MEMORIAL.

Hit Majefty the KING of Paussta is informed that
the two High Powers to whole amicable mediation
Germany is indebted for the falutary arrangement re-
fpeaing the affair of the indemnities, are ready to again
offer to the Germanic Empire their intervention in
regard to the numerous difficulties and difenfions to
which the execution of the laft Reces of the Deputa•
tion of the Empire gave rife, and particularly con-
cerning the immediate Nobility, and that an overture
on this fubjeft has already been made to the Diet on
the part of the French Government, his Majefly con-
lequently thinks that he can no longer defer explain-
ling with opennefs to his high co eßates of the Em-
pire his opinion on this overture, and in general un
l.the new turn which things have taken.
In the memorial delivered on this fubjelt, on the
26th of January laft, to the General Diet of the
Empire, it was recommended as the heft expedient,
and as thc with emitted in the propofal of his Ma-
jcl;7—‘. That in order to eftablifh general principles,
tinted to the future relation between the Equeltrian
Body and the Territorial Sovereigns, the affair
fliould be carried to the Diet,and fubmittedto a common
comitial deliberation, and that in the mean time the
Princes who had proceeded to the aft of t3king pof-
leflion in regard co equeltrian property, timid be
compelled to fufpend all thee pit:seceding.. A de-
claration was at the fame time added, that his Ma-
jetty the King, could not fee with tranquillity ad-
vantage taken of this opportunity to foment diifcn-
tions in the empire by forms of procednre, and to
accomplifh certain political objeas. His Majefly
remains invariably attached to this opinion and thefe
views, even after what has long paired.
Even at the period of the Paid comitial declaration
and before it was made, his Majefly had tranfmitted
to the fame purpofe, overtures, counfels, and amica-
ble invitations, to the Courts with which he is moft
intimately conneaed, and particularly to thole which
are direaly interefied in this affair. While his filajefly
had reafon to hope for a better effea from there Reps,
the conclufion of the Imperial Aulic Council of the
empire, which isgenerally known,made itsappearance,
ordering to the Pi inces interefled the re•ellablifhment
of the antient Rate of the event i.n poftellions, and
decreeing at the fame time, a conimiffion of confer-
vation to the ArchJucal Houle of Aidlria, and to
three other eleflors of the empire, with the clank of
conjointly and jipard,?: , h 7 which each of them is fur-
nifhed with the full powers given by the communion
to all.

By deela:::tions made on the put of his Ilighnefs
the El:nor of Bavaria, an:l the example he has given,
and which, accord:og to the conolels of his Majety,
has been already followed, or will be, by the Princes
who are in the fame Iltuotion ; things have been, in
the mean time, re-eltahlithed in am inner which cs:T.ld.
alone be the object of the Aulie Custucil of the •Em•.
pire, which has no longer a iigtht 'to give to its fen-
tence an effeet farther ef.mminatory. This Hate of
things then does not permit his Aljeily to delay any
longer to make known his opinion to the Commifilon
of Conr:rvation which has been decreed.

His Majetly the King coon:fluently declares, that
he receiver, in the moCl!nlemn ini•iitter, his tights ;
all; Oink of the States which are united in the
fame principles with him, and the hitch:ll of the Em-
pire in general, again the fclf•titicd Commiaion of
Conflit vation, which the Aulic Council of the Ern.
p;tc carry have ;IR.,' in this complex, and vet-,- im-

Circles, the Direelory of which he enerciCtist—and

to kiss all arms and ammunition congealed there for:

goods had all been conveyed away two days before.

E 14313411, Aram to.—General Destottes bas
written to the Chamber l'ere, that be bad no flare in
the meatuses taken in Weftphalia, but that bls ►few
in fending a detachment to Meppen was only to pr
vent recruits and arms front going to England, but
by so means to flop the paffage of goods. Thislettee
has been communicated to the merchants, and it is
hoped that the proceedings of the French commercial
Agents to obftruft the con►eyance of goods by the
Ems will now ceafe.

new tower.

Swirzatteno, Agin. • I,—The inclination on
the Lake of Zurich has been quelled. by the troops
which marched front Zurich on the third.

&MICH, MARCH so.—The new troubles in this
Canton have already been attended with the difaf-
trous fcenes of civil war: The firft was burning the
Cattle of Waldifchwyl, which was fct on fire by the
piafants on the night between the. 24th and 25th of
this month. Three days after, goomen of the federal
troops marched from this town, under the command
of Colonel Zreonsa, to combat the infurgents at.
Horgen. An attack earned, and was followed by.
fuecefs—but this fuccefs, though porchafed with a
great deal of bloodlbad on both fides, was only tem-,
porary, and not fofficiently decifive to terminate in
any manner the quarrel. Our public papers of yef.
terday gave the following account of this affair a
" Government having been informed that Come
evil difpored perfons affembled at Waldifchwyl bad
Cent emillaries to different parts of the canton, to in.
duce the people to make a common cattle with them..
and even had the audacity to take prifoners Come offi-
cers of Zurich who were at Affoltern for the recruits
bag, found itfelf obliged to employ againa this inertia.
flog evil fuch military forte as it had at its difporal.
In confequence the federal troops affembled here pot
themfelves in motion on the 27th of this month, to
march avid! Mogen and Waldifchwyl. The troupe
having arrived the fame day at Oberrieden, expe-
rienced on the part of the malcontents Tome refinance.
but this oppofition was foon overcome, and the march
to Horgen continued. At this place an Gl:idiom
battle commenced, and continued three quartets of
an hour, at the end of which the federal troops took
portnion of Mimeo. end the infurgents retired
towards the mountains and words. The
cultic', however, which the profecution of this,
advantage prefented, and the certainty that new
reinforcements from all the Cantons were ready to
march, or actually on the road, made it prudent to
renounce all farther enterprises. They therefore de-
termined to abandon again the village of Reeser:.
and the federal corps effeeted their retreat in fuch a
manner that the infurgents did no; venture to molen
them.

u a tcm, Ara t +—The confliEl near Horgan has
been bloody ; the tiled, that were buried in that •il-
-lahe, amounted to 36,men ; there were brides a great
many wounded; 3000 Confederate troops marched
)eflerday towards the rebellious diarifts, and this
force will, probably, quell the infurreeion.

rRONTIRRS Of SWIT2IRL•MD, A PA IL Z.—The nee
imports ferva-merely as a pretext for the tumults in
the fo.us mountainous di nriEls on the Lake of Zurich.
The caufe is, that they will not accept the French
aft of mediation.

BUDEN I AT THE COURT OF LONDON,
sea. DOWDthrttTett, April 36. 1804.
The experience which all Esrey has hod of the conduet of the
French Gatnenent, would have Induced his Mikity in pal: aver
io illetace, and to treat with Contempt, all the menfations which
that Government might have made sgaioft his Majeßy's Govern-
ment, If the very cite ordinary and unauthorized replies, which
facial of tbs Mtnifters of the Foreign Powen have thought pro.
per to make to a recent communication from the Minifter for Fo-
reign Affairs at Pail, had not given to the fubjedt of that com-
munication a greater importance than it would otherwife have
peffeffed..—His Majefty has, to confenuence, directed me to de-
clare, that be hopes he mall not be reduced to the neeeffity of re-
pelling, with malted (corn and loft -nation, " the atrocious and
utterly unloaded calamity, that the Government of his Majefty
have been a petty to plans of affaffination." An unladen al-
ready made with sepal falkhood and calumny by the fame autbo-
chy agaioft the Members of his Majefty's Government during
the la war—an aceolation incompatible with the honour of his
Majelty, 'and the known charader of the Britt& Nation, and fa
completely devoid of any findow of truth, that it may reafonably
• be prefinned to have been breath t forward at the preknf Moment
for no other parpofe than that of diverting the attention of Europe,
from the contemplation of the fanguinary deed which has recently
been perpetrated by the direa order of the Firß Conful in France.
in violation of the right of nations, and ba contempt of the Mott
Maple laws of htunanity and honour.
That his Majeßy's Government flould &tressed the feelings
of (itch of the inhabitants of France as are joky dikomented
with the emitting Government of that country : that they fhould

the degrading yoke of bondage under which it `roans, or to give

Fay fandtiona in the prefect cafe, not only by the prefect Rare of

Government. They arde►tly del re, u well as allEarope, to fee
an drder of things eitablighed in that country more cernpablile with
ite own happinefs, and with the fecurity of the furroupding nations;
but if that -wills cannot be aecompliesed, they are fully authorifed
by the ftrithehprinciples of perfonal defence, to endeavour to trip-
ple the elections, to (Wrist the operations, and to confound the
'plans of a Goverartthot, whore Wiens of warfare, as ac►nowkdged
by Well, i. not only to clatters the commerce, to diminith the
power, and to abridge the dominions of its enemy. but alto to carry
declination and turn tote the very bears of the &kith empire.
In the application of there principles, his Majclty has com-
mended me to declare, betide, that his Omornment have never
