SCHRYVER. They will be very in. teresting. Two principal objects have induced the Direttory to call this extraordinary meeting of tile Legislative Body at this time. It is intended to propose to fix an Indemnity for the Proprietors of Adions (or Shares of Stock) of the late East India Company ; and to pass a General Amnesty for Po.. liticalOffences committed during' the troubles in this Republic. These two points have appeared, to the Executive Government to merit a prompt decision, without waiting the ordinary session of the Legis. lative Body, which would not have taken place till the isth of O&oher. The Amnesty had been before proposed by the Direetory in the spring of the present year,, but the proposition was rejected as premature, and perhaps because it appeared that certain express exceptions would be necessary. The Di reaory,in its Message to . the Legislative Body on this subjr, states that the Legislative Body having rejeCte , d the proposition for . a General Amnesty made on the 28-11 of May, on the ground that. it would be necessary to , wait the com plete fulfilment of tie Treaty of Amiens ; the Di reClory, though .still of the same opinion with re_ spec} to the propriety of . the measure at the former period, conceives that the Legislative Body can now no longer make any difficulty to consent to the Amnesty proposed, since all the stipulations made at the General Peace have been completely fulfilled, .and the ratifications exchanged: between the different Contratling Powers ;‘ the BaraVian Re , public And its Government are acknowledged by all the ..Powers of Europe, and diplomatic relations established with it ; the Indemnities of the Pa. !Die e ' of NASSAU are fixed and accepted. by that Prince, who has renounced all the Dignities formerly possessed by his-House in this Republic. The Direc tory, therefore, proposes again to decree an Amnesty, pardon and oblivion of all offences resulting Crum a difference of political opinions, _and committed' by whatever party, as well 'by those who dir&ing or after the Revolution of 1795, have left their coun try, and who by virtue of the Constitutional. Ael, have been excluded from the benefit of the Amnesty of the zsth March rBor, as by • those who have served the Enemy by sea or land against this Re. public, or in any political capacity. .All sentences pronounced, and all "proceedings pending in conse. (pence of such Offences; to be annulled and rendered void. FrOm thii Amnesty, however, shall be.ex. cepted those . persons, and those only, who in the Republic, or its Colonies, have cowardly surrendered - to the:Enemy-, Ships or Fleets, Forts or .Towns. , The Legislative Body yesterday referred the ex aminatiun of this Proposal to a Special Committee ; as it also did the consideration of the Proposal rela. tive to the Proprietors of East-India Stock. A Paper has been printed at the National Press, to be distributed to the Members of the Legislative Assembly on their meeting, entitled , 1 Division of Holland in Four Chief Distrills, and 141 Dis triets." It contains nothing more than the names of the Cities and Villages of Holland, divided into Distrids.

FRENCH, a poor Priest of Ajaccio, uncle to the First Consul, is named Archiahhop of Lyons. Monday morning, between eleven and twelve o'clock, a soldier who worked with Mr. Storey, bricklayer, of Kentish Town, was discovered drowned in a pond between Hampstead and Kentish Town. In order more effeetually to accomplish the horrid aft, he, had fastened his hands together. He had shewn symptoms of insanity for some months preceding the melancholy event.

Confidingin the fairness of his 'cause; Mr: AobitNoTo.pr hasentitely trusted the'issue of the Elections to the Unbiassed will of the People through out the Country. Undue influence we know biM .-. incapable of exerting; but if WT. ate rightly inform ed, the expression V,erl of lankvish on the ,part 'Of Government, in somq few, 4,1140 where ,the friends of Opposition have prevailed, would have decided the'questron 'very difr:rently. . - Satisfied then that the present House Of Commons will spek . the sentiments of the People" a t l a r ge a s fully a s t h e last-;- and satisfied that those sentiments will be productive of Qrder and good. Government, we see without any concern, the pretended triumph of the Opposition Papers upon the effect of this Ap peal to the sense of 'the Nation. We read one day in the course ,of the Election, that the Opposition had gained Twenty MeMbers of Parliament—and soon after. the Publid was congratulated that this Twenty had grown to Thiry._What are' the prin ciples of Jacobin Arithmetic we do:not know, but - reckoning all they have gained; and without de du.C7ing any they have lost, (and upon some such principl e we suppose they count), they will find some difficulty in proving that they have procured any'advantage whatever by the New Election. " But," say ,the Jacobin Writers, " the result of the Middiese..7e E/ethon,is the test of the public opi nion throughout the,country." 7 -This is Jacobin Logic—lt first assumes, that the Return Of, the Whig-Club Skerils eXpresses the sense of the of Middlesex (a pretty bold Assumption !) and then it inkrs, that-the sense of the County of Mid_ dlesex must be the sense of the whole Empire.-- Whether Sir FRANCIS 13LIRDTT had a Majority of . ,he Eledors of -Middlesex in his .favour, the House yf Commons will tell him soon after they meet— We shall not apticipate . their decision—liut that ,he had the Mob of Middlesex with him, nobody will doubt—That he who evert-day railed at Prisons and their -Keepers, w shouldA r me all those for his Supporters who, lately, came l out of Gaol, or who now deserve to he confined &ere, is not at all stir-. peiiing-:--NO man ever entit;ed himself so well to the support of such a Rabble.; but. that this Rabble either expressed the sense of the County of Middle sex, or of the' Empire at large, with all due defer ence to Jacobin Authority, we begleave to . presome i to-doubt. And yet the whole of this riotous proceeding has filled the Jacobin Newspapers with exultation—ln - - stead of expressing shame at the miserable trick .by which the - ShOriffs were induced to return Sir 'F. BURDETT, we see them triumphing, in what they are pleased to-term kis Majority :—Let them con, rinue so to do; till that Majority is properly redu ced but let them not insult the Common sense of the. People; by asserting, that' the late General Elec tion has proved any thing except the. utter detesta tion of the Pablic for Jacobin Principles, :and the greatest respell and veneration for those who, ,in the arduous Contest in which we were lately involv ed by France, preserved. to us, by their firmness and perseverance ; our Honour, our Independence, otir Liberty, and our Laws..

Lions, who carry off* the voters by force, - reminds us of a manoeuvre whi c h w a S•p ra tli se d many years ago at a contested Eleftion for Huntingdonshire. Sir ROBERT BERNARD had kePt 'back''a - reserve of votes for the last ci,ly of the Poll, Who were to come in from a particular part of the county ; but Lord SANDWICH, who had opposed' his Son to him, opened a booth on the road by Which they were to come in, under the Colours of Sir Ro. s BERT. Here he had pl a ced severa l- o f hi s friends,•who insisted upon the Elcaors coming in an'i drinking success to their favourite Candidate, a challenge which was willingly accepted. Here they were so well supplied with wine and punch, with an info_ sion of laudanum, that they were soon put to rest and the Noble Lord . actually . luld them laid our on' straw in piles by the side of the road, • where they waked at last ; hut the booth had disappeared, with the host and all his merry i pmpanions. • A short time since was ranted in the Bishop's Court of WincheSter, a' iiiillity of marriage to H. HARTLEY, .Esq. arid CEUTA ANN CRCrWCHER, his wife, who having contratted the said marriage with.. out the consent of her father, and being under age,' was proved by the Bishop to be null and void. The Lady has a genteel an n ui t y f or life settled on her. Wednesday afternoon, as three servants; in a state of intoxication, belonging to J.
