PARIS, SEPT. g.

ON the id inst. Citizens' VANINI, Mayor of
Porto Ferrajo, gARBitSI, Arch-Priest, and SENNO,
Deputies froth the Isle of Elba, were presented to
the First Consul.

Citizen VANINI addressed the First Consul as
follows :

g‘ Citizen Consul : Interpreters of the sentiments
of the Isle of Elba, we have the honor to present to
you their humble Homage, and to thank you for
the singular benefit which you have conferred on
their Country, by uniting it to the Territories of
Franeg. It is by a respeaful obedience to your
Laws, and by continual prayers to Heaven for the
preservation of your life, that they will endeavour
to testify their gratitude.

" As to ourselves indi6dually, we have to thank
you for the gracious reception which, under your
auspices, we have experienced, not only from the
Ministers of Government, but wherever we present-
ed ourselves."

The First Consul charged the Deputi6 to make
known to the Citizens of the Isle of lba, that from
henceforth forming part of the French Republic,
they would hasten to render themselves worthy of
the honour which had been conferred upon them.
The First Consul added, that he should always take
a particular pleasure in proteding their Isle, inte-
resting as it was in so many points of view,

The Senator GR EGOIRE landed at Calais a few I
days ago, returning from England.
They write from Dijon, that TOUSSAINT
VERTIRE has been lodged in the Chateau De Joux,
near Pontailier, in the Department of Doubs. His
escort returned through Dijon on the 3oth ult.
The Audience which was given the day before
yesterday to the Corps Diplomatic, was more bril.
. .
limit and more numerous than any of the preceding'
ones. This Meeting of all the Ambassadors of
pacified *Europe, presented a solemn and interesting
spectacle. When we carry our recollettion a feW
years back, to the period when France stood, as
it were, insulated in the midst of Europe, grati-
tude succeeds to admiration, and we feel the more
strongly the blessings of a Peace. That which add-
ed to the interest of the scene, was the presence
of a Man who defended with so much talents, a
Peace conquered with so much glory—it was.
at this Audience that Mr. FOx was presented.
Nnioug the English who surrounded the Ambas-
sador, were several Peers of the United Kingdom ;
but National Pride on this occasion sile.iced every.
other species of pride, and Fox, the Patriot Fox,
was put before the Peers. It was not only M.
MERRY, but all the English W)lo were present,
who presented the first man in England to the First
Consul of France. Mr, Fox must havefelt that to
be one of the most delightful moments of his
The distinguished reception which he met with from
the Chief Consul of France, must have been a gra,.
tityingleward to this Friend of Peace, for his con-
' tests in Parliament with those who were rash
enough to wish for War.
The First Consul went up to him twice, and
af:rt saying the most flattering things to him, added,
" There are bOt two Nations in the World, ow- of
which occupy the East, and the other the West.
The English, the French, the Ger Mans, the Ira:
&c. living under the same Civil Code, hay.
ing the
:same manners, the same customs, and al-
most the same religion, are all members of one
family .; and those men who wish to re-kindle
War among them, are advocates for Cic...11 War.
These principles, Sir, you have maintained in
your Speeches, with an energy which does equal
honotir to your head and your heart."
Alderman.COMßE was then presented to the First
Consnl, who complimented him on his conduct as
Lord Mayor of London during the scarcity which
prevailed. Mr. Fox dined the same Day with
the CHIEF CONSUL, who had a :Very 'long Conver-
sation with him.

RATISBON, Auc. zB,--The second Sitting of
the Diet took place on the z6ch. The Minister of
Bohemia, M. de ScHRAN-r, &we a very important
Vote on the Declaration and Convention transmitted
00 the 24th by the Ministers of France and Russia.
It was in substance as follows ;

'! That the business of the Indemnities was en-
tirely an interior concern of the t mpire, and could
only be regulated by the free consent and co-ope-
ration of its States that the plan communi-
cated by Tnince and Rgsfit! was only a projea
proposed to the Deputation, who might rejeL% mo-
, •
cliq,.9p,A42pc it, as they thought proper; that
when interests so important as those which ac_
ci`?pli' ed:rf:l4iTeputation were agitated, no power
coui&prticribe either the steps to be taken, or,
above all', the time when the discussion should
terminate ; that Aystria (Bohemia), howtver, was
disposed to do every thing that depended upon her,
in order to accelerate the business jn question,"

The 0%44 pFq4r*.iop of thp cam of Viet 43.),

the first it has made relative to the COn.:1"1-

tion of Indemnities, has -caused a strong sencatir:
amongst the Accredited Ministers.
The Minister of Bohemia is the only one who has
yet voted on the Plan of indemnities. The greater
part of the others expect their instructions for that
purpose.

BANKS OF THE MEIN, AVG. 29.—Austtia has
just communicated to the Co-Estates of ;he Empire,
by means of their Ministers at the, Diet, a Pe-
claration by which she justifies hers 4
.•
ing taken possession of Passau. This peCiara-
tion is principally direaed against the Court of
Munich, against which it contains some very strong
reproaches. It appears that the Cuurt of Vienna
is hurt at the mystery with 'which the Negotiations
between France, Russia and Prussia, relative to the

Indemnities, have been carried on, and also that it

disapproves of the occupation of the Bishoprics of
Lower S‘ixony by. the Prussian TrooPs.

The ARCHDUKE PALATINE has returned to
Presburg, with the Answer of the EMPEROR to
the -Propositions of the Diet of Hupgary.

tion. The Inhabitants of the town of Einsid have
had a general meeting ; they wish to form an Inde
pendent Republic in alliance with Schwitz:

BERNE, AVG. 30.-4-We have just now learnt
that the Insurgents have commenced hostilities.
They have taken the Post of Resne, which was oCe
cupied by a Company of Carabineers, of the Can,
ton of Vaud. The Captain and thirtif Inca
were killed in the A.Ction.. We have not yet
received the details of this unfortunate event, but
it appears, that the Post was taken by surprizel and:
that the Insurgents easily rendered themselves mas.
ters of it, by taking. their 'position on a height
which commanded' it, and which had been left
unguarded. On the receipt of this intelligences
General AN,DERMATT, and the Commissary of Go..
vernment, Kg 1, E It, ordered all the gelvetie Troops
to advance. They have addressed a last.rltelamas

French Commerce in general, bears a demand

calling upon him to pay a present Indemnity of

Government menaces the Dey with instant War,

of the National Institute_ and of, the Board of Long'
