Since our lati, a mail Rom Gottenburgh and one
from Hamburgh have arrived. The moil prominent
article in the falter is the Convention which has been
filmed between the Esc reams of the FRENCH and the
Reigning Count of BEI17111111•STRIIIVUET, again(
orhich a Proteft was lately given in at Ratifbon, on
the part of his Barrer etc I.ls;aorr, as Eleaor of
Hanover.
Private accounts from Hamburgh, on the veracity
of which we can rely, mention, that one of the Mem-
bers of the Military Commit:Goo, which fentenced the
Duke d'Eaciatsm to death, was lately found murder-
ed in the wood of Boulogne. There was a label at
filed to hi. coat, flgnifying that all his colleagues in
that horrible crime thould (hare the fame fate.
The new appointed Commander of the French
troops in Hanover, has demanded of the States that
he &mild be regularly fupplied with fufficient pay,
neceflaries, and fubfillence, for a 6,000 men, the
amount of the French army in that country ; and in
cafe of refute' or non-compliance, he has threatened
to take the adminiftration of the revenues into his
own hands. The States have tranfmitted a ninon-
!trance to Paris againit the intentions of the Com-
mander, and have implored form indulgence. They
have alfo difpatched Mr. theme to Bremen, to en-
deavour to negotiate a loan there to the amount of
three millions of livres.
Saturday a confiderable number of letters were re-
ceived in town from Rotterdam, by the Jacoba, Twee
Gebroders, Vriendfchap, and Vrow Refetina, neutral
flips, arrived in the River, and by thefe we learn that
the weather on the Continent has been attended by
all the feverity of winter; a froft, accompanied by a
heavy fall of (now, took place in different parts of
Holland. during the firft week in July.
The Dutch armaments for the invafion have been
'officially reported completely ready for fereice.
It is Rated, in thefe accounts, to be the purpofe of
Zona AAAAA to concentrate the whole of his naval
forte at Brett ; and under the promaion of this fleet,
which is animated at 4.6 fad of the line. the Boulogne
and Dutch armaments are io make their &Mt. Ge-
neral Auoaasen, who has the chief diretion of this
enterprife, is Rated to have received his final orders
from the new Emplace, and to have left Peas for
the purpofe of embarkation.
At Vienna there have been leveret rumours of fe-
rious differences between the Archduke C and
his aorta brother. The difmilial of this Prince,
and various other changes in the military department
were alto talked of. Reports of a nature fo prejudi-
cial being traced by the Emperor, were found to ori-
ginate with Tome Generals and members of the Aulic
Council of war, two of whom have been difplaced,
and put under confinement at their own houfes till
further orders. Some other difmiffals are alfo talked
ot, as being fpeedily apeSed. The objeta of all
there intrigues is Paid to have been the reftoration of
the influence of the Aulic Council, a kind of body
corporate, which, previous to the exertions of the
Archduke Cuaacis, was independent even of the
Emperor.—Leplea Gazette.
By private advices from Peteriburgb, of the 27th
Or. it is known that a camp of near 60,000 men is to
afTemhle in the vicinity of the Port of Cronftadt, where
the EMPEItOR hirnfelf will review the troops, and the
Grand Duke CortsrawriNE will have the immediate
command under him.—An interview between his
MAIESTT and the EMPEROR of GERMANY, and the
' KING of Pau MI, is likewife talked of.
The Vienna letters of the 4th intl. mention, that
the Imperial Court has been charged by BONAPARTE
in propofe overtures for a pacification between Great
B:itain and France, which are f.tid to have been corn-
aunicated to Mr. ARTHUR PAGET, the Britiflt hli.
