On Saturday last, the principal Gentlemen of Finchley, Barnet, Colney Hatch, ,Southgate, and Edmonton, held their annual Venison Feast at the Cherry Tree, at Southgate. Mr. MAX wwAlt zNo and Mr..BYSO were invited co partake of the Festivities of the day, and were among the foremost to promote harmony and good humour.----The Chair was filled by Mr. COLLINS, and Mr. ALLEN officiated as his Deputy. .The Company, in the course of the day, more than once expressed their warmest soli citude for Mr.MAINWARING's interest and wel fare ; and on the whole,, never was conviviality better supported. Appropriate toasts were given, and the bottle and song were alternately pushed round till eleven o'clock, when the company, sepa 'rated, as happy as good wine and good humour could make them. It is to be hoped, that the Monarchs of RussiA and Palissia, since they have Offered a settled Pro vision to Lotiis the Eighteenth, which he has de clined as a Pension, and solicited by way of a Loan, cvill ,comply with the desire of the unfortunate PRINC E, and gratify his wishes in the mode pro posed by himself. Such a mode is least calculated to outrage the, delicacy Of the. illustrious Fugitive, and a genefous mind would surely prefer that .man ner of bestowing a favour; which' would render it most acceptable to the obliged Party.'' The Portuguese, perfeaty at a loss to account f6i the sudden 'and abrupt departure of General LAstvEs, are inclined to attribute.it to some particu lar attentions paid by n Croat Perst,...gc to his Wife. That he should so resent this, if it were true, is a new trait in the French Charaaer. Fifteen days previous to his cleath,g i rince HENRY of Prussia visited the tomb which he had destined for his last abude„ and having tried the place where he wished his body to be deposited, he said, smiling, to one of his principal domestics who accompanied him, " Take care that: my head is placed on one side, in order that I may see what is passing." The household of Prince HENRY of Prussia, was almost entirely, composed of Ftenchnten. • The Prince spoke and wrote only in French.

All the Persons who were on hoard were massacred, the property taken out of the vessel, and holes made in her, in order.. that she might sink. — The Neapolitan Government, however, ordered the most rigorous pursuit ,to be mad after the Pirates,. and five of them have beer, taken, and condemned to death. RAVISBOI4, Ano. 20.—1 t was generally 7inagin ed that the 'differences between the Courts of Vienna and. Bavaria relative to the Bishopric and City. of P a ssau, were :)etcled., but subsequent.events have proved the contrary. A courier, which has arrived at Munich, has brought intelligence to the ' Baron RECHnERG, the Bavarian Minister to the Diet, that the ELECTOR had nest ratified the ar rangement entered into between the A-ustiian.Gere ral STRAUCH, and the Bavarian General BaRTELs, by which arrancrement it was agreed that• neither Party should take b possession of the Fortress of Pas sail without giving the other twelve days notice ; that the ELECTOR of BAVARIA not only refused to ratify this agreement,- but had re-called General 13ARTELS, who has been' replaced by General DEROI, who received orders to take possession of Passau, at the same time that possession was taken of the other Bavarian States. Conformably to these orders, the. Count DE LAROSSE, First Aid de. Camp_.belonging to the Staff of the limy of the Inn, was, sent to Gudern, the headquarters of the Austrian, General' •STRAUCH, to announce to him the rupture of the, Convention. The next day the Troops beltinging to the Bishop . of PAssmr advanced to the frontiers of the -Bishopric, and made preparations which indicated their intention of . resisting the Bavarian. Troops, and an applica. tion was made to. the Count DE MEERFELDT to.re quest the assistance of the Austrian Troops to re. sist the Baystrians. It is certain, however, that General ME ERFELDT did enter the, City and Fortress of Passau, on the i 7th August, with his Troops, and occupied the Bishopric on . both: sides of tl•ie Inn. - This news was brought here on the night between the t7th and i Bth, by 'a Courier -which General DERoI dispatched to Baron RECHEERG, who communicated it, officially, to the French and Russian Ministers. These two Ministers imme diately • held a conference with' the, Count. DE GoERTZ, the Prussian Minister. The result of this conference was a very energetic 'note, presented by Citizen LAEOR EST and the Baron BUHLER to Baron NAGEL, the Austrian Minister to the Diet. This Note states, that the Russian and - French Ministers had learned that the Austrian. Troops had occupied the'City -and Bishopric of Passau; that this mea sure was entirely .contraiy to the elispositions of the Convention of the 4th June, and to other ar rangements .entered into between the two PoWers, and therefore they could not but consider it as aris ing from -a -mistake, which the Court of Vienna would undoubtedly hasten, to reaify. - 'The Count Da Hoc ES; replied 'verbally, that he would communicate their Note. to his Court,. and would not fail to transmit them the answer he should receive from Vienna. As soon as the occupation of Passau by the Au. s rri an s, was known at Munich, the ELECTOR gave orders to several Regiments to march to, Yelshatren. Orders hiie also been given to the Bavarian Troops stationed on the Danube and the Lech to prOceed immediately to take possession of the new Territories of the, House of Bavaria. They are to commence their march this day and to-morrow.-- Yesterday' the Garrisons of Ingoistadt and Neuburg set out for Passau. The ELECTOR of BAVARIA has, upon this occasion displayed a remarkable de tree of firmness and energy. In the Sitting of the 16th the Diet charged the Direflory of the Empire, to convey its Thanks to the French GoverAent, for the friendly communi cation which had been made to them of the Sexatus Consultant, and to express at the same time, the interest the Die. took in that event. BASIL, AUG. 24 Citizen MITTiLHOTZ ER, Comnlic..ry• EslAaorclinar3. , of the Helvaric Govern ment, and Member of the Senate, arrived on the 16th inst. in the evening, at Glauris:—A Courier ,which he had sent to the Executive Council, with Dispatches of a- most satisfa&ory nature, proved of considerable service to the views of the Friends of Order. The Municipality of Lucerne have transmitted to the National Prefect, all the documents which have, been sent by the Central Committee of the lesser' Cantons, sittingat Schwitz, accompanied with their decree, that they will not answer them. The People of those parts of the canton of Und;rwald; adjoining to Lucerne, have been greatly alarmed at hearing that the Helvetic Troops were re-assembling . in the environs of that City. Two Deputiei have been sent ,to Schwitz, in order to solicit assistance from REptzlq and hopes were entertained that the defeaion of a part of the Canton of Berne would take place in a feW days. BERNE, AIIGUS ' T I 7 papers have been circulated in the Falgis, and the signature of the ' Citizens sollicited thereto, the objeas of which are to effea the reunion' of that country to France. In one of those particularly, a system of Inde spendence. is decreed as imprafficable,' &c. and the conduEt of the French Government highly applaud fd. •These principles are laid down in decided language, and enfa:ed with a degre6 of rlausi biliti, General A . :lntßmATr, Comm:oder in Chief o the Helve& Troops, employed against the Lesser Cantons, has established his Head-Quarters at La. cerne. Subordinate Corps are stationed near Zzi. rich, and in other places. The general instruEtions of the Gover'nment are, that all means of concilia. tion are to be epploye,;l in the first instance. . _ , The latest accounts froM Sch thitz and Stanz are replete with details of fresh insurrections. In these REDING is particularly active; and he entirely guides the Central Committee at Sch'witz. The Canton of Glaris is closely connected with it ; but Uri does not *seem so cordial. The malcontents, however, in most places are strongly opposed by the persons of property 'who remain attached to:the. present order of things.
