The greatest stagnation prevails in our port, which
is a proof of the strict execution of the measures en-
joined against the commerce of England. Our forti-
fications, which suffered much in the last siege, are
now replaced in a better condition than they were in
before that event. The repairs were executed by the
troops of the garrison. The limits of our territory are
definitively fixed by an arrangement with Prussia.

STUTGARD, SEPTEMBER 17.
His Majesty returned to this city some days since.
It is supposed he will make a new journey very soon
—but nothing certain is yet known on that head.
