are to be in force, between the prefent Sovereigns
and the fubjeas, particularly the Princes and Counts
heretofore Members of the Germanic Body. It is

true that the rights of Sovereigns and of Princes
become fubjeas, are defined in a general manner by
the At ticles 25 and 27 of the aft of Confederation—
but the heretofore immediate Princes. and the Sove•
reigns, endeavour each to interpret in their own
favour the terms of thefe articles, particularly in
what regards the revenues.
Some Sovereigns of the Confederation, in order to
put an end to thefe uncertainties, have publithed de-
clarations, determining the revenues that are to
remain to the Princes heretofore Sovereigns.
The King of Bavaria was the Ara to iffue this de-
claration, and it is praifcd as exceedingly jull and

generous.
The fecond declaration, which was iitued by the
Government of Baden, is more rigorous. The laft
is that of the Grand Duke of Heffe Darmfladt, which
was very recently publitbed. It is framed upon the
declaration of Bavaria ; but it withholds certain
rights, which the King of Bavaria had granted to
the Princes become fubjeas. Other effential articles
in it are too vaguely expreffed.
All Germany is anxious that the Diet of Frank.
fort fhouM decide the fate of the Princes become
fubjeas, that there may be eftablithed in that refpea
an unity of principles in all the States that compofe

the Rhenifh Confederation.
Although the confervation of the Revenues be the
chief objcit of folicitude with thole Princes, there is
Rill another quellion, which gives rife to frequent I
difputes, and that is, the political rank of thefe an-
cient S..vereigns.
The King of Wirtemberg has prohibited from being
prefentcd at Court, every individual of the ancient
i.nmediate nobility, who is not employed in the fer-
vice of the State, and who has not obtained a title.
A much more important objeft, is, the fixing the
conflitutional power of the Sovereigns of the Ger-
manic Confederation. A Journal, which is fuppofed
to be under the proteetion of the Prince Primate,
expreffes itfelf very energetically on this fubjed, and
loudly invokes the intervention of the great Monarch
who gave a contlitutional frame to the Grand Duchy
, of Poland.—" This legiflative hero," lays the Jour-
nalift, " 4 will certainly not leave Germany in the
, (tate of uttcr anarchy in which it is now plungeel."

Tuefday lall five tranfports, with troops on board,

Regiments, and a part of two battalions of the King's
German Legion. This morning the sth and 23d

Wednefday lark about 200 recruits marched into
Canterbury, on their route to join the Denbigh mi-
litia at Margate, and on the fame day nearly a timilar
number joined the Weft Norfolk at Canterbury.
In the county of Norfolk the proper officers have
determined, that sot. is the average price of a tublii-
tote for the militia ; yet in this county we find that
so guineas have been offered and refuted.
The 97th (QEeen's German) Regiment is ordered
to Brabourne Lees, where it is expetted to arrive on
the 3oth and 3 tit inft.
It is underflood that provided the wind is fair for
their proceeding to the Downs, part of the troops
expelled with Admiral Moattay from South Arne-
, rica, viz. the firft battalions of the sth, 36th, 38th,
4oth, and 4sth, will be difembatked at Deal, and
Rationed in the Kent dilltia ; but should the wind
be contrary on their arrival at Spithead, they are to
be difembatked at Pottfmouth, and marched into the
1 Suffix diftria.

LEWES. DECEMBER tt.

Lai! Tuefday two troops of the King's German
Legion light horfe, arrived here on their march into
Kent. They were dreffed in uniform fpencers, lined
and trimmed with thick fur, which gave them a very
fierce and formidable appearance. The privates all
wear lathes, to dittinguith them from the privates of •
other regiments.-
Laft Tuefday morning, as the fccond dragoons.
Rationed at Chichetter Barracke, were exercifing in
marching order, on the fide of St. Roche's Hill, on
palling down the Reep, the horfe of the matter of the
band fell with him, and unfortunately broke one of
his legs. He was taken from the ground, fuffering
under great agony ; but the fraftured bone being
Coen afterwards reduced, we hear, that he now lies
in a fair way of recovery.
One day laR week, a fmuggling logger, heavily
laden with contraband goods, was fazed by one of
his Majefty's cruizers, off Bexhill, and taken into
Newhaven harbour. The lugger is quite new, and
was taken with her fir( freight.
A (hocking accident happened at Beckley, in
this county, on Wednefday lall.—A fine little boy,
the fon of a labouring man of that parith, was burnt
to death, in the abfcnce of his mother, who impru-
dently left him in a room where there was a fire, to
be taken care of by his brother, not more than four
years old. The urfor innate little fufferer, on finding
his clothes in a blaze, ran, with his affrighted bro.
ther to the (Ireet door, where their cries brought .e
man from a neighbouring barn to their affiltance,
who loon extinguithed the flames, but the child was
fo mifcrably (torched that it expired, in great agony,
a few hours after.
