The Bank yesterday made purchases on the Stock. Exchange, to make good the defalcations that had been discovered ; and for all which they justly con. sider themselves as liable. The sending of French Troops-to the Isle of Cad. sand and to Flushing, is mentioned in the French Papers : but it is announced as a common occur. rence of no importance. The Isle of Cadsand being part of Dutch Flanders, was ceded to France by the, Treaty of Alliance, offensive and defect. sive, concluded at the Hague on the s sth of May, 1795. By the 13th and 14. th articles of that Treaty, a French Garrison is to be admitted both in Peace and War into the tnwn of Flushing, an d the port of . Flushing is open to the two Republica ; but the Civil authority of Flushing and .the Isle of Wal. cheren was always to remain in the hands of the Dutch. Of that authority, however, they have now hen deprived ; for to place a town in a state of siege, is to supersede and render the Civil Power nulj and void, The Timer seems determined to maintain its cu_ per;ority in ignorance and scurrility. That Paper yesterday positively denies what every body now knows, that a Negotiation has been' for some days on toot for the return of Mr. PITT to office. Tim Timer dreads this circumstance, from its base ;Kul ungrateful conduft towards that Great Man when he went out of vowel . , and therefore very filching attempts to discredit it. , It is difficult m. &MU., mine, whether. the conduft of the Edit6a , of • that. Paper is most weak or most wicked ! M. de LIMA, the late Portuguese Ambassador here, who lately went to Paris, is gone thither for a few days Only, and returns to this Country. The Garrison of Breda which, till very lately, used to consist of 3000 men, is increased to 9000. The place is literally crammed with Troops. '1 he Senate of liamborgh has lost one of its ablest Members, M. MARTIN WOLDtt SCHR(StER'ING) who tilt(' on the zgth ult. at the age of 75. The City of Aix.la.Chapelle, has recovered the bronze Statue of CHARLEMAGNE, which was sup, posed to have been lost in consequenco of •having been carried away by the French Troops. It.was found in one of the Cellars belonging to the Na. tional Library. A most extraordinary speculation was sported in a Paper of yesterday, tespeding the ()bird of BQ NACAttIC'S to the ci devant Netherlands, which, it is said, is in procl a i m t h e i n tegrity and union of the ancient Belgium, part of which now forms. the Batavian Republic, and part has lately been attached to France. The whole to be dent'. minated the Belgic Republic, and Antwerp to be declared the seat of the Executive Government, which it is even guessed will he placed in the trusty hands of one of the brothers of BoNAPARTE The heart and bowels of the late Pope Pius the Sixth, arrived on the zoth tilt., at Valence. All . the Magistrates of the place, a n d a g r e a t number of the most distinguished inhabitants, with a number of females in mourning, went out to meet the re. mains, at Lorial. On their arrival at Valence, the procession repaired to the Church of St. Apollinaile, which was hung with black upon the occasion, at the door. of which the remains of the unfortunate PI VA. - 100e ieceived by the Bishop, accompanied by a rataikeiOus . hily of Clergy, and were then placed on a iiiignificent Catafalque erected for the purpose. The service was then performed. ~During the ce, remony, which lasted three hours and a half, several discharges of Artillery took place. LA Git ter F. having passed the' Rhine, is now travelling with great rapidity over the neighbour. ing country. In one Commune, containing about four hundred inhabitants, near three hundred are ill, and in another, containing five hundred, thirty. six have died in the course of a short periOd. The following Anecdote furnishes a very curious specimen of financial skill in the history of the Con. solar Governtnent BAK d E.MAit DOl5, the Minister oldie Treasury, was to receive, in virtue of a stipu. lation'of a' Treaty, a considerable instalment from t h e PortttgueSeGut?ernment. fie bad taken his measures in Consequence ; but applying one day to the l'or tu . guese Minister, he .was nota little surpri;ed when a 'receipt` of the said instalment, signed by the ht itSs CONSUL himself; was preSented to him.
