Salzburg, Spire, i lligsburgh, Illaus.ie', and Bale, gave their suffrages for investing the EM? E ROR with full powers. The Ministers .- OF the Ecclesiastical Princes voted ,!r. granting to the EMPEROR unlimited powers to treat detinitivel:, , with France. But the vote given qy the Prussian Minister in both Colleges is by no rtea ns to the same effed. Its ()Ned is to establish as a principle, that the Hereditary Princes alone b y to receive Indemnities, which are to take place ° Y Secularizations ; and it proposes, in order to attain that end, that an accurate statement of all t he Revenues of the dispossessed Prince, and States I llould be presented to the Diet, far the purpose of d etermining the proportion of Indemnities to which e ach may be entitled. After that . measure, it ob. krves, that it would be easy to regulate the divi— !,ll3ll, as well as the mode of taking possession of t he Indemnities. His Prussian Majesty then con. seats to the appointment of a Commission, provided ertain co-estates, such as Bohemia • or Attstris, randenbarg, or Magdeburg, be comprehended in 'Il. It appears that B avar i a , B a d en , Wirtemberg, t iesse, Saxony, and several others, which have not ht voted, will adopt the condua of Prussia. It is supposed that, in the next Sitting, which dill Ire held on the 31st, the majority of votes will e collcacd. RATISBON, Auu. z6.—Saxony and Branden.

BRUSSELS, SEPT. 3.—The day ,before yesterday 411 the morning, a division of English Ships of War „ all rates was again discovered from Ostend and t} steering Northward; after afew hours, enemy were out of sight. The grand Plotilla, _ ti nder the orders of Lord NELSON, was also descried f rom different parrs of the Isle of Zealand. We are jet i gn orant to what point he will dire& his attack; Qt t he measures of defence are so well combined along an the Coasts of the Batavian Republic, that Ite are almost certain of repulsing the- English Wherever they may present themselves.

FRANKFORT, AUG. 29.—Citizen CAILLARD passed, this way the day before yesterday, on his ay to Ratisbon, with a mission from the French , w 'overnment, which we are assured is relative to ) he business of the Indemnities, which appears to aye been definitively, settled at Paris. between 'ranee, PrusSia, and Austria.

THE reports: of a speedily approaching Peace between England and France have greatly increased. Several Couriers from Puri; have been received at Amsterdam ; and the Batavian rescriptions, payable after the Peace, have considerably risen ; though the Funds on the House of Austria and the bank of Vienna have fallen. Many belieVe that the Preli minaries of Peace between France - .and Engtnd will be concluded sooner than has hitherto seemed probable. The prohibition of the exportation" from our Re public of wheat, rye, barley, buck-wheat, pease and beans, has been prolonged from theist of Septem. ber to the 31st of December of the present year. SEPT. I. As no intelligence has been yet received of the aetual signing of the Preliminaries of Peace between France . and England, our Funds have again fallen to their usual state : the Negotiations between the two Countries, however, still continue very alive. HAMBURGH, SErr. 4. BY Letters from Petersburgh of the t sth ult. the Deputatiorr,sent thither by the Senate of Hamburgh, consisting of Senators SCHULTE and Koca, had their audience of leave at Court, and were to re turn to Hamburgh in a few days. They met with a most gracious reception; and the Empcaoa of RUSSIA assured them, that he was perfealy satis fied with the political conduft of the Imperial City of Hamburgh, and would always he ready to pro teft and support its independence. This pleasing intelligence has occasioned much jow among the Harnbu rghe rs • The Imperial Family were to leave their resi dence in the middle of this month, to go to the Coronation at Moscow. On the 29th ult. in the afternoon, Count BERN STOAFF, the Danish Secretary of State, returned to Copenhagen, and had immediately a long conference with the PRINCE ROYAL in a Council of State, purposely convoked to receive the report on his late mission. The Count has publicly stated, that the Danish West India Islands will be speedily restored to the KING of DENMARK. BANKS qF THE MAINE, Atm. 29. THg assembling of French Troops in the Nea. politan territory and at ilicona, had for its objed to make a landing on the Turkish Coast, where it would be. easy to are& a junction with PASWAN Oc Lott. But according to the latest'private accounts from Paris this project is now laid aside, the EN2- rEit6a. of RUSSIA having declared by his Ambas sador at Paris, M. KAL ITSCH EFF, that an attack on the territory of European Turkey .could not be viewed with indifference by the Russian Court. FRANKFORT, AUG. 25. ,A great German Court has signified to the Ger man Principalities with which it maintains friendly conneftians, its opinion relative to the affair of Se cularii:ltions, and requested them to s uppor t it.—A s a basis for Indemnification, neither extent of terri tory nor population Will be taken, but only revenue. ROME, Auc. ON the r rth inst. his Holiness held a General Convocation, to which all the Cardinals and other learned Prelates were summoned. It lasted four days. To-day a second secret Congregation is held, which is still sluing. - The subjea discussed in both relates to the Ecclesiastical affairs of France ; but not the least hint has transpired of what has been concluded in either. Four days ago a paper was printed at the Papal press, but the office was surrounded by a triple guard, and only Monsignor di Picrom had the inspeetion of it. GAMES' OF HAZARD. THE following is the remarkable Ukase issued by His Imperial Majesty the EMPEROR •of RUSSIA, against Games of Hazard : TO THE BARON SOLENISCHTSHEW KUTUSOW, GENERAL OF INF,;NTRY 3 AND MINISTER AT WAR, AT ST. PETEkSBURGH. It is with the utmost concern I inform you, that, not withstanding the many prohibitory Laws, the praclice of hazard playing,' which no well ordered Government can tolerate, is here continued without regard to shame or de cency-. I consider this as an evil most pernicious in its consequence,, and nothing less than a public and sanaioned robbery of the expeClations of posterity ; and I am sensible, that, by conniving at it, it will take too deep root ever to be eradicated, particularly in those receptacles of vice, where infamous plunderers meditate in cold blood the de struCtion of whole families, and, by a single cast, wrest from the hands of inexperienced youth the inheritance of their ancestors, acquired perhys by centuries of service and Isbour, violate every principle of honour and humanity, and not unfrequently bereave the innocent relatives of those they have ' ruined of the means of existence. 'I deem it an a6l of jti§tice to direr" the whole power of the law against a crime of such magnitude, and to prevent, ere it has acquired vi gour, the dreadful consequences which may result from it : 'therefore, I order you incessantly to use ev!icy means of dis covering where unlawful games are played, to adopt such Measures as may be necessary for suppressing them, to arrest the guilty, without regard to person or rank, and subject them to legal examination ; and, at the same time, to trans mit to me the names of all who. shall be found offending.

Complaints having been preferred against several Officers of the Army for shooting and coursing without the previous permission of the owner of the Freehold, a resolution is said to be adopted, on a charge of a similar trespass being' subsantiated at the War-Office, to enforce the penalty of the Law, by which the offender is liable to forfeit his Com mission. Dior/tires " Soft flowing Avon" being given lately in the native County of SHAKESPEARE, is said to have produced an electric effea.

Tilts niorhing‘arrived from Liverpool, in 4.2 days, the Ships Intrepid, bound to Jamaica ; Alfred, to Martinico ; and Dominica Packet, to Messrs'. Fo-, DERINGHAMS, of this TOwn: On the 24th they fell in with a Spanish Ship 9124 Gunk aild 78 Men, which, after engaging them for upwards - of an, hour, seruck„ and arrived here with them. this morning. She is called La Galga, and' was from Rio de la Plata, bound to . Cadiz, and supposed to' be.worth about 60,6001. In the beginning of last month the -Janissaries at Belgrade mutinied, .and compelled the Pacha of that place to • throw himself into • the Citadel, -With. a small number of Officers and men who remained faithful to hint. The Rebels, on this occasion,. declared themselves in favour of PAS WAN. OGLOU.. Soon after, however, some of the. oldest of the Janissaries, apparently full of contrition at . this shameful dereliClion .of their honour, dutyi , and allegiance, sent an aCi of submission to the threatened Pacha, who received it joyfully, -left the Citadel, and returned to his former residence in the City. But in the night of the rg.th ON many of the malcontents found means -to get into Belgrade, in troops of from ten to twenty, and a new re6tion broke out, which forced the harassed Pacha to seek again refuge in the' Citadel, where he ex_ pelted to be attacked; the number of his followers had also greatly diminished. The whole City of Belgrade was in terror and consternation, and many Merchants and tich-Turks fled with their goods and valuable efrefts tei Semline On Sunday evening last; the Inhabitants of Har wich were thrown into alarm by a curious circum. stance. About 'five o'clock in the afternoon a brisk fire ; was heard from Landguard Fort, apparently against some vessels laying in the road of the 'Han_ bour, and continued so for near an hour. The In_ . habitants, together with the many people at Har_ wich for the benefit of sea-bathing; left their houses, and assembled upon the lawn. The Detachment of the East Middlesex Militia, commanded by Lieut. FRANCO, and the Town Volunteers, were tinder arms. ' At length a Messenger arrived soon 'Ater the engagement was over, from the Lieutenant- Governor of the Fort to the .Mayor of the town, informing him, that he had thought prper to exer cise the Sca Fcncibles stationed on the Essex coast, on that evening. No accident happened whatever, except, that one man in a boat, be'onging to 'a , Bris, was slightly wounded. • Yesterday at the Public Office, Hatton_garden, a woman of very decent appeirance_ claiMed• the . attention. of the Magistrates, to a recital bf the . barbarous condua of her hasband, whose name is Goddard; a brass-founder, and the undutiful beha-' viour of a. son, about fifteen 'years of age. After' the Magistrates had heard the case, the youth was di s ch a rged, and the husband adinitted to bail : it Was recommended, to the . complainant to apply to the parish for support, and a warrant would be granted to allow her a reasonable competence out of her husband's earnings. The poor' woman stated that she frequently wandered_ in the fields all night, not knowing„ where to lapher head; •• • At a late hour on Tuesday night, a person of very genteel appearance was enticed by an unfor tunate female in Shoe-lane td retire with her. After they had been been some time in the house, she alarmed the people, by calling out that the man was dead. Immediate assistance was procured, and two Surgeons were sent for, but soon after they arrived the man expired, as is supposed in a fit of apoplexy. His watch and money were found safe in his pockets. The body was conveyed to St. Andrew's work-house, where it was owned yes terday. It appears that he was married, had a family, and lived in the neighbourhood.. One day last week, as an elderly man of Lewes, named - Roper, was gathering nuts from a tree that over-hung a , ditch, the bough on which he was standing - gave way, and let him into the wa ter, where, being too feeble to get out, though it was, not , ,,deep, he remained till five o'clock next morning when he was fortunately discovered by a labourer:going to his work, almost perished, but just in time to save his life, as, on being. taken proper care of, he recovered. A man was on Saturday at Guildhall fined foss for having in his possession a quantity of Coals, Which had been stolen from on board the lighters. It appeared that the praaice of robbing the lighters is become very common. It was sworn that this man has been seen to carry away between 17 and 18 bushels a day.—ln order to evade deteaion, the pilferers who steal coals stow them in' sand: barges lying 'ay the water-side during the night, and in open day carry them away in defiance of the Coal_ dealers, On 'Tuesday last, a boy having inadvertently made a fire t) roast potatoes in a field near Lowestoft Church, the grass, from the long drought, imme diately taught the flame, and communicated to a hay. stack inn distant part Of the field;' which was en tirely catsumed ; from its blowing very, hard at N. W. treat fears were entertained for the safety of the To,er, as the fire ran furiously along the hedges and groind, and nothing but the greatest exertions o f the ilhahi.tants prevented its spreading, as the water wis very distant and difficult to be got at.

Vpon a Surgeon being sent for, she confessed to him what she bad taken, and in the greatest agOLoy declared, • she had also poisoned her female bastard child, when it was only five days old. On opening the body of the child, her account appeared too true, and that ghe had taken the arsenic out of an open dell: be.. longing to her late Master, William Bray, of Ho thotoyd, near South Hiendley, with whom she , had liVed some years, and only left a few weeks before the fatal accident. To the many fatal accidents that have happened from an improper use of fire-arms, we are concerned to add that of a young woman being shot through the head one day last week, near Manchester, by a young man who nre'sented a pistol to her in jest.— The weapon had been loaded with ball sortie time, and the priming was taken away, but it is supposed a few grains of powder had fallen into the pan through the touch-hole, and on the trigger being pulled, the ball was discharged. The unfortunate victim died, after lingering four days. Last Friday; as. Mr. But.t., of . Lewes, was' partridge_ shOotink near Ringmei l his attention was suddenly attracted by a large flock of birds, consisting of four •oi- five hundred, on thc.-.• wing high in the - air, at Which he shot, and brought ;one to the ground.

A Gentleman in Invetness-shire lately shot fifty.. two brace of moor-fowl in a day. He did not fire at a bird while sitting,. nor . did he shoot more than one bird at a time.—Considerable bets were de pending. The following account of the Clove. Tree has been received from Ceylon. The Clove 'free grows to the height of about forty or fifty feet.; its branches spread, and its leaves are long and pointed. in a favourable soil, it begins to bear at fifteen years growth, is in perfection at twenty, and con tinucs to bear, without any apparent decay, till the age of forty or fifty. Some trees yield thirty pounds of cloves, but the average quantity pro duced does not amount to more than six pounds a tree; they grow -to the-greatest perfeEion in deep Valleys, well sheltered by hills, and woods, and in a soil of a rich black mould, quite dry ; though they require frequent rains for the greatest part of the year, and very hot weather at the gathering sea.. son. A clove-tree growing at Amboyna, is ascer. rained to have been planted 730 years, and in one season produced 7 100 pounds weight. . On Monday last, a servant girl, at Shrewsbury, having some difficulty to strike a light, poured some gunpowder from a bottle into the tinderbox, and the spark instantly communicating to the powder in the bottle, exploded with great violence. Several pieces of the glass were driven into the poor girl's arms and body, and her clothes at the instant taking fire, she was burnt to such excess, that one of her ears, and great part of her flesh, dropped old'; but in this horrid condition she continued to live on Thursday evening. As a Gentleman and Lady were travelling on the road adjoining the river Mersey, between Didsbury and the Northern Ford, some boys disturbed a wasp's nest, and the horse was so severely stung, that he instantly ran back into the river, which is f.ve or six yards deep. The Lady and Gentleman fortunately leaped out as the chaise was falling over the bank, and escaped being hurt. The horse was drowned, and when taken out of the river many wasps were found sticking on his head.' It is sup. posed that; from the dreadful manner the animal ivas stung, he 'must have died had he not been drowned. re-
