Both Cdunt tuvtroyden's lon, were in the battle of Atifleylitz : the youngell, about thirteen years of age. was ordered to remain upon an Eminence, and obferve the movements of the grand army; but whoa the youth faw the danger his father. the Central, was expolid to, he (purred his horfe through iine yards, and over ditches; and palling through a (bower of balls, he took his fiand near his father. and ex with you I mull either claimed. Thio is my poll. Conquer or die." This hopeful youth remained in this murderous conflict liven hours, and has obtained the love and antra of the whole army. FRANKFORT, FEBRUARY E. Our deputies, Meffrs. Ganzesode, and Senator Milder, depart lu•ntorrow, for Paris. ifelterday all the bankers were offerable& and the eiiriuredinary meetings in the Senate are daily conti sued.

Yeflerday the following notice was publifhed by the Chancery of this City t *! The Burghers have been already Informed by the poldication of the sett, of the Maalfeito of the Imperor of the French and Xing at lab,. by which a contribution of four millions of francs was laid epos this city. %faille the citizens and the inhabitants WOO bordped with the quartering of an uncommon number of m a gi. which oceslioned en uncommon run upon the city chef!, we received a peetive declaration from Marfhal A ugereau, that if half the fum of four millions of francs were not paid in without delay, tbit city mull be infallibly expored to the expellee of pro v on, 'prawn for ten thoufand men, vritl.out any mitigation or abatelnent on the contrary. fllould the above furn be paid ac. cording to the conditions required, the burden ocearloned by the quartering of the troops, would be immediatdy alleviated ; and were flietber informed, that there was alfo reafon to hope for gracious roaliderstion or the Emperor, its relpedt to the other moiety. It wit Itiewife added, that the idea of eredting an hog'. pits, for four or five hundred tick, at the espeoce of the city of Vranitfort, would sot be luGfted Ivor. Uader the incalculable noliforture of being compelled to tub- . to thee and other rigorous mesfures, the Senate thought they could not fulfil their deny othervrife than by expreillog their fah roglioss to the emulitions propafed by his Esteelimey Martha!

The Council includes the firll military charafters of all parties, or, rather, that are above all party. The Conqueror of Egypt, Lord HUTCHINSON. IS to be the PreGdent ; and, among other great military eharaarrs, we rejoice to heat that General Moot it is to be one. One of the fira reseafures determined on, will be a very great reduCtion of the moll tapenlive part of our force, the Cavalry. It i► in agitation to do this by one of two modes, viz. the entire redueion dell the Heavy Cavalry, which are almotl ufelefs, and highly eapenfive ; or byreducing two troops ofeveryCavalry Regiment, light and heavy. If the fira is reforted to, our only Heavy Cavalry will be the feennd Regi.l ment of Life Guards, and the Horfe Guards (Blues,) to be formed into a third Regiment of Life Guards. The Foot Guards are an ezpenfive defcription of troops, and have been increafed much of late years : l it is Paid they will be reduced to the regular Ilrengtb of three regiments, as they were in 1793. It was for Come time doubtful whether the Earl of Rosswro, or Sir DASIT) DUNDA*, Mould have the Command in Chief in Scotland: much to the credit of the liberality of the new Adminillratinh, it has been given to Sir DAVID. Lord Hovot mime is mentioned as his fucceflor in the command of the Southern Dif trift. Lord Mota♦ is to have a moil important and earenfive command : from the Thames to the Hum. ber he is to be Commander in Chief. A very confiderable Brevet and Military Promotion is ezpeaed immediately, which will occalion cord'. &rabic changes in all commands and dißries. 13y the lall Hamburgh Mail, Govermbetit, we learn, received difpatches from Peterlburgh and Stockholm, on the fubjea, as is reported in private letteis, of certain propolitions which have been made by Pruffia, leading to a negotiation for a Continental Peace. Ruffia and Sweden, we continue to be at roved, pledge themfelves to regulate their conduit in flria confOrmity to the different treaties entered into with this country, The former is affembling a very numerous army on the Southern frontier. The French army in Germany now tolleas eontri. hutioni as orderly as if the raif.ng of money were the only objell of its efiablifhment, We have already Rated the robbery exercifed upon the free City of Frankfort. The neighbouring Sovereigns begin to fear that they will fonts (hare the fame fate. It is raid that a million will be impored upon the Arch. 'Chancellor of the Empire, who, it is reported, will be made Sovereign of the City OU - frankfort. The Fsmily of Se cw is condemned to pay a million. The Elelor of Hassa, it is thought, will he taxed at eight millions, or about 31,3,0001. We doubt if the Elector of SAXONY will efcape. The 'trembling of fo large a French army on the Lower Rhine has eaufed great uneaGnefs in Ger many. It can have but one of two objects in view : either to lay the neighbouring powers under contri bution ; or to intimidate Pruffia. which cannot but be averfe to Auliria being aggrandifed at the expellee of Turkey. Probably both of there objeds are in Naroxeou's view—on the former we fee him ailing already. It is reported that feveral German Prince•, cularly Medi, Darmiladt, and Maw Ufingen are to be obliged to raife regiments for the French fervice. In the mean time it is faid that Pcullia, Rußia, and Saxony, helitate to acknowledge B 's Kings. It is reported upon the Continent that the obje& of Count BeaIIBTOILF'S million to Berlin is to endeavour to procure Hamburgh for Denmark, at leaß to pro mote tome change tefpeeing its fovereignty. Private letters from the Continent Rate, that fele ral members of the B family remonßrated with NA►OLEON Oil the adoption of young Beaus/as. mots as his fun, and rcprefented it as repugnant to the contlittition. This interference. however, he took very ill, and threatened to reduce to their original in. fignificance thole who Mould venture to oppofe his pleafure. JOSEPN BONAPARTE, in defiance of she conllitution, will, it is thought, be King of Naples. It is fuppofed, however, that if Rill% would tecognife A~asra Emperor of France and King of Italy, favourable condi ions mi,!,ht be obtained for the Royal Family of Nei , les.

We parted from the fleet under the command of Lord Cocutioworio, on Sunday, the Bth of Decem ber: the Orion, Endyminn, and Westle, accom panied us.

On Monday the t6th, we thaped our corm& for Barcelona, in hopes of meeting the Orion, &c. who, we heard, were off that place, by a Polacre we bad fpnken, who had been examin-d by the Endymion. On Monday, about fix o'clock in the morning, the fea ttfumed a moll alarming appearance, the wind to the S.
