As the at:swcr brought by this Courier appears to be very pacific, all expeaations of War have since yester. day entirely vanished, and we 'have not only 'the certainty that all 'clifferenees with the Court of Munich will be acconnuodaied,but that the an. dent •friendship and good understanding between that Court and Austria will be completely restored. Frisey, NOV'. 2S.—Twelve fine horses froM the lanoverian stud have arrived at Lugano ; six of them are intended as a present to the . Vice-president of the Italian Republic, Citizen MeLzt. Some discussions have taken place between Russia, and the little Republic of Ragusa, which have been terminated by a letter from the Fostretton AL,EX ANDEk to the Senate of the Republic. The free exercise of the Greek Religion will now be per. mitted at Ragusa, under the prottetion of Russia. Coavu, OCT. zB.--The z6th of Odobec will will he distinguished in the annals of our Republic : on that day the Legislative Body was installed ; the benevolent views of AI.iXANDEIt I. the labours of his excellent Ministers, and the wishes of the inha. bitants of the seven Islands were fulfilled. His Ex. cellency the Plenipotentiary, Count MOCtNIOO, wished the pomp and solemnity of the Installation to he suitable to the dignity of his exalted Sovereign and the importance of the funaions of the first Legis. failure of the Seven Islands. The Representatives of the Nation, therefore, proceeded in their robes, ac .oompaoied by the Secretary of State, to the Palace in the old Fortress. The brave Russian Troops sa. luted them as they passed with military honours. The respeetabl4 Chief of the Republic, Prince THEOTIC.III, received thefts in the Hall in which they were to hold their Sitting, and where he xercised the fuedions of President, till one should be eletted. He ascended a raised seat, and the Members took their' places.

MALTA, OCT. 13.-1 c has hitherto been the CM. tom here, when the SubjeCts of Neutral Powers have been found on board the Merchant Ships taken under the Flag of the Enemy, to liberate them on their being claimed by their respeaive Consuls. The English Naval Commandant has, however, within tfiese few days begun. to ad on contrary principles, and has refused to deliver up a DanishSitilor found on hoard "a Dutch Prize, on his being reclaimed by the Danish . Consul. The Commandant answered, that Vice.Admirat Lord NEtioN, as Comm nick. in Chief of the British Kiva' Force in the Mediter ranean, had given orders to send to England all Subjeas of Neutral Powers found on board Ships taken from the Enemy. Ettusszi,s, , Dic..4..—Agreat quantity of biscuit• is baking hera for the Expeclition'agtinst, 146 thausAnd labourers are employed in entarg. ing the Harbour of Boulogne, for the rzception of a greater number of Ships. he Gun•huat% .now have place, fitted up in them for the conveyance of horses, and carry fourteen days provisions, besides at1;11..1'660n and warlike stores. An Embargo is laid on all inland Merchant.ves_ which will be employed in the lixpedition against England ; several cargoes which were ex_ petted at Brussels have . therefore not arrived. 'The 4th division of Vessels lies I)unkirk, ready to aril fc)r Boulogne. HA C,lll, Dec, 6•--Such preparations are, now making in our Republic, that every thing will be ready f,lr embarkation in the Tety...l, and at Flush. ing, in the course of the ensuing week. The Mi. niter at Witr,..PYMAN, has published a very circium stantial regulation relative to the Eiyediiion, ad. dressed to the: . Officers . 'of- the goco Batavian Troops to be employed in it, in which he tle. then cornpleat, must be immediately eomple4ed from other Corps. The field-equipage for the In. fantry is to consist of a bottle and a bread.bag, and for the Cavalry, of a small water.barrel, As soon as these Troops shall hvle arrived on the enemy's coast, they will be treated in every respeet like the French. A Serjeant will then leave in arrear five stivers of his daily pay, Corporal three, and a common man two, which, on their return, they may receive in person. The Subalterns and Privates may also give power of Attorney, disposing of these arrears in favour of their wives, children; or pa rents; No Officers or Soldiers will be permitted to embark. The equipage of an Officer must consist only of one cloak.bag. The Commanding Officer of a Corps must only take with him one carer. The Quarter-Master a chest to keep his books and papers in, and the prin.. cipal Surgeon one Medicine Chest., No Soldier or Artilleryman is to take with him more clothing than may be contained in a knapsack or cloak.bag. AMSTERDAM, DEC. 6.—On she ad inst. the First Division of the Gun-boats building here, 25 in number, proceeded by the way of Sparendam to Flushing; a greater number will soon follow them. BR taint, Dec. B.—The second Frigate sent fur the Blockade of the Weser, 'was wrecked on the 3d of December in the Made. Whether any of the crew or property on board have been saved, is not yet known here. We are not enabled to say any thing more in confirmation of the statement we gavey,esterday, made by the Master of the §chuyt whic,h had or rived' at Bull from ilallaa, of the Troops in that Country having refused to embark on the Expedition against England, than that we tin. derstand the Dutchman has made affidavit of the fact before the Mayor of Hull ; at least this cir. cumstance i 1 mentioned in. a Letter from a most resPeElable house of that Town,: It is added, that the Troops who had . refused to embark, had marched into the interior. We shall leave it to the judgment of our Readers to attach to this statement what degree of credit they may think it deserves. It cettainly is not unsupported by probability ; but, an the other hand, it is asserted that a Vessel left,Rouerdam on the :60, the Master of which makes no mention of such an event. As this last Vessel, however, brought Dutch Papers of the 3th only, we think there may be a mistake with re. sped to the day of her departure from Holland ; and the Dutch Papers of the . tlth being silent upon such an event as a Mutiny, is no proof that it 'might not have occurred on that day or the preceding.
