HAM B T.! RdIA OCT. 18.—The following Conven-
tion is said to liave been signed on the sth of 6ep_
/ember by the:!;llinister of Foreign Affairs of the
French Republic, with the Ministers Plenipoten-
tiary of Russia and Bavaria.
• The FIRST CONSUL of the French Republic and
Majesty the Emrsßoit of RussiA, having be-
`'l'me mediators of the affairs of Germany, and
▪ Ind by their Declaration of the iSth August,
:,tialed their sentiments of the amount of the Indem-
tles which ought to be allotted to each Prince,
-'conform,.ablv to the Treaty of Luneville, the KING
rkuss I A has, in taking possession of his Indemni-
II;78) scrupulously adhered to the said plan. The
;4:11'Ellott of GERM; NY having announced his in-
kention of occupying his different possessions, the
RING of PRUSSIA, the FIRST CONSUL, and the
'"ERott of RuSsi hastened to announce whim,
that it would not be proper that his Troops should
Pass the limits smirked out, or that they should
ke Possession of any other territory than that
assigned as an indemnity to the Archduke Fistni-
mAND.
Nevertheless, without any regard to this declara-
ti°ll, or to that made at Berlin, the Austrian Troops
took possession of Passau, and the Plenipotentiary
of his Imperial Majesty informed the Diet, that the
Austrian Troops would not evacuate Passau unless
the other Princes evacuated the Territories of which
they had taken possession, which proves that his
!'operial Majesty placed no value on the declira-
Lon of the Mediating Powers.
p It then proceeds to state, that the Mediating
owers guaranree Passau to the ELECTOR of .BA-
/ARIA, and that if within 6o days it is not eva-
tqated by the Austrian Forces, the Governments
of France and Prussia, in conjunftion with Bavaria,
6hali unite to assure to the latter its ancient limits
°2l the right of the Inn, and the possession of
Forcers, which is adjudged to her, •

MADR ID, SEPTEMBER 29.v•-•CiliZell HERMAN,
rt.le French Charge d'Affaires, has set off in all haste
l°r L;569,1 in consequence of an order which he
1115 rec.:ived from Paris. He did not announce the
of his mission, but only that his absence
/Nuld not be long. Several persons think that Le

is cliarged to preicnt tt the rklNet Rec,•v La-
ter from the Frr,:t Cotn.zit., relative to the cir-
cumstances which occasioned. the departure of Ge.
neral LASNrS from Lidiom.

RATISBON, OCTOBER 19.—The Deputation of
the Empire held its seventeenth Sitting this day.
The Minister of Saxony has acceded to the new
Plan of Indemnities. The Minister of Bohemia
and the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order have
still deferred their votes. The Deputation was
d gain occupied, in this Sitting,with the Provision for
the Secularized Clergy.
A Courier from Paris arrived here day, who
this. I •
continued his route for Fienna.

BERNE, OCT. 24..—Yesterday evening a Batta .
lion of the io4th French Demi_brigade entered Berne
from Bienne.

The Army of the Confederates is not yet dissolv-
ed, althouf:h it has been so reported for several
days. The Diet of Schwitz has recently confirmed
the Unconstitutional Authorities, .established since
the Insurreetion, in the different Cantons.

The Senate has not yet appointed its Deputies to
Paris, the nomination will be made very shortly.
VIENNA, OCT. 16.—The EMPEROR has prohi-
ted M. DE COBENTZEL, Vice-Chancellor, from
receiving Letters addressed to him by the Chiefs of
the Armed Assemblies of Berne. His IMPERIAL
MAJESTY has manifested a desire that tranquillity
should be promptly re-established in Switzerland,
and shews a full confidence in the part taken by the
FIRST CONSUL, to restore repose to that unfortu-
nate Nation, to place it in a way of enjoying its
Independence, and resuming, at length, its rank
amongst the Powers of Europe.
The Correspondence continues to be very alive
between our Court, and those of Landon and Peters_
burgh. The changes which have been made in the
Ministry of Russia are here, as at Petersburgh, the
subje't of general conversation. It is more im-
portant to observe, that the EMPEROR ir. augment-
ing the authority of the Senate, establishes his
Throne upon the most solid basis.

His IMPERIAL MAJESTY' has charged his Inter_
nuncio at Cowstantinoisle, to demand from the PoRTE
the Free Navigation of the Danube to the Black
Sea.

• The Russian Grand Duke, CoNsratcerriii, will
pass the winter at Vienna.
HAGUE, OCT. 22.—Private Letters from Peters.-
burgh of the zd inst. state, that the Ministers of
France and England, residing in that Capital, had
presented Notes in the names of their respective
Governments to His IMPERIAL MAJESTY, in order
to engage him to charge himself with the guarantee
of Malta, under the Treaty of Amiens.
BASLE, OCT. 24..—The Courier whom General
RAPT' sent to Schewitz to summon the Diet to
dissolve itself, returned to Berne on the z Tst, at
eleven at night. He brings the answer of the fa_
mows ALOYS REDING, who as President of that
Assembly wrote very laconically to Citizen RAPP,
" that having received his dispatch at a late hour
(ten at night), there was not time to convoke the
Diet to notify to them his summons, and that the
Courier being in a hurry to depart, he had confin-
ed himself to acknos,vlege-the receipt of the letter."
This dilatory answer having been immediately
communicated by:Citizen RAPP to the Aid-de-Camp
of General NEY, who waited at Berne the answer
of the Diet, the latter d: parted in consequence for
Geneva, and shortly after his arrival in that City,
General NEY set out for Berne, where he arrived
on the 23d in the morning.
Having been made acquainted with the bad f►ith
of the Diet, which instead of disbanding its Army
and dissolving itself, had organized anew the Coun-
ter Revolution in several Cantons disposed to return
under the dominion of the Helvetic Government, he
expedited Couriers to die French Commanders sta-
tioned on the frontiers, to march their troops into
Switzerland.

The unforeseen arrival of General NEY at Berne,'
which was announced to the Pubiic by a dis Charge of
ry pieces of cannon from the ramparts, by,:order of
Gen. RAPP, spread terror in that City, where it was
supposed that the cannonade announced a new 6)111--
ter Revolution: but the PrefeCt was charged by
the Landamman, DoLDER, to tranquillize the Pub-
lic by a Proclamation, which was published the
same morning.

General NEY unites in his person the military and
diplomatic powers.—He will be assisted by General
RArr in his important functions.

The superior Authorities of Zurich, Schalfban-.
sen, Sc!cure, Basle, &c. composed of the zealous
partisans Of BACHMANN, REDING, and WATTE-
VILLE, have not hitherto'been willing to submit to
the Proclamation of BONAPARTE. They have pro-
tested against the Helvetic Garrisons, which have
been announced to them. At Basle a part of the
Bourgeoise announced, in strong terms, their deter-
minatiun to oppose by force, the Helvetic Troops.
A measure of the Diet of Schlaitz has aug-
mented the agitation, that Body having summoned
the Cantons to send off anew their Contingents to
the Cantons of Zurich, Si. Gall, Turgolfia, &c.
where the Partizans of the Helvetic Government
have had, for some days past, the upper hand.—
This summons, although agreed to in the c;-devant
Sovereign Cities of Basle, Schaffhausen, Soleure, &c.
has met with opposition in the Country. The
French alone are capable of putting an end to this
anarchy, they ate entering Switzerland at all points.
The 16th Demi-Brigade, which was lately in the
Frickthal, is on their march for St. Gall.

The following is. the copy of a Bill which is con-
spicuously placed in the Libraries at Brighton :
" His Royal Highness's Harriers leave the kernel
at to A. M. and throw offevery Monday neatTort-
slade ; Wednesday, Oatcham Windmill ; !Friday,
near the Race Course. it is requested that Gentle.
men will ride so as not to endanger the hounds,
or impede their hunting; and as it is His Royal
Highness's particular wish that the Agriculture of
the Country should not be injured, Gentlemen are
desired not to ride into plantations, or over turnips,
rape, or newly sown corn ; and that those who can-
not dispense with the attendance of their Servants •
in the Field, will order them strictly to observe the
above regulations, and .to keep at a considerable
distance from thellounds.".

THE DUTCH AIL,

BASLE, Ocr. 17

Otta terrors on the approach of the Prench
Troops, which were on the eve of entering Swit-
zerland, have been removed: This deliverance we
owe to the exertions of one of our fellow-citizens,
M. Furz, of Basle. This M. FUTZ, who had
studied the mathematical sciences, was about twenty
years ago sent for to St. Peretsburgh, by his uncle,
the celebrated Professor 4ttLER, likewise a native
of Basle, and under his,aitspices became a celebrated
teacher, gained the faVOur of the present EMPEROR,
and became a Member of the Russian Committee
of Instruction. This worthy man so warmly ex-
erted himself in application to the Russian
narch, on behalf of his wretched Country, that the
EMPEROR sent instructions- to his AmbasSador at
Paris, Count MARCOFF, to employ his offices most
vigorously with the First Consul in favour of Swit-
zerland.

Some weeks ago, the Diet of Schwitz sent M.
i\'IULLENEN to Paris, in order to lay before BONA_
CARTE the affairs of Switzerland in their proper
light. He immediately waited upon the Russian-
Ambassador, in order, by hisintrodudion, to ob-
tain the object of his journey. Count MARcou,
who had already been commissioned by the EM-
PEROR to that effel, accompanied M. MULLENEN
both to TALLEYRAND and the FIRST CONSUL, and
when the latter became informed more corredly of
the present state of Switzerland, he signed the Sol-
loWing conditions

That no French Troops should enter Switzerland.
1. That the Helvetic Government at Lausanne should re-
pair to Berne, and after they had settled the accounts of their
Administration, give in their resignation.

3. That the Swiss Diet should likewise repair• to Berne,
there continue the functions of Government, and send an
Ambassador to Paris, who should be recognized.
4. That Deputies should he sent from each Canton to
Paris, and there, removed from all influence, form a Con-
stitution suited to Switzerland.
