t's.t.ting. (*the Diet of the
21st instart, all tii'(!. ti ult thiiC were in airear were

given. . .
The following are the .reitiitt in the three Col-
leges.
. . . ,
The College of Cities was unanimous for the
adoption of the ph'n or the Zsth of ilebreary,as it
had lieen decreed by the Deputation.,
In
Jim Elettorar College, the Arch Chancellor;
Brandentiurg, Saxony, Hanover, and Bavaria, aIK:
vuti. 1 for the entire adoption. ,
In the College of Princes, flfty.fnir votes were
for an entire adoption, and seven for a divkion..
No deliberation of the Diet has given rise to
greater majority. The division demanded by one
vote in the Elettoral College, and by seven in the
College of Princes, was not an oppwition, but e.
sort dieser ve, which disappeared before the opinion
of so great a majority.
The votes being then collet-led, and the Diretlory
of the Diet having proceeded to the preparation of
the Definitive AA, it is probable that the Sitting.
of the zi.th inst. would terminate all the labours of
the Diet, by •an extremely imposing mrijority.—.

Reports have been spread-respeBing Martinique;
whkh are unfounded. According to the latest in_
telligence receit,ed by Government; that Colony i 4
in the best state ; the sickness had entirely ceased;
and the loss of men which had been experienced
was repaired by the arrival of a Battalion of the
84. th Demi.brig:ide of the Line, 650 strong, all in
the best state of liealth.--Obid.)

the French, Republic to Portugal, arrived at the en-
trance of the Tagui on the itst of Febtsiary. The
Frigate which carried thither that Minister and
his Suite, anchored in the Putt at seven in the

Accounts from Constantinople, of the 18th Feb.;
say, that the French Squadron only waits for a fa-
vourable wind 'to set sail ; and that the last advicia
from Egypt state, that the Transpoits are already
arrived at Alexandria, on boaid,of which the Eng-
lish Troops Were to embark.
HAGUE. MA.RCH• 24,—Since our last, we have
received no certain intormation in regard to the
question of Peace or War. Accoiding to the in-
telligence from Paris most worthy of crediti every
thing seems to announce that the Negotiation now
carrying on between the French and English 'Go.
vernments.„ will be brought to an amicable concht,
sion. In regard to the inareb of the French Trooo,
which has already been .joblicly mentioned; it is
understood that it. will not take place unless ho'sti-
lities, should unexpeaecily commence, of which,
however, we have as ret no cause to be apprehen-
sive. With regard to the French Armament destine.
ed for. Louisiana, which is how lying ready in the
Harbour of Helvoetsluys, nothing certain nay been
made public.. We only know that the embarkation
is continued, and, will be completed by the end of
this week. Yesterday, and the day before, about
2000 French 'hoops of the First Brigade of Infantry
of the 'Line, arrived at Helvoetsluys from Bois.le.
Due, in order Logo on board the Fleet. Gen. Vic-
TOR, with his whole Staff, and a great many Civil
and Military Officers destined for Louisiana, remain
still in this city.
MARCH 29. The Batavian Government has
received • official intelligence from its Ainbassacfor
in London, that although. a Cabinet order of the
34th of Onnber was dispatched to the Commanding
Officer at the Cape, to suspend the evacuatiowoi
that place till further orders, and which had had the
consequence already known, another' Order of the
Cabinet had been made up to the i6th of November
succeeding, containing definitive orders for the eVa-
CUittioll of the Cape, which went from England
on the loth ; so that the Cape has now been for
some time in the hands_ of the Batavian Govern.
ment.

Although the period appointed for the sailing of
the. Celebrated French Expeditionplouisiana stilt
remains a secret, every thing seems to he brought in'
readiness fur its departure at a satire. Tine
Troops which lately arrived from. Beis•le.,Duc are
now all embarked.

ROTTFRDAM, MARCH 29. Notwithstanding
that our Government received' a half.officild protrtist:
that no rcench Troops should enter our ter:4(4y.
till hostilities ahually commenced, there is now a
report in circulation, and pretty generally credited,
that 6600 of our old friend' have entered Bred,.,
from whence they •are to be distributed into the L,e-
verril cities oldie Republic. If this'be true, it will
not be long before the"number will be considerably
sugnented.
BERN it, MARCH. i4;—Lettcrs have been recetv.
ed here, which . mention that the ship,on bOard ut
which the Battalion of iielvetio Auxiliarie4 hart been
embarked for St. Domingo, wns overtaken by a vio-
lent storm sulk' Gilraltat, and that. every soul
perished.

STUTGARD, MARCH 23.--According to private
Letters from Paris, alluded to by tite Algoseide
Zeatmg, the opinion is generally prevalent there,
that a rupture with 4nglarici is inevitable.. It is
asserted even, that the Fran Cot sus. said, on the
13th, before several persons—.

" We have made War for ten years—we ,will make it for
ten years more."

And upon another occasion 'he ,said to Lord
WHirwoant, after having inquired with much
affability about his health, and alter 'having spoken
of the approaching fine, weather--.

" In order that the 1101)1 of po9sessing among up,
atthis period be realised, it rill certainly be neue.ssary that
your Governmedt should change -43 gon:lud. What does
this Messagt tne4h 1 ls ,only to impr“; terror ?
great rowers. like Fiance and L ngl,irat„. v..irinot-trieke each

The Ft RiT CONSUL then addressed to,
the Russian M" un ter, wt'lto tv.ts near the Englibit
Ambassador, and said to him in the' most serious
tone,

," I f War be renewed, let all Treaties -be covered with
Crape.,-God and Europe will judge us;"

On the other hand, some persons pretend to have
heard, from the mouth of the Minister,- that it w.ti
four to one in favour of Peace; it is asserted even
