BEittir, AVG. B.—The late4t intelligence from the Lesser Cartons, affords some hope of our being able to re-call - those parts.of Helvetia to obedience to our governinent. The refusal of the Canton of Uri to make a Common Cause with the others, has strengthened the opposition in that quatter,,and the eagerness manifested, by the ring-leaders of this Counter Revolution to ingross the highest situa. tions, has given general disgust. The Commissary, KELLER, publishedon'the 4.th inst. at Lucerne, on the partof the Central Govern- anent, the following Proclamation " The government had fondly hoped for the ces lation of all troubles, for the reunion of all 'men by "Ott influence of concord and of fraternity, and of .`lourse, for the restoration of general Prosperity.-:. It sees, however, with regret, that certain enemies of theii Country, are eager to profit of the circutn.. stances of the moment, to rend all those . ties asun der, and to produce new calamities and misfortunes. " These have violated the confidence which the Government placed in their sentiments of Patti otism,. and they have shut their eyes to the dangers attending such condua. Behold your Vallies and desolated--tote still smoaking ruins of your ►ouses--these are the fruits of such disastrous Councils, and which on a former occasion you have experienced.—Consider well, if the assertions of those who mislead you, have been founded in truth they have not already deceived you.--And 'what trust can you repose in them after these re. i ledions ? Abjure their perfidious Councils, and tally round a Government, uniformly disposed to attend to your complaints, to administer to your necessities, and to soothe•your misfortunes. " The Executive Council, true to its principles, has endeavoured by every means of conciliation, to recall you to your duty ; but, at the same time, it entertains th;-.determined resolution generally to in troduce, • and to Maintain ,the'Constitution adopted IT the Helvetic People in all parts of the Republic, and apprises you that measures are adopted to carry tt into full effect against every. species of opposition Whatever. cc The Executive Council deClares, that all I,ansge. mein, held, or to be holden, are contrary to the ex isting Laws and the Constitution, and decrees—. . . " I. That in all the Cantons, or wherever such Assemblies are holden; the persons who were employed under the Con stitution, shall be reinstated in their respeCtive situations, in the course of eight days. "2. That in the Cantons of Uri, Schwitz and Under walden; the Communes shall reasSenibleond elect a Deputy front every too Citizens. v . . , . ... .. . " 3. 'I hese Deputies shall re-unite under the Presi dency of the Commissary of the Government, or of one of the Delegates, in order to appoint a Committee or Coun cil, consisting of zo Menibers. . .

Cantonal Organization. " Given at iferne, August a, The Commissary, Krii.r.a, bad rerdered all the Public Fundionaries responsible 'for the execution of the above Decrees, and haS taken steps to render their Circulation as extensive as possible. The different Corps of French Troops were to assemble yesterday; at Basle; in order to proceed to Strasbourg and Metz.

If the Council w,,S reduced to two MemberS, by indis position or other causes, the vacancies Were to be filled by Members of the Senate. The proposition for furnishing a - Scildier out of every hundred CitiZens, has been stitrinitted to the Military Committee. That of the Aninesty for the Canton of Leman, and for the fin-Mei distur bances in the Canton of Zurich, was referred to the CommisSion of Justice. The Council has required of the Senate; to acce lerate the Formation of the Laws iespedting the Recovery of Tythes. VIENNA, AttPUST 3. --The Gazette of Bitten states, that a Tartar arrived at Belgrade froth Constantinople, had announced that there was a re port iu that Capital of the death of the Sultan It is added, that, the People desired to see his Brother elevated to the throne, and that a great fermenta_ tion prevailed at Constantinople. VIENNA,. AUGUST 4.—The.. EMPEROR has this day given an audience to M. ARE zzo, Archbishop of Seleucia, and Ambassador Ektr,,rdinary from Rome to the .Court of Russia. It said' here that the Duke of PAR M A has resigned , his Dominions, in consideration of a Pension of 60,000 ducats. According, to letters frOni Semlin, JUSSUM AGA has colletted a number of Troops, with chic• he has again marched towards Belgrade. The Garri. son of that City are well disposed to make a vigor ous resistance. Several of the Inhabitants, detect. ed in a secret correspondence with jtiosum, ,have been put to Death. • STRASBURGH, Attc.l:--It is said, that a: Camp of moot, ;vlen is shortly to be formed at Plobsbeim, a few leagues from hence: On Satdrday Thi)mas Cooper, late Mate of the Brig Adveinttie, sunk 'off Brighton, underwent an examination before the Loao MAvott, being charged as the person_whn hart sunk and dcotroyra that Vessel on the 7th inst Handbills had 'Ewen lately sent froM the Mansion. House to the coast of Suffolk, the place of this - man's nativity, .and where he was supposed to be concealed, offering a reward of tool, for his ;apprehension ; and these bills being,seen by the Prisoner's friends, they in formed the Magistrates in the County, that they would deliver him up on condition Of his being ad. mitred as king's evidence against the Capt.in and others'belonging to. the vessel. He was acco dsigly brought to town on Saturday, by officers fr m Sax mundham, in Suffolk. When brought before the - Lord Mayor he made a full confession of this riql. nous trinisadion. He said, he was the person who had bored holes in the Brig with an augur, which he said he did by the direaion of persons whose names we shall not mention. He also swore ttit.the ship had been plundered previous to this transaction ; and that every thing had -been done -with a design to defraud the Underwriters.. Two other persons were then examined ; one of them was a waternian and Lighterman, who had been employed to carry goods to the vessel when taking in her lading in London. He swore•that,. -by par, titular desire of persons whom we shall not name, he deposited in a certain wharf ten tons of bale goods, which should have been, and were .under stood to he put on board the Brig as pait of her cargo. The other Witness had been on board the Brig for the purpose of being a Super-cargo; but left her in the Downs, in consequence of not having a proper settlement with the Owners. He swore the Brig was,, when he left her, in very good con_ dition, fit 'to weather, the Bay of Biscay, and pzr_ form her intended voyage. The whole of the Crew of this Brig, together with the owners, are noW in - custody, and will shortly be all brought together fur a final examination. The perforated planks of the Adventure have been separated from the vessel, and brought to London. The danger likely to ensue from setting off Fire. Balloons, is verified from the following instance,: — At a _late hour on Saturday night, a Balloon of the above description fell in Weston's Park, Lincoln's_ inn.fields,' which set fire to a quantity of dry straw belonging to some stabling, and had it not been for the exertions of a number of people passing by, who hastened immediately to the .spot, tile whole range of stabling would probably have been de stroyed. The injury such experiments might pro_. duce must be obvious, and we trust this instance will evince how necessary it is to abstain from such praElices in future. Several Constables of the Parish of Sr. Andress, Holborn, have applied to the Magistrates for remu neration for their attendance at Brentford during the Eletlion, which the Overseers of the Parish resist. ed, on the ground that it was their duty to give their attendance without any consideration, but the Magistrates thought otherwise. The case was put off for reconsideration. On the z Ist . inst. in the Rock Building., Brigh. !on, Mrs. PARR, of Harpor.s,treet, Bloomsbury, was safely delivered of a Son. On the Ist of August died at Lisbon, Mrs. Pr 7, reliti of JAMES DES, Esq. COMBINATION SitIPWRIGHTS A! CAULKEIY3. MIRING the War. there were not-Shipwrights enongh. ‘ to execute the works wanted to be done, not only,in His Majesti'sViockYards, bui in the Mer ch L ttots'.'rils, and 'every , inanm ceent was held out to Men toff ruse them : to - work over hours, ficc: They '‘l/ere paid three shillings and sixpener per day for ordinary hours; but during the war they always, worked over time enough to entitle cheat to near ss. a day, and frequently when they had piece -work they could- earn 7s. or 83, a 4y. On the return Peace the work in the Merchants' Yards began to slacken, and.last May ,the business Was considered so much reduced, that the masters gaVe notice to the men; that in consequence of the number of their men having increased, they should have no occasion for them to work over-hours ; but the men insisted upon having_Oia day regularly, besides extra-hours, which the masters refused to comply With; and the businesS remains unsettled. • ' A' regular Combination has ..been fOrrning, and meetings of all the men belonging to the different Merchants' Yards.have been held ; they have regu larly corresponded; and have had Delegates from one yard to the other, and in the mean tirne ‘ they were accumulatinge large fOnd o by each man sub scribing 3s otit of every pound pound he earned.. They have thns colleled several .thousand pouncis. About three weeks sinoe, every shipwright and caulker belonging to al the Merchants' Yards struck On one day. The labourers and others employed in the yards did not strike, but continued at their work as nsnal, and the men who struck did not in_ . terfcre with them. It being thedeterMinationof the masters to resist the demand, and Messrs. RAttasi,t, and BRENT, of Greenland D ck-yard, being under large penalties to fulfil certain contraas in a short time, made an application to the Lords of the Admi ialty for permission for a number of men from some of the Government Y trds, to enable them to cOmplete'- the contracts ; and to avoid any dispute between the f ratlory men, and those under the employofGovern_ ment when thee went to work, the Lords of the Ad_ miralty gave dirs6lions that a number of men should be sent for frdm Chathatn. On Friday evening be tween 70 and 8o men, belonging to the King's Yard at Chatham, arrived in the, neighbourhood of Green land Dock. On Saturday morning they all went to work on hoard the Bombay Castle, in Messrs: RAN_ cote o and BkENT'S Yard. The sound of the hammers ", soon made -knoWn to the disconteriied that busi ness had recomnienced at the. Greenland Dock ; and not. doubting but that they were King's men, it,alartned them much, knowing the object of their dinfederacy would be ruined if those men. were suf fered to work. What was .going forward was soon to tde known throughout Greenwich,. Deptford, and Woolivich ; and iii less than an hour .the whole body, about 300 in number, assembled in fields at the end of the town. After the principals in the business had .made known .the object of the Meet,. ing, the whole proceeded to the Dock-yard. The alarm reached Messrs. RANDALL and Co. before the Insurgents.arrived, and orders were given to lock the water-gate; but ifie orders were given too late, as a numerous body had "possession - of it before it . could be secured. In an instant above two mind red men were in the Dock-yard, the 'rest boarded the Boml)ay Castle, and threatened to drown every man there at work, if they did not 'desist,. and -imme diately retain to their own Docks. On account of such superior numbers, the Chatham men were obliged to comply. The refraaory men provided conveyances, and insisted on the men:from Chat ham taking to them, to go home in ; but they first paid them for their day's work, out of their fund,which amounts at this time to about 4 0001'. After the men from Chatham were gone, the re fra6tory men continued to assemble about the Yard,' and threatened to pull down the dwelling.hOuse of Mr. RANDALL, s ituated at the entrance into the I Yard. Mr. RANDALL and several other Gentlemen came out of the house, and endeavoured to appease them, but without effect. One fellow had the auda city to strike 'Mr. RANDALL. The utmost alarm and terror preVailed for about half an hour ; but at eight o'clock the Marine Police arrived from Deptford, attended by Mr. GOODHUGH, . a •Ma gist rate (where they had been for sometimle in wait ing for orders ; this arrangetneot had been made by the Owners of the Dock-yard, who, appreheosive of the consequences, had applied over-night to the Marine Police Office). Notwithstanding the means of intimidation being at •hand . , the Shipwrights con tinued tumultuously assembled in the .Dock-yard, and even to threaten all who opposed them. Such was the state of things when Mr. GOODHUGH or dered the Riot A& to be read, which had the de sired efFeta ; they then began to depart;.. and soon after nine o'clock the Yard was cleared. The whole body afterwards went to the different Dock-yards at Deptford, and there threatened destrudion kv any masters who employed King'i men. • , Mr. N'Vells, the proprietor of an adjoining Yard, set off express for London.: On' hi; a'rrival at the Admiralty, he had an interview with Sir E. , ptAN, who sent information to Lord Pelhato l 4 office. His Lordship,' without delay, gave oraiirs for a patty of the Coldstream Guards to march to the spur, and 'a party of the t ftb RegiMent of Liitlic • Dragoons to go with all possible speed. Between twelve — an Orig o'clock the soldiers rived, and they eleaml'a_may every person from the neighbourhood of the Yard., On Sir E. ,D:lzr EArir rccei‘iing 'an account of . the riot, lie sent to the Public 011iee, Bow -street, saying' he wished to see the Sitting Magistrate. Mr. GRA, HAM being on the Bench,' he waited on Sir E. NE PEAL;, when alter a consultation, it was agreed that Mr. G, and as large a party of Officers' as could be got together, should go to the spot with all pos6-' ble- speed, and every exertion was made to collea alt the Officers and Police Patrole together. They proceeded by water, headed by Mr. GRAnAm, and arrived on the spot between two and three o'clock. Every thing was' then tranquil ; warrants were is sued for the apprehension of the ringleaders; Cr man only was found, of the name 'of Deane. —Om was examined by Mr. GRAttAm in the parlour of Mr. RAND.ALL'S house, man who 4:11 been taken .I.lto Int riokously rerusin , to leave the Yard;. ,w1:11..y.i: , cchest,,said; h;.,w0u1..1 be shot or hupg r on ;' t,i:e.:?! sooner than work for 55. a day. ,D,:ane - wo adtpi,t. ted to bail; hiaiself in 401 . . and two sureties in :401, . each.
