- I 1 The Fete of the 23d inst. the first day of the Republican year, .was celebrated with the greatest order. In the morning the people were entertained tvt th games, dances, horse- races, &c. In the evening, Which was very fine, every body was occupied in viewing the illuminations. The Concert, which was performed before the Palace of Government, was much better executed than it is in general. The.,.PIRST CONSUL, in o n-rand Costume, accompa nied by his two Colle.lgues, appeared in the Pavil_ lion, in the front of which the Orchestra was ereEted.• The fire-works were let off at nine o'clock, which was an hiur sooner than was expelled : it was done in order to prevent accidents. TheFißsrCoxson went to the Opera on the azd, in the uniform of the National Guard. On his ar . rival the 'House resounded with applause; whi c h wa s prolor.ged for a considerable time. After the Performance he set off for St. Cloud. Le Tourville, of 7+ guns, which left St. Domingo on the i 3th or August, is arrived at Brest. Th e intelligence which it brings is satisfaaory. The sicknes appears to abate. None of the Generals of not e have been attacked by the disease. .General 3...tenttce in good health. On rite Bth of August, Rear-Admiral DumANorß arrived there with reinforcements from Toulon. This voyage Was gond, and he had no sick. Le Vantour, flom Genoa, also arrived in good order. As to any thing further, the contagious fever which prevails at St. Domingo, the Havannah, and Jamaica, has been without example for fifty years past. The English Frigate R.l7r2na having struck on a rock near the Island of Jersey, was forced to run aground near Havre Saint Aubin. At the sitting of the Tribuoate of the 24th, GI& E • El. was eleaed President, and ALnISsoN, PER • Bosc, and CosrE, Secretaries. It is said that Mr. For: is about to leave Paris, to pass a fortnight with M. DE LA FAYETTE. RATISBON, SEPT. 15, ---An unexpeaed incident Las occurred respeaing the Indemnities. The Im perial Plenipotentiary, M. de Hucar n, has formally refused to ratify the Cond.-/sum of the Deputation of the Sib inst. for the adoption of the Plan propos ed by France and. Russia. This refusal has been riotified . to the Deputation, who held yesterday its fourth Sitting, when a very warm discus sion took place, and several very important de clarations were made. The Vote of the Count de GoEarz, the Minister of Brandenburgh, was particularly remarked : after solemnly Protest ing againsi the proceeding.; of the Imperial Potentiary, and in general againSt all further ad journment, he demanded that the Deputation should regulate entirely and definitively the Indemnities with the Ministers of France and Russia, without the . co-operation of the Plenipotentiaries of His IMPE RIAL MAJESTY. The Sub-delegate of Bavaria Voted. shortly afterwards to the same area. The result of, this Sitting has been an Address to the Plenipotentiary, inviting him in the most pressing Planner to aced,: to the Can't-In:um of the Bth of September. M, de Huost, notified , his Declaration in the . Form of a Decree of the Imperial Commission, which is contrary to received usage, and the Laws of the Empire. He founds his refusal principally upon t he adoption of the Plan of Indemnities being con. t ra'y. to the dispositions contained in the Conclusum, by which the Deputation engages to have regard . to the Reclamations transmitted to it by the par 'lies interested. He offers, as to any thins fur.. titer, to communicate all the Reclamations which than be addressed to him, to the Ministers of the Iwo Mediating Powers, and to enter with them in. to a conference upon the subjea. In the same Sitting of yesterday, the Direaorial IVlinister of iliajeilce communicated to the Dern-. two Notes, which are said to be very itraport- / ' from Citizen LAFoREr and the Baron de I3oHEER, but their contents have not transpired..! They are said to be very energetic. BERN E , SEPT. r6.—We learn from Basil, that Insnrreaion has broken out there. It was oc casioned in the following mariner : There had for some time subsisted a considerable degree of jealousy b etween the armed Citizens and the regular Troops of the Canton. A party of the former, encouraged, no doubt, by recent events, assembled suddenly, dtsarmed the Battalion of Soldiers, and nearly as sassinated the Commandant, Citizen Boxroßr. T hey aft erwar d s took possession of the Arsenal' and .the To wn -house. The Soldier s w h o were di sarme d have been sent home, and the gates of Basil have been kept shut for te,vo . days. A subscription has been entered into, and 500,000 livres have been col ieaed and sent to the Chiefs of the Insurreaion in the _smaller Cantons. - Persons who have lately arrived, fr om --, Z ur ich, circulated some alarming accounts, Which we do no; think entitled to entire credit,— 1 7. - llley state, that the sugpenSion of arms agreed upon between General ANDERMATT and the Inhabitants of Zurich were suddenly violated by the latter,- who made an unexpeaed Sortie from the City, and at first succeeded in repulsing the Helvetic Troops, but at length. the Citizens were driven back into the City, with the loss'of zoo men. That after this event Ge neral ANDERMATT had bombarded the City a second time, and had entered it as Conqueror, but that fortune had once more changed sides—the Inhabi tants rose upon the Helvetic Troops, defeated them, made General ANDERMATT prisoner, and cut off his head. These reports, though they do not ob tain entire credit, yet cause a great deal of dis- . quietUde. SEPTEMBER 17.-Our troubles assume a more threatening aspeft. The Government every day loses its Partisans. The hostile measures em ployed against ZUrich have alienated the minds of the Inhabitants of several Cantons who have not hitherto taken any part. The Deputies of the smaller Cantons have threatened a rupture of. the Armistice, on learning the re -commencement of the Bombardment of Zurich. The strong Castle of Arbourg has surrendered to the Insurgents in Argo via. Fear, trouble, and anarchy every where prevail. BASIL, SEPT. have not yet recei7ed any positive information respefting . the events which are said to have lately happened at Zurich. The Armistice concluded by General ANDERMATT and the smaller Cantons, has enabled him to' colica all his forces. near that city ; they amount to about 3000 men. In the Negotiation between . the Gene ral and the Municipality of Zurich, the former pro posed the following terms : Ist. The disarming of the Citizens. 21. That the Inhabitants of Zurich should make good all . the expellees which the Helvetic Republic had been put to in consequence of their Insurrection. 3d. That certain persons who were Chiefs in the Insurrec tion should be given up. The Deputies from the City agreed to the two former propositions, but refused to submit to the last. The Negotiations were then broken off, and the Town was bombarded; but in consequence of an Insurrection in the Canton of Baden, General AN DERMATT was obliged to raise the blockade of Zurich. An Insurtedion broke out in the neigh bourhood ,of Lucerne, but the Chiefs having been taken, the Peasants soon dispersed. We are assured that the Prussian Ambassador at Paris has announced to the Helvetic Minister there, that His PRUSSIAN MAJESTY has recognized the present Helvetic Constitution and Government. VIENNA, SEPT. t t.—The Capitulation made between the Sublime Porte and the famous PASS_ WAN OcLou has been aaually signed. The Pacha, as might be expeded, has obtained a complete Amnesty 'for all past offences, and has even been assured by his Government of pay ment of the arrears due to his Troops. On his part, PAsswAN engages to remain perfectly obedient, and moreover to disband his Troops immediately on their receiving the money due to them. .It is not very probable, however, that this celebrated Rebel, who has exercised pillage during so many years, and who has been the Sovereign of one of the Provinces of the Turkish Empire, will consent to deprive himself of his forces,when he may obtain new means of supporting them on an imposing footing. The Peace which prevails at this moment throughout Europe, furnishes, iris true, to the Sublime Porte the means of attacking the Rebels in its States, but PASSWAN OcLou has already evinced, that be knows how to maintain his power either in Peace or War, being assured of the neutrality of the neisgh bouring Powers. FLORENCE, SEPT. B.—Our Sovereigns and the Prince CHARLES Louis set off from this city on the morning of the 4th, with a suite of about eighty persons, and a numerous guard. The KING has been detained at Pisa by a slight indisposition, but it is hoped that in two or three days he will be able to continue his journey to. Leghorn, to embark on board the Squadron which is-to convey the Royal Family to Spain. • At Selmeston Fair, on Monday last, the shew of cattle, sheep, and lambs, was much larger than had heen witnessed at that place for a great number of years past, but the sale was so extremely dull that very tew of either kind found purchasers, though the prices experienced a very considerable depression. A pen of lambs, for which the proprietor asked 2ss. brought him.only I 7s. per head.—The fine weather occasioned the attendance at this fair to be unusually numerous. At Arundel, Groombridge, and Robertsbridge Fairs, on Saturday, sheep and lambs also met a heavy sale at reduced prices. Last Thursday a fire happened in the parish of Puricknole, five miles from Bridportond burnt out tz poor families. _Amongst the sufferers was one George Walbregg, who lived in a cottage of his own, and had been. bed-riddenfor nine years ; yet such was the effeet of the fright; that it restored him to the temporary use .of his limbs ;he walked about among th ose w h o h a d been burni out with him, ,to many of whom, t h oug h such near neigh bours, he was totally unknown, on account of his long lirevious confinement.- THE DUTCH.

Many other Generals are also arrived to be present at the reviews. AND 'HER LETTER, SAME DATE. Yesterday and to-day were . held the usual au ' tumnal reviews by Field-Marshal MOLLENDORF. The King and his Brothers, wh:) came from Pots dam, were pleased to express their gracious appro bation of the warlike exercises of the Garrison, and particularly their satisfaffion at the astonishing ac_ . tivity of the so generally beloved General MoLL F N. DO RF. This evening His Majesty goes again to Potsdam, when His Highness the Prince of MECK LENBURG, the Duke Of SAXE WEIMAR, &C. arc expeOed to-morrow, to be present at the reviews ; for which all the Regiments in Garrison here march to Potsdam. • - , The Danish Ambassador, Count BAUDISSIN, is returned from Denmark, and the Swedish Ambas sador from his estate. Our City, by the favour of the King, will now have a convenient place for sea-bathing in Co/bey, where the necessary buildings, &c. arc to be erect ed close to the shore : zoo,ooo dollar 3 are destined for this purpose, of which 60,000 are for the sea son from 18oz to 1803. ST. PETERSBURGH, AuG. 31. I-Irs E R lAL 'MAJESTY ILis appointed FichL Marshal COunt KAMEN';KI Governor of St. 'Peters burgh. SEPTEMBER 3. Yesterday the EMPEROR set off' for Kramosdo, where 20,000 men are encamped ;* and to-day the Emriess IYowdger goes from Pawlawsk to Gatschina for the autumn. His Imrai AL MAJESTY has published the fol lowing Ukase : " flaying perceived in my late journey through several Governments, that notwithstanding previ- - ous orders that no particular preparations which might be burdensome to the People should be in any case made on account of this journey, the Magis 7 trates had, however, permitted several things to the contrary ; that in many Towns and Villages, gates with various ornaments were purposely ered ed, the streets filled with trees and illuminated, and other similar arrangethentS made by the People— We have thought it 'necessary, to prevent similar occurrences on the occasion of any tutufe jout'ney either of myself or of any other person of the Impe rial House, to publish the following Rescript to the Senate.—ist, That no one be ordered by the Ma aistrates either to meet or to escort us on the road. zd, That the high roads be no where repaired on the occasion of such journey, hut only at the usual time.-3d, This prOhibition is to be applied, with particular saianess, to ornamenting the streets and villages, and decking them with trees without rstots, as the forests arc thereby destroyed only fur the sake of a temporary appearance.-4th, That no person of the Nobility be ordered to receive us at the different stations, except an Assessor of the Court of the Distria, or according to the dire&ion of the Marshal of the Nobility, one or two persons of the Nobles to provide . for the regulation of the relays of horses, and the due paythent of the money for the same." The following is a proof of the love of justice which distinguishes our EMPEROR.-Many com.l plaints having been made from Kaluga, of the un just sentences passed iu the Courts there, the EM. EROR, to come at the truth of them, sent thither a Senator, who stopped some days at Kaluga, as if he had undertaken the journey merely to visit . his own estate in the neighbourhood. During his stay he found that every, thing was as it had been re ported : he therefore went unexpeaedly into the Courts of Justice and spewed, the Imperial Mandate ; in consequence of which the Judges are now before the Criminal Court there, and the Governor is or dered hitLr to give the most minute account of . his conduit before the Senate. A letter lately received from the East India Com pany's faCtory at Canton, contains an account, taken from the Pekin Gazette, of the general state of the Chinese dominions, taken by the express .or der of the new Emperor, in order to establish and regulate a proper police, and appoint Magistrates in the different distrits where the police has been dele6live : by this account it appears, that the Ern, pire is divided into sixteen provinces, which contain one hundred and fifty-five towns of the first rank ; • one thousand three hundred and twelve towns of the second rank ; two thousand three hundred and fifty-seven fortified towns, and about fifty-five mil lions of people. Twenty-two different families have been on the throne; the family now reigning is that of the Tartars,. who conquered in the year 16.4.0. All the towns are so much alike, that those • who know one are acquainted with all. On Monday se'nnight was caught alive, in the nursery-garden of Messrs. Brown, at Slough, a bird of the black-bird species, with its plumage nearly all of a clear and beautiful white, excepting a black feather in each wing, and some on the head : it is a very fine young bird, but had the misfortune to' lose its tail at the time it ,was caught, in whi c h was only one black fe at h er , t h e others were entirely white. • The following singular occurrence' at Harrow_ gate has been communicated to us by a Gentleman recently returned from'thatfashionable resort.-L-A servant had, been "riding a small stallion poney, the property of a physician in Manchester,' and alighting, slackly -retained the rein whilst he stood with his back towards ; the poney &redly seized the man, threw him on the ground, knelt on him, and in the most vengeful .manner, worried himr to death the mangled corpse was rescued with diffi culty from the devouring beast, THE EAGLE AND THE DEAlti, A PAELt. Once on a time (if Fante says right}, A'Braicri Eagle; large and bright, In a Cathedral Church was placed; And which in truth the building Upon this Eagle's tail was wrote, Some Latin words, meant to denote The Giver; and which was a place on Which the Parson read the le:son—, This Eagle's lame thro' all the town By ev'ry little boy was known (And ev'ry little boy will say, What pity iwas to take't away.) There happen'd in that Town to be A. as many D_lans there be; But yet a common man they say, Such as we moat with ev'ry ;iay— Tho' to be sure he looked as big, As any Bishop With his wig— And then his CAssock all so gay, Was worn in common ev'ry day. It happen'd that this Bird, I wean, Had never some ;Low pleased the Dean— Who thouOt with safety that he ;night Remove it somewhere from his sight ; Thinking it not (as first 'twas meant;, Unto the Church an ornament. Long time this Bird had not been seen- 7 No one supposing that the Dean Had sold the consecrated creature—No— 'Twas cptite impossible it should be so.' What ! sell.an Eagle that was given By some good man of God Why Heaven revolts at such a thought !! - • But be't as 'twill the Bird was bought ... • BY a right honest Brazier, as we're told, And by the very Reverend Dean was soki) ot when at night the Dean laid down - To sleep—his dreams were not his own--- Sometimes the Eagle hovered round him, And to his bed with talons bound him, His eyes were fire—his tail was gold— His legs, most dreadful to behold ! Were bOth clumpfooted ! and with piercing shrieks,: I TWas thus he plagued the Dean tbr many weeks. For many weeks the Dean looked sad, His eyes were sunk, his visage sad— But lo ! some pitying Clergy eased his pain, And placed the Eagle in the Church again. . .

Wlnte Pease 38s a 415 63 The following audacious fraud has been prac. tised within these few days 'Towner, ban, ker at NeWbury, having resided at Lymington for: the bathing season, and principally at an Inn, for the enjoyment of society, a young Medical Gentle, man, of genteel address, - arrived from Dorsetshire, and having formed an intimacy with Mr. T. he confided to him his intention of settling there in his profession, and after a few days he took a fur.,' nished house at 901. a year, to which he brought his wife. Mr. Toomer went home on business - , and learnt that- 7031. had been remitted from London, by -Lubbock and Co. to his order at Wareham : circumstances induced him to suspect. his medical friend ; he hastened back to Lyming ton, and the Doaor and his lady being engaged in making. purchases, they were soon met witti, anti informed. of the awkwatd suspicion, and he w4l taken before a Magistr a te f or exam i nat i on , luckily the Innkeepe r was possessed of a written order froM the Doctor, for wine,.and on compar ing it with the letter to the banker, they proved to be the same hand-writing. The result was, tha; the Doaor was orde r ed i nt o t h e safe keeping of she: Constable, for further examination, but they were permitted to take him to his own.bouse ; and whilst they were regaling themselves below, be made Isis escape from a chamber window, and has Upt • since been heard Tvwnsend, and another 13..my,Strect officer, arrived the day after, with intent . to escort the delinquent to London, and •were much mortified by ttAe disappointment arising from his escape. The crime amounts to forgery, .some of the" bills remitted having required Mr. Tr.'sin„ donement, which was put, without troubling on the subjel. The reason ven fir the sudden caa, on Lubbock and Co- Was, shat Mr. T. had met tvitli a small estate which -he was very anxious to chitse. Monday forenoon, the Coroner's Jury sat at the Work-house in Little Gray's-Inn-lanc, on the body of James Wilson (servant to Mr. Cruise, No: 3, Stone-buildings, Lincon's.rnn), - who went into Mr. Game's, who keeps the sign of the Dolphin in Red-lion-street, 'Holborn, and called for a pit,: of beer; shortly after he went down in the cellar, and Mrs. Game hearing the repOrt of a pistol, thought it was one of the barrels' in the cellar that had burst ; on going into the cellar, however, there lay the body of the unfortunate man liftle . ss; wel tering -in gore. He had put the muzzle of, the pistol into his. mouth, and blown out his.brains; the ball had carried away the back part of hii skull.•• His left arm was broke 'by the tall, •It appeared, on evidence, 'before the jury, that the deceased had shew•n symptoms of 'derangement for three months prior 'to his dce . case.
