THE SEE VACANT.

"GEMTL►MEN—DeepIy affected with the new proof of
mercy which God has bestowed on us in bringing us back
to our dominions; profoundly afflicted by the excesses com-
mitted against our holy religion during the Revolution, and
by the calamities which they have drawn upon our kingdom,
my first duly and the first wis.b of my heart is, to express
our gratitude to him foe his hraefiis, by atoning as much
as possible for the outrages offered to him, and by imploring
him to be pleased to pour his blessings on us and on our
people.

" 1 reset that circumstances have not permitted us to do
it earlier : in consequenee, my intention is, that you order
solemn and expiatory prayers. ‘Vheretimm, 1 pray God,
'Messieurs Vicar:-Gencral to linve you in his holy keeping.

GERMAN PAPERS.

COPENHAGEN, AUG. ,22.

The accounts which ae receive from the Barbary
coast are in the highest degree unpleasant. Na
Government can defend itself any longer against
the shameless perfidy of the piratical States, which
employ every stratagem to gratify their cupidity.
We bad the ►ess reason to expect the detention of
our ships, as the new Consul, Hartman, was sent
but very lately to Tripoli, to take the place of the
Consul Nlthluke, and had been recognised by the
Government there, in consideraf of a consideia-
ble sum of ley. The stun to be paid annually
has been always regularly delivered, and negotia-
tions fur u new armistice had ctunmenced.

The Dry, in the most artful manner, delayed
this, and secretly sent out his cruisers, the return
of whirl, he waited for in order suddenly to ad-
vanee the most absurd and exaggerated pretensions.
The English and the American Consuls have
made very lively remonstrances, and it is to he
hoped that an amicable arrangement will he brought
about.

Notwithstanding the interference of the Grand

ception the Danish flag meets with in the 11:ledi-

IfAtADURGH, AUG. 20.

A Commissioner is come from our Contingent,.
now in the enemy's country, to, ask from our city
an increase of pay, without the soldiers must
suffer hunger and want. This not very agreeable
message has certainly astonished as, us we but too
well remember hew we were compelled, far 'years to-
gether, trot only to maintain the French, but to enable
them to revel in superfluity, while our people now
suffer want in the richand fertile country of France.
Instead of taking back the motley, of which we
have been violently rubbed, we are to send more.
This is really not very'pleasant, and let so it is!
The Hanseatic .troops are under the •comuland
of the Duke of Wellington, who has fo‘bidden,
under pain -of death, to--ask any thing of the
inhabitants of Franee .except lodging. and can.
dle, because the soldiere.get their ratiosa front th.
magazines. But those_whoittiow how meagre these
rations are, rind. in what condition the}' afire 4eue;:
rally, will not wonder that the soldier, after long
and fatiguing marches, does not find thein suffi
cient ; trot •to mention. how disagreeable it must
be to him, when he comes home to his quarters after
a liard.day'a labour, to be oblige,) to (took Ilia; vie-
trials instead of resting himself. It must be allow-
ed that the. Fritielr:nrielerstood Ilits better. The
English soldier, Who; besides lon rations, re-
ceives a shilling a 'day for his pity, can buy what
he wants ; but our soldiers have only four-pence a
day, for which they cannot purchase much provi-
sions. If the French had been as enemies in Eng-
land, only .!•1 hours, the English would likewise
know front experience, their mode of acting, amid
would not now treat them with so much tenderness.
The Prussians are much better off. The soldier
has as much as he can
.wish, and that is necessary
if he is to fight bravely. Travellers who come from
Paris affirm that in all the houses. where Prussians
arc quartered the people supply Otero with 'Very
thing in abundance, whereas they :Will not give the
English, because they dare not demand any thing,
even a glass of water, without being paid for it.
That is like the.French,:who are very backward in
• giving when hdt corngelled to it.

The Gazette Officiel.le:lot thti ••istft. wh eli we,,
received with the other Paris`. Papera-
contains a Royal Proclamation, addresse.d.•to the
inhabitauts of the South of France, lainenting in
strong terms the dreadful outrsges,Pommittad

vengeance of the laws against the perpetratorit. AtC
Address of a similar tendency was Judea' from
Nismes, by the Maiquis JOUQUES to
the inhabitauts.of his -Prefecture, and both artfully
insinuate that these excesses originated in an extra-
vagance of loyalty too ardent to await the slow pro-
cess of legal justice. The latter, however, is more
explicit, and states that murders have been com-
mitted in the streets of Nisines by either party ;
and from the extreme anxiety manifested by the
largiiis to discourage every revolutionaq princi-
ple, by picturing the strength of the Bovaaosis,
founded on the infectionof the people, the respect
of foreigners, the support of the Allied Sovereigns,
and the imprisonnitot of NAPOLEON, it would ap-
pear to have been less addressed to the Royalists
than the Jacobins, and intended rather to repress
the hopes of the one,. than to check the exuberant
loyalty of the other. We have had occasion fre-
