FROM THE PARIS PAPERS.

HAGUE, AUGUST 3t.—The German Gazettes
announced tome days ago, that the Englifli had
carried a port of twelve men on the ifle of Gorce.
This intelligence is entirely falfe. The Englifb
have made no attempt either againft the Hies of
Got-cc and Zealand or againft the Texel.
RATISZON, Aucusr a6.—Saxony and Branden-
burgh voted yefterday in the College of the Elec-
tors. Saxony has demanded that a deputation,
chofen from among the Members of the Diet, %hall I
be charged to examine the loffes, and then to give
their opinion in a full Sitting, on the application
of the indemnities: in cafe any doubts fhould arife
they are to be fubmitted to the Diet. Branden-
burgh has voted as Magdeburgh.
- -

MUNSTER, AUG. 28.—1 t is confirmed that the
chapter of Munfter has obeyed the injuntion laid
upon it by the KING of Paussta, and that it will
not, proceed to the elelion of a Bilhop. For this
reafon the Bicnopric will not be occupied by Pruaian
troops.

The Margrave of "BADIM has given official no-
tice to his fubjeds, that in virtue of a convention
concluded with the French Republic, they may
freely repair to that country to fettle, without be-
ing obliged to pay the leaft impofition on their de-
parture.

According to intelligence from Germany, the
Duke of MODE N• has been invited by the French
General to declare in a categorical manner whe-
ther he will accept of the Brifgau ?

The Archduke Cue& Lss intends to repair to
Buda, in Hungary, on bufinefs relating to the mi-
litary feryice.

It is in agitation to reduce the number of Affef-
fors in the Imperial Chamber of Wetzlar.

WESEL, AUGUST 28.—The arrival of the Pruf.l
fian Mini(ler Baron Dome at Hildefheim, is for
the purpofe of accelerating the liquidation of the
different (urns due by the States of Upper Ger-
many to Pruffta, for maintaining the Pruffian army
of obfervation, which eafured the neutrality of
that country, and caufed the line of demarcation
to be refpeded by the belligerent powers during
the late campaigns : for this purpofe a Congrefs,
compofed of deputies from the different States of
Upper Germany, will be immediately opened at
Hildefheim.

Ana UST 3o.—The report of the fpeedy occupa.
tion of the Bi(hopric of Munfter, by a body of
PrufGan troops, is daily gaining ground: in regard
to the *my of General )(friar, which occupies
the Eledorate of Hanover, inflead of any idea of
evacuating that country, it is, on the other hand,
making the neceffary arrangements for taking up
its winter-quarters in that country: ,This circum-
fiance, which is well known, deranges a little the
fagacity of certain politicians.
COBLE/11'Z, Auousr a3.—The Prefell of the
Rhine and Mofelle has juft terminated the circuit
he made through this Department, in execution of
the decree of the Confuls, to receive the promife
of fidelity on the part of the inhabitants of the
country. He has traverfed the Iteep banks of the
Rhine and the Mofelle, and croffed the mountains
from the (bores of the Ahr to thole of the Nahe.
At every place he was received with a degree of
eagernefs which announced joy and hope ; every
where he found a well-meaning let of people, who
feemed to have no other expeCtation but that act
which fhould at length confecrate their union, and
enable them to difplay with confidence their natu-
ral qualities, and the refources offered them in va-
rious places by a foil yet untouched.
The inhabitants of Hundfruck have parti-
cularly celebrated with enthufiafm this union, fo
ardently &fired. They have (hewn on this occa-
fion that franknefs of charaaer, and that love of
liberty,' which teem to diftinguifh the race of
mountaineers. There is (ill to be remarked, in
thole countries which for Med fcveral different
principalities, the happy influence of the enlighten-
ed fyftem adopted by the Counts Palatine of the
Rhine, and the Margraves of Baden.
One is furprifed to find the mountaineer of
the dreary Hundkuck more comfortable and more
civilized than the peafant of the fertile borders of
the Rhine, or the Mofelle, where an Ecclefiallical
Government, the yoke of all moral and phyfical
fervitude, oppreffed the inhabitants.
Interialting obfervations and fuccefGve ameliora-
tions will be the fruit of this journey ; but a parti-
cular advantage, worthy of being recorded in the
annals of the Government, is this :—Though the
Secretary General publicly invited all who had
any complaints to make to addrefs thernfelves di-
redly to the Prefet% yet no accufation relative to
any abufe of power, vexatious or arbitrary alts,
has been prefented—a certain proof that we live
under protefting laws, a juft government, and a
vigilant adminittration.
The ceremony of receiving the promife of fide-
lity to the Republic took place in the churches,
or in the public houfes of the principal towns in
the country, with all the folcmnity that circum-
fiances, local means, and the atliftance of the mili-
tary authorities, would afford. The FunEtionaries
of every Mayoralty advanced feparatcly to hear
the promife read, and individualiy confirm it.—
Crowds of citizens filled and furrounded the
temples ; falutes of artillery, and exclamations of
4. Long live the Republic I" terminated the fo-
lenlnity.
The Prefeel had every reafon to be fitisfied with
the zeal of tin Mayors, and the good conduel and
fpirit of the people. They (hewed themfelves
poled henct forth to attach themfelves lincerely to
their new costrpTy. Notwithflanding the misfor-
tunes of a UN war, and the poverty of feveral
cantons, allpunfivally acquitted themf•h•cs idthe
public chart s, and, by their oLdience to olpref-
I,ve laws, they have (hewn thcmfelves well worthy
of partaking all the benefits which our Conflitu-
tinn, and the cares of a liberal Government, pro-
mire a peop!: relic:A to freedom.

The fpot appropriated for dancing was in the
Gardens, under a fhade madc with naval and mi-

of -a Little Vauxhall, which it was ftyled by the

DUEL.—On Monday laft Sir SAMUEL HANNAY
and Capt. Mukaay, nephew of Lord CATHCART,
with their feconds, and Mr. HosuNcs, the Sur-
geon, who accompanied them, landed at Lowef-
toffe from Hamburgh, where they had been to
terminate an affair of honour. We underfland
it was the intention of the parties to have fought
here ; but, intimation having been given to the
Magiftrates, Capt.
_ M. was bound over to keep the
peace in his Majeßy's dominions, Sir Samos'.
having eluded the watchful prefervers of the peace.
Both Gentlemen, it is laid, acted with much cool.
nets and courage : after a brace of piflols had been
exchanged, the fccnnds, to prevent more ferious
confequences, interfered. Their friends were much
concerned for the event, as they had always lived
in the firiaefl terms of friendfhip. The cattle of
the difference, we believe, was a trifling difpute
between Sir SAMUEL and Captain M. the latter of
whom gave come difpleafure to the former in a
public room, which they afterwards felt difpofed
to terminate amicably ; but fome officers prefent
conceiving it not exactly confillent with. military
regulation to be reconciled without fighting, the
dirpute in a fhort time became more ferious, and
finally pi cAluced circumftances that could not be
fettled in any other mode than that which they
adopted. Mr. HOLLINGS, during the paltage, re-
ceived a fall by die vend's rolling, which ?ut out
his collar bone.
