HAGUE, SEPT. 25.—Lilt? Tuefday Citizen LAU- I
RISTON, Adjutant to the FIRST CONSUL, arrived
here unexpettedly from Ratifbon, and had fome
conferences with.OUT Mini(ler for Foreign Affairs
andlour State Diretiory; immediately after which
he proceeded on his journey to Paris. He delivered
to the Direaory, in a formal -audience, a letter
from the FIRST CONSIPL, 'Which is fuppofed to.
relate to our indemnifications.
Snme hundreds of the emigrants, who were in
Bri 6fh pay, and have returned, have been arrefted,
beczufe they had taken the Oath of Fidelity after
the Revolution.in 1795, and confequently were
excluded tom the amnelly. Oa the application,
however, of the Englifh envoy, Mr. LISTON, the
greater part of them have only been punifhed by
being ordered again to leave the country.
We are affured that the French troops will only
continue (even weeks longer in the pay of our Re-
public.
SEPT. 29.—The vigilance of our government is
again called forth, and the attention of the public
awakened, after having flept fo long, from a de-
privation of all political difcuffion. lotwithfiand-
ing the recent fevere meafnres of the Executive
Board, it appears that there are flill men daring
enough to write, to print, and to publifh, a libel
• on the Government; and which is of fo ferious a
nature, or at leall judged to be fo, that a reward
has been offered for the difcovery of the offender
or offenders, to a much greater amount than on
any preceding occafion in the annals of our
country. It is no Ids than moo gold riders, every
rider being fourteen gilders; thus far over a thou
find guineas.
The following are the official articles :
46 The Government of State of the Batavian
Republic having learnt that the article which
follows has lately'been diffeminated:
" BULLETIN FOR THE lATAVIAN ARMY/ OF
SEPT. 17, 1802.
- -

46 By a refolution of the Government of State,
of the 6th inftant, the regulation on the appoint-
ment of officers of Aug. 22d laft, has fo far been
altered; that the vacancies of generals for the
army will alfo be filled up. The famous regula-
tion for the garrifons of Auguft t 3th laft, is pro-
vifionally rendered of no &ea. Lieutenant
Generals DA tripsis•and DUMONCEAU had yeller.
day an interview at Loo, with SCHIMMELPEN-
n NCR, the ambaffador, and parted highly fatisfied
with each other:, they have agreed on a new ren-
dezvous in the Hague for a fortnight. The
generals cannot enough extol the fincere and true
patriotic fentiments, alfo with refpeft to the army
of that judly admired Statefman. The army may,
on very good grounds, be affured that the time
will come when the valiant foldier (hall be treated
with refpea, andnowrong be offered to him ; and
when all citizens, who think aright, of whatever
opinion they may have been, will be enabled to
rejoice at the form and compofition of their go-
vernment. The army (hall have contributed very
much to this falutary work, and for it merits the
bleffings of the nation. They need onlq to per-
revere in manifelting their fentiments; and to
continue fupporting thole who are occupied in
promoting their interefts and thole of the nation."
And as it is of the hi heft importance th;;t the
author or publifhers of this paper be &Covered,
the Government of State has refolved to offer, and

it hereby offers, a reward of moo gold riders to
be paid to him who [hall know, to point out or
name the author,or the wilful publifhers of the piece
before mentioned, in fuch manner that they may
be conviBed of the fait; and the informer's name
if required, than be kept fecret.
(Signed) G. J. PYMAN, Prefident."
ROTTERDAM, OCT. 1.--WeR India produce is
exaaly in the fame fituation here, as it has been
of late. We have reafon to think, that the French
government will shortly lain the heavy duties on
the importation of Colonial articles; a meafure
which would lend to increafe the demand.
Grains, and other articles, are alfo without
variation. Gin only has advanced aAI fence our
lift.

will leave Baden this week for Luxemburg ; and
towards the end of this month, they will fet off
for Prefburg. But the objet of this journey is
not known: Tome fay it is to batten the delibera-
tions of the Diet ; and others, to put a flop to them.
The review of our garritbu has commenced ;
from which it app,ars, that there will be no en-
campment this year in our environs, but on the
other hand, it is reported, that a camp of 50,000
men will be formed near Film, in Bohemia.

His Excellency Prince CHARLES of Schwarzem-
berg has not accepted of the Embaffy to Pe-
terfburzb, he being obliged to ufe the waters of
Baden every year, in confequence of a wound
which he received in his foot fume time fince. At
any rate, this is the only reafon which has been
adduced —Count VON ELZ is mentioned as likely
to have the poll conferred on him.

PRIVATE LETTER.—PARIS, SEPT. 30.

[From the Carrier de Lcidree of laft night.]
48 What paired on the prefentation of Mr. Fox to
the FiriL Cnnful has not been faithfully reported
by the Engin Journals. I was prefent ; and, as
on there occafions, the features and afpeet of the
Sitting, if I may be allowed fuch an exprellion,
afford what is molt interelting to obferve and exa-
mine, I shall endeavour to give you a faint idea
of it.

" The Conful advanced towards Mr For, and
addreired him with that degree of embarraffment
which may naturally be afcribed to dillraftion of a
perfon who is meditating on the fpeech which he,
has prepared for the occafion. He repeated to
Mr. Fox the fentences that have appeared in the
Englith papers refpefting the two nations of the
Eaff and the Yitell, and that in a tone and manner
vihich evidently proved that he had got the fpeech
by heart. When the Conful concluded his fpeech,
he again bowed to Mr. Fox, and withdrew, with-
out
waiting for any reply. Mr. Fox was retiring
from the audience chamber, when M. DuROC came
up and invited him, in the name of the Coati], to
dine at the palace. After dinner the Conful en-
tered into converfation with Mr. Fox refpthing the
Englith papers and the Liberty of the Prefs. Mr.
Fox obferved, that no perfon more than himfelf
had been the objeft of attacks by the periodical
writers and that henever felt himfelf hurt by them "

The fame Paper contains, under the-head of
Berne, and under date of the zed of September,
a copy of two State Papers which have been circu-
lated throughout the Cantons.
The firft of thefe pieces is a letter from the depu-
ties of the five democratic Cantons of Uri, Schwytz,
Underwalde, Glaris and Appenzel, to General
ANDIIMATT, the Commander in Chief of the Hel-
vetic troops. It is dated Schwytz, Sept. tB, and
is figned by M. ALOYS RIDING, who was the Pre-
fident of the Deputies. 44 The total diffolution
of the Central Government of Berne (lays be) au-
thorifes us, as well as every patriotic inhabitant of
Switzerland, no longer to recognife a Govern-
ment, fpringing originally from faetion, and formed
by the influence of a few individuals. All your
obligations to obedience have ceafed, 'and as you,
as well as your troops, no longer belong to any
legal Government, whatever oppofition you make
againft the troops of the Democratic States, what-
ever hoftilities you are guilty of againft the inha
bitants, villages, cities or diaries of Switzerland,
will be confidered as ads of perfonal hoftility, and
you and your officers (hall be perfonally refponlible
for the confequences, fince we cannot longer con-
fider you as troopi paid by a Government legally
formed and recognifed.
" On the other hand, it is in your power, and
in the power of your officers and foldiers, quietly
to return to your homes, and if you there conduct
yourfelves as orderly and peaceable citizens, a
preference will he given to you at the period when
a new legal central Government than be formed
by order of the repetitive Cantons. You are
charged to communicate our tleafure to your of-
ficers. and foldiers, and to anfwer within three
hours at fartheft after receiving our letter, by a
declaration whether, as Swifs attached to their
country, you with to put an end to civil war, or
whether you are defirous of being confidered as
wandering banditti who menace the repofe, the
liberty, and the fafety of their fellow citizens ?"
The conclufion of thefe letters affumes the form
of a proclamation of the five democratical Cantons
to the inhabitants of the other Cantons of Switzer-
land. It begins in thefe words
44. The Swifs name is for ever degraded by the
malt deceftable of all crimes with which the foi-
Afaat Helvetic Government doted its career (the
' bombarding of the town of Zurich). We are
fully refolved to refcue our country and to break
the chains which tyrants were preparing to impofe
upon it. We enter into your country and cantons,
not as enemies, but as friends, animated by a
laudable anxiety to eftablifh an equal participation
of rights and of liberty between the towns and the
villages and to fecond you by every finew of our
flrength, in order to fecure to you a re-union be-
tween the towns and villages by means of a Cen-
tral Government, emanating from the Cantons.
To that effect we call upon you to fend two de
lelates to Schwyz before the 24th September, one
of them repreenting the towns, the other the
villages. You will at the fame time alio take care
to eftablifh in your Canton an adequate armed
force in the following proportion : for Zurich
2000 men ; for Berne sOOO ; for Lucerne 1200 ;
for Fribarg 800 ; for Soleure moo; for Schaff-
haufen zoo; for Bafle 40o; for the Grain's 2000;
for Bellinzona 600 ; for Lugano, 600 ; for Tur-
govta zoo; for St. Gall 1200; for Baden 4.00 ;
and for the democratic Cantons 6000 men."

This addrefs bears date Schwytz, Sept. t 3, and

is fired by the Preadent, RJDJNG.
