MAILS. ARF.IV DUE. I olland ft:llCh I THE SUN. SOLEM 2,CIS DICE:RE FALSUM AUDEAT ? LOI*:DON, NOVEMBER 9, 1 S 2. WE this morning received the ParTs Papers to the 7*.h inst. The long depending and im portant question respeaing the Indemnities in Germany, is at length in substance terminated. His 'NITER I AL MAJ ESTY'S Minister at Ratisbon has declared, that " the FM; EROR, agreeable to his anxiety for the maintenance of tranquillity, having removed every obstacle which opposed the success of his Negotiations at Paris, and having taken for the basis of the Conclusive Arrangement, the Supplement of Indemnity offered by the French Government ;t;elj . for the DUKE of TuscANY, His IMPERIAL MAI cs.ry hopes to see an amicable understanding immediately established," &c. The Deputation at katisbon still, however, con tinues its Sittings, but it is merely for the regula tion of some subordinate points. The entrance of the French Troops into Switzer land does not appear to have intimidated the smaller Cantons; they are making strong preparations for resistance. The Diet of Schwitz had a long discus sion upon the Summons which was transmitted to them by Citizen RAPP, in which they were ordered to resign their authority, and discontinue their Sittings ; and the result of their deliberation was an absolute refusal.to comply with the Mandate. Hostilities may therefore be expected soon to corn_ mence ; indeed some trifling skirmishes have taken. place. The last Letters from Rouen are dated the - 4th inst. At that time the FIRST CONSUL was still in that City, but he was expeaed to leave it next morning at day-break ; but whether to go to Dieppe, Havre, &c. or to return'to Path, does not appear to have been known with any certainty. The Mcniteur contains another angry Fbillipic against this Country ; it is written - with a greater confusion of ideas, and with as much malignity, as, the celebrated article of the 29th. The Funds are 54. e Public cannot be snrprized at the little sen sation which the arrival of M. A.NDREosst has ex cites-74f his arrival had been preceded by ACTS, on the part of the French Government, which evinced the ire %1 Spirit of Peace, his appearance would have diffused ❑niversal joy—but we do not want the name of Peace, but the essence ofit--We If) not wont the mere residence of an Ambassador amongst us, but the Relations of Anlity. . . If M. ANDREOSSI, comes to assert thepreteri. skins detailed in the Manifesto of The Meniteur of Odober 29, or to avow the malignant invedives which that Paper of the 6th, received.this morn ing, chuses to utter against the Brirish Nation, it is not difficult to preclia., that his stay here will be shoat-----If he comes really with a con., .ciliatory disposition, it will be.. met, on the part of His Majesty's Ministers, with similar &filaments. The FIRST CQNSUL, in waving every point of etiquette, and sending his Ambassador, means certainly, as much as such an Aft alone can do so, to hold out the appeapince of a Pacific Dis_ position ; but we should have trusted much more ip the sincerity of such a disposition, if no such Article had appeared in the Official Paper of France, As that to which we refer. We consider that Paper as extremely important, because, comparing the sentiments it contains with the proceedings of the FIR S T C0N6171., we cannot but look upon it as an Avowal of the principles upon which he is deter rained to aft—and if so, while that determination lasts, we fear. there can be no real Peace between this cour.try and'France. It has been said, however, that the document to Nvhich we refer, fhostile as it is to the British In /erests, and incompatible as the principle it con_ rains, would be to the continuance of Peace be- . i•,ween the two Countries), if they were the real entitpent, - ; of the Government of France, may mean nothing more than a retaliation upon the People of /his Country, for permitting the free discussion of the Principles of the Consular Government in our Newspapers, and the severe reflediohs which have been published at different times,. respe4ing the condua of Franc: towards other Powers.—We should be happy to persuade ourselves, that this is 411 that is meant---but if this is really all that is in tended, it is a little' unfortunate, that this Paper 'should have appeared in the Of:cial Journal. The new English Newspaper,, established precisely for the inlrpose of assailing our Government, would I a l yt been tl;e proper vehicle for 5.c1) an attack --r_ There we 'might have been told, that we had de frauded the Austrians—abandoned the R1413;41111 and massacred the Danes, without our attaching any importance' to such a charge—But when The Honiteur states these things—The P.loniteur, on ,terstood to be published under the eye of the Go vernment, and to contain nothing which has not been apptoved of by the highest authority—end thi, only a 'Week before the arrival of the Ambas sador Of Peace—we must pause before we can as. sert, that M. ANDREWS! Ilealiy brings the Olive branch in his hand. It is not improbable that the CHIEF CONSUL may mean to say, " In sending my Ambassador, I intend to she w you that I wish for Peace.—ln vi siting my Ports, I mean also to shew you, that, lest it should be necessary, I am making prepara tions for War."—tut Ministers will consider mea sures not assertions, and will look, not to aipear once; but to fates. We do not like to argue the in ability of France to make war, or the ability of our own country to support it—such statements are usu. ally'greatly exaggerated on both sides, and gene rally tend to mischief—but we can state abundant reasons to prove, that Peace is the interest of both, and that it never was more so, than at the present period. France does not want an extension of ter ritory, or of influence, or control. Her people have heard enough of conquest, of triumph, and of glory ; and have felt enough of misery. They want quiet and comfort, and happiness. England has preserved her Constitution through a most ardu ous confliet. She has assisted many of the other Powers of Europe to defend their Independence ; and she terminates the contest with her resources great and improving, and her dominions entire. What objeCt has she in the renewal of war ? All she can desire is, to preserve her Safety and Independence. If the measures which France hat lately taken en danger these, they must be resisted. The policy of France ought to diecare to the CHIEF CONSUL, not to take measures which have this tendency. The policy of England linperiously calls upon the King's Ministers to oppose such measures, and, if necessary, by force of arms. We are among the lovers of Peace, but of Peace only, en the duration of which we can place confi dence. Without that confidence, Peace-is-destitute of ail its value. The question now how can it best be preserved, so as to afford us its real advan tages ?—Not, we contend, by suffering. the FLR:,T CONSUL of Trance to prccecd upon 'a system of ag. grandizement and interference with other natiens, and admitting that we have no concern in such pro ceediings ; but by a firm and resolute remonstrance against this system, and a deterMination to resist those measures which are calculated to enforce it. If the sole consideration now was the preservation of peace between England and France, such a con. dun, I,veiconfidently believe, would he more likely to attain that objet, than a system of Concession. But whether such a condo& leads to Peace or War, it is that only which, in the present state of things, can premise to the country the preservation of i ts essential interests, and it is that only which, we are confident, His Majesty's Ministers will pursue. A Report was in general .circulation yesterday upon 'Change, that it was ,tho.'intention of Go vernment to insert a Notice in the Gazette of this evening, for all Military Officers that are absent from their Regiments to join them without' d e lay ; and further, that Recruiting Officers were to be im mediately appointed to raise men for the Army:— Although we cannot contradid this statement, we certainly do not believe it. It had, .however, a trifling influence on the Funds. Yesterday a Detachment of the Royal Marines, under the Command of Lieut. Col. Moo RSOM, marched into Deptford from Chatham, to do duty in the Dock-yard there. Yesterday morning, a Division of the Fourth, or, King's. own Regiment, under the Command of Captain DALES, marched into SittingboUrn, from . 'Chatham, on their.way to Dover. Orders have been received at Dover, to pay every possible attention to M. Sc NuA LP E rick, En voy Extraordinary from the Batavian Republic, in case of his arrival there, which is daily expeeted. A new Board of Control is, it seems, likely to he established as a kind of medium between the Board of Admiralty, and the - Navy, Vidualling and Sick and Hurt Offices. This new Board . 'of Control, it' is said, is. to consist of two Naval Of ficers, 'two Gentlemen of acknowledged experience in public business, and two gentlemen Of the Law. The measure, it is understood, has been particularly recommended by Earl ST. VINCENT. A set of Chambers has already been taken,' Lists of the Freeholders arranged, Clerks employed, and other necessary preparations made for the vigorous Prosecution of Mr.MA r tvw Ait'LNo Petition against the late Eledion and Return fkthe County of Mid dlesex, in the ensuing Session:Of rarlment. Mr. VAucHAs„ who had so .long the superin, tendance of, the affairs of the French Prisoners in England, has left his late residence at Hampstead, and gone, we understand, to Paris. He acquitted himself throughout the whole of M. OTTO'S Sion, in the most creditable manner to himself; aria attention to the interests of the Governpleni wa§ employed.. PARIS, Nov . 6. (FROM TILE MONITEUR.) WHAT is the interest which the Hostile Faction of Europe Lakes in the affairs of the Swiss Insurgents? It is easy, to see that it wishes to make the Saaisr a new jersey, In order to contrive Plots, pay Traitors, spread Libels, receive all the Criminals, the Ene mies of France, and do in the East, what it has constantly done by mepns of the position of jersey in the It is desirous, in particular, of disturbing the, fine Manufaaures of Lyons, which are rising from their ruins, and tend to turn the balance of Commerce in favour of French Industry. What is the interest of France ? It is to have good neighbours and• sure friends-. In the South, the KING of SPAIN, the Ally of France by inclination as well as interest, and the Italian and Ligurian Republics, which enter into its federative system. The Swiss, the DUKE of BAVARIA, the good PRINCE of BADEN, the KIL'TG of PRUSSIA, 1111 d llol land, in the North and East. The Hostile Faction of Europe, which wishes to agitate the Continent, not find in these States, either accomplices or tolerance. These Agitators, however, never sleep—they made endeavours at Genoa, in Switzerland, and in Holland. Their contrivances assumed a consistence in Switz(r/and, when the Proclamation of the 3oth of September calmed all. Every thing returned into its natural state—into that ,state which on all sides will dis play the fine Territory of France, surrounded by friendly People. That state is the result of ten years of triumphs, of hazards, of labours, and of immense sacrifices. The Peace of Luneville, the _Preliminaries . of Lon don, and the Peace of Amiens, so far from changing any thing, have consolilate'd all. Why should they now attempt what they have hitherto been unable to succeed in ? Do they think we are become cowards ? Do they think we are less strung than we have ever been ? It is more easy'for the waves of the Ocean to beat down the Rocks which have braved their fury for forty ages, than for the H:stile Fac7ion of Europe and Mankind to re-kindle War with all its horrors, in the bosom of the West ; and above all, to turn pale for an in stant, the Star of the French People. An hundred of the Consular Guard have set cut for Beauvais. The First Consul will-stop in that Town, on his return to St. Cloud. _ _ Madame JOSEPH BortAPAB.Ts is delivered of, a Daughter. The ARCHBISHOP of MA7,ANEs has suspended a Priest of his diocese, for having recommended to a dying person to restore to the Church some c;-drvant Ecclesiastical Property which he acquired. ROUEN, Nov. 4.—On , Wednesday the First Consul returned from Llbeuf 'at tour in the after noon, accompanied by Citizen GUERIN, Chief of the Legion of Gendarmerie. In the evening the First 'Consul went to the Exchange, where the Merchants had prepared a Fete. - He then viewed the speeirnens of the Manula&ures of the Depart rnent of ‘ Seine h/ferieure. In the evening there - Was a Ball, at • which the First Consul and Ma, dame BoNAPARTE were present. This day at whs, the_lykrst Consul proceeded to the Champ de giar;, where several Battalions, together with the National Guard, and Volunteers of Rouen, de filed before him. The Minister of the Marine has set out for Havre, for which place it is thought the First Con sul will set out at break of day. BASLE, OCT. zB.—We have received positive information that ALoys ItE ING convoked' a meet_ . ing of the. Diet of Schcwitz, and read to them the. summons, of General Rm. After a very• warm discu4sioni they determined not to submit, but to. .remain united. The Proclaniation of,the Chief Consul has produced no Cfftd' in any of the' Eastern Cantons. 'The Authorities constituted by the In. surgents in the. smaller. Cantom, in the Gritout, and in Lucerne, retain their full - power.. OCTOBER 3o.—The Provisional Authorities 91 Zurich, that is to say, the Chiefs of the Insurrec tional Government, intimidated by the conduit ot . the Peasants, who had risen in a mass to shake off their Government, have sent to Schaffhausen, to request assistance to reduce these pretended Re bels ; in consequence of which the Troops of Schaffhausen were detached to Winterthur, but they re -11 * , Wert. by desertion, to zso men. In the mean time the Peasants assembled in great numbera at Kitt_ gait, aid d4fermined to recall their Deputy from the Diet oi§Chsuitz. The Provisional Government has sent back the Circular Letter which was sent by the Helvetic Government, without even . open ing it, and have resolved to wait the arrival of the French Troops, rather than yield. •The Insurgents are be4inning tp fprm intrenchments in the moun tain*? The number e£ Free 1i 'lmps tlla; will occupy S , tv;tzerlaid, it is supposed, will excemi 30,000. It is ezpeCted that thc Landamman DOLDEU will soon be dismissed. VIrNITA, OCT. 23.—Three principal objects at present occupy our Politics : the first is, the ji)urney which the ARCHDU7:E will very soon take to Paris i the second is, the cite of the Dll:cf. ly of Parma ; some say it will be given to the KING of SARDINIA, for whom Engla,vd and Rns;ia interest themselves strongly ; but it . appears 'from the Public Ads at Ratisbon, that Ruriia and France are inseparably united, and that our Court can obtain nothina,lur by their mutual consent. :•. An Especial Court of Aldermen was yesterday held at Gnikihall—Present, the LORD rVIANO it, the Lord Mayor eled, 13 Aldermen, Mr. Common Serjeuni; and the Sheriff:. - After the Proceedings of the last Courts of Alder_ men and Common Council were read and confirmed,, the thanks were unanimously voted to Sir join* Er'oatn, Knight, and ordered to be published in the Morning and Evening Papers. (See the Front of this Paper,) A poor Man of Westminster, was admitted an OuLPensioner of Emanuel Hospital, on the recom... mendation of the Lord Mayor.

Denton, Thomas Denham, Robert Tyrrell, Wai. Truste, John Woolley, John Rook, 'and John Brown ; the four last having set v ed but one year, were continued of course. The Court, after ordering several Bills and Sala ries to be paid, proceeded to the Hustings, and the Lord Mayor elect was sworn into the Office of Lord Mayor for the year ensuing, by the Town Clerk, after which followed the usual ceremony of the seve ral Officers resigning their respedive Offices to his Lordship, who re-instated them immediately.

Mr. TALBOT, Son of Lady ANT TALBOT, is going out one. of The Secretaries •in Lord Wi-irr woimes embassy : he is a young Gentleman of elegant manners, and of very promising abilities.
