THE late troubles in Helvetia having occasioned inquietude to the neighbouring States, the French Government, as soon as it saw the disorder stopt, and its mediation demanded, hastened to make a communication on the subje& to the neighbouring Powers. The following is the Letter written on that occasion on the rsth inst. to M. de CErto, the Bavarian Minister. '-'HE MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS TO M. DE C ETTO. " Paris, 60. 15, iSO2 " Sir, The relations of neighbourhood which exist between Bavaria and Switzerland, and which ought to render yet More secure the new acquisitions which His Electoral High ness has made in Germany, call for his particular attention to the late events of which 'Helvetia has been the theatre. That Country has long been divided. The influence of in trigue and money, has hitherto prevented the Government Which had been established by the suffrages of the majority of the People, from becoming firmly established, and ac quiring the power necessary to its prescrvarion. " Whilst the opposition was confined to insidious and ob 3eUre menaces, the First Consul did not think it his duty to interfere in discussions to which circumstances, and the in fluence of the general Peace of Europe, promised to put an end• But at length the Enemies of the Helvetic People at tempted a more open opposition. Blood was shed, and Hel- Vetia was menaced with ruin. " In this frightful c.enjuudure of affairs, the wishes of all demanded the mediation of the First Consul. The Party even Whc had taken up arms against the Government, led away by the opinion of men who had deceived them, now saw the necessity of solemnly claiming the mediation of France. " The Continental Powers, neighbours of Helvetia, could not view without fear, the remote consequences of a disorder, the focus of which was established in that Coun try, and in this state of affairs, the Humanity, and the In ttrest of France, and of Europe, demanded of the First Consul that he should desist from ading upon the determi tion which he had taken, not tointermeddlein the affairs of Sw itzerland. He has spoken as a mediator and a friend, and Helvetia has been pi - icifieci. The People have returned to their homes, Those simple, and just men, seeing that they had been : 41 ") have menaced with violence% the Chiefs who sought ' l7) Slander France, and who in their public ads were per mitted to outrage her. General contempt now does justice to their clamours. " Such, Sir, are the fans which I have thought it my duty to communicate to you. The First Consul did nck 'wish to abandon a Country which stands in need of the friendship of France, and which, without the benefit of her influence, would have passed in a short time through all the horrors of anarchy under their ancient yoke, which they had so happily broken. " But at the time that he recognized the necessity of assisting the Helvetic Nation to fix at length - for itself, and in an irrevocable mariner, its constitutional destiny, lie did not cease for a moment to recollea, that the more per_ feet independence ought to be the basis of its Constitu tion. The right-of organizing a Government which Helvetia has acquired, is one of the glorious results of the War which Franc e supported against the most powerful Armies of Eu lope, and of the Treaties by which that War was terminated. " It is because Helvetia holds this right by the vittories and the benevolent policy of France, that the First Consul Wishes now to prnted the exercise of it, and to prevent a h andful of turbulent Emigrants, deserters from Foreign Ar ?flies, who wished to carry fire and sword into their Coon trY, from succeeding in their attempt to deprive of their lights the greater part of their Fellow-Citizens. " It is not by such men that the Treaty of Luneville can be invoked as to what respects Helvetia, but by the larger Portion of the People whom they wished to oppress, and Whose independence is guaranteed by that Treaty. Ar e these men so estimable, or so important a part of Het 'Vetia, as Argovia, the Pays de Vaud, and the Bailiwicks f ormerly subject, whose political rights were guaranteed by France, not only in the Treaty of Luneville, but in all those which, since the War, have strengthened the ancient ties between France and Helvetia There are those who seek to spread a report that the Htivetic Republic may be led by a spirit of imitation to e stablish with the First Consul those relations which unite him to the Italian Republic. But this idea is very far from the Intention oi the First Consul, who is inimical to all such dete rmination, and whose formal intention is to assist in the Gra n4ation of Switzerland, only for the purpose of ensuring to that Country an absolute Independence. " I am persuaded, Sir, that you will he extremely desir ous to transmit to His Eledoral Highness the communica tions which I have the honour to make to you, and of which there is no necessity for me to appreciate the importance. " Receive the assuranceof n - iy high consicigration, (Signed) " CH. MAU, TALLEYRAND." The Prcfei of Guada loupe has issued an order ' commanding all the Proprietors and Citizens of that Island to deliver in a List of all the Blacks and reopl:•c of Colour employed by them, either in culti vation, or as Domestics or Workmen, under the pe nalty of severe punishment incase they fail to obey. Citizen BEAUSSI, the French Chargé de Ajjaires to Tripoli, was received there on his return with great distinftion. Above thirty gaming-houses have been shut up in this City, and we are assured that none will be suffered to subsist in future, except those which have a communication with the interior of places of public amusement. It is said that the Minister of the Interior is to accompany the First Consul in the Journey which he is about to make to Havre, Rouen, and Cher_ I ° , irg, which is expeEted to take place very soon. AUGSBURG, OCT. r4.—The Chancellor of the B ISHOP of PASSAU, M. tie RADEMACHER, has re paired to Ratisbon, to solicit the Deputation of the Empire not to separate the City and Fortress ° f Passau from the rest of the Bishopric. It appears, moreover, that representations have been . 111 "de by the Mediating Powers, to engage the Court of Vienna to withdraw its Troops from the City and Bishopric ; already the Prince Bishop has notified to the Magistracy of Passau, that the Pfe sence of the Austrian Troops will not be of longer duration, and that it had no other obje& by the military occupation of the Country, than to prevent it from being dismembered. BASLE, OCT. 18.—The Troops belonging to Basle, which were ready to march on the first sig nal to join the Army of General BACHMANN, are to remain here until farther orders. It is said that the Diet of Sch , witz will govern the Republic until the Government is definitively organized, and the Members of the Central Government, who are to return to Berne, have given in their resignations.— The Ist and zd Helvetic Half-Brigades, ought to have arrived by this time in this City. The Troops on both sides are to be disbanded. BERNE, OCT. I7.—The Deputies which our Provisional Government sent in order to con sult with the Diet of Schwitz, respeeting the steps that ought to be taken in the present situa tion of affairs, have returned : they have brought an order to General BACHMANN, to disband the Confederate Army. Yesterday and the day be.. fore, the Contingent Troops belonging to the smaller Cantons returned home. Those belonging to Schwitz carried with them an Helvetic Standard, which they took in the Battle of the 3d inst. The Levies of Troops which were ordered in several of the Cantons, have been suspended. General AUF-DER-MAUR passed throught this. City a few days ago, on his way to Sehwitz. General BACHMANN is here. with his Staff. Citizen GUADOLPIIE, Secretary of -Lega-' tion to Citizen VERNINAC, has inviied the Com mission of Ten to re-assemble,-and has made some im. portant propositions to them. _Yesterday Gen. RAPP gave a grand dinner, at which General BACHMANN an d his Staff were present.°• The Helvetic Govern ment are not yet arrived here. CORFU, AUG. 3o.—The Secretary of the Rus sian Legation, M. NEMEROFSKI, yesterday killed himself in his own apartment. 'He discharged two pistols into his, body. His manners had conciliated the esteem of every body, and particularly of his Excellency Count MOCENEGN the Russian Pleni potentiary. • _RATISBON, OCT. IS. —The Deputation of the Empire held yesterday its fifteenth Sitting—Mentz and Hesse-Cassel voted for . ihe new Plan of Indem nities ; the majority is consequently in favour of that Plan. Bohemia, Saxony, and the Grand Mas ter of the Ter/tonic Order, have not yet voted.— The Deputatiqn have not yet agreed to a Conclusum ; they wait till the Minister of Bohemia has received instructions from Vienna. THE HAMBURGH MAIL. RATISBON, OCT. 15. • THE Russian Legation here has. receiyed instruc tions to accede to the alterations in the second Plan of Indemnities, as sent from Paris. The Russian and French Ministers gave in another Nute to the Deputation of the Empire on the •f3th, containing some emendations of the tith Article of the new Plan of Indemnities ; at the_ conclusion they again earnestly recommend to the Deputation to vote a Conclusum on the Plan. Many Reclamations have already been given 'in' against the new Plan of Indemnities. The most remarkable of,these, is that of the Deputy for the Eletiora - te of Hanover, relative to considerable. advantages granted to the City of Bremen, anti es pecially the grant of the distria and territory of Vegesack, which is claimed as territorial property . of the Eledorate of Hanover. A Letter from Calcutta, dated so late as the sth of May says—Letters have been received in Town, announcing the capture of the Adirve, Captain W. B. CiZEENWAY, by the Subtilite . privateer, Capt. PINA.un, on the z ist of March, three days after leaving Prince of Wales's Island for this Port, with a valuable cargo on board. The above privateer is the one that took the , L6ghland Chief, and her Com mander is perfe6tly well acquainted with the Preli minaries of Peace having been concluded in Europe we hope an example will be made of so daring a marauder. PINAUD put the whole of the officers, crew, and passengers of the At into an open boat, near Acheen ; but Captain GREENWAY he has detained on, board the privateer, and proceeded no one knows where, as it is not probable that he would go to the Mauritius, with such a flagrant outrage. A Gentleman in Canterbury-place, last .week bespoke a pair of boots, which were sent. home on Saturday, and the Gentleman being then out, the shop-boy left them with the maid. In a few moments afterwards a •man knocked at the door, and asked if a pair of boots had not been sent there from Mr. 's shop, and the tumid' answering in the affirmative, he said—" Oh !. those boots are not your master's, but have been sent by mistake. I am the Foreman, and come to take them to the Gentleman they were made for, and will afterwards bring your master's boots, in about a quarter of an hour." The maid, without any suspicion,..return ed him the boots, when the fellow thanked her, and very deliberately walked away with his booty. WINDSOR, Ocr. 2 6. Tx L FANI I wneti here, pass their rime between this and Frogmore. The KING since his return from Weymouth, has suffered much from a severe cold, but happily His •IVIAJEs'rY was List week quite recovered. The QUEEN, who bas like wise been indisposed, is now in much better health. The KING rises, as usual, about seven o'clock, the QUEEN and PRINCESSES about eight ; at half an hour after, the ROYAL FAMILY breakfast gether. At ten o'clock they attend prayerS at the Royal Chapel ; and about noon, His MA J ESTY rides out on horseback. By the bye, our Sovereign, who never looked in better health, is grown very lusty; this is ascribed to the little exercise he has taken since his return from Weymouth. The QUEEN and PRINCESSES take the air in their lan daulets about the same time that the King rides our. The week before last the Queen's Lodge was . very gay ;• a concert and cards every evening. On Monday last oa. zg, the Volunteer Asso ciation of St. Andrew, Holborn, and St. George, Queen-square, commanded by John Miller, Esq. (having been lately disembodied) dined at the White Hart Tavern, Holborn ; the Commandant for him self and his brother Officers, returned thanks to the Corps for their very steady and attentive condua during the whole time of their aaing in a military capacity, and for the very great respell and confi dence they had always unanimously shewn towards them, whereby the Corps had attained to a state of discipline unequalled by any of the same descrip tion. He had also the satisfaaion to state, that the portion of defence which they, in conjundion with others, afforded to the Country in a time of peculiar danger,• had met with. the warmest ap plause from every lover of his Country, and the cordial Thanks of His Majesty and both Howe; of Parliament. He concluded by assuring them that their firm attachment to him and his Brother Offi cers had made such an impression on their minds as* would 'be ever gratefully remembered by them.— This speech was received with loud and unani. mous applause, and the health of Captain Millet and the rest of the Officers was drank; when one of the Members, in the name of the rest, took the opportunity ,of acknowledging the high sense they entertained of the services the Officers had ren dered to the Corps, and that it was owing to their perseverance and diligence the Corps had obtained such a degree of credit ; and that, should circum stances at any future time render it necessary for the same exertions to be made, they should all to a man be found at their posts. Many loyal and constitutional toasts were given, and the evening ended with the most perfet conviviality. Cr;m.Con.;n Low Life. ---The following circum stances took place a few days since in a . village near Lewes, in Sussex:—An industrious Farmer who had one morning risen before his amts.: tomed time, to accompany one of his servants on a journey with his team, was met on the road by the Constable of the Hundred, who, in confidence told him, that he had a warrant to execute on a young man in his service; charged with bastardy, and requested his assistance in the execution of that duty, which the .Farmer readily promised, - and having committed the care of the team to his sera.' vant, returned with the Constable to his house, where they arrived before the family was stirring, and instantly proceeded to the Man's chamber, where no doubt was entertained of taking him in his bed,_ but 'this his mistress prevented, - by hay- • ing, in her husband's absence, admitted him to her own bed, where the poor cornuted Farmer,. by • his unexpeled return, had the mortification to dis.-„, cover him with his faithless rib ; but the yocrni adulterer' avoided the effels of tiis indignation and'' fury, by leaping from the - bed as he . approached it, and escaping, in his shirt, through the windii , ,v to a neighbouring wood, where, naked as he was, he concealed him,elf for some time ; but we hear •he has been•since taken, by virtue of the warrant that was issued against him, and married- to the girl who had charged him with the ad of bastardy. At thd - Middlesex Sessions on Tuesday, an in.: diament 'was preferred which prodUced much laughter. It was against Sarah Dawson, Saucy Bitt, for assaulting John Forger. The De fendant keeps a house in Monmouth-street, and . the Prosecutor lodged with her. It appeared that the elegant Betsey frequently saw company. At the time of which festivity a quarrel ensued, when playing at a game called Smut, at which these polite and refined Ladies used frequently to amuse themselves, and which Mr. ALLEY defined from his brief to consist of blacking each other a poste riori with soot and tallow ; which little recreation was a sort of forfeiture of the conditions of the . game. The Learned Mr. Forger, on being ques tioned what he was, replied, a Translator ; and some time was occupied before it could be tho roughly understood by the Court that this face tious son of Crispin meant a Cobler. During this trial the Court found great difficulty to preserve its necessary gravity.—The Defendant was ac quitted. Among the Prisoners now in Newgate for. trial at the present Old Bailey Sessions, is one of - the name of Francis Finlay, who has the unprecedent edly numerous list of fifteen Detainers against him —these are all for forgeries, and the greater part on different charges ; every separate Detainer, save twais under a distin& name, in the way of alias, as Francis Finlay, otherwise Captain Watts ; Major Graves ; Captain Wells; Major Brocke ; Captain Hardy ; Major Farell ; Major Brown ; Lieut.-Col. Farley, &c. &c. &c. Late on Saturday night, as some Ladies and Gen tlemen were returning from Kenninguin in a 'car riage, where they had been spending the evening, they were stopped,by two fellows armed with bind geons, who came out of Felix -street, near West minster_bridge ; but two Gentlemen who were a short distance off, observing the carriage suddenly stop, went to see the cause, when the villains ran off without effeding their purpose. On Sunday, about noon, a carriage was stopped by several footpads between Stratford and the sign of the Three Pigeons public.house, and the 'persons in it robbed. .T.,Air PEPSPf, ,- COURT OF KlNG's BLNCII, Otl .

LE MESURIE It V. THOM.PSCfN., This was an aflion on a Policy of Insurancc 'or; 4_ ship bound to Gibraltar with a cargo of flour. The Policy was . Cffened on account of the Trans.: port Board, and the ship in question was-war_ ranted American.- As she was going into Gibs raltar, she was captured by a Spanish ship or war, carried to Spain, libelled in the Adniiralt - y" Court there, and ultimately' cond;mned, The ground of COndeinnatiOn upon which the Spanish Tribunal proceeded, was, that the vessel was -goink' into Gibraltar, which at that time' wa's a blockaded Port by the Ships of Si Ni in. The Thcrpe of Co odemna: don alledged, that to enter a blockaded Port was-in contravention of the stipulations between Spain and the United States of America, and therefore it Ajudg_ ed the vessel lawful prize Much as it was matter of astonishment that Gibraltar should be considered in a state of- blockade by the Spaniards, yet.as their Court of Competent Jurisdiai,m had formally stated that fad as the ground of confiscation, the Under writers thought themselves entitled to resist the payment of the sums insured. The decree of the SpaniSh Court of Admiralty was given in evidence on the part of the Defendant but on the other hand it was contended, that at the:: time of effecting the insurance, all the facts respe6l,-J ing the situation of Gibraltar were equally - withirri the knowledge of the parties ; that there was-coh:. - i sequently nothing illegal in the ',contrail ; that the'i Underwriters were apprized of the circumstances constituting what the Spanish Court construed into -2 a blockade.

They remained confined till the following Sunday, without being able to \ come to any agreement. By this time two of the jury were so enfeebled, from confinement and fasting, that they were not able to endure their sufferings and' longer, and on an affidavit being made, stating the: peril of their situation, and their inability to bold out, two Jurors were withdrawn by consent of the patties, and no verdia was returned.
