A Privy Council was held at Windfor on Sa-
turday, at which a Proclamation was ailed, and
publithed in the Gazette of that evening, fummon-
ing Parliament to meet on the t 6th of November,
for the &hatch of &Atli, a phrafe which indicates '
that it will then aaually affemble.
Two Dutch Mails, a Hamburgh, and a French
Mail have arrived. The Paris Papers come down
to the t7th inft.
The principal topic in all the foreign journals
is the plan of indemnities, and the temporary im-
pediments thrown in the way of its execution, by
the natural with entertained by Come of the Powers
that new modifications, more tithed to their indi-
vidual interefts, thould be introduced.
It is probable, alto, that the expected interview
between the KING of PILUSSIA and the Ftasr Cos-
emulated with the meafures now in con-
templation for fixing the fate of Germany. The
report of fuch an interview being about to take
place gains ground in the belt informed circles on
the Continent, and the time is Paid to be not very
diftant. According to letters from Duffeldorff, it
will take place in the courfe or towards the end
of the month of Claober, a period at which his
PrutUan Majefly will vifit his States in Weftphalia
and Franconia. Indeed Tome of the parties, as
might be expected, with to fee Inch an interview
take place. " It is certain," Pays a letter from
Stutgard, “ that, in the prefent circumilances, an
interview between the Kum of Paussi* and the
Fiery Couto& of the French Republic, might be
attended with the happiett•refult."
We learn from Ratilbon, that the Sub-delegate
of Bohemia, M. Da SCIIRAUT, has, demanded in
Imam of the Coen of Vienna, and

_~

of the difpodtions of the fifth article of the treaty 1
of Luneville, that the GRAND DUKI of TUSCANY
1141 be fully indemnified for the loffes he has fuf.
tained in Italy. It is well known that the indem•
pity infured to that Prince, by the convention of
Junes, forms at moR but a third of what he has loft.
The ESIPIKOR demands in name of the GRAND
Dux; his brother, all the Ecclefiaftical States, and
all the Imperial cities of the circle of Suabia, betides
the Bifhoprics already aligned to him. He invites
the Members of the Deputation, and the Minifters
of France and Ruffia, to take into confederation
this important objed.

There demands of the Court of Vienna form a
new incident, which cannot fail to retard the pro-
grefs of affairs. On the other hand it is.obferved,
that the Members of the Deputation have not
hitherto ;hewn much unanimity in their labours :
thofe of Wurtemberg, Brandenberg, Bavaria, and
Hai only, have voted for accepting the new plan
of the indemnities in Coto. Saxony, Bohemia, the
Teutonic Order, and Mentz, have been fatisfied
with voting thanks to the Powers who have come
forward as mediators in the affairs of Europe.—
Saxony has referved to itfelf the right of giving
its vote at a future period ; and Bohemia declares
it will take into deliberate and ferious confidera-
tion the amicable propofals of France and Ruffia.
The Teutonic Order has requeßed not to be for-
gotten ; and confiders the plan as a project proper
for being confulted. Mentz requires that the
protocol fhould be opened.

Count de GOER z has jilt tranfmitted to the de-
putation of the Empire, in name of the Pruffian
Court, a very important declaration, the objet of
which is to refute that publithed by the Court of
Vienna on the occupation of Palm. It is laid in
this new declaration, that the Court of Pruffia
was fully authorised to itze on its indemnities,
both by the example of the Emperor himfelf; who
immediately took poffeffion of the indemnities af-
figned to him by the Treaty of Campo Formio
and Luneville, and by the convention made with
France on the sad of May, by which it was ftipu
lated, that Prat Ihould take immediate poffeflion
of its indemnities ; that the occupation of Paffau
by the Auftrians, was diametrically oppofite to
the Reps taken by the two mediating powers, and
increafed the critical and uncertain Rate in which
Germany then was ; that his Prullian Majefty con-
fequently espeas that the Emperor will-renounce
his enterprise, and not impede any farther, by
fuch °Made:, the conftitutional progrefs of affairs
in regard to the indemnities of the Germanic Em-
pire.

While the Diet of Radii:on is occupied with the
difcuffion of the fyftem of Indemnities, the differ-
ent Powers, principally interefted, continue to iffue
addreffes, vindicating the moderation of their
views, and the propritty of the Reps they have
adopted, in occupying particular diftriets by u por-
tion of their refpative forces. The troops of the
Elector of Bavaria have taken poffeffion of a con-
fiderable portion of territory, and feveral towns in
Germany. On the sd inf. a body of Bavarian
troops, under the command of General GAzA, en-
tered and occupied the Imperial City of Ulm.—
Dillingen, and the Bithoprick of Eichengen, had
been already taken poffeffion of on the 3oth of
Angora. General Gaza has eftablithed his head
quarters at Ulm. Previous to his entry, that city
fent a Deputation to him.

On the 4th int. the Electoral troops took pof-
fefflon of Wurtzburgh ; and on the following day
they were to enter the city of Bamberg. They
alto occupied Schweinfurt, Kitzingen, and feveral
other places. The Prince Bilhop of Wurrzauacl
had retired to Werneck, where he now waits for
a change of affairs. The Bavarian: have already
taken poireffion of about ten Imperial cities in
Suabia.

The free Imperial city of Friedberg was on the
3d init. taken polfeffion of by a battalion of 300
grenadiers belonging to He& Darmftadt.
The ceremony of deliberation will fpecdily clofe,
and the fpoil will greedily be feized by thofe to
whom France, Ruffia, and Pruffia, after fatisfying
their own cupidity, have chofen to affign it.

The battalion of French troops which lay, in
garrifon at the Hague, has departed from that
place for France.

Mr. Li :von, the Englifh Minifier, is arrived at
the Hague, and Citizen SCHIMILLPENIIHICK the
Ambafrador to this country, has departed from the
Hague on his route to London.

PSTIRSSURGHt AUGUST Wm.-Among other
perfons intending to leave this City. the Court
Gazette mentions to-day, for the firft time, the
Englith Amballidor, Lord Sr. HeLam's, who re-
turns to England, with his Secretary, Mr. THOMAS
BIDWELL, and five fervants.
HANSURGHt Samosas& to.—From France we
have of courfe very little that does not reach you
much fooner by the dire& conveyance : moft of
the Letters we receive juftify the condemn, that
things are by no means on a firm footing in that
country. There appears to be a brooding difcon-
tent, which is hindered from declaring itfelf, not
If° much by Catisfaitiou with the patent, as by

dread of the future. The imports are reprefentml
as enormous. A Frenchman bere, a friend oi
mine, (hewed me, a few days fince, a letter firm
his father, in which he acquaints him, that Nis
going to abandon his eftate to the Gammen.,
'becaufe it does not produce futieient to defray tit
charges of cultivation and the taxes.

HAGUE, SEPT. g.--Citizen HULTMAN, sect.

Mr. SHERIDAN fat in his own box during the whole

PARISIAN Fssmoms.—Turbans are very gene-
rally worn, but of no remarkably elegant peculia-
sitrof figure. The molt obfervable particular in
their Appearance is, that they are thrawi back-
ward almoli as far as the veils. Hats are very
much worn, and are in general very broad in the
brim or Item, and cut fquare where they approach
the neck. Sometimes a tuft of ribbons appears
between the rife of- the hat and the brow. The
ribbons are rote-red or white. Trimmings of lace
are fill in vogue. Black ftraw hati have ceafed
to Ise worn by Ladies of the firft fafhion. Some
of the robes rife fo high on the neck, as to leave
no neceffity for the tile of a neck handkerchief.—
The waift is fill worn very low in front. Role-
coloured tunics have been lately alrociated with
black puckered bands at the &eves, and round the
middle. Shells are, in • treference to cornelians,
now the favourite toys. Thefe (hells are from
Italy, and are curioufly engravers. They are richly
inountioi 6yths Paritian jewellers. On ~ccoust of
the wide sleeves, bracelets arc very common.
FURTHILIt PART CULARS OP' THS FIRS AT TACIT.
ast.t..4—On Thinfllay evening, about half pall ten
o'clock, a fire broke out in the Rabies of --
Woodford, Efq. at Vauxhall ;—it was =dinned,
we underftand, by a candle falling among fame
firaw. Several engines belonging to Gentlemen in
the neighbourhood, and tome from London, very
form arrived at the fpot, but unfortunately there
was a fcarcity of water. The (tables, the fervants'
apartments over them, and the kitchen, which
uas detached from the hotife, were completely
burnt down. The flames were fo rapid, that tome
of the fervants, who were in bed, efcapetl with the
greatell difficulty, but this cloaths, and all the
furniture was dal-eyed. The honks were got out,
with the exception of one, a valuable fiddle boric,
which was burnt. Mr. Woodford had been for
ICUs colleding, at a confiderable expence, a great
number of curious foreign birds, which where
kept in a green houfe adjoining to the houfe, and
Ltween it and the [tables. The fereams of the
poor birds, occafioned by the heat of the fire, was
redly dillreffing; and though every means were
taken to enable them to crcape by breaking the
glafs of the green houfe, yet few were able to get
