HELVE TIC REPUBLIC.

BEittir, AVG. B.—The late4t intelligence from
the Lesser Cartons, affords some hope of our being
able to re-call -those parts.of Helvetia to obedience
to our governinent. The refusal of the Canton of
Uri to make a Common Cause with the others,
has strengthened the opposition in that quatter,,and
the eagerness manifested, by the ring-leaders of this
Counter Revolution to ingross the highest situa.
tions, has given general disgust.
The Commissary, KELLER, publishedon'the 4.th
inst. at Lucerne, on the partof the Central Govern-
anent, the following Proclamation
" The government had fondly hoped for the ces-
lation of all troubles, for the reunion of all 'men by
"Ott influence of concord and of fraternity, and of
.`lourse, for the restoration of general Prosperity.-:.
It sees, however, with regret, that certain enemies
of theii Country, are eager to profit of the circutn..
stances of the moment, to rend all those . ties asun-
der, and to produce new calamities and misfortunes.
" These have violated the confidence which the
Government placed in their sentiments of Patti-
otism,. and they have shut their eyes to the dangers
attending such condua. Behold your Vallies and
desolated--tote still smoaking ruins of your
►ouses--these are the fruits of such disastrous
Councils, and which on a former occasion you have
experienced.—Consider well, if the assertions of
those who mislead you, have been founded in truth
they have not already deceived you.--And
'what trust can you repose in them after these re.
iledions ? Abjure their perfidious Councils, and
tally round a Government, uniformly disposed to
attend to your complaints, to administer to your
necessities, and to soothe•your misfortunes.
" The Executive Council, true to its principles,
has endeavoured by every means of conciliation, to
recall you to your duty ; but, at the same time, it
entertains th;-.determined resolution generally to in-
troduce, • and to Maintain ,the'Constitution adopted
IT the Helvetic People in all parts of the Republic,
and apprises you that measures are adopted to carry
tt into full effect against every. species of opposition
Whatever.

cc The Executive Council deClares, that all I,ansge.
mein, held, or to be holden, are contrary to the ex-
isting Laws and the Constitution, and decrees—.

. . "
I. That in all the Cantons, or wherever such Assemblies
are holden; the persons who were employed under the Con-
stitution, shall be reinstated in their respeCtive situations, in
the course of eight days.
"2. That in the Cantons of Uri, Schwitz and Under-
walden; the Communes shall reasSenibleond elect a Deputy
front every too Citizens. v . .
, . ... .. .

" 3. 'I hese Deputies shall re-unite under the Presi-
dency of the Commissary of the Government, or of one
of the Delegates, in order to appoint a Committee or Coun-
cil, consisting of zo Menibers. . .
"4. the Government recognizeS those Councils, and will
hold communication with them. They shall administer the
particular Atliiirs of the Cantons, and shall be charged with
the. Cantonal Organization.
" Given at iferne, August a,

The Commissary, Krii.r.a, bad rerdered all the
Public Fundionaries responsible 'for the execution
of the above Decrees, and haS taken steps to render
their Circulation as extensive as possible.
The different Corps of French Troops were to
assemble yesterday; at Basle; in order to proceed
to Strasbourg and Metz. The horse also quitted
Le .grickthall; which leaves •no ddubt With respeet

The renewal of the Members of the Executive
Council had been fixed for, the is:h of May. If
the Council w,,S reduced to two MemberS, by indis-
position or other causes, the vacancies Were to be
filled by Members of the Senate.
The proposition for furnishing a- Scildier out of
every hundred CitiZens, has been stitrinitted to the
Military Committee. That of the Aninesty for
the Canton of Leman, and for the fin-Mei distur-
bances in the Canton of Zurich, was referred to the
CommisSion of Justice.
The Council has required of the Senate; to acce-
lerate the Formation of the Laws iespedting the
Recovery of Tythes.
VIENNA, AttPUST 3.--The Gazette of Bitten
states, that a Tartar arrived at Belgrade froth
Constantinople, had announced that there was a re-
port iu that Capital of the death of the Sultan It
is added, that, the People desired to see his Brother
elevated to the throne, and that a great fermenta_
tion prevailed at Constantinople.
VIENNA,. AUGUST 4.—The.. EMPEROR has this
day given an audience to M. ARE zzo, Archbishop
of Seleucia, and Ambassador Ektr,,rdinary from
Rome to the .Court of Russia. It said' here that
the Duke of PAR M A has resigned , his Dominions,
in consideration of a Pension of 60,000 ducats.

According, to letters frOni Semlin, JUSSUM AGA
has colletted a number of Troops, with chic• he
has again marched towards Belgrade. The Garri.
son of that City are well disposed to make a vigor-
ous resistance. Several of the Inhabitants, detect.
ed in a secret correspondence with jtiosum,
,have
been put to Death.

STRASBURGH, Attc.l:--It is said, that a: Camp
of moot, ;vlen is shortly to be formed at Plobsbeim,
a few leagues from hence:

On Satdrday Thi)mas Cooper, late Mate of the
Brig Adveinttie, sunk 'off Brighton, underwent an
examination before the Loao MAvott, being
charged as the person_whn hart sunk and dcotroyra
that Vessel on the 7th inst Handbills had 'Ewen
lately sent froM the Mansion. House to the coast
of Suffolk, the place of this- man's nativity, .and
where he was supposed to be concealed, offering a
reward of tool, for his ;apprehension ; and these
bills being,seen by the Prisoner's friends, they in-
formed the Magistrates in the County, that they
would deliver him up on condition Of his being ad.
mitred as king's evidence against the Capt.in and
others'belonging to. the vessel. He was acco dsigly
brought to town on Saturday, by officers fr m Sax-
mundham, in Suffolk. When brought before the
- Lord Mayor he made a full confession of this riql.
nous trinisadion. He said, he was the person
who had bored holes in the Brig with an augur,
which he said he did by the direaion of persons
whose names we shall not mention. He also swore
ttit.the ship had been plundered previous to this
transaction ; and that every thing had -been done
-with a design to defraud the Underwriters.. Two
other persons were then examined ; one of them
was a waternian and Lighterman, who had been
employed to carry goods to the vessel when taking
in her lading in London. He swore•that,. -by par,
titular desire of persons whom we shall not name,
he deposited in a certain wharf ten tons of bale
goods, which should have been, and were .under-
stood to he put on board the Brig as pait of her
cargo. The other Witness had been on board the
Brig for the purpose of being a Super-cargo; but
left her in the Downs, in consequence of not having
a proper settlement with the Owners. He swore
the Brig was,, when he left her, in very good con_
dition, fit 'to weather, the Bay of Biscay, and pzr_
form her intended voyage. The whole of the Crew
of this Brig, together with the owners, are noW in
-
custody, and will shortly be all brought together
fur a final examination.

The perforated planks of the Adventure have been
separated from the vessel, and brought to London.
The danger likely to ensue from setting off Fire.
Balloons, is verified from the following instance,:—
At a
_late hour on Saturday night, a Balloon of the
above description fell in Weston's Park, Lincoln's_
inn.fields,' which set fire to a quantity of dry straw
belonging to some stabling, and had it not been for
the exertions of a number of people passing by,
who hastened immediately to the .spot, tile whole
range of stabling would probably have been de-
stroyed. The injury such experiments might pro_.
duce must be obvious, and we trust this instance
will evince how necessary it is to abstain from such
praElices in future.

Several Constables of the Parish of Sr. Andress,
Holborn, have applied to the Magistrates for remu-
neration for their attendance at Brentford during the
Eletlion, which the Overseers of the Parish resist.
ed, on the ground that it was their duty to give
their attendance without any consideration, but
the Magistrates thought otherwise. The case was
put off for reconsideration.
On the z Ist.inst. in the Rock Building., Brigh.
!on, Mrs. PARR, of Harpor.s,treet, Bloomsbury, was
safely delivered of a Son.
On the Ist of August died at Lisbon, Mrs. Pr 7,
reliti of JAMES DES, Esq.

COMBINATION

SitIPWRIGHTS A! CAULKEIY3.

MIRING the War. there were not-Shipwrights
enongh.‘to execute the works wanted to be done, not
only,in His Majesti'sViockYards, bui in the Mer-
ch L ttots'.'rils, and 'every, inanm ceent was held out
to Men toff ruse them :to - work over hours, ficc:
They '‘l/ere paid three shillings and sixpener per day
for ordinary hours; but during the war they always,
worked over time enough to entitle cheat to near ss.
a day, and frequently when they had piece-work
they could- earn 7s. or 83, a 4y. On the return
Peace the work in the Merchants' Yards began to
slacken, and.last May ,the business Was considered
so much reduced, that the masters gaVe notice to the
men; that in consequence of the number of their men
having increased, they should have no occasion for
them to work over-hours ; but the men insisted
upon having_Oia day regularly, besides extra-hours,
which the masters refused to comply With; and the
businesS remains unsettled. •

' A' regular Combination has ..been fOrrning, and
meetings of all the men belonging to the different
Merchants' Yards.have been held ; they have regu-
larly corresponded; and have had Delegates from
one yard to the other, and in the mean tirne‘ they
were accumulatinge large fOndo by each man sub-
scribing 3s otit of every pound pound he earned..
They have thns colleled several .thousand pouncis.
About three weeks sinoe, every shipwright and
caulker belonging to al the Merchants' Yards struck
On one day. The labourers and others employed in-
the yards did not strike, but continued at their
work as nsnal, and the men who struck did not in_.
terfcre with them. It being thedeterMinationof the
masters to resist the demand, and Messrs. RAttasi,t,
and BRENT, of Greenland D ck-yard, being under-
large penalties to fulfil certain contraas in a short
time, made an application to the Lords of the Admi-
ialty for permission for a number of men from some
of the Government Y trds, to enable them to cOmplete'-
the contracts ; and to avoid any dispute between the
f ratlory men, and those under the employofGovern_
ment when thee went to work, the Lords of the Ad_
miralty gave dirs6lions that a number of men should
be sent for frdm Chathatn. On Friday evening be-
tween 70 and 8o men, belonging to the King's Yard
at Chatham, arrived in the, neighbourhood of Green-
land Dock. On Saturday morning they all went to
work on hoard the Bombay Castle, in Messrs: RAN_
cote o and BkENT'S Yard. The sound of the hammers ",
soon made -knoWn to the disconteriied that busi-
ness had recomnienced at the. Greenland Dock ;
and not. doubting but that they were King's men,
it,alartned them much, knowing the object of their
dinfederacy would be ruined if those men. were suf-
fered to work. What was .going forward was soon
to tde known throughout Greenwich,. Deptford, and
Woolivich ; and iii less than an hour .the whole
body, about 300 in number, assembled in fields at
the end of the town. After the principals in the
business had
.made known
.the object of the Meet,.
ing, the whole proceeded to the Dock-yard. The
alarm reached Messrs. RANDALL and Co. before the
Insurgents.arrived, and orders were given to lock
the water-gate; but ifie orders were given too late,
as a numerous body had "possession-of it before it .
could be secured. In an instant above two mind red
men were in the Dock-yard, the 'rest boarded the
Boml)ay Castle, and threatened to drown every man-
there at work, if they did not 'desist,. and -imme-
diately retain to their own Docks. On account of
such superior numbers, the Chatham men were
obliged to comply. The refraaory men provided
conveyances, and insisted on the men:from Chat-
ham taking to them, to go home in ; but they
first paid them for their day's work, out of
their fund,which amounts at this time to about 40001'.
After the men from Chatham were gone, the re-
fra6tory men continued to assemble about the Yard,'
and threatened to pull down the dwelling.hOuse of
Mr. RANDALL, situated at the entrance into the I
Yard. Mr. RANDALL and several other Gentlemen
came out of the house, and endeavoured to appease
them, but without effect. One fellow had the auda-
city to strike 'Mr. RANDALL. The utmost alarm
and terror preVailed for about half an hour ; but
at eight o'clock the Marine Police arrived from
Deptford, attended by Mr. GOODHUGH, . a •Ma
gist rate (where they had been for sometimle in wait-
ing for orders ; this arrangetneot had been made by
the Owners of the Dock-yard, who, appreheosive of
the consequences, had applied over-night to the
Marine Police Office). Notwithstanding the means
of intimidation being at •hand., the Shipwrights con-
tinued tumultuously assembled in the .Dock-yard,
and even to threaten all who opposed them. Such
was the state of things when Mr. GOODHUGH or-
dered the Riot A& to be read, which had the de-
sired efFeta ; they then began to depart;.. and soon
after nine o'clock the Yard was cleared. The whole
body afterwards went to the different Dock-yards
at Deptford, and there threatened destrudion kv any
masters who employed King'i men. • ,
Mr. N'Vells, the proprietor of an adjoining Yard,
set off express for London.: On' hi; a'rrival at the
Admiralty, he had an interview with Sir E. ,
ptAN, who sent information to Lord Pelhatol4
office. His Lordship,' without delay, gave oraiirs
for a patty of the Coldstream Guards to march to
the spur, and 'a party of the t ftb RegiMent of Liitlic •
Dragoons to go with all possible speed.

Between twelve— an Orig o'clock the soldiers
rived, and they eleaml'a_may every person from the
neighbourhood of the Yard.,
On Sir E. ,D:lzr EArir rccei‘iing 'an account of. the
riot, lie sent to the Public 011iee, Bow-street, saying'
he wished to see the Sitting Magistrate. Mr. GRA,
HAM being on the Bench,' he waited on Sir E. NE-
PEAL;, when alter a consultation, it was agreed that
Mr. G, and as large a party of Officers' as could be
got together, should go to the spot with all pos6-'
ble- speed, and every exertion was made to collea
alt the Officers and Police Patrole together. They
proceeded by water, headed by Mr. GRAnAm, and
arrived on the spot between two and three o'clock.
Every thing was' then tranquil ; warrants were is-
sued for the apprehension of the ringleaders; Cr
man only was found, of the name 'of Deane. —Om
was examined by Mr. GRAttAm in the parlour of
