PAOM TIM FRENCH PAPERV.

ItATISBON,•SEPT. I.—The:NotOransmitted the
day before yesterday by Citizen BACHER, to the
Direaorial Minister, of Mentz; and canntiuniCated
yesterday by the latter to the Diet; leaves, no doubt
but that the French GOvernment is in the most per-.
feet understanding with. the Court of Berlin to set-,
tie the business of the Indemnities, so as take away'
all hope from . the Ecclesiastical party,. which flat,'
tered itself, even -to- the present lament (as we may
see by the votes of ,Salzburgi. Munster, Szc.),- that
the Indemnities would be borne by'the entire mass
of the States ,of , the Empire, without any regard
to the nature of the Princtpalities It is nOW'clea-r
that the. Ecclesiastical,States alone will- furnish the'
Indemnities; and every thing, anounces that the..
greatest latittide will be giverNo the .system of
secularizations. We know, for certain, that- the
COurts of Castel, _Baden, and Darmstadt, are gua-
ranteed to be indemnified even beyond their loses.'
'The ,CoUrt of Afrptich, which has concluded a se_
pirate peace with the French Republic, has received
not only the promise of the, integrity of its present
possessions upon the right Bank of the Rhine, but
further, the assurance that the' French Government:
will procure for it the most complete Indemnities.
'for its' losses -upon the left *Bank. The . Court of
Berlin;'-On, its side, is claiming strong Indeirinittes,, ,
as well for the •Duchy of Cleves, as for the: loss
Of its revenues, .and the expellees of the Siege. of
tic. N'Ve are ignorant as yet, in truth,.
whether,the Courts, and immediate Barott4 dispos-
sessed on the left Bank. of the Rhine, will be. in-
demnified, in like tnanner as the Hereditary Princes,
to. the whole amount Of their losses ; -.or whether
they 'will be left the property. and rossel,sion of
their dominions on the left Bank, •to enjoy them
under the laws of the „French Republic. - But, at
all events, there.is no doubt but that_ the Indemni-
tieS-to be granted will absorb the whole of the te-
cicsiastical Principalities. •

of the Declaration made on the 31st of August, in
-the . two Colleges, by the Minister of liis PRUS-

•
On the occasiontof the afrair Which is at present the objeft
of thedeliberatiinis of the Diet, the Minister of His Majesty
has received orders to cause to be 'inscriNAl in the Protocol
the following Declaration,
.in form of iiyote, and 4s'a Sup-
plement tb that which he has already given : . .. .
... .

" The principle, of the sce.ular4ations haying, been, fixed
by tha: paternal care of His I triperial Majesty, and. by
Germanic Body,thtil Capitidariesolthe great and little Chap,
ters which are vacant, or shall become vacant during the Oe..
liberatiblis relative to iheSe Indemnities, cannot proceed to
-new •Efeetions, without committing' a manifest inconse.
quenee, --'Such a prOceding-whtild throw the greatest obsta-,
cies in tfie.way of thz. Consummation of,the.work, of-Peace,
so neces-saiy. to -the. repose of the wilrite b;uipire; and; for
many reasoris,•.very easy to be Conceived,' and relating
,t6-tho
competencies to be given to the present possessors, ,it would
bb opposite
,to the equitable wishes of those who, in the al-
lair of thejeCularizations, as a projeel 'of indenn-tty, will be
particularly attentive,- after having compared theUnass of the
losses: with _that of the Chapters to be secularized, to spare
both the one and the other of these last as much 'as possible,
FES Majesty, in consequence, invites his illustrious Co.
Estates to. sandion this measure, by passing. the tbllowing
Resolution as soon as possible: " .That in cases of such a
no.Elatinn shoohl he proceeded upon till it shall be
otherwise resolved." His 'Majesty is so folly'Con;;lnced of
the.justiee of this principle, that on hls part lie will not ac-
knowledge in
-any manner,. or In any case,. the- Eleelions
which Osall take place in the internal to vacant lu:helices,
whiCh may serve for his Indemnities, and :may be taken as
Snell, and this is what- His -Majesty has thought if right to
declare here in expressand decided terms at the. Assembly of
the Germanic Body.

' -"' Be reserves to hiMself the right of giving farther expla-
nations on the forms of the deliberations of the Diet for the
completion of the Peace of the Empire." ' •

. M. the Baron.de LE IKAM, Minister of Cologne
and Munger, has,- in like manner, protested in
both Colleges against the Declaration of Prussia—
his Protest runs thus :
- " Inconsequence of th:. Declaration inserted in the Pro.
tocol on the part of the Minister of Magdeburg, it has been
thought necessary previously to insert .a Protest, till histrui7-
tions shall have been received for .a Counter-declaration : in
the mean time we shall confine ourselves to the following
observations : •

" The illustrious Chapter of Munster; animated with
sentiments which the good of the Colinttv, which at present
confided to its care, renders a most sacredduty, has held no:
thing more urgent, on hearing the death of His Royal High-
ness the Prince Bishop, than to take those measures for the
immediate tranquillity of the Country and its Subjeas,
which in such circumstances it was absolutely called upon
to take by its'attribures, founded so firmly oh the Constitu-'
tiop of the Empire, and the rights which follow from them.
" With this view the illtstrious Chapter has not only oeen
immediately convoked in order to proceed to the Eleetion of
a new Bishop, but it has also, with all 'due humility, given
notice to the Supreme Chief of the Empire; and it flatters
itself that nothinovill be found in 'this proceeding but the
result of the de:.-rest duties' that are imposed upon it. The
said Chapter has notat all thought, and could the less think
itselfauthorised to release itself. fora moment froth their ac-
complishment, because'(however unfortunate the situation
of the Empire may be under the pressure of the last evei.ts of
a long and disastrous War), neither the deteimination of the
Treaty of Peace of Luneville, nor the Negotiations of the
Congress of Rastadt to Which they refer, contain any obliga-
tory, stipulation opposed to this 'accomplishment, which
may allow, .under and; consideration, any. application what-
soever, tending to restrain the undeniable rights which,trelong
to the said Chapter in the case of the existing vacancy.. Such
an application can the less take place, because the Bishopric
of Munster is the Directorial Prince itif a Circle, whose rela-
tions, qualities, and coherence with the Germanic Constitu-
tion,' are consecrated in the most-solemn manner by the fun-
damental laws of-the Empire; and this consideration gives
it the must perfect assurance, that its, farther supp4t can be
regarded only as an essential part of the Constitution, the fu-
ture existence of which had not only been already establiSh-
ed by the Treaty of Campo Fortnio, but has also been recog-:
nixed in the Negotiation-of Raitadi by the -Prdnch*Plenipp-
tentiaries in a mannerthe most Unequivocal, and which Can-
not be tnisunderatood -as to the Chapter of Munster in an 'al-
fair in which the deliberations Must have such a decisive ef-
feet. •

" The Minister of Munster_ is• satisfieohak.the French
Government, .;s•soon as it shall be perfectly informed of The
real. state of the matter, as it has been explained, will not
oppose any impediment to. the new electionr of one of the
principal' Members of the EMpife, making an integralpart
of the 'constitutional composition of the Germanic.Hocicy ;
but that it will hold itseit4ivited upon to proted it as a
CQntraling Party in . the ,Tr&aty of Luiievillc, . and the
Negotiationg of Rastadt, • which tetve • for their basis.
The said Minister has no, doubt that the illustrious Co-
estates of the Empire, -gnided by the just interest which
they take in the maintenance of 'the Constitution, wilt
unite their efforts and their intluenceto preserve the respec-
table-Chapter from anyembarrassment: in the discharge of
its duties, relative to the .ledionofa, nei,v•Piti Ncs Bisxor
of sTI a; particularly When .to the present morneht,..
and even since the Treaty-of Luneville, no other Chapter of
the Empire has found any impediment iqrnaking.the neces-
sary:Nominations."
