The objet of the tiefcent being obtained, the troops would natu rally reonsbark, and their departure is as ',aurally magnified into a %dewy by the French.

Is it potSble that the Emperor has given his formal con currence to the utter extinhion of the Germanic Body ender its old head, and to the ellablifitment of a new Germanic Body, of which BOULPAILTS would be the efficient ruler ? This would be deplorable ; for though the Emperor of RUSSIA might not be able to prevent there changes at prefent, he is the Sove reign in Europe the leaf under the temptation, or neeeffity, of formally ratifying them. The minor Paris Journals Hate, that the dirce(Goas which •had been carried on in that capital f.r the arrangement of the affairs of Germany terminated on the I sth ult. and that the Minifters of the Kings of Bavaria and Wirtemberg, the Elector of Baden, the Landgrave of Helfe DarmAadt, the Duke of Cleves and Berg, the Princes of the Houfes of Naffau, the Prince d'Yfembourg, the Prince of Hohenzollern, the Prince d'Aremberg, the Prince of Salm, the Count de la Leyen, he. have ceneluded a Treaty of Alliance and Reciprocal Guarantee under the title of a The Federation of the Rhine !" It is believed that they have formed the refulution of feparating from the Germanic Body. GAETA. The Capture of Gaeta is officially announced. The Articles of Capitulation were fettled on the tfith of July, and the garrison was to embark in the oxide of the following day. when the French were to be put in poffelEou of the Works. The place was well de. tattled. The enemy opened their fire on the 7th, and it was not until the r Ildt, when a great part of the town was defiroyed, and two predicable breaches effeded, that the garrifon offered to furrender. The Prince of Hasse. who is laid to have been feverely wounded, went on board an Englith frigate, previous to the furrender of Gaeta, in confequence of which the adjuftment of the terms devolved upon fome Officers of inferior confideration. It will appear, from the Articles of Capitulation, that the gelato obtained very honourable terms. The Official Paper gives none of the details of the liege, but the minor Journals mention. that fonts ineffedual efforts were made by the Engliffi gon•boats to annoy the ►eGeg• en. It silo appears. that a diverfion was atteelpted on the fide of Garigliano. HAMBURGH PAPERS. No Mail from Hamburgh has arrived ; but we have received ne Cerrtheademe to the 3otls A letter from Vienaa, of the atft ult. given inane of theft papers, Rates, that the Ruffian Commandant had refafed to furrender Cattaro, in confequente of Rein& being occupied by the French, and becaufe his previous orders were applicable to other circus. fiances.

The publi. cation of the new conflitation for Germany will foots appear. The whole of the plan was projetted and matured at Paris, between TALL AAAAA D and the Envoys of the Confederated Courts. Nothing but the ratification feems to have been entruaed to the deliberation of the perfons they reprefented. The Emperor of Russia, we believe, has come to a final determination refpating the difpute between Pruffsa and Sweden. The Pruffitan Colonel Kitt/MIAMI and a petfon attached to the Swedith Legation at Sr. Peterflurgb, both left that capital about the fame time, with difpatches for their refpettive Sovereigns.
