The ELECTOR of CotoGNE, in -quality of Grand
Master: of the Teutonic Order, has settled on his
Assistant, the ARCHDUKE CHARLES, an annual re-
venue of Bo,oooil6rins.
The ARCHDUKE CHARLES is entirely recovered,
and is now in a much better. state of health than
for a long time past. A circumstance which did
not take place after the Treaty of 'Campo Formio,
and which proves the defMitive adherence of Austria
'to the Treaty. of ,Luneville, is the order sent to
Brussels by the ARCHDUKE CHARLES for. the sale
ofhis 'Property in Belgium, among which is the. su.

VENICE, -.NNE zo.-----The•General Government
has communicated to the StiPre-me Council of Revi..
sion. a Decree of His Imperial Majesty, dated the
5111- instant, appointing the Archduke CHARLES
Director of the. Marine in his new Provinces
in Italy, and in Istria, Dalmatia, arid Albania,
His Royal Hightiess, in concert with the Aulic
Chancery of Italy, has, in. consequence, charged his
Adjutant-General, Count DE GREUVILLE, Cham
b,!rtain of His Majesty, to procure all the necessary
information with regard to the state of the Airin.e,
and the materials for ship_building, in order to the.
or,..;anization of that branch of the service.

that the latter place had been emir. ty isolated from'

Troops. This the knew, -but it had not entered
into our imagination that this would have added to
the -security tit Alexandria. We besides neither
know, poi- Rio we believe, that MEN6U has in -Aleii-
aNdria proyision enough to support a siege. of ,seve:
ral jedrs.- Our Troops, we will -venture to assert,:
are neither so unskiiitti nor so patient as the GreekS.
betore Troy. .

We might be tempted to believe that the ma.
lady-of the Chief Consul, of which the. lase Paris
Papers informed us, is contagious in his family,, as
Madame BONAPARTE goes to the Bathsaf Plone,
bieres : her hitless, hOwever, we may suppose, is
the same which.was last year on The point of sending
heft! to Spa, and which has this year sent TALLEY-
-kAND to the waters of Bourbon di Areliambauld.—
We suspel-that FOVC.HE and his Party are the real
cause of the indisposition, and the journey of these
personages.

According to a Letter from Messina, of the 27th
of May, a French Squadron of Four Ships of the
Line, two Frigates, two Brigs, and two Transports,
had paSsed the Straits of Pharos, and were procee&
ing to 'Brindisi there to join three Neapolitan. Fr-
igates, intended for, the service of •the Republic.
The latter. part of this statement .seems to us not
very probable. Whatever may have been .the
ture of the Treaty which his Sicilian Majesty has
been forced-to conclude with the French Republic,.
we rat-her think that in this rendezvous at .Brindes
there is some other objet, that of preparing a de-
scent in Albania, or the Morea, either to avenge
the cruelties pretended to hai',e been exercised there
two years ago-by the PACHA of JANINA, on a small
French Corps, or, which is more probable, to seek
fresh indemnities for the loss of Egypt, or else to
carry into effeet some secret Article of the' Treaty
of Luneville. The newinsurreetion of PAsswAs
OGeou, which has incessantly, for these many
years past, been secretly advised and supported by
the French, appears to give-probability to the plan
of an Expedition which has been publicly talked .01 at
Paris. The Chief Consul has never abandoned the
idea of revolutionizing Turkey in Europe. It may
be.recolleCied, that in his Proclamation to his Army
at the opening of the Campaign of 1797, he spoke
of the little distance which separated them from
Macedonia. •

family of Mr. Stevenson, executed this Will in
favour of Mr. Stevenson; in the-Month of February,

that her 'body shotild be -'kept JO' daysafter her
death, without interment, &c. and containing seye-
ral other peculiarities.
The old. Lady died about a' twelvemonth after
-the-execution of this Will, and it was proved in the
Comniona the day following her death.
MN Steyenwn,thp elder, took possession Of this
Estate, and the'younger'mr. Stevenson married this
young .woman, Batty B ding, who,li id-this Le_

Mrs..zßobinson, if she hid died inteState, raid claim
to" this Estate, alledging; Thai ihis Will was
tained by . the. most iniquitous fraud that could, he
conceived.- •Thar it Was brought about by a con:
„..
spiracy bctWeen :the elder-Mr.. Stevenson, and an
Attorney,. and hiS Clerk, .Who were= employed to
draw out a Will, and- prepare, it in favour of the
family 'of Mr. Stevenson,, to die exclusion of, the
family of Mrs. Robinson. TlCat
_they carried- this
purpose into effea, in the following Manner—Mr.
Gale, , akrAttorney, in .Philpot-lane, and Mr.
Humphries, his Clerk, prepared this Will,-and the
citier.Mr. Stevenson devised a plan, by. Which they, ,
and a persOn of the -name of Cooperson, her :nephew,..
then ie-iding in her house, ;Ind a6ting as a Servant,
_should go down to Bronipton to this.old Lady, and
to get her into a state of intoxication, or stupidity,
she being much •addided to drinking, and to get her
to execute this- Will when she was unconscious of
what, she was' about, and then
_.theyshould suhscrib:.
.their names as Witnessss. to:it,. and so- they should
gain this Estate.. Thai, far this, purpose; Mr.
Gale, "the: At:tOrney, and his Clerk; Mr.. Hum-
phries, having 1-repaied this. Will, in due form,
went down' to 13rOmpton, in the,morith of February
1785, raking'VVith them Cooperson„ the servant of.,
Stevenson. That they arrived there about
four o'clock in the afternoon, staid at an Inn until:
near eleven-it night, and then Went "in and laid this
instrument before the old Lady; who made one
attempt to sign it, but could not ; , and -ihat.. then
Mr. Gale took the pen out. of her. Band, iand again -
put it back into her hand, and then; putting her
hand into his; guided it over, and ',71-ote 'the name •
of Mary 'Robinson; and .then, they took it away
from her; and Ordered 'Coopersonto'write his name
as a Witness to it, which he did, not, at that time,
knowing what it was, That before the old Lady
.had had her hand thus guided, the names of Mr.
Gale .and Mr. Humphries; were written to it, and
before it was laid. before -her. 'fbai'she.appeared to
be Perlealy, stupid; and -knew nothing of hat she
was about, and that it was taken' away from' her
immediately. That, afterwards, Mr: Gale; and,
hisrclerk, Mr.-klumphries, and the Other' Witness,
CoOperson, came -tip- to London. -Cooperson sta:d
, a-while in -the family. of Stevenson, on arid 'vff--L-liad
feW shirts given to ltirn for: his 'trouble. in this job:
but -was.afterwards discharged from the family; on
account of .a quarrel- he -had with the elder -Mr.
...Stevenson, who would -not consent to - his being
mirried! to, a young woman, who lived servant in
Cheapside.-That he. did Marry her, ,•and became
distressed, and-'reduced to the -shift Of carrying
about a Show, and to sell Matches, 'and. was several
times in the Work-house,That• having- mentioned.
.this story about. the execution of the 'Will, to a
'Person of tire name of Hobbs,-it, some how or other,
some months ago,'came to the car of Mr. Walker,
who, a long -while, made inanities, in vain;-for
Cooperson, that at last, as-he was walking,up to-
wards Hampstead,- with his s':CW: box upon his
back, and his. wife with him, a person Caine up to
him and asked .him if his' was not Cooperson
to which he answered " yes," tvolvhicit. he
• brought to Londot', and taken to the Chambers of
Mr.. Bromley, of Clifford's Inn, Mr; Walker's At-
torney, and was. ever since supported, Chiefly, by.
Mr. Walker, he working now for a,persen.to‘-diom
he was recommended. by Mr. Walker. Such Was.
-the story which. was now related by- Timothy. Coo,
person, for he swore it t-ie.w in Court, and in the
delivering of which, he interspersed- several little.
circumstances calculated to give it the' air ofproba-
bility...

Upon, the strength of this story of Cooperr,on's,•
Mr. Walkier brought his ejetlincnt to recover this
estate-from Mr. Stevenson, The cause was -Some.
time ago" tried before-Lord ELDON, and a SPeeial.
Jury of Merchants in Guildhall, when a verdia was`
found for Mr. Walker, and against the validity of.
the Will.
The present case was a Counter,ejetlment, frig
the purpose of re-establishing, the Will. "The cause,
was incksr ably coniluCted.hy TvJr. ERSKiNE and Mr.
•GARI2OW, &c. on the part of the Plaintiff;- and
the ATTORNEY GRNERAL'aII4.I Mr.- GIBII§, &c„for

this Will was fiirly executed by this 'elderly' lady,
or was brought about by. a foul conspiracyl.?ither
there was a foul and blaCk. conspiracy in. getting.
this , Will rnadc‘., or a foul and infamous•conspiracy

.In support ,of the Will; it appeared, that Mr.:
