Tile Ambassador of the Eletor of Hesse. the *ri►y Counsellor Von hialsburg. has hitherto con tinued the negotiations relative to a closer connec tion ►etween his Coen and France. It appears as if this principle had been adopted in modern diplomacy—that the Ambassadors of Fo reign Powers, usually resident hero, shoukl attend solely and alone to the ordinary business of the embassy ; and tkat an Extraordinary Ambassador should be employed on extraordiaary occasione, in transactions of an aauelly political nature. The latter, notwithstanding their public mission, still observe.* kind of f l inni!s, as they are not present ed at the Grant Imperial audienee. In this man air, Duke Ferdinand of Wurtiunberg, who had a parsicular commission, seas not presented. Count Winaiagerode, Minister of State of the King of Wuttensberg, has been at Paris, several mouths, o.s an extraordinary mission. He observes, In many respe,s, the above-mentioned lacer/to, though he h every where well known. The or dinary embassy, in the person of Count Trachsris- Walciatug. is, at the same time, in full aaivity.

The Eieltoral Prince. equally modest and golcdnatareJ, teel;ng himself wounded in his respea for the rrson °lbis parent, complain ed bitterly to the Emperor and Empress ; he oh. tamed the satisfaCtion Le detnan..ed with the great. r facility, as the Emperor henna was glad of an op portuitity to g're the venerable Ele:tor a proof of hu prrsanal sentiments.

An extiaordimity cotirier was dispatched the same evening, that these sentiments might be conveyed as speedily as possi ble to Karlsruhe, and that any unfavoureilc iinlires sion made there might be immediately effaced or prevented, before tie arrival of The .Woniftur, con taining the very significant refatation a the article in question. . • M. M.srqu:s de Lacoste, the recently drceased Prefeft of the department of Allier, is ur.iversary lamented. He was the husband of the virturris and highly-respedted Mademoiselle Balletti, who , ollee cached the astonishment of Paris and of Europe; and who, moreover, gained the esteem of all by her innumerable excellent qualities; who enjoy. d the unbounded love of her husband till his death, and obliged all those who saw her in the family circle, to consider her as the model of domestic life. M. Lacoste was one of the best Prefects; he likewise set a useful example by his improvements iu agri culture. He was originally a Cbeveaz bger in the Royal Guards ; afterward• French Resi.ent at Deuxponts : and, lastly, a Deputy to the Consti tuent National Assembly. During the most turbu lent part of the Revolution, he was one of the rare exceptions to the general unhappy rule. Notwith standing his nobility, his property, and his former services, and though he had taken not the least ap parent part in the follies and principles of the day, he was left untouched; his person, his family, and his reputation, escaped uninjured. Herhan, the celebrated stereotype printer, has just completed a magnificent publication, compre hending the Italian campaigns, from the battle of Millebinro. to that of Marengo; a survey of the Eastern campaign ; the ceremonies of the Imperial Coronation, and the Official Bulletins of tke late campaign. in a folio volume, with SO engravings, by Dupleesis Bertesuz, from drawings by Charles Vernet. ' THI DUTCH PAPERS. ►ARIS, AUGUST 1. From a view of the fnrtuaate issue of the nego. elation* between France and Russia, some circum stances have been from time to time perceived. It is observed, that M. D'Oubril came here on the 6th of July, and that only fourteen days espired, before the conclusion of peace. Besides, it is un derstood. that Lord Yarmouth was constantly present at the conferences between M. M. Clarke I and D'Oubril. from which, it is not doubted, that the British Cabinet consented to it. Sit been after the signing of the treaty, it was rat.fied by the Emperor. on the 29th of Joy, end M. D'Oa bril immediately departed with it for St. Peters burgh, while a espy of it was carried to London by, an English Courier. A report prevails, that a treaty of alliance has been signed with the Ottoman Porte, by which Francs binds herself to aid in sJpsiessing the Ser vian insurgents. HAMAURGFI MAU- - MUNICH, .ILLY 2S. Several circumstances induce us to presume that we approach the dronerment of the present crisis, which will be determined, it is said, by the arrival of a courier expeeted from Vienna. It is supposed, that besides the negotiations rela tive to Cattaro, the existing treaties with the Porte, and the events in Servia, are the objeas which oc cupy, at this moment, the cabinet of Paris and Vi. Lima, the exchange of Couriers is very brisk. WUlT7.llUilell, JULY Qt. Yesterday evening the French entered this c;:y. and to-morrow we expett mute. The divisions coming from Anspach and Riergcntheini wele pass ing through the whole of the preceding day. The number of French troops here amounts (according to the report of their Officers) to 1 3,000 including five Generals ; they are drawn partly from the Bern- dotte, and from that of Marshal Mortier. Tweaty fyir divisions of French troops here, again passed through this city to-day. HANAC, JLLV '29. It is said that Marshal Augareau will return hum Visbaden this week, and take possession ot Frank fort for the EleOor Arch-Chancellor. His Majesty the King of Holland, whn has hi therto gone every day from Mentz to Wisbaden, to use the Baths there, will, in future, (or greater convenience, take up his a►ode at the latter pl ice, where a suitable residence is preparing for him. It is tusderstood, that the House of Orange Nas sau Fulda, will be invited to accede to the 01111 Rhe nish Federation. ATISIIOI4, JoL• If. Within a fortnight or three weeks, French camp of 30,000 men will be formed in the vicinity of this city; deliveries of forage. &c. have already beca ordered for that perpose. At Munich. the eschAuge of the original acts of THE BRITISH PRESS. LOS DON, WEDNESDAY, ALGUST 13. We copied. yesterday, the following paragraph from MOT TLEY'II Portemeati Paper, in which it was given, without comment, as written by an O. err in the Channel Fleet, and dated the 4th instant : " The Hibernia is completed for a long ♦oyage, to take the PR I loci Renews of Portugal to the Brazils, • and establish him there as King." A removal of the seat of government from Portugal to the Brazils has been mentioned, more than once, as a subjen in contemplation since the commencement of theFrencb revolution. Attaching, therefore, some credit to the above letter, we stated the recent suspension, by the Vißualling-O►iice, of the t.sual contrafls .for stores for Lisbon, and some late demands of the French Government, of a cession of part of Portugal, as justifying an apprehension that it was threatened with some new danger. Of the precise nature of the danger we cannot pretend to speak with certainty or precision. We may, however, observe, that according to report, one of the me naces thrown out by Bot:APA ate during the present Negociation was, that if the British Government did not consent to a Peace, he would take possession of Spain aid Portugal, and annex them to his own dominions ; or, what is in substance the same, be stow them upon some of his own family. It is, therefore, by no means improbable, that the PRIIICS ReGeNT may have determined to retire to the Brazils, in the event of Iris European Dominions being taken from him ; and, of course, the British Government would afford him every possible assist ance. This conjecture is not a little strengthened by a letter in Tile G Lose, tf yesterday, dated Ply mou:h. August the 10th, of which the following is an eztraa :—" Yesterday, after Jost, arrived His Majesty's ship hapetui six, 80 gaps, Capt. LAWVORD, from the Channel &et, which she left on Friday, at 11, di. as. ; at that time Earl Sr. Vincairr went on a secret cruise to the Southward, with the Hibernia, De f iance, and two frigates. le 'We% abet *Monts ate fitted up for the reception of some Royal Vi sitors. 'I he Channel Fleet is now under the com mand of Admiral Sir C. Cotton." A communication. of which the following is a Copy. was yesterday sent from the Admiralty to I.LOTIA:— (CWT.)

It is the 460 thAaace between the two squadrons. Although flirty were both seen upe, 7 , the same day by the Dane, it does not follow 0, 1! they were insight of each other. They may, it feel, have been at a great distance asunder. (La readers may rememher the sanguine hopes enter. tained fruits the report of the Carieuz, that Lord Netsom would have overtaken the Comhined Fleets of France and Spain, off Antigua, in June ISty. —ln consequence of the information g vets by his Lordship to the Captain of the Gorden', that vessel passed thrtiugh the enemy's fleet, and leported Lord Nti.scio was only a day's sail behind. The report of the Cnrieus was certainly more tribe relied upon than that of a Dane, or any other strange ship, and yet we know that the hopes four-l ed upon it proved fallacious. The Admiralty. ac. court of Monday stated, that the French squakiroa was standing westward, a circumstance which strengthens the opinion entertained at Barbaclorr, that its destination was the Havannah. It is alto stated, that Admiral COCHRANE'S squadron was under easy sail when seen by the Dane, but horn the unavoidable brevity of the telegraphic dispase l , it is not certain but that the words " easy sail" apply also to the enemy. In the latter case, we may pre. sume, that the gallant Admiral was watching for a favourable opportunity, that should compensate fur the inferiority of his force, to attack the enemy. We this day resume our Extrafts from the Ham. burgh papers to the sth, brought by the m :1 which arrived on Monday.—They give several tr:ieulars respelling the new alliance of the Southern States of Germany, to be called the Rhenirh Fatrailan. The Congress for its organization and arrangemeot will he held at Frankfort, and several of the Dimi ties have already provided residences for themselves in that city.—lts constitutional iviembers, instead of the Regal dignity, will rece:ve that of Grand Duke, with the title of Royal Highness, and all the neigh bouring Princes, who wish to be admitted into it, shall be received. The Congress will be opened at Frankfort on the Ist of September, and will be at tended by Bonaraars in person. We have received Paris Papers to the sth, and Dutch to the 9th instant. The Jewish Convocation, at Paris, has commenced its business, and a series of questions has been proposed to it by 13 as the basis of its discussions. The boat belonging to the 'tramp man of war, which was missing after the late gallant attack upon some french vessels, in the mouth of the Garonne, fell into possession of the enemy. The Lieutenant, Mr. M s, and two men, we regret to state, were killed ; the Midship man, Mr. Bt. ACIESTONC. and the rest of the crew, amounting, in the whole, to eighteen, of whom three were wounded, were taken prisoners. The Garrete of last night contains a latter from Captain S t tuts, of the Adamant, giving an acc,Aust of his capture of a Spanish frigate of SO guns. He adds, that the Canno&irre. French frigate, which put into t: .e Cape of Good Hope, conceiving it still in the hands of the llntch, had effetied her escape. Mr. Fox was muei better yesterday.
