3 Frtm the FRENCH and DUTCH PAPERS. Rims, SEPT.. 9.—The refusal .of the Emperor ALE3CANDER, to ratify the Treaty ofJ 2 eace already concluded between France and 'Russia, has not as yet been followed by the rupture of the Negotia tions between the French and .English Plenipoten tiaries, though certainly, according to all appearance, they leave but slight. hopes of Peace. In the mean time, as the signature of Peace with',RUssia was folkiwed by - preparations on the• part of the French for the evacuation of , Germany, so the unexpeaed determitiatio.n - on the part of the Court of St. Peters burgh, which rejeaed a Treaty which had,been.ac-.. tinily signed, has immediately detemined the I.rn peror NAPOLEON to cotntermand the orders for the return of his Army to France, where' some of it was already ,arrived,. and the whole would have . been ',soon colleEted. The Camp of Meudcip; in whiCh• the troops first returned were assembled,. and which in a tew days would not have been suf ficient to - contain the number of troops expe&ed, is about to break up ; and we are assured that or ders have been transmitted to Marshal Prince BER THIgR, Minister of War, and Major- I General of the Grand Army, to stop the return of the Army, which was either commenced, or on the point of beginning. If the presence of the troops stationed shall be ne ce9sary in - Germany or elsewhere, ttiey will soon be at their posts. Europe well knows how short, a time is required for French troops to transport them selves wherever glory is to be sought. Prince Js-aOI‘IE:I39APAT - E arrived on Sunday at St. Cloud, after his long cruize. His Majesty im mediately presented him with. the Great Ribbon of the Legion of Honour. From the 1 ath of December to the 26th of August.this Prince continually kept the sea in the midst' f hostile Squadrons, supporting in ,every quarter the liOnour of the French Flag, and doing irreparable mischief to the English commerce. in tracing . the history of his voyage, as it is, detailed in_ the English Papers, we see him, on his first putting to sea, compel the Convoy 'destined -for the East Indies and America to return. to the Irish Ports; frorn'thence he went to St. Helena, in, which remote cruize he destroyed several Enemy's Vessels. , The Squadron afterwards put into St. Salvador, the-ca pital of the Brazils : to procure fresh provisions for the few sick- they had on board... It afterwards coasted along South America, and destroyed several English Privateers ;- and, on a sudden, appeared in the West Indies, throwing the Trade and Colonies of the Enemy into consternation ; and obliging Ad miral COCHRANE to take, shelter in Barbadoes.— After it quitted Martinique, it went to, St. Domingo, where it repressed the scandalous traffic of some --American adventurers, who trade with. the rebel Negroes. It appears that in pursuing them to the Northward, the Sqnadron encountered a gale of wind; which separated the ; Veteran from. the other Ships. The Prince then steered for the coast Of France, and after having chased several other Vessels, Ile destroyed above half -the Quebec Convoy, and put 4o flight the Frigates which accompanied it. The, lOssot - this' Convoy .creates the most painful sensa tioirin -England, because it was freighted with tim ber-Pr the Navy, which was much wanted. At last the Veteran entered a French Port, .without the Eng 'lish GoVernment -being able, notwithstanding they had covered the seas with superior Squadrons, under 'the orders of DUCKWORTH, LOUIS,. COCHRANE, STFLACHAN, and WARREN, to prevent the French division from fulfilling any one of its missions. Letters from L'Orient mention, that Prince JeßomE, during this long crnize; wished to partake the fa tignes -of it like any other' Officer ; and that the only time when Admiral DUCKWORTH, with a su .perior force, was near enough to render air engage ment probable, the Prince entreated Admiral VIL 7 I.EAUMEZ to be allowed the honour of leading the Squadron into a&ion. The crews, animated by his example, manifested the greatest impatience to en, gage; and every thing leads us to hope'the result of it would have been glorious for the French Navy, if the wind had not separated the two Squadrons, and given Admiral VtiA.EAmsaezan opportunity of pur suing his destination. . - HAGUE, SEPT. 10.—A company of Dutch Sappers, quartered at,present at. Bergen-op-Zooni, are - ander orders to go to the camp at Zeist, and put it in a state to be again Occupied. NAPLES, AUG. 15.—The Royal' Decree for the establishment of four Tribunals, for the trial of per sons charged with taking part with the rebels, en . a6ts a variety of Regulations for the purpose of conducting there trials in a summary manner. — The sentences of the Tribunals are to be executed within twenty-four hours •afterthey are passed. In cases - where the accused shall . ba-declared innocent, the accusers,, denouncers,' and witnesses,. who shall be conviaed of perjury and calumny, shall be con demned to the same punishment which the accused would have been subjed to if he liad been found guilty. NAPLES, Aug. I.—The Brigands who at Lago , negr . o could not bear the sight of the -French, hay iog Joined the. Rebels of Lauria, Marshal MassENt repaired thither, thinking they would implore his clemency ; but daring to resist, and their- place of retreat being taken by assault, Lauria was given up flames. oerageousfernale, who had concealed aFrench Offiter in her house, at the moment when the re volt b.toke out, kept . him• safely till Marshal MAS :SENA . rrived, when to save this Officer she exposed 'her laWri life. Frenchgratituderespeded her house, and for the purpose of•-saving• it from the flames all the'buildings cc ntiguous,to it,were spared. • . NAPLES, Ave. 2.—Yesterday, after the com munication between'this'City - and Calabria had been long interrupted, the usual 'post arrived here for the first time; an indelible -proof than tranquillity is perfedly restored in that .quarter. In -the mean while, every thing . shews the extreme danger that . attended the insurre6tion, and this was only held in check by the vigilance, and bravery of the French, assisted by the well , disposed part of the inhabitants. The French Army had sc6rcely re-entered Calabria when a new insurreaion broke out between that place and this City. The insuraents ravaged Sar coni, Viggiano, Montemurro, Spinosa, Trainutola, and •Corletto ; having chosen Sarconi for theit ' point of union. Five hundred French being dis ' patched with all speed from•Lagonegro, were joined - by an equal number of the well , disposed inhabit ants.—they ants—they marched to Sarconi, where, as usual, \.),\> the insurgents were headed by two Monks, CAR• MIRA Float and CIUFFO. Upon the unexpe&ed appearance of the French they immediately fled, but made head again at Viggiano ; but as• Major CAssci.s followed them with 300 young men, well armed, they were 'attacked on both iidesit once, and mostly cut to pieces. The inhabitants of the Province of Lucena have Dot been less faithful. There the Enemy attempted to make a landing .at three different' pCiints, while about two hundred insurgents that had arrived from Upper Italy did gvery thing in 'their power to in duce the people to join them. In the mean time, the French Troops, the National Guards, and the Provincial Legion, arriving to disarm ,the-,tyttives supposed to be'disaffeded, executed their purpose in. five Albanian villages. The two hundred-insur gents fell into the • hands of justice.; 'ahcLthe Eng lish; who, according" to a pre-concerted, plan, had attacked Rodi; Vie;ti,, and Serra' Capre6ne, were repulsed with loss. Our whole Coast is now lined with troops and since the Bey of TUNIS has pro mised to respect the Neapolitan Flag, we have sent upwards of fifty Vessels to the Coast of Tunis to fish for coral The French Minister of War has published a Letter, in which the Emperor NAPOLEON expresses his particular satisfaaion with General DULAULOY, who commanded , the Artillery at Gaeta, as wet' as with all the Officers and Privates of that corps. AUGSEURGH, SEPT. I.—Yesterday the first co lumn of. the Austrian prisoners, on their return to their own country, 400 in number, passed through this city. Prince BERTH/UK has ordered the parka artillery 'on the other side of the Lech, to be sent back to Strasburgh. FRANKFORT, SEPT.‘5.—The possession of Friuli by the French, and some other places on the Adriatic Sea, is said to have taken place with the consent of the Court of Vienna ; but this military -occupation it is thought will last but a short. time. It is remarked that no kind of military preparation is going on in Hesse. ERLANGEN, SEPT. 2.—From . Anspach we learn, that Marshal BERNADOTTE had. all his effeas Packed up ever since last Friday; but that on Saturday after noon chspatelies arrived from Parit; the c:intents of which, to judge from the extraordinary activity that followed, and the number of Estafettes immediately sent off by the Marshal, must have . been of. the highest importance. • FRANKFORT, SEPT. 7.—The difference which has subsisted between MarsharAuGEßEAu and the Ma gistrates here, has been amicably adjusted. In other respeas things remain exa6tly upon the' same foot ing : but as to the secret obstacles which have hin dered-the:opening of the Confederation of the Rhine in this City, they are kept a prolounFl secret. Since a lai.iluantity Of artillery bas been sent back from the Grand Army to Strasburgh, we learn that Prince BLatutEaonly waits for the news of the ratifica tion.of the Peace with Russia, .(o give orders for the whole Army'to return to France. • Letters from Cassel. mention, that it is not yet de cided *hat part the Eleefor of Hesse shall take. From Dresden it appears that preparations for war were extremely adive all through Saxony.— The French troops on the Saxon frontier_ are reckon ed at - sitteen thousand men; but Marshal BEItNA DOTTE is in the rear, *whose Corps is between forty and fifty thousand strong. IWURTZJAIRGH, SEPT. 2.—lt is stated from Ber- lin, that the military preparations in . Prussia ought not to excite : any alarm, as they have no other ob je6t than to obtain some advantages •in the, North of Germany. BORDERS OF THE MAINE, SEPT. 6.—Some of the Journals say • the Eledor .of Saxony and the King of Prussia have come to an agreement upon certain measures. The French troops at this mo ment upon the Saxon confines are estimated at thirty thousand men. From Vienna, it is mentioned, that they are ex tremely alive in transporting cannon and warlike ammunition, which has given rise to various :con jedures. However, we are agreed here, that there is no other object in view, but the mere removal of the cannon, &c. to Hungary, Galicia, and Bohemia. VENICE, AUG. 23.—We are still uncertain as to the fate of Cataro. Letters of a very late date received here say, that the French Plenipotentiary, the Russian Admiral, and . the Austrian Com mandant, have all arrived at the Mouth of the Cataro, in order to take possession of the Fortress, consistently with the Treaty of Presburgh ; and that the Russian Admiral, had declared, that the orders which he had received from his Court woald authorise hind to deliver the place up without the intervention of the Austrian General. General MARMONT has 'arrived at Ragusa with two Regiments ; and a feast has been given in that City' to celebrate the Peace concluded between Rus sia and France. BASLE, AUG. 20.—The reruiting for the Swiss Re giments for the French service, according to the late capitulation, ha's commenced. The recruiting parties have arrived, and the money is expected. DUSSELDORF, SEPT. 4.—The, States of the dif ferent,Provinces of the Grand Duchy of Berg having been summoned by a Decree of the Grand Duke of the 22d of August last, to assemble on the Ist of September, at Dusseldorf, in, a General Diet, to de , liberate , on the respective interests of the said Pro vinces, andalso upon the means of uniting all under one and the same Constitution, the Members of the States of the Duchiesof Berg and Cleves, and those of the States, of the Principality of Horstmar and the County of Bentheirn, met here on 'Monday last. They proceeded on the same day to the Grand Dc- , _ cal Palace, where, at -two o'clock in the afternoon, they met the Sovereign, and also M. AGAR., Minister of the Finances ; the Count Da 'NEssELlienit, Mi nister of the Interior; and M. FrientvE, Coun sellor of State, appointed by his Imperial and Royal Highness his Commissioners to the Diet. These Commissioners were likewise . joined by the other Counsellors of State. Tlie Grand Duke arrived at the Castle of Benrad, escorted by his Guard ofi Ho nour, and having. in his. Suite several carriages, in which were the' Civil and Military Officers of his Household. The Commissioners to the Diet, the Members of that Assembly, and the Counsellors of State, entered with the Grand Duke into the Flail of the Council of State, where was situated the Throne of his Imperial and Royal ,Highness. The Grand Duke Was seated - on the Throne, surrounded by the Officers of his Household, and the Guard of Honour, having by his side the two*Ministers and the Counsellors of State, and before him the Mem bers of the Diet, placed at the bottom of the Hall.. The MeMbers of.the Noblesse of the Principality of Horstmar and the'Contity.of Bentheith; who bAI not taken the Oath of Fidelity, ap'proached the Throne, and promised to, be, faithful, to his Imperial and Royal Highness, and to the Constitution of the ;Country. The Grand* Duke then Opened the Diet with the following Speech - • • - " Gentlemen, lWem!'ers cf the Nobles:se, and De puties of Towns (Y . the Grand Duchy of Berg, " When Divine Providence and the contidenee of the Great Man who now astonishes the Universe called me to the Sovereignty of this Grand •Duchy, I con tra&ed the obligation of rendering my subjects, hap py. To do this, when I received the oaths of the • greater part ,of the Members whO hear me,:' I swore myself. Since that' period, far from - being intimidated 'by the -obstacles . which. I have 'en countered in my endeavours to give to ray Govern . meat a pure and uniform system, which might be adapted to the Administration of the different States of which the Country is composed, all my efforts have been directed towards that . objeCt ; and the' testimonies of attachment which I have received, have given me new vigour, and have rendered my task not only' less difficult, but,• I will even ,say, pleasant to fulfil. Every step, however, contributes' to amelioration, and if with inadequate means we have hitherto obtained some happy results, what hopes may we not be permitted to entertain now that we are strong in the 'Confederation of which we make, a part, and powerful in the power of the August Prote&or who is given to us ? I am, never;- theless, still very far from the end which I propose to myself ; and how can I hope to attain it, if, a stranger to the Administrations of the Countries recently united to 'my Grand Duchy, I am not en titled to rely upon the abilities and the: affection of the Deputies of my States, the MemberS of my Council and the ,different _Chiefs of the Public Ad ministration, who have all hitherto so powerfully seconded me ? " Gentlemen; Members of the koblesse, and Gen " tlemen, Deputies of the Towns, . _ "It is with these . views, •and-in this hope that I have assembled you this day. My Commission will present different obje&s to your deliberation; : you will discuss them with wisdom, and the, excellent spirit by which you are animated; your enlighten-, ed zeal and your love for your Country, all assure me beforehand of the- good, which I shall effe& in conjun&ion with you. When.you afterwards re turn to your families, and join .your fellow : Country men—ttll them that their Sovereign wishes to •he their Father—the Father of the Country—tell them that their interests will be.constantlythe . objeEt of all my solicitude, environe . d by the, confidence of •my faithful FunaiOnaries point out to tne what I can do, the abuses which, I can destroy; assist me, final ly, in augmenting the happines of my Subjeas, and rendering their burthens lighter. You 'will acquire by this means an eternal title to my, thankS; an(A you will be called to partake with me the public gratitude." The Speech being finished, his Imperial and Royal Highness put an end to the Sitting, and ixas j*-con duaed to his carriage by his Ministers and Counsel lors of State, and by the Me.mberS of the Diet._ MADRID, AUG. 11.—A Courier arrived here from Paris on the night of the 2d, must have brought iro portant dispatches. His arrival produced an' , extra ordinary bustle. at Court, as well as in the office of the Secretary of State. The PRINCE of PEACE re paired to his office at five in the Morning. The an swer to the 'above-mentioned dispatches was pre pared in the course of a few hours, and sent off by a special Messenger that evening. Being unac quainted with the nature of these dispatches, we cannot determine their connexion with the re markable determination which our Court has taken. His Catholic Majesty, in consideration of the political circumstances of the moment, has re solved to place 40,000 of his army upon the war establishment. The. Noble Candidate for Westminster is not, like most of the sprigs of fashion, who devote themselves wholly to dress and dissipation; he holds forth a model to them which, were they to imitate, they might become ornaments to their . Country, • if they possessed correspondent abilities. Lord PERCY is an excellent scholar, and it has been one of the chief •objets of his 'study to render himself deeply conversant with the nature of the English Constitu tion, of which there is every reason to believe that he will prove a powerful support, by .the firmness of his public principles, and his exemplary concha in private life. Mr. Fox, according to report, is to be buried in a very private manner. But it is also said that his re mains are to be deposited in Westminster Abbey; a circumstance not improbable, as the Dean of West minster is understood to have attended a meeting of Ministers on Tuesday last, at .the house of the SPEAKER of the House of Commons. Lord Jomq TOWNSHEND was formerly a Candi- , date for Westminster in conjunation with Mr . . Fox,. with whom he had been connected in early life, and to whom he was united by a complete union of po litical principles. It was therefore Mr. Fox's parti-•• cular desire, to have this early friend and brother Politician hiS Colleague in the • representation. of Westrn *luster. Lord Jo lIN Tow ris REND has no idea Of offering himself for that place, but' has, it is said, tendered his cordial support to.. Lord PERCY, as a young Nobleman of the Most promising virtues. and. • talents. THURLOW PEERAGE.—This'title apd dignity is entailed in the first instance on the sons of the' late Bisholi of Duatiam, whose eldest son. (in the 26th 'year of his age), EDWARD, is now Lord TirurtLow. , It is secondly entailed on the Rev. SOUTH THUR EOW, Prebendary of Norwich, the so❑ of another brother of the late venerable Peer, who has'several children. The hloWing up of the Powder Magazine rit Malta, and a similar accident which had nearly happened at Jersey; point out in a forcible manner, •the impro priety of keeping- matches, fuses, potfiies, &c. in a powder magazine. They should certainly be kept apart. It should be .likewise the case of loaded shells. On ship-board = the frietion ofloaded shells, from the, ship's motion, should be carefully avoided, of which we had a lamentable example in the lesas. STOCK EXCHANGE JR4UD. At two . o'clock ye: erday Joseph Elkin Dani.-is was again brcught .I,?efore the _LON D MA Yon, in pur- . suauce. of his Lordship's order on Tuesday ;---he wra4 put to the Bar at half past t when the s',.vt.r.lt depositions of Mr. Montefiore, Mr. Fuller, and Mr. Hancock were read. Mr. WRIGHT, the late solicitor and legal : - .4c.lviier of Daniels, was present ; t he attended in Conse quet:ce of a request . made to him by the LORD MAYOR, to give evidence respe&ing the tendency of a conversation held with _Mr. Daniels on the subjea of his late condua a few days before he (Mr. D.) absconded. The respe&ability of Mr. Wright's cha , 7 ratter is too well known to require' comment ; he said, that if his testimony was considered to be at all necessary, he certainly would not withhold it ;- but as he held-it to be a prudent maxim, that all private communication between an Attorney and his Client should be sacredly kept, he trusted he should not, on ,the present occasion, be obliged to vary from the rule of conduel he had ever laid down for his owti government. The Counsel, Mr. CONST and Mr. MARRYATT, acquiesced, and Mr. Wright was not examined. Mr. CowsT then addressed the Lon n MAron, and after thanking his Lordship for the very great atten tion he had paid to the case now before him, ex presied his doubts on the possibility of maintaining an indi&ment against the Prisoner for felony ; anct, in order to save further time or trouble, submitted that the wisest plan which could be resorted to would be' to commie him to further -custody, undei: the warrant of the Chief Justice, for not appearing to his Commission. Mr. MARRIATT„ in an address of sonic length, concurred in this opinion ; and stated that he conferred, since Tuesday; with several of his sup riors at the Bar, all of whom agreed with hith in opinion, that the best pian'that could, under all the circumstances of the case, be resorted to, was to deliver the Prisoner over to be dealt with under the warrant of the Loan CHIEF JUSTICE. The LORD MAYOR repeated the opinion he gave on Tuesday; but ordered Daniels to be discharged under his own warrant, and given over to that of LORD ELLRNBOROUGH. • Du consequence Of a dispute having arisen between Lieut. F. of the Royal Marines, and Lieut. L. of the Cardiganshire, Militia, on Friday evening, it was agreed that a , meeting should take place next morning in a field between Chatham and Gravesend. At half past eleven o'clock the parties met, attended by their seconds.--- 7 As the seconds were unable to bring .about a reconciliation, they tQok their stations; and after firing. a .brace of pistols each, fortunately without eff4t, the seconds interfered, and the matter was accommodated, , • . 'FATAL DITEL.—A dUel was fought on Saturday . last,. near Twyfori.l 7 house, Bucks, .between a Gen-. tleman of the name of ,FxTficri, whom we under stall& was a Hamburgh Merchant, and 'a Gentleman Of the name of TYSON. - ,The competitors were 'on shooting parties in the neighbourhOod,,and a dispute arose re-pee - tin their dogs, the one having disturbed the game allotted for the diversion of the other. A meeting was the consequence, and Mr. TYSON re ceived a shot in the body, of which he expired out Monday. • • IsetrEsT.--Yesterday evening an Inquisition was held at the York Shire Grey, in Mint-street, in the Borough, on ,the body of a man, supposed to be Wm. Hole, a brewer's servant or w'afcliMan. •Mr. Hop kins, Mr. Francis Good, and Many" other Gentlemen who were .present, deposed, that on the night of Sunday last, the carriage of a Macistrate, driven by a coachman with another on the box, came furiOusly round the corner from Great Sutiolk-street to Hig glees-lane ; two persons, a, man and a woman, narrowly escaped being run over by their furious driving. Just as the carriage cane by Gibbs's house, at the door of which the body of Ann Wintrilood was lately found, it was discovered that some per son had been ran over. The carriage was stopped, and it appeared that the coachman, however impru dent he might haVe been, was wholly ignorant of having done any wrong. Mr. Price, of Blackfriars road, arid Mr. Hosegood, of Kent -street, surgeons, were both called in. Their opinions were; that a tread On the holloW part of. the right arm, and the driving in of the left side of the head, so as to pro duce a Concussion on the brain, apparently done 'by the tread of the horses, was the cause of his death. The Jury found • a Verdi& of Mamilaughter—and a deodand of 101. was taken. An Inquisition was taken on Tuesday, at the Half way House, between Cookham and Beaconsfild, on 'The body of Mr. PineOtt; who was'shot on the pre ceding day, in the following manner :—The deceased was a hop-fgior at Clapton, 'and he accompanied a friend, with whom he was on a visit, over some grounds with his dog and gun. Having had - occYsion 'to get over a hedge during their diversion, the de ceased, being a Man of ag.iity, first got over, and in ' order to assist his friend, he gave him the but end of his piece to assist him_ up t 4-i bank, but it went off, and lodged the contents in Mr. P.'s body, who immediately expired. The Verd,ia was Accidental Death. This is a pra&ice very frequently adopted ; but it is to be hoped that this will operate as a cau tion. Six of the unfortunate men, lately under sentence of death at Lancaster, were on Saturday last execut. , ed on the new-drop, ere&ed at the back of the Castle, viz. James Stockton, James Powell, and James Holland, for an unnatural crime ; Luke Lockard and Peter Higgins, for forgery ; and James Yates, for a rape. Previous to leaving the Castle, the Prisoners seemed to Join the Clergyman in de vout prayer, and their awful fate appeared to make a sensible impression on their minds.. The other Prisoners in the Castle, under sentence of death, viz. Charles Johnson nix' Robert' Thomas, for for gery, Isaac Kitchen and J. Rix, for an unnatural crime, are respited during His Majesty's pl6sure: -DELAYS ARE DANGEROUS ---If -the Lottery Ad venturers .are not quick in supplying thenlselves with Tickets or Shares, in the present State Lottery, they may be disappoloted..' hjA e4cpeaed they will ,all be sold before the Wheel goes -round, "as .would have been the'case in the last February Lottery, when 20,600 Tickets' were sold before the Drawing com menced-, In this Lottery ,there are only 20,000 Tickets, and no private Lottery can be determined by it. _ Begins Drawing the 13th of next Mouth.
