LONI)ON,
FRIDAY, hiettAat 17.

It is nOw cert tin that Mr. rir r will not attend
au the first day of the Session: but his Physicians,
we repeat, are under no apprehensions for his life.
:It is said, that after the Address to His MA) [ST Y
for His Speech upon the opeaing of the Session
'has Men carried. a Ith.tion will be made to ad-
ieu'', for a fortnight, ea account of Mr. Pirr's in-

disptisitivo.


His fit coast,' will hold a Privy Council, on Mos-
tar, when His MAJtSiv's Speech, for the opening
of the Session, will be finally s.ntlecl.

We, yesterday, gave the substance of the French
and Dutch Papers, the former to the Gth, sod the
latter to the 11th instant. We, this day, give the
detail, with tittralts from the liamburgh Papers to
the lith. They do not disclose any important fat

entirely .r*, tut they will
be found to contain some interesting matter. The
definitive Treaty of Frac- between Austria and
France, concluded, as we stated yesterday, at
Prestrirgh, on the 47th December, was signed
at roar o'clock, on the moraing of that day.
Its terms ars but imperfectly known, but so far
as they have stansoired, Austria is cut down to
the ra .k of a wet:mid-rate power ; and can-
es sie to rise her bead for many years in Zu.
sees. We are enabled to collet froaz the 37th Bel-
Iliiii of the Grand Army, thatVeniee is tJ be a:tars-
al to the kingdom of Italy. This is the only point
that rests upon official authority. Of the annex-

*Wm of the Tyrol, aad t►e Austrian possessions in
Swabia. as well u of pan of the hereditary domi-
nions. to the new hives's of Bavaria. we Were al.
ready apprised by the Hansburgh Mails which
arrived on Friday last. We had also learned,

through the same channel, that the Eleaors of BA.•
watt a and Wearsuntas were to be advanced to
the regal dignity ; and to this batch of new Kirgs,
report now adds,the Elseor of liAoss. Fhe Prussian
provinces in Franconia, as we stated in a former
paper, will probably contribute to the extension of
the new kingdom of Suabia, preparing for the
11_ Vetter of Wiar sae auto. The Emperor of Cas-
eates', We are told, is to be indemnified in the
Ilan, that is, with a wing of Turkey, for these

oprtifying and numerous spoliation' ; and Prussia
4, to have her equivalent in some other quarter.

OW for her. The Archduke Ca aat.o had a

When the Aacuntree received intelligence

I 41‘ the armistice of Austerlitz, his bead-quarters
were at Gratz, and there was no force between
him and View's, competent to obstrua his march
to that city. This army, amounting to ninety thou-
sand men, would, in the course of a week, be able
to reach the Austrian capital. The approach of
such a force, under such a commander. cc not
be viewed with ind;Terence by Env , who
would otherwise have Inv! :susiria entirely at his
mercy. By the terms of the treaty, Vienaa was to
be evacuated in fourteen days, and all the Austrian
States, :zcept those whi..a were to be ceded to Ba-
varia and the Kingdom of Italy, in six weeks. The
rontribution ordered to be levied upon the Austrian
Pr-yinces, in possession of the French, is said, thee
the interview between Prince Ca A at as and B DMA-
ea era, to have been reduced, from one hundred
millions. to thirty millions of hetes, or one million
two hundred And fifty thousand pounds sterling.—

Prince Ensue was Commander•in-Chief of all the

The Emperor of Rums* reached his capital on
the 2lst of last month ; his arrival was preceded by
the publication of a Bulletin, dated from Holitsch,
from which it is evident, that he was no party to
the Armistice.
The foreign Papers, in some measure, relieve the
anxiety felt for our troops in Hanover. They have
retrograded to Bremen ; and some arrangement,
through the mediation of Prussia, is supposed to
have taken place, which will prated that eledurate

froro becoming the theatre of war.
The French, who were about to pass the Ysel,
and advance into the Bishoprick of Munster. have
received orders to hilt. Au aaaaa v iied slackened
his mai ch ; and there is, therefore, no great proba-

An article in the Dutch Papers mentions, that
the benefit of this arrangement is not to be extended
to the Swedish troops ; and there is, probably. some
foundation for the report. The Swedish troops a&
