France alone will interfere, as a mediating power,
to adjust all the affairs of die empire that are not
yet terminated ; and is to propose the necessary re-
gulations. Prussia and Austria will probably, in a
shop time, see with France and among them-
selves, on the :4 .s proper mode of putting an end
to all these miter' i•nties.

HANOVER, OCT. 16.
• A courier from the French Court arrived here
yesterday, and continued his route to Gottenburgh.
It is said, that he bears orders to all the French
Commercial Agents to quit Sweden. This, how-
ever, is not looked upon as a certAin sign of war be-
twist these Powers.

The new Congress, in which His Swedish Ma-
jesty presides, is composed cf the Count of Pert-
'Lieu, Count Chatellarand, and an Almoner. The
A'moner opened the Session with • speech. The
bail in which they meet at Calmar, and the arrange.
ment. of the building, have cost Ilk Swedish Ma.
jecy 500,000 rix dollars. All over Sweden they
sue busy in preparations for fetes. At a rr.e.2ting of
the citizens of Steckohn, it was &tot mined that a

4
geseral altinination and artificial are-works should
be ordered on the occasion of His Majesty's ar-
rival. One of the richest Notables opposed this
species cl eibibition, as resembling what was pass-
ing in France, and beneath the dignity of His
Swedish Majesty to adopt. Moreover the illumina•
tion would raise the !nice of tallow to the injury of
the poor, and it was better to collect the finds des-
tined for this expence, and apply them in " enlarg-
ing the hospital for lunatics, who were encreasing
every day in a frightful manner."

PARIS, OCT. 31.
G-eat consternation was observed this day among
our moneyed men upon the exchange. A report was
circulaud of the failure of several capital houses of
llamburgh, Bremen, Franckfort, arid other mer-
cantile places in Germany. This caused some tem-
porary depression of our funds; it was, however,
soon found out, that the whole was a mere invention
of jobbers, as the banking houses of \Vestheimer at
Munich, and of Lemmle Ephraim Uhlman, at Augs-
burgh, were the only capital houses,which are known
for certain to have stopped payment in Germany,
since the last Mail.
The fallowing interesting anecdote is related of
the late King of Poland in a German Journal:
When the unfortunate King in 1797, after the de-
struetion of his kingdom, went to St. Petersburgh,
at the desire; of Catharine 11. he passed by the
place of residence of the Scavan Kotzebue, and
desired to see this p'polar author, whom he grad-
oody received. He inquired after his last writings,
. ' having, as he sail, read all the former ones. A
person presrat haviot observed, that KotzeSite's
last prodatiou was one, called " The youvrtl Ch:!-
ben nfw r Gov-, ;" the King condescended to say ;
" I hope this, though the youngest, is not the last."
It was about that time reported in the public prints
of Germany, that the Kiag of Poland had, like
Fred-pie the Great, written " Afono:rei le son tents :"
Kotzebue therefore wrot: to His Majelty, and de-
manded the honour and favour of translating the
French manuscripts into German ; upon which he
received in the Geresaa language the following
answer :
SIR, St. Petershurgh, June 13.1797.

The words " Were I ocrapiiel town a
I. Word." seem to indicate, that the king of Poland
has left such Mentrices behind him, and applications
have therefore been made, both by French and
German Litivrati, to his heir and nephew, Piince
Peniat,vski, to obtain copies for publication. This
work will throw a great light upon those intrigues
and plots which preceded the extinaian of the Pales
as an i 3depeii.lent nation. Iv is, hiwever, to be ap-
prehended, that as Stanislaus died at St. Petersburgh
during the reign of Paul, all papers, which might
expose the ungenerous Macbiavelism cif his mother,
sad of the Russian Cabinet, have eithtr been se-
creted or destroyed.-- ( Ler .4 • Iles Lrue, /
His Imperial Highness, Prince Joseph, yesterday
. left his seat at Morfontain, and set out far the camps
at the coast ; he has been followed by all the officers
. belonging t, the troops there, who have been here
oil leave of absence. These unespettled departures
have caused several rumours, that the expedition
against England will be undertakes before the Em-
peroes Coronation. It is even said, that His Ma-
jesty in person will join and herd his troops, or at
least be present at their embarkation and departure,
to inspire them with that hope of a certainty of suc-
cess, which ha: hitherto, and always must continue
to be, the consequences of those well:digested plans,
prepared by the genies, and executed by the valaur.

It has been rumoured for some days past that a

malignant fever has caused great mortality at Bay-
s/we, Perpignan, and in several other places on the
• Spanish frontiets. We are, however, able to state,

that no account of this event lin been received by

Government ; on the ccutrary, the last letters men-
tine, that the inhabitants of this put of the French
trogire are unusually healthy, and suffer this year
much less, even from the usual airumnal fevers,
than for these twenty yearl past. IVith his usual

paternal care, the Emperor, five wecits ago, ordered
military piefrets to be stationed all along the Span-
ish frontiers, where regalar quarantine houses are
established for all travellers, so that no person can
enter Frsnce, whose state cf Lealdi is am previ,..ady
ascertained.—(l/.)
