FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FROM TIM HAMRURGII

PARIS. jtwt 19
The Dutch Direttors, Brantsen and Bickar, and
the Secretary of State, Vauder Goes, are Members
of the Deputation sent from Holland to ct,mpliment
the Emperor.
It is said that Moteau will be appointed an Impe-
rial Field Marshal, and Governor of toe Isle de
France. His sentence was first two years im-
prisonment, which the Emperor changed into two
years millet-tit Lis estate Grosbois.
Is the letters which Bonaparte has addressed to
the stiffetsen Continental Sovereigns, be calls them
My Cessim !

The rewstprivateer from Nantes, has taken and
carried into that port an English Jamaicamaa, of
3SO tons, laden with colonial produdions.
Net only General Le Courbe, but General Mac-
donald, has been exiled by the Emperor, for their
imprudent eonduift during Moreau's trial.
As a great want of money is severely felt at
Lyons, the Emperor, to prevent the silk trade
daring the approaching fair of Baucaite, from suffer.
ing, has ordered the Minister of his Treasury
to write to the Dirodors of the Bank of
France not to demand their payments in cash,
for bills discounted by the merchants at Lyons, at
least for four months to come.
General Marcoff, the brother to the late ambas-
sador, has left France, where he went for the benefit
of his health.

A new frigate, called Le Preident, of 42 guns,
has been lately launched.
It is the Prussian Prince, Lieutenant-General
Hatzfeld, who is ordered as ambassador extraor-
dinary to compliment our Emperor on his elevation.
The English are equipping numbers of Dutch
se/suits as gunboats, and building others with flat-
bottomed boats. The late engagement has con-
♦inced them of the utility of this small craft ; hut,

before they can finish theirs, oars shall prove to
them that they have begun one year too late to ful-
low the examples of their masters in building armed
vessels, as well as in commanding armed Volunteers.
Motesu remains still shut up in the Temple, but
is treated with less severity. He is permitted to see
his wife and child, in the presence of the gent d'a,mes,
for two hours every day.
Citizen Ingrand has found out, that the words
Niloloon Remlaporte, Pr,•nuer C0,i401, make an ma-
gram : Porte lieu Is CONTORIII brryperusle.
The Emperor is daily expeded at Arras, to review
the corps d'Elite of grenadiers encamped there, and
commanded by General Junot. The inhabitants
areerefting triumphal arches for his reception.
The city of Tours has determined to give every
day. corresponding with that of the Emperor's coro-
, nation. 8001. is dowry to some virtuous maid.

The Helvetian Minister, Maillardotz, and the
Satavian Minister, Schimmelpenninck, have in-
formed Talleyrand, that they have received new
credentials from their Governments, as A TbASSi.
. odors to his Majesty Napoleon, Emperor of the
French.
The portraits of the 47 Conspirators are now
publicly exposed for sale, and purchased with great
avidity.

During Moreau's trial, several military persons of
Sigh rank stood around him, and spoke to him ;
among others, General Lecourbe, who has been or-
dered to leave Paris immediately, and to reside on
Isis estate in ci &veal Franche-Comte.
It is reported, that England intends to blockade
Use Terel.

Dommaget, the official defender of George, de-
fied the Public Accuser to prove even the shadow of
a conspiracy against Bonapa.rte's life. He paid, one
man is sufficient to kill one man, but forty-seven
persoiss are unable to change or destroy the Govern.
tornt of a nation of thirty millioas. You have ex-
aminrd (continued Dommaget) t ssi witnesses.—
L Most of them have never known the accused ; the

others speak from hear-say, and report rumours.
Four only pretend that a conspiracy was known to
them to exist ; but they acknowledge, at the same
time, that Government has paid them handsomely
to come forward, and inculpate the accused. In the
former case they are accomplices—in the latter, pur-
chased spies; it is against the laws of civilised nations
to condemn, upon the testimony, nay, even to take the
oaths of persons corrupted, immoral, and interested
in the issue of a civil, much more so, of a criminal
affair." Dommaget finished his defence of George,
with these words " Let us remember the horrible
consequences of civil wars, and that men who have
figured in them may be defeated and forced to sub-
mit; but that clemency alone can make them and
their followers remain quiet, under a government
they hate. Death can never restore quiet and con-
tent to the western department, without killing r,s
maw, so contrary to the humanity of the Emperor,
whose interest it is, besides, not to depopulate Lis
dominions. Clemency alone can effeet what death
is unable to do. Cz3ar would not pardun Eigarius.
Cicero undertook his defence, and Cesar ac know_
ledged himself vanquished by the orator. I (said
Dommaget) have not the talents of this great man.
May I, however, be, on this occasion, crowned with
his success!" George added to this defence, that he
did not wish to live ; but that, for the honour of
France and humanity, he desired and prayed that
Bonaparte would be satisfied with his death, and
not stain France with the blood of the other innocent
men, accused with him.

At the beginning of last week, eight of the persons
condemned to death were transferred to the Bicetre.
Out of the twelve who were imprisoned in the Con-
c.ergurie, eight have obtained their pardon through
the cieittency of kos Maj.:sty. Those persons were
transferred to the Temple on Friday evening. The
four others, Gecrge, Lemercier, Lelan, and Cadu-
dal, were conveyed the same day to the Bicetre.
it is reported, that those who already have been,
or may be pardoned, will be set at liberty on the
lath of July.
Mr. Livingstone, the American Minister, is re-
turned from London with Mr. Waddel, who ac-
companied him. The objea of their journey to that
country remains a secret.

ST. PETESSIBUROH, JUNE 5.

The arsniversary of the birth of the Grand Duke
Constantine, on the 21 inst. was celebrated in the
Tanride Palace, with a dinner, at which the Empe-
ror and Empress were present. On the next day
the Grand Duke, at the head of the Horse Guards,
left this capital, to be present at the usual camp, six
miles west from here, which is to continue fur six
weeks.

General Suchtelcn has laid before the Emperor a
new plan for extending and fortifying the port and
harbour of Revel, according to which, it will be
the first Russian sea-port in the Baltic, and will be
capable of containing the whole Russian fleet. Tlie
Emperor has approved of it, and ordered four mil-
lions of roubles to carry it into effea.

The French Minister, La low, has received,
from our Court, a very midst-al:tory answer upon
the note, which he I.ttely delivered, respeaing Bo-
naparte's new dignity.
The 29th ult. our Sovereign returned uncrpetedly
and alone from his journey to Livonia. His Ma-
jesty's suite anived on the Wednesday
ANTWERP, It NT 14.

They write (rum Ostend, that besides the imperial
guard already arrived there, another part is daily
expeded from Paris. This seems to confirm the
report that the Emperor will soon join the army.
The report of General Moreau not being con-
demned to death, has caused the greatest rejoicings
among the troops encamped along the coast. Even
the Generals and Officers joined the men. I: is,
however, not yet true that these Generals have been
recalled to Paris.

ROITERDAU, Jt'•:E 23.

We have just received information from the
Hague, of the death of the Prince of Orange : at
least, the report of his death is generally believed
there. Ile is said to have died of a pituitous corn-
plaint.
The subjugation and humiliation of this country
to the entire controul of the French are complete.
We dare not even mention the name Bonapaste
now—no appellation but the Emperor is allowed.
No instrument is so powerful, either for or against
Government, as the Liberty of the Press, this the
Emperor of the French has long seen, and ailed
accordingly, not only in France, bet in this
country also ; what little we had is now wholly
extinguished ; for the Dutch press is complete-
ly under the management of the French police.—
All the numbers of the Thews, a Weekly Journal,
the last of which contained a few observations on
the French and Dutch Governments, have been
officially demanded of all the Booksellers through-
out the whole Republic, to prevent further circula-
tion. If the parties concerned presumed to stand
their ground, they are certain of a severe punish.

LON DON,
SATURDAY, Jugs 30.

The Session of Parliament begins to exhibit all
the usual symptoms of an approaching close. Both
Houses of Parliament, contest y to custom, s:t this
day, not at the demand of any pleasing meature, but
merely to expedite ordinary business. Sevcr.l Mem-
bers base also left town, and others are pre-
paring to follow. From all these circumstances, it
is generally supposed, that a prorogation will take
place in about three weeks. The rumours late-
ly spread, of its being the intention of the
Minister to introduce some new measures in the
course of the present Session, have, of course, begun
to die away. Indeed no one expects that he will
bring forward, at this advanced period of the Ses-
sion. any subjet that would produce much debate.

Letters from Plymouth,received in town yesterday
morning, state the arrival at that Port of a cutter
with three French loggers, or chasse ?soarers, taken on
their way from Corunn.l to Bayonne, with 160,000
dollars on board, supposed to be part of the Spani.h
subsidy due to France.

The two Ilambnrgh Mails due, arrived yesterday,
with letters and papers to the 2dd. They afr )rd
exaltly the view of continental politics disclosed in
the mail immediately preceding. MOIL U'S pu-
nishment, it is said, has been mitigated into exile
at his country seat near Paris.

Private letters, both from Vienna and Berlin,
say, that Bonaparte's emissaries to these Courts, in in-
forming the Austrian anl Prussian ministers of their
master's new dignity, announced, at the same
time, that any difficulty, or objettion, to ac-
knowledge the Corsican as an Emperor of the
French, would immediately be resented by him,
and regarded by the French nation as a de-
clar.ttion of war. On the other hand, the
Turkish Empire and Hanover were held out as spoil,
which nosy indemr.ify the Emperor of Germany and
King of Prussia, for their courtesy in an affair
eq3ally interesting to Bonaparte, and to the French
people. These letters add, that Bonaparte, in a let-•
ter under his own hand, to Francis 11. has invited
this Sovereign to occupy Belgrade, and with
his troops tcstore tranquillity on the Turkish
frontiers, lest the imuneftion of the Servians
should spread into the Austrian dominions;
and, as Bonaparte has aelh'eg so Pe: Ur h of heart
as a plural and continual pease, should the Ger-
man Emperor And out any nieans to adjust the dif-
ferences subsisting between France and Russia, and
to bring about a pacification between France and
England, the universe would proclaim him :he be-
nefaftor of mankind. In another letter to the Arch.
Duke Charles, Bonaparte has held nearly the same
language.
It is impossible that either the Emperor of Ger-
many, or the King of Prussia, can be the dupes of
Bonaparte's political hypoc.isy ; but, divided and
unprepared as they are, to resist an attack from

France, while they mistrust each other, their com-
mon jealousy dilates it as their policy not to pro.
yoke the resentment of the Usurper. Robespierre's
reign of terror, ten years ago, extended no farther
tha❑ over France ; but that of 13,,wiparte tyrannise;
over the whn!e continent, from li.tnthurgh to p,•
lermo; at the former period, the continent v..;
free, and most of its nations in arms against the n-
yolutionaiy Monster ; which now, after di.mrming
them, enslaves, plunders, oppresses, and dograa,3i

them at leisure, without shame, as well as withot.:
opposition. As Britons, we have to be prouj of
our comparative situation with the continent ; but,
at the same time, we ought to remember that, b a
some few years ago, Holland and Switzerland en-
joyed the same blessings of liberty and ind:pen-
dcnce.

The deficit of forty millions of florins i s this year's
budget of the Batavian Government, has excited
the attention of the Finn CONSUL, who has con-
sulted CitizensTALLEYRAND and Mstaots, with the
Counsellors of State of the seElion of finances, as to
the best means to make good this deficit. Report sat-%
that the plan of Cit. TALL! YR AND has been adopted,
and that the French Minister Sixorivittor, at the
Hague, has received orders to iaviic the Dutch Di:cc.
tory to pot it into executirn, notwithstanding the cla-
mours of the mercantile at istocrates of Amsterdam
and Rotterdam, whose anglootalia is proverbial in
Holland as well as in France. (I.c ah.tven Francoh.)
Dispatches, which are supposed to he of consider.
able importance, were received on Thursday at the
Admiralty from Admiral Contma Lis. NVe under.
stand that they relate to some movements which
have within these few days been observed in th'
enemy's fleet. Great activity has lately been exerted
to prepare it for sea.
The Dover Carrie, Captain Geocor RICKAIM:

One of the Brighton fishing-boats lately fell is
with, and spoke to an American vessel (the Balti-
more, from Baltimore) off peachy Head. This yes.
Bel had' left Dunkirk only the day preceding, to
which place she had been bound with tobacco ; and
the account which was communicated to the fi-her-
men of the preparations on the other side of the
water, for the invasion of this country, justifies the
presumption, that it will be attempted in a very
few days at farthest. Nearly the whole of the
troops, it was stated to them, intended for the es-
pcdition, had aFtually embarked for the danerous
projeft, ere the Baltimore left Dunkirk ; and that a
fair wind was only wanting to waft them across the
Channel.

Two new gon-!-cEitT, to he called the Creek'? and
