Mous, Dee. 9.--We are informed, that a cn
tier from General MARNONT arrived lea TLin Ida ).
with difpatdies relative to the orders lately Arco by
the Batavian Cove►ninent to the Airny of the State.
General Vaorioi.tra, who is charged with the co►►t-
mend of the French troops within our Republic,

Dec. t I.—Notwithilanding ene of our inland
Newfpapen alerts, that letters dire& from Madrid,
down to the 19th of Nay. make no mention of a decla-
ration of war by Spain again& England, as it has been
alerted in France, the French Papers received this day
Rate Natively, that the Declaration was announced
in all the Spandh letters. Thus far the intelligence
may not be °Mast : but what is fo often repeated in
Newfpapers which are always written under infpcc-
tion, appears to have tome kind of pledge belonging
to it, proving, at kali. that people arc very touch
inclined to hays foch news credited.
The laa letters from the German Empire 'tete.
that the Court of Vienna has appointed Baron &A-
DS. its envoy to Sweden, and Capella Baron Aa *-
VELDT. in the equity 'of Swab& Minifier, which
completely overthrows the reports of a contrary nor,
turf, lately to confidentially propagated.
Dec. tor.-I'he•Batavian Committee of Finances
at the Hague brought up a report to the Legillatlve
Body on the t sib intl. for confirming the repetition.

menu of the general augmentation of the exigencies
of the &ate for the year Otos, was to be increafed
by one million of florins. fog ext►aordioaries of (hip.

Cent poifers, to exceed in any, much lets in fu elorbi.
taut a degree, the items contented to, when the aug-
mentation was voted, it would then be quite fuper-
thous for them to judge of the augmentation of the
exigencies of the State, and to give their content to
the fame.

which hits arifen between the State Directory and the
Legiflative Body, relative to the true meaning of the
aiiti Article of the State Regulations, which conlifts
in the hollowing point :—Whether the State Directory
is bound, on fending up the augmentation of the exi-
gencies of the State, to elk confent to all the parti-
cular items and fub-divilions of the funs required, in
order to abide by them precifily ; or. whether it is
folficient for the State Directory to elk confent to the
petition for the aggregate rums. and whether it is
competent to appropriate and divide the raid fume in
their fub.divilions, as it may appear ro tl. of neeefrary
for the RepilUe. On which point the Legillative
Body had taken the firlt, and the State Directory the
fecond alternative. The aforefaid Committee decide 4

ing the feeontl alternative, with fourteen votes ageing
twelve. whilll one Member was of opinion. that the

announce, that a Tot kills envoy is appointed to con-
gratulate the Emperor Na?nt.ton on tits acceffion,
in the name of the Gland Signior. It was thbught,
however, that he would not let out from Conflanti

hated to he in confequence of an ezprefs demand of

All the preparations fcr war, in the Pruffian States,
for the Taft fourteen days, are finally countermanded.
The movements of tl.e troops have miler!, and thole
who bad orders to hold themfelves in leadinefs for
Marching, remain at their refpative quarters.
They write from Berlin, that the 'Log of Pruffia
holds ahnoft daily conferences with his Minifiers ;
and that not a day paffes without his having private
conferences with Baron HARM/1111RO, who enjoys
his particular confidence.
There is a conllaut communication betwixt Berlin
and Peterfborght and likewife between Berlin and
Paris ; every thing. therefore, it is thought, announ-
ces that an approximation between France and Ruf
fia, through Om mediation of the Cabinet of Berlin,
is on the point of taking plate. M. LAFORIST, the
French Etwoy, has very frequent conferences with
Baron HARDSIIik ItG. as well as M. ALOPE 3, the
Ruffian Minitter. He has likewife daily c‘ thrences
with the Aultrian Envoy. The purport of the latter
is, it is generally affirted, an arrangement relative
to the unfettled affairs of Germany.

As the fubjeft of the Eaablifhment and Education
of the Princcfa CHAILL,,TTE is now fo generally talk-
ed of, we (hall, to-morrtroa, give the opinion of the
Judges on the queflion, lubmitted to them by
Gloaull I. It will be teen that ten were of opinion
that the reigning King has a right of direfling the
education and difporing in marriage of his grand-
children. Two of the Judges, however, PRICE and
Eyeu, difTcnted, and gave the reafons why they
thought that the King had the right to difpofe in
marriage, but not to the care and education of the
perfon of his grandchildren, which belonged to the
Prince their father.
