The Commitlion of Engineers and Officers of
Artillery, fent by Government into the four new
Departments, on the Left Bank of the Rhine, to
determine the belle &nations for the conaration of
fortteffes of the firft rank, have already Surveyed
the Hundfruck, and the Banks of the Nahe and
Mofelle, and tranftnitted a variety of plans to the
Milliner at War. It appears that the aty of
Creutznach, faulted on the Nahe, will be
forti-
fied, and that another forma is to be ended on
the Mofelle, between 'heves and Coblentz.
According to accounts from Berne, of the z silt,

dergo come changes before its final diffolution.—
Riz Companies of Helvetic Troops had been fent
to Lucerne, to maintain tranqudhty al &ants, and ,
in the vicinity.
Letters from Philiplburgh, dated the t tth infl.
late, that a few days before M. de Taarrsuas,

foat in ronfequence of an order received by ezprefs
rom the Archduke Criaa Les, arrived in that for-
trefs, for the purpofe of examining the Rate of the

reset commenced, and is going on with great
waiver.
According to accounts received at Rochefort,
from Cayenne, there fill remain in that deflruc-
tive Colony, fiztrnine tranfported priefts. There
unfortunate perfons were apprized that the Go-
vernment had fent three veffels to bring them
home, but that they had been captured on the
paffage by the' Englifh. Hope, however, fill
cheered their exile. " Evety morning," fays one
of thefe tidims in his letter, " we turn our eyes
towards the Eaf, in expeaation of defcrying the
veffels that are to carry us hence. For three years
have we lived in hope ; and we will not relinquifh
that hope but with our !men breath. It required
only a nod from the Diredory to plunge us into
a gulph of mifery, and the firm refolution of a jail
'Government has not yet been able to deliver us
from it. It is eafy to perform an injury, but dif-
ficult to repair it. The old and refpeaable Don
is about to revifit France. How happy mull this
old man be in returning, at the age of feventy
years, to his native foil, which zoo of our compa-
nions, young and robuft, when they left it, will
never more *old."

It is confidently afferted that the French and
Auftrian Governments have fettled a particular
regulation relative to their refpedive Minifters.—
Each Government is to grant to the other's Am-
baffador a Refidence, a Guard of Honour, and the
juritiliaion over the individuals of his own nation,
at the place of his refidence.
They write from l'Orienr, that an Englifb cot.-
fair, armed as a lugger, was, while vifiting, on the
night of the t ith of Auguft, the Danifh fhip .the

and laden with felt fills for L'Orlent, guilty of car-
rying off all her papers.

cuate Holland, will immediately fet out from chit

Letters received yefferday from Rotterdam,
Rate, that the Englifh fquadrons and cruizers have
again refuined their Rations off the Hies of Wal.
cheren and Goree, and before the ports of Brill,

Letters from Middleburgh Rate, that for (bine
days the number of Englifh (hips of war cruising
off the wellern point of the Ilk of Walcheren, at
the mouth of the Scheldt. and before Fluffing
Roads, has onfiderably increafed, and two (hips of
the line and Tome frigates, fuppofed to belong to
the fquadron of Admiral Guavas, have been Teen
in thole Roads. It teems certain that the move-
ments of the enemy have no other objet but to
prevent the departure from Flufhing Bay of the
divifion of (hips of war there colleaed. At all
events, however, meafures of precaution have been
adopted at the entrance of the Road. and along
part of the ifle of Walcheren. On the other hand,
tlsere remains in the county of Cadfant, a corps of
troops fufficient to the defence of it. Several bat.
series have been thrown up on different parts of

Accounts from Ravenna, mention a tragical
event which lately took place in that city, and
which had produced the moll fatal confequences
" A French foldier, of the t rth Regiment of Dra-
goons, having milted with tome children who were
engaged in play in the town of Ports Nouva,
gave one of them a flight flap on the head. The
child ran home crying ; on which the child's bro.
