l AT IS NO'
The three Notes of the Ministers of

Powers experienced no opposition in , ig
the Deputation of the Empire held yesterday. - M.
de ColloredO, the Sithdelegate of i3ohemia, parti-
cularly declared that he acceded entirely to the pro-
positions made by the Mediating Powers. A great
number of new remonstrances have ken made on
the part of the Ministers of Bavaria, the Order of
Malta, the Prince of Tours and Taxis, and other
Princes, having possessions in Swabia, on the subjed
of the encroachments of the Austrian Baillies and
other public funaionaries, and particularly the se-
questration laid on all the efFefts and revenues of the
Princes and Stwil, within the limits of the distrid of
Swabia, which belong to the House of Austria.
—The strongest of those remonstrances is that
of M. the Count de Goertz, Prussian Minister,
in his quality of Plenipotentiary of the House
of Nassau Orange to the Diet, M. de Goertz
claims, with the greatest energy, the possessions
dependent on the ci•devant Abbey of Wingarten
and its territory ; and has described the proceed-
ings of the Austrian Baillies employed on that
territory in the liveliest terms..
It is believed that the Diet will address represen-
tations to the Court of Vienna, with the view of
putting a stop to these encroachments; and that if
these shall prove ineffeetual, the Minister of the me-
diating lowers will interfere.

BREST, APIIL
Mr. CAlfarelly, the Maritime Prefth at our port,
is arrived at St. Brieux ; he is expeacil every mo-
ment at Brest.—Two couriers extraordinary ha'e
arrived since Thursday,---Sevcral English ships of
war haVe, within these few days, been observed neiiir

• nersslts, APRIL 20.
General Beliard, after having inspeebd the coatt:s
of Dutch Flanders, and issued the necessary orders
for their &fence, returned the day before yesterday
to this city, fiom whence he so out immediately
for Paris.
Three very splendid fetes will be given here to
the First Consul. The first by thy General Council,
in the name of the Department, trill be.-exhibited
in the Park: The second, in the Town-house, in
the name of the Commune ; and the third b'y the
Merchants, in the grand Concert-room. The pre-
parations are nearly all completed. The Perfeet of
the Department has not, however, as yet received
any positive information of the time fixed for the
arrival of the First Consul in Belgium ; it is even
supposed that it may not take place till next month.
. OSTrND, APRIL 2(.
Since the official accounts of the intended visit
of the First Consul to this place, the Mayor has
been aetively employed in giving orders for fitting
the Town-house, and embellishing it with a num-
ber of new ornaments. The Merchants of this
place have had several meetings, with the view of •
deliberating on the measures proper to be talieti,
to receive the Chief Magistrate of the state, in a
manner suited to his 'august- charaaer. The ze:4l.
and eagerness which they display on this occasim),.
attests their attachment and veneration fur thii
great man.
CHEST, APRIL (..?7.
In all the rural roirmunes of this Department
the Mayor and the Mtoicipal Councils have taken
measures for presenting .teethe First Consul and his
Lady, garlands of flowers, offered to them by yoling
men and girls uniformly clothed. The inhabitants
of each Commune, carrying their implements of
husbandry, will escort the carriage of the First Con.
sul and of Madame Bonaparte to the territory of
the neighbouring commune.

upon it to the Grand Judge, and to request him to propose.i
to the Government a meast.re which might conciliate to the .. ,
Republic the subatission of the Frenchmen. settled to foreign
countries, with the continuance of a residence necessary by the i
.
care of their fortunes, and by the itaterts of the eitablishroonts
;
which they have formed :
I have received aii answer conceived in the for. 1
loving tints :
" Citizen Minister.--I took a fit time to submit to the First
Consul, the important qiiestioit !•roposesi in your letter of the
17th of this month. Ife has signified to me the following to
be his intentions upon this head.
I .
" lie does nut understand tire the delay fixed by the Se-
reams Crimiltrtm, of the. Gth Fl real; year 10, ran have effet
against noise natives of France who lesve, at elifrreet period:, i
quitted their country, only to visit foamiest 'Etot routes, for the
purposes of cumniercial t,ieculatione, of the exercise of the
liberal and inechanic arts 9 or of public and private instroctioo.
•
" Ills intentim is, f that: the declarations of all such French- •1: ,
men shall be rec..ived by our Ambassadors aed Diplomatic . i :.
Agents, notwitliaattding the lapse of the time i:ince the 14 ;
• 1
Vendeniaire, tint that they shall recc.ve letters of ainnetty p,
from me, as toott as their declarations eotne into soy hands .
~, " The First Consul alto allows all such Frenchmen to
continue their residence abroad, as lone as may be necessary
for the purposes of their trade, arts, or instruction, on account
of which they left France.
" If they be disposed to continue their residence abroad,
they Olive appear before our Diplomati: Resident, and make
a declaration to that ctfeift, u; on which he will deliver to •
them the necessary permiss:on. The format art of permission t
trust be transtnitted to the Prefect of the Department, where
he who receives it had his last residence, that it may be tncre
known where he now lives, and that he may enjoy in France
all the rights belonging to Frenchmen, to which he it restored ..
by the letters of amnesty, and by the pernaLoson to continue
his residence abroad.
" The First Consul intends to free form the disadvantage
incurred by the delay since the Ist Vendemaire, none but
persons belonging to the classes above specified ; and this act
of clemency and generosity cannot apply to those who forsook St
their country to bear arms arainst her, or what was still worse,
Yto excite foreigo power:, by their intrigues, to take arms
against France. The indifference which those !tenons affeeted
at the first, fer an act of grace so signal, mod which they ought •
to 1e : recciv..4 with the liveliest gratitude, or even their he-
sitation andi a desire to avail themselves of it, renders them
now utterly unworthy." i.
VIENNA, APR IL 17. i 7
•
M. Champagny, the French Ambassador, has
transmitted two notes to the Minister for Foreign 1
Afi:tits. The one ;elates to the ratification of flee 4
COTICIUSUM of this Diet, the other to the island of
Malta.
Letters from Turkey, received here by commer- -
cial houses, state that Mecca, that city so much
revered by Musselmen, has been surprized, and al-
most destroyed, by a body of rebels. This news re.
quires confirmation.
