SEPTEMBER It.

The clay before yesterday was a day rendered im-
portant to this City by the Eleftion of a Prince
Bishop. The Chapter assembled at nine in the
morning to proceed to the Elcetion. About ten
His Excellency the Com Missioner of Elea*, at-
tended by a train of the Nobility in twenty car-
ri3ges, proceeded from the
,Palace to the Cathedral,
where, under a canopy prepared for them in the
choir, they waited the formal declaration that the
Eleaion had fallen on His Royal Highness the Arch-
duke ANTHONY VICTOR ; in whose name His Ex-
cellency Baron VON '.',PIEOEL, as Plenipotentiary
of. the •new eleited Prince, accepted the Eledion.
Te Deum was then performed, and the train returned
in the same order to the Palace.

The Count VON WE4TI' H AI, will shortly:leave.
this City, to go, as :is surposed, to A.brensberg,
where the Eleaiwa of an Eledor of Cologne IS fixed
fur the 7th of Oaober. .

MENTZ, Stir. S.

• THE exportation of corn upon the Rhine is far-
bidden, even to Prussia] Subjeas ; on which ac-
count the Government in Westphalia has-entered a
protestation. The resident of His Prussian. Majesty
came hither from Fratzkf6ri to make representations
on the subjea. In the written. remonstrance of
another German Court, among other things, it is
,said; that " the French Legation .at Rgstadt, on the
14th of Floreal, of the year 6, had formaiiy admitted
the right of the German Nation to a free Navigation
on the Rhine, which right was accepted by the
Deputation of the Empire on the z4.th-of May, 1798;
that the Peace of Luneville had not abolished tiiis
right,- but rather reestablished all the political re-
lations then adjusted ; and that France surely could
not mean to conclude a Peace and violate it at the
same time."-

HAGUE, Szrr. 12.

THE reduEtion of the number. of French Troops
in our Republic, which has so long been wished for
the relief of our Finances, is at length dete{inined
on. The 25,000 men which have hitherto been in
our pay, will be reduced to tO,OOO, as about the
end of Odober-15,000 men will be withdrawn from
our Republic. The remaining Troops will be com-
manded by a French General of Division, probably
General VICTOR, and three Generals of Brigade,
among others the esteemed General OsTEDr.

The French Garrison in the Hague will only con-
sist of about zoo men.

It is generally believed that the British Govern-
ment has.given its consent to the prolonged occupa-
tion of the territory of Hanover by 'the Prussian
TrooPs, and that M. VON RHEIAN will again go
as Hanoverian Minister to..Berl;n.
The following is an extra& of a letter from Paris ;
" Though the reports relative to the Negotiations
for Peace between 'England and our Republic, are
extremely various, it seems extremely_ probable
that these Negoiations have now taken a more
favourable turn. The account in the Mattheur of
the holding•an extraordinary Council of State, at
which the First Consul presided ; the Conferences
between the Minister for Foreign Affairs and the
Envoys from Vienna and Petersburgh ; and the fre-
quent arrival and &pat tu;-e of Dispatches from and
to London, give reason to believe that the Nego-
tiation is now concluded with more seriousness.—
All these circumstances have had an influence on the
Funds, which have risen t 0,48."

LOWER RHINE, SEPT. U.

TR t Prussian Privy-Dircaorial-councillor, M.
VON Do 11 m, has sent from Hamm a Courier to Berlin.
It is said, he will re_pair to Ahrensberg, to mike re,
presentations there against the eleaion of an Eledor
of Cologn.
Five squadrons of Prussian Hussars have received
orders to break up from the vicinity of Wesel, and
approach the territory, of Munster. There is likewise
a report of the march of Batavian troops.

HAERLEM, SErr. 12.

IN our Courant of the loth, is the following
article; dated Berlin, Sept. i :—" We are again
assured that the Negotiations that have been for
some time carried on between the Batavian Pleni-
potentiaries and those of Nassau, approach to a con-
clusion. The open and, amicable manner in which
both parties have a6led in this affair, is greatly ex-
tolled. It appears to be agreed that the PR INCE of
ORANGE shall receive the Bishoprics of Wurtzburg
and Bamberg for an indemnification ; Prussia, among
other things, tvill receive that part of the Bishop-
ric of Munster which lies on the right bank of, the
Rhine, and the part on the left will be allotted to
the Batavian Republic. In this manner will be ful_
filled the Prussian Convention of the sth of August,
1796,"
