FROM THE FRENCH AND DUTCH PAPERS.

Bo I. ou •, JUNE 24.—Ye ft erday, at two o'clock,
the Gonfalonnier, and a deputation from the Repub.
lie of Lucca were introduced to an audience with the
Emreror and King, who received them furrounded
by his Minifters and Grand Officers. M. BELLECO•
MIN I, the Gonfalonnier, then addreffed him in al .ng
fpcech, in which, aftcr enumerating the imperfeftions
of the prelent Government, he raid,
" A Prince allied to your Majelty can alone infure to our coun-
try the neceffary advantages. It is there we find the power which
furrounds, and mutt protedt us. It Is there we find the guarantee
of principles, which, even in the midtt of political agitations, have
always guided our fathers, which are needfary to our potation, and
for the prcfervati n of which, we have, wills unanimous confine,
refolved to take advantage of the moment when your Imperial Ma-
jelly was near our countries, to pray you to fix our lot."
The Gonfalonnier then read the ConftitutionalAel‘,
containing the Refolutions of the Gonfalonniers and
sElders of the Republic of Lucca, dated the 4th and
lath of June; and the Ad of the 14th of the fame
month, by which the Grand Council confirms there
deliberations. The principal articles vf which pro-
pole, that the Emperor of the French, and King of
Italy, null he requelled to give to the elate of Lucca
a new political conftitntion, and to confide the Go-
vernment thereof to a Prince of his family ; that his
Serene Highnefs the Prince of Piombino, Pafchal
Ilacciocbi, as well by his own prerogatives, as the
eminent virtues of her Imperial Ilighners the Pain-
cefs Elifa, his auguft (polite, by whom he has the
honour to belong to the Imperial and Royal Family
of France, merits the refpeet, confidence, and molt
fincere alreCtion of the Luccefe people ; the Deputa-
tion be charged to teftify to his Majeßy, the extreme
joy which the people of Lucca Ibould feel, if this
choice fhould fall upon the perfon of his Highnefs
the Pi ince of Piombino, Pafchal Bacciochi, and if the
Supreme Dignity, fhould be hereditary as well in fa-
vour of her Imperial Highnefs Princely Ma, as of
their deicendants, male and female, in fuch older of
fueceftion as his Imperial and Royal Highnefs may
judge proper to eliablifb.
The fo!lowing is an extra& from his MAJESTY'S
Anfwer

" Monfieur le Confalunnier, Mime ors the Deputies of the Fl-
akes, and the people of Lucca, my Minifter to your Rcrut tic has
apprifed me of the step which yon have taken. The republic of
Lucca, without ftrength, and without an army, has r-"nd its fe-
mirky during the paged ages, iii the general law of the Empire,
upon which it depended. I now confider, as a charge attached to
my crown, the obligation of conciliating the different parties which
may idivide the interior of your country. the republic of Flo-
rence, of l'ifa, of Sienna, of Bologna, and all the other little re-
publics which divided :taly in the 14th Century, have felt the lame
loconveniat cks They have all been agitated by the popular lac-
don, and by that of the Nobles. It is only from the conciliation
of theft different interefts, that tranquility and good order can
wile. The Conitirution which you have had for there three years
is feeble. Idu not diffanble, that it is not competent to attain its
object."
BOLOGNA, JON[ 25.—When the Emperor NAPO-
LEON made his entry into t:iis city, the Prefident of
the Municipality, after prefenting him with the keys,
folicited leave for the inhabitants to draw him in his
carriage, to which his Majetly replied, it was a thing
be would not permit, having no need of that proof
of his people's attachment, nor any doubt of their
affalion. His Majelly, notwithaanding, allowed the
people to allemble around him and ling an hymn,
which the Commune had got con:poled—he alto ac •
cepted a copy of it, printed upon filk, an which was
pref.nted, according to cuaom, in a vale.
Basscia, jt.N B 27.—An Imperial and Royal De •
tree, dated Bologna, May 24, places at the difpofal
of Government 6000 confcripts, of the confcription
of the prefent year ; 3000 will fei m part of the ac-
tive army, and the remainder will be for a refcrvc,
and to keep up the army to the war eflablilhment in
cafe ciicumaances fhould require it.
After the tft January, IBc6, a like number of men
will be placed at the ilifporal of Government for the
con fcript ion of that year. Sayitates will not be accepted,
unlels when the Vacs of the Royal Guard are corn.

FRANCKFOIT, JULY i4.—The lan letters from Vi•
enna (late, that the French Ambailador had a long
audience of the Roman Emperor on the zBth of June.
It is alio °braved, that a very aeiive col efporsdence
is on foot between the Courts of St. Peter iborgh, Vi-
enna, and Berlin, which is hippofed to relate to the
plans of peace. Thus much is certain, that the letters
fr.,m the North are pacific, and perfiß in aferibing
fimilar fentiments to the Courts of Rufila and Pruffia.
The Prullian Cabinet was very aCiive et Alexanderf-
bad, and Baron Novosivrzorr having fo fpeedily
followed to Berlin General VAN ZASTROW, whocame
back from St. Peterfburgh, ;his circumßanceappears
to have haßened the return of the Pruflian Court to
Berlin. At Vienna the Court continued very aftive
negotiations with the Ruffian Envoy • Baron Wipr-
simcaorre. A courier was alfo fent• from Vienna to
Milan, about the end of June, with important dif-
patches.

arrisw, Jutr 17.—0 n the 13,h and t4th the Mei- I
Iseriii of the French was to hunt in the woods at St.
Cloud;• and then proceed to Paris. The Minifler of
Marine went to Fcntainbleatt on Friday to confer
with the Emperor. The War Mittriter of France has
not gone to Holland, butio Boulogne, to infpeet the
firft divilion of the invading troops.
AMSTERDAM JULY ig.—According to *deices
from North Holland, Vice. Admiral de Wastes, ap-
pointed Commander in• Chief of the Naval Force in
the Text', has hoifled his flag on board the Heraelle.
SEMLIN, JUNE 29.—The public is millaken with
regard to the number of troops fent by the Grand
Seignior againfl the Servians, under the command of
feveral Pachas. It is not, as was at Irlt announced,
only 115,000, but amounts to 50,000. It may juftly
be concluded, that blood will fic,w in torrents in Ser.'
via, finer the Chriflians of that province per-lilt in the
refolution of burying themfelves beneath the ruins of
their towns and habitations rather than fubmit to
their former oppreirors. Their army is therefore in
motion, and a detachment has proceeded to the banks
of the Drina to wait fur &Lir Pacha, and to give
him battle.

No accounts have yet been received of Lord Nat..
sow, or the combined fleet.

An American !hip the Oaavia, Cot Alms, arrived
ye Rerday at Cowes, Ifle of Wight, in 28 days, from
Charlettown, South Carolina. At that Time there
were no accounts of Lord Ni L sow, or the Combined
Fleet's arriving on the coati ofAmerica; of coui ft they
were not hound thither.—No accounts from Hondu.
ras had been received at Charlet:town.

A Spanifh corvette called the Hydra, of 3s guns

and 170 men, was captured on thersth infiant, near
the Weftern liles, by the Mrs* or vs, of 36 guns,
Captain Fey z
A fine lugger called it Bellifaire, and a (loop, both
with brandy, from Bourdeauz, have been captured off
the Coaft of France, by the ATALANTS, of 16 guns,
Capt. MASEFIkID. Both theft prizes have artive4
at Plymouth.

It is reported that the troops which went ont with
General Cita to, have been landed at Malta. General
CKAIG, who is veiled with a difcietionary command
in the Mediterranean, remained behind at Gibraltar,
but meant to follow the troops in a few days.

We have received Paris Journals to the 16tht ;nd
Dutch to the rsoh inft. inclufire. They announce
that Admiral Da WINTER has hoilled his flag on
board the Herftelle, in the Tercel ; that Bouararra
arrived at Fontainbleau on the tub ; that M. Luc-
CHISINI has reached Paris; that M. HAUTIRIVIi has
received the reward of all his civic labours in the
Monitemr, by being appointed a Counfellor of State ;
and that the Americans have made a Convention
with the Bay of TairoLt.

The POPE'S Allocution, on account of his journey
to France, read in the Secret Conclave upon his re-
turn to Rome, occupies a part of thefe papers. We
fhdll lay a copy of this curiJsy before our readers to-
mot row.

Thefe papers likewife contain an extra& of a letter
from Admiral VILLENEuvr, dated Martinique, May
21, four days later than the dicpatches we gave yef-
terday, but it prefents nothing of importance. Doubt-
leci the French Government have accounts from that
Admiral down to the time of the LYNX'S departure
on the 28th; but they have not thought fit to publith
them !

The report by the Officer who brought the air-
patches comes down to the zBth. He lays, exprefsiy,
that the crews were in the bell health. He lays no:
thing of the health of the troops, indeed ; but there
is no appearance either inthe d;f I .....patc.tes of %TILL E• ,
NEVER, or in the Lieutenant's communication, that
the object of the expedition was abandoned. General
LAURISTON h 441 gone to Goadaloupe to endeavour
to procure tranfports, and provilions were laid to be
in abundance. If they have returned to Europe, it
is the terror of Lord Nsison's name to which we are
indebted for that fortunate circumflance.
There kerns no doubt whatever that Jamaica was
the objeft of the Combined Fleets. The collation of
tranfports mull have been with a view to facilitate
the debarkation. AU thefe mighty preparations are
difconcerted by the appearance of Lord Nassow.
By the time of his Lordfhip'iarrival, they mull have
heard of Admiral COCHRANE'S return from Jamaica,
and the difpofition of the remainder of our naval
force in the Weft Indies. They Bate their belief that
Admiral CocHaarte had returned to Europe with
his Beet.' They i sull have concluded, tlerefore, on
finding how matters really (nod, that to attempt.any
thing while Lord Nvi.snir continued in the Weft Id-
dies was impoffible; and that to have been blockaded
in Martinique would have been theaeftruelion of the
whole fleet and eipcdition. Under theft imptcffions
they refolved to !Iy. '
