SEPTEMBER It. The clay before yesterday was a day rendered im portant to this City by the Eleftion of a Prince Bishop. The Chapter assembled at nine in the morning to proceed to the Elcetion. About ten His Excellency the Com Missioner of Elea*, at tended by a train of the Nobility in twenty car ri3ges, proceeded from the ,Palace to the Cathedral, where, under a canopy prepared for them in the choir, they waited the formal declaration that the Eleaion had fallen on His Royal Highness the Arch duke ANTHONY VICTOR ; in whose name His Ex cellency Baron VON '.' , PIEOEL, as Plenipotentiary of. the •new eleited Prince, accepted the Eledion. Te Deum was then performed, and the train returned in the same order to the Palace.

S. • THE exportation of corn upon the Rhine is far bidden, even to Prussia] Subjeas ; on which ac count the Government in Westphalia has-entered a protestation. The resident of His Prussian. Majesty came hither from Fratzkf6ri to make representations on the subjea. In the written . remonstrance of another German Court, among other things, it is ,said; that " the French Legation . at Rgstadt, on the 14th of Floreal, of the year 6, had formaiiy admitted the right of the German Nation to a free Navigation on the Rhine, which right was accepted by the Deputation of the Empire on the z4.th-of May, 1798; that the Peace of Luneville had not abolished tiiis right,- but rather reestablished all the political re lations then adjusted ; and that France surely could not mean to conclude a Peace and violate it at the same time."- HAGUE, Szrr. 12. THE reduEtion of the number. of French Troops in our Republic, which has so long been wished for the relief of our Finances, is at length dete{inined on. The 25,000 men which have hitherto been in our pay, will be reduced to tO,OOO, as about the end of Odober - 15,000 men will be withdrawn from our Republic. The remaining Troops will be com manded by a French General of Division, probably General VICTOR, and three Generals of Brigade, among others the esteemed General OsTEDr. The French Garrison in the Hague will only con sist of about zoo men. It is generally believed that the British Govern ment has.given its consent to the prolonged occupa tion of the territory of Hanover by 'the Prussian TrooPs, and that M. VON RHEIAN will again go as Hanoverian Minister to..Berl; n . The following is an extra& of a letter from Paris ; " Though the reports relative to the Negotiations for Peace between 'England and our Republic, are extremely various, it seems extremely_ probable that these Negoiations have now taken a more favourable turn. The account in the Mattheur of the holding•an extraordinary Council of State, at which the First Consul presided ; the Conferences between the Minister for Foreign Affairs and the Envoys from Vienna and Petersburgh ; and the fre quent arrival and &pat tu;-e of Dispatches from and to London, give reason to believe that the Nego tiation is now concluded with more seriousness.— All these circumstances have had an influence on the Funds, which have risen t 0,48."

It is said, he will re_pair to Ahrensberg, to mike re, presentations there against the eleaion of an Eledor of Cologn. Five squadrons of Prussian Hussars have received orders to break up from the vicinity of Wesel, and approach the territory, of Munster. There is likewise a report of the march of Batavian troops.

IN our Courant of the loth, is the following article ; dated Berlin, Sept. i :—" We are again assured that the Negotiations that have been for some time carried on between the Batavian Pleni potentiaries and those of Nassau, approach to a con clusion. The open and, amicable manner in which both parties have a6led in this affair, is greatly ex tolled. It appears to be agreed that the PR INCE of ORANGE shall receive the Bishoprics of Wurtzburg and Bamberg for an indemnification ; Prussia, among other things, tvill receive that part of the Bishop ric of Munster which lies on the right bank of, the Rhine, and the part on the left will be allotted to the Batavian Republic.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER :FROM LIEUTENANT' GR E BAN, COMMANDER OF THE BTH DIVISION OF THE FLOTILLA OF THE CHANNEL, TO REAR ADMIRAL LATOUCHE TREVILLE, COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE FLOTILLA OF THE CHANNEL, DATED THE 6TH INST. ‘:‘ The wind which. had so long detained 'the Bth Division in the Bay of St. Fallery-sqr-S'omme, hay_ ing:become favourable, got under -way -at nine this morning with a :fine breeze from the South. My Division consisted of the two Gun-sloops, La re . azpi"te and L'Enfiammie, a n d eighteen Gun-boats, to Which were added_ three other Gun-boats, that had-not been able to sail at the same time with the 7th Division, when it left that Bay, making in all twenty-three Vessels tinder my orders. At the - moment of our departure -there was in ight an Enemy's Vessel, having three masts, which the Sentinels on shore informed me, by sig. nal, appeared to be a Frigate. I did-not think that the presence of a Frigate ought to.prevent my Sail. ing. I expe#ed tb be able to pass the Staples be fore the Enemy could cone& a superior force, be yond. which the coast could afford me the means of protettion, and situations: in which I could fOrM a. line,of defence. The Enemy reconnoitred ns, keep-. ing in our wake; and about two gun-shots dis tance from us. The breeze having' fallen, the appearance of a calm certainly prevented her from - attacking us in the morning ; but at two in the afternoon, the wind freshening after a squall, I perceived by her Manoeuvres that she intended to attack our, rear. r I made a signal for all the Division to crowd sail, and with the two Gun-sloops I dropped astern as . far as the reir of the line, in order to protect it. The Enemy , gave AS a broadside ; we returned it, and' immediately observed that he shortened sail, and stood off shore. He then sent out one of his boats, and made nals. We at the same time observed several sail to leeward of us' in the N. quarter.' The Ene my being appri'feled'orthii reinforcement, returned to the contest, and :opened his fire at a. distance. The Division had by this rime doubled the Point of the Staples. I gave orders for anchoring under, the land. There remained" Only the two Gin_ vessels, which were obliged to keep a good' offing in doubling this Point. "' The Enemy profited by this disadvantageous position, and came to, attack us within half can non shdt. We 'could 'rot return their fire,' and', be ' sides, we had an interest - in doubling quickly that Point to rejoin the Boats. We received a shower or bullets and grape-shot. A 32-pOunder fell in the kitchen 'of the Gun-vessel La Timpelte, and we were in an instant covered with ashes three men were killed and two wounded. We received a ball in our main-mast, but little Other damage. " The 'Gun-boat L'Ehilamme'e, commanded by Citizen' Hl itt LIN, hailed me,. and" I was informed that she was in danger of sinking ; I. immediately ordered her to run on shore. She liad several men sinking, but Ido not: know the number. We lost also one clan in the Vessel No. 7, who was killed by a bullet. The two •Gun_vessels alone returned the fire of the Enemy, the others were in such a position that they could not fight. lam inclined, to believe that we have done mhchMischief to the Enemy. Twice they endeavoured to, get out of Action, and at last they lefl'tis, though they were in a position which would have, enabled them to have annoyed us.itThe loss which they have sus tained, and theresistaike - which we made, will give them but . §inall hopei-fOr better success in fu ture. - At to o'clock we entered Boidogve, 'to thC number of .zz sail. "I hope that L'Erfiammie will be able to repair its damage, and that it will join the Flotilla. The, Enemy will then be convinced. of the impossibility of _preventing us from uniting our other Division." lie, concludes his Letter by praising the condutt of several persons under his comm?Jid.
