Thozatt, Ptn. 1 Frankfort Papers are Oita
silent fespefting the circumstances. in which that
City is placed - in consequence of the contributioti
imposed by the French Army. It appears that it is
not thought proper to indulge in any .con_ie6tures oxi
that subje&. The French Army iti this quarter
consists of the Division of AUGEREAU, the Batavian
Troops, and the Garrison of Mentz. These Troops
occupy the Countries on the Maine, and extend to
the Rhine and the Rhinegau. They are receiving
reinforcements by the arrival of CorPs from Moraviai
and besides the Division of General LAVAL, which,
before' the adjustment of the differences between.
Prussia and -France; formed a part of the Army of
the North on the Frontiers of Holland, and atter
wards returned towards Strasburg'', has received
orders to march to the Banks of the Maine.
STUTGARDT, FEB. 7.—We are assured that the
Crowned Princes of Bavaria, Wirtemburgh, and
Baden, will very soon form matrimonial connexions.
Measures have been. adupted here, to guard 'against
the contagious distemper which prevails in several
parts of Germany. Its origin was attributed to the
Russian prisoners, but the Physicians who have re-,
ported upon it, say it is a kind of nervous .fever,
which is .comtrion at this :season, and Ncthich has
been augmented by scarcity, and the evils attendant
on a state of warfare. •iu-toa, it,is faund ih pads
of Suabia and, Franconia in which the Russians
never were. •

PAM'S, Fan. AL—This day the Emperor, accorn-
'Dallied by the Arch-Chancellor. and. Minioter for
Foreign Affairs, inspeaed the Imperial Lyceum.
When the Prefea of the Seine and Oise, with
the Deputies from Versailles, had an audience of
the Emperor, they supplicated His Majesty' to cast
a faVoUrable eye on a place once so flourishing.
The Emperor answered, that he had a'ready given
orders for restoring the chateau of Versailles to its
former splendour, to accoMplish which great sums
Were necessary but that he was desirous to reside
for. some time in the finest Palace in the World.
At the Grand Mllitary.Fetival which is' to be
given on the 05th of May,, and the following days;
all the manufaelures of the French Empire will be
exhibited. The' Minister of the Interior has written
to all the Prefeas to forward specimens of the arts
andrnanufakaures in their respe6tive departments,
and has allotted 60,0,00 franes for defraying the ex-
peaces of this part of the plan.
The 5 per Cent. Consols are at 62i.

Letters have been received at Glasgow, from Dus-
seldortf, dated the 17th inst. by which it appears,
that' the French are determined to' seize British ma-
nufaaures through every part cif Bavaria. A French
Custom-house Officer, with a number of assistants,.
had reached -Desselidorif on the sth, and in-:
sisted on examining and taking away books and
letters belonging, to the Merchants, and wished
to seize British goods, although no prohibition.
against them had then been made in that country.
It is farther stated, that a large waggon was seized
by- French Officers on the road 'near Basle on the
territory of the Elector of Baden. The Officers
opened the packages; and took with them Al British
twtnufa&ured goods... .
While .the French were in posseSsion of Pres,
burgh, when. all the other inhabitants of copse-
quence anxiously sought, retirement and conceal-..
ment, Baron THUGUT, with an energy worthy of his
rank and reputation, and in defiance of the animo-
sity which the Enemy were suppo!ed to enter-
tain against him, caused the following Inscrip-
tion to be affixed, in large litters, to the front of
his house : The Residence of Baron THUGUT.'-r.
The French smiled at this proof of his resolution,
but their respea .for him' was not in the least dinii
fished by the circumstance.
The house of Mrs. Ingham,. in 'Charlotte-street,
Rathbone-place, was broken into about a fortnight
since, but the thieves were alarmed, and tied, with-
out effecting their purpose. The attack on the
property was renewed during the night of Aesday,
by three villains, who got over the area-railing, and'
forced their way through the kitchen window. A
lad,' who slept in the kitchen, they topk up stairs with
them to prevent his giving an alarm, and atter steal-
ing all the light articlestheycould get at, theyescaped
with their booty. A person who was lurking about
. the street is in custody, on suspicion of being an ac-
cessary to.the burglary.
Yesterday se'nnight, about nine o'clock, a Most
daring robbery was committed in the house of Mr.
Preston, at Warbleton, in Sussex, by three auda-
cious villains, two of whom, the door having beet)
opened to them, walked deliberately into the par-
lour, • armed with pistols (whilst the other kept
gdard without), and demanded the money which they
knew to be in the house. Mr. Preston made some
resistance; but after receiving several blows, Which
occasioned a considerable loss of blood, he thoUght
it best to submit, andled the villains to the escrutoire,
where his notes, Scc.weredepoSited, and which they
took, to the amount of upwards of 701. They next
went with Mr. Preston into the cellar, drank some_
beer, which they declared d—d bad, and ordered
him. to get better against their next visit. They
then took a bottle of brandy, wished him a good
night, and departed, with as much apparent care-
lessneSs as. they had entered. During the time the
thieves were within a servant-maid found means to
get out, and was proceeding, with much diligence,
to'alarm the neighbours; but she was stopped and
secured by the man stationed without doors, till his
companions had joined him; when she was permitted
to re-enter her n3astees,.house.,
Yesterday et;'nnight, as some fisherwomen were
gathering bait on the rocks near the mouth of the
Tweed, they found the body of a new-born male
infant. -'A coroner's Inquest was held, and gave in
a Verdi& of ll7ilfut Murder agdinst some person or
persons unknown. NQ circumstances at that time
appeared to lead to the discovery of the perpetra-
tor; but on the Saturday following, suspicions were
entertained against a young woman of the town,
commonly' called G'rters. Gown, when she was ap-
. On Tuesday se'nnight Mr, Donaldson, of Wind-
mill-hill, near Berwick, .a Member 'of the North
Durham Yeomanry. Cavalry, had desired his servant
to prepare his sword, pistols, and accoutrements, -for
the next day's drill; when a lad of 15 (son of one of
his hinds) unluckily came into the kitchen;and tak-
ing up one of the pistols- which lay. on the table,
presented it in jest at one of the maid-servants, pre-
tending to shoot her, when uefortunatelythe pistol
being loaded, treat off,•arid killed her oh the spot.

,are producing the most

in :rcial intercourse with every part:
_of the do-
-minions of a
,Belligerent; perinitted by the .laws
of the Country, with the exception of blockad-

'been decided between Great Britain and the United
"Slates; by the sentence of- their -Commissioners,
-mutually appoitr.ed• to .decide in that and other
ipaegms'of diti,;rence between the. two Nations,
suet the =tar paiment-- of 'damages awarded by
them, against Great Britain, for infra'thons of. that
right, therefore, it was perceived,' that the
same prineipie,Wris revived, with others more novel,
and extending 'the injury, instruCtions were-given to
• the Miniker''Plenipotentiary of the United States,
at the Court- of London, and remenstrances duly
made by him on this subjed, as Will: appear. by
documents transmitted here, itb. These were fol-
lowed by a partial and temporary suspension only,
;Nvithout any_disavowal- of the principle. He has
. therefore been in:Anzac& to urge this subject anew,
to bring it more fully to the bar of reason, and to
insist'on rights. tso evident and too important to be
surrendered. In the, mean time the evil is pro-
eeeding, under adjudications, founded on the prin-
ciple'which is denied. Under these circumstances,
the suhjeet presents itself for the consideration of
Congress. On the impressment of our seamen, our
remonstrances have never been intermitted. A hope
existed at one moment of an. artangement which
might have been submitted to ; but it soon passed
away, and the pra&ice, though relaxed at times in
the,distaut seas, has been constantly pursued in those
inour own neighbourhood. The grounds on which the
reclamations on this subjed have been urged will
appear in an ,Extrad from Instrudiens to our Minis-
ter at London now communicated.
