MESSINA, •Auc. 3.—The French Tartan La
Vierge du Rosaire, commanded by Captain JOHN
GI R At; D, was attacked by 'some Pirates on the loth
of June. All the Persons who were on hoard were
massacred, the property taken out of the vessel, and
holes made in her, in order.. that she might sink.—
The Neapolitan Government, however, ordered the
most rigorous pursuit
,to be mad after the Pirates,.
and five of them have beer, taken, and condemned
to death.

RAVISBOI4, Ano. 20.—1 t was generally 7inagin-
ed that the 'differences between the Courts of
Vienna and. Bavaria relative to the Bishopric and
City. of Passau, were :)etcled., but subsequent.events
have proved the contrary. A courier, which has
arrived at Munich, has brought intelligence to the '
Baron RECHnERG, the Bavarian Minister to the
Diet, that the ELECTOR had nest ratified the ar-
rangement entered into between the A-ustiian.Gere-
ral STRAUCH, and the Bavarian General BaRTELs,
by which arrancrement it was agreed that• neither
Party should takeb possession of the Fortress of Pas-
sail without giving the other twelve days notice ;
that the ELECTOR of BAVARIA not only refused
to ratify this agreement,- but had re-called General
13ARTELS, who has been' replaced by General
DEROI, who received orders to take possession of
Passau, at the same time that possession was taken
of the other Bavarian States. Conformably to
these orders, the. Count DE LAROSSE, First
Aid de. Camp_.belonging to the Staff of the limy
of the Inn, was, sent to Gudern, the headquarters
of the Austrian, General' •STRAUCH, to announce
to him the rupture of the, Convention. The next
day the Troops beltinging to the Bishop .of PAssmr
advanced to the frontiers of the -Bishopric, and
made preparations which indicated their intention
of
.resisting the Bavarian. Troops, and an applica.
tion was made to. the Count DE MEERFELDT to.re-
quest the assistance of the Austrian Troops to re.
sist the Baystrians. It is certain, however, that
General ME ERFELDT did enter the, City and Fortress
of Passau, on the i 7th August, with his Troops,
and occupied the Bishopric on . both: sides of tl•ie
Inn.- This news was brought here on the night
between the t7th and i Bth, by 'a Courier -which
General DERoI dispatched to Baron RECHEERG,
who communicated it, officially, to the French and
Russian Ministers. These two Ministers imme-
diately • held a conference with' the, Count. DE
GoERTZ, the Prussian Minister. The result of this
conference was a very energetic 'note, presented by
Citizen LAEOR EST and the Baron BUHLER to Baron
NAGEL, the Austrian Minister to the Diet. This
Note states, that the Russian and-French Ministers
had learned that the Austrian. Troops had occupied
the'City -and Bishopric of Passau; that this mea-
sure was entirely .contraiy to the elispositions of
the Convention of the 4th June, and to other ar-
rangements .entered into between the two PoWers,
and therefore they could not but consider it as aris-
ing from -a -mistake, which the Court of Vienna
would undoubtedly hasten, to reaify.
- 'The Count Da Hoc ES; replied 'verbally, that he
would communicate their Note. to his Court,. and
would not fail to transmit them the answer he
should receive from Vienna.

As soon as the occupation of Passau by the Au.
srrians, was known at Munich, the ELECTOR gave
orders to several Regiments to march to, Yelshatren.
Orders hiie also been given to the Bavarian
Troops stationed on the Danube and the Lech to
prOceed immediately to take possession of the new
Territories of the, House of Bavaria. They are to
commence their march this day and to-morrow.--
Yesterday' the Garrisons of Ingoistadt and Neuburg
set out for Passau. The ELECTOR of BAVARIA
has, upon this occasion displayed a remarkable de-
tree of firmness and energy.
In the Sitting of the 16th the Diet charged the
Direflory of the Empire, to convey its Thanks to
the French GoverAent, for the friendly communi-
cation which had been made to them of the Sexatus
Consultant, and to express at the same time, the
interest the Die. took in that event.

BASIL, AUG. 24 Citizen MITTiLHOTZ ER,
Comnlic..ry• EslAaorclinar3., of the Helvaric Govern-
ment, and Member of the Senate, arrived on the
16th inst. in the evening, at Glauris:—A Courier
,which he had sent to the Executive Council, with
Dispatches of a- most satisfa&ory nature, proved of
considerable service to the views of the Friends of
Order.

The Municipality of Lucerne have transmitted to
the National Prefect, all the documents which have,
been sent by the Central Committee of the lesser'
Cantons, sittingat Schwitz, accompanied with their
decree, that they will not answer them. The
People of those parts of the canton of Und;rwald;
adjoining to Lucerne, have been greatly alarmed at
hearing that the Helvetic Troops were re-assembling.
in the environs of that City. Two Deputiei have
been sent
,to Schwitz, in order to solicit assistance
from REptzlq and hopes were entertained that the
defeaion of a part of the Canton of Berne would
take place in a feW days.
BERNE, AIIGUS'T I 7 papers have been
circulated in the Falgis, and the signature of the '
Citizens sollicited thereto, the objeas of which
are to effea the reunion' of that country to France.
In one of those particularly, a system of Inde-
spendence. is decreed as imprafficable,' &c. and the
conduEt of the French Government highly applaud-

language, and enfa:ed with a degre6 of rlausi-
