FROM THE FRENCH PIPE ,S,

FRAN,KFORT., AUG. 27.—As.this 'City is to become
the centre of German politics, it is naturalhat
'sorts of reports should originate here, and'betnOre
or less credited in "proportion as theyf' appear :to.
well-informed men to be more or less:conforthable
to the intentions which a great MOnarch -has mani-
fested, for the establishment of a permanent order of
things in this country, so long in a state of disorder.
The following statement is circulated relatii,e to the
new States which are to enter into the Confederation
of the Rhine :

The Ele&or of HESSE CASSEL: to cede to the
Grand Duke of HESSE DAItMSTADT the county of
Hanau, and several Bailiericks of Upper Hesse ; to
receive in exchange the Quarter of Gottingen -(in'
the Principality or Calenberg, in the Elegrate of
Hanover), L'Eichleld, the Principality of Pader-
born, and the .Sovereignty of Fulda. Waldeck,
Correy Lippe, and other small, States, to take the
title of King, and to accede to the Federation of the.
Rhine.

The Grand Duke of BERG to receive the Dutchy
of Westphalia (which the Grand Duke. of HESSE
DARMSTADT is to cede in exchange for the county of
Hanau), the county of Mark, and the Prussian part
of the ci-levant Bishoprick of Munster. He will
thus have more than a Million ofsubjeas.
The Principalities of Osnaburgh, Lingen, Teck.,
lenburgh, Itavensberg, and Minden, to form a new
Grand Dutchy, in favour of the Duke of MECK
BURGH, who cedes hi's States to the King of PRUSSIA.
This Grand Dutchy will hear the ancient name of
Engrie.
The Duke of OLDENBURGH to receive the Prim'',
talities of Hoya and Diepholtz; the Prince of AREM-
ERG that of Os-Trise.

The Principality of Bayreuth to be inaorporated
With the Kingdom of Bavaria; &c.. &c.
The result of ail these changes will be to separate
the territory of the Confederation of•the Rhine, by
natural and military limits, from the territories of
Prussia and Austria: These limits will be, to the
South and East, those established between Bavaria
and Austria by the Treaty of Preshurgh ; -then a
line from Lgra, in Bohemia, following the, course
of the Rivers between, Franconia and Saxony, to
the environs of Muhlhausen ; , from thence a sort
of military line round by the Kingdom of Hesse
fb Holzmunden, on the Weser ;. and lastly, the
Course of that river until it empties itself into the
North Sea.

The population of the Confederate :States, in
the event of these additions will amount to ten

This intelligence, however, must only be taken
as it is, that is to say, as conjeEture, perhaps incon-
gruous, of a vast Plan which is at present the ob-
je& of Negotiation between a Northern PoNVer and
the powerful Prote&or of Germany. It appears
evident, however, from the position, of this City,
that it would not have been chosen as the centre
'of the Contederation of the Rhine if it had, not
beiu e'xpeeted that the Confederation would embrace
Iteise and Westphalia.
• The depot of Prussian recruits which was stationed
tit Neuwied has 'quitted that town, in consequence
a the injuation made respe6ting it.

PARIS.

FROM THE iitGITS, OF TUESDAY, SEPT. 2.

The Morning Post said, some days ago, that it
was not probable the present Ministry could ever
consent to Wake the English Nation descend from
the degre of pbwer and glory to which it had risen,
fák as to return tO the conditions of the Treaty of
AMiens. This strange language is either an excess
of extravagance; or an afThir of calculation. That
judicious Writer sh*Ould have taken the.,qouble to
explain in
,what, and hoW, England is beOme' more
powerful Since the rupture of the Treaty of Amiens.
He vonld thereby have carried to the hearts,of tate
Englishmen a consolation *of which they are in.
great want ; he should have laid open to. those
. blind men the fleurishit)cr situation which they can-
. i)bth!AieVe, and which they enjoy unknown to them-
Selves. We'are Obliged to make up for his .
bift here the eommentary-Wilkomewhpt differ from
the. text:

r` Upon recurring to the political Writings of thd
tithes; the opiniouS of the MintsterS, and the Speeches
frOtri the Throne, we see that England considered as
the foundation of her greatness arid the source of
flier .•
riches, iches, the influence she exercised upon the
taiinent, the commercial connexions: she had in
. ithStatei, and the confidential relations she kept up
in its Cabinets. If the people grew 'clamorous
against a War both fruitless and devoid of objea ;
• if public Confidence grew Weak—no better means
could be found to encourage the One and to raise
the other than to promise the speedy co-operation
of Some Allies on the Continent. This hope haS
more than once raised the dropping spirits of the
Nation, and supported the credit of Alinistcrg.: But
• this resource is nth loSt—it has ,vanished like a
dream. , There rein ins. at- this day no more to
Etiglind on the Continent but declared enemies or

impotent friends. A single wish of the Eriiperor of
the French *ill suffice to repel frorri the Countries
tubmitted to his influence both English' agents arid
English tnerchandize. Enlightened politicians have
thoUght, that;,On cenclu6itig the Treaty of Amiens,
the Engliih Cabinet, yielding, to necessity, prated
from that intiment this famous Treaty of concert,
the eternal Monument of its shame, because SO fatal to
the Allies *lioM it deceived: We 'are not disin-
clined to believe it. When; indeed, it placed so
Much importance on its confidential relations; when
it promised so much rtiOneY and so great sacrifices
to set Europe on tire, it must have been convinced
of its insufficiency to resist France; and of the neces=
sity of having supporters. It had then, or at least it
thought it had, engaged in its cause Russia; Turkey,
Germany, a part of Italy, &c. It placed its most
sanguine hopes in this Confederacy. Would one
have thought, that, after having lost them, England

would find herself in a more favourable position than
before ?

No doubt it can only be the maritime situation
of England which inspires some of her writers with
so much pride. But this Power is much less for.
minable to her Enemy than onerous to, herself. It

can change nothing, in tbe state of the question. It
is a vain phantom which has nothing fixed, which •
presents nothing cousoling,:which ptibrds.nn secu-
rity for the future, which is vagueinowtain, and,
a..;::ated, like the element upon WhiWit stands.

This POW can be of no furtlaJr infejudiee to France
.than to interrupt for a inom d
en,t her% colonial rel 7
tions, and to enhance for her inhabitants the price
of commodities which they cannot do without, and
with which every English merchant is hilusel
terested. that they shall be supplied. The fac,ility
with which this constraint leas been borne for up-
wards of twelve years past is a proof cif the weak-
ness of such a means of attack. There, however,
result from it, for French industry, advantages which
this is not the place to lay. open. In this commer-
cial War :England has more expellees to bear and
less prohta,to make. Upon properly considering
the principle of power, one would find a prodigious
difference between successes obtained by land and
the most shining maritime vi Tories ; the formeraf-
ford solid advantages—the latter present only equi—
vOcal results : the history of all ages proves it, and
that of the late War confirms it in a more striking
manner: On the one hand we see France quietly
reaping the fruits of her courage, and of the genius
of her Emperor,-extending and.consolidating her al-
liances, irrevocably founding the system which best,
accords with her glory, with her tranquillity, as well
asthat of all. Europe. Her strength is within her-
self, and nothing can change her fortune. Mole sua
stat. On the other hand we see England, after
many Maritime victories, having yet only an uncer-
tain and problematical existence. She can only
do a slight, injury to the Enemy who menaces her
with a mortal blow. The effed which one should
expedt from viaories is safety ; England can en-
joy none but by Peace. The French Navy, which
she always thinks she has annihilated, continually
rises again, and gives her every moment un-
foreseen blows. Ue trade of England has just
been attack-6'rib 171 the seas of the world.
Now that her power is no longer founded on the
expeaation of her having Allies on the Continent,
England has lost every thing which presented to her
a shadow of hope and safety. And when all the
nations of kurope. are combined against her, what
will be her resource ? This combination cannot be
compared to the combinations uselessly organized
against France; as the cause and the means are qUite
unsimilar, the results must be totally different.—
France must
,attain her end, because she is the
primum mobile, the necessary agent, the central point
ron.ud_which all the Planets revolve, because the in-
terest of the Allies will be common, and their ad-
vantages reciprocal. England bad no. such, guaran-
tee to give. Accordingly
,her situation is very far
from being so 'favourable as it was at the period of
the Treaty of Amiens.. But tcl. refute them is, per=
hap., giving. too much importance to arguments of
which the Authors themselves feel all the ridicule.
This_pride can impose..upon nobody—it is the.ass,
clad :n the lion's skin.. The secret aim of these
political impertinences is to frighten the Ministry;
if they yield to these popular terrors, .we most sin-
cerely pity a Country wherein the licenciousness of
the press is produdive of such effects."

PARIS, SEPT. 3.—Letters from Lisbon of the 16th
of August, state, that on the 14th five Ships of
the Line and a - Frigate, belonging 'to the Fleet of
Lord. ST. Vmcm, entered the Tagus, and that
several other English Men of War were off the
mouth of the Rivet\ It is not known wiiat,can be
the meaning of this proceeding of the English, who,
at the same time that they have the air of respecting
the letter of Treaties, violate the neutrality of Por-
tugal.; but .the same letters of the 16th announce,
that the Spanish Ambassador and the French Chargé
d'Affaires have demanded of the Cabinet of Lisbon
an explanation of this unforeseen event. It is not
doubted but that they will quit the City should they
not receive an answer which may satisfy the Courts
they represent.—(Journal del'Empirc.)

nor of the. Camp, retains the place which it before
occupied. It is rendered remarkable by its height,
by.:the,trees and the verdure. which surround it, by
the wooden buildings serving for kitchens, and par-
Ocularly by the tents of the General. Officers which
'are in its neighbourhood.
Prince BORGIfESE, Governor of the Camp, gave a

The Queen of Holland arrived at 'Aix-la-Cha-

PAIII;; SEPT. 4.—A French journal of yesterday
published that an English Squadron entered the
Tagus on the 14th ult. and that several other-Men: of
War were then olf the mouth of the River. It is
not irrelevant to obServe, that this-expedition was
some time ago announced by the English Journals
but in too vague a manner to engage: our attention
at that moment. This entetprize, contraryto • the
laws of Neutrality, would be to all intents and pur-
poses an invasion by force of arms. It is, however,
easier to conceive the injustice of it; than to per-
ceive what reasonable obje& it can have. Can it
be to defend Portugal, against whom-neither-France
nor Spain was making any demonstration Of attack ?
—ls it a consequence of that system so tong pursued
by the English Cabinet, -to increase the calamities of
war, both without necessity and without advantage
to themselves ?—Or possibly another design more fatal
to the Portuguese?—This is mystery which tiMe
alone will clear up, and then only shall we be•able
to say any thing further upon it. It is indeed na.
tural to defend one's Allies as long as the War sub-
sists ; bat is it very politic or very loyal to ektet..d .its
flames with one hand, whilst with the-other one is
labouring to allay them ?

According to a letter from Munster, the Prussian
Regiments of Wedel and Scladen arrived on the

public from all conversation on political affairs.
NAPLES, AUG. s.—. Some time since the inha-
bitants of Vesuvius have foreseen that it will -not be
long before a new efuption takes place. They hear
frequently, and several timesein a day, those noises
in the monntaih which are to them signs of an ap-
proaChing convulsion. - The eruptions, when cori:•,
pared with the lava§ of the more•ancient eruptions;
are not so great as they have been, and this dirninii-
(ion will proceed in proportion as the internal fires
.become weaker, and as the matter which feeds them
is consumed. Every thing announces that VestiviuS
is in its old age, and that this last remains of all the
Volcanos Which have burnt in this'COuntry will

period.

Upper Garonne, and a multitude of mothers now.

that they would not have lost their children if they •
.had not neglected .or refused to vaccinate them.--..
This example, which is a great and terrible.le.sson,
will, we hope, produce a salutary effea in the
Department of Landes ; and. that the Mayors and
.Adjunets, the Cur6s, the well4nforthed• •Propyle-
'tors, the Physicians, Surgeons, and Officers of
Health, will renew their efforts, in order that those
children who have not had the small pox may be
all vaccinated . without exception. The repcirts
which have been made •by a great number of Phy-
sicians, Surgeons, and Officers of Health in -the
three distrias, prove beyond. a doubt that vaccine
inoculation is a gift of Providence.; that all the op -
rations have been equally successful ; that the chi],
dren who have
.been vaccinated. during the greater
part of summer have not experienced any accident,
and that they all enjoy good health. •
