LONDON, y ULY 29, 18ar.

Ir will be seen from our Ltover. Letter, that a
very heaVy cannionading'was heard there yesterday
morning, almost incessantly from one to five o'clock.
We are enabled to account-for it by a Letter from
al.: Officer on board the Squadron now cruising off
Tou/agx..e.. Four of tkeEnevy's Gun-brigs, with four
Luggers and two Schooners, partly the same force as
that which about a. fortnight ago attempted to
escape from Calais, -ventured out of that Port on
2Vlondaynight. They were perceived by our ships,
who itUrnediately slipped their cables, and gave
them chase ; but only part of our Squadron could
get within-- shot of them. - A running fight took
place, but. .he vessels,- protetted by the Batteries on
the Coast, gotin to Boulogne. According to the same
•
Letter, on the authority of chick we cao,rely,
-are now in Boulogne Roads'one Schooner" about
Luggers, besides-.tho-se abo\; enumerated", and
others which lie in the Harbour. 'Ten Thousand SOT.

Our Rtaders will perceive in our Port Letters,
tmfEe;ent reason, to despise these threats of the Elie:.
my. The Peet now in the gowns; we 4ee with
pleasure; is not to be confined' to defensive. opera-
tions. The account in the London Quette of last
night, of the :capture of the ch.-mil-Ith, which was
stated' in' f)ur Plymouth Letter of yesterday, is a
sufficient proof-that the Energy are not safe in their
own Harbours,

Those who regret our less op this occasiop, must
not estimate it merely from the proportion which it
bears to the vr,lue of the Prize. The ICssou which
it is calculated to teach the Enemy at this moment,
is highly important: We doubt much whether

of naval success,
.excite a single haiza among the
speCiators of`the Capture of La Ckevretie,

AUGSBURCII, JULY /s,—The differences whiCh
haVe taken place between Austria and Bavaria; and
the consequence of which has been the entry of, a
Corps of sOOO Austrians into the Upper Palatinate,
are not yet removed, as was at first supposed.----
They were Occasioned by claims of Territorial Su_
periority advanced by. Bohemia over the property
of Schceiisee, belOnging to M. "de BARRENZLAW,
on the frontiers;of BOhemia. Bavaria claim's the
Territorial uperictrity, although it admits that it
is a Fief springing ,from the Crown of Bohemia.
Hitherto Bavaria has been in possession of the
rights, she claims, but when the Austrian Troops
Withdrew from the Empire, one of their de-
tachments remained at Schansee. The Bavaro-,
Palatine TrOops arrived a- few days afterwardS,
summoned the Lieutenant commanding the detach_.
meat to retire; and on his refusal, took him and
his Corps prisoners,. This measure having excited
the indignation of the Austrian government, they
sent a large body of Troops into the Upper Palati-
nate. The Bavarians who occupied Sfhteniee, were
attacked and put to flight. We await with impa-
tience farther details.

RATISuON, JULY r4.-The Direaorial Minis-
ter at Mentz, has presented the Ministers of the
Diet with a Note, acc-ording to whicp, a Deputation
is to be appointed of twelve States; to wit, Woltz,
13ohimhz, 4'4aity, and .4(vz.,aria, in the College of
Eleaors ; Austria, Illadge4rgh, Brevets, Wurtem-
.
burgh, Pflurtzburgh, and the. Courts of the Evan-
gelical Religion, in the College of Prirces, and two
linpeiiil Cities in the Third College. This Depu.
tation is to settle the affairs of the indemnities,
and to submit its' labours to the Diet.
Tar pre:ent .staff; of &rope, ancl,..it may be
said, ot all.parts'of, tire political world, the inte-
rests,of which it deteiminc•:., is as much as ever
worthy of the attention and the regret of the Pa-
triot and the man ofobservation. A few months ago
he might, with reason, have flattered himself -that the
dawn of that day was approaching, which was at
length to give peace and repose to the human race.
That day, so, desirable, and so.much hoped for, ap-
pears again at a distance, and the gratifying ex-,
peftaiion, which all people, had been led to enter-
tain, seems destroyed by the ambition of one Na-
tion; or rather of one Government. -
If the French Revolution, and the. War which
it has occasioned, offer to the Historian charac-
'teristic features, distinguishing it from all the
great political conv_:Asions which have preceded it,
the history of the.ifeeiing Pacifications which have
'interrupted the progress of War will be viewed by
Tosieiity, as poless.sinvlar. Althoff Europe has
been but too frequently, during the last two hund-
red and fifty years, the theatre of general Wars,
tifey have nevertheless allowad gumanity some lei_
tO breathe, and the Treaties which succLssively
,
'hope of stability. Many years of profound peace
foli6wed the Treaties of Monster, the Pyreneans,
Nimeguen, RYsWick, Usrecht, Aix-la-Chapelle,
and Paris ; and like the ocean, which settles into a
• calm, the longer and'the'moreperfea, as the tem-
pest has been moreio*rible, it tjasafter the most
important and the troAti;gericral:J-Wars, that of the
thirty years, and that. of)tlie-,'Spanish Succession,
that Europe enjoyed the longest repose under the
shade of Peace,

In this respel however, as in every other, the
French Revolution furnishes a contrast: to • all that
•has before happened, When, after five years con-
test, France concluded the Treaty of Campo:F.or-
mio with the EMPEROR, the Direetory, theroe-
nerals, the Orators; and the Journalists were •in
cessantly. asserting, either in their speeches or their
writings, that the Temple of Janus was shut, and
that that Treaty would serve as a basis for.the Pa-
cification of the whole world. But although it had
.been preceded, by those of Basle, of Turin, and of
Tollentino,,and tho,igh it left nothing to settle, an
the Continent but the points in dispute befween
France and the Empire, this. boasted Treaty did
not disarm a single Soldier in any part of Europe:
—the War in S‘witz,eiland and the revolutionizing
,of Italy immediately followed; and in less than,
eighteen months after it had been concluded; the
French themselves broke it by the invasion of
Swabia. The Treaty of Luneville succeeded, and
pl:e occasion, like the first, to produce acclama,
lions from all quarters, that, itonvention, djliatet4
- • .• •
by natural and political conven.iin4ics, would have
. .
that stability which:was wanting:fo- that of Campo
Form' io, and that a general Pacification would in a
j.
short time be the result-of it.
It, may however be asked, 'what steps have since
that time been made towards this great -Objeet ?
What are the Powers whose interests. have been
fettled, and who feel themse•lves, we will not say
in liXedituation, but even in a situation of re:.
posh ? Au.ori,? and France are already sensilite'that
•
they cannot agree on that ArtiX: ar "the Treaty of

Lun6ville which is of the most importance to the
former. The latter appears ,td he on the point of
breaking with Prussia, with whom during- the last
five years of War she has -kept up a good un.
derstanding. Nor does she seem to be able to main-
tain that,state of Neutrality in whic h the EMPEROR
PAUL had placed, -Russia with respea to
T tem is not one Prince in Germany. with whom
she has made any fixed arrangement. The KING,
of &ARON' tn, the KING of NAPLES, and the Pore.
are still ignorant of the fate reserved fot, them. In
short, the whole Continent is_ still the viettm of
thearms of France or the sport of her.political,
intrigues : a state
,of crisis and uncertainty prevails
throughout, worse perhaps, than that of decided
War and the unhappy. People whom their Leaders
have for nine years involved in War with almost
all others, cannot flatter themselves that. they -will
not have soon the same fate again to undergo.—
,
They have concluded. Treaties of Peace with almost
all the Powers of the Continent in succession, from
the highest -to the lowest btit they cannot venture
to assert, that they are:aattally at Peace with any
one. They have heen.in ,the conk,situatiOn with
their Treaties, as tvith their internal' Administra-
tion.. After all the thousand Laws, made by their
Representatives, --they
,are still without a system of
Legislation, because lIIOSe TAWS, like their Political
Conventions, hafe been didated -hasty
pulse of pasgon, have. been imposed by force, and.
assented to by weakness ; and are calcttlated to.sa-
tisfr the ambition of -some'individrials-,.- rather-than
.the genero' interest of People and - Genera-
,
dons.
A witness to the,.vicissitudes,-'the
evils into whickithe Continentshas fallen; England)

knowledge, hi)* to, avoid them. The-Ifessel.ofthe

braye, rides: triumphantly in the midst of the tem„
pest and the general shipwreck. -liopes,:- had-arisen
that Peace might have led it with safety. into Port,

but this agreeable prospea now' 'appears more dis,
taut : our eyes are however still aftefitively fixed
ron it; but should it entirely disappear, it will be

manifest to the whole world that we have. never

ceased to. invoke Peace with sincere and disinreFe“_:.
ed wi►shes. All people will . admire. the constancy'
and the resources which we shall N-vitli new vigour
display, and Providence. will, we. tatter ourselves,
crown with success the measures of an- Adzninistra-
