WE understand that an account has been receiv ed b y the Telegraph at Deal, of the Messenger 6 this forenoon landed at Dover with the Ra tat.ion of the Preliminaries of Peace. He may be ex Peaed in Town early in r,be evening. Yesterday morning HER MAJESTY and PR r:;_. EssEs, attended by Lady CATHCART, took an airin g in the sociable round by Virginia Water. PRiNCESS AMELIA rode on horseback, attended by Lady ALBINA CUMBERLAND. Yesterday the Right Hon. the LORD . •MAYOR I ,,as waited upon a t th e M ans i on -H ouse b y t h e v!aster and Wardens of the Bakers' Company to set j, ll , Assize of Bread ; the.. Mealweighers' returns whg~examined by his Lordship, it appeared that "eat had fallen as. 94. per quarter, and Flour i qd. per sack, his Lordship therefore ordered p t read to be lowered one assize, or zd. in the Teeck h Loaf, to take place to-morrow—the Quartern 'Oaf Will then be sold for is. id.' It Would now be very curious to peruse the co. I of the Opposition Papers on the subjed of the negotiation. Predictions were daily circulated by th e Writers in these respeliable vehicles of cOm. Illu nication, that the Negotiation 'would trot end in le act—they were indeed quite certain what would be t he result—" it was set on foot," they said, " only t ° amuse the People,"—" to prepare the way for th e demand of larger .Stipplies for carrying on the b var, "—" there was no sincerity on either side, ut certainly none on the part of our Ministers." l'ubltcWith this jargon have these Men stunned the for the last two months, and yet, from our ex p e rience of them, we hardly expect that they Dill fairly avow , t h at a ll t h ey h ave wr i tten must 2 i, e eeceived their Readers, if any credit was . to what they said.—We think ,they should 3 - et h ave the shame to call this error; and. the grace to make some apology for it. . We rather expect, however, that these Men. Will take a different line, more suited to their usual con, dua and their true charader. Although they have often asserted that Terms were of no consequence„ rovided' we could obtain Peace, we now see them - violently objecting to the Terms Its inadequate, ;old even as disgraceful.- 7 -W e ate asked, with the usual fairness of these Writers, whether - the ppssessions of (:ey/or and Trinidada are worth all the Sums which . have been expended during the War ? They chuse oi.ther to forget or to deny that we were forced into the Contest, and that We entered into it not 4 4 /- 'what fah , had to acquire—but _fir what we had lo preserve. Indeed we cannot think these Men \ t .'4l rate very highly t he p reser V at i on o f' our own "Qlstitution, who have so often held up to our imi !'tiQn, the beautiful model whi c h F rance ,has pre. `l'ted to our view. , 4 11 ut whatever may be hereafter the opinion of Men, of the French Constitution 'of Govern ther't, we very much suspeta that the praises Which s A Y have so lavishly bestowed' on the Chief Con by decent dcgreci, be dropped, or, perhaps, , o n 'rerted into something like censure—for lic has p e ftl rhitted an unpardonable crime in concluding 4 ee with a n y per son b ut w i t h t h e Id o l of their A ! --What such a Peke, made by such a Man, ta ° '!ld have. been—how much of French Republi qt%ni it would have included in it; or how much qr -,. u.nglish Independence it would have sacrificed, t . t :' thank God! questions which it is not now ne t:l,-I'4Y 'to consider.

BANintrc, SE.P - r. zi.—lt appears certain that the Chapter of Cologne' has attempted to obtaina new supporter of the eleaion of 4 Bishop in the person of the Emr Encat of RUSSIA. FRANKFORT SEPT. 22.-":-SOITIeG0111111 Gazettes have. given as authentic the following plan presented to the Cabinet of Berlin t. Prussia shall obtain the States of, the Elea6r of Cologne, in 'Westphalia, the Bishoprics of Mutt; ster, Paderborn, Osnaburgh, llildesheim, and the Abbey of Corvey. The latter shall be ceded to the EleCtor of Brunswick, ,and Prussia shall have his Duchy in exchange; with a part of HanoVer.--- The Duke Of BRuNswicz shall, besides ) have the Duchy of Berg ; and the ELECTOR of BAVARIA shall receive , his indemnities in Suabia. This plan seems to suit in an equal degree Prussia and France. It is suppcKed the eledion of an Eleic.lor of Cologne will be deferred. Count WESTPHALEN has not received a commission to assist at it. ROME, SEPT. 7.—M. the Count Dc ST. MAR. SAN, 'Minister of his Sardinian Majesty, to the dif ferent Governments of Europe, arrived in this city from Germany, and on the 2d inst. continued his route to Naples. A Consistorial Bull is expeded to be immediate ly published, to announce to the people, the fortu nate events which have led to the restoration of Peace between the French Government and the Holy See. MARSEILLES, SEPT. 2o.—The 368 Soldiers be longing to the Garrison of Cairo, who arrived in the Dolphin, of 44. guns, wee sent yesterday to the Lazaretto. Three other English Flags of Truce have arrived, having on board boo men, who also formed part of the Garrison of Cairo, These vessels having sailed after the departure of the grand Convoy, its arrival may be expeEted every moment. It consists of fodty sail, and is convoyed by five English Ships of the Line. • FLORENCE, SEPT. 1 I .—We learn from Leghorn, that six Neapolitan feluccas have arrived at Langone with biscuit, corn, and salt provisions, and that a Greek vessel .has, succeeded in landing there Six thousand sacks,of different kinds of corn. General IVII!.Ar has prohibited the sailing of all vessels from this port. , • It is said that only 2000 French troops are to remain in Etruria, to guard the coasts. Three thousand other troopS, who came to remain in the pay of his Majesty, have, it appears, preferred another destination.. The final determination .of this business is expeded from the French Govern ment. Bt LIN, Sr T. ig.—Their Majesties arrived on the 16th, in the evening, at Chaaottentarg, from Paretz, where they reside occasionally in the sum mer ; and were present, merely as spedators, at the grand manoeuvres performed by our garrison and the Silesian Troops in our vicinity, on the 17th and 18th, under the orders of Field Marshal MoL LEN DORF. At the conclusion of this review Their Majesties set out for Potsdam, where the usual grand manoeuvres in autumn will be performed on the 21st, zed, and 'z3d. M, DE HELD, of the Board of Customs, and au thor of a book entitled the " Black Book," which was immediately suppressed on its publication last year, and which contained the grossest libels upon Ministers, and other men in office, was sentenced, in the first instance, to be confined for r 8 Months in a Fortress. This sentence has been recently confirmed, and Mons/. DE HELD has; in consequence of superior orders, been removed to Collberg, and not to Spandour, the Fortress specified in the sentence. His IMPERIAL MAJESTY has resol•,ved, that the Marriage of the Grand Duchess CATti E x INE PA W LONA, with his Highness the Hereditary PRINCE of WE YM AR, shall be concluded at Petersburgh in the year 1 803. RAtISBON, SEPT. lg.—No vote was given as to 'the affair of Indemnities in the Sitting of yesterday. The Sitting will again be opened on the 21st. Some changes are expected in the stare of the votes. — The. Teutonic Order will accede to the vote of Austria in favour of a Deputation. Mentz, Worms, Paderborn, Eichstadt, and such Princes.as have not yet voted, will adopt the same measure ; by which means the state of things will be completely altered. It is now beyond doubt that the conclusum to be passed on the 28th, will be in favour of the Depu tation, which is to meet in this place, and report to. the Emperor and the Diet the result of its labours and negotiations with France. Austria and Prussia, it is supposed, will be charged with the execution of the Convention to be made upon the subject. :VIENNA, Sept. B.—General JELLACHICH, who commands on the Turkish frontiers, has sent a Courier extraordinary to. our Court, to inform it of the request made by the Janissaries for a supply of Corn, and to acquaint it, that until the arrival of farther orders, he had replied in the negative. The Privy Council, expressing their approbation of this concluft, have sent him new orders to hold no sort of communication with the Janissaries. Cou riers have, at the same time, been sent to the Corn. murders of the adjoining Provinces of Bosnia and Servia, to send Troops to the Frontier, in order to reinforce the Corps of Observation under the com . nand of General JELLACH I CH. OCTOBER; 34 The Moniteur has extra&ed from the American Paper, called. Thi Daily Advertiser, the new Con stitution of St. Domingo; without pledging itself for the authenticity of this document. The outlines of this Constitution are already known. It embraces almost every subjett which can interest the politi cian; and tho' framed by what are called barbarians, contains certainly very little thatcan be called bar.. barons. The Colony is declared subjed to the Mo ther Country, but, according to this plan is, for all matters of internal regulation, to have a distiat Governmont of its own. ToussArrir LouvEßToa. E is appointed General in Chief, and invested with almost unlimited powers. Ha rerMins in office for life, and his successor is to be appointed by . , , . .. • .• the .joi n t suffrage of the Ara . nncl the It will probably soon be seen that this Constitution tits been framed without a due regard to'the poWei 'of ihe Mother 'country .; but though 'a great part of it Must ce4-tainly be annulled, there are parts which ou'r enlightened Government will no doubt be proud to preserve The're is one article which we think - wortlw of being given at ler;-th ; it seems to relate to the im portation of Negro Slaves from the Coast of Africa,. though the expressions are extremely ambiguous : " The introduCtion of Cultivators being indis.: pensible to the • re-establishment and extension of Agriculture, shall be allowed at St. Domingo. The . Constitution charges the, Governor to t a ke the most efficacious nwasures to encourage this increase of hands ; to stipulate and to balance the interests of the different parties, and to guarantee the execution of the reciprocal .engagements which may thus arise." Some Adventurers have put into circulation, on the "Exchange of Paris, some drafts of ToussAm- LouVERTURE, but as no letters of advice announce these drafts, they have not been accepted by the Public Treasury. The Exchange of Paris ought 'to be upon its guard against drafts, or Bills of, Ex change drawn from abroad upon the State : they can only be negotiated with security after having been accepted by the Public Treasury. RIGA, SEPT. 1.3.---A Courier, dispatched by the chief of Brigade, DuaoC, passed through this town yesterday on his way to Paris. He carries a Convention concluded between the Court of Russia and the French Republic, and which is to be signed by Ma DE MIIRICUW., as soon it arrives. It contains the s 6 ution of some difficulties which re.. mained between the two Powers, and prevented the conclusion of a Definitive Treaty. RATISSUN, SEPT. 23.—1 n the Sitting which the Diet held the day before yesterday, the delibera:. tions, upon the Decree of Imperial - Commission, was only resumed by the College of Eleftors. The Mi.. nister of Brunswick again demanded that the Proto col should remain open. He expressed a wish, that at the next Assembly all the Votes which have not yet been given, and the ulterior explanations should be inserted in the Protoeol,•-so that by Monday the Diet might come to a resolution. It is expelled that our City will be fixed upon for the place of meeting of the extraordinary DeputatiOn of the Em pire. VOTE OF MENTZ, GIVEN AT THE SITTING OF THE 21ST. " In the great perplexity in which every State of the Empire has hitherto been placed, in attempting to discover the most proper means of- terininating definitively the . afFair . of Indemnities, which has be come indispensably necessary, His Highness the ELECTOR of, MENTZ has perceived with great plea:. sure that the Minister of Bohemia has proposed to appoint an extraordinary Deputation, furnished with instruaions and full powers. This Proposi tion is entirely conformable to the Treaty of Lune ville and the Negotiations:of Rastadt, which serve , as a.basis, according to the nature and objet} of the affair. " His Serene Highness has also seen with the greatest satisfadion, by the Protocol of the 14th, that the ELECTOR PALATINE, and the ELECTOR Of BRANDENBURCH, had l eoin‘:ided in the same Opi nion, and, have thereby determined and fixed their first Propositions. After this happy unanimity, it only remains for His Serene Highness to concur en tirely in the excellent. Vote given for Bohemia, as lie hereby does. As to the. Ecclesiastical Elections, as that of a new Bishop of Aluaster has quietly taken place, that of a new Elelor of Cologne belongs es, sentially to the Constitution of the -Empire, for the maintenance of which the Deputation which is to be appointed will receive instrudions as well as for the settlement 'of the Indemnities, according to the Ne,. gotiations at Rastadt, His Serene Highness having acceded to the Vote of . Bohemia, thinks it unneees sary ) to add any thing more upon the subjed." HELVETIC REPUBLIC.

PUBLIC-OFFICE, BOW-STREET. HORSE-STEALING: THIS species of depredation has of late been eit.. ried to a most alarming height in every part of the country, and is conducted in so systematic a [ban; ner, that it is very difficult to deted the offenders, or recover the horses stolen. Zui parties praaising this: nefarious trade_being very numerous, and main taining a correspondence.with each other throughout the kingdom, they are enaloled. to dispose of . stolen horses in a very easy manner, having settled places to meet at, where they sell or barter horks stolen out of distant counties .; in addition. to which. they are generally utterers of counterfeit Money and bank-notes, either travelling as hawkers and ped., Lars, or pretending to be so. A few evenings since four - fellows of this description were appre hended by the Bow-street Patrble ; in the neighbour.. hood of Brentford, with five horses and a chaise. cart in, their possession, which there is every reason to believe are stolen ; and on two of .theM.were found forged Bank Notes. After undergoing a'very stria, examination before Mr. BOND, Which tended to corroborate , the suspicion entertained of them, they were committed for a further hearing on 'Friday next, when another man, stopped a few days ago on suspicion of horse-stealing; by a Publican at Bushy Heath ; Herts, to whom he offered a horse for sale, which is supposed to have been stolen out of Kent, will also he brought up for re-examination ; and • all the horses produced: The tonnage taken up last season for India and China by the East India Company, exceeded Old quantity engaged this season by 9,685 tons of regu.. • tar shipping. The reduaion whizh will take place • in the price of freights in consequence of the Peace, will be a saving 'almost incalculable. The freights will now be reduced from six toleleven pounds pet ton, which, as war contingencies, were allowed the Ship'Owners, above the permanent peace freights: The Betsey (of Wilmington), Sparrallawk, from Riga for Liverpool, With.timber, Was lost on the 'lst instant,- and the Adventure, 'Ward; ft . om Peters.. burgh,' with tallow, was lost on the idth instant, on Gothland ; . crews, saved, and 1)oth cargoes most probably will be saved ; but the Ships will be to tally lost.
