SEPTEMBER 15.
The French Minister, Citizen BACKER, has de-
livered in to-day the fullowing extract from _his last
Dispatches :

4'Fir a, Sept. 4

" As it is fit that at Ratisbon. there should be no
uncertainty with respell to the patticular views of
the French Government, the Chief Consul gives
you now the commission to declare to the Members
of the Diet, in the Most determined manner, that
the French Government is astonished' at the delay of
the execution of the 7th Article of the Treaty of'
Luneville ; and that it considers it as a dAty to.de-
mand of the Diet to declare itself definitively in
what manner the Indemnities of the Princes who
have suffered are to he ikijusted
The Diredorial Body returned for answer, that
the affair had hitherto been carried forward with as
much dispatch as the forms of the Diet and the
Constitution of the Empire permitted.
In the Deputation of the Diet 'for the arrange-
ment of the Indemnities, the Ecclesiastical States,
the Courts and Imperial Cities, will take no part.
It is said that the Deputation will not meet at Ra-
tisbon, but at some other place under the presidence
of an Imperial Plenipotentiary.

The Paella of Belgrade has not escaped, it is
said, but continues a close prisoner. Before the
Porte knew of his misfortune, it sent him a Fir_
man, appointing him to the, dignity of Seraskier.—
The Firman being presented to him by his jailors
the Janissaries, with a, demand of tso purses, as a
gratuity for the conveyance of such a high prefer-
ment, the unhappy Pacha made therm a present of
the Firman ; but the Janissaries persisting' in their
demand, he pointed out to themAyplace where he
had secreted a casket of jewels, vhich he desired,
them to carry to the Austrian fortress of Semlin
and pledge it for the amount of the'sunrthey exacted.
•The Janissaries did so ; .but a Greek merchant re.
fugee, who heard of it; immediately applied to the
Government, stating, that the Pacha owed him
zo,ooo piastres, upon which the casket of jewals
was detained.

MAIL 011.OUGH-STR,2 fi T. Monday Elizabeth
Belgr;:,ve was fully committed for trial by NATH A_
xtIRL CONANT, Esq. on a charge of robbing James
Stewa!r; of five Sol. Bank, of England Notes.
Mr. Stewart stated, that on Friday night last
the Prisoner; a girl of the town, came up to him in
Oxford-road; and prevailed upon'- him to accompany
her to her lodgings, No; 71, CaStlestreet, Oxford_
market ; that being' very much intoxicated, he
consented; and passed the whole of that night, and
the greater part of the next day with her. That
shortly after 'he had taken his leaVe, he discovered
that he had been 'robbed of five tol. Notes, part of
1761. which he had received from a Banker in
Lombard-street. He had eleven 101. Notes when
he entered the Prisoner's lodgings, and only six
were remaining in his pocket-book when he left
her. He went back and accused her of robbing
him : at first she denied any knowledge of the
Bank Notes, but shortly after confessed she had
(changed two tot. Notes that she had 'found after
He was gone, and had purchased a gown and some
stockings of a tradesman in Leicester-fields. She
then gave him 41. which she said was all she
had left.

An Officer, who apprehended the Prisoner, said
he could find none of the Notes in her lodging, nor
could he learn from her any account respeaing those
two she had changed, and had ret-urned 141. of to
the Prosecutor, which afterwards she expreSsed her-
self sorry for doing ; adding, that if he, the Pro-
sectror, had not been a crying snivelling fellow,
she would not have given him a farthing.
The Prisoner in her defence ,aid, that she had
found two iol. Notes on the sofa after the Gentle-
man Was gone ; that at first she thought they were
forged ones, but calling on her maid to counsel
what was best to be done, she determined on laying
them out, observing, " That a find was a find,
and no one could hurt her for it."—She was not
certain, she said, that the Notes were Mr. Stewart's,
as a man of great opulence from the city had slept
with her the night before, who had 2501. in Notes
about him; and. he was as likely to have dropped
them as the Prosecutor.

The Magistrate told her, that her defence would
be of benefit to her in another place; where she
would require every possible aid in vindication of
her innocence, if she was really so. He could (To).
no less than commit her.

The Prisoner was a dashing lady, ; first.rate
fashionable, with large -Obie bit and transparent
petticoat: the Prosecutor a punt man, on whom a
Mikvood might easily prat4se,
