with Franca Private infornxation says, however, tha

the French have demanded, in the name of the
States of Hanover, a large loan from the EL:Elor
of Hesse CASSZL, the refusal of which has caused
Bon APASTZ to held such threatening language,
that His Elettoral Highness, as an ally and near re.
lative to the House of Brandenburg, called upon
the King of Pacsst♦ for succours and prougtion
against the republican marauders, and that this was
the object of his late journey to Ber En. The Elec-
tor of Hesse CASSEL is oie of the richest princes in
Germany, and his treasure in gold is regarded
as the greatest in Europe. Only fifteen miles
separate the Republicans at Gottingen from
his capital, Cassel, where this treasure is hoarded
up; and it is therefore not surprising, that, under
the modest name of loan, they desire to fraternise
with his coffers. Hanover is now so entirely ruined
by them, that it must soon be a burden to; the in-
vaders ; if, in the name of the pretended Hano-
verian States, BOY tart is unable to plunder ;he
sun-minding natiot.s by loans, which. without the
saisEtion of the Kiig of ENG'. *sr, are nothing but
re►olutionary requisitions, that cannot be expeled
to be rvaisi. Hamburgh, Bremen, Lubeck, and
Frankfort, gave their share last year; and Denmark,
Meeklenhurgh, Brurt.,wick, Prussia, and Hesse, may
exisca, in their turn, the same demands from
France, as Venice, Tuscany, Genoa, and Switaer-
land. whish were forced to purehas^ a temporary
neutrality that ended in the 100 of their indepen•
deuce as free states. 'the selfish policy of Prussia
suffers besides greatly from these detachments,

A lett,r from Constauthluple says, that cur
troops have occupied the town and forts of
A;ez:.r.dii.t, in Ftypt. As we have a:ready men-

ironed, we have the same right to occupy that pro-
vince, that Franie has to occupy the kingdom of
Naples, Tuscany, and the Papal Territory.
The news from France, by the /lamburgh Mails.
is not of so late a date as that which we have already
laid before the public.

The new Ministerial arrangements are now nearly
completed ; among die few changes that remained
to be made, we understand that the Marquis of
HERTFORD succeeds the Earl of CHEST ART IF 1.0
as Master of the Horse. and that the Earl of
WESTMEATH and Lord Am FICRi.T are removed
from their places as Lords of the Bed Chamber.
Lord fsluLottAve certainly succeeds Lord PELHAM j
but, strange to say, the latter has received no
official intimation of his removal from office.—
The melancholy tidings will be probably com-
municated to his Lordship, in the form observ-
ed by Lord NORTH to Lord LYTTLETON, up-
on a similar occasion. "My Lord, in looking
over the list of His MAJESTY'S servants, I find your
name. is omitted." The place of CHANCELLOR of
the EXCHEQUER ;or Ireland has been offered to Mi.
FOSTER, but has not been yet accepted by this
Gentleman. Mr. FOSTER, as ci-d. vast Sivaker 411
the House of Commons of Ireland, enjoys a com-
pensation for the loss of that situation, which would
be deduced from the emoluments of any office
which he may fill. The office of CHANCELLOR of
the EXCHEQUra, as it would add nothing to his in-
come,has no lucrative temptations about it,and there-
fore it has been proposed to make him a Lord of the
'treasury also, in the room of the Earl of SHAN.
NOM. For this purpose, his Lordship's resignation
has been requested ; but his assent has not been yet
received. Mr. Fusrs a's support would Le dearly
purchased. by offending the Earl of SHANNON, and
therefore the resignation of the latter will no doubt
be upon terms.

We have received Dutch Papers to the 17th,
from which we have made some eat ads.

A letter from Carracoa, dated March 14, states
that the British troops were re-embarked on the
night of the tsth rebruary, and left the Island on
the 27th (excepting the Blahche frigate, left cruising
off the east end), having previously demolished the
fort which they occupied. They had also destroyed
a considerable part of the town.

A St. Vincent paper of th* 24th March states,
that the fleet which sailed from Cork, on the 4th of
February, had fallen in with the Lindiat Beat

windward of B.uhadoes, and had arrived together,
to the number of 280 sail, in Carlisle Bay. One of
the Cork ships having separated from t!-c convoy,
had arrived in Kingston ; otherbhad arrived at De-
mararas Trinidad, &c.

Flushing squadron, stating that the Rettirr, Cap-

which he succeed-d in driving some of them on
shore : the Assedute, with the Amelia and another
frigate, were lying at anchor in the Sheonveldt.—
The Cr:treat on Friday sailed from the Downs to

Thirty-sever. ships of the unfortunate West India
