We are concerned to Rate, that yeaerday even-
ing the coffer-dam, which !Cried to bay out the
Thames from the works carrying on at the NO.V
Docks, Blackwall, gave way, by which unhappy
accident feveral of the workmen loft theit lives,
the rupture having been fo fudden that they could
not all extricate themfelyes from their perilous
lituation. A gentleman 'landing by law it be-
gin to bura, and called nut to the men, by which
tner.73 a number efcaped. But for this notice a
much greater number muR have been drowned.
Four, we underiland, have fince been taken out,
and ten, it is laid, are miffing.
It was repotted that the whole Docks had thus
been prema•.urely filled with water, which would
have been a National calamity. We are happy to
tlate th it Ibis is not the cafe; the works having
been :tented by a dam within the one that has
given way. it ntanbzr of Engineers an'd work-
men `are cmplayeCi in thatch:3 up and (tenting
the inner darn to pre icut its blowing up by the
weight of water it has'now to Main.

It is again afTertecl in letters from the Hague.l
that on the asth of June, a Treaty was concluded
at Paris, by which the Porte grants to France the
free navigation of the Black Sea.
On the fame authority we learn, that another
Treaty was figned at Paris on the 2111 of May,'
during the period of the Hereditary Prince of
Oaairu refidence in that capital. in which the
King of Pauss la renounces formally the guaran-
tee entered into in the year 1788, of the Stadt-
I holderfhip of the United Provinces, recognifes the
Batavian Republic, and promifes to fend an Am-
balitdor to refide at the Hague.
The Hereditary Prince alto renounces, in his
father's and his own name, all pretenfions upon
the Batavian Republic : for this renunciation the
Houfe of Nafau Orange is to receive the Bifhopric
and Abbey of Fulda, the Abbey of Corvey, the
Abbey of Weingardten and its dependencies, and
the Imperial Towns of Dortmund, in Wefiphalia,
and Yfny and Buckham, in Suabia.
Some private letters mention that the Bavarian
troops, who were on the point of marching to take
poifeflion of the Bavarian indemnities, have re-
ceived counter-orders. It is faid that, though the
Em P F ROIL of Russia and Kin° of Pzussi A agreed
at Memel ;to the principal points propofed by
France, yet that the two Northern Powers are de-
firous of Tome changes in points of finaller ifitpor-
unce, which, however, will delay the butinefs for
fume time. •

The foreign Journals contain a copy of the
Convention between the Deputies of the Valais,
and the Minifter of the French Republic, which
is one of the molt curious State-Papers ever pub-
Med. It begins by Rating, that "the Valais (hall
form a/iv:and independent Republic, feparate from
the Helvetic Republic, and the adjacent States,
under the prote&ion of the three Republics of
France, Helvetia, and Italy. It then proceeds
to enaa, by a variety of articles, that the Valais
fliall maintain and keep in repair the great roads
leading through it from France to Italy, and
that the French troops (hall at all times have
a free patrage. The concluding article fets forth,
that " as the Valais (hall have neitherAmbaffadors,
Kmifters, nor political or commercial Agents with
foreign powers, and that as it (ball only receive
thofe of France, Italy, and Helvetia, the Agents of
tthe French Republic (hall protea in the countries
where they reticle the citizens of the Valais, who
may require their good offices." Such a mockery
of freedom and independence has not before occur-
red during the hillory of the Revolution. Here
is a fret and independent Republic efiablifhed and
acknowledged, for what? For no other purpofe
than to keep the roads in repair which commu-
nicate between BONATAITI'S two kingdoms!
We this morning received Paris Journals to the
zoth
Letters from Brea Rate, that ToussAIMT•LOU•
VERTURE is Rill on board the Hero, where he will
remain till the pleafure of Government refpeaing
him is known.

In the Bulletin de Paris, a paper which poffef-
fes fame claims to official authority, there appears
an extra 4 of a letter from Hamburgh, containing a
moil extraordinaty outline of the changes which it
is faid to be in contemplation to introduce into the
acne' Government. This fcheme will be found de-
tailzd at length in another part of this Paper. It
would be premature to offer any obfervations on this
ftatcment in the form in which it now appears. It
may, however, be fuppofed that unlefs fome peat
change in the form of the French Government were
not in contemplation, no fpeculation fo extraordi-
nary as this would be fuffered to iffue from the
French Preis. That any change of the nature de-
-1 fcribed will be adopted feems extremely doubtful,
The Chief Conful already enjoys the utmoft pleni-
tude of authority, and we can hardly fuppofe that he
is fo much a flave to vanity as to with a nominal
change, without any fubilantialacquifition ofconfe-
quence, dignity, or power. The whole plan,as now
defcribed, appears quite unworthy of being coun-
tenanced by the CH IST CONSUL. It is a mere alte-
ration of names, without a (Ingle change in the con-
ftitution, from which any thing beneficial could be
expt:dled. If BONAPARTE can favour loch delu-
lions as thefe, he muft neceffarily be confidered in
the eyes of Europe a much lefs refpettable per-
fonage than by his preceding condna he has ap-
peared. His former aiftions only difplay the ex-
tent of his ambition. In his defire to prefide over
the Government of a great people, there was Come.
thing to fecure refped, and even admiration. The
change now propofed could originate only from
the moil contemptible vanity,

Sir JOHN BOR LAS e WARNS!, was appointed Am-
bafrador to the Court of Peterlburgh, in conk-
quence of 4n immediate requell to his Majarry
from the Emecaoa, that one of his Naval Com-
manders might be delegated on that minion.
The Ambitious Continental Powers will confider
the rebellious Rate of the Ottoman dominions as a
very favourable opportunity for theirfriendly inter-
ference; although they may think it prudent to
wait a little longer, until the contending parties
than have either exhanned themfelves, or, what
would be as had, itrcitta(the alliance oftbefs divideil
of Empires.

We hear much of the etiquette of Madame Bo-
NAFARTE's drawing room, yet the honours paid to
this Lady are rather a matter of courtefy than
right. In Monarchies a Ryan is recognifed by law.
and 4 rank and honours decreed aceprdingll. In
the French Conititetion we perceive no proviCoo
of this kind made for the wife of the Comm., nor
any tie by which her perfou is connected With the
State.
