POR/s/CIN INTELLIGENCE. INULNDNI AND DU ICH PAPERS. • HAGUE, Ole 20. The Autumnal Session of the Batavian Legis lative Body has igen declared this day at an end by the President of Assembly. They will, however, assemble again to-murrow for the purpose of deli- ~qa berating on a financial plan. These deliberations seal be no longer retarded by a difference whichlii dsorto subsisted between the Legislative Body and the Government of State. 'file Government, in pre , venting the Plan, confined itself to the total of the expences of each Department, reserving to itself the distribution of the gress sums amongst the different breeehos of the mope& se Departments. The s lpgi s latire Body asserted, on the contrary, that it had a right to judge, not only of the expences of each De partment in general. but of each branch in particu lar. This dispute has been submitted to tlk• decision of a committee composed of vine Members of the Government of State, as many Legislative, and is Many Members of the Court of National Justice. This Crottmiuion assembled on the tCth and t4th ansteets, and has interpreted the Constitution in fabostrigthe opinion Of the Government, by a ma jority of fourteen against twelve. AAAAAA ORT, DtC. 10. There is so great a want of money here, that Erzhange is at 9 per cent. ; at Nuremberg II ; at :Augsburg 7 per cent. Ike. In the Hanseatic Towns it is still worse. This is attributed to the great sale of English Manufaetures. The English, in order to ]rocure /sorter, have sold at a reduced rate, and liken Bills of Exchange, at three and six months. Thus money, to the amount of one hundred millions of florins, passes into England. MADRID, N0V. 22. The English Charge d'Afairry departed from hence on the 14th instant for Lisbon ; and on the 19th General Boarnoireille arrived here to resume Nis former post at our Court. We do not, however, .learn any orders have be sent, ordering our Ambassador to quit the Conn of London, notwith standing intelligence has been received that Admi ral Cochnne, on the North-west coast, is imitating do aoudad of Nelson along that of Catalonia. The frigate the Ulna, from Mexico, having on hoard oboist three millions of piastres, which was refused evanesce at Cadir, on account of the epidemy, is eddy arrived at Vigo. The Veitgenza and Rai: fro, which are got safe into port, had each the like quantity of treasure on board. CONST ANTINOPLE, OCT. 21. To-day an Order of the Sultan was published to all Magistrates, Deputy Magistrates, Com nocaders, High and other Constituted Authorities, the several Diwries on the Asiatic Coast of the Mediterranean, commanding and admonishing them Dot to suffer or commit any aft of hostility against 101141thwth Commerce, the French Consuls, Nler -6111111t.K Traiellars, nor even to treat the latter WINFs as bas been the case in some places, but even , M dbrd them all possible favour and proteclion ; it the Sultan's express desire, that all the Ar ticles of Peace and Amity, which bind the two paean, be atriely observed and fulfilled. An the trade between Constantinople and Alex aidleia.i. well as other Egyptian Ports, goes on withoutlnterruption, wo have reason to conclude that order and tranquillity prevail in that country. Notwithstanding Marshal Bruise's baggage ha Men forwarded to France, it is thought he will wait ailkoturn of a Courier, whom he has dispatched to "Ma.

E BILITISII PH tES:I. I AM I)ON, SATURDAY. DECBMILIL 2;). The dispute between Mr. Fosrmt and Lord Dosiounumont bas considerably abated; but we understand by letters from Dublin, that the measure irbich gave rise to it is regarded in the same light as at first in that city. 'the Commissioners, have consulted some ni the Crown Lawyers, whom opinion coincides with their own determina- tins, not to leclgt.ise the persons nominated by Mr. Foots' as duly authorised and appointed to serve under them as Officers of the Revenue. l'he suspen sion of the old Officers upon mere suspicion has . . plunged several families into great distress, and is universally con.iskred a very harsh proceeding, to ;ay no ww - ...: of it. It is reported in the Ministerial circles, that one of the first measures to come under the discussion of Parliament, is the Defensive Treaty lately signed be tween Great Britain and Russia. Accord ingto rumour, it is equally honourable to both countries, and will be followed by a new Commercial Treaty new nego tiating, which, if carried into effet% will deprive France of those advantages which she derived from her commercial treaties with Russia of 1786 and I SO!. Government is also said to he at this moment negotiating with Eli, SWEDISIt MAJESTY, not only a Defensive but a Subsidiary Treaty, which, when agreed to and settled, will extend to Russia, and form a triple alliance between the three States. We have heard from respettable authority, that the Cabinet of Berlin is well acquainted with all the par ticulars of these negotiations, and though, not yet a patty, has given its promise never to oppose their execution. Loyal and well-informed persons, both on the Continent and in this country, hope much from the change, which has appeared of late, in the politics of His PILSSIAN MAJAST V. It is generally ascribed to a discovery, saisl to have beet' made by the Mar quis of Lecciststar, of a secret treaty having been signed between France and Austria, last Augost, at Aix-la-Chapelle ; the first consequence of which was, the resolution of the Emperor of GER/AA/4r, in imitation of BON•PARTE, to declare himself an he reditary Emperor of Austria. Many persons pre tend, that this secret treaty contains, in several ar tides, the favourite plan of Boa AAAAAA and ZYR AND. for the partition of the Turkish Empire, and that the communication of it to the OTTO% AN Poore, by the Russ! AN Am sass/awe, at Constanti nople, is the principal cause that the GRA ND Slow) a has refused to acknowledge FRANCIS 11. an here ditary Emperor of Austria, and the Corsican Usurper an Emperor of the French. Whether such secret treaty really subsists or not, the diaatorial influence of the Cabinet of St. Cloud at Vienna cannot escape the notice and regret of the most impartial observer. Even in such a rela tively indifferent occurrence, as the inauguration of FR A C4CIS 11. in his new dignity, the insolent inter ference of France may be plainly seen. This cere mony was put off duee different times, because So. did not app rave of its being carried into effeA, until his 01.V3 sacrilegious coronation had take place, which was deferred en account of the delay of the Po ifc'k, arrival at Paris. A memorial has been written by Doaor 11 , N se is at Paris, addresseskto the Irish Officers in the armies of the several continental powers, particularly to those in the Austrian service. It sets out with an assurance that an attempt will be shortly made to liberate Ireland from what the writer falsely and traitorously calls the bondage and thraldom of England, under which that country has in long suf ered. and promises that due t otice shall be given of the s,iling of the army for that purpose, so as to afford . n opportunity to all those inclined to share in the glory of delivering their country, ,of joining in the expedition. It assures them, that immedi ately upon their arrival at the head quartets of the troops destined for the invasion of their native country, they shall receive such promotion and re. compence as they shall be intitlel to and their pa triotism deserves; but that such dastardly cow ards as should negled this call, and decline the honour to which they are invited, shall have their names crated from the list of Pa triots, and that their families shall be treated with contempt. Such, we are assured, is the substance of this paper, several of which are in the possession of Government. It is said to be written in a very spi rited and elegant style. Annexed to it is a list of the officers, to whom it is addressed, and are thus invited to assist the French in the destiudion of their native land. But, however captivating the language, or insidious the arguments of the Medi cal Traitor may be, we fancy this new address will not add much to the strength of the Invading Army. There is no Irish Officer in the service of any Continental Power, except France, who can be the dupe of such an invitation. If there be any de. scription of Irishmen, who must shudder more than ..ny other at the poison thus offered to his lips by the Doctor under cover of a salutary Medicine, it must be the Irishman, who, whether in Austrian, Russian, or Prussian service, has marked the bloody steps of the French armies upon the Continent ; who has witnessed their plunder and devastation ; their cruelties and their crimes, in the very countries which they entered as friends; in the very villages where they were received as deliverers, and the cities which they took under their fostering care and pro. teflion. What Irishman can so well appreciate the curses of French fraternity, as he who, in continental service, has had an opportunity of seeing and knowing the misery they have brought upon their friends, nay, upon their own country ; their own families; and fellow-citizens. And if he has seen that they have not spared either themselves . ~ or their friends, what horrors must he not anticipate from their presence in IrelAnd, in an enemy's coun try, where their temper mast be soured by priva tions, and their fury enflamed by resistance and defeats ?, Our Correspondent at Vienna writes us under the Gth instant, as follows: " During the two months our Sovereign was absent with his Imperial Con sort from this capital, Their MAJESTIES gained the hearts of all their subjefts in the provinces blessed with their presence. Foreigners can form but little idea of the popularity of the Esteems and Ea- PRESS, how much they are beloved, and how well they deserve to be beloved. During their journey Their MAJESTIES travelled without any escort, and almost without any suite; they were only accom panied by twelve noblemen and ladies, and ten ser• rants. Every where they rewarded the meritorious, encouraged the industrious, assisted the indigent, and relieved the wants of their people. This year's harvest having miscarried in Bohemia, Their Wt ./Ernes took a million of florins (80,0001.) from their private purse, and sent one of their Chamber lains to the neighbouring states to purchase grain, which is to be distributed equally in every suffer ing parish in that kingdom. The city of Prague having it in contemplation to prepare a triumphal arch, and expend great sums in other rejoicings, the EMPEROR wrote a letter with his own hand to the Governor, stating, that he could enjoy no satisfaction so long as his people suffered, and that if the intent of the City of Prague was, to shew its fidelity and attachernent to its Sovereign, the most pleasing way, and the most congenial to his feelings would be, to bestow those sums destined for shews, fetes, and illuminations, on their suffzring fellow subjefts.' A magazine was immediately ereeted, and grain purchased, enough to support until next year's harrest, 4 20,000 poor in that city. General Count II ADOSCIL, having, one day, during the Eurzaoa's stay at Prague, hinted at the necessity of Sovereigns keeping up their rank, and to cause it tube admired and remembered by some moon. merits, as statues or triumphal arches, His MAJESTY, in an hour afterwards, riding with the same Genesul, round the ramparts, where the magazine is placed, said to him, pointing at the magazine, this is my triumphal arch ;' then shewing him the numerous poor, to whom the Magistrates were distributing provisions,' these' continued His MAJ Si Iv, are my statues !' " This magazine is since called the trium phal arch of Famseis 11. "All the expenses for the ceremon7 of the Emelt aon's inauguration as an hereditary &MP hillOß of Aus feta, are to be paid by this Soveamose him. self, who has calculated, that by refusing hiniself and His IMPERIAL Consols' some of the super fluities of their tables, eighteen months will, with out taxes on the people, defray the wliok. In the present scarcity, this measure is, besides, An example which the Princes of his blood and the higher ritnks of his subieas will no cloak imitate, and cannot hut be serviceable to the less rich, and particularly to the poor. It is a fad, that when this determination of the Emersion was known, all the troops in gar rison at Vienna offered to give up one day's pay in the month, until all the inauguration expences were Acquitted, in which offer, the troops of the whole Austrian army joined. The Em prima, however, in thanking them for this proof of their affeaion, ordered the Arch-duke CHARLts to write a circular letter, with his refusal of it. These alts, in doing equal houour to the Sovereign and to the subjeas, chew what resources FRANCIS 11. might command, should the insults and provocations of BON A P *ars oblige him to join Russia and England. and, by his arms, try to avenge those numerous wrongs which he has experienced from revolutionat y France." We have received some French and Dutch PAp..rs, but none of a later date than chow which have al ready come to hand. Their substance is given in a preceding column. Yesterday the RUISIAN AMBASSADOR transaded business at Lord II a RitOWIIV'S Office, from three o'clock till halt past four. The Cabinet Council, which sat on Thursday at Lord Ila 'Kowa v's Office in Downing -street. met at our, and continued sitting until nine o'clock at night, during which time the Members did not take the least refreshment. It was attended by the Duke of Morrraost. Lords MC:. V ILI.e and HANKRISUIIY, Vutount CASTLRILAGN, Mr. PITT, and three other Members. Summonses have been issued for another Council to be held next week, when a very full at tendance is expelled. l'hursday night, dispatches were made up at the Admiralty, and sent off to Lord KEITH, at Deal. No letters of marque against the Spaniards have yet been ordered to he made out. The Adortral Nelson, law' a, from Copenhagen, for London, is lost on the coast of Norfolk. Dispatches have been received at the Admiralty from Lord A. GARDNER, announcing the appear ance of several strange sail off the Irish coast. From the vigilance of the Admiralty Board, in hav ing ordered a reinforcement to be sent to that station, there is no doubt but the gallant Admiral will be able to withstand any force the enemy may send against him. The Officers and seamen of the Beet were all in the best health and spirits. PARISIAN FASIIIQ ~.
