RATIF SON, OCT. 26.—The Deputation of the
Empire has held to day it; twentieth fitting. The
Nlinifter has made cornTnunication of im Ad-
drcfs from the Imperial Plenipotentiary. After
the perufal of this, the Minifter from Bohemia
made, in the name of his auguft conllituent, a de-
claration to the fame effe&. This is the purport:
" His Imperial Majefty ha• been plea: •.l to announce, by
his Sub-dele,tate to the Deputation Enna:dinar), of the Em-
pire, that having, agreeably to his anxiety for the maintenance
of tranquillity, removed every obi-cache which oppofrd the rue-
s:cf.% of his nerntiations at Parts, and havit,g taken for the bafis
t., the eisitclutive arrangement the f .pplesoca:t of indemnity of-
fercil by the Fivnic7i Government Heir, for his Royal kligh-
nefs the Grand Duke of l'ufcaity, his Majeliy hopes to fee in-
Itantly eftablithed an arnteablz undt !ttanditie, which will have
for its Moue: late eorifequence the molt fatiifaaory regulaticn
of t!.c hunref. with which the Deputation is charged. Since
from the nature of :his afrair, liniserial Majefty mutt re-
((rye to himfelf a final approbation, helus nn doubt hut that
the co-El:ate% s hich form a part of the Deputation, will con-
tent thernfelvcs with this preliminary declaration, and will re-
po;i: in him, oti that head, the confie.em e which he thinks he
merits, after having given fo many rn)cfs of the ancerity of his
view., and the moderation of his fentiments."

Tie majority of the Deputation received this dc-
claration with marks of the moil lively intereft.
The following Note from the Swedi(h Mini(ler
was delivered on the a 3d ult.

" The tinderfigned Minifter Planipotentiary of his Nlaj fly
the King of Sweden, to the Gener:.l Diet of the Empire, thinks
that the moment is come to break 01 nee, fince the Germanic
Empire s threatened with new dr.tsgers and diforders,and that
in cireumflances which ought to h ive induced all the Monbtrs
of the Empire to unite with their Ca ief to maintain an indepen-
dence, without which it can neithee have dura!)le tranquillity
nor falay. Th King of Sweden, who finds himfelt in the
happy fituatinn of not having fufLiined, during the war, any
lof• in his countries, is too generous to with for an encreafe of
Terr»ory in German? : and in coat.quence has had nothing in
view hut the real welfare of the (l rmanic Empire, the main-
tenance
of its laws and indepen ce. Anima-od with thee
fen: Talents, his Swedi Is Majefty muld, however, have heti-
tated to take a decided part in the airs of Germany. If he had
not learned that Foreign Powers' crmeddled with the prefent
important dikuifion, and if he ha not thought himfell, in con-
recuence, fully authorized, is his uality of a State of the Em-
pire, and a guarantee of its Con tution, to take a part in it
alfo. The Kin' acknowledges the' met-airy of changes in the
Germane Empire as a confeq •calte of the equitable principle
which has been adopted; that is to fay, that the Princes, who,
from the ficklenefs of fortune, in the Late war, have loft their
old poffeMons, thou al be indenutiacd by otl-.4.: countries ; but
he thinks alfo, that, a;.e• or • ing to tb at p inciple, the proceeding
thould be carried on with the groateft equity and juftice, and
that thofe only who have Cult:lined tifealveL;T:s thould obtain
indemnities. His bdajefty confatzt i:, in fine, a duty to tepeat
to the Genes/AZ:in* of the Eppire the ob!"..rvation, that,
by the taking th ferrcilZepofferion countriesof which are not yet
legally adjudgld to one or other of the States, a eaegerous and
illegal example has been given, and that it is in asofequence
reccirarY to guard againft the refultal fuck proceedings by an
es et-vie declaration. (Sfgned) ICANUT fILDT."

FR *NCR FORT, NOV'. z.---The Council of Berne,
on the 27th ult. appointed to the command of the
place of Berne, the Chief of Brigade, HOPI', Ci.
&UM/ Infpeeor of the Militia of the Canton of
Cberland, in the place of Citizen FERRIER, Chief
of the Fiat Aux:liary Demi-brigade. The Diet
of Schwitz Rill maintains fovereign command in
the cour.tries occupied by the patriots. Their pa-
tr.des frequently extend to Baden and Mellinguc.
The rioops of the Little Cantons are not yet dif-
banded ; their advanced polls, which were on the
27th at Schup(heim, in the Canton of Lucerne, re-
ce; Yed, at four o'clock, orders to fall back upon
the field of battle. The patriots on the 27th an-
nounced their at at Langnau, but they have
changed their intention. It is faie that Monfietir
AUF-DER MAUR has refolved to make as attempt
upon Berne, but it is doubted whether he will Me-
rced. Deputies from Emanthal are come to bolt-
cir troops. Advice; from IL ow flee, that the
patriot, having refufed to fuffer a battalion of the
tc.;th Demi-brigade to pals, an engagement took
;lace between them, the refult of which was, a
lofs of nine men and two pieces of cannon on the
part f tlte patriot!. Letters from Aran announce
that city had lately a narrow cfcape from being
pillaged by a band of patriots. It owed its latity
merely to the aCtivity of the PrefeCt, who repaired
to Nlity, of Schoftland, and perfuaded him not to
let his troops enter. The derachment of the 2d
auxiliary Demi-brigade has brought to Bente a
convoy of four pieces of cannon, and is waggons
of military limes, which the patriots had concealed
in Übe; land. Two French (Keels let out on the
akttli, one for St. Maurice, and the taller for Lau.
faone, with orders to the divilions commanded by
General, TVRE A U and St:RAs to fet out immedi-
ately on their march. It wili be recolleeted, that
the Commune of Morat had a very confiderable
contribution laid upon it by General A NDERMATT,
fa. having received the Helvetic troops in a hoftile
matincr upon their entrance. Hostages were token
to feenrelhe payment. They have been tamed
to their 'families, and the fum entirely fill given.—
We find, in our German Papers, force curious de-
tails ovon die counter-revolutionary me:ifures
vhich Nave been taken by the patriots. For ex-
ample. the Council of Education, provilionally
sit Lucerne, has banished from the
feinalls''all the ncw elementary Looks; it has for-
bidden the Ililofiaphy of KANT to be taught in
them, and ordered, for the re-eflablifhment of
rood Morals, 1114 c-the fcholars should refurne their
mmties. The fame Papers alto Rate, General
