Tile Ambassador of the Eletor of Hesse. the
*ri►y Counsellor Von hialsburg. has hitherto con-
tinued the negotiations relative to a closer connec-
tion ►etween his Coen and France.

It appears as if this principle had been adopted in
modern diplomacy—that the Ambassadors of Fo-
reign Powers, usually resident hero, shoukl attend
solely and alone to the ordinary business of the
embassy ; and tkat an Extraordinary Ambassador
should be employed on extraordiaary occasione, in
transactions of an aauelly political nature. The
latter, notwithstanding their public mission, still
observe.* kind of flinni!s, as they are not present-
ed at the Grant Imperial audienee. In this man-
air, Duke Ferdinand of Wurtiunberg, who had a
parsicular commission, seas not presented.
Count Winaiagerode, Minister of State of the
King of Wuttensberg, has been at Paris, several
mouths, o.s an extraordinary mission. He observes,
In many respe,s, the above-mentioned lacer/to,

I knu.v not how far you are acquainted with

the approaching andication of the Eleaor of Ba-

from the Mo. iksr, is excited an extraordinary sen-
sation at St. Cloud. The Eieltoral Prince. equally

permission to condua his bride house, that she ruiAht
testify at Karlsruhe, hoer very repugnant the idle
talk of such a change was to the real views aui in-
tentions of the French Emperor. An extiaordimity
cotirier was dispatched the same evening, that these
sentiments might be conveyed as speedily as possi-
ble to Karlsruhe, and that any unfavoureilc
iinlires-
sion made there might be immediately effaced or
prevented, before tie arrival of The .Woniftur, con-
taining the very significant refatation a the article

in question. . •
M. M.srqu:s de Lacoste, the recently drceased
Prefeft of the department of Allier, is ur.iversary
lamented. He was the husband of the virturris and
highly-respedted Mademoiselle Balletti, who ,ollee
cached the astonishment of Paris and of Europe;
and who, moreover, gained the esteem of all by her
innumerable excellent qualities; who enjoy. d the
unbounded love of her husband till his death, and
obliged all those who saw her in the family circle,
to consider her as the model of domestic life. M.
Lacoste was one of the best Prefects; he likewise
set a useful example by his improvements iu agri-
culture. He was originally a Cbeveaz bger in the
Royal Guards ; afterward• French Resi.ent at
Deuxponts : and, lastly, a Deputy to the Consti-
tuent National Assembly. During the most turbu-
lent part of the Revolution, he was one of the rare
exceptions to the general unhappy rule. Notwith-
standing his nobility, his property, and his former
services, and though he had taken not the least ap-
parent part in the follies and principles of the day,
he was left untouched; his person, his family, and
his reputation, escaped uninjured.

' THI DUTCH PAPERS.
►ARIS, AUGUST 1.
From a view of the fnrtuaate issue of the nego.
elation* between France and Russia, some circum-
stances have been from time to time perceived. It
is observed, that M. D'Oubril came here on the
6th of July, and that only fourteen days espired,
before the conclusion of peace. Besides, it is un-
derstood. that Lord Yarmouth was constantly
present at the conferences between M. M. Clarke
I and D'Oubril. from which, it is not doubted, that
the British Cabinet consented to it. Sit been
after the signing of the treaty, it was rat.fied by
the Emperor. on the 29th of Joy, end M. D'Oa-
bril immediately departed with it for St. Peters-
burgh, while a espy of it was carried to London by,
an English Courier.
A report prevails, that a treaty of alliance has
been signed with the Ottoman Porte, by which
Francs binds herself to aid in sJpsiessing the Ser-
vian insurgents.

Several circumstances induce us to presume that
we approach the dronerment of the present crisis,
which will be determined, it is said, by the arrival
of a courier expeeted from Vienna.
It is supposed, that besides the negotiations rela-
tive to Cattaro, the existing treaties with the Porte,
and the events in Servia, are the objeas which oc-
cupy, at this moment, the cabinet of Paris and Vi.
Lima, the exchange of Couriers is very brisk.

Yesterday evening the French entered this c;:y.
and to-morrow we expett mute. The divisions
coming from Anspach and Riergcntheini wele pass-
ing through the whole of the preceding day. The
number of French troops here amounts (according
to the report of their Officers) to 1 3,000 including
five Generals ; they are drawn partly from the

Bern-

dotte, and from that of Marshal Mortier. Tweaty-
fyir divisions of French troops here, again passed
through this city to-day.

to use the Baths there, will, in future, (or greater
convenience, take up his a►ode at the latter pl ice,
where a suitable residence is preparing for him.

LOS DON,

WEDNESDAY, ALGUST 13.

We copied. yesterday, the following paragraph
from MOT TLEY'II Portemeati Paper, in which it
was given, without comment, as written by an O.
err in the Channel Fleet, and dated the 4th instant :
" The Hibernia is completed for a long ♦oyage, to
take the PR I loci Renews of Portugal to the Brazils, •
and establish him there as King." A removal of
the seat of government from Portugal to the Brazils
has been mentioned, more than once, as a subjen in
contemplation since the commencement of theFrencb

revolution. Attaching, therefore, some credit to
the above letter, we stated the recent suspension,
by the Vißualling-O►iice, of the t.sual contrafls
.for stores for Lisbon, and some late demands of
the French Government, of a cession of part of
Portugal, as justifying an apprehension that it was
threatened with some new danger. Of the precise
nature of the danger we cannot pretend to speak
with certainty or precision. We may, however,
observe, that according to report, one of the me-
naces thrown out by Bot:APA ate during the present
Negociation was, that if the British Government
did not consent to a Peace, he would take possession
of Spain aid Portugal, and annex them to his own
dominions ; or, what is in substance the same, be-
stow them upon some of his own family. It is,
therefore, by no means improbable, that the
PRIIICS ReGeNT may have determined to retire to
the Brazils, in the event of Iris European Dominions
being taken from him ; and, of course, the British
Government would afford him every possible assist-
ance. This conjecture is not a little strengthened
by a letter in Tile G Lose, tf yesterday, dated Ply-
mou:h. August the 10th, of which the following
is an eztraa :—" Yesterday, after Jost, arrived His
Majesty's ship hapetui six, 80 gaps, Capt. LAWVORD,
from the Channel &et, which she left on Friday, at
11, di. as. ; at that time Earl Sr. Vincairr went on
a secret cruise to the Southward, with the Hibernia,
Defiance, and two frigates. le 'We% abet *Monts
ate fitted up for the reception of some Royal Vi-
sitors. 'I he Channel Fleet is now under the com-
mand of Admiral Sir C. Cotton."

plaiimai. It is the 460 thAaace between the two

squadrons. Although flirty were both seen upe,7,
the same day by the Dane, it does not follow 0,1!
they were insight of each other. They may, it
feel, have been at a great distance asunder. (La
readers may rememher the sanguine hopes enter.
tained fruits the report of the Carieuz, that Lord
Netsom would have overtaken the Comhined Fleets
of France and Spain, off Antigua, in June ISty.
—ln consequence of the information g vets by his
Lordship to the Captain of the Gorden', that vessel
passed thrtiugh the enemy's fleet, and leported
Lord Nti.scio was only a day's sail behind. The
report of the Cnrieus was certainly more tribe relied
upon than that of a Dane, or any other strange
ship, and yet we know that the hopes four-l-
ed upon it proved fallacious. The Admiralty. ac.
court of Monday stated, that the French squakiroa
was standing westward, a circumstance which
strengthens the opinion entertained at Barbaclorr,
that its destination was the Havannah. It is alto
stated, that Admiral COCHRANE'S squadron was
under easy sail when seen by the Dane, but horn
the unavoidable brevity of the telegraphic dispasel,
it is not certain but that the words " easy sail" apply
also to the enemy. In the latter case, we may pre.
sume, that the gallant Admiral was watching for a
favourable opportunity, that should compensate fur
the inferiority of his force, to attack the enemy.

We this day resume our Extrafts from the Ham.
burgh papers to the sth, brought by the m :1 which
arrived on Monday.—They give several tr:ieulars
respelling the new alliance of the Southern States
of Germany, to be called the Rhenirh Fatrailan.
The Congress for its organization and arrangemeot
will he held at Frankfort, and several of the Dimi-
ties have already provided residences for themselves
in that city.—lts constitutional iviembers, instead of
the Regal dignity, will rece:ve that of Grand Duke,
with the title of Royal Highness, and all the neigh-
bouring Princes, who wish to be admitted into it,
shall be received. The Congress will be opened at
Frankfort on the Ist of September, and will be at-
tended by Bonaraars in person.

We have received Paris Papers to the sth, and
Dutch to the 9th instant. The Jewish Convocation,
at Paris, has commenced its business, and a series
of questions has been proposed to it by 13
as the basis of its discussions. The boat belonging
to the 'tramp man of war, which was missing after
the late gallant attack upon some french vessels, in
the mouth of the Garonne, fell into possession of the
enemy. The Lieutenant, Mr. M s, and two
men, we regret to state, were killed ; the Midship-
man, Mr. Bt. ACIESTONC. and the rest of the crew,
amounting, in the whole, to eighteen, of whom
three were wounded, were taken prisoners.

The Garrete of last night contains a latter from
Captain S t tuts, of the Adamant, giving an acc,Aust
of his capture of a Spanish frigate of SO guns. He
adds, that the Canno&irre. French frigate, which
put into t: .e Cape of Good Hope, conceiving it still
in the hands of the llntch, had effetied her escape.
