the moft intereding article by this conveyance ;
FRAN ER pnRT, SEPT. i I.—The Note which is raid
to have been addreffed by M. Novositozora to the
Court of &olio, has been publiflred in the German
Journals. The falfe affertions which it contains, and
the grange pretenfions which it manifzils, the total
want of decorum which'cliarafterifes that pretended
State Paper, do not permit the underfigned to re-
main filent on its publication. He has received for-
mal orders to communicate to his Excellency M. de

doubt but that they will be fufficient to ratify the im-
preffions which might have been produced by a paper,

WINTZINGELODI and Prince PANGRATION are gone
to the army, whither the Emperor is alfo going In a
day or two. The head quarters will be at Wilna.
Thirty thoufand men will embark here and at Re-
val. The Government is every day hiring a number
of merchant (hips at the rate of forty-five fhillings Rev-
ling per ton per month.
Under thefe eircomftances the Courfe of Exchange
has fuddenly rifen fo much, that a Dutch ducat of
three rubles and eighty copecks, is now at four rubles
fifty copecks, but it will probably go down again.
