Vienna; but that Lieutenant-General BRADT, had'
-no part in the violation .of Treaties, he being, at that
time 'at Zara, a ptace some hundred miles, distant
from Albania. It, is true, that M. JIRAny, in qua,
lity Of Chit and Military Governor of Dalmatia And
'Albania,: gave instruedons the ...Authdrities at'

strnAions were examined with care, and the Cabinet. .

The interest which our COart has felt in fli:iEhg• -

SEMI.IN, JtiNE..l6.--,On the loth instant Lien-,

terwaradin. Next day. he went on board a large
Imperial-Saick, with a number of Officers,- and de-
seeridathe Danube 41 within a lithe .distance of Pa- -
era, to reconnoitre at a distance the camp of the in-
surgents
and. their entrenchments. .
'From the 4th to the Bth nothing has taken place'
before,Belgrade but a few trifling skirmishes. The
Servians construct new works on different points T
they appear to- h4e-entjrely given up the idea ot
-taking the place by *storm, which they" would have
found' the more diiteult,''•as : they have:• but fewr.,
pieces:of large .ertillery. CZZRISI 'GEORGE, who is
constantly before Schabatz, has, it .is said, prulii.:
bited any enterprize gaiust Belgrade before lii. --e-'

'they did no, iiiisshief... On the following night, the
insurge.rits. 'fired' irHtli• red" shOt ball on . the Lower
Town ; several places took fire, 'and xint -house was•.,
entirely burnt: Since that there has been nu-can-
nonade..
. ' In the evening of the nth,. 'the insurgents

received a newLreinforcement of • some thousand.

batteries, erected against.the Lower Town are fur-,

' mortars.
The day-before yesterday'a Turkihh Courier, from
Constantinoplel to Paris, by the way of Vienna, .
'passed' throtightli,is place. He assured us, that a

„about to be taken, tranquillity /mould soon be re-

`-i brisk tire of artillery and mustinetry, which lasted till
I the triornin4 of next -day, The Seryiauenade a •

vigorous return to this fire. There has been alio
a severe skirmish, in which the Turks bad several
men i.v:Cd, wounded, and taken. The insurgents,
cut off the heads of last. The Lower. Town
of Eel:rade is deserted, 'those of the- iiThabitants

PARIS, JULY 13.—A: secrecy impenetrable to the'
Public covers the motives and progress. of the Cor7
respondence between the Governments of France
and England, which is,, hOwever, condated' with
Uninterrupted aaivity. . The 'same secrecy prevails_
with reprd to 'the Negotiations which ,have been
entered into in this capital with the Russian Coun- _
senor of State, M. IYOUBRIL. Nevertheless, one
of the objecis of these Negotiations, though we can-
not believe' it to be the only, or the most important
one, is publicly known. The avowed, -object is an
'arrangement for the exchange of Russian prisoners
of war, and also regarding the expenee which their
subsistence has caused. These prisoners, as well as
all those whom the fate of war has thrown into the

„hands 'of Oe.French, have experienced in France,,
on the part of the Magistrates and inhabitants, a
treatment for which foreign Princes should maze it a
duty to shew themselves grateful. -
PARIS, JULY 17.—Lord YARMOUTH expeeted a
Conrier yesterday, who, according to report, it was
supposed would bring him something decisive. M.
'D'OLTBRIL: has already had some cOnferericet relative
to the exchange of prisoners.
..
.
Though the possibility of an approaching Peace
with England occupies the public mind, the.secret
of the Negotiations remains between the, two Ca-
binets. But. it is
,permitted to 'us at least to cite
facts that announce a degree of good will on'both
sides, which was totally excluded by the tone'of
asperity used under. Mr. Prr4s AdministratiOri.—
It is said, that when Mr. Fox gave permission to
General. LAPOYPE and two other military Gentle=
men to return to France upon their parole, he.de-
manded the same' indulgence of his Imperial Ma-
jesty for five English prisoners, in whose behalf
he interested himself, and which was not refused.
It is also stated, that Dr. JENNER, author -of the
Viccine discovery, addresSed the Emperor to ob-
tain the liberty of two of his friends, Dr. WIND-
HAM and Mr.
.WILLIAMS. , This request did not
reach the EMperor 'for a considerable time; but
as soon as it came to. his Majesty's,knowledge or-
ders were given for the liberation of these Gen-
tlemen ; and they will set, Out for Morlaix in a
few days, where they are to embark for England.
Lastly, the case of another English prisoner is
cited, the son of an eminent Astronomer, and who
had given- lihnself up to\the study of the sciences;
he, has also obtained leave to return , his own
Country. It is that-several Members of the.
•
Institute interested themselves very warmly- in fa-
vonr of this young and learned Englishman. These
foals, though they prove nothing in favour of a
general Peace, still have their use in shewing the
tern' er in , which the Nogotiations 'Lave. com-
menced..

The preparations for the triumphal Fetes are
carried on with activity ; bowever,it is impossible
to determine the precise epoch when they will
take place. 'Though several periods have been
mentioned, and among them the 15th of August;
yet as this indication is not supported by any au-
thority, many people are inclined to think the
Fetes will not be celebrated before the middle ,of
September.. Indeed, as every one is sensible that
the celebration of the Peace of the Continent is the
°bp& of these Fetes, it is indispensibly necessary
that the Treaty of Peace should previously 'receive a
full and ainple execution.
M. DE ZEDEMTROPT, Privy Councillor of the
Cabinet of Russia, passed through Nancy on the
15th instant, as' a Courier, on his way to St. Pe-
tersl;urgh.
• HAGUE, JULT 4.—Early this morning the King
and Queen of Holland set out from their 'Palace in
the Wood for the Waters of Wisbaden, attended
by a part of,the Court. The King,- before he com-
menced his journey, the necessity of which resulted
from the state of his health, gave orders for a very li
important movement among, the French Troops.
The greatest part of them are upon the point of
quitting the territory of Holland, where only
two Regiments are to remain stationary. Some
of these Troops are ordered to Wesel ,and Co-
logne, and the 19th Regiment of the Line to
toulogne.

AMERgroRT, JULY 22.—0 n the evening of the

after passing the night here they proCeeded on
the following day towards icimeguen; perfeelly

VitA4' P. • r Juc 13:4-Among the reports, with..
'numb , which circulate in Germany,,one in par-
ticular has' Axed the l,ubiic attention,' but more
t rotigh its impo Lance than the confidence which it

merits. It is said, that Grandeei of the Empire
of Russia have attempted to treat the Emperoi

ALEXANDER, In the same manner as his unfortunate
Father was treated ; but that the Emperor de-
fended himself with the greatest courage, and that
his Guards had time to come to his assistance.
The Grand Duke CONSTANTINE also arrived at the
same time. The rebels were apprehended, and the
most culpable lost their heads on the scaffold on the
folloWing day. A Foreign Power, it is said, has
taken a very active part in this affair. It is added,
that the Emperor ALEXANDER has informed the
English Government, that be shall make a separate
Peace with the Emperor NAPOLEON. We shall
make no reflections upon a report of this nature ;
but it is. certain that the English Funds have
fallen, and that it is believed in England that
Russia certainly will make a separate Peace with
France."

-MENTZ, JULY 13.—The Gazette of this place
contains the. following article :—" According to
rumours that we cannot authenticate, 'General BEL-
LEGARD.E, who had sailed with a Corps of Austrian
troops for the Mouths of the Cataro, which-. was
to have been delivered up to Tim by the Russian,
upon his arriVal there, found that, post in the
hands of the English, the Russians having' given
it up to them."
GENOA, JULY 9.—They write from Naples, that
the Commandant of Gaeta, not having had any
intelligence of the faaious persons .who he had
sent out in a sortie to excite the people to 'revolt,
had sent a person of the nathe of FiItINCESCO Ton-
RELLT to obtain information ; and who had no
sooner left the place, than he gave 'himself up to'
the Constituted Authorities nearest' Gaeta, 'declaring
that he did not accept of the 'Prince of I-l'essE
,
LTPSTAHL'S. Commission with any other view than
to withdraw *Jai . the oppression 'under which ~:he
people of Gaeta laboured'. He deposed at the same
time, that the Prince dared not undertake any thing
without the approbation of the English • ,Cotn-
mandant, who had assumed all the authority.. The
intelligence dire& from Sicily would make it appear,
that the English no longer think of defending' that
Island against the French ; and that apart of their
artillery, and all their Camp equipage, were already
embarked.

They write from Capna, under date of June
3(4 that the 32d Regiment of Light Infantry, pass=
ing. 'through that place, had received orders to halt
01 the surrender of Gaeta; as they were assured
that the attack would,be made in fire or six days.

HAGUE, JULY 17.-By Rpyal Decrees of the i Ith
inst. Lieut. Gen. BONHOMME is appointed Direaor-
,
General of the Affairs of War, in the room of M.
PYMAN, who is destined for another emp!oyment.

The late Governor of the Cape of Good has caused
the following Letter, signed by him, to be published,
for the reasons therein assigned :
" In the Rotterdam Courtmt of July 10, I find
the following article inserted :

," In a Foreign NeWspaper we have noticed a Letter writ.
ten at the Cape of Good Hope, March az, 18,36, in which,
among other things, it is mentioned, that'Sir Dior to .11 fit u.
had shewn His commission there,' by which he was appointed
Lieutenant. Governor, of that Colony, with a salary. of
I°,oool. per annu:n ; that M. VAN ItYNLVBLn was .ap.
pointed Supreme'Magistrate of the whole Colony, with un-
limited power and atillnirity ; anc that a large sun► of money
had been recovered, which the Members of the Government
had taken from the Treasury and shard among them; When
it was agreed to surrendei the Colony.

" That. which may appear regarding me per-
sonally, I conceivei-upon the whole; nOtworth my
while to refute in public ; but in th article cited,
there is something which, thOugh not regarding me,
may make an unfavourable impression in the coun-
try, in respe& to the Civil iNlembtrs of the former
Dutch Governthent at the bi'pe of Good Hope 3 and
those Gentlemen, being 3000 leagues frOM' hence,
. ,
may expea me to elucidate matters in which,they are
concerned.

" On the 6th' of January.last I left Cape Town
, .
with the Troops, in order to, give the enemy a meet-
ing. I left a'part of the cash to the disposition of.
,the Political Council,which, in toy absence, exercised
the supreme authority. ThoSe Gentle Men, as well as
every one else, foresaw that the Colony would be lost,
considering the magnitude of the :English force.,
They wished the Enemy to derive as little advan-
. •
tage as, possible, and at the same tinie-wished the .
Civil Officers: to have the mean's of returning to
their -Mother Country, or to preserve their inde-
pendence for a time,' that poverty, or the 'pre-
tence of poverty, might not furnish them with
an excuse for entering into the-service-of the Ene-
my. ; To accomplish this, they came ,to a resolve,
Jan. 6, and thus not only before the capitulation,
but before such an event could be suspeded—since
the fatal affair which decided'therate of the Colony-.
in the plain of Blaanwberg, on the Bth, had not Oc-
curred—to draw money from the extraordinary trea-,
sury:c hesi for the several placemen, wl lc h they. were
to restore if the Governor should succeed in expe!?:
ling the enemy ; and with the meaning, that if tlre:'•
Colony were subdued, the Asiatic PQIII3CIi shou-1,1

account. with them for that matey in some way or
tilhe Governor learnt these transactions for
the fitst.time, when.he returned to Cape Town on
the Ind of January, and it was the first of the diffi-
cult points in which his mediation was requested.
a I shall confine myself to the above explanatioh,
without being supposed to view, or_to have viewed,
this e& of the Civil Members of the Government of
the Cape as well planned and executed, but only
shewimg that their aims were honourable.

RATISBON, JULY is reported that M. OTT°,
Minister of France, will soon make a journey to Pa-,
ris ; a presumption which is, perhaps, founded only
on the departure of Madame OTTO, who has pro-
ceeded with all possible speed to thetapital of the
French Empire, to attend on one of her brothers,
who is dangerously ill ; but, as the public mind is
engaged with the Rene with England, and M. OTTO
was AmbasSador at London during the Negotiation
which led to the Treaty of Amiens, it may easily be
imagined what causes are assigned for his journey.
It is, however, uncertaj whether his departure has
ever been thought of.

A list of reforms proposed as the basis of the Con-
,
c'ordat between the Holy See and Germany is hand-
'ed about here; we are silent on this important sub-
jet ; bacause proposals are very different from De-
finitive Articles, and reports are frequently nothing
more than the opinions of people who ace not 'con-
sulted.

,Though the Diet has decreed that ifs long vaca-
tion shall continue till the month of Oalober, it has
been agreed, that if, in that interval, any important
Message on the part of Foreign PowerS, or of a
Member of the Germanic Body, should be addressed
to the Diet, the Ministers at Ratisbon should as-
semble, and take cognizance of the fa&, with the
usual for Ms. This precaution induces a still stronger
belief that some 'proposal
,of great moment will be'
submitted to the Diet. COnjeCtures on tills head
are carried to a great length. It is said 'that tlte-:fate
Of the city of Frankf6rt is to be•deeided, that it is to
be given to the Electoral Arch-Chancellor, and thus
to become the futire seat of the Diet.

A voluntary subscription for a bronze equestrian
statue of his Imperial and Royal Majesty, - to trans•
mit to posterity an imperishable pledge of the attach-
ment they bear to their august Sovereign, was open-
ed. on tile fAth of .March, by a great number of
distinguished inhabitants of'the department of the
Seine.
