The Fete of the 23d inst. the first day of the
Republican year, .was celebrated with the greatest
order. In the morning the people were entertainedtvt
th games, dances, horse- races, &c. In the evening,
Which was very fine, every body was occupied in
viewing the illuminations. The Concert, which
was performed before the Palace of Government,
was much better executed than it is in general.
The.,.PIRST CONSUL, in on-rand Costume, accompa-
nied by his two Colle.lgues, appeared in the Pavil_
lion, in the front of which the Orchestra was ereEted.•
The fire-works were let off at nine o'clock, which
was an hiur sooner than was expelled : it was done

in order to prevent accidents.
TheFißsrCoxson went to the Opera on the azd,
in the uniform of the National Guard. On his ar.
rival the 'House resounded with applause; which
was prolor.ged for a considerable time. After the
Performance he set off for St. Cloud.
Le Tourville, of 7+ guns, which left St. Domingo
on the i 3th or August, is arrived at Brest. The
intelligence which it brings is satisfaaory. The
sicknes appears to abate. None of the Generals of
note have been attacked by the disease. .General
3...tenttce in good health.
On rite Bth of August, Rear-Admiral DumANorß
arrived there with reinforcements from Toulon.
This voyage Was gond, and he had no sick.
Le Vantour, flom Genoa, also arrived in good
order. As to any thing further, the contagious
fever which prevails at St. Domingo, the Havannah,
and Jamaica, has been without example for fifty
years past.
The English Frigate R.l7r2na having struck on a
rock near the Island of Jersey, was forced to run
aground near Havre Saint Aubin.
At the sitting of the Tribuoate of the 24th, GI& E-
• El. was eleaed President, and ALnISsoN, PER-
• Bosc, and CosrE, Secretaries.
It is said that Mr. For: is about to leave Paris,
to pass a fortnight with M. DE LA FAYETTE.
RATISBON, SEPT. 15,---An unexpeaed incident
Las occurred respeaing the Indemnities. The Im-
perial Plenipotentiary, M. de Hucar n, has formally
refused to ratify the Cond.-/sum of the Deputation
of
the Sib inst. for the adoption of the Plan propos-
ed by France and. Russia. This refusal has been
riotified. to the Deputation, who held yesterday
its fourth Sitting, when a very warm discus-
sion took place, and several very important de-
clarations were made. The Vote of the Count
de GoEarz, the Minister of Brandenburgh, was
particularly remarked : after solemnly Protest-
ing againsi the proceeding.; of the Imperial
Potentiary, and in general againSt all further ad-
journment, he demanded that the Deputation should
regulate entirely and definitively the Indemnities
with the Ministers of France and Russia, without the.
co-operation of the Plenipotentiaries of His IMPE-
RIAL MAJESTY. The Sub-delegate of Bavaria
Voted. shortly afterwards to the same area. The
result of, this Sitting has been an Address to the
Plenipotentiary, inviting him in the most pressing
Planner to aced,: to the Can't-In:um of the Bth of
September.
M, de Huost, notified,his Declaration in the .
Form of a Decree of the Imperial Commission, which
is contrary to received usage, and the Laws of the
Empire. He founds his refusal principally upon
the adoption of the Plan of Indemnities being con.
tra'y. to the dispositions contained in the Conclusum,
by which the Deputation engages to have regard
. to the Reclamations transmitted to it by the par-
'lies interested. He offers, as to any thins fur..
titer, to communicate all the Reclamations which
than be addressed to him, to the Ministers of the
Iwo Mediating Powers, and to enter with them in.
to a conference upon the subjea.
In the same Sitting of yesterday, the Direaorial
IVlinister of iliajeilce communicated to the Dern-.
two Notes, which are said to be very itraport-/'
from Citizen LAFoREr and the Baron de
I3oHEER, but their contents have not transpired..!
They are said to be very energetic.
BERNE, SEPT. r6.—We learn from Basil, that
Insnrreaion has broken out there. It was oc-
casioned in the following mariner : There had for
some time subsisted a considerable degree of jealousy
between the armed Citizens and the regular Troops
of the Canton. A party of the former, encouraged,
no doubt, by recent events, assembled suddenly,
dtsarmed the Battalion of Soldiers, and nearly as-
sassinated the Commandant, Citizen Boxroßr.
They afterwards took possession
of the Arsenal' and
.the Town-house. The Soldiers who were disarmed
have been sent home, and the gates of Basil have
been kept shut for te,vo. days. A subscription has
been entered into, and 500,000 livres have been col-
ieaed and sent to the Chiefs of the Insurreaion in the
_smaller Cantons. - Persons who have lately arrived,
from --, Zurich, circulated some alarming accounts,
Which we do no; think entitled to entire credit,— 1

7.-llley state, that the sugpenSion of arms agreed upon
between General ANDERMATT and the Inhabitants
of Zurich were suddenly violated by the latter,- who
made an unexpeaed Sortie from the City, and at first
succeeded in repulsing the Helvetic Troops, but at
length. the Citizens were driven back into the City,
with the loss'of zoo men. That after this event Ge-
neral ANDERMATT had bombarded the City a second
time, and had entered it as Conqueror, but that
fortune had once more changed sides—the Inhabi-
tants rose upon the Helvetic Troops, defeated them,
made General ANDERMATT prisoner, and cut off
his head. These reports, though they do not ob-
tain entire credit, yet cause a great deal of dis-.
quietUde.
SEPTEMBER 17.-Our troubles assume a more
threatening aspeft. The Government every day
loses its Partisans. The hostile measures em-
ployed against ZUrich have alienated the minds of
the Inhabitants of several Cantons who have not
hitherto taken any part. The Deputies of the
smaller Cantons have threatened a rupture of. the
Armistice, on learning the re-commencement of the
Bombardment of Zurich. The strong Castle of
Arbourg has surrendered to the Insurgents in Argo-
via. Fear, trouble, and anarchy every where prevail.
BASIL, SEPT. have not yet recei7ed
any positive information respefting.the events which
are said to have lately happened at Zurich. The
Armistice concluded by General ANDERMATT and
the smaller Cantons, has enabled him to' colica all
his forces. near that city ; they amount to about
3000 men. In the Negotiation between. the Gene-
ral and the Municipality of Zurich, the former pro-
posed the following terms :
Ist. The disarming of the Citizens.

21. That the Inhabitants of Zurich should make good all.
the expellees which the Helvetic Republic had been put to
in consequence of their Insurrection.
3d. That certain persons who were Chiefs in the Insurrec-
tion should be given up.

The Deputies from the City agreed to the two
former propositions, but refused to submit to the
last. The Negotiations were then broken off, and
the Town was bombarded; but in consequence of
an Insurrection in the Canton of Baden, General
AN DERMATT was obliged to raise the blockade of
Zurich. An Insurtedion broke out in the neigh-
bourhood
,of Lucerne, but the Chiefs having been
taken, the Peasants soon dispersed.

We are assured that the Prussian Ambassador at
Paris has announced to the Helvetic Minister there,
that His PRUSSIAN MAJESTY has recognized the
present Helvetic Constitution and Government.

VIENNA, SEPT. t t.—The Capitulation made
between the Sublime Porte and the famous PASS_
WAN OcLou has been aaually signed. The
Pacha, as might be expeded, has obtained a
complete Amnesty 'for all past offences, and has
even been assured by his Government of pay-
ment of the arrears due to his Troops. On his
part, PAsswAN engages to remain perfectly obedient,
and moreover to disband his Troops immediately on
their receiving the money due to them. .It is not
very probable, however, that this celebrated Rebel,
who has exercised pillage during so many years,
and who has been the Sovereign of one of the
Provinces of the Turkish Empire, will consent to
deprive himself of his forces,when he may obtain new
means of supporting them on an imposing footing.
The Peace which prevails at this moment throughout
Europe, furnishes, iris true, to the Sublime Porte
the means of attacking the Rebels in its States, but
PASSWAN OcLou has already evinced, that be
knows how to maintain his power either in Peace
or War, being assured of the neutrality of the neisgh-
bouring Powers.

FLORENCE, SEPT. B.—Our Sovereigns and the
Prince CHARLES Louis set off from this city on
the morning of the 4th, with a suite of about eighty
persons, and a numerous guard. The KING has been
detained at Pisa by a slight indisposition, but it is
hoped that in two or three days he will be able to
continue his journey to. Leghorn, to embark on board
the Squadron which is-to convey the Royal Family
to Spain.

• At Selmeston Fair, on Monday last, the shew of
cattle, sheep, and lambs, was much larger than had
heen witnessed at that place for a great number of
years past, but the sale was so extremely dull that
very tew of either kind found purchasers, though the
prices experienced a very considerable depression.
A pen of lambs, for which the proprietor asked 2ss.
brought him.only I 7s. per head.—The fine weather
occasioned the attendance at this fair to be unusually
numerous.

At Arundel, Groombridge, and Robertsbridge
Fairs, on Saturday, sheep and lambs also met a
heavy sale at reduced prices.
Last Thursday a fire happened in the parish of
Puricknole, five miles from Bridportond burnt out
tz poor families. _Amongst the sufferers was one
George Walbregg, who lived in a cottage of his
own, and had been. bed-riddenfor nine years ; yet
such was the effeet of the fright; that it restored
him to the temporary use .of his limbs ;he walked
about among those who had been burni out with
him,
,to many of whom, though such near neigh-
bours, he was totally unknown, on account of his
long lirevious confinement.-
