BASIL, SF PT. rz.—All the Eastern part of the HelVetic Republic, with the exception of Turgovia, and a part of thz Grisons, is in a state of open Re.. beiliou against the Constitutional Authorities.— %mail - Cantons, those_ of, Glarus, • Appenzel, Rbeinthal, Zug, and Baden, have ,de elarsed themselves •to be in a state of Insurreetion.— In Zug-,,- the presence even of a Battalion of In fantry could not prevent the Insurredion from breaking ant. -. The other Cantons abound with Emissaries from the small Cantons, who hold out Promises of the abolition of all Taxes, o f the- re- establishMent of the Lansgenzeiude, and sometimes of the- plunder of all persons of property. — These peifidious suggestions have had this singular ofaa, that the Partizans both of aigarchy and of Dernocrzcy unite together to destroy that Constitution which was a few months ago adopt ed by a large majority. . If they succeed in their designs (which May fortunately be pre_ vented by the interposition of Francc), there will be a Civil War between those parties who have now formed a temporary union for the purpose of destroying, the . Government. The Helvetic Troops have put down the Insur relion in some of the Western Cantons, but their number is too small to enable them to at with STUTTGART), SET'T. z.—The Assembly of the Deputies of the Imperial Cities of Suabia, which rnet about a month since, has separated without Coming to any resolution. Six of the Cities, amongst whom Augsburg is one, took no part in the deliberations. The latest Courier from Munich, brings the in telligence of ,the Austrians having occupied the County of Newburg, which extends from the Inn to the Banks of the Danube. It appears that they also Proposed to interrupt the communication between the Bavarian. Troops posted at rilshofem, and at B aint - Nicholas. General Dfiltol immediately Troops along the Danube, to maintain these cornm::nications, and proceeded on the sth to Pas -feu, to confer upon the subjeft with the Austrian General SHANCH. The result of the conference is not known. • " A report has prevailed for some days at Munich, that the Austrians were dposed to evacuate Passau, L utl o it . , has been contradiaed by late events. We lea4ll o -,on the contrary, that there is an intention of furring a second Camp at i'Vels, on the Frontier of xtgh Austria. M. de BtroL, the Austrian Envoy at Munich proposed that the ELEcToa should.eva cuate all the Countries which he had occupied, on which condition, it was added, the EMPEROR Would withdraw his Troops from Salztiurg, Passau, Lerch. Wsgaien, &c. but this proposition was nct agreed to at Munich. • The Bavarian Troops hare delayed until now, the taking possession of the different Imperial Ci -tie; of Suabia allotted to the ELECTOR. The. oe. t cupation of those Cities has at length taken place within these few days. On the Bth, a detach- I nent entered Noerdlingen, and "another 13 Opfi 11 gen•=on the next day Demhulspul was occu- Pied, and also Kaufbenem, Bitchhorii, Wangen, a nd Ravinspurz. In many of theSe Cities, the arrival of Foreign Troops caused some discontent, in 't the Magistrates themselves addressed Procla-', mation s to their Fellow-citizens, inviting them to submi t .to necessity, and promising that they would "; ) ,.every thing in their power to preserve to the Ci tes a part of their Privileges. :The COIIIII.DE RCHENF ELD, a Commissary of the Bavarian Government, charged with the parti_ vOlar confidence of the ELECTOR, is arrived•at 4n gshurg.. He notified on the loth to the Imperial "facers of the PrZ-voti Saint Ulrich, that a detach- Ment of Bavarian Troops would enter the City of aitgsburg to take possession of that Fri:vote'. It is asserted treat the Magistrates of Augsburg have Prot etted-againtt-the entry of a foreign for;: into that 'City. The Batrariati Tops stationed in the D;st.7gfirie of Augsburg, have drawn nearer to the frontiers of the tvril, al.fd hatie occtipied• the different Depend. encies of the Bishoyie of Treysthken inclosed in the Tyrol, and have quietly taken possepsioh of Paters k;rch and lifireenwal a'.

" As every thing in this Country is conrcrred into a Fete for the amusement of the People, the five last days of the Republican Year (les fours Compli, mentaires), are set apart for what is termed the -' Fete Complementaire. The Square of the Viett-r Louvre is fitted up for the reception of Specimens of all the Articles, both of the Natural and Artifi-. cial Produce of the Republic. These are exposed to public view, and the People flock in great, num bers to examine the new produetions of the Coun try, or the improvements which have taken place in any of the Manufalures. This Fete commenced yesterday—it lasts, till the Ist Vendemiaire, the beginning of the French Year.—Repert says, that the exposition of the present year far surpasses that of the last, and shews that great improvements ,have been made. There seems in filet, to exist a very general disposition to increase and improve the Natural PrAudions of France, and Agricul ture particularly is the universal pursuit—but Corn inercd does not seem to revive. Those who are apprehensive that the French will rival us in our Trade and Manufaaures, may lay aside all their fears, until they find the habits and dispositions of the People totally changed from what they, are at present. There scarcely exists here what can be called Society ; but there are in lieu of it, a multiplicity of objeas of Amasement. There are for the even. ing, Theatres of all descriptions, Vauxhalls, &c. &c. ; and for the morning, the Public Gardens of the Thuilleries, and of the Luxembourg, both of which have been very much embellished. The jardius des Plantes, together with the Galleries of Pi&ures and Statues, are also, on stated days. every week, open to the Public. In addition to these, Feltes and Illuminations are very, frequent. Nobody can say, that the Government does not take pains to divert the Parisians. There are those Who attribute this as much to Policy, as to an at ten dung() the People. " The Hospitals (particularly - the Military), are worth notice. The Hotel Dieu, is very much in the same state as formerly, and MERCIER'S de. scription of it is revived at . every step you take. The Chapel which belonged to this Institution, was destroyed by the fury of the Populace in the de. .struetive period of the Revolution, and has not been repaired. But the Military Hospitals, afford an example well worthy of imitation. Every sick Man is daily visited by a Physician,' accompanied by an Officer of Rank. The most liberal provision is made for the Sick, and no care or attention is spared to restore them to health. There is not a Soldier who quits these Hospitals, who has not a story to tell of. his treatment, which must awaken tlic g ratztuLii. .1 „r inanity and Policy go hand in hand in these atten. rions to those who have risqued their Lives in the Service of. their Country. " The attractions of this City hare drawn here Foreigners of all descriptions, but particularly the English, of whom -there are a greater number than at any period previous •to the Revolution. The Masters of the Hotels Garnis, &c. seem to take ad -vantage Of this circumstance, as if they thought their Harvest would not last long-, and their charges are very exorbitant. Among my country_ men here, are most of the Members of the Old Op_ position—Mr. Fox, . Mr. HARE, General F/TZ PATRICK, Mr. ADAIR, Mr. ERSKINF, Mr. Sr. JOHN, Mr. TUFTON, &c. are here—and Lord HoL_ LAND, Lord R. SPENCER. Mr. FRANCIS, Mr. H. COMBE, Mr. BROGDEN, &c. have lately left this place. Lord OXFORD and Mr. ARTHUR O'CON, NOR are said to have arrived here together, .about a week ago ! " Mr. Fox continues to he treated with the most' marked distindion, both by the CHIEF CONSUL, and by Monsieur TALL E R AND. Whether the assem blage here of so many Persons of the same Party is matter of accident, or whether they have any objea in view, is the subjed of much conversation among th,!. Parisians. They do not scruple to say, that • Mr. Fox will, probably, be Minister before it is long ; and in saying thin, they refer to an event which every good Englishman must most heartily/ wish may be very far distant indeed. The Presen tations of the English, at the next Public Day at the Thuilleries (i5lll Vendemiaire,) it is said, will he very numerous.; Among the rest Lord OXFORD, Lord F. I'iIONTAGUE, and Mr. ERSXINE, are Men rioned—and it is also reported, but probably. with. out truth, that Mrs. Fox is to be presented to Madame BONAP ARTE .—Lord WHITWORTH Will certainly have enough upon his hands, and- will probably have many difficult cases to determine. The First Consul is said to wish that the Presen fations should be very numerous. The effest of curiosity may sometimes be mistaken for - a proof of .resped. " General ANDR EOSSI sets out immediately on his Embassy to England. He is a Man of Science, :very eminent as- an Engineer, and has written ably upon that subjecl. • He is a person of excellent cha rader, and though he does not possess thaSe polish ' ed manners which have been often found in persons in the Diplomatic Line, he has Many good qualities which will make him •resped,ed in England. 7, 4 I.;l.low,orti The English Newspapers continue to be st riaVa 'prohibited. This, like every thing else thatTaasesi in France, is the subjel only of a joke among the- Parisians ; for all serious conversation upon cal SubjeEts, seems to be at an end. One of the most enlightened Frenchmen I have met with, how. ever, told me, that he thought the suppression of them more injurious to the FIRST cON,UL than all _ the calumnies and all the observations on the Go_ vernment which they could hive circulated could possibly have been. But because he is, ofraidei with them, he Aues not the less read them himself —he genally pertiiez them all but never omits • reading 7e bin and Mai'hint which are regularly -anslated for him by M. Nivi-itNti:iiik; formerly (utnissary for French Prisoners in Eng land. "As yu probably do - not wish to insert hi your Paper anyrcileClions'upon the Government, I shall nor - commaicate my observationt iipon that point : —one senMent, however, prevails so univei'sally in this Naon, that it is impossible any Foreigner Can have 'isited it without remarking it. The People lotc upon the tranquillity of the present moment asa stare of repose after an c!cess of fa tigue. Tere appears to be no eche! with but for tiutet.Al other considerations teeth to be ab slirbed in his one sentiment. They have suffered ssb 'severe! by changes, that they dread any a'tera tion; andif the People at large had to decide the question, hey would submit to the Government of Persia, oi any other, rather than risque a Revolt!, Lion at thtpresent moment ; so much does the re colledion )f what they have suffered appear to have deadened fie Public Spirit of the Nation." • A few lays ago, as Mr. Samuel Al!sop wont to Mr. Ford►am's house, the Turk's Fizad, in All_ gate Matcet, to call for refreshment, be dropt down dear, without a sigh, and though every pos sible assistance Was procured, it was without Suc cess. He had upwards - of 601. about him, which was delivered to his friends. The following are the particulars of an extraor dinary highway robbery which waes committed on Friday last, at noon, within a mile and a half of Led bury.—Mr. Henry Holden, of Birmingham, having arrived at Newent, on his journey, on Thursday evening, was soon after coming into the Red Lion Inn, joined by a genteel looking man, with whom he afierwards supped in the traveller's rorm. In the morning they breakfasted together ; after which, Mr. Holden, in answer to a question from the stranger, said he was going - to .Ledbury, and, ordering his bill, pulled out his pocket-book to look for a small note to get changed ; in doing which he exposed several Bank-notes of different sums. His companion, saying he was going the satne way, proposed that they should ride together, and for this purpose desired that his horse might be-brought out. Having proceeded a considerable '‘'ay - on the road, during which they conversed faMiliarly on a variety of topics, the stranger suddenly pulled out a pistol, rode up to Mr. Holden, and presented it to him, demand ing his pocket-book and purse, or else he would instantly blow his brains out. Upon Mr. H. hesitat ing a little, he clapped the pistol closer, and reput ed his demand, saying " He had uo time to lose." The book and purse were then delivered ; and upon Mr. H. requesting him to return something for tra velling expenses, the robber gave him a guinea, ob serving, that he wished to behave honourably. He then gallopped off in the direaion of Newent ; and, from some traces which have since been discovered, there is great reason to believe that he arrived in Bristol the same evening. We are happy to add, that Mr. Holden's pocket-book has'been recovered, and is now in that Gentleman's possession. It was found by a labourer near the spot where the robbery was committed ; and from the circumstance of its ..;11 ~ ,nrainincr a number of Bank-notes of fons:- derable value, which were easily negotiable, it may reasonably be inferred, that it was inadvertently dropped by the robber, in his hurry to escape, and not missed in sufficient time to induce his return in seatch of it. A report of a battle between Btkher, the cele. brated pugilist, and a Brewer's drayman, attrated, ,on Monday evening, to the fields opposite the Edge_ ware Road, a considerable number of amateurs of every description. The ring being formed, and all the ceremonies usual on such occasions adjusted, no. thing was wanting hut the arrival-of the champions, tvh►ich the mobility awaited with the most eager impatience. Their anxiety was for a few minutes diverted by a fire balloon ; but that a: lengtliburst-. ing, .and there being no appearance of Belcher and his opponent, two condescending Dustmen stepped forward, and, in order that the speators might not he disappointed, belaboured each other for up wards of ten minutes with the most persevering fe rocity. Yesterday- morning early a pitched battle was fought in the hollow_ al Islington, between two hackney coachmen, of the names of Holliway and Kilby, for the small wager of half-a-crown. The contest, _after lasting one hour and ten. minutes, terminated in favour of the former. They were both so much bruised' as to be taken away by their • friends in coaches to their respe6tive homes.' Po LI C E-OFFICE, UN lON-HAL L.—George Row land was yesterday again .brought up to be re examined, for breaking and entering the house of Mr. Fisher, the sign of the Nun's Head, at Pecle ham, and for taking from thence a large quantity of silver plate, in tankards, table, and tea si)obns, bread baskets, and . variouS other art i c l es ' of very aQa.maiabt, aataa.-,--ia addition to evidence befolc recapitulated, that of. James Perrea went CO State, that he wrought as a broom-maker with Daniel Collins, whose sister. had lived for some time with the Pro:eCutor as his bar-keeper, and whose-sweet heart the Prisoner Rowland was ; that Rowland had cald at the shop where they were at work, and had endeavoured, in his hearing, to . persuade 'him to ;o with him to rob an old Gentleman he had ‘vorkedfor half a day, some time ago. He said, he usedto go down a lane by the Nun's Head every right, fiat he always carried a gold watch with . him worth so guineas ; they could easily get it, and whin they did, he knew what to do with it without going to the Jews with it. He also pro posed e rob the Prosecutor of his plate, on which he made tle likeofYteel'iration. The witness asked what he coul expel} for doing such things ; if you are (*lkea 'du vallae-hanged for it. .Rowland replied, 4‘ I arrnot afraid of hanging, that's an honour." It shold seem the discourse had its. effea, for in a fev days after Collins left his work, and' with his sistr, • the- bar-maid, who had been discarded, went, s they said, into flip country. Collins has not bin seen since. The sister is alledged to have. turned to Peckham th e n i g h t t h e robbery, was c(tmitted, but neither are in • custody. The Maais7aes, cm hearing this evidence, remanded , the pruner for further examination. OLD, B4TLEY SI NTH DAY.-WEDNA:3AY, SEPT. Z. Henry Elmstiad was tried for a highway •rob. bery ori John .Tionhatn, putt:ll; fear, ai,d caking froth his person against :,is 1 5 . hi s rropert y. _ _ . . _ The Prosecutor stated, tht he is .C 4 :-.IV;Mt to tkly Lee, who Harley-street. :::::ve , idish-sT_Ltre: Th-at on the ~7th of. July the Pi is,:hr kn , )ci:e.l at the door ; the Witness answered L:rl;,oner immediately sitid, " You h rye injured ney ter, and if you were to give me all ydo tire ‘eunlit in the• world, it would noobe a sufficient- reiress." The Witness desir ; l. the P(isoner to go about his Nosiness, for that he did nut know what he Having shut the door upon him, he knocked again very 1o:idly, and then went dawn stairs the front area, and knocked at that door also. The Witness opened it : the Prisoner repeated the same, story of his charader Ravi ig been injored, and ,hen called the Prosecutor an offender efa descrio lion which sheuld be moneless ; upon which he went fe,r a Corstable, and carne back, bat having learnt that the Prisoner had gone to a Pubic-house in the neighbourhood, Ire went there,. apprehended the Prisoner, and took pronto the Warch-lietle, arnd from thence before a Magistrate, who discharged the Prisoner. After the Prosecutor got horn.', the Prisoner came again and knocked.at the door of the area, and repeated his abusive story ; upon width he was again taken before the. Magistrate, who dis charged. him' again. - 'As the Prosecutor ,was coming home from the Magistrate, the Prisoner said to him, "he would expose him, and pull down his Lady's house to get at him." Hitherto no money had been demanded by the Prisoner of the Prose cutor ; but now the Prisoner told the Prosecutor— " that if he would give him an handsotne sum of money, he would not trouble him again." The Prosecutor asked, " what he meant .by an hand.- some sum?" He said, •" fOur guineas ;" which, after some hesitation, the Prosecutor agreed to give, being- afraid of his reptation, and of losing his place. He accordingly went home for it. He took with him a 51. J3ank note and a 11. Bank note,. and went to a Baker's shop to get the 51. note changed, .which he did, into , other. notes, a guinea, and'the rest in silver. He then went to the Psi soner, who was waiting for him in the street :—he gave the Prisoner three ii. notes 'and. a .guinea, being 41. and ts. The Prosecutor then posidvely swore, that he gave the Prisoner this money in con. sequence of the alarm he was under for the loss of his charaaer and. place. 'Having told the carcum stances of this case to his Lidy's Brother, he ad. vised the Prosecutor to take out a Warrant and a o p_ prebend the Prisoner, which he did, and found him in St. Paul's Church-yard, apprehended him, and carried him befbre a Magistrate, made this charge against him, and he was committed. On his cross-examinatiOne. the Prosecutor said that the Prisoner had-- before been known to. him, but that he had never injured hire in his life ; and that the - imputation cast upon him by the Prisoner was absolutely false. - The words..made•use of by the Prisoner, charge. ing the Prosecutor with a detestable and namelese, offence, were proved by a•FootMan to have been uttered by the Prisoner. When the Prosecutor met the Prisoner in Sr. Paul's Church-yard, he said to hirn, "Bonham, you owe me three sh:lliogs." " Yes," said the ['ruse_ cuter, " I do, and something more ;" and, then apprehended him. The .Learned Judge told the jury, that if they were satisfied the Prosecutor in this case gave the. Prisoner this money under the impression of fear, either of his reputation or otherwise, the taking of the money in such case was a complete highway robbery. The. Jury being Clearly of that opinion, found the Prisoner guilty—Death. joh l W.;ll;ams was indiae3 for a capital offence, that of stealing two silver' table spoons, and other articles of cln: , iderable value, the prop . erty of Mr. Jardin, in 'his dwelling-house. There was a doubt, upon the evidence, that the Prisoner stole the property ; but as it appeared that the hcuse was incorrectly described to be the dwelling-fiouse, of Mr. Jardin, there was an end of the capital part of the charge; for every materiat averment in an Inditimen: mtist be correctly made, or. the Prisoner shall have advantage from the mis take. Guilty of stealing the goodS, but not from the dwelling-house, &c. which saves the Prisoner's life. Thomas Culver was indiaed for a capital offence, that of stealing a mare; but it appeared in the' course of the evidence, that he had, at Mor,r, only committed an ,o of:I - rover, and therefore hisCotin. sel, Mr. GultwßY, said, that this _new wdy of trying an AO:ion:of Troves, by indittment.— No t Gri;//5,. The L.:Arned judge advised the Prisoner to take care, in future, never to take the law -into his own h ands. • . John Oliver was tried for a Irigllway robbery on Francis Hilton, putting him 'in fear, and tak . n7 . , from 'his person, again:;this will, a gold watch, Ills hat, half-a-guinea, and a 7% piece, his property. The Prosecutor stated, that on the 2,1 of September instant,. about nine at night, he' was .surtounded by a in , .:l) on the ..'Vest side of Fimbury square, and he was struck,several violent blows on his side ; he however kept upon his legs, and ma • •.,:: naged to.get on the steps of one of the hbuSeS; and there he felt somebody pulling at his watch, who ve ‘ as disappointed in getting it, for the chain broke ; but the Prosecutor Said " don't use me ill, and you shall have wh a t I have. got ;" ort which he gave them a•half-guinea and a seven-shillinz.: piece, and his wa7eh was taken away fr6m him ; it was ,a gold watch, and it was snatched away from hint, and his hat was also snatched away.
