The Official Journal of this day poblishes the Re. port of the imperial Attorney. General to the fol. lowing effeel : Two Brothers, DANTE!, and CHARLES Timm, had, during the late War with the EMPEROR. of GEamANy, carried on a Correspondence with very distinguished Personages on the other side of the Rhine, under the name and eliaratier of Chiefs of a Conspiracy of the Departments on this side of the Rhine, winch they stated toconsiht of about i ao,ooo men. They pointed out the Chiefs of this' Conspiracy, 'the organization of the Army, and the means of attack. Plans for the campaign, the Peace with the Emperor, &c. for awhile put an end to their positions, and they then dropt the Cotrespondence ; hu t when t he Wm. with England hrolce out,. then it appeared right. to DANIEL and CHAR LIO THUM to Open H new Correspondence with those instruments of Assassinations and Plots, who surround the Fiends Empire like a Cordon, under the ,titleof English Diplomatic Agents. ' They accordingly, on the 29th of Miy, 7 8 13 , Addressed themselves, by Letter, to Mr: TAYLOR, Minister of the Kt No to the Elett4r of liesieCassel, in that piece marked A. • , They announce a previous Correspondence with Chevalier VAR 'COURT and Mr. WICKHAM ; and they offer the Engitsh Government the assistance of this Conspiracy. They propose to raise the thirteen avartments on the. &mks of the Rhine, and to ex. tend the flame on One side into . Antient France, and to the ilatavian Republic. For these great services they (ply demand the moderate advance of 10.000!. tattli9g. On the 7th of June following, Mr, T A y gAnt prostitutes t h e t i t l e o f Minister Plenipotentiary of flissßer.

On the B , h of August they fabricate another Letter to Mr.,TAYLOR, in the name of the Ciathe. nane Confed"ration. They also inclosed a Letter for th , .e, K.s s:o of ENGLAND, and another ,for his Council, giing the fullest details of the pretended gleans and force of the a mfederation. the tat Of Se p tem'wr Mr. TAYLOR answers, though not altogether in so official a manner, the setter, which he had received under the name of Dr. 11i t.

" Sins—Deign to permit the Cisrhenane people, repressed by an arrogant and cruel Conqueror, aban. cloned by the universe, to throw themselves at the feet of your Majesty, and to imrlore' you, through us, to come to their assistance, and aid them to throwing off the tyrannical yoke that oppresses them. Upwards 0f.170,000 individuals have sworn to break, whenever a favourable opportunity' shall of. far, the fetters that chain them, or to bury them.. selves with every thing that is most dear, under the wreck and ruin of their fortunes, before they will bow the knee to the detested idol which it is wished to force them to worship. " Tranquil hitherto under the Government of our lawful Prii‘ces, enjoying the sweets of Peace, corn. coerce, and all the arts flourishing, the public contri. butiutts moderate, the course of justice speedy and open, the exercise of religion free, and her ministers revered, the road to dignity and office open to talents; such was our situation before a cruel destiny tore us from the bosom of Germany, which bad nursed us for so many centuries, to hind us to the triumphal Car of a cruel and haughty Enemy, hateful to us from his language, and the perverseness of his mo. rals, and still more from 'the innate antipathy that exists between him and us. If Raised now by the effects of a War without example, Commerce destroyed in its fundatoental sources ; Arts and Manntattures starving from the expulsion of the Nubility and Clergy ; the Public ,Contributions carried under a tbou , and different names to exorbitant sums ; the course of justice tardy, at the mercy of chicanery; the Religious Funds, be. queathed by the piety of our ancestors, swallowed Up; the Ministers of the Altar reduced to poverty and degraded; every post of hon Our and profit mcupied by unknown foreigners, who, without ta. lents, and ignorant of the state of the country, are nor acquainted with its real interests. Such, Sire,, tie parallel, drawn -from nature, of our former ihpuerj, and the so much boasted happintri of French liberty. It will justify to the world the desperate resolution of hoisting the standard of in. surreetion against a Government illegal in itself,' perfidious , in its promises, and oppressive in its aetions. *, We had 'resolved to declare ourselves during t h e last War at the beginning of the year iBot ; but scarcely had we cunyeted our organization, and f th i s h v y t he necessary preparations, when, at the very moment in which we had fixed the day for a general insurredion of all the territory between the licit', the Rhine, and the old frontier of France, the conclusion of the Peace of Luneville and of Amiens destroyed our projects, anti almost our hopes. id The War, re.kindled by the perfidy of the French Governmenti atf.;rds us the most favourable opportunity fur realizin g our, designs, because ti►e attention of the State is exclusively duetted to that übjett, and because the division of its forces t en_ ders it less powerful and humid dale but the p re . parations of the years a Soo and 1801 have exhaust ed our means, and we ate at present totally unable to excute our projects, if Your Majesty do not deign to come. to OUT asSistanCe. _ .

The blessing 014 oaf men, whom your M i ijesty will, have restored to happiness, and who by their invariable attachment to your Majesty's person, and the interest of your crown, will endea. your to prove the gratitude that animates them, will be the sweet reward of the distinguished benefit your Majesty will render to the Cisrhenane people, and will prove that your Majesty has nut lavished your favour upon the unworthy.
