PARIS, Aug. 24.
MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS. Report made to the First Consul, in Senate, by the Minister for Foreign Affairs. Sitting of Saturday, 3d Fructidor, (August 25.)
The treaty of Luneville had operated the absolute re-establishment of peace between France and Germany. It had regulated in an express and definitive manner, the general reports between these two countries, and France being in every point satisfied, the entire execution of the treaty would not have required any ulterior regulations if it had not been acknowledged to be just, and been formally stipulated, that the cession consented to by the empire for the advantage of the Republic, should be supported collectively by the Germanic Federation, admitting, however, the distinction of hereditary lay Princes, and of usufructuary Ecclesiastics.
This principle once laid down, it appeared to belong to the Germanic Body to employ itself upon the application of it spontaneously and without delay.
The sincere wish of the French Government, solely applied to the affairs of the interior, was to be considered as nothing in the regulation of the promised indemnities and they restricted their influence to the making known frequently how desirous they were of seeing the treaty of Luneville carried into complete execution by the execution of the 7th article. But their representations were ineffectual, and more than a year elapsed without their being able to perceive that the least thing had been done towards the distribution of the indemnities.
This in execution of one of the capital stipulations of the treaty of Luneville, left all Germany in a state of uncertainty, which became daily more embarrassing, because pretensions and intrigues arose, and became stronger in proportion as the indecision in the affair, and in the public mind became greater. The species of dissolution in which the Germanic Body was, delayed to all Europe the advantages of peace, and might in some respect comprise the general tranquility. The government of the Republic was not single in the belief of this danger, and while it received from every quarter representations from the parties interested in the distribution of the indemnities, the Court of Russia testified how urgent it appeared to it that the affairs of Germany should be regulated. The Emperor Alexander, at his accession to the throne, felt the noble desire of contributing to the maintenance of the peace re-established; and an intimate concert, a frank and complete association of the most generous views being quickly formed between the First Consul and the Emperor, it was acknowledged by them that the pacification of the continent could not be solidly guaranteed until the treaty of Luneville should have received its complete execution; and that that execution could not be procured but by the initiation and influence of two powers perfectly disinterested, whose preponderating mediation would remove all the obstacles that had arisen for 18 months to the definitive distribution of the indemnities.
It was then solely to seal the pacification of Europe, and to guarantee the stability of it, that the First Consul and His Majesty the Emperor of Russia determined, by common consent, to interfere in the affairs of Germany, in order to effect, by their mediation, what had been vainly expected from the internal deliberations of the Germanic Body.
The first point being agreed upon, a discussion was opened and followed between the two Cabinets, for the examination of the ways and means that might lead to the desired result. It was decreed that a general plan of indemnity should be presented to the Diet, and it was in the drawing up of this plan that the most scrupulous care was taken on both sides, to compensate all losses, to satisfy all interests, and to reconcile the demands of justice with the dictates of policy.
It was not, in fact, sufficient to determine rigorously the value of the losses sustained, and to proportion the compensation to them; the effects of the war having changed the internal balance of Germany, it was necessary to direct the attention to the re-establishment of it. The introduction of new Princes into the Germanic
system required new combinations. The real value of the indemnities were not merely to result from their extent, but frequently from their position and the advantages which the concentration of their old and new domains might give to some powers, were themselves an important consideration worthy of being attended to.
The two Governments then applied themselves to the examining, with a scrupulous care, the question of indemnities in all its relations. They felt that if policy required the complete satisfaction of the principal houses, it was not less strictly just to procure for the states of the 2d and 3d order an indemnification for their losses and the First Consul was particularly anxious to maintain those rights which might have found less support among the interested.
A perfect concert, which had been established between France and Russia, the fortunate result of the direct relations which the First Consul had maintained with the Emperor of Russia, having reigned over every discussion, the parties were soon agreed upon all the points, and a general plan of indemnity determined upon at Paris between the respective plenipotentiaries, received the approbation of the First Consul and the Emperor.
It was agreed that this plan should be presented to the Diet of the Empire, in the form of a declaration, which should be made by Extraordinary Ministers named for that purpose. On the part of the First Consul, it is the Citizen Laforest, Minister of the Republic to the Elector of Palatine of Bavaria, who has received orders to repair to Ratisbon; on the part of the Emperor of Russia, it is Baron de Buhler, his Minister at Munich.
The declaration was to be presented some days ago, and the reading of it ordered by the First Consul in Senate will make known the principles that have actuated the two governments, and the care which they have taken in directing the application of them.
In fact, if we examine the plan proposed, we shall see, that in the execution of a system, which has for its principal object the consolidation of the peace of Europe, the attention has been particularly directed to the diminishing of the chances of war. It is on this account, that care has been taken to avoid all contact of territory between the two powers that have the most frequently dyed Europe with blood by their quarrels, and which, sincerely reconciled, cannot have at present a stronger desire than to remove all occasions of misunderstanding which grow out of neighborhood, and which, between these rival states, are never without danger.
The same principle adopted, not in its full rigour, but as far as circumstances permitted, has decided the placing of the indemnities of Prussia beyond contact with France and Bavaria.
From this arrangement, Austria will have drawn the immense advantage of seeing all her possessions concentrated.
The Palatine House, will have also received a stronger and more advantageous organization for its defence.
And Prussia will continue to form in the Germanic system the essential bias of a necessary counterpoise.
The regulation of the secondary indemnities has also been proposed, according to general and particular expediency, and nothing has been neglected to establish them in a just proportion to the losses recognized. It may, however, appear that the House of Baden has received more advantage than the others; but it has been deemed necessary to fortify the Circle of Suabia which is between France and the Great German States; and the First Consul was pleased that, in this circumstance, policy was in perfect unison with the disposition of the French government, who could not but see with pleasure an increase of power granted to a Prince, whose virtues had long obtained the esteem of Europe, whose alliance had so honorably distinguished his family, and whose conduct, during the whole course of the war, had particularly deserved the good will of the republic.
It is thus with real satisfaction, that France and Russia, obliged to adopt securitisation as the basis of the indemnities, have recognized the possibility of preserving in the empire an ecclesiastical Elector, and that they have proposed to assign him a suitable situation, by leaving him the title and functions of Arch Chancellor.
Some general consideration may still be presented to the Diet, to serve as a foundation to the interior regulations which the new organization of the Germanic
Body shall require; and the First Consul and the Emperor of Russia may undoubtedly arrogate to themselves that, solely animated with the desire of consolidating peace in Europe, and not influenced by any personal interest, they have neglected nothing on their part to present to the Diet of the Empire such a plan of indemnity, that it appears to them impossible to draw up one whose bases and developments should be more conformable to the spirit and letter of the treaty of Luneville, more analogous to the political state of Europe, and more favorable to the maintenance of peace.
The two governments of France and Russia are persuaded that the time which they have settled will be sufficient for the decision of the Germanic interests, and that they will find, in the long prosperity that Germany will derive from the plan, a sweet and honorable recompence for the efforts they have made to procure it.

DECLARATION.
The First Consul of the French Republic, animated with the desire of contributing to the consolidation of the repose and tranquility of the German Empire, has thought that no means were more calculated to obtain that effect of his solicitude, than those of fixing by a plan of indemnity, adapted, as far as circumstances would permit, to the respective interests, an arrangement proper to produce this salutary effect; and a concurrence of views having been established upon this subject between the First Consul of the Republic and his Imperial Majesty of all the Russias, he has authorised the Minister of Foreign Affairs to concert with the Minister Plenipotentiary of his Imperial Majesty of Russia, the means best calculated to apply the principles adopted for these indemnities, to the different demands of the parties interested. The result of this work having obtained his approbation, he has ordered the undersigned to make it known to the Diet of the Empire by the present Declaration; a measure to which the First Consul of the Republic, as well as his Imperial Majesty, have been impelled by the following considerations:
The 7th article of the treaty of Luneville, having stipulated that the hereditary princes, whose possessions are comprised in the cession made to the French Republic of the countries situated on the left bank of the Rhine, should be indemnified, it has been agreed that conformably to what had been decided at the congress of Rastadt, this indemnity should be effected by means of secularizations; but though perfectly agreed upon the basis of the indemnity, the states interested have remained so opposite in views with respect to the distribution, that it has hitherto appeared to be impossible to proceed to the execution of the before-mentioned article of the treaty of Luneville.
And though the Diet of the Empire has named a special Commission to direct its attention to this important business, we see by the delays which its assembling meets with, what obstacles the opposition of interests and the jealousy of pretensions place to the making the regulation of the indemnities the spontaneous act of the Germanic body.
It is this that has induced the First Consul and the Emperor of Russia to think that it became two powers perfectly disinterested to afford their mediation, and to offer the deliberations of the Imperial Diet a general plan of indemnity, drawn up from the calculations of the greatest impartiality, and in which the attention has been directed both to compensate the losses recognised, and to preserve between the principal houses in Germany the balance that subsisted before the war.
In consequence, after having examined with the most scrupulous care, all the memorials, both upon the value of the losses, and upon the demand of indemnities presented by the parties interested, it has been agreed to propose, that the indemnities shall be distributed in the following manner:
To the Archduke, Grand Duke.—For Tuscany and its dependencies, the Archbishoprick of Saltzburgh, the Provostship of Bertolsgaden, the Bishopric of Trent, the Bishopric of Brixen, the part of the Bishopric of Passau, situated beyond the Iltz, and the Inn on the side of Austria, except the suburbs of Passau, with a radius of 500 toises; the Abbeys, Chapters and Convents situated in the abovementioned dioceses.

They propose, in consequence, that the Arch Chancellor of the Empire should be transferred to the see of Ratisbon, with the Abbeys of Saint Emeran, Ober Mun-ster, and Heider Munster, keeping of his old possessions the Grand Bailiwick of Aschaffenburg, on the right of the Mayn and that there should be united to it, be-sides a sufficient number of mediate Ab-bbeys, so as to make up to him with said lands, an annual revenue of a million flo-rins.
And as the best means to consolidate the Germanic Body is to place in the first col-lege the Princes of the greatest influence of the Empire, it is proposed that the elec-toral title should be granted to the Mar-grave of Baden, to the Duke of Wirtem-berg, and to the Landgrave of Hesse Cas-sel.
Moreover, as the King of England, in his quality of Elector of Hanover, has raised pretensions to Hildesheim, Corway, and Hoexter, and would be of interest that he should desist from his pretensions, it is proposed that the Bishopric of Osna-burgh, which now belongs alternately to the Electoral House of Brunswick, should devolve to him in perpetuity upon the fol-lowing conditions:
First, That the King of England, elec-tor of Hanover, shall renounce all the rights and pretensions to Hildesheim, Cor-way, and Hoexter.
Secondly, That he shall likewise give up to the cities of Hamburg, Bremen, the rights and properties which he exercises and possesses in the said cities, and within the extent of their territory.
Thirdly, That he shall cede the baili-wick of Wildeshausen to the Duke of Old-enbourg, and his rights to the eventual succession of the county of Sayn Alten-kirchen to the Prince of Nassau Uslin-gen.
In consideration of the cession of the Bailiwick of Wildeshausen, to the Duke of Oldenbourg, and the secularisation that shall be made for his advantage of the Bishopric, and of the grand chapter of Lubeck, the toll of Elssfeet shall be sup-pressed, and shall not be re-established un-der any pretence whatever, and the rights and properties of the said bishopric and chapter in the city of Lubeck shall be united to the domain of the said city.
The propositions made by the undersig-ned with respect to the regulation of indem-nities, lead him to state here several ge-neral considerations which he thinks ought to fix the attention of the Diet. The principal are, that the Princes of Nassau-Uingen, Nassau Weilbourg, Salm Salm, Salm Kerbourg, Linange, Arenberg, shall be introduced into the College of Cities should be composed of the free and imperial cities of Lubeck, Hamburg, Bre-men, Wetzlar, Frankfort, Nuremberg, Augsburg, and Ratisbon.

FRANKFORT, September 22. Extract of a letter to the Editor, dated St. Vincennes, 10th September, 1802— evening.
"The council with the Indians was opened this morning. The chiefs and many of the warriors of the Miami, Sauk, Wea, Pian, Kaskaskia, Patawatamie, Kickapoo, Kaskaskias and Eel-River nations, have come in, accompanied by about five hundred young men, women and children. They are I believe, well disposed, and highly gratified with the attention paid them since their arrival. The views of government towards them are truly mag-nanimous. It is ardently wished to ame-liorate their savage, barbarous state, and place them in the ease and enjoyment of civilized life.
"The Indians have been grossly im-posed upon with regard to the United States. In a drunken frantic fit, they view us as old women—in their cooler reflective moments, as plotting their de-struction. Those settled on the Wabash and White rivers, have, since the estab-lishment of a government here, been prin-cipally under the influence of the Inten-dant of Indians affairs; but those on the Mississippi, Ouiniconfin and Illinois ri-vers, and the lakes, have been, and are still completely under the control of Bri-tish agents. That treacherous hypocriti-cal nation has now its engines spreading delusions throughout the western coun-try. The most active measures have been taken to frustrate the assembling of the In-dians; persuasions and presents have been disseminated with the most vigilant industry and some have been taught to believe they were only invited here to be inhumanly butchered. The noted M'Kee, shaved, painted &c. &c. has recently had a war-dance with the Indians that live within our territory, a thing unprecedented in time of peace. The Indians towards the Mississippi and the lakes, visit him annu-ally, are loaded back with presents, &c. and call him the best of men—and I will venture to predict, that if the prayers of old England prevail, the knife and the tomahawk will ere long evince to us the energies of "secret service money."
"However, I am in hopes a favorable change will be effected, several circumstan-ces which have occurred within a few days, have made very favorable impres-sions on the minds of the Indians. The negotiations so far, exhibit a pleasing pro-pect, and there is no doubt but all the ob-jects for which the meeting has been call-ed, will be fully obtained."

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 13.
From Poulson's American Daily Adver-tiser.
The Editor was, on Saturday evening favored with a letter from a respectable Correspondent, of which the following is an extract:
"Supposing that early intelligence of the result of the Delaware Election would be acceptable to you, I communicate what I believe to be authentic.—Mr. RODNEY is elected by a majority of fif-teen.
"I regret, as a citizen of Delaware, that its inhabitants should be deprived of the services of JAMES A. BAYARD, con-fessedly one among the greatest men in the councils of our country.—I regret it the more because it has been effected by our newly acquired citizens—one hundred and thirty of whom were naturalized in Wilmington, and almost to a man in favor of Rodney. It must indeed be a bad cause that requires importation to support it."

A PROPOSAL BY SAMUEL BISHOP,
For publishing by Subscription,
LETTERS
ON THE
Elementary Principles
OF
EDUCATION.
By Elizabeth Hamilton,
Author of the "Memoirs of Modern Philosophers," &c.
ON this interesting and highly important branch of science, several valuable works have, within a few years, been presented to the public, among which the above, as it is the most recent, so is it pre-eminently useful. Led by her subject into an inquiry concerning the nature of the active powers, and intellectual faculties, of the human mind, Mrs. Hamilton has developed those powers and faculties with a perspicuity and ability which, while it arrests the attention of those who have most successfully studied those subjects, must render a competent knowledge of them familiar to the most ordinary capacity. The superficialness and frivolity of character engendered by the modern system of education, have been long, and justly, a subject of complaint; but the particular causes by which these serious evils have been produced, were hitherto but imperfectly known, or little attended to: To trace these evils to their source, and to point out the proper remedy, is the ultimate object to which the meritorious efforts of this Author have been directed; and in these efforts she has, it is believed, succeeded beyond the most sanguine expectations. Such indeed, is the importance of the inquiries which form the subject of this work, and so great the success with which these inquiries have been pursued, that the happiest consequences to society may reasonably be expected to result from the present publication. To all it is interesting in a very high degree, but to mothers of families, and others engaged in the formation of the minds of children and youth, it will prove an acquisition truly invaluable.
The rapid sale of two impressions of this work in England, sufficiently evinces the high estimation in which it is there held: An American edition—equal to, and at little more than half the price of the British edition*—is now offered to the patronage of the American public; by whom its merits will, doubtless, be justly appreciated.
[An Extract from the above Work.]
"From most of the writers on education it would appear, that it is only to people of rank and fortune that education is a matter of any importance. By such alone can the systems that are generally propogated, be adopted. To such, therefore, must we believe them to be exclusively addressed. To make fine ladies and finished gentlemen forms no part of my plan, which has for its object the formation of the passions, the direction of the affections, and the cultivation of the faculties that are common to the whole human race."
* The price of the British edition, is fifteen shillings, Sterling, in boards.
CONDITIONS.
I. The Work shall be comprised in two Duodecimo volumes, of about 450 pages each, & shall be printed in the best manner, on a fine Paper, and new Type.
II. The price will be one Dollar per volume in boards, payable on delivery.
** A very considerable number of Copies being already subscribed for, the work shall be put to Press, and finished without delay.

This land is well suited to wheat, being flat river land, extending upwards of three miles on the water, and has several good Fisheries on it. The convenience of this situation to Alexandria, the City and George-Town, with the convenience of water-carriage, must make it desirable to Farmers. There is on it a small Dwelling-House, a commodious brick Barn, and excellent Stables and out Houses. Any person wishing to rent, will be shown the Premises by application to G. Rollings, living thereon, and may know the terms by application to Colonel Deneale, at his office in Alexandria, with whom a plat of the Land is left, or to the Subscriber.
