The FIRST Con s ux of the French Republic, and
his Majefty the En P Elloll of RUSSIA, after having
propofed to regulate in this manner the indemnities
exigible from the hereditary Princes,have found that
it is poffible and proper to retain in the firft college
of the empire an Eccletiaftical Elator. They conic-
quently propofe : That the Arch Chancery of the
empire fhall be transferred to the feat of Ratifbnn,
with the Abbeys of Saint Emeran, Ober Munfler,
arid Nieder Manlier, referving of its ancient pof-
feftions, the grand bailiwick of Afchaffenbourg,
on the sight of the Mayne, and that there (hall
be united betides, a fufficient number of mediate
abbeys, to produce with the above lands an annual
revenue of a million of florins.

And, as the belt means of confolidating the Ger.
manic Body, is to introduce into the Firft College
the Princes of the Empire who have the greaten
influence, it is propofed that the Eleltoral title
Ihall be granted to the Margrave of Baden, the
Duke oiWurtemberg, and theLandgrave of Helfe
CaffeL

Moreover As the KING of ENGLAND, in his qua-
lity of Eleftor of Hanover, has made pretentious
to Hildetheim, Cnrvey, and Hoexter ; and as it
is of importance that he thould wave his preten-
lions, it is propoied that the Bithopriek of Ma-
burgh, which already belongs by alternation to the
Eleftoral Houle of Brunfwick, thall devolve to it
in perpetuity on the following conditions :
_ _ _

Firil, The Kiva of ENGLAND, Eleitor of
Hanover, (hall renounce all his rights and pro:ten-I
lions to Hildefheim, Corey, }qd HOe*er•
silly, He (hall renounce all the rights and pm.
pert y that he exercifes and pofefres in the towns
of Hamburgh and Bremen, and in the extent of
their territory; thirdly, he (hall cede the bail-
liwick of Wildfhaufen, to the DUICI of OLDIN.
BOURG, and his right to the eventual fucceflon of
the county of Sayn-Altenkirchni, to the Pi
NASSAU-MI*OIW.

Notwitbßanding the ceffion of Wildfhaufen to
the Duke of Oldenberg, and the fecularization
which (hall be made for his profit of the Bifhopric
and the Grand Chapter of Lubeck, the Toll of
Elsfleth (hall remain fupprefied, without being re-
eftablifhed under any pretext or denomination
whatever, and the rights and properties of the
Bithop and Chapter in the City of Lubeck &all be
re united to the domain of the Paid city.

The propofitions made by the underfigned for
the regulation of the indemnities lead him to men.
tion feveral general confiderations which he judges
to be of a nature fuch as to fix the attention of the
Diet, and upon which they cannot fail to make
proper decifions.

It appears to him, then, Frft, That the Ec-
clelialbcal property of the Grand Chapters of
their Dignitaries should be incorporated with the
domains of the Bifhops, and pars with the Bithop-
rics into the hands of the Princes to whom they
are affigned.

Secondly, That the property of the Chapters,
Abbeys, Convents, both of men and women, of
whom no ufe has been formally made in this pro-
pofition, (hall be applied to the completion of the
indemnity of the Eitates and Hereditary Members
of the Empire, fhould it be found that a fufficient
number has not been provided by this plan, and
laving the fovereignty, which will always remain
with the territorial Princes, to the endowment of
new Cathedral Churches which Mall be preferved
or eflabliffied, as well for the maintenance of the
Bifhops as of their Chapters and other expences of
wo I fhip,alimony and life penfions of the fuppreired
Clergy.'
Third:y, That the goods and revenues of hof-
pitals, edifices, univerfities, colleges, and other
pious foundations, as alto thofe of the communes
on one bank of the Rhine, thatl remain at the dif-
pofition of the refpeetive Governments.

a ..

ed to the States of the Empire for *h. pollefrots
on the left by T:k of the Rhine, (hall remain fpecially
affected by the payment of the debts rd thole
Princes, as well perfonal as accruing from their
ancient poffefllons.
Fifthly, That all tolls on the Rhine, on both
fides, be aSolithed, w:tltout refloration upon any
pretence whatever, except the Cantons.

Sixthly, That all Fiefs arising from the feudal
court!, eflablifhed on the left tide of the Rhine,and
firuated on the right fide, (hall henceforth fpring
direaly from the Emperor and Empire.

Scvcmhly, That the Princes of Watt Ufingen,
Naffau Weilbourg, Salm Salm, Salm Kirbourg,
Linapge, Aremberg, !hall he maintained or intro-
-slimed imo the College of PI inces, with their votes
derived from their indemnities, and that the votes
of immediate Counts of the Empire (hall he tranf-
ferret' in the fame manner to their new poffeffions;
and that the Ecclefiallical votes (hall be exercifed
by the Princes and Counts, who by the effect of the
Treaty of Luneville will find themfelves in poffef-
lion of chief places.
Eighthly, That the College of Cities (ball con-
tinue to confift of the free and Imperial Cities of
Lubeck, Hamburgh, Bremen, Wetzlaer, Franc-
fort, Nuremberg, Auglburgh, and Katilbon, and
that means (hall be adopted to provide that in the
future wars in which the Empire may be concern-
ed, the Paid cities (hall not be bound to take any
part, and that their neutrality be fecured by
the Empire, as far as it (hall be recognized by the
other Belligerent Powers.
Ninthly, That the fecularization of nunneries
(hall not be effected but with the content of the
Diocefan Bifhop : but that monafleries (hall be at
the difpofal of the Territorial Princes, who may
fupprefs or preferve them at their pleafure.
Such is the total of the arrangements and con.
federations which the underfigned is ordered to
prefect to the Impetial Liet, and upon which he
thinks it his duty to calf for their moll prompt and
let ious deliberation ; informing them, in the name
of his Government, that the interell of Germany,
the confolidation of the peace, and the general
tranquillity of Europe, require that every thing
relative to the adjuflment of the Germanic In•
demnities (hould be terminated in the fpace of
three months. (Signed) set. M. TALLEYIL•ND•

PRIVATE LETTER, PARIS, MONDAY, AUG. 23.
The enigma with which I clofed my let letter
is now folved, but the folution is as Ample as the
myflery was unnecetl'ary. The affair amounted
in fa& to nothing more than the lila:illation of the
Confuls and the Miniffers in the Confervative Se-
nate. The affected air of myftery, with which the
affair was accompanied, gave birth to a variety of
reports in this capital, which, I dare to fay, loft
nothing either in number or value, when transfer-
red to your fide of the water.
The ceremonial was accompanied with every
circumilance of eclat. The FIRST CON SOL was
drawn in his carriage by eight holies. and attended
by a numerous and brilliant torte. The fpedators
were n t, by one-twentkh part, lo nutherous as if
the Wind,. had beengencrally known. Bon AAAAA k
was, however, received every where with general
acclamations. •-• .
