LONDON, SEPTEMBER 30,180 z.

Yesterday a IVlessenger.arrived from Paris, with
Dispatches from Mr. MERRY, by which we under-
stand that no day is fixed for M. ANoßEossi's de-
parture from Paris, though he is prepared to set
out at a few hours notice. Mr. SEBASTIAN! had
left Paris far Algiers, accompanied by Mr. Jo B E RT.
Whether the latter has any particular mission does
not appear.

WE this morning r2.eeised the Paris Papers of
the 27th inst. They contain the details of the
very important Proceedings at Ratishon upon the
stibjeCt of the Indemnities. The EMPEROR of GER-
MANY has, as we before stated, absolutely refused
to concur in the Plan proposed by Russia and France,.
and adopted by the Deputation. The Notes presented
to the Deputation in consequence of this refusal by.
the French and Russian Ministers, are couched in very
strong language, particularly the former, in which
the Hereditary Dominions of Bavaria, as well as
the Territory allotted to the ELECTOR by way of
indemnity, are declared to be under the protection of
the Mediating Powers ; and the First Consul declares
that he.perconaily will not suffer Paaau to remain in
the hands of Austria ; nor will he permit Austria to
obtain any part of the Bavarian Territory on the
Right Bonk of the Inn. Af er this positive decla-
ration, the Court of Vienna will probably :eel the
propriety of retraaing its refusal, and yielding to
the imperious necete;ity of the caie.

The price of the Funds is not mentioned.

A flamb4rgh /11^i: arrived this morning, but its
contents are anticipated by the French Pacers.

Yesterday the Hon. Colonel SMITH, Surveyor-
General and Speaker of Ueper Canada, arrived at
the Secretary of State's Office, in Downing_street,
from Scotland : he brought Dispatches from His
Ex.cellency General HUNTER to the Right Hon.
Lord HoBART, This Gentleman let't Quebec in
August, and met the Transports with the 49th
Regiment, in the River St. Lawrence.
On Monday the PRINCE of WALEs reviewed the
Artillery attached to his own Regiment, who went
through their tiring and evolutinos with great ad..
dress. The PRirct attended to the management
of the guns and bombs with much earnestness. It
took 'pace at Codstone-bottom, about two miles
west of Brighton.

The DUKE of CUMBERLAND has taken lodgings
at Worcester, and is daily e.Y.peCted in that City,
where, it is understood, he intends to spend some
time with his Regiment, the Head-quarters of which
are at that place.

His Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE
has obtained the passing of a Law in Hanover, by
which every legal process in that Eleaorate must
be concluded within one year.

A Morning Paper seems to take great pleasure
in stating, from motives which we can perfetly
understand, that a coolness subsists between the late
and present Premier. We have no hesitation in
giving -it as our opinion, that it is impossible that
any misunderstanding can prevail between two men,
every part of whose conduct. proves that 'an entire
devotion to the welfare of the Country is the sole
guide of all their actions. Nor will we believe, that
amongst the numerous honourable Friends with
whom either is surrounded, and who are generally
considered as common to both, there can exist one
miscreant who could he diTosed to make an attempt
(which would certainly fail) to cause a disunion be-
tween two individuals, to both of whom the Country
owes such lasting obligations.

We are sorry to observe the industry with which
reports are circulated to the disadvantage of the re-
gulations now making by Lord ST. VINCENT, in
the different departments under his coutroul ; and
particularly that of the Sea-Officers being ordered
to live within a certain distance of the Sea-ports,
'hich arose entirely from the circumstance of his
Lordship having given direaions during his visita-
tion, that the differ,:r t Clerks should reside suffi-
ciently near to the I),_.ck-yards to ensure their early
and regular attendance, an inattention to which has
occasioned considerable expellee a.td inconvenience
to the Public.

THE BEAUX STRATAGEM.

Miss MARK toT, who made so favourable an im.
pression on the Public in the part of Clarinda, last
night assumed that of Mri. Sidlen in this excellent
Comedy.

The same observations will apply to this Lady's
performance on the present occasion as on her debut.
She possesses good sense, and understands the business
of the Stage, but if she were to give fair play to
the (lit-tares of that good sense, and to trust to her
own feelings, she would be much more successful.—
At present, as we said before, she appears to be too
disciplined and artificial. Whenever she had any
thing like pathetic sentiment to utter, she was
natural and interesting, but in all the gay and
piquant passages She was much too affeted in her
pronunciation and deportment,--44er Mrs. Sall,.
altogether was, however, much above the powers
of the present race of genteel Adresses.
LEWIS'S Archer had all his wonted spirit.
JOHNSTONE'S Foigard is the very best that has
been seen for many years.
We advise Mu ND EN not to be quite so luxuriant
in his Scrub, but to remember what Hamlet said a
night or two ago, " let your thrums say no more
than is set down for them." IVIuNuEN took the
liberty of introducing a bit of a song in the part,
which, in this ghostly age, might well have roused
the indignant spirit of the insulted FA-11(OHAI.

the death of Wt AN CH ISH9 LI4 s, Esq.' of Queen

speetable member Of society, and whose death is

reason to know his claims to that appellation were
unfounded.

The Essex Agricultural Society held their Gene-

The Medals were distributed to the several suc-

of Wheat and other grain ; and also the Annual

for the inspection of the Society, an ir,strument cal-
culated to deliver seed-wheat after the dibbler, irt'a
more regular and expeditious mode than that gene-
rally practised by the hand : it was highly approv.
ed of for its simplicity, and recommended as worthy
of general adoption.

RATISBON, SEPT. z 5--The fourth Sitting of
the Deputation held yesterday, commenced by read-
ing the following Document, transmitted on the 13th
by the Baron DE HUGEL.

DECREE OF THE IMPERIAL COMMISSION,

ADDRESSED TO THE EXTRAORDINARY DEPUTA.

TION OF THE EMPIRE.

" The Imperial Commission having seen by
the notice of the Extraordinary Deputation of the
9th inst. and by the Votes given in the two last
Sittings, which have served for a basis, that accord-
ing to its convition and its unanimous judgment,
there existed well-founded Reclamations against
the Plan of Indemnities proposed by the Ministers
of the Mediating Powers ; that the Deputation
has also reserved all observations which it may
judge to be its duty to make, and that fully con-
vinced of the good intentions of those Powers, with
respeft ti the Germanic Empire, it promises the un-
reserved communication of those Reclamations and
Observations.

" The Imperial Commission thinks it to be its
duty to depart from the supposition, that it is
the intention of the Deputation to make all those
observations which it is bound to do, accord.
ing to its instrudions, and the duties which re-
sult from the dispositions of the Treaty of Lune-
; that the idea of reserved modifications in.
eludes all the amplifications and restrictions which
a legal discussion of all the parts of the Plan can.
not fail to give birth to ; and that out of the
regulation of these observations, and well.founded
Reclamations, there may be expected with confi-
dence, as well from the justice of the • Mediating
Powers as from their resped for the inviolable
rights of an Independent State, an arrangement
conformable to the stipulations of the Treaty of
Luneville. The Imperial Commission cannot
conciliate with this point of view, nor with this
mode of deliberation, the declatution made by the
Deputation to the Ministers of the Mediating,
Polders, namely, If That the Deputation accepts pre.
viously the Plan of Indemnities in general." From
such an adoption it most be foreseen, that each
party who is to be indemnified accortling to the
Plan, will consider himself as having acquired the
right of insisting on what is allotted to him, on-
sitackka by I.llc tliniigus and modincatiuns rendered
necessary by the Reclamations. It must be equally
incompatible to reserve expressly observations of
this nature, and at the same time be deprival of the
means of satisfying them, as the Indemnities being
already Axed by the Plan adopted, and the
from whence they are taken being nearly exhgosted,
tilere remains very little to satisfy those Reclama-
dogs which are founded in justice,
" Lastly, the nature of the business exacts, be.
fore the adoption of the Plan in general, that the
Deputation should previously occupy itself with the
examination of the observations made against sae.
ral of its parts, and infer from the result of the exa--
mination of each, in what situation the whole ought
to stand.

cc In this state of affairs, the Imperial Commis-
sion has been eager to find in the second notice of
the Deputation, an occasion of uniting with the
opinion which it contains. Always disposed to con-
cur in every thing that can serve to accelerate
the labours of the Deputation, it declares itself
tq be ready to communicate without delay, the
three Reclamatiops mentioned to the Ministers of
the Mediating Powers; and it thinks that the corn.
munication ought to be accompanied by the follow.
ing Declaration :
4f We recognize with sensibility, that the two
" Powers have charged themselves with the me.
diation in a business equally important and
" complicated, and have submitted, by their
" Ministers to the Deputation, Declarations re.
lative to the regulation of the objetas reserved
" for a particular Convention in the sth and 7th
" Articles of the Treaty of Lnneville. Fully
" convinced of the good intentions of the• two
" Powers towards the Empire, and of their
" love of justice, we shall take care to com.
" municate to their Ministers the pressing Recta-
!' mations presented against the proposed plan, as
" well as the observations which the Deputation
itself may judge it necessary, according to its
_duty, to make in concert with the Laid Ministers
" after having obtained the requisite information, in
." order to Procure with impartial justice, for each
" the Indemnity due to him by virtue of the
Treaty of Lunevilie ; and to come as soon as pos-
" Bible to a resolution to he submitted to His Ito E..
atA.t. MAPISTY and the Empire."
ir The Imperial Commission expeEts to receive
shortly an ulterior notice from the Deputation : it
recommends to it at the same time, to take as
promptly as posale into consideration, the new Re.

clamations which may be presented. As to /any thing
furthers it cannot fail in making known the full as-
sent of His IMPERIAL MAJESTY to the principles
of Equity and Justice established by common ac-
cord in the first notice of the Deputation, with
respeft to those who, without having committed
any wrong on their part, have become the vitlims
of the Peace.

" The In perial Commission assures the Sub.
Delegates of its benevolent affeaion."

Ratishn, Sept. 13, 1802.
(Signed) BARON DE HUGEL."

After the reading, the DireEtorial Minister com.
municated to the Deputation two Notes similarly
worded, which he had received shortly before the
opening of the Sitting, from the Ministers of France
and Russia. These Notes relate to the Vote given by
the Sub-delegate of Bohemi'a in the first Sitting. The
deliberation having then commenced, Bohemia de-
clared that the new order of his Court imposed upon
Urn the obje6tion of persisting in the refusal which he
had before made, to accede to the admission of the
Plan contained in the Declaration of the Ministers
of the Mediating *Powers. Saxon, demanded that
the Direilory should Make to the Imperial Plenipo.
tentiary suitable representations to engage him to
accede to the Conchs:um adopted in the Sitting:
of the Bth. He then made some observations on
the expression of ce Decree of Commissioni" at
the head of the answer of the Plenipotentiary!
We think," he said, " that from that circumstance
there-appears to be in view some change in the na.
Lure of the relationsestalelished with the Deputation*
of the Empire." 41ratt1ra4urih also dwelt uport
the title of " Decree of the Imperial Commission.'
After a long digression upon the pubjeCf, lie passel;
to the object of deliberation, and expressed his :sou
prize that the Imperial Plenipotentiary, in such urgent •
circumstances, should wait sin days belote lie mani-
fested his sentiments, and then refused to accede to:
a resolution which had fur its objet the immediate
order, tranquillity, and happiness of Gemini*
He was of opinion, that the Co/mixt:on of the Bth, in
spite of the refusal to accedeto it can the part of the said-
Plenipotentiary, should be maintained and that the
Deputation should continue to negotiate with the
Ministers of the two Mediating Powers; although
the Imperial Plenipotentiary should not yield to the
Representations made to him by •the Diceetary.
The Vote of Saxon). has been convected into.
ContlAtum, as follows:
is Tne Direoory assigning inc reasons, contained
in the Protocol, will endeavour to engage cite Pleni-
potentiary of His lIKr ER lAL MAsESTT, no longo to
refuz.e his accession to the Conclusum adopted in the
Sitting of the Bth, and to communicate it as soon a 9
possible to the Ministers of the Mediating I,zowetl,
The Direaory will give at the same tune the 4:44
Plenipotentiary to understand, that its Decree,• an 4
the terms in which it is drawn up, will not ha''
for its objet the mistake with respea to the rcla-.
tions which subsist between the Deputation and'
the said Plpipotentiary."
After the settling of this Comelantie, the DI"
redory sitimicced to the deliberation• of the De.
potation, whether, in case of an overture in writ*
ing on the pact of the Imperial Plenipotentiary, '
might not be proper to make known to him, accord.'
ing to custom in writing, that the opinion of tilt.
Deputation would be Manifested to him verballt
by the Dire Cory. The Sob-Delegates havingo‘fr
ceded to this proposition; it was resolved that the
above Condusum should be communicated to eh.
Imperial Plenipotentiary in the ordinary form.
SEM 16.—The following is the important kkle
which M. LAFORET, the French Minister at Mi.
tisbon, has transmitted to the Deputation of the.

hut which has been, nevertheless, hitherto guaran-
teed by the policy of the Governments interested in

quires that Bavaria should remain entire, and be
s'ecured from ulterior invasion.,—What would the

The Paris Papers received yesterday, contain the
following horrid instance of depravity : An English
Lady about fifty years of age, who lately left Eng-
land to join her husband and family at Naples,-when
she arrived at Valence, hired .one of those public
-carriages called relais, and set out on the 31st Of
August; at one o'clock in the morning; to proceed
to Nlarseilles. Scarcely' had she travelled half -a
league, when the postillion, who is supposed w have
been drunk, began to take indecent liberties with
his passenger. The Lady, who did not understand
.FTench, feeling his hand about her pockets, suppos-
ed at first that he intended to rob her, but she
was soon undeceived. Convinced of her mistake,
she attempted to open the door and jump our, but
the driver seized her in a furious manner, twisted
her hands behind her back, and laying hold of her
. . •

hair, squeezed her throat. as if he had intended to
strangle her. The Lady, half dead with terror,
and the brutal treatment she experienced, could not
prevent his accomplishing his infernal purpose. The
unfortunate victim arrived at Donzere in the most
pitibus state, and having accidentally met with an
Interpreter, a complaint against the offender, writ..
ten in French, was transmitted to, the Constituted
Authorities, who immediately. took every proper
measure to cause the w be arrested.

in the cabin of the boat, and the smell of the bu'i-n4
ing cotton awaking.him, he instantly removed the
boat frcim under the .warehouse, anal extinguishetL
the fire, otherwise the consequence might have been
dreadful.
