LONDON, SEPTEMBE! 4,18 oz.

THIS morning we received the Maxiteur of the
31st ult. It state (what we believe to be true,
notwithstanding the symptoms of hostility which
have lately appeared in Germany ), that the hilliness
of ,the Indemnities will very speedily be settled, as
Russia, Prussia, France, and Bavaria, are acing in
concert with each other. The French Govern.
ment has expressed, in a very decided manner,
its opinions respecting the disputes in Sw;t.
zerland. Our Readers will recollect, that some of
the smaller Cantons, who disapproved of the new
Helvetic Constitution, addressed a Letter to the
Frasr CONSUL of France upon the subject, which
was published in the Publiciste. The Official Paper,
however, declares, that, the French Government
oriiy acknowledges one Government in the Helvetic
Republic, and that a part of the People of that Conn_
try cannot address the CHIEF CONSUL, without
being guilty of Rebellion against their own Govern.

The Price of the French Funds is not given.

His Royal Highness PRINCE WILLIAM of
GLOUCESTER. safely landed at Petersburgh .on the
Bth ult. from the Latvia Frigate, and met with the
most distinguished reception from the EMPEROR
and his Court.

Colonel HAmtLroti is charged by the British
Government to settle with the Landgrave of HEssE
CASSE L for the arrears still due for Subsidies.

Tuesday Earl Sr. VINCEN,T breakfasted with
T. CLEATHER, Esq. Mayor of Plymouth, and
the Court of Aldermen, at the Mayor's house.
After a very elegant dejeune and dessert, Sir W.
ELFORD, Bart. the Recorder, presented him with
the. Freedom of this Borough engrossed on vellum,
and enclosed in a silver box beautifully embossed,
and blazoned with the Town's arms, accompanied
by a very appropriate speech on the occasion ; to
which his Lordship made a suitable answer, ex.
pressing his high sense of the honour done to him,
and of his. attachment to the Town of Plymouth.
His Lordship then proceeded to the ViElualling
Office, where he met Captain MARKHAM and Mr.
GARTHSHORE. After examining every part of the
Viftualling Office and Cooperage, with the whole
arrangement of which their Lordships expressed
their approbation, they proceeded in the Admiralty
barge to visit South Down Brewery, where the
whole of the artificers and labourers were mus.
tered. Their Lordships then returned to the Vic.
tualling Office, and visited the Citadel. In com.
pliment to the Admiralty and Navy Board, T.
LOCKYER, El. from his battery at Teats 'Hill,
and Princess Anne of Denmark Battery, fired a
salute of zo guns. All the shipping in the Port
were dressed in the different colours of the k.noWn
world.

Experiments have been lately carried on by Ma_
jor SHRAFNEL, at Woolwich, with Guns of a new
construction, by which means a very effeaual fire is
brought upon an Enemy at a distance considerably
beyond the usual praftice. •
. A Letter from Calais, dated ad September, I Soz,
to a Commercial House in Town, contains the fol-
lowing intelligence : " 'We hasten to communicate
to you, that the law allowing the transit of refined
Sugars and Coffee in France has been suspended for
the present, until Government shall have discussed
and decided upon the general question of transit ; in
consequence of which no Coffee or Sugars, arriving
after this day, will be entitled to the privilege of
transit°, but will be subjea to the Home Consump-
tion Duties:'

It is stated, on the authority of private Letters
from Paris, that the Farmers General are to be re-
established in France, entirely on the 'ancient
footing.

There seems to have been no necessity for sub-
mitting the Convention entered into between
France and Russti, for the purpose. of arranging the
Indemnities, to the discussion of the Diet of Ratis-
bon, since those Powers authorize all the Princes
and States to take possession of the Territories as-
signed to them, it the said Convention is not
approved and confirmed within two months from
the 7th of last month. . The Diet of Ratisbon had,
therefore, better put an end to all d'iff'iculties at
ogee, withont affeding the parade of deliberation,
as it has nothing to do but approve and confirm.
Mr. NECKAR'S politics had so fatal' an operation
in France, that it is wonderful he should resume his
pen, unless -to express his hitter repentance for
having convened the NOTABLES, aid by that un-
fortunate measure causing all the horrors of the..
French Revolution, and the murder of the virtuous
Monarch to whom he owes his fortune.

The allowance of so great a sum as six gitilmas
a week t() the Prince of SALNI KYRBURG, during
his cOn6nerrtent at Hamburgh, was holding out too
strling a temptation. We may hope that all our
foro•ers will has-ten to Hamburgh, in order tg parti.
ciliate
in sonopeace a puniiivitent.

Thr Awfer iu 4Paper near the Market Place at
Preston, who modestly demanded one hundred pi-
near for three beds and. a sitting-room durirg the
build at that place, declared that he would abate
