ToyEa, DE c. r 9. 7 —The Centinel 'at the North Pier Head heard, between eleven and twelve o'clock last night, a faint noise from the sea, which appeared to him to come from person. in distress, and on bail. ing, he heard a shouting rather stronger, upon which he . called the Guard, and a Gdley with two . hands was immediately pout off. They soon reached the spot whence . the sound, proceeded, and had the good fortune to save seven men, five .English and two French, who were nearly exhausted, and were clinging to the .hull ora French Gun.boar, which was taken yesterday by the Basilisk Gun.brig. was one of nine Gun.boats which sailed from Dunkirk for Boulogne yesterday morning, but meeting with the Basilisk they separated, and this Boat -being the farthest from land, was cut off. The Bari/irk took her in tow, and when close in with the South Foreland, she had made so much water, being strained in towing, that the Prize-master called to the Basiha's people to cut her adrift ; a few minutes after which, she filled and overset, and before they could receive any . as. sistance, eleven Frenchmen and two Englishmen, exhausted with cold and fatigue, dropped .off, .and were drowned, • • One of she Frenchmen•saved is a 'Soldier of the 35:h Dettii.brigade, about.twenty.five of whom were in the Boat when first captured.

Several of his Cattle had been attacked with this disease, and he had applied various remetites: all of them had, however, preyed inelfehual, till he had had a trial of Mr. BELLAMY'S Bath Powder, the tired of which had been so direet anti iminediate, that he felt it his duty to fecurn. mend it to the attention of the Public. _ _ _ Lord SoataavtLut corroborated this opinion of the efficacy of Mr. BILLAMY'S Powder for thocure the disease in Cattle which had been referred to.

RATISIION; 1401 ,1 ..11 I..—The dispute which. has arisen between-the Courts of Munich and Vienna, sermsto the engross the attention of the Empire, and to form p rincipal subjeet of the deliberations of -1 the Diet: he object of the Imperial Decree, upon which these deliberations turned, was to - determine the pure an d simple execution of the new Law of the Empire, relative to the tlistributioll Of vcitis in the t ,College of Princes, until some compensation shad(' beve been made for the prejtidia:dOnt to the Cattle. , lie party by the partition of these votes, and some.. this established -at least towards 'maintaining an equiponderance- , between • the States professing the two religions. By virtue , of the above.mentioned decree the EMPEROR, as Supreme Heed of the- Empire, had in_ terposq his authority, and refused his sandion to the contested part of the Comicial Resolutione, while he endeavoured at the same time to con.. vince the States of the justice and equity of the desired alteration. This last endeavour was repeated, and the exception of the motives which guided she EmPEROR's views, renewed in the Rescript of Hi 3 IMPERIAL. MAJEETY,• of the loth of Novem ber.- But these reasons were not sufficient to een_ vince the Courts of the other party, who, persisted in'asserting -the advsmtage they bad once acquired, 41111 in ;..tegarding the exereise of the Imperial Pre... rogatiite as -inadmissible in the present ease: It was in this- - sense that the I'Vlinisters of Branden. burgh,. of Saxony, of Wurremburgh, and of Baden, have explained themselves in the Sitting of the r+th of November, but- it is still more worthy of te'.. mark, that the-Catholic Court of Munich has ilia forinly supporte' . the pretensions -and the views of the Protestant Princes : the Eledoral Minister o f Bsvaria required at the Sitting, after having fully entered into an invearigation of the subjcft, 4 , that the Diet should confine itself to the reces of the Deputation' *of the Empire ; that no al. terations or additions should be made in what had been there agreed to and confirmed, concerning the new votes to be etteblislied, and that u . durum should be - adopted for the absolute aceom plishment.of that ewer." 'The opinion, therefore, to which the great majority of the States will pro. bably incline, will be to entreat the EMPEttoR to withdraw the opposition, or modification which he proposed, respecting the ratification of the new Law of- the Empire, as fir as it respens the ar_ rangement of the votes in the College of Princes.— Meanwhile the Austrian Minister, when delivering the grounds of his vote at the Diet on Novem. bet 18, not only repeated the wishes of his Conte, but proposed, with a view to accomplish them, the creation of several new Catholic votes. Ile asked six for Austria alone ; one for the Teutonic: Wee, and one for the Order of Sr. John of jeru. Wein, for the Eleftor Arch Chaocellor, for the Princess LATOUR and SAX Is, SA I. 14.1 SA LM, Foe irEN IIRO, and LICHTENSTEIN, and for the Duke DE CROI. He desired, in fine, the admission into the College of Princes with one vote, of Count FUOSII4.BAIigt , L.HAUhIiN, the Princes of COL- LoRFLIO, Of KIIVINIfULLER, Of METTERNIcIf, anti Of TRTCRitss-WELDnoURo. These &muds, which were adopted by the Imperial Minivers, and by several of the Catholic States, are grounded upon the injostice of the present CliSiribUtiOn of TOM of the Princes agreeably to the new Law of •the Empire." It i 9 not true, as stated, that the JuAges hive come to any deci4ion an th case of Ai lett, the ,Bonit
