The Cloimissio:l of Government has :pm ad-
'keeled ma toAuvriag Prosloon:ion to the inhabit-

ant, :

" Citizens, in our aderess of the 11th July, we
announced to you our departure for Dresden, and
we made kr.owa to you the motives which had in-
duced us to undertake that journey, in the injunc-
tion which v:c addressed from that town to the Di-
rector General, the 22J of the same month. We
hastened to inform you, that, vouchsafing to attend
to our washes, Providence delivered the Govern-
meot of our provinces to his Majesty Frederic Au-
gu,tus, King of Saxony, the worthy °Wiping of our
kings, a Monarch equally renowned, both for his
private virtues, and public qualities. Being returned
to this capital by virtue of his orders, we have to
inform you, that in obedience to bis commands, we
resume the course of our fundion, which we will
continue until the establishment of the stable Go-
vernnsent that is preparing foe us l and that in the
manner and with the same authority that His Ma-
jesty the Emperor of the French. King of Italy. con.
6ded it to us. At the same time we nave received.
with a respeeful acknowledgment. this testimony of
, enuideace white Out Sovereign Nowa) has

given us, in permitting us to exercise the cove-
reign authority in his name ; and we propose
in executing his orders to fulfil • duty sacred
for every citizen, that of bearing, until the fixed
period, the load of duties which is laid upon us.
His Majesty has ordered two of our colleagues,
M . Gutaskowski and Stanislaus Potocki, to re-
main about his person, for the purpose of giving him
all necessary information upon the state of the na-
tion, and of our Duchy; and this, as he has been
graciously pleased to declare himself, in order to
acquire a profound knowledge of every thing that
concerns us, before he assumes the reins of Govern-
ment, and thereby, to enable himself to satisfy the
dearest wish of his heart, which is to contribute, as
much as lies in his power, to the prosperity and hap-
piness of a nation, to whom he has always pre-
served the most sincere attachment, and who, on their
side, have given him upon every occasion the most
unequivocal testimonies of their entire devotion.—
This conviction that His Majesty feels of our senti-
ments towards him, and the flattering certainty
which hevouchsafes to give us of his benevolence, are
the surest guarantee of our future happiness. After
experiencing so many huroilitiationsand misfortunes,
under a foreign despotism, the powerful and gener-
ous proteCtion of Napoleon the Great, at length
restores us to existence, and this breath of life with
which he has just teanimattd our body politic, • will
become the source of the lasting prosperity, which
the God of our Fathers had de: gtied for us in his
eternal decrees. He has given u. the first pledge
of it, by appointing for our Sovereign a Monarch
who is venerated by the happy inhabitants of the
borders of the Elbe, and whom all biher a do s
will doebtle.s civy us. Under his wise and ben..
Lent Government, the Polander will b, able to
display in all his enterprises, that unalterable firm-
ness, of which our ancestors have left us so many
examples, that harmony, that constant agreement of
hearts and minds, which the first of Heron has re-
commended to us, that manly courage which makes
one support with constancy transitory evils,and which
can alone render us worthy of attaining the glorious
end which we propose to ourselves, the national feli-
city; in fine, that unanimity of views and labours
which all will have for their objeet, the general good
and prosperity of the nation. It is thus that we shall
be able to eternise both the celebrity of the age is
which we shall have lived, and the happiness of fu-
ture generations. We erjoin the Diretinn of
Police to publish the. present Ordinances by the
usual means.

VINIGE, •ua. 17.

The Gazette entitled. krio Daheats, has pub-
lished a 'suer Irons Constantinople of the 17th of
July. which it gives as authentic. The fullowi.ig
is *neural:—

the revolution which has just been effected here,
safer from being finished, seems to recommence with
the most terrible symptoms. Almost all Asia refuses
to acknowledge the new Sultan Mustapha. On
every side is reared the standard of rebellion. Cidi
Bascia, the brother-in-law of Sultan Selim, having
assembled all the disbanded tr. who formed
part of the Nizami-redid, menaces the capital.—
Cossan Oglou, Kara Osman, and Jossof Aga, have
likewise assembled a great number of mal-contents,
and arc marching in a•ms to Constantinople. The
number of the rebels amounts, it is said, to near
100,0 ,O. They have seized and carried off to their
:amp the Dervise and the Patriarch of Cogni, the
pretended des:endant of Mahomet, the only person
who caa gird on the scimetar of the Grand Signor,
and proclaim him the legitimate Sovereign. Three
thousand cavalry have deserted during the night
from the capital, and passed over to Asia, to join
the rebels. We are at length on the eve of witness-
ing thi most tremendous scenes. It is to be feared,
that the Sultan Selim will perish by command of the
present Sultana Valid., in which case we may look
tor the effusion of rivers of blood."

landed, amounted to 6,000 men.

former success, prepared to make a vigorous resist-

WL.IMAR.

For some days past, it has been pretty generally
rumoured throughout this country, that His Ma-
jesty the Emperor Napoleon will create a new prin-
cipality of Jena. That country had formerly its
particular Dukes, of the branch of Saxe Eisenach.
When that branch became est ilia, Jena was in-
corporated in the duchy of Weimar. The re-esta-
blishment of that duchy would be a political and
historical monument of the ever memorable vi/lory
of the 14th of Onober, 1106. This principality is
said to be destined for one of the most distinguished
Marshals of France. The loss which the Duke of
Saxe Weimar would suffer by this cession,
.would
be richly compensated by the town and principality
of Erfurt, which is to be ceded to the Duke of
WI imar.

It is added, that the University of Jena will be
richly endowed, will become the first Academy of
the Confederatitm of the Rhine, and be placed un-

der the special proteEtion of {lii Majesty the Ern-
!peror of the French. Th• final detrirminatians
relative to this change are looked for with imps-
tience.

It appears to be already determined, that the part
of Ihuiingia, belonging to the King of Saxony,
shall be ceded to the Duke of S.ixe Gotha, who, in
his turn, will cede to Hi% Majesty the Dachy of
Altenbtugh.— (PIA: isle. )

Letters have been received hei e from Vienna.
which do not represent the arairs of Hungary in
so favourable alight as the public !stints have done
for some weeks. The deliberations of the States on
the Royal Propositions, are not yet concluded. With
respell to the demand of the court to assist it out, of
the wretched condition in which the Austrian
finances at present are, the States have agreed to take
upon themselves the payment of twenty-five milli-
ons of bank notes ; but the Austrian Government
-thinks this sacrifice insufficient, and far inferior
to- what the States are capable of making. The
Htingarian Diet has not explained, and it is not
known whether the sacrifice offered by the States is
to be aneual, or whether twenty-five millions are
the whole sum they mean to give. The Archduke
Palatine has been called to Vienna to co:ifcr with
the Emperor and the Minister on these different sub-
jeds. He was still there when the last letters came
away.

THE BRITISH PRESS.

LONDON,
TUESDAY, Sunman 22.

We have received sets of several of the Paris
Papers, including the Alrasitere, in a regular series,
front the 31 st of August to the 13th instant ; Dutch
Papers to the 15th ; and I lamburgh to the 29th
last. The French took possession of Caftan) and
Castel Nuovo, in tha be:;.h.i.ni,• of last month.—
About the same time a corps of French troops
sailed from Otranto, to take possession of the Re-
public of the Seven Islands. It thas appears that
Russia has resigned her proj in the Sputa of
Europe is favour of France. The equivalent which
the has received for the sacritice of this favourite
ohjot of Russian polio: has not yet transpired.—lt
must be something m ire tempting than the tea-d-
-usty of which she has stripped her unfortunate
friend and Ally the King of Paussia. The French
budget has been Lid before the Legislative B ,dy.
Th- taxes are the SAM* as fur the year 1607,
with the exception of a redudion of 10 per
cent. on the tax upon Income and Property.
The Argue avails Kull of this cU•ctunstance to ob.
serve, that Francs has reduc:d that tax in the same
proportion in which England has increased it.
France, bowein, is not likely to experience any re.
&Ilion of her military force. From the Wirth, Bo-
n AAAAA apt eyes are now turned to the South, Great
pains are taken to represent Hungary in a state of
discontent. All Asia, we are told, refuses to ac-
knowledge the new Sultan, and an army of one bun-
t dress thousand men is marching against Constanti.
nople. A new refmmation is mentioned as 'licitly
to take place in France, the objea of which is to
break e.isirn the distindions of religious sells, and
Iconsolidate even the Jews with the Christians.
Great preparations were making in the beginning of
August, at Antwerp and its vic:nity, for a secret ex-
pedition. The H.tmburgh papers insinuate that it
was destined fur the invasion of Great Britain or
Ireland.

The new Cabinet of Prussia k in full aFtiv:ty at
Koningsberg, now become the seat of Government.
It now appears that the Emperor of AusTala
is to he married to his cousin. the slaughter of the
late Archduke Fasotts APO, and that the fair hand
of the Princess As.cusra ot Saaur4v, is destined for
the Prince of BAVA ta.

The French Papers attribotc the defeat of the
English, at Rosetta, to the same cause assigned for
it in General Fa AIC a's dispatches, the failure of the
expeSed assistance from the Begs.

We understand thaqorders have been sent out fur
the immediate meal of General WIIITZLOCEI, and
that he is to be tried by a Court Martial upon his
return.

There is no truth in the report, that the Danes
meant to scuttle their ships.
A Board of Commissioners has been appointed by
Government to ad in regard to Danish merchant-
men and their cargoes, in the same way as the Dutch
Commissioners aged on a former occasion. Every
thing relative to these ships or cargoes will be refer-
red to this board, which consists of the Governor of
the Bank, Chairman ; Dr. PH IL Llmone, a Civilian ;
and three eminent merchants.
Mr. MELLISH, the Chairman of the Merchants
trading to the Greenland Fishery, has had an inter-
view with the Lords of the Admiralty, to offer the
crews of their respective ships to proceed to Copen-
hagen, to navigate the Danish fleet to England.
On Saturday, the owners of the ships attended on
board the Enterprese, with their respective crews,
to be approved of by the Regulating Officer, when
nearly 300 were accept2d, and received their several
tickets, and have since been forwarded in a tender
to the Nore, wnere vessels are fit reaJioeu to CU-
vey them to Copeobageo.
