PARIS, OCT. 30. The Minister of the Interior arrived at -Rouen, on the 27th, at eight in the evening. BERN E , OCT. 25. —Sixteen hundred men, of the 16th Demi-hrigade, have occupied the City of Bade. Il e arrival of the French Troops has strangely disconcerted the Agitators, who a short time be fore had positively asserted that they would not enter Switzerland. The Government has certain intormatidn that in the Cantons of Argovie and So /eiere the people are yet labouring in a counter revolptionary scheme, and howeve - r burdensome the Presence of the French Troops may be to our Coun- T rY, we cannot dissemble, that without them, we should be still a prey to insurrection and anarchy. General NE Y attended this morning the Sitting of the Senate he manifested the most favourable sentiments w the Helvetic Government, and assured them that lie would give them every support in his Power to re-establish public tranquillity. The Se_ 'late have agreed to the Decree which follows. The ' n omination of the Deputies also took place this morning.

Citizen RAM' set out yesterday for -Basle, whence he will go to Zurich, where he will Probably b e p rece d e d by some F renc h Battalions.— We are assured, that two Battalions stationed in the Prickthal, have entered the Canton of Argovie, and that they are directing their march towards Zurich, of which place they are -to form the Garrison. We flay then expect the cessation of those arrests which now daily take place. Citizen Xalv 'AR BRONTJER, the Auth or o f some much-esteemed Works has been lately arrested, an d expose d to t h e i nsu l ts o f t h e triumphant party. than Having proved, that for more a year, he had taken no part in Political Dis cussions, he was liberated, but be has been exiled for ever from the Canton of Zurich.

The ; 4:11 'Ellott of GERM; NY having announced his in kention of occupying his different possessions, the R IN G of PRUSSIA, the FIRST CONSUL, and the '"ERott of RuSsi hastened to announce whim, that it would not be proper that his Troops should Pass th e limits smirked out, or that th e y s h ou ld ke Possession of any other territory than that assi gned as an indemnity to the Archduke Fistni mAND. N evertheless, without any regard to this declara ti°ll, or to that made at Berlin, the Austrian Troops took possession of Passau, and the Plenipotentiary of his Imperial Majesty informed the Diet, that the Austrian Troops would not evacuate Passau unless the other Princes evacuated the Territories of which they had ta k en possess i on, wh i ch proves that his !'operial Majesty placed no value on the declira- Lon of the Mediating Powers. p It the n p rocee d s to state, that the Mediating owers guaranree Passau to the ELECTOR of .BA /ARIA, and that if within 6o days it is not eva tqated by the Austrian Forces, the Governments of France and Prussia, in conjunftion with Bavaria, 6 hali unite to assure to the latter its ancient limits °2l the right of the Inn, and the possession of Forcers, which is adjudged to her, • (Signed) TALL EYRAND.

RATISBON, OCTOBER 19.—The Deputation of the Empire held its seventeenth Sitting this day. The Minister of Saxony has acceded to the new Plan of Indemnities. The Minister of Bohemia and the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order have still deferred their votes. Th e Deputation was d gain occupied, in this Sitting,with the Provision for the Secularized Clergy. A Courier from Paris arrived here day, who this. I • continued his route for Fienna. BERNE, OCT. 24..—Yesterday evening a Batta . lion of the io4th French Demi_brigade entered Berne from Bienne. The Army of the Confederates is not yet dissolv ed, althouf:h it has been so reported for several days. The Diet of Schwitz has recently confirmed the Unconstitutional Authorities, .established since the Insurreetion, in the different Cantons. The Senate has not yet appointed its Deputies to Paris, the nomination will be made very shortly. VIENNA, OCT. 16.—The EMPEROR has prohi ted M. DE COBENTZEL, Vice-Chancellor, from receiving Letters addressed to him by the Chiefs of the Armed Assemblies of Berne. His IMPERIAL MAJESTY has manifested a desire that tranquillity should be promptly re-established in Switzerland, and shews a full confidence in the part taken by the FIRST CONSUL, to restore repose to that unfortu nate Nation, to place it in a way of enjoying its Independence, and resuming, at length, its rank amongst the Powers of Europe. The Correspondence continues to be very alive between our Court, and those of Landon and Peters_ burgh. The changes which have been made in the Ministry of Russia are here, as at Petersburgh, the subje't of general conversation. It is more im portant to observe, that the EMPEROR ir. augment ing the authority of the Senate, establishes his Throne upon the most solid basis. His IMPERIAL MAJESTY' has charged his Inter_ nuncio at Cowstantinoisle, to demand from the PoRTE the Free Navigation of the Danube to the Black Sea. • The Russian Grand Duke, CoNsratcerriii, will pass the winter at Vienna. HAGUE, OCT. 22.—Private Letters from Peters.- burgh of the zd inst. state, that the Ministers of France and England, residing in that Capital, had presented Notes in the names of their respective Governments to His IMPERIAL MAJESTY, in order to engage him to charge himself with the guarantee of Malta, under the Treaty of Amiens. BASLE, OCT. 24.. —The Courier whom General RAPT' sent to Schewitz to summon the Diet to dissolve itself, returned to Berne on the z Tst, at eleven at night. He brings the answer of the fa_ mows ALOYS REDING, who as President of that Assembly wrote very laconically to Citizen RAPP, " that having received his dispatch at a late hour (ten at night), there was not time to convoke the Diet to notify to them his summons, and that the Courier being in a hurry to depart, he had confin ed himself to acknos,vlege-the receipt of the letter." This dilatory answer having been immediately communicated by:Citizen RAPP to the Aid-de-Camp of General NEY, who waited at Berne the answer of the Diet, the latter d: parted in consequence for Geneva, and shortly after his arrival in that City, General NEY set out for Berne, where he arrived on the 23d in the morning. Having been made acquainted with the bad f►ith of the Diet, which instead of disbanding its Army and dissolving itself, had organized anew the Coun ter Revolution in several Cantons disposed to return under the dominion of the Helvetic Government, he expedited Couriers to die French Commanders sta tioned on the frontiers, to march their troops into Switzerland. The unforeseen arrival of General NEY at Berne,' which was announced to the Pubiic by a dis Charge of ry pieces of cannon from the ramparts, by, : order of Gen. RAPP, spread terror in that City, where it was supposed that the cannonade announced a new 6 )111 -- ter Revolution: but the PrefeCt was charged by the Landamman, DoLDER, to tranquillize the Pub lic by a Proclamation, which was published the same morning. General NEY unites in his person the military and diplomatic powers.—He will be assisted by General RArr in his important functions. The superior Authorities of Zurich, Schalfban- . sen, Sc!cure, Basle, &c. composed of the zealous partisans Of BACHMANN, REDING, and WATTE VILLE, have not hitherto'been willing to submit to the Proclamation of BONAPARTE. They have pro tested against the Helvetic Garrisons, which have been announced to them. At Basle a part of the Bourgeoise announced, in strong terms, their deter minatiun to oppose by force, the Helvetic Troops. A measure of the Diet of Schlaitz has aug mented the agitation, that Body having summoned the Cantons to send off anew their Contingents to the Cantons of Zurich, Si. Gall, Turgolfia, &c. where the Partizans of the Helvetic Government have had, for some days past, the upper hand.— This summons, although agreed to in the c;-devant Sovereign Cities of Basle, Schaffhausen, Soleure, &c. has met with opposition in the Country. The French alone are capable of putting an end to this anarchy, they ate entering Switzerland at all points. The 16th Demi-Brigade, which was lately in the Frickthal, is on their march for St. Gall. The following is. the copy of a Bill which is con spicuously placed in the Libraries at Brighton : " His Royal Highness's Harriers leave the kernel at to A. M. and throw offevery Monday neatTort slade ; Wednesday, Oatcham Windmill ; !Friday, near the Race Course. it is requested that Gentle. men will ride so as not to endanger the hounds, or impede their hunting; and as it is His Royal Highness's particular wish that the Agriculture of the Country should not be injured, Gentlemen are desired not to ride into plantations, or over turnips, rape, or newly sown corn ; and that those who can not dispense with the attendance of their Servants • in the Field, will order them strictly to observe the above regulations, and .to keep at a considerable distance from thellounds.". THE DUTCH AIL, BASLE, Ocr. 17 Otta terrors on the approach of the Prench Troops, which were on the eve of entering Swit zerland, have been removed: This deliverance we owe to the exertions of one of our fellow-citizens, M. Furz, of Basle. This M. FUTZ, who had studied the mathematical sciences, was about twenty years ago sent for to St. Peretsburgh, by his uncle, the celebrated Professor 4ttLER, likewise a nati ve of Basle, and unde r his,aitspices became a celebrated teacher, gained the faVOur of the present EMPEROR, and became a Member of the Russian Committee of Instruction. This worthy man so warmly ex erted himself in application to the Russian narch, on behalf of his wretched Country, that the EMPEROR sent instructions - to his AmbasSador at Paris, Count MARCOFF, to employ his offices most vigorously with the First Consul in favour of Swit zerland. Some weeks ago, the Diet of Schwitz sent M. i\'IULLENEN to Paris, in order to lay before BONA_ CARTE the affairs of Switzerland in their proper light. He immediately wa i te d u p on t h e R ussian - Ambassador, in order, by hisintrodudion, to ob tain the object of his journey. Count MARcou, who had already been commissioned by the EM PEROR to that effel, accompanied M. MULLENEN both to TALLEYRAND and the FIRST CONSUL, and when the latter became informed more corredly of the present state of Switzerland, he signed the Sol loWing conditions That no French Troops should enter Switzerland. 1. That the Helvetic Government at Lausanne should re pair to Berne, and after they had settled the accounts of their Administration, give in their resignation. 3. That the Swiss Diet should likewise repair• to Berne, there continue the functions of Government, and send an Ambassador to Paris, who should be recognized. 4. That Deputies should he sent from each Canton to Paris, and there, removed from all influence, form a Con stitution suited to Switzerland. ST. PETERSBURGH, Ocr. 8. Tti E day before yesterday we had another storm, still more violent than that olthe zd of this month, and which has done very great damage both to buildings and ships. The wind , vas South-west, and the Neva rose eight feet and two inches : all the lower parts of the City were under water; some large ships damaged a part of the fine granite Banks of the Neva ; many bloats, with corn, Szc. were sunk, and we •were justly apprehensive of such an inundation as. in 1777, when the storm abated to wards six o'clock. The damage, however, is very considerable, and is not yet to be estimated. Of the losses at sea, we have not as yet any informa tion. The EMPEROR has published an Ukase, in which he observes, that he has been acquainted that the best part • of the 'Nobility and Citizens avoid the elections and consequently the service of the State, by which means offices fill into the hands of per sons unfit for them. The Senate comrdanded order the Governors of Provinces to signify to the Nobility, by means-of their Mar shals, and to the Citizens, by their Chief Magi strates, that it 'will be highly agreeable to. the Em- PEROR, if they, in fUture, attend all eleClions more, punaually,' an'd' thus concu r , a ccor di ng to t h e b est of their abilities, by, promoting the choice of -pro per persons to the advantage as well of themselves as of their country. HAGUE, OCT. i 6. IN the Sitting of the Legislative Body of this day, a Message was read from the Administration of the States, proposing two Regulations, one-for dividing the Departments of the Republic into Circles and Territorial Assemblies, and the other relating to Parishes and the Right of Voting. it was resolved that these Messages should be printed, and in the mean time be put irvro the hands of Ci_ tizens SIDERIUS, Van .LENNEP, Van SORSBECK, CUYPERS, Van der Zoo, CARSTEN, CREMER, de JoNoE, and LULOTS, for consideration and adVice. A .Message from the Administration of the States was also read, proposing a general Pardon for all Petty Officers and Common Soldiers or Sailors, who have been guilty of desertion, and who, within the course of three months, shall join their Ships or Corps to which they belonged. Those, however are to be excepted horn this Pardon who deserted to the Enemy, carrying with them their arms and baggage. This Message was put into the hands of Citizens HILDEWIERS, LEWE, BUSCH, VISCHER, and RAMBONNET, for consider ation and advice. A Petition was taken into consideration from WYCHARD PETERSON, requesting the remission of the remaining time of the banishment to which he was condemned. The Netherlandish East India Company, with the Administration of the States, came to the fol lowing Resolution on the loth instant :—" To leave every thing in its present state till the Admi. is t ratio* shall have received the Report of a Com mission, consisting of four Commissioners and a Se cretary, to be sent out to India by the first oppor tunity. This Commission shall assume the power of the Governor General, and be invested with un limited authotity." STOCKHOLM, OCT. IS. YESTERDAY the newly appointed Danish Minister to our Court, Count B LOOM ' E j arrived here: The machine invented in . Saotl44l, for the distil lation of spirits, is prohibited by a.

At a Board of Commissioners held Ob Mondarlasty at Chelsea College; for the purpose:of examining up wards of three hundred invalid Soldiers, recommend ed to that Insritition; Patrick Tenet' was committed to priso:l by the attending Magistrate, for deliver:: ing a forged di;charge, purporting to be the dis charge of Genetal HEW ITT, of the r Lai Regiment of Foot, with iitentto defraud Hss NIAIEsTr. L A W PII:POPn COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. SITTIUGS AEFORE Loan ELLENZOROUGU AND SPrCiAt JURIES, IN GUILTHIALL, LONDON BLAGRAVE 'V. BARROW AND OTHERS TH E cause having been called on, the Parties and Counsel on both sides consulted for a while ) after which Mr. GIB as said—Although this cause was settle& he ought to say a word on it. This was an aaiori I by Mr. Blagrave against the Defendants, for inn. puting to him that he had been guilty of Perjury. Mr. GIBBS said, that he was of Counsel for one of the Defendants. objea of Mr. Blagrave, by this aaion, was to clear his charaacr, and aL though the Parties had settled the business, yet he owed it, out of pure justice to Mr. Blagrave, to say that no imputation whatever rested, on the cha.. racer of that Gentleman from any thing that had been imputed to him by the Defendants, and he trusted that Mr. Blagrave's object would be attained by this declaration thus publicly made by the fendants' Counsel. Mr. PARK said, that he was Counsel for one of the Defendants ; lie was to be acquitted, for he was merely summoned as a Witness. Lord ELIANBOROUGH said, it was prCper he should observe, that while he was Attorney.. General application was made to him to enter a nolle pro.: seoui in thiS case, but that Mr. 131 ;grave, the Dew fendant in that cause, resisted that application, and desired he Might have a public vindication of his charafter, and with.‘vhich desire his Lordship said he thought it his duty to comply ; the result was, that at the appointed time, Mr. Blagrave appeared in Court, but there was no Prosecutor, and he ..vas of course pronounced not guilty. His Lordship thought it due to the charafter of a proLssional man for him to say this. A verdict, with nominal damages, was then en.: tered against one of the Defendants, and another of them was acquitted, subjea.to the conditions pi , rately agreed upon between the Parties. CRAWFORD AND OTHERS ‘7.1. STIRLING AND oTHrnse This was an action, Mr. GARzow said, between two Houses of high commercial credit, and there was no imputation upon the charaCter of either. The Plaintiffs, sought to recover the sum of 52 0. ss. 6d., nothing turned upon the sum, for the amount of it was admitted; and it was the balance due to the Plaintiffs on account of the credit they gave to a person of the name of Kirkpatrick who had become bankrupt, The Plaintiffs resided at Glasgow, and one of their partners, Mr. Andrew Mitchel, had the manages merit of their concerns in London. Mr. Kirkpatrick had transactions - with the Plaintiffs and Defendants, and Mr.. Mitchel was Guarantee of Mr. Kirki.a.. trick to the Defendants to a given amount ; and the only question in the Cause was, whether the De fendants had a right to set off what was due to them from Kirkpatrick, against this demand made by the Plaintiffs ?—To this there were two objet. tions ; first, that Mr. Andrew Mitchel had no authority from the other Partners of the house to ty, - -Lui.4t: Ole Guatauck;c tie (Ikl fbr Mr. Kirkpatrick, and unless they adopted his aCi, he could not bind them in such a case, because the,becoming Guaran tee. was ..not within the scope of any partnership, and indeed that, and giving bonds, or entering into bail, etc.. was always exempted in the articles of all partnership.—The next reason was, that the demand of the Defendants on Kirkpatrick-, was uncertain, inasmuch as it was not known what diVidend might be made under his commission, and no unliquidated demand could, by Law, be made the subject of a set-off. It appeared in the course of the Cause, that the Defendants had a fair claim for the set-off whiclt they pleaded, for that not only had Mr. Mitchel become the Guarantee of Mr. Kirkpatrick, but that the rest of the Firm of Crawford and Com pany had adopted the ad of their Partner, , Mr. Mitchel ; but it was u ncerta i n w h at might be re covered by the Defendants out of the estate and effeds of Kirkpatrick, because a final dividend had not been made. Lord ELLENBOROUGH said, that a Guarantee was a conrrat of indemnity, and not a debt. If a Partner chuses to guarantee for a stranger, without the • privity of his Partners, he goes beyond th e scope of his a uth or i ty ; i t i s not an at done in the furtherance of trade, and therefore shall not bind the Partners, unless they adopt it.—Here they had done so, and therefore this point was against them ; but the other objection to the . set-off of the De_ fendants was valid, namely, that the sum they claimed was hot a liquidated demand.—Th e Stature of Set-off; Which empowered one person to set off hi* deMand against another that was made upon him; or in other words, to set up a cross demand withoht'bringing an atlion, extended only to cases in which the cross demand was liquidated—the debt must be certain in its nature.—lt was not yet certain what the Defendants would receive under the Bankruptcy of Kirkpatrick, and there fore, what they will fall short of their whole Debt, was not ascertained ; /for this reason, the deMand of the Defendants on Kirkpatrick could not' be made the subjet of a set-off. —Verdict for - Plaintiffs, Da.- mages•s2ll, ss, 6d.
