DIET OF KATISBON, DEC. 8.
Previous, co the opening of the Pro
tocol, for coNeding the tuffragci on
the pacificatory proportion of the
Elector of Mentz, the ImpetUl Min
ister rectived from the Aulic Chance-/
ry of the Empire at Vienna prelimin
ary inflfuQiont on this important ob
jel The following a the fubflance
of them :
" The Imperial Minister is com
maoded to make known to the di
rectorial minister of Mentz, at well as
to all the other ministers of the Prin
ces and German States, assembled in
Diet, that his Majesty as Emperor,
will not oppose the present delibera
tions of the Diet upon the pacificato
ry proportion of the Eledor of Mentz,
Becaute bis Majeft, is as defirm of
Peace, as any other of the co-estates ;
that nevertheless as a member of the
Germanic body, he fears that he (hall
not be in a condition, at the colledion
of the fuffrages, to declare himfelf
within the ftta period fixed by the
Diet for that purpose, that he Ihall
perhaps be obliged to refqve to him
felf the period of fix weeks, the ofual
period in all other cases, because he
cannot yet a(certain io ttbat maaaer
and tab wbra negotiations can be
opened in the name of the Empire,
with the certainty or the hope of suc
ceeding io the re-efablilhment of
Peace, unless (as the propofirion af
fords reafoo to fufped) the Eleftor of
Mentz can give some information on
this fubjed. That moreover, and a
bove all things, hi, Imperial Majesty
is bound do crajiu bis allies, particular.
1, She Kings of Praffia ami Greatbritaia,
because from the commencement of
the War to the present period, they
had so powerfully assisted in the de
fence of the Empire and had made
so many facrifices. His Majesty, far#
ther cannot doubt, that in an affair of
such high importance, the German
corps will also consult those powers.
At any rate, as a coeftate, he will
allow a free course to affairs, in the
hope that at the conclusion of the de
liberations of the Empire, negoch
tions for Peace will not be proposed
to him alone.'?
On the sth inst. the fuffrages were
collected in the three Colleges of the
Empire. The fuffrage of Palatine-
Bavaria was the most ample and the
}moft favorable to an immediate peace.
The most unfavorabtefuffrage was
that of the Elector of Hanover. The
majority of the Diet, however, acced
ed to the proposals of the Elector of
Mentz— 57 voted for peace ;10 pro
posed the mediation of Sweden and
Denmark ; 36 that of the King of
Prussia ; and thirty did not vote.

His Britannic Majefty'# Confol
General for the Middle and Southern
States of America, hereby gives pub
lic notice to the Merchants, Traders
and others, whom it may concern,
that he has received official Commu
nications, that the islands of Guade
loupe, Mariegalante and Defeada,
are, by Proclamation issued by his
Majesty's Gederal and Vice-Admiral,
commanding in the Weft-Indies, "de
clared to 1 be in an actual State of
Blockade. And all neutral nations
and their fubjeds are, thereby en
joined apd prohibited from attempt
ing to enter inf of the Ports, of the
said islands, with- provisions or sup
plies of any nature or kind ,whatsoev
er ; and ait neutral Ships or veffeli,
together with such Cargoes, founds
attempting to enter any, or either of
such blockaded or invested islands.
Will be dealt with conformably to ex
isting treaties, and as warranted by
the established Laws of nations."
The Britifli admimftration appear
In their late measures absolutely be
fide themselves. Mr. Pitt persists in
repelling every idea of negociation
with an obstinacy surely not juftified
by policy; If the British should at
the present time make overtures for
peace it is not to be foppofed that
the viaorioua French would hold out
such terms as England could accept ;
but the attempt would unite English
men: heart and hand in defence of
their isle; At present they appear
divided, and the downfall of their
Minister is the only event that can
give them a chance of escaping im
pending deftfudioo.
