PRIMATE CORRESPONDENCE.

SREMEN, Sur. 12.

The French Hanoverlan Army still remains on
the Hessian Frontiers; but there is no doubt ofob-
taining permission to pass through the country, as
the only material objection seems to be, the manner
of marching, which the ELECTOR insists shall be
without arms; but engages for the whole baggage,
artillery, and ammunition to be allowed to follow
after in three days, escorted by his own troops.

It is said thfit BERNADOTTS has agreed that one day
may be allowed to intervene betwixt the march of
the troops • and the baggage, comprehending the
heavy artillery, but. will not consent to any other
terms ; and as the Court of Berlin declines inter-
fering, the numerous Legions disembarking in the
Texel are held out in terrorem to , His Highness;. so,
that it is generally supposed he will be under the
mortifying compulsion of sacrificing his duty to the
necessity of the moment, and by that means permit
the banditti an easy inroad into Franconia, which,
considering the existing circumstances.. may be na-
turally supposed to fall a prey to their deceptive in-
trigues. "'

If the world could still be at a loss to see through
the perfidy of these shameless. freebooters, I hope
the following recent circumstance which happened
in Hanover, will open the eyes of those who are
even obstinately blindfolded to French treachery, and
stimulate them to engage with heart and hand to
sinew the arms of their Government to resist such
lawless marauders.

BERNADOTTE, whose tyranny is at unlimited as
his power, issued orders on the 2d inst. to provide

1800 horses in five days, under a promise' of pay-
ment in four months, although he knew at the ewe
ment his orders were to quit the Country immediately,
and consequently his promises not worth a totaeco.
stopper ; yet those towns and villages which should
fail to raise their quotas were to be compelled to
double the number by way of punishment for their
neglea; and so dreadfully were the poor inhabitants
alarmed for the merciless consequences of disobedi-
ence, that they aaually made a shift to complete
t his requisition, though at the expenee of the most
cruel sacrifices. But what evinced the duplicity of

the job was, sending five or six hundred Infantry
and some squadrons of Cavalry to Brinkum; a vil-
lage bordering on the Oldenburgh territories, as if
they intended some hostile measures against that
Dukedom, on account of the relationship betwixt
the Emperor of Rus SIA 'and the philanthropic Prince
that governs it. Now the whole plot of, their march-

ing and counter-marching, was, to amuse the peo-
ple of Hanover from entertaining any idea of their
leaving the cuantry, because they could naturally
suppose some obstruEtions might be thrown in the
way of their requisition, and, at any rate, it would
not have been so instantly complied with. The.
Troops at Brinkum were immediately ordered to join
the main Army ,at . Hanover, the moment it was
found the number of horses were delivered, to the
great joy of the trembling Oklenburghers, who were
sadly afraid of a Corsican embrace.
Though this may be only considered a trick of war,
authorized by necessity, yet to see a poor peasant
leading away his only horse to satisfy the, wants of
a rapacious plunderer, .is tragically distressing, par•
ticularly upon refle&ing that, the animal was in-
tended to convey implements of destru&ion against
those friends who were making preparations to
rescue the country from thraldom.

Your happy Island fortunately knows nothing of
such galling cruelties, and, be as lured, the most
sanguine French politicians despair of being able to
convey their blighting influence to it while that
bright luminary at the head of your Government is
alloWed to shine.

The Troops at the Texel are almost disem•
barked, and proceeding to the. Rhine with all pos-
sible expedition. Those who are quitting this
country regret the change of climate very ;much,
and unanimously declare their convitbon of being
wontonlysacrificed at the arnbitiOtS 'Shrine of theii,
restless Chief. - It is proverbial among them, that
France as a Republic is invincible, but under a des-
potic Monarchy vulnerable in every direktion.
Many are flocking to this country to avoid the
Conscript Inquisition, which is daily eipeeted to take

place.
P. S. SEPT. 12-Eight o'clock.—Accounts are this

evening received in town from Hanover, that BER-
NADOTTE has desired the Magistrates to raise in
two hundred thousand dollars, as a compen-
sation for the clothing which they do nut mean to
demand next year;, and twenty-five thousand dollars
for the purchase of saddle-horses, which his ExcW.
leney will take upoti hiptself to, procure. This money
is certainly intendedto defray the expenses of their
march :--so you see they hoe no resources but
plundering requisitions.

Another large body of French prisoners are on
their march from Plymouth to Stapleton, and a part
of the Garrison of Brihtol are gone to escort them
the latter part of their journey.
