OCTOBER 17.

As the Post was going out, the Oireaory caused
the acceptance of the New Constitution to be pro-
claimed by sound of trumpets through all the streets,
a betaehment of Cavalry attending. The folloW--
LI is the Proclamation : •

B AT AVIA NS-,

" The plan of a Constitution which our duty a:"..d
Tile knowledge of your true interest obliged us to
lay before you, has been accepted : out of the
456,459 whose names were given into us as entitled
to vote, only 52,219 have voted for its rejeaion.
ly far the greater part of the Nation have therefore
given an unequivocal proof of their coinciding with
bs in sentiments relative to the principles and form
Of tilt future Constitution.
" There can, therefore, no longer be any doubt
'3l your wish and choice, since nothing prevents
YOU from expressing them. Every thing in the
Constitution which was a restraint upon you, we
have removed. Tranquillity will now reign perpe-
-Nally amidst you, since, you have deliberated and
Confirmed your choice ; and though we have used
every exertion to prevent your being misled by the
ignorant and prejudiced, we have not had recourse
to 'force, or intimidation, to compel the acceptance
of a' Constitution which you might consider as de-
trimental to your interests.
T` At length a new order of things is, with
Your consent, established, and in which you have
all, without distindion of rank or opinion, been
able to co-operate ; and if ever a plan of such im-
Pt)rtance was carried into died under fortunate au.
6PiCeS, it is this.

" While you were employed in establishing a
Wise and moderate Constitution, conformable to
Your natural charater and manners, and conducive
t 0 Your happiness, security and welfare, the founda-
tions
have been laid abroad,. of a Peace which em_
braces
all the Countries and Seas of Europe, and
the most distant parts of the World ; which enables
tortured humanity again to breathe, and affords youla
distant prospea of reaping the fruits of your fidelity
and perseverance, the reward of all your numberless
Sacrifices.

" Batavians, be happy in the Constitution which
You have accepted, .and-confirm it by your virtues
and unity. We shall immediately, according to
The loth article of this Constitution, nominate
seven Citizens, who, with five others, chosen. by
Them, shall form the Council of State of the
Batavian Republic, that the new Constitution may
be carried into effca as speedily as possible, agree-
ablY to your wishes.
`` The Direaory commands that this Proclama7
°rt shall be made public, and affixed in all the
dual Places.
Given at the Hague, the 16th of Oaober,

'text week the. New Government will be orga-
nized according to the New Constitution, and the
t
ireaory be succeeded by the Council of State.
l'he twelve Members of this Council are already
'lPPointed, and besides the three Direftcrs HA ER-
vC3LTR) PYMANN, and Br zi ER, the .Representatives
0" LEWN, HOOGSHATE, and LEA. E, and three
rangists, members of the late Stadtholdcriari Go-
v rn
Mein, have been chosen.

The Minister of Marine has given orders, that
a part of the Batavian Naval Force will be put out
of aftual service.
Admiral DE WINTER has sent dire6lions to the
Commandant of the Road of the Texel, that if any
English Cruizers come in there, they shall be re-
ceived as friends.

At Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and Dort, Ships
have already arrived with cargoes from England.

It is said that a declaration has been made at
Berlin, on the part of Austria, that as little as pos-
sible shall be secularized ; that in the Indemnifi_
cations, regard shall be principally had to the most
considerable Princes, and that on the part of Aus-
tria, notwithstanding the Elations of Munster
and Cologn, of which so much has been said, no
opposition will be made to the Secularization. On
the side of Prussia, on the other hand, the asser-
tion has been repeated, that each Prince shall be
indemnified in proportion to the loss he shall have
sustained by the occupation of the Left Bank of the
Rhine by the French.

BRUSSELS, Ocr.

THE Minister of the Interior has sent orders to
-Amiens, to make every requisite preparation for
the reception of the Ministers of the Congress
which is to meet there: The Garrison of Amiens
will be very numerous, and commanded by a dis.
tinguished General. Citizen CHAPPE has received
dire-aions to erect a line of Telegraphs between Pa..
ris and Amiens. It is supposed that within
less than a. month, all the Ministers who are to
meet at the Congress of Amiens will have ar-
rived there. We are assured that they will con-
sist of Plenipotentiaries from England, France,'
Spain, Russia, the Ottoman Porte, and the Bata..
vieen Republic.

PRIFATE CORR4'SPONDENCE.

aREMERLEHE, OCT. 21.

TB 7i. Signing of the Preliminaries of Peace has
'made a striking impression-in this part of the Coun-
try, and has already produced very beneficial effeds.
The price of provisions became imniediately lower-
Within three days after the intelligence arrived,
Wheat fell 6o dollars the last ; before a week
elapsed, it had fallen zoo ; and it is now at one.
half of the price at which it was sold in the first
days of this month, when there existed no expeeta_
don of Peace being so near.
An attempt was made to counterad, for a short
time, these most desirable effeas ; and a report was
circulated, with all the air of authenticity, that
the French Minister Orro had exceeded his
struetions, and that the First Consul had refused to
ratify the Preliminaries ; but the arrival of the ink
telligence from Paris, of the extreme .satisfaCtion
with whiCh the Peace was publicly and officialy
announced, easily defeated these malignant en-
deavours.

The Official return made at the Mansion-house of
Grain imported last week was as follows

To prove that a combination and much unfair
dealing prevail somewhere, in keeping up the price
of Bread, we need only mention'What happened at
Windsor on Friday and Saturday last :—On the
former day an honest fellow wgra out with his cart
into the town, filled with quartern loaves, which
he offered for sale at gd. each. A hue and cry was
naturally excited against the intruder, who was
taken up on the score of non.freemanship. The
townspeople were anxious to protea him; and after
a Stria examinatio❑ of the weight and quality, he
was set at liberty, and under the authority of the
MA ax, sold his bread throughout Saturday, at
this reduced price.
At Rumford Fair last Thursday very good fowls
were sold for fburteen pence each.
On Friday, at the close of the market at Smith-
field, soo oxen were drove out unsold, because the
butchers would not give the enormous high price de-
manded for them.

Potatoes are so extremely plentiful, that in some
parts of Bedfordshire they have bcen sold for six
fence a bushel.
The unfortunate young Lady who fell over the
Cliffs at Ramsgate, was the amiable Miss LouISA
GuEv is, of a very ancient family. She was second
daughter to CHARLES GREY'S, Esq. the immediate
descendant of Sir RICHARD GREVIS, who was
Gentleman of the Bed-Chamber to KING JAMES I.
and KING CHARLES I. once the richest family in
the County of Worcester, and remarkable for their
misfortunes.

Miss BAxTEß..died at Shrewsbury last week: of a
decline. She was the last of.five sisters, I*.'ho,
within a short period, have fallejf viaims to tile
same complaint. .;
. Miss E. KING of Beceles, a young lady of about
2o , although enjoying perfect health, was for some.
months past affliaed with a presentiment that she
would shortly die: her health however, continued
good until a feiv evenings ago, when she I.‘ as taken
ill, and expired next morning.
At the Quarter Sessions held at Louth J. Parker,
a Farmer of considerable property, was convkted of
stealing beans frcAn a stack belonging to Mr. jcssbp,
of Cauthorpe, and was sentenced to be transported
for the term of seven years.

It is the intention of the GoVernment, Citizen
Prefect, that the Societies, known by the name of
Theophilanthropists, shall no longer hold their meet-

order you to carry this intention into effect. I shall
report to it upon the means you adopt to accomplish
it, of which I request you will give me an exact

FOUCIIE:

We read in several Journals a speech purporting
to have been made by Citizen BoußpotNo, Minis-
ter of the Republic at Stockholm. This speech ap-
pears to have been altered in several passages.—
Citizen Boußoo I NG, who has been long employed
in a diplomatic capacity, knows tan well that a
French Ambassador ought not, deliberately, in ad.
dressing a Foreign Power, to abuse a portion of the
French People. But the Journalists who made this
alteration, are not obliged to know as much as he
upon this point.—Monit6vr.
BOULOGNE, OCT. I S.—Gen. LATOUCH
V ILLE set off this morning for Paris, whither he
has been directed to repair by the Government, who
destine him for another command ; he is accompa-
nied by Citizen JEROME BONAPARTE, who is to
serve under him. Since LATOUCH has been at
Boulogne, he has lived as a real Soldier, under the
hut which he caused to be built at the head of his
camp at Tour d'Ordre. He carries with him the
esteem and regreet of all who have served under him,
and of all classes of Citizens.

whO are'friendly to the French, And they arg,nume-
rous, begin to regain their influence. The Divan
has been too well taught by public misfor:une,
that it was wrong in dissolving its alliance with
France, for reasons that were absolutely foreign to
it : but it was obliged to yield to imperious cir:
cumstances. It now repents of the weakness that
it has manifested towards distant rebels, who, dis.'
regarding treaties and capitulations, and incited by
the rivals and enemies of France, harrassed the com-
mercial agents of that nation ; insulted those who
were under its protection, and offered its friendship
only to new connections, or even confirmed enemies.
The Divan recollects with concern, that it has often
refused to its allies the French, that which it ac-
corded with too much readiness to others. But it
relies on the generosity and good faith of your
Government, and the Peace will not 'be a subjed of
difficulty, I.),:cause the popular voice demands it
here, and the people always preserve their' inclina-
tion tow:,rds the French.

STOCKHOLM, SEPT. 29.—The following is a
Copy of the Speech made by Citizen BOURGOING,
at the first audience he received from his Swedish
Majesty :
" SIRE,

" After five years' interruption of relations,
which should be as permanent as the motives on
which they are founded, I feel proud in having
been sent to your Majesty to draw closer those ties
which a circumstance of a fugitive nature might for
a moment relax, but which nothing could ever burst
asunder.

" In vair did Europe, almost universally in arms
against the French Republic, smile upon those ap-
pearances of coldness, and make them the ground
of a portion of their hopes. A few explanations
were sufficient to dissipate those light clouds, and
to reconcile two States which a nominal difference
in their constitutions ought not to prevent from
coining to an understanding, or from courting the
alliance of each other.

" And what are the causes which should any
longer prevent a junftion reciprocally desired ?
That epoch, dreadful to all Governments, and ever
to the majority of Frenchmen themselves, at which
the French Republic in the first trial of its strength
seemed to threaten every State" with invasion, and
at which.every thing that was not new was regarded
as illegitimate, has passed away.
" The present new phasis, Sire, of the French
Revolution will be the last. Henceforth we will
honour virtue wherever we discover it. We shall
principally honour it. on the throne ; because it is
more difficult to exercise when in the• possession. of
great power. 'We do not conceive it to be a de-
rogation from our principles to present the homage
of our regard to a sovereign who inherits a name
which has long received the tribute of universal. ap-
plause ; to a King who, at an. age when passion is
'generally predominant, is aftuated only by a love
of justice ; whose example is every moment a living
lesson of morality ; with whom politics will never
be an art of deception, nor morals a chimera ; who
spews himself so worthy of the sovereign authority
with which he is invested, by the dominion he ex..
ercises over himself.

The Government, which has appointed me the
interpreter of its sentiments to your, Majesty, in
virtue of these full powers, (presenting. his ore,
dentials to the King,) will not disaVow the first use
which I make of them; particularly when I address
mySelf to the Head of a nation, which has always
been the ally of France, frequently emulous of imi-
tating it, but never its rival ; of a nation in which
we were gratified at • all times to discover several
traits of resemblance to ourselves ; and more than
ever since we have performed the career. in which
she preceded us ; and above all; since, like her,
though by different means, we. have resolved a
grand political problem, in combining public liberty
with the energy and affeetion of the Gavel n-
tnent,"
