THE SUN. SULEM {,a1.113 DICERS tALSUM AUJLAT ? LONDON, SEPTEMBER is, 1801. A Letter has been received in town from Mun ster, dated on the evening of the 4th inst. in .s hich it is said that the EleEuion of a Bishop had that day taken place, in despite of the intrigues, the promises and the threats of M. VON Dorm, and that the ARCHDUKE ANTONY had obtained all the Votes. The Count of WESTPHAL err had arrived on the same thy and had, no doubt, contributed to give effeet to the Eleaion. He . was the bearer to the Chapter of the thanks of His IMPERIAL MAJESTY, and of the intelligence that the ARCHDUKE ANTONY had al ready taken the first Ecclesiastical Degree, and was' preparing to receive in turn all the others. Thus has this Eletion been concluded in the face of France and Prussia, and against their formal protestations on the subjea. What will be the consequences of this transaaion we shall not pre tend to determine, The ENIPEROK has doubtless given a strong proof of his courage, and it is im possible to avoid applauding it, since, although in deed he pursued his own interest in supporting the Election, he at the same time maintained the Rights and the Ancient Constitution of the ConfederAcy of which he is the Head. If his force be equal to his courage, a War would unquestionably be the consequence of this measure, but the union of Prussia and of France on this question, their supe •riority of strength, snd the little interest which the ENT? ERO it appears to take in the affairs of the Empire, lead us to fear that Austria will find room to retraa in this affair, or else to repent her coura ge. We sincerely hope we may be deceived in this apprehension. The PR INC ESS. of WALES, accompanied by Lord Hoop, went down to South Church, on the Essex Coast, on Tuesday last, to see the PRINCESS CHARLOTTE, with whom she remained till noon the next day, and then returned to Blackheath. At the DUKE of Yoßit's inspedion of Dover Castle, the great guns were manned by the Hunt ingdon Militia, assisted by a detachment of the Royal Artillery, who fired a Royal Salute ; the East front of the Castle was manned with the troops of the Northampton and North Gloucester Militia, who kept up a quick fire of musquetry from the ramparts as His Royal Highness passed, at this time the Enemy being supposed to have efrefled a lodgment, the troops retired through a sally-port, when the Du:el.:, with General Ho e.v, and Aids. c‘,l(niel Twtss, 8,4 C. followed the sell_ criers through the ially-poit ; but on their ar rival at one of-the suffocating rooms, the trap-door was let down, and a ball of combustibles set fire to, the stench of which was so powerful, as quickly to oblige the Royal Visitor and his retinue to a sud den retreat. ,His Royal Highness expressed his batisfaaioti at the strength of the works, which are deemed capable of resisting an Army of 30,000 men for two months ; the whole have been put in good repair, the Citadel has been nude bomb proof, and six 6S_pounders are to be mounted on the top of it, to command the neighbouring heights. His Excellency the Earl of HARDW ICK E held a Privy Council at the Castle, Dublin, on Tuesday last, when a variety of business was transa4fted ; be. sides that relative to shipping, the Council ap, proved of several Chief Magistrates newly nomi nated in various parts of the kingdom. - A Proclamation was at the same time direaed to 13e issued, similar to one which has been lately pub, lished in England, requiring the Inhabitants of the Maritime Counties of Dublin, Louth, Down, . Antrim, Londonderry, Donegall, Leitrim, m:iyQ; Galway, Clare, F.crry, Cork, Waterford, Wexford, Limerick,- to be ready to remove their cattle, horses, cars, carriages, &c. to ce.rtain parts, if they should be called upon for that purpose by the General Officers commanding in their DistriCts.

Serious apprehensions were lately entertained for the safety of the Suffolk, of 74 guns, which it was reporscd had foundered in the Bay of Bengal. We are happy, hoWever, in being able to state, that Government last week received advice of her being safe in the Straits Of Malacca. The Essex) American Frigate, on her sailing from Batavia for the United States, had fifty sail of American Ships under convoy. An American from Baltimore for Batavia, had been captured in the Straits of Sunda by a French Privateer, and sent for the Mauritius, A very curious operation is now carried on in France by the Minister of War. The Cessation of the War on the Continent * Ns thrown a number of Army Surgeons and Physicians, who by thltfigure of speech which derives /ucus, a non hicetilio, are called Officers of Health, out of employment. The: Minister .ot War, ha's undertalten to portion them throughout France, from a due consideration of the quantum of phtisic and asthma, and the: probabi iitics of fractured sculls and br,:keri hones in every Department. He need not send, however, any Surgeon to Boulogne, for according to the French accounts, our balls have lost their ;nit/riots qualities. WEYMOUTH, SE PT. r 3. YESTERDAY evening the KING and PRINCESSES walked on the Esplanade, after which they visited the Theatre. The Performances were the Comedy called The Wonder a Woman keeps a Secret, and the Musical Entertainment of The Review ; or Wags of Windsor, which was well received. It was Mrs. HARLOWE'S' Benefit, who aeted with her usual spirit in the character of Flora in the Play, and PAcebe Whitethorn in the Entertainment, in which she gained great applause. Mr. PENLEy's Song in praise of Weymouth, met with the approbation of the whotc audience. . This morning His MAJESTY bathed. The ROYAL FAMILY attended Divine Service at Weymouth Church, where they heard a Sermon preached by the Right Rev, the Lord BISHOP of SALISBURY, from the First Book of Corinthians, chap. xiii, v. 13. . 4 And now abideth, Faith, Hope, Charity, these three; but the greatest of these is Charity." The 2sth and 61st Psalms, were sung before Tx EX a MAJESTIES-the first and last verae of the 25th Psalm was greatly admired by the Congre gation. After Church the KING, PRINCE ADOLPIICE, Sir H. NEALE, Captain GREY, and Colonels FITZROY and CARTWRIGHT, walke d on the Espla. nade. The PR INC tSSES in their sociables, accompanied by their sister, PRINCESS AMELIA, took an CICCUI. sion on the sands. The Earl and Countess of WESTMQRLAND left Weymouth yesterday. Lieutenant. Colonel SLADE of the First Regiment of Dragoons, one of fits MAJESTY'S Equerries in Wpiting, arrived here yesterday morning. Considerable progress has been already made in fitting up a private Box for the reception of His MA JESTY and 'the ROYAL FA,Ntity at Covent-Garden Theatre. The Box chosen for this purpose is that which belongs to the Duke of BEDFORD. It is to be completed in the first style of elegance and con venience, and in order to render the accommodation in every respect suitable, the adjoining saloon with a suite of thre_.. apartments is to he annexed to it.— A communication between it and the PONCE of WALES'S Box is effeCted, and the whole is to he finished according to a plan suggested by Mr. HARRIS, which has receiv.ed His MAJESTY'S ap probation. The Count De BOLT RNON, a learned and respe&a ble`Emigrant, has sent a description of the arseni ates of Copper and Iron, from the County of Corn wad, to the ROYAL SOCIETY, which is inserted in the last volume of their Philosophical Transac tions. For the honour of' this intelligent and ami. able Foreigner, it is proper to state his motives for this communication in his own words :—" I offer the result of my observations to the ROYAL SO CIETY, as an acknowledgment of. that gratite which 1, and all Frenchmen, faithful to their King; ught to feel and profess to a Country. Which has distinguished itself as . the Protector Of Honour 'and Loyalty." The EMperor ALEXANDER'S Masa against Gaming is certainly highly necessary, if all the people of the North are as much addided to it as those of Hainbnrgh, and if it be attended with the same fatal consequences. A man of observation, who has for two years frequented the Tay.erns of Hamburgh, gives an account of the result of his inquiries in a German Paper. He says, that out of six hundred person;, habitual frequenters of gaming. houses, whom he had marked out and kept in his eye, nearly half of them have been driven to sea for a refuge, and have lost both their lives and the wreck of their property ; that a hundred others have turned nut cheats and roobers on the highway : and diat among the rest, some have died with rage and apopiexy, and others of grief and misety. The most remarkable circumstance in the narrative of this Hamburgher is, that during the whole space of two years, he ne , er saw one of these six hundred gamesters with a new coat on, The Duke of ivlopEnA, it seems, has expressly refused to accept the Brisgau for his Indemnifica tion. He should remember that the Great Nation has determined to carry the provisions of the Treaty of Lioterville into effect, and when he has to do with such a Nation he should think of the homely adage, and rcflett that 'f half a loaf if better than no Bread." It is now again stated, that the Prince of SALM, supposed to have been guillotined in the reign of ROBES? lERRE, was the Prince of SALM SALM, and not SALM KYRBouRO. The question seems to be an intricate one, whether the latter Prince, who seems, to have been guilty of the late Forge. ries on the Bank of Altona, has been beheaded, or whether be 'will be hanged The 'rench Papers amuse themselves with a me 7 lancholy story, lately inserted in thi English Prints, of a man having hanged himself in his pocket_ handkerchief. , They observe, that this is One more in addition to the seventeen uses to which an Eng lish handkerchief is,dedieated. Those who wish to know what are the uses of 'a handker chief, are referred to SmaLLE'r, who deseiibes, in terms not sufficiently delicate to be quoted, thiS article which tie justly calls the fag ef a b om i n ati on .' It is said that those who are in the confidence of Mr. BECOORI) declare, that no decieein the West Indies, or elieWhere, to deprive him of part of his income, ever did exist. We believe that ihose who are in the confidence of Mr'. tEcitFoitP are so little likely to betray that confidence, that they will pro w:Ay rio; evprk let the world know etvb 4, they arc. A very curious circumstance occurred last Tues day near Saffron Walden, which was witnessed.by several people. A vast number of swifts and swal lows assembled in ,the air, apparently for the purpose of itiking their departure to another cliMate, when a battle ensued, in which several of them were kilted. One . Gentleman picked up. seven which had perished in the confiiet. None others of the feathered tribe mingled in the fight, which did not end until the combatants . , were wrapped in darkness, PARIS, SEPT. 10. .THE Consuls decreed, on the 26th of last month, that the Piedmontese Officers «ho served in the auxiliary Army, which in the year five was united to the French Army of Italy, and likewise those who in the year seven served in the Corps which was joined to the same Army, may be admitted into French auxiliary .

There shall be raised a Battalion of Veterans, composed of nine Companies, selefted from among the Invalids capable of bearing arms. All the Invalids incapable of serving in the Com panies of Veterans, and whose situation shall en title them to a certificate according to the French regulations, shall be sent to the Hospitals of Avig non ani Louvain. There shall be endowed at Nice an Hospital for the reception of three hundred of the oldest who may have been more accustomed to a Southern climate. All the old - Piedmontese Officers who had pen_ ,sions from the King of Sardiniii, shall continue to enjoy them from the moment they receive brevets of the Republic. For this purpose they will give into the Administrator General the „brevet of t he King, which shall be transmitted to the Min;iter at War, and converted into pensions on the Public. Treasury. All the Promotions made by the late Sovereigns of Piedmont, and the Provisional Governments, are annvlled, except so far as they shall be con firmed by the new organization. It is asserted, that the Government has resolved to culler four or five of the first vaeatit seats in. the Legislative Body, upon Citizens who are na tives of the four new Departments on the left Bank: of the -Rhine.
