D'OURRIL. " We, ALEXANDER I. Emperor - and Autocrat of all the Russias s &c. &c. &c. (through all the titles of his Majesty.) . .• !' Being glinted by a Solicitude' for the preservair Con of Etirope in a state of calM and tranquillity, arid animated by a sincere desire to put an end to mistinderstanding, and re-establish Peace with` France on solid bases, we have considered it proper' to commit this task to a person enjoying our confi dunce. For that purpose we have nominated, ap pointed, and authorized ; our trusty and well-beloved - PIERRE OUBRIL, Counsellor of State, and Knight of the Orders of St. Wolodimir, of the ftird class, of St. Anne of the Second, and of St. John of Je rusalem, whom we do nominate, appoint, and au thorise, by these presents, for the purpose and to the intent of entering into conference with the per son or persons who shall be properly authorised on the part of the French Government, and of 'con cluding. and signing with them an A& or Convention upon bases proper for the settlement of Peace which is to be established between Russia and France, and to lay the foundation of Peace between the .other Belligerent Powers of Europe: “ We promise on our Imperial wor d, to take for granted, and to execute faithfully, all that shall be agreed upon and signed by our said Plenipotentiary; and also to give our Imperial ratification within the ' ).: time which shall be agreed upon. • ;117; • " In testimony of which we have signed these Pull powers, and have affixed thereto the seal of our Empire. ‘; Given at St. Petersburgh, the 30th of April, 1806, and in the sixth Tear of our Reign.

PARIS, SEPT. 6.—" The Treaty of Peace be twL.Nn Trance and Russia has not been ratified by the Emperor ALEXANDER. It would be diit - esult to find out'. an excuse or a plausible reason in the, laws of. public or private morality for this - strange refusal. We see no pretext, nor even any . subter:' fuge, for ill faith. I t cannot be alledged that -the; Russian Plenipotentiary stepped beyond his atitho..‘ • . .. I 'lit) , . N'ts.% , e'r were powers tncl:t unlitn,tteu gild, nor was there ever a proMise to ratify a Treaty more formal or more positive. A .constant intelligence was remarked. in the course 'of the Negotiations be t Ween the courts of -St. Pete'rsburgh and London, to advance, delay, or break them off. The mo t. ment the Treaty was signed M. D'OUBRIL sent a ! Courier publicly to London, to inforni the Russian Ambassador of what had just taken place. But this might be considered as the premature'notifiCa tion of a Treaty which the Imperial 7.t.461 naturally held out as ratified. In these circumstances Russia made extraordinary levies—England, it was well known, was preparing Exp'editions—but still upon the Imperial word, it was natural. to believe the Treaty would be ratiliedand the Emperor NAPO LEON gave so far this testimony of confidence in the good faith of the EMperor of .I.lifs.lia, that he di reetly issued orders for the cessation of all hostili ties.. This generous precipitancy- reminds us of the sending back of the Russian prisoners td PAUL T. and of those sent back to his son last campaign this continuation of generosity !forms a singular aid- trast with the perseverance of hostile sentiments which the Emperors of Russia observe towards the Emperor of the French, and would alone *suffice to mark the difference of their cauSes. . " The Emperor A L E XANDER may openly set forth the new grievances he has against Fratice. Faithful to the prineiples of the Treaty of PreS burgh, she has only completed its execution. The organization of the Germanic Confederation was its inevitable consequence—it consecrated the inde pendence of the States which compose it—irrevoca bly regulated their relations, and put them in bar-, molly with their interests.. This association had been long foreseen and cal:el for, as essential to the future repose of Europe: • The communications. made in this respect between the Members of the Germanic Body had commenced several months prior - to! M. IYOusam's mission to Paris. , The pad was -made and known previous to the signa ture of the Treaty of Peace, and France was in the same attitude—she alone had a right to complain that a Russian Division persisted in the occupation of a neutral territory. " For want of plausible reasons, we may seek for the secret motive of this rupture ; we shall find it, however, to be no more dictated by the inte rest of Russia, than it is by the laws of 'honour and justice. • " For these 15 years past a war has been carried on against France. which has indeed often changed its name or its pretext ; but the constant aim of which has been to lower or destroy the French. power. • However, the obstacles set against her have only served as steps to her elevation; the fate of arms has left no other bounds to her preponderance than het own moderation ; and such has been her fortune, that the most obstinate of her' enemies saw• ‘)eace as the only resource, and the. sole means of :tipping the flight she had taken.-At the time of the organization of the new Ministry, there ap- Peated under their auspices at London, a work in which this opinion was laid down in a spirit which announced, perhaps, less the desire than the neces sity of making peace. Whilst the author reprOach ed the farmer Ministers with their inconsistency, their precipitation, their \ coalitions ill formed and ill conchieled, he considered peace as the best means of One day attacking. ,France with success, of, 'ex tinguishing by degrees her military spirit, of ruining , her alliances, and repairing the loss of the Allies ; of concerting more feasible designs, and waiting for more favourable occasions.—Th e Morning. Chronicle of the 21st and 22d, following the same principles, does not fear to affirm that no Power is now able to attack the prosperity of France, and advises her Enemies to adjourn their resentment. Thus, ac cording to the most moderate writers, the English Go v'ertiment would never see any thing in peace but means of more advantageously making war. The metotiations then open would be snares, the olive branch they hold out a poison. Under such cir cumstances;wirli such Enemies, France owes thanks to him, who, penetrating their desi g ns, has found means to secure himself against them. But from the fatality ever attached fti their plots, after reveal ing their, secrets, they have again betrayed. their cause. Their position is not More favourable than .at the ,encl. of last war. They have neither more skilful Generals, better'exercised Soldiers, nor 'better concertect•designs. If they again find Allies on' the Continent, they devote them to certain ruin.' The Emperor, NAPOL E ON has read their thoughts; be ihas known how to avail himself of the advantages of t ikis vidory ;he has been Obliged-to keep his • 5 A tary,,attituae ; and, happily for the future tranquil liPy of Europe, those who wish only for truces, those ,m 711,0 waited for, his sleep, and can keep neither their word nor their treaties, will' find him still more formidable than in the plains of musterLf PARIS, SEPT. B,—Yesterday bis Majesty the Em peror and King received, at a private audience, at the Palace of St. 'Cloud, iris Excellency the Marquis De LUCCHESINI, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary froth his Majesty the King of Prussia. His Exeellency presented his letters of recall. After the audience, his ExCellency General Kxo- BELSbOIiF was introduced into:the Cabinet of the Emperor, and presented his credentials as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from his Majesty -the King of Prussia, to his Majesty the Emperor and King. VIENNA, AUG. 23.—The Diet will be assem . _ _ . bled in Hungary, in the course of next month, when ~t4e bases will be proposed of a new Constitution, l $ ore beneficial to that kingdom. It . appears to r .have no other objet 'than to recompense the un shaken fidelity of the Hungarians towards the House of Austria. . BERLIN, AUG. KNOBELSDORF, who re pairs.to Paris as Envoy Extraordinary, was to haVe gone to Constantinople as Ambassador; this change leaves room to presume that M. DE KNOBELSDOIIP may 'remain' a long time at Paris.. Our Politicians speak already of a journey to be made by "the Mar quis of LUCCHESINI ; but the a6tivity which reigns. in our diplomatic relations is so ample a source of conjecture, that' it is not necessary to add to it. The sudden arrival of Prince WITGENSTEIN, his Majesty's Minister to' the Eleeior of Hesse, has.. even rise to several conferences, whence people/ pre 'me that a closer .alliance is forming between our ourt and that of Cassel. TwO other Ministers of. Majesty.are also arrived . in this thy, viz. taron • - JAContA 'uorAr, -necredite.3' to' the Court of London, and M. DE CAsAß;accredited to the Hague. Baron DE HAENLIPLE repairs to Dresd en ; as hit .11jesty's Minister, to conf er , th ere w i t h t h e Eleao ral Minister, - upon the organization of the Plan of Constitution for the North of Germany. Measures are, taken, both - at Dresden and C asse l, tO forward this grand Plan. MajOr 7 General DE Prunt. has -been sent by His Majesty to Brunswick, because an indisposition pre; wilted WS Serene Highness froM. repairihg hither, in consequence of the invitation sent by his Majes ty., _.-•His . Serene HighneSs'S arrival had been pre maturely announced. The exchange of Couriers bet Ween Berlin and St. Petersburgh is more active than ever ; these couriers are the bearers of letters written by the two,Sovereigns themselves. The Prince of FIOLIENLOHE INDELFINGEN is go ing to take the command of the Army of Silesia, and his Royal Highness Prince LOUIS FEEDINAIiD of Prussia will command the one assembling in the - 61- , 1 virons of Magdeburgh. The Prince of BARATINSKY, Chamberlain to the Emperor of Russia; is arrived here from Russia: M. D'ARSENIEFF, Captain in the Russian serviee, is set out from Berlin for Dresden. Within these few days past several French and Russian Couriers have passed through here. - WEsEL, AUG. 26.--The fortifications of our town and of the citadel are going to be considerably extend ed; the workS will immediately begin—the necessary materials are colle&ing throughout , the surrounding countries, and even as tar as Holland; the contraaors are shortly to furnish several thousand brick's. It is said, that ifew incidents have given rise to some di •plornatic discussions, which have delayed the new ar rangements to betaken in the North of Germany. - It is added, that proposals have been made to the King of Prussia, for the purpose of more Lily concen trating 'his States, to give up his possesSionS in Westphalia, and a part of the Country of Hanover,. for indemnities in Saxony; that East Friezland, with the port of Embden, Will aggrandize Holland; that the rest of Western Westphalia will be join:- ed to the States of the Grand Duke Of 'Berg; • and that Eastern Westphalia will be sTiVen, with a part of Hanover, to the Ele&or of Hesse; who, in his turn, will cede the County of Hanau and a part of his-other possessions.- LusaCe and the Sovereign ty over all the Petty States of the North of Germany will also, according to this plan, devolve to the King of Prussia, &c. We shall shortly know whether these' reports haVe any foundation. Some travellers late ly come from _Russia announce, that from St. Peters burgh to Russian Poland there are different camps of troops, and that many magazines have been esta— blished along that road. Letters from Dresden announce, that several CH . :: cies of the Ele6torate of Saiony have demanded the establishment of the Provincial Militia, and that the Ministers are settling a plan for this _purpose. The present period is highly favourable to this plan ; for the stagnation in most.of themanufaCtories of Saxony has left a considerable number of work Men only_the resource of military service. NAPLES, AUG. 17.—The Chiefs of a Conspiracy which tended to nothing, less than to murder air the friends of the French, were arrested the very night their plot was to have been put in execution ; viz. the Reverend Father ANTHONY DE CUTHO, a Fran -ciscart. Friar ' • R ANTON IA MELLICA, ANDREW SOLLA, arid MICHAEL At.BANESE. Their whole correspondence, and the other proofs of their horrible scheme, were seized upon them. Upon being tried before the Military Commission of Cas tel-Nuovo, they were found guilty, and condemned to death on the 11 th inst. This sentence was exe cuted the following day.—Moniteur Aapolitain. • ST. GALLE, AUG . . 28.7—The most ef6cacious mea sures are adopting in Switzerland, to carry into effectt the Decree of the Diet, relative to the prohibition of the introduelion of English merchandize. EAST INDIES. BOMBAY, FEB. B.—By the arrival of the Brig Jo hanna, at Madras, from Rangoon, which she left the ipth ultimo; we learn, that all' was quiet there. The 'Wesley, Captain BURN, and . .Conthnerce, Captain EATON, had left . Rangoon previous to the sailing of the Johanna. The Betsey French Privateer had put to sea. By a letter of the 3d December, received from Ma lacca, we are concerned to state the total loss of the Ship La Pail', Capt. WRIGHT, bound from China to this port, on a reef . or bank of hard sand, about 12 miles north oiCape Richardo, and between four and five miles off shore. This unfortunate' loss of a fine Ship and a very valuable cargo happened at half past five on the afternoon of the 27th November, being the day after they sailed from Malacca for this Port. It appears the whole of the crew had been saved, but the cargo was totally lost, notwithstatiding every possible exertion had been used by Captain WRIGHT, his officers, and crew, to preserve it. Among the curiosities which generally excite 'the attention of strangers who visit Gaeta, are the tomb of LUCIUS MUNANTUS PLANCUS, which is usually called by the inhabitants La Tprre d'Orlando (RoLAwn's Tower :) another tower still more an cient, which is called Latratina, because •thereare on the walls several Anubes, or dog-headed figures; and the tomb of CHARLES . DE BOURBON; who died in ISQB, while besieging Rome. Not more than 60 years since the skeleton of - that Warrior was exhibit ed on the gates of that fortress, the Popes having or dered that he should not be buried in consecrated ground, as a punishment for his having warred against the Church. , On Tuesday week, in the evening, the True Bri ton coach, going from the White Lion, in Notting ham, for London, was overturned at the bottom of Bakergate, owing to one of the axleL.trecs breaking. There was a great number of outside passengers,. some of whom wer:-. materially ininFed ; a Minister in the Methodist connexion received a severe fraature on his skull; his wife had an - arm broken and I a shoulder dislocated, and several others received con tusions.: more or less severe : we are happy to learn, however, they are all - in a fair way of recovery.-- A similar. accident happened to one of the Manches- Jet coaches, at Mountsorrel, on . Sunday se'nnight, by which -the coachman was so dreadfully bruised about the, head - as 'to occasion his death in a few hours after Wards, and,a - Gentleman, on the outside, hail one of his legs broken, lilC - Pffn , . The gross and atroCious murder of Ann Maria .Podley, at St. John's, Horsleydown, we have had ix= Casion to notice. in a former Paper.

A Gentleman of the Faculty was sent far; and in the course of his attendance found that his patient's disord er was rather._ mental than corporeal. On - a, visit on -Monday last-he told hiM very frankly that no medical assistance could be afforded him unlesst he,disburthened his mind of something that appeared to affect hirriL-4111 then he could not afford Ilia' any. relief. Pressing this point, the man 'at length was brought to confess that the perturbation • of his mind was* caused by the concern he had in Mrs. Pooley's business. Of the murder he had no knowledge ; : but he said he was concerned in the .cobbery.. 7The'Surgeon then administered .his professional aid,-arid proceeded in a proper way to give -informa tion to the Police, who sent their °dicers, and last Wednesday evening he was removed to Bow-street, where he has underwent a private examination be fore Mr. REID, and stands for a farther examination. lir the mean time, he remain§ at Etazard's, in Bow street; in .custody;.. and a wOman is also in custody as an accessary.. ,In the present stage of .the busi ness it would tend to defeat the ends of publickisticc to go farther into the subjea. ,Tor the discovery of th e perpetrators Of the abo ve murder a reward of 1001. has been offered' in the London GazelL, and a pardon to- any 'accomplice. —Mrs. Pooley had apartments, in Cro'ss-Strect, Hoisleydown, 'Southwark, where she was accu,s-. torned to live alone, and was seldom knoWn to have any parson call on her. She subsisted - by mo ney paid her regularly every quarter ;, and .it was known that she always .had from twenty tp•thirty pounds in the house. The 12th of Angust was the, last day this Lady was seen by any.person out (li the house: and When the m ilk- woman an d other daily trades-people called, as was usual, they found the daar.of the apartment fastened ; arid, supposing that she was gone into thecountry, made no thrtlkr inquiry. On the 20th of August it appears the nejghbouthood was - annoyed by a bad smell, which gave cause to an alarm that the old . Lady had. died, unknown to any person. The ,door of her apart-! merit was instantly broken op:bn, when she Was dis covered in the most emaciated condition, :lying on her bed, with her head almost severed from her . body. No knife was found near her person, which - is the tnostconvincing proof that She could not have corwhittetLthe deed herself; besides, her money; Ny l hi-ch we have before said to be from twenty to - 'thirty pounds, and known to be in the house, was taken sway.

One of the workmen, of the. name of Dennis, first reached the spot, and rescued the- wretched woman from the fate that awaited her. She was couvev‘i2cl . to a house nearest the spot, but, she refused to give any further accountof herself ) tha n th a t s h e had re turned to town , from Margate On the preceding day,. and that she, had,once before been disappointed of ridding herself of worldly cares.

She waited a considerable time, and at last went into his study, where she discovered him lying on the floor, lifeless.
