communicating with the Minister of His IMPERIAL.
MAJESTY.

The Troops of The Helvetic Republic having
been defeated under the walls of Berne, a Conven_
tion was entered into on the 18th ult. between the
Government of -that Republic and the Loops of
the opposite party, by which' it was agreed
by the latter, that the Powers composing, and em-
ployed tinder- the former, together with the Troops
of the Government, should be allowed to leave Berne
unmolested, and retire to Lausanne, The Ministers
from Foreign Powers to the Helvetic Republic,
are to remain under the guarantee of the Rights of
Nations, and to be furnished with facilities to pro-
ceed wherever they may judge it suitable. Hos-
tages were reciproca;ly given for the due perform-
ance of the Articles of the Convention.

' The Helvetic Government, with the French Mi-
nister, arrived at Lausanne on the aoth ult. The
Helvetic Troops are to assemble at Morat, Pajerne,
and the environs. Orders are given to raise a Com.
parry of Volunteers in each District, and to bring
into service all the Artillery, and a Company of

Dragoons.
The towns of Rrau and Sokure have been taken
possession of by the Insurgents.
Previous to the Capitulation of Berne, Citizen
VERNINAC, the French Minister, wished to quit
that City, and return to Paris, but at the instance
ofseveral Members of the 9ovemment, he consented
to remain in Switzerland./

Government has detached. 1;0Q° tnen to restore

through the lines, insptded. the Regiment particu-
larly minute, and expressed 'much satisfaCtion at
the fine appearance of
.both Men and Horses.
And the uniform of this Regiment being differ-
ent from all other Regiments of Light Dragoons
(being laced-with gold) seemed to please His MA..
J ESTY very much. The Regiment- %Vent through
their business on foot, and matched past, after which

were executed with the utmost rapidity and nicest
precision. The charges were admirably made, both
in squadron and line, being .rapid, close, and. firm.

COMMAND E R CHIEF came- forward. to Lieut._
Colonel BOLTON, the Commanding Officer, and..ex-
pressed His MA J EST Y'S approbation of the appear.

ing in so high a degree met with the approbation of
His MAJESTY, refieas grCat credit on the Officers
of the Corps, and particularly so on Lieut... Col.
BOLTON, who, in the course of little better-than
three years and a half, from a complete skeleton,
which arrived in this Country the latter end of
1798 from the West Indies, consisting of not more
than thirty-five worn-out Non-commissioned Offi-
cer, recruited and formed both the Men and Horses
of the Regiment to its present high and disciplined
state.

Yesterday New-York Papers to the 2 Ist of Aug,
inclusive were received.

It appears that the malignant Fever, though
much abated,' still continues to rage at Philadel-
phia, Baltimore, and some other places. Jr has
been the cause, as usual, of a great stagnation of
trade, by occasioning every person that could af-
ford it to 'fly for safety into the courrtry. Health
O►fices are established as usual, and the Physicians
appointed to them continue daily to give accounts of
the progress of the fever, by stating the number of
persons who are afiliaed or die of it. We are happy
to find that their accounts in the last Papers are fa-
vourable, and the cold weather will, no doubt, soon
stop the.progress of the disease for this .season.
The Inhabitants of New-York have lately been
much alarmed by the arrival there of three French
Frigates, with a number of Prisoners or Negroes on
board. The Mayor of New-York wrote imme-
diately to the Commander of the division, express-
ing a hope that he was acquainted with the scrupu-
lous jealousy with which the Americans watched
.the introduction. of such persons into their country,
and requested an assurance that no such people would
be permitted to land. The answer returned by the
French Commander was satisla6tory.
Accounts from the City of Washington say, that
the President of the United States is seriously in-
disposed.

From "Charleston,. -the, 3d August, it is stated,
" On Friday last- anchored at: Fort Johnston, the
French ship Danae, from the HaVannah; we under._
stand that this ship was a sloop of war in the 'British
Navy, and is the same which, when commanded
by Lord PROSY, was carried into Brest by the
crew. She is now in the merchant service."

A report brought to Norfolk by Captain DAVIS,
says, that about the zoth 'July every White Inha-
bitant of the Island of Tortuga was murdered by
the Negroes ; that the mortient 'the informAtion was
received at the Cape, two Frigates, full of Troops,
were dispatched from that place to quell the Insur-
redion.

A Petition to Parliament is preparing, and is al-
ready signed by 700 Liverymen; the objet of
which is to render void the last Election for the
City of London.. It is set on foot by the friends of
Sir WATKIN LEWES, with a hope of bringing him
in on a new Eleaion.. The grounds of the Petttion
arc, that thc Poll w irregularly rnnamSted, and
contrary to the Act of Partianicut ; that the Proper
number of Clerks did not attend to do the business,
and that many of Sir WATuN's Friends did not
poll, in consequence of the Clerks telling them the
poll was closed.
Thursday a General Meeting ofShip-Owners was
held at the London Tavern, to take into consideration
the Draft of a Petition toParliament, for the Repeal
of the Tonnage Duty, agreeably so the .Resolution
of the General Meeting of the zzd lone last. ,
The SECRETARY read the Draft of a Petition
to Parliament for the Repeal of the Duties on
Tonnage, and Oil and Skins the produce of the
British Fishery, which had been been previously
agreed to by the Committee, by which it appears
that these Duties were extremely oppressive.
Mr..l-Ixt.t. remarked, that the polite attention
which the Minister had strewn to the Committee on
their former application, entitled him to every mark
of resped. He therefore suggested, that it would
be most adviseable to apply to him for another inter-
view; previously to their making . any application
to Parliament.

According to -the Supplement to the Moniteur of
'the 9th ult. which contains an account of the Popu-
lation of each Canton, District,- and Department of
France, with the number of Members to be sent by
each to the Elenoral Colleges, the whole Population
of the French Republic.is 32,598,551. The number
Of Inhabitants in the Department of the Seine is
stat..cl to be 629,763, including Paris, the Popula-
tion of which appears. to be only 536,850, consi-
derably less than that of London. The Depart-
ment of the North-appears to be the most populOus,
the number of its Inhabitants being 774450,
According to report several changes are shortly
to take place in the French Ministry. The Marine
and War Departments are, it is said, to be united, and
confided to LUCIEN BONAPARTE. JOSEPH BONA-
PARTE is to be Minister of Foreign Affairs and of
the Home Department, which are also to be united,
and TALLEYRAND Minister of Finance.
In'an official communication, published at Stock..
holm on the 4th ult. means are recommended for
strengthening and increasing the Naval Force in the
Mediterranean, the nation being declared OD the
eve of War with Tripoli, that State having demand-
ed such a sum for the price of Peace, as So render its
continuance impossible.

FOR THE YELLOW FEVERe-r•A forgotten
Re-
medy. .Bishop BERKELEY, in his Continuation of
Siris, says, that when the Yellow Fever raged in the
West Indies, the Negroes with a tub of Tar-Water
in the quarters did well; but some of the bettec.
sort miscarried, among whom the physician himself
lay at the point of death. His brother recovered
him, however, yßouting down his throat in
spoonfuls; some of the saint liquor that recovered
the NegrOes. This faa is derived from a Gentle-

SWITZERL4ND.

BER'NE, SEPT. 21.

AT eight o'clock in the evening of the tBth.
M. WATTEvILLz arrived here, wearing in his hat
the red and black cockade. He waited immedi-
ately on M. DoLDER ; and the following Conven-
tion was settled between them :

" A Suspension of Arms for twenty-four hours.
2. " In that space of time, that which assumes the
name of the Government, shall, with all its Troops, leave
the City. The Bernese Army shall furnish the necessary
accommodations for the removal of the said Government to
Lausanne.,'

This Convention was concluded in consequence
of an obstinate notion, fought with much bloodshed,
immediately before the walls of Berne. The Army,
commanded by Messrs. WATTEVI GLE, D'ERLACI-I,
and EmirotrEß, was composed of Peasants, from
Argorvia, Saleure, Oberand, Petit Lac, Niddacw, and
Arberg. DoLDER's troops fired from the ramparts;
and the Peasants threw some cannon-balls into the
town, which damaged nothing but the Town-house.
Mr. EFFINGUER was introduced to a parley
with his eyes under a bandage. No agreement
could be effeEted, and the attack was renewed.—
After a severe and warmly-sustained combat, at one
of the gates, the Usurpers propoed to capitulate.
It is doubtful whether they may find a gracious re..
ception at Lausanne. The whole Pais de Vaud is
in commotion—the Peasants are up in arms—but
whether to support the Revolutionary Cause, w 6
know not.

Genera/ ANDERMATT, abruptly recalled by the
now exiled Government from Zurich, left to the
townsmen his heavy artillery. He proceeds by
forced marches towards Lausanne. But he is'pur..
sued by REDING : he is between the Army which
has. conquered at Berne; and that of the small Can..
tons : and unless he be comprehended in the Capitu..
lation, his Troops will be entirely dispersed,
M. de WATTEVILLE was, on the zyth, named
Commander in Chief, and paid a visit to the French
Minister, VERNINAC, who gave him a very ob-
liging reception. The Bear, and the Colours of
Berne, are already restored to their wonted places.
Friburg has 4urrendered to the Peasant Army. So,
leure likewise surrendered on .the 17th. Alt
Switzerland,. except the Pays de Vaud, will 5006
enjoy the renovated authority of its ancient Con,.
stitution. The two Demi-brigades promised by
BONAPAR.TE are to come from Italy, and cannot
arrive within less than fifteen days. In the mcari
time, all will be over. And it is expeEted that
France will not, thcn, think its interpolition'oor
cessary.

The following i$ the Plan of Constitution now
in circulation

form -each: its own Government, adapted to its usages, itS
