LONDON: 11101011 AT, BEPTVMBEIt I, 1614. 11 A.mone our extracts from the French Papers is a speculative article from Augsburgh, in Bavaria, re garding the politics of Austria, which it represents as dangerous to the peace and independence of the other Germanic States. This is evidently en attempt to PM jealousy among the German Princes against the heed of the empire. It is even hinted . that some Change should be made in the prerogatives of that power. The Baverians are made to complain of the vast accession of territory, which Austria is realis' ea the aide- Pt Italy.:' It is difficult knowing whether thei•P ate. the 1 sentiments of the Ho lmium themselves, their King, or of some solitary politician, giving. vent to a talkative inclination, or whether the article may not be of French manufacture, intended to have 'an effect en theapproaching deliberations at Vienna. The state of public opinion on the Continent is certainly very unsettled ; but we cannot but believe (those who bare an immediate and personal interest in the pro longation of war excepted) the general wish is for peace. In France and in this country we know there are many disposed to prolong the inhu man trade . and cry of war—many who' have fattened upon bloodshed, many whom the dliconti nuance of this unnatural means of deriving subsist ence has tnade ".ghauitt with woe," and like the eagles, " long to follow to the field some warlike laid ;f , .-others :there are to Whom the Ir i lsomi of reverberations of the cries of the dying, shirbl'teeital of scenes of desolation and misity, and the 44 pomp and circumstance" of conquest, are pecessary, merely far the purposes of description, and preset-fing a falling credit with the public for pews. These enemies to peace, it may well be. sup posed, will wish for a continuance of wit, andlidak they peroeive it in every malicious pasqulntda, led Scent it in every breeze that blows from the.pollotod quarter which blood has crimsoned with an sternal stain. But let us not thus strive to health the dove by croaking, nor let the wishes of a few be mistaken for the sentiments of the major part. Is oar opi nion the world is pretty generally persuaded that it has had enough of war and its coneeqietices.-- Twenty-five years is .quite Sutlicieat, we slsould think, to satisfy any moderate appetite for fighting; and if any additinitel arguments are wanted to con. vince us of the quantum of human happiness that has resulted to any party, from this long and unna tural struggle, there is not a country but can furnish enough, they will be (ilia engraren, we fear, in ton many hearth on too many tombs, supplied by ut too many pallid cheeks, and uttered in too rainy unavailing clies,and famishing voices, which it will be long ere peace can attune to mirth and gladness. 'Europe longs for repose, and this country as much as any requires the renovating influence of Peace, and a wise policy, that will secure the blessings of tranquillity by lessening our burl hens, .and allow us to take rank in the comforts of life with those whom we have rescued from thraldom, and look upon as in ferior to us in all other respects. Paris Papers are received to the 30th, from which we make the following extracts. . Some of them con. lain matter ludicrous enough : Pants ; Aun. Z9.—On the 21th instant, M. henry Yeattrßart, of Dunkirk, the descendant of the re- Leaintevisailor, Was irat7oduced to the king.. :His grwssaelher, Henry Jean-Bart, Commander of the Donal frigate, and his eldest son, were killed in an Utica with three English frigates. The Chevalier Dans, Sub-Prefect df St. Denis, had the honour of presenting yesterday a picture to the Kiftg, upon which were fixed two of the teeth a Shier) , IV., the whole of his mustachoes, and a small part of his linen. The New York letter, mentioned in oar Paper of the 21st inst. (article Nantes), concerning the sub mission of Pedon, was written by one of the first houses in that city, aid therefore a confirmation of it may be expected. Mastro, Ana. 7.—The Proclamation addressed by Viliawiceacirs tothe inhabitants of Cadia, against the introduction of foreign news, has failed in its effects. It would require a maritime blockade to preveut the Sarions rumours which reach us from every quarter, respectiug ' the pretensions ,of Kiug Charles IV. Our political affairs are unfortunately in a very unsettled state. The disorder of the finances, the di ffereece of opinions about America, are sources of j 11.111011041 which all the dedairiatioos sk of the world kill uoldiesipete. A - Pentium:non, AUG. 4.—The Marshals end De . .puties r f the Circle of this City have, according to old custom, presented on the 2Ath ult. to the Em • petor bread and salt upon a golden plate, hi a set. Hire of grid, cut and ornamented with divers figoret representing late events. 7 •. • ••• •4Y:N-~~~! gyp • • .0,0•011 6 ...! •••••-r Lennie, Aua. ere astonished to see hi Fore* .

Some of our chtemporaties are not disposed to pay • math attention to the paragraph from the Dutch Pat per., alleging the removal of many difficulties k way of the negociations at Ghent, and, it is &Wed s '. that the Commissioners have brought their confer ences to a conclusion. But the understanding to hich they have come is undoubtedly not that which can be called a rapture. The disposition and wish for peace has been clearly ascertained to be mutoal ; but a reference to the American Government has be come necessary. For this purpose an agent from the American Deputation has arrived in town to apply to the British Goveroment for the privileges of a cartel to the Neptune ' Republican vessel.!-- The Neptune lies beets ordered to get pottenburgh and to repair to Brest. OALLAM N I who is a.na tire of Geneva, will, we are told, make an excursion tng I to Switzerland, and the • other Commissioners will pursue their several inclinations, with the exception of Messrs. AnAsts and RussEtr„ who are to go to St. Petersborgh and Stockholm; to fulfil their apitointed duties as Ministers at those Courts. Such of the American public Agents as return to America, vie. Messrs. GALLATIN, CLAT, and BATA UN and their Secretaries, arelcibe assembled at • Brest, so es to be in readiness to depart..by the lit of October next.— ' Congress is . to meet the first week is November, when, it is probable, the.
