One of the Deputies to the Diet in Estate of

sellers obliged to print, at their own expense, the
refutations of the hooks poblivlied by them against
the doctrines of the establi.heil church. This
proposal has beret disapproved, and rejected by the
Coininittee of the Constitution, as an infringement
of tie Lil►erty of the Preys, and an attempt to in-
troduce a theological censorship.

LOWER EI.IIE, NIARCH IS.
According to the last accounts from Tunis, a
ship is fitting out there which it is said is to convey
dispatches respectiog a convention concluded with
Holland. The same is the case with two other Cor-
sairs. which it is said are to require satisfaction of
England for the ships token from the Tuniseans in
the Channel. It is to be hoped they will riot nu-
ture it. However. the English Government, ou
receipt of this news, immediately gave orders to its
cruisers to be on the Ellett, and directly to give chase
to all Corsairs that truly appear in the Channel.
Under these circumstances, it might be advisable
for vessels exposed to the piracies of the Barbary
Corsairs, which have to sail into the Channel, to
Plop in the Downs, to make inquiries, and in case of
need procure convoy.

BREMEN, MARCH 18.
Accounts from Madrid, of 24th February, state,
that news has been received from Mahon, that a
Tuniseau corvette had cast anchor there. The
Reis who commanded it, immediately inquired
whether a division of Tuaiseati ships of war wus
arrived. This corvette was stated to have an Am-
bassador to the English Government on board.
and was to put to sea in a few days.
HAMBIJRGH, MARCH 40.
Accounts from Palma, of the Bth of February,
referring to preceding accounts of 19th of January.
state, that a Tunisian ►quadron, consisting of a
brigantine, a corvette, and a schooner, arrived on
the 7th of January in the harbour of Minorca, and •
sailed on the 18th, without any information obtained
whither it ►gas bound.

By later accounts received in London from the
Turkish Consul lit Gibraltar, it appears that this
Tuniseast squadron is strictly blockaded in the lint-,
by some Portuguese men-of-war, which seem re-
solved not to suffer it to sail into the Atlantic. If
they succeed in this, the object of the pirates will
Ire prevented, and perhaps the Hanseatic
may venture into the western ocesu wit' t ti►k,
and the rather as the Portuguese are at war with
the Barbary Powers, and will miler their vessels to
chase all these vessels which may appear on their
coasts or in the ocean.

Letters from Colmar. of the 17th of March, con-
tain the following :—The Grand Duke of Baden
is said to be attacked with a disease which excites
apprehensions fur the life of his Highness, who has
110 mule heirs.

Some new particulars which we have learned re-
specting the fire at the Odeon, seem to give rise to
extraordinary conjectores. On the rehearsal of
111 Daubigny's !bile piece, Messrs. Peri-owl and
Thruard complained several flutes of a strong
smell of turpentine. When M. Perroud return-
ed to the house at a qnarter past three, he perceived
no flumes except under the roof, which seem* to
prove that the lire began at the top of the build-
ing. It will be recollected that on the day of the
tire. the doors of the tirst and second tier of boxes,
which are usually padlocked, were kit open. A
great iimadwr of thieves were assembled in the
home at the beginning of the lire.
The keeper of the Theatre was apprehended the
day before yesterday in consequence of various de-
clarations which hive been made. His son had
been secured at the time of the fire. The chief

ing given great satisfaction in every part of the
kingdom. .1 his law for the increase and improve-
ment or the. Frenth army induces HIS extracadi-
nary expense, and is a voluntary measure. The
inability or France to maintain the army of occu-

The following are neatly the conditions on %loch
the Powers caosent td quit the French territory :
They withdraw their truriyo. but not their rurvril-
lance. Aft the strutter Contingents go lionie, but
the four great Powers keep each 13,000 men near the
French f►ootier, who, iu case of need, will advance
upon Paris. The English will be iu Belgium, uteri
Brussels the Duke* head-quarters. Thus, at
the least motion hi Feiner, 60,000 chosen Men
will unite at a certain point (Paris). and the Powers
of the second order will have a reserve to support
the operations of the great Powers. This army of
observation will be paid for by France, which will
be • disadvantage, as the money will be spent
Elwood ; whereas what the. French have hitherto
puld mostly returned into the hands of Government
by the indirect time,.
BRUSSELS, MARCH

A cause, which s►•rves to excite great imerest
moon the strangers who are in this city, h:s been
heard this morning, for the second time, before the
Correctional Tribunal. Two Engligh Ladies. one
the daughter, the other the grand-daughter of the
late Archbishop of York, have indicted 'Journalist
for calumnies, which they assert are directed against
their honour. English of the highest rank have

been heard as witnesses. M. Jouhaud is Counsel
fur the. two Ladies. The Printer mud Editor are
defended by Messrs. Leroy and Lavigny. The
Court is to pass sentence to-morrow.

On Tuesday arrived at Portsmouth the Leveret,
sloop of war, Capt. THERM. from St. Helet;a, in
eight weeks (having sailed the 27th January), where
she left the Conqueror, Racoon, Mosquito, Podor-
goes, and the St. Helena, Company's cruiser. Cap-
lain DAVIE, late Flag-Captain to Admiral PLAM.
PIN, with Lieutenant BERTRAM, of the Maputo,
came home invalided, having had bad health. Cap-
tain Waws, of the Podargus, had been appoint-
ed to the Conqueror, in the room of Capt. DAVIE
Capt. BRINE, to the Racoon; Hon. Capt. Roos,
Mosquito; Lieutenant CAIRNES, first of the Con-
queror, to command the Pudargus Lieutenant
CUPPAGE, to command at Ascension. The station
is considered to be wore dull, uninteresting, and

expensive than any other beside. BONAPARTS
continued to persevere in.that inert, secluded man.
net of living which lie a long time ago imposed
upon himself, and which has been attended by most
evident bad effects upon his health. Mr. O'MEARA,
his Surgeon, it is understand, has warned him that
the consequences muy prove fatal, and that spec-

lily, unless lie should.take exercise in the open air.
It is conjectured, that this pertinacious adherence to
his first-formed resolution, is intended to induce a
relaxation in the orders which restrict his going
abroad beyond certain limits without attendance
by an English Officer. Admiral PLAMPIN had
taken up his residence on shore, at the Briars.—
Every article of life is extravagantly dear; as an
instance, it is stated, that among the domestic ex-
penses incurred by Madame BERTRAND, fur her
own family only, is 3601. per year for washing
linen. The Leveret is come into harbour.

The Cadmus, Capain GSDCIE, hu returned to
the Sheerness command (now under Sir Joust
Gone) ; the Tiber, Captain DACRES, sailed on
Friday to cruise ou the coast of Sussex; the Spar-
tan, Captain Wise, C. 13. sailed on Saturday af-
