Faanessorr,Auc. 7.—APruffian Courier, who
carries an official account of the occupying of the
Pruffian indemnities by the Pruffian troops, has
palled through Bruffets, on his way to Paris.
On the 3d init. Eichsfeld was taken poffeffion
of by the Pruffian troops.

On the 3 tft of July, the military at Erfurt took
the oath of fidelity to the new Eleetor of Mentz.

Private letters from Paris (peak of modifica-
tions
in the plan of indemnities, in favour of Auf-
tria, which are now negotiating ; among which

chofen Come time fine Eleaor and Archhiihop of
Munger.

PADERBOILII. Auc. 5.—On the 3d init. Major-
General L'Erromtook poffeirion of our territory,
with five fqnadrons of hnirars of Blucher, two
battalions of Bila, the Grenadiers of Sobbe, acid
force Chaffeurs and Artillery men. Four hundred
and eighty Grenadiers remain here in garrifon,
the reft of the troops are diftributed in the coun-
try. The fame evening the General gave a ball
and fupper.

Wsszt., Ave. 7.—Ottr Gazette contains the
following article :
" Our troops, and the Officers and Commiffa-
ries were received at Werden by the Abbot in the
molt friendly manner. At Ketwich, when the
Pruffian Eagle was about to be affixed up, the in-
habitants took it and hung it up on a triumphal
arch, which they hid ereaed for the reception of
our countrymen. At-Ellin, the troops were nei-
ther welcomed, nor met at their entrance, the in-
habitants, after the example of the Magiftrates, re-
maining in their honfes with their windows (but.
The military of Munfter will be incorporated with
the Pruffian."

RATISION, Auo. 6.—The Bavarian Deputy,
Baron RICH SENO, received in the night of the sd
init. a courier from the Bavarian Envoy at St. Pe-
teriburgh, to M. Posca, who arrived by the way
of Berlin, and brought the General Plan of indem-
nities concerted at Paris, and ratified by his Im-
perial RUSSIAN MAJESTY. Two funilar copies of
this plan will be laid before the Empire on the
part of France and Raffia, by Citizen MATTHIEU
and Baron ButiLza. In this plan the future (late
of all the Empire, both with refped to the large
and fmall States, is circumnantially regulated.—
Wurtemberg, Baden, and HeH•e Calfel, are pro-
pored for the Electoral Dignity. The LM►EROI
of RUSSIA had likewife recommended Mecklen•
burg ; and the French and Bavarian Miniflers
have promifed the co•operation of their Courts to
that effect. •In the College of Princes, eight new
voices are to be added, among whiich are Naffau,
Ufingen, Naffau Weilburg, Salm, Kyrburg, and
Leintngen. Ofnaburg falls to Hanover, but un-
der conditions that the latter !ball refign its claims
to Hildeffieim and Corvey, and its eventual pof-
feffion of Sayn Altenkirchen to Naffau Ufingen.—
The toll at Elsfleth is to be aboliffied ; but incom-
penfation, the Duke of Holftein Oldenburg re.
ceives the Bifhopric of Lubec as an. Hereditary
Principality, a part of Munfter, and the Hano-
verian Diftrid of Wildeihaufen. The Eledor of
Mentz remains the only Ecclefiaffical Elector, and
receives fuck indemnities for his loffes, that his re-
venue, in the whole, will amount to a million.—
Eight cities, viz. Lubeck, Bremen, Hamburgh,
Frankfort, Augtburg, Nuremberg, Wetzlaar,
and Radibon, are to be Imperial Cities, and the
two laft remain as before, the one the feat of the
Chamber of the Empire, and the other of the
Diet. The Imperial Cities, in all future wars of
the Empire, are to be permitted to obferve a per-
fed neutrality.

Yefterday we received Paris Journals to the 18th,
and this morning thole of the 19th. A Dutch and
a Hamburgh Mail have alto arrived.—While the
French Government is to much embarralTed about
the queftion of a Commercial Treaty, it is found
that notwithfianding prohibitions and difficulties,
or rather it is found that in proportion to thefe ob-
Racks of regulation, Britifh goods, &c. find their
way to France. A decree of the Confuls eftabliffies
depots for all goods, prohibited and non-prohibit-
ed, at Mentz and Cologne. The ground alledged
for this meafure is to fecure the facilities of tranfit,
though no mitigation takes place of the laws again ft
the introduaion of prohibited articles into France.
The cuftorn•houfe will be obliged through their de-
pots to connive at the traffic.
It is clear, indeed, that when goods are allowed
to be brought publicly to be put in depot at Mentz
and Cologne, means will be deviled of giving
vent to them along the banks of the Rhine, and
thus they would be fmuggled into France ; while
the prefent taße for many Englith commodities
continues in France, they will be fmuggled. Thole
people in France who are engaged in the fmug-
gling trade will naturally be as clamorous as the
alarmift manufaiturers againfl a treaty that would
efiablills a free and recognifed trade. The bell
policy of the French Govertunsut would bs there.

fmuggling a lofing attempt. No other plan can
proted domeftic manufaCtures better than this.
The intelligence from Germany relates chiefly
to the plans of indemnities, and of new modelling
the Germanic Body, which are in agitation.—
Pruffia has taken poffellion of feveral parts of its
(hare, particularly the dominions of the late Elec-
torate of Cologne and Munfter. Report Rates that
a number of new Eleftors are to be created. In
Lei, whatever idle plans may be attempted a la
Francois to give a new Conftitution to the Germanic
Empire, the thing will be found to be impoffible.
A mean, faCtious, undignified alrembly of the va•
rions partizans of Auftria, Pruffia and France, may
be formed and entitled the College of Eleitors, but
it will only be a fccne of paltry intrigue, will be
dellitute of real authority, and its deciftons, while
defpifed by the lofing party, would give little real
weight to that in whofe favour they were pro-
nounced. In fat, fuel' is the rage for encroachment,
and fuch the dangerous principle on which the
inckninities now claimed by the great States pro-
ceeds, that all the fmaller States will gradually be
abforbed. Formerly their exillence and their rights
were refpefted from habit, if not from a (cafe of
juftice ; but the fpoliation being now recognifed
in practice, prefents too much convenience to the
great powers ever to be abandoned, or even limit-
ed in its ufe. Might has fo completely overcome
right, that no other rule will be confulted ; and
from time to time the quarrels of Princes will be
appeafed, or their common cupidity gratified, by
confifcating the dominions of their weaker neigh.

firft facrificed, hat the reft will find in their turn
that they have no fatisfa/tory arguments to oppofe
to ambition, and to the lnfl rttion of Kings and
Confuls.
