Wk this morning received the Paris Palters up toihezith inst They bring the important ;47- ei . liz . ,e,nee, that the EMPERoR of GERMANY has, through the medium of his Minister, at Ratisbon, absclutely refused to ratify the Co&clu.tunt of the Dia, and that the Ministers of the KING of-limn sikand the ELECTOR of BAVARIA have demanded that the Deputation should proceed to regulate the Indemnities definitively, in conjunaion with the French and Russian Ministers,-without the co-ope ration. of the Imperial Plenipotentiary. If the E.meERoR persists in this. determination,- Ger many must again be exposed to all the hor. rm.s of War; but we are still inclined to think, that whatever obstacles he rnay endeavour to throw in the way of the Plan of Indemnities adopted th'e Diet, he will not, in the present state of Europe involve himself in a con%:;z, toe serious consequences of which it, i 5 so easy to fore- see. The accounts from Switzerland are numerous and cop tradiCiory : aecorcling.to some Letters, Gene 7 sal i;INDERNTATT has been obliged to raise the bloc k -f: of Zi.fri,cb, in consequence of an insurrection' in ;he Canton. of Baden. According to,others, he succeeded in Making himself master of Arid', but . • afterwardswa taken Prisoner by the Inhabitants, :Ind beheaded. The Insurrefflon seems to be spread iL'g in every direaion ; Sut if it is_ true, as some of the accounts state, that the French Government has promised to interposeeffedually, the struggle can. nqr of very long duration,. The accounts of the reconciliation of PASswAN Oct..? - u the'Plri,e, are now - fully 'confirmed; The arrears of pay due to his Troops, are to be di?charg,eti_by_the.Turkis.b Qoyerntpenr, and he is Olen to disband them'. if he adheres to this stipu. lation, he will place himself in a very clargernus situation ; if he does not, an immediate renewal of the War must be the consequence. • The Tour'ville, of 74 guns, which left St. Do. mivzo on the 13th August, has arrived at Brest ; it brings no intelligence of importance, at least none is published. The French Funds are 53. 70. This being the Birth-day of her Royal Highness the DUTCHESS Of WIRTEMBERG, who completes the thirty-sixth year of her age, the ROYAL FAMILY received the Compliments of the Nobi lity at Windsor. The Right Honourable the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER left Town yesterday for Devizes. Mr. LISTON, His Majcs,ty's Minister to the Ba_ tavian Republic, has hired the French Hotel, in the Kleine Voorhout, which before the war was the residence of the French Minister. Citizen LAttaISTON, Aide-de-Camp to the FIRST CONSUL, has arrived at the Hague. He' was pre sented to the States on the 2rst inst. General LASNES is said to be still at Tarbes, in disgrace. The House of ORANGE, it is said, means to exchange the Bishopric of Fulda for the County of Hanau, with Hesse Cassel. ,Ten TranspOrts with Soo Troops on board, set sail from the Texel for the East Indies on the ztst instant. The Duke de CIIOISEUL is said to be released from the arrest under which he was laid in conse quence of an, imprudent expression applied to BONAPARTE 'at the Theatre in Paris. The Officer charged with dispatches from India was Lieot. Col. HARPUR, and not Col. HARCOURT, as , erroneously stated in some Papers. Colonel HARPUR arrived at the India House on Tuesday last. A Court of, Aldermen was held yesterday, at Guildhall ; the LoRD MArote, thirteen Aldermen, Mr. RECORDER, Mr. COMMON SERJEANT, and the Sheriffs were present. TotomAs' SMITH, Esq. lately eleled Alderman of the Ward of Farringdon Within, in the room of Mr. Alderman NEIvmAN, deceased, was sworn into Office, end took his seat. accordingly. The . Master and Wardens of the Company of Bakers attended the Court respeaing the setting the Assize of Bread, which was ordered to continue the same as, last week, viz. at tad. the Quartern Loaf Wheaten, and Household 8.11. The Ward of Dowgate presented several ruinous I Houses to the Court, and the Solicitor was ordered to put the Ad of Parliament into, execution relat ing to the same. The appointment of the office of City Barge_ master, vacant by the death of Mr. HILL, was referred to'a Committee of Aldermen. Previous to the Sitting of the .Court of Aldermen the new Sheriffs, Messrs. ALEXANDER and WELCH, were sworn into office upon the hustings, when his Lordship, the Aldermen, and City Officers at- , tended. The Sheriffs, with their then Deputies, repaired to the Court of Common' Pleas ; and the keys of the different prisons of the City were there transferred from the Sheriffs of last year to their successors. Accounts of the numbers of the orisoners in each prison were, at the same time, delivered : those in Newgaie, are 700 ; Pot& ,try Compter, 42 ; Giltspnr-street Compter, 60. whole - company then went in procession, with colours flying, and music playing before them, to the London Tavern, where they were entertained at dinner by the new Sheriffs. In the evening, the Sheriffs were, according to ancient custom, regaled by the Keepers of the different Prisons, with wine and walnuts, at the Paul's Head Tavern. According to report, there is a plan in agitation, to change the departmental form of division of the French Republic, and to divide it into thirteen grand Governments, each Government to include two mili tary divisions. Belgium is to form one of them, Which is to be placed under JOSEPH BONAPARTE. The persons to whom these Governments are to be entrusted are to take the titles of Lieutenant_Gover nors ;—the Prefeds are to correspond with them, and they are to correspond with the Consuls. Mr. Fob is said to have made some important discoveries'respeding the English Revolution, during his residence in France. It is hardly to be sloubted that he has made discoveries enough respeding the French ReVoltition,' thilt must convince him of his rash precipitancy in proclaiming it " the most glorious fabric of human integrity and wisdom ;" though we never ex' peel to 'hear that he has had candour enough to sign his recantation. A-curious circumstance yesterday occurred -be fore the LORD MAYOR :—A person of reputable appearance, who stated himself to be employed in a respeaable Merchant's house in the City, was brought up on *a C*6mplainr made against him, of re fusing to give up a watch, which he had found,,to the real owner. It appeared that the person who lost the watch, had advertised a reward of ten guineas ro the person bringing it; but on his discovering the watch to be a valuable one, he would not give it up without the reward was doubled, which the other party -refused. 11/Lich altercation took place upon the subjed, when - the LORD MAYOR very properly remarked, that it was the duty of an honest man to return an article so come by, the moment the right owner could be found, and he much doubted whether, instead of allowing him to be paid the ten guineas offered, he should not commit him to the Compter. The parties not wishing to • have any more trouble in the affair, the LORD MAyoR allowed him to be paid the offered rewarlL Captain H4Rrasorr, of the .48;ve, arrived off Whitby, from Stockholm, reports, that on , the toth inst. near the Norway Coast, he and several large ships eXperienCed . a very heavy gale, which disperSed the Whole, and he supposes several of Ihern ran for the - ports of Norl;viy - • • 111 - 4.1 Yep N PLYMOUTH, - SEPT. 27.

The Ship Elizabeth, Berman, from St. Vincent to Liverpool, in ballast, having sprung a leak, making three feet water per hour, the night after leaving St. Vincent, and not being able to make Mar_ tinique, was obliged to _bear away for Jamaica, where she arrived on the zd of August, and run on shore at Port-Maria, where she bilged and was full of water.

DUBLIN, SEPT. 2,5'. I - Its Excellency the LORD LIEUTENANT is ex peaed this day at Ballyfin, near Maryborough, the elegant mansion of the Hon. W. W. POLE, where he will remain until Monday, on which day he will re turn to the Castle, after his most delightful excur sion to the South of Ireland. At Sturbitch Fair, near Canibridge, a full audience was colleded:on Monday evening last to witness the representation of A Bold Stroke for a Wife, by an itinerant Company. At eight o'clock an alarm of " Fire !" was given by some ill.designing person in the gallery. The Play was stopped, and a pause of consternation ensued. At this mo ment, a woman, affrighted beyond measure, threw herself from the gallery into the pit—a circumstance which seemed to realize the most dreadful appre hensions. Every person rushed instantly towards the door ; some were crushed to death by the. pressure, and more were either killed or wounded severely by being trampled upon when fallen. The accounts received last night state the deaths to he Six or Seven, and the number of the bruised and wounded to exceed Thirty ! The ruffian author of this alarm, for which there was not the smallest foundation, is yet undiscovered ; but it is most devoutly to be wished that the efFurts of the Magistrates will succeed—they have offered the sum of 1001. for his apprehension. Between four and five o'clock yesterday-morn ing, the inhabitants of Mortlake discovered that the landlord of a public-house had murdered his wife. She was a handsome-looking• woman; and her husband is supposed to have been impelled by excessive jealousy. He beat out her brains with a pistol ; in doing which, the pistol was broken to pieces. Mr. DAvis, the Surgeon, has the retnains of the pistol in his possession. The murderer is in custody, and raves as if he were mad. What is singular, the person who kept the public-house be fore, a Black, also murdered his wife in it ; in con - sequence of •which, the house was a long time empty, no one liking to take it. At the Justice_room, Guildhall, yesterday, a young man was brought before Mr. Alderman CUR_ in custody of an Officer, who stated that he had been brought to Bridewell the preceding day, by two Gentlemen who had been the means of preventing him from throwing himself over Black_ friars Bridge. On being questioned by the Alder man, he stated that he was by trade a hatter, but had been out of employ for upwards of three months, and was driven to attempt the rash ad thro ug h - distress. His aunt attended, and said that he had been in a desponding way for a long time.—Mr. Alderman CURTIS desired him to call at his house and he would endeavour to get him employ, and requested his aunt would take care of him in the interim. The worthy Alderman gave him a small sum for his present necessities. • A desperate banditti, which we may reasonably suppose - to be a part of the Finsbury gang, have turned their hands to another species of depredation, namely, that of housebreaking ; and seldom a night passes without fresh instances of their audacity in Moorfields and its vicinity. On Thursday night last the back parts Of several houses in Leonard street were attempted ; but the alarm being given, the villains precipitately decamped ; hut are sup posed to have rallied again at the end of Hill -street, Park-s-treet, where they entered the warehouses of Messrs. Wilkinson and Co. calico-glaziers, and, after - poisoning a fine Yard-dog, efireeted their, escape with several pieces of calico. We are happy to learn that some 'effedual measures are in agita. 600 -by the parishioners, to proted themselves and property from the attacks of these desperate free hooters. Drug-Lane. The Tragedy of Cymbeline, which was revived with great splendour last season at this Theatre, was represented last, night before a numerous au. dience. Mr. and Mrs. Pop e, for the first time, appeared in the characters of Postiumus and Imocrea, and both acquitted themselves very 'ably. They have both studied the emotions of their respeClive parts with great attention, and both expressed those emotions with truth, tenderness, and animation. PopE was uncommonly successful in the- scene in which lachimo gives the pretended proofs of his wife's infidelity, and throughout the part received and deserved great applause. Mrs. POPE displayed a critical knowledge of the delicacy and feeling which are so beautifully de lineated in the interesting part of Lwogen. She was chiefly excellent in the Scene where Pisallic re. veals the fatal purpose for which his Master had or. dered him to seduce her to Milford Haven. Her disappointment, dejeaion, and the anguish of in jured toonour, were affedingly pourtraved. PAL . MER'S Chun was Very entertaining. Witoooi-roN rendered filarius much more portant than the charaacr usually appears ; and the res: of the Performers, though not prominent in merit, were all respeerable.

The Farce was Two Strivs to your Raw, irz which Mr. CIiERRY again displayed his comic powers with so much success, that his reputatiort is already confirmed in the opinion of the Town. As Miss REEVES is going to perform Ophe li again, we advise her father, who is an ingenious Composer, and a respedable man, to restore. the original melodies of the part. It is d sort of pro.. fanation of the Muse of SHAKESPEARE, to deispoil, one of his very b est Dramatic Works of what has been consecrated by time, and what is so well adapted to the situation of the charaCter. should say this, even if the new music were far superior to the old, which, however, is far froira being the case, and every admirer of SHAKESPEARE would, we doubt not, sympathize in the pcch•c,ll sztjterstitior. ANECDOTE.--The late Mr. CAMBRIDGE., as well known, was one of the chief Literary props a the periodical 'Paper entitled The World. Mr,, MOORE, the ConduCtor of that Paper, in any ex. tremity, Constantly' applied to his friend C 4 , 4%.. BRIDGE, upon whose fertile genius and friendly promptitude, he could always rely. It happened, that an application Of this kind was made to Mr. CAMBRIDGE on a Sunday, and during the service Church, he appeared so much wraps in thought, that .when it was over, he was gently rebuked by 3. Lady, for suffering his mind to wander from the solemn purpose of the place. " I assure you, IVla_ dam," said he, " you are mistaken, far my thoughts were really employed upon the next World." The MYSTERIOUS MOTHER.—The merits, of this excellent Dramatic riodustion are by no means sufficiently .known to the Public, and still des, ge l nerally are the very interestigg falls known whic4 . originally furnished the ground-work of it, Lc its Noble Author, the late Earl of ORFORD. It appears that his Lordship had, while very young, learned, through a particular channel, that a Lady; under uncommon agonies of mind,- had waited on Archbishop TILLoTsoN, and implored his . advice A young worn:in who had serve 4 her many years before, had acquainted her; that she was greatly importuned by the Lady's son to grant him a private meeting. The, mo ther ordered the maid to make the assignation, when, she said, she would attend in her stead, discover herself, and reprimand her son, for his criminal, passion : but being hurried -away by a more criminal passion, she kept the assiunatiort without discovering herself. The fruit of this hor- . rid artifice was a daughter, whom the Lady caused • to be educated very privately in the country ; bat proving very amiable, and being accidentally met by her father brother, who never had the. least suspicion of the truth, he fell in love with, and adually married her. The wretched guilty mother learning what had happened, and distracted widl • the consequences of her crime, resorted to the Arch bishop,' to know in what manner she should act.-- • The Prelate charged her never to let her son and daughter know what had passed, as they t' crc in nocent of any criminal intention—as for herself, he bid her almost despair! The last Diving Experiment of notoriety in this Country, was that made under the rash auspices of • Kit BLAKE, of Sporting celebrity ; who, in curse quence of a wager of to,ooo guineas that he h,ta . made, prevailed upon a Philo s ophi ca l Adveniurer, to undertake to dive in a Boat to the depth of too fathoms, off the Isle of Portland, and there rermffi l IS minutes, and then ascend in the same V'ssel ; the poor man went down,. but never rising again-, unfortunately lost his life, and Mr. BLAKE very de• servedly, his wager. A few days ago, when a young Lady was going home by herself in the dusk of the evening, in Edinburgh, a stout fellow made up to her, and pre senting a dagger, demanded her money. The LAY immediately replied, " 0, Sir, y ou s h a ll h a ve rnY purse ; it is not that I care f or , b ut real ly, Sir, you have so frightened me, th at I s h a ll not be able t o make home ; I must, theref o re, i ns i st you w ill takeme under your proreftion, an d I s h a ll t h en g ive you, my money- most cheerf u lly." S o say i ng , s he .hold of his arm, and he ab s ol ute ly esco rted her along Prince's -street, till she came to her own 110 05e1 when she offered him her money, but he then.re fused accepting it, and left her. A number of fire-balloons were let off 'in vario us parts of Bristol last week, one of which, on 7 burs day evening, fell on the rigging o r t h e vessel near. the Back, and which had lik e t o h a v e been of serous consequence. The Magistrates arc determined t° prosecute all those who may be found guilty of the same olrence in future. i ik vug
