FROM THE DUTCH PA PE aS..c'

PAR AUG. 9.---The Negotiations commenced
by Lord Y.liumotrru in this Capital have been con-
tinued with activity since the arrival, of Lord LAU-
DERDALE in the • capacity of' a- Negotiator. His
Lordship, the day after his arrival on'ihe 6th of this
Month, had a long conference with the Minister for
Foreign Affairs. Our Journals state, that Lord
LAUDERDALV, was presented to the Emperor, .at St.,
Cloud, on the 6th, but we have received the most
positive information that this is incorrect ; because,
conformably to etiquette, that presentation cannot
take place till after the conclusion of a Treaty of
Peace. As the success-of the important Mission of
this Negotiator must depend More or less upon his
personal sentiments and connexions, Politicians have
taken great pains to obtain information upon the
subje&.
,[Then follows some account of Lord LA unzioALE and
the Secretaries who accompanied him, which, however, is
not very correCt.l

VIENNA, JULY =1..--Our Court has appointed M,
D'UTz Ambassador to the Court of Spain,. It is
said, that' if the Instruaions, of that Ambassador
were printed, tfiey would she‘v the folly and per.
fidy of those by whom they were drawn up. It is
added, thA the Emperor of Germany having received
some information upon the subje6t, was indignant
,at
the part which he had been made to play, and wish-
ed to call the authors to an account. If this be true,
M. STADION is extremely unskilful, and betrays both
his Master and his Country. Every body is dissatis-
fied with the absurd and crooked poltcy of our Cabi-
net. The EMperor, alone, will not see it. How
can the Emperor keep such a man in • his Ad-
ministration, who has been so completely unmasked
by the publication' of the English Correspondence,
and who • played the principal chara6ler in the
third Coalition, and who still appears attached to the
same system ? All these perfidies will ultimately
turn against the authors. Is it not then time for the
Court of Vienna to proceed in a frank, and open
manner ? What can it hope for now ,

NAPLES, JULY 24.—The official account of' the
siege and surrender of Gaeta has not yet been pub-
lished, but it will shortly appear. The Govern-
ment Gazette, however, has published the fel,
lowing observations upon. the subje6l:—The Ca,
palliation took place on the' 18th ; the prin,
cipal breach was formed in the citadel, as far as the
foot of the Counterscarp ; it was large enough for
16 men to enter abreast. The French columns
were ready to mount the breach ; the Grenadiers, .
who composed the first column, waited impatiently,
for the signal to-begin. the assault. Marshal MAsstN:4
then summoned the place for the last time to stir-
render. The. besieged requested a. short delay_ to,
obtain permission from their. Commandant the
Prince of HESSE PHILLIPSTHAL, who had been
wounded ; but they were answered, that within an.
hour the French would be in the place by force of
•arms. The sight of the columns ready to move; the
breach open and easy to mount, two other small
breaches through which it was not very difficult to
penetrate, and the fear of being treated with all the
severity of the lav4!s, of, war, induced the garrison to
capitulate.
LEGHORN, Jut.y 24:,--7;Yesterday. a Small vessel,
fitted out by the. English at Malta as a Privateer, ran
agroUnd near our Port. The crew got on shore.
.:A part of the garrison went out after them. Fifteen
or sixteen sailors, with an Officer and a woman,
hid themselves in the woods. 'A detachment of
Cavalry was sent after them,: and five were taken.
It is not known what steps Government will take
upon this occasion. ; the. Ship; as corning from
Malta, ought to be subje& to quarantine.
FRANKFORT, AUG. 4.--7 When the Princes of Nas,
sau„Usingen. and Nassau Weilbourg took possession,
of the Territories 'assigned to them, the following
Patent was published, signed by the former. in bi,s,
new quality-of Duke of Nassau : •
" FREDERIC, by the grace of God, Duke of Nas-
sau, in our name and in that of the Prince of Nassau
Weilbourgh ; Be it known, experience having proved
that the Germanic Constitution is no longer capable
of assuring internal or external tranquillity to the
South .of Germany, several States of -die Empire
have united, under the proteEtion of the Emperor of
the Frerich,'.' &c. &c. -
