hie& of the Principality of Hnrflmar and the county ,of I3entheim, who had not taken the oath of fidelity, approached the throne, and promifed to be faithful to hi s Imperial and Royal Highnefs, and to the Confii. tistion of the country. The Grand Duke then opened the Diet with the knowing fpeech tt Gentlemen Members of theifobleffe, and Deputies of Towns of the Grand Duchy of Berg—When Divine Pawnor tica and the confidence of the Great Mut who now aflonithes the univerfe called me to the fovereigoty of this Greed Duchy, I contradted the obligation of rendering my fulled. happy.

We under-Rand that many of the difficulties that flood in the way have now been hap pily removed, the French Government having low tied much in its tone fince the rejetlion of the Ruffian Treaty, and (hewn a difpolition to treat on terms not degrading to thole from whom they leek a Peace. We believe we arc warranted in Rating, that a pace, and a good peace too, is now confidently expelled by his Majeßy's Miniflers. Some days ago Lord LAUDIA DAL' gave a grand dinner to the French Cabinet Miniflers. At the Meeting there was more than dual cordiality, and the general feeling was, that the 110(614 of the two nations would loon be terminated. We believe that it is intended its reflore Buenos Ayres to the King of STAIN, on the condition of this country enjoying a free trade with that quarter. THE EXPEDITIONS. After the 88th and 36th Regiments, another de. tachment of artillery will be embarked at Portf• mouth ; thereafter, the sth Foot, General Emc LAND'S Regimaat. and next the 17th Light Dragons dif • mounted. The reft of the Cavalry, particularly the heavy, will be embarked at Plymouth ; where, it is fuppofed, that the gallant Colonel Doarss, and the Blues. will immediately go. The 79th or Cameron Highlanders, 6r& battalion, commanded by Colonel CAMIROM, has by this time embarked, and perhaps failed. " PLYMOUTH, SEPTEMBER. 16. " Orders are Paid to be received this day, for the tranfports that havi the following troops on board, to go immediately to:the Sound, viz.—The Guards, pd and 62d Regiments of Foot, fix companies of the Rifle Corps, and a detachment of Artillery : the fur- ther report is, that they are bound 16 Sicily ; that the Royals Gaoaos, of tto guns, is to &oil them, and that they will fail in a day or two; the 45th and' 87th Regiments, with the remainder of the Ms Corps, are Paid to be, as was Ara intended, for the re-. mote expedition, and to wait further orders." • DEAL, SEPTEMEER r 7. " Sailed the V frigate 'with flat bottomed boats, from the Naval Yard at this place, to the Weft ward :—alto the EXPLOSION bomb, with a fleet of tranfports and outward bound teffels, under convoy for Portfmouth." French and Dutch papers have arrived, the for mer to the r tth, the latter to the isth intl. Private letters from the Hague to the tsth, are elto in town. The general complexion of all the intelligence they contain is warlike. Some of the letters of the 13th Rate that every thing was bottle and prepara tion for war, and that the Pruffian Ambatrador had left the Hague. If the latter fa& were corral, it would be a tirong indication of approaching hoßili. ties, but letters of the 14th mention that he was Rill at the Hague. The prevailing opinion, however, in Holland is, that a war between Profile and France is at no great diftance. In confirmation of this we need only Rate that the price of Colonial produce has advanced very confiderably beyond the rate at which it fold a month fume, and which was quite peace price. Both private letters and the Public Journals concur in Rating, that the encampments lately broken up were to be formed afrelh, particularly that of Zeilt, and that the military preparations indicate an apple- Notion that the fervice of the troops on the Continent may again be required. It is not doubted that the preparations ot Profile, joined to the rejation of the treaty concluded by M. D'Ouatic, have produced the new movements among the troops. j The Paris Papers do not indulge in fplenetie obfer r vations upon the attitude of Pruffia, but they contain a far more decifive proof of the feeling of B , ,Na• . They mention that orders were hourly ex „paled, for breaking up the camp of Meudon. In deed, we have been favoured with the perufal of let ters from Paris of the loth inllant, which mention, that it was esauagy brans at, and that the troops had marched for Germany. The letters from Paris, in the Dut:h Papers, affirm, that the orders for_ the eva. 'citation of Germany. (we much doubt whether any had beds iffued), were conotermandee. Should Pruffia Rand firm, the will, with her allies. Heffe ind Saxony, be able to bring a moll formi. dable army into the field—at leap zoo,osoo men, and we do tont believe that Bo cen number much more, either upon the Dutch frontier, or the borders of the North of Germany. A very great proportion of ;fieFrezch army, we may Rate it at one half, is Rationed in Italy and Dalmatia, or in thole corn. manding ppfitions from which they have exaftectobe dience from Außria for the lail fix months. Not a man of 'hale can be brought into the conteß with Pruffia, unlefs Bo AAAAA vs makes up his mind to te. tire from Naples, abandon Ragufa to the Montene grins, and truft rather to the honour than to the fears of Au&la for her neutrality. It is not, however, an. likely that he feels himfelf competent with the force he has to reduce Bras. We fhould not, therefore, be furprifed if he Ibould make an extraordinary effort to effcft this object ; and that, porfuing his late plati in Suabia, he Ihould endeavour, by a fyfemof vl gorous and inceffant attack, to annihilate the Pruirrafi army, and force his way to Berlin before the Ruffian auxiliaries could come to its Ai:lance. Both the Dutch and Paris papers give a (hocking I reprefentation of the Rate of the Neapolitan territory. The oppolltion to the French banditti derives vigour -4 `, and incrcafe from the unexampled barbarities which 41 arc employed to put it down. While the fangui nary Mass sera marches to quell an inforredion in his front, a snore formidable one breaks out in his rear. It appears that our (hips and troops in that quar ter are not inaaive. Debarkations have been made, the French fay unfuccefsfully attempted, on vari ous points of the eoefl in the vicinity of Naples, particularly in the province of Salerno. Thefe have had the effect of flopping the march of Mas siaa into Calabria, for at the middle of Auguß his ,head quarters had not been advanced farther than Cofenza. The Neapolitan Meadow offers, as a con folation for this unhappy profpefl, the important in. tclligence that peace has been eflablifhed between King Jocer st and the Bey of Tunis ! The commer cial eonfequences of this arrangement are Rated to be, that Afty Neapolitan valets will immediately 4 , proceed to the coat of Tunis to fifh—for coral. Such is the continency and authenticity of French intel ligence. The report of Spain having given orders for al. fembling an army of forty thoufand men, is repeated in there Papers. • His Maisirrr arrived yellerday about twelve o'clock at the gbeen's Palace from Windier.
