AMSI'EI,DAM, AUGUST r.

The appearance of the En oil rem coast has
produced a variety of false and contradictory reports,
which we find reduced to their just valve, by tile fel-
lowing observations inserted in our Official Gazette
of to-day :—" Intlligence arrived here on the 30th
of last month states, that a fleet of about 130 sail of
transports, escored by some ships of war, appeared
the preceding night off Dunking, in the Isle cf• A& al-
eleven. On the 30th, at night, the enemy's fleet stood
for Veer, and sheaved an intention to attempt a land-
ing in the vicinity of Haak. There is reason to stip-
piiso that tics project has been carried into execution,
because a very heavy canuon:ide was heard the whole
even,..T,as won as the fiAlowing morning, the enemy
having oecteeieLl Schowen. No intell;,gence has of
crelrsf‘ ly„:en re i d from that point; renders
it probabl:. that Eaghsh have made food a land-
ingin the Island ot Walcheren is this, that the signals
W
of chowenS and alcheii.e. do 11:1 longer ccrresiiond.
Shou'i the enemy suppose be abi,. to maintain
hirr.self in these islands, lie in soon feel the necessity
of telinquishing that pro;' or be compelled to eva-
cuate them by the force ciii••:!i'd against him."
The King arrived yt:styrday at his palace in Am-
sterdam from Loo, which lie left ix the morning.

FRANICrORT, AUGUST 4. dr
General Fun!:., who arrived here on the night of
the 2d, has brought, besides the nesys that on the 26th
the bacec of peace were established, a very gracious
letter from the Emperor Napoleon to the King of
Saxony.

PROTEST AG4INSTTHF. EMPEROROFrNE

FIEND H.

PIUS VII. PONTIFF.

The dark designs, conceived by Lim enemies of the Apostolic
See have at length been accomplished.

After the violent and unjust spoliation of the fairest and most
considerable portion of our dominions, we behold ourselves under
unworthy pretexts, and with so touch the greater injustice, en-
tirely stript of our temporary Sovereignty, to which our spiritual
independency is intimately united. In the midst of this cruel per-
secution we are comforted by the reflection, that we encounter
such a heavy misfortune, not for any offence given to the Emperor
or to France, which has always been the object of our affectionate
paternal sulleitudz, nor for any intrigue of worthy policy, but
from an unwillirgness to betray our duties.
To ptease men and to displease GOD, is not allowed to any one
professing the Catholic Religion, and much less can it be permit-
ted to its heatl and promulgator.
As we, besides, owe it to Goo and the Church, to hand down
our rights, uninjured and untouched, we protest against this new
violent spoliation, and declare it void and null.
We reject with the firmest resolution, any allowance which
the Emperor of the French may intend to assign to us, and to the
individuals composing our College.
We should all cover ourselves with ignominy in the face of the
Church, if we suffered our subsistence to depend on the power
of him who usurps her authority.

We commit ourselves entirely to Providence and to the affec-
tion of the faithful, and we shall be contented piously to termi-
nate the bitter career of our sorrowful days.

We adore with profound humility GOD'S inscrutable decrees ;
we invoke his commisseration upon our good-subjects, who will
ever be our joy and our Crown; and after having in this hardest
of trials done what our duties required of us, we exhort them to
preserve rlways untouched the religion and the faith, and to
unite themselves to us, for the purpose of imploring with sighs
and tears, both in the closet and before the altar, the Supreme
Father of I .iglu, that he may vouchsafe to change the base designs
of our perAecutors.
