STUTGARDT, J. 1. —This day, in the forenoon, the agreeable intellige4.lce of the creation. of this Eleetorate into a Monarchy . was announced here by the ringing of bells, and the discharge of too pieces of cannon, partly before and partly after Divine Ser vice. A Herald has also proclaimed the event in all the public places,. which has been received with loud acclamations, and every demonstration of joy. JAN. 2.—The stay of the Emperor N'A -I"9LEON at Munich will only be for a few days; he Will set out with the Empress JosiATINE immedi ately for Paris. The French Army will very soon break up in three Columns from the Austrian States for the Rhine. The Articles of the Peace are not yet published, as the Emperor FRANCIS has not yet been able to ratify it. According to well informed persons, however, the contents are the following : Bavaria receives the whole Tyrol, without any exception, the Northern part of the late Archbishopric of Baltzburgh, the principal city of Eiehstadt, the city of 4 A,,iasburgh, all the territory of Anterior- Austria, except the Brisgau and the Ottennau.-- Austria receives Saltzburgh and Berchtelsgaden, for which the .Elector of Saltburzb has Wurtzburgh and Aachafferiburgh, and the Elc&or Arch-Chancel lOr receives an Imperial town for his indemnification.. SCUON)3III.ItIV, DEC. 29.--Before the Emperor ISTAPOIXON left this place, he published on the 27th' the f01107. - ing Froclalllation to the Army : " Peace between me and the EMPEROR of -Aus- TatA is signed : you have in this late season of the 'yea' made two Campaigns. You have performed every thing I expected from you. I am setting out to return to my capital. I have promoted and distributed rewards to those who have ais tinguished themselves most. I will perform to ydu every thin;_ I have promised. You have seen that your Ettperor has shared with you all dangers and fatigues ; you shall likewise see him surrounded with all that grandeur and splendour which become the sovereignty of the first Nation in the world. In the beginning of the month of May I will give a grand festival at Paris : you . shall all be there ; and we shall then see whither we are called by the hap piness of our Country and the interest of our'glory. " Solders, during the three months which are -:-.:eessary for your return to France, be the example of all Armies. You have now to give examples, not of courage and intrepidity, but of stria disci pline. May my Allies no more have to complain of yotir behaviour. Condu& yourselves on yoUr ar rival in that sacred territory like children in the bosom of their family. My People will condti& themselves towards you as they must do towards their Heroes and their Defenders. Soldiers, the thought that I shall see you all in less than half a year assembled round my Palace is • pleasing to my heart, and I feel, before-hand, the - most delightful emotions. We will celebrate the memory of those. who, in these two campaigns, have fallen in the field of honour. The world shall see that we are ready to follow their egample, and, if necessary, to do more than we have done against , those ';rho attack our honour, or suffer themselves to be misled by the gold of the eternal Enemy. of the Continent. " NAPOLEO. " Ey 'order of the Emperor, " Major-Gen. Marshal BEWIItIER." Schothrtmn, 6th of Nivose (Dec.-z 7.)" .The Emperor, at the same time, likvise pub.; lisped the following Pi-damnation : iNHABITAti rs OF yIENX"A, I have signed a Peace With the Emperor of Austria, As lam about to return to my Capital, I must express to you tlie esteem I entertain for you, and the satisfa&ion I have felt at your condua dur , ing the time you were under my laNC , s. I have given you an example which bithert6 has had no parallel in the history of nations :-- 7 Ten thousand men of your National Guards have remained armed, and have guarded your gates . ; yoU'r whole Arsenal has continued in your power ; while I have followed the uncertain fortune of the War. I have trusted to lour honour, your sincerity; your integrity, .and you have justified my confidence. " Inhabitants of Vivna, I know that you consider that. \Vat - which a 'Minister devoted tc a IforCicn Power has kindled on the Contihent.:— Your overeign . is informed of the condud of that 111iniste; he -has in consequence acted entirely ac cording to , the great qualities which ditinguishcd him ; and I hope hereafter happier days will ari.o for you and for the Continent. " Inhabitants of Vienna, I have shewn myself but little among you, not from contempt, or vain pride ; no, but not to diminish the feelings of esteem for that Monarch with whom I was desirous to conclude a steady.. Peace. As lam now about to leave you, receive from me as a present, your Arsenal untouch ed, which, by the laws of war, had become my pro perty ; make use of it for the maintenance of good order. All the evils you have suffered you must ascribe to the calamities inwparable from War, and every kind of indulgence with which my Armies have treated these Countries, to the esteem which :you have deserved.

The Bishop of LINCOLN attended the whole of yesterday at Mr. PITT'S, in Downing -street, with Mr. AnAns, peruing the papers of . his deceaSed friend. the' late evere winds have done considerable mis chief. at Dover. The new works, construEting on the Heights, have been materially injured, and seve ral of the Barrack-rooms pa) tly unroofed. The South Pier has als'o 'sustained some damage, though not so much as might have been 'expeEted. , The stone-jettyto the westward is almost covered with shingle, in many parts three and, four feet deep, thrown up by the' impetuosity of the; surf, which washed, at. times, completely over it. A strong easterly gale will ha required to carry it away again. Not a Vessel,bas been at anchor in the Roads for some weeks past; neither was there a sail to be seen Ott sea fot many days together. The harbour is full of Torbay • fishing ,smacks. A foreign Brig, from Lisbon, lately driven in by stress Of weather, struck ttn the bar as she entered, and unshipped her red . der. - By the assistance, however,- of the hovellers, .she was soon got off again, and stationed in a place of safety. A .part of Sir SIDNEY Smrrn's Pier, im • mediately under the Castle,. hie likewise been washed away by the violence of the waves, and otherwise much hnaged; Mrs. DicittNs, formerly, Well-known in the mu sical woOd as Miss POOLE ) is, it seems, going to re turn to public On Saturday evening hit an alarming fire broke out in the stable, of Mr.. Squire, of Hernhill, Kent, with sacral other buildings, was entirely de stroyed. The tire was occasioned by a candle falling among some straw, whilst the servants were water ing their horses: Tire dwelling-house; bi)rn, and stacks adjoining Caere happily saved-. Mr. PITT 0 - inve b TtloeJGII it seems needless to enter into the par ticulars of a life so well known as that of the illus., ttidus 'Statesman of Whom this Country. has 'so mitt thrtutiately been. deprived, there is a melancholy pleasure in dWelling on the subject, in which we are persuaded our Readers will participate: WILLIAM PITT the ,second son of .th 6 illus trious Earl of CirkviAm, and was born ; as We have already stated, on the 28th of May, 175 e, when his father's glory was at its zenith, and'when, in conse quence of the wisdom of his councils; and the vigour' and promptitude of his decisions, British valour Was triumphant in every part of the globe. On the Ac cessibn of his present MAJESTY, that great States man retired from the situation which he had so honourably 'filled ; and col signing leis two - eldest' sons to the care of others, devoted the whole bf his time to the educatiOn of WILLIAM, on a strong, and, as the result has shewn, a well-founded per suasion, that, to use his own words, ." he,would one day increase the splendour of the narde of.PITT." , Mr. PITT acquired his classical knowledge tinder the care of a private tutor, at Burton ; Pynsent; the seat of his father ; and the Earl took great pleasure in teaching him, while still a youth, to al-gee with logical precision, and to speak with elegance and force. He himself frequently entered into disputa tions,with him, and encotirag - ed him to converse with others upon subjects' far above what could be expected from his years.• In the management, of these arguments his father woulduever cease to press him with ditficultieS ; nor would he permit him to stop,' till the subjea of -contention was completely exhausted. By being inured to this method, the son acquired that quality Which is of the first conse quence in public life—a sufficient degree ofiirrimess and presence of mind, as well as a ready delivery, in which he was wonderfully aided by nature. At between 14 and 15 years of 'age he was placed under the care of a very worthy and enlightened Clergyman, Mr. (now Dr.) \VILSON, and sent to Pembroke College, Cambridge, where he was admit ted under the tuition of Messrs. TURNER and PRET TYMAN (the former now Dr. TURNER, Dean of Nor wich, the latter Bishop of Lincoln). These able men seconded to the utmost of their power the intentions of his father. In Cambridge he became a model to the young Nobility and Fellow Com moners; and it was not doubted, that, if the pri vileges of his rank had not exempted him from the usual exercises for his Bachelors' Degree, he would have been' found among the first competitors for' academical honours. On his admission, according to custom, to his Masters' Degree, the• public orator found it needless to search into genealogy, or even to dwell on the virtues of his father ; for the eyes of the University were fixed on the youth ; the enrap tured Audience assented to every'encomium, and every breast was filled with the liveliest presages of his future greatness. • Mi. PITT was afterwards entered a Student of Lincoln's4nn, and made such a rapid progress in his legal studies, as to be soon called to the bar with every prosped of success. He went once or twice upon the Western Circuit, .and appeared as junior Counsel in several causes. He was, however, des tined to fill a more important station in the. Qovern,- ment of his country than is us Tally o'Jtained through the channel of the law. In the year t7B t he was .returried for the Borough of Appleby. Oh tal , .ing his seat in the House of Commons he joined the Party which had constantly. opposed the MiniSter, Lord NORTH , , and the Ame rican War, and which regarded him with a degree of veneration, recognizing in his person the genius of his illustrious - father revived, and, as it Were, 'act ing in him. To appreciate our departed Minister, as a Politician, is a work of historical investigation ; to form an estk mate of his personal endoWments'; to scan the linea ments, and to describe the characteristics of his great mind, should indeed be the task of those who knew him privately as well as publicly ;. but still, while the moral influence of his genius ii,operating on scniety, and while the soundof hi'scloquence is yet as it were echoing in the publie.,:ear, the name of Mr.. ITT , cannot be mentionea 'without suggesting refieaions on the wonderful peculiarities of the man.. From the earliest expansion of his hopeful' talents, he stood forth, as ordainedby destiny aswell as birth ' right, to fill the station, , and to emulate the talents' of CHATHAM.—If he. WaS not - bora an orator, he was earlier trained to oratory than any Statesman of the age.—ln watching over the bright progress of his studies, and anticipating his future fame, his father was notdeceived by parental partiality. The young eagle looked undazzled, like his sire, fo the blaze of glory and pre-eminence. Even when a boy, his ta lents for declamation were so prompt 'and ambitious, that when Lord CHATHAM one day heard of his tu tor's intention to take him along with 'his elder bro ther to hear the . debates in the House of Lords;' he forbade him, saying to the tutor,, " You may take: the eldest, but I will not allow WILLIAM to go ;. for I am sure that he would rise up and speak, if he heard any thing that did not agree with his opinion." CHATHAM knew the full value of promptitude, copiousness, and energetic declamation, to a Parlia mentary Statesman, as he foresaw his son waS,to be ; and he Qwulded the fine elements of his genius for that purpose. Never .did such materials for the formation of rhetoric fall into the hands of such a teacher. By early pra&ice, gnidance; and encouWgerrient; our Minister, possessing by . nature a, rich faun- fain of intellectual images, vas' taught to arrange, to beautify, to amplify, and swell the order and progress of his thoughts, which were not reluCtantly bfought out in debate, but evolved with a spontane ous promptitude which had an influence . almost like Magic - . The quickest and strongest imaging- tions are sometimes attested in the course of their eloquence, by accidental crossing Of thoughts, and forced into cOnfusioni and hesitation—but the order of Mr. MITT'S ideas seemed for ever to be so marshal- red, that nothiricr brake or cotsfused them. Even when betrayed by the richness of his imagination into parenthesis, involution, et deviation, he never wanted exuberant language=he never lost himself, Or needed to halt for a new. arrangement. The name of BURKE will ever be held in ad:nira tion, and his opinions mult always be received with reverence. It then' with peculiar pleasure that record what may ainiost be C3113:1 w i ing,testhnony 1p favor 4: of thc no'hai i-etently ' - followOd\ that greai. : If," says.

It has been afters and justly, ohScm:i, that the report of a inan's servants is well entitled to at tetition, as affording a good opportunity of eStlrrhit ing the merits . of hiS charaBer: Judging of Mr. - PITT by this Criterion, be was one of the mlidest, l Most indulgent and amiable Men tligt ever lived:--- Hence we find. that in every view of'this exalted man, he 'was as much distinguished' for those quali ties which give the most endearing charm to pri-, vate life, as well as for those sPletKiid talents - which rendered him the admiration of the world, . .

A new species of fraud has been pra&ised for some evenings past, on different tradesmen at 'the West End of the Town. A man of genteel appearance calls at a shop, and orders different articles to be sent to a house, of ,Which .he states himself to be the owner. He also desires the tradespeople to send with thegocidS change of a one, two, or a five pound note. When the porter is hear the house where he is to deliver the goods, the person who ordered then meets . him, and giving him a forged note, takes the change, and sends the Man back in a hurry for' some other articles. This, fraud was pradised the Bunch of Grapes \Vine Vaults, Brewer-street, Golden-Svare and at the Coach • and Horses, Kingstreet'; a Fruiterer's in Bond -street; and seve ral other places.
