SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 180 Q.

At a l4e hour last night we' received the Anzster-
dam Courant Extraordinary of the l t ill inst. which
contains the following important article

AMSTERDAM COURANT EXTRAORDINARY,

WEDVESDAY, OCTOULR. 11.

" AMSTERDAM, OCT. 11.—We 114Stell to COhl-
rnunicate to our respeCted Readers that the Burgo-
master of this City ieceivzd early in the morning of
this day, a letter from his Excellency the Minister of
War, dated from Loot containing an Official Noti-
fication that Peace between FRANCE and AUSTRIA.
was signed on the ad of this month.
" The above important intelligence is now,
-without toss of time; announced to the citizens by the
firing of cannon on the city walls, the ringing of
bells, and playing of chimes.

" We sincerely congratulate our Readers on this
news, so interesting to humanity, and hope that it
will soon be followed by a General Peace."
After so positive a statement from authority, that
peace has been signed, it may appear absurd to ex-
press any thing like a doubt upon the subject ; there
are, however, some circumstances conne3ed with
this point which we feel it impossible to explain.—
The 41n4te-clanz Gazette of the loth, announced the

intelligence in tbiar tullowing terms.
" AMSTERDAM, Ocr. Mojesty has this
day received the glorious news that peace had been
signed at Altenburgii between France and Austria."

Whether any doubt was entertained or not of

the truth of that statement, we do not knou
- lxa it does not appear from the Amsterdam Paper,
that it was followed by the usual denionstrations of
joy, such as the firing of guns, ringing of bells, &c.
The next day, however, we are. told in' The Amster-

dam Courant, that the Bargotnastr bad received a

letter from the Minister at War, statilig, that the
Peace had been signed at Altetiburg,h on the 3d, and.
this intelligence was immediately announced to the
public by firing guns, ringing bells, &c. But it is
most singular that this intelligence should nut have
been communicated with equal solemnity to the peo-
ple of Paris. It is singular that the Moniteur of the
:.)1 11, hn:h we have received, should be pert ealy si,
kat upt•ti the subjel. One of the French Papers in-
deed, .goes mention 1110 Peace, but it dittos both
%kith iespea to the place w here it was signed,, and
the date, tor it stn.'s, that the Peace Was signed at
6.c.;oeut.runn, in The right, between the 29th and

3•tti of Septerrawr. ncount appeared in the
Journa de l'Empire, a Paper in which FOUCIIE leas
a consieeni.ule interest, and which therefore, may
be suppc-ed to obtain early and authentic' intorno-

ton.

We are also very much at a loss to ac-
count for the ril. nce of tiie French batteries. But
it saerns that the Othcial Intelligence of the Peace,
well aB of the rejoicings, a-re confined to Hol,
kid. We do not, nowevcr, by these observations,
mean to express any positive disbelief of the signing
of the Peace, we have tnerely thought it right to
state the doubts which have occurred to us upon the

We have received a Hatnburgh Paper, of the loth
inst. but it does not contain any intelligence resped-

ing tile Peace.

It is with the deepest concern that we have re-
ceived an account of the most melancholy nature
from Weymouth.

On Thursday the Dike of YORK arrived at Wind-
sol', on his journey to Weymouth, where he is going
to pay visit to his ROYAL SISTERS. His Royal
Highness rode not with the KING and Princesses
AUGUSTA and SOPHIA, accompanied by Lady ELY,
Generals LINSIG and FITZROY, and Col. TAYLOR j
Tel •-d about twelve, and afterwards proceeded on
bis journey to Weymouth.
Yesterday the Princess of WALEs and suite re-
moved torn her house at Blackheath, to her apart-
ments at Kensington, where her Royal Highness in-
tends passi:'g the winter.
An old Lady in Pimlico has lately been tricked
out of a parcel of diamonds, to the amount of 2,001.
and upwards, by a Jew, who had offered ber a con-
siderable sum more for them than any other person,
and told her that be expected his partner in town in
a day or two, and would then call and settle with
her ao ut them. On Monday, he and his pretend-
ed partner wailed on the old Lady, and after having
Surveyed the parcel a second time, fearing that a de-
pusit of Bank notes might lead to their deteaion, he
paid bfr 50 guineas in gold, by way of binding the
bargain, and contrived, whilst the-old Lady wag ab-
sent iGr a te.% minutes, to exchange her diamonds
for false stones made up in the same manner. They

8-pounders, bearing the inscription " Given by the

kausen."

MUNICH, SEPT. 26.—The late expedition against
the insurgents in Tyrol has proved eXtrernely de-
struaive to the troops engaged in it : the severest
loss they sustained was near the Penzerbtidge, where
300 [lien, and loci horses, were either killed or
made prisoners, two pieces of cannon and three am-
munitions were also taken ; Colonel .Count Anco
was killed ; Colonel Count SaANErt, Lieut. Count
SISANER, and Lieut. COUM LOMMINc;,
owere taken
prisoners ; and the whole corps dt.tacled on this
unfortunate Expedition, would have been destroyed
but for the undaunted intrepidity and persevering
valour with which the Officers and men extricated
themselves float the most perilous situations.
