teen days ; this space of time being sufficient to
conatnutticate the negociations to Russia. The
hope of an approaching peace still exists.
They write from Munich that the insurgents of
the Tyrol still defend with obstinacy the defiles of
Brenner; wounded arrive hourly at Inspruck.
Scarcity begins to be felt in rho Tyrol, whither
lateral hundred carriages laden with flour and
wheat have been seta from Bavaria....(L'ilbeille
du Nord, Aug. 15.)
Nuarmautte, Auo. 17.... A report was circu.
lated not long since, that England had been in.
vited to take part in the negociations ; this news is
confirmed. '1 he Emperor of Austria dispatched
a Courier from Brun's, on the 20th of July, fur
London. lii► dispatches have no other object
thin that of engaging :he King of England to
make peace. This courier passed through Nancy
on the Bth of this month. The reports which
retched us yesterday evening at the best ex.
pectations....(k/em.)
B t NILS or rite ELUE, AUG. 25.... With regard
to the peace with Austria, nothing new has Iran.
spired ; and reports on this subject continue as
fluctuating and uncertain as ever. Letters from
Berlin were received hereon the 211 inst. by a most
respectable house, stating, that a very serious mis.
understanding had broken out between Napoleon
and Alexander, both with regard to Gallicia and
Turkey, as well as to some other fresh encroach.
meats which Bonaparte intends to inalCe upon the
Continent. lie is said further to demand the ces.
sion of all the territories which Prussia holds on
her side of the River Oder, including Berlin, Stet.
tin, &e. Prussia will, it is said, be indemnified for
her new sacrifices, by the cession of Austrian Si.
lesia. The same accounts add, that the greater
part of the Prussian army has received orders to
hold itself in readiness to march ; and in the first
circles in Berlin, a more intimate connection
between Russia and Prussia was also confidently
talked of.

The Warsaw article by this day's mails plainly
shows. with what insolence and unbecoming hau-
teur the Gallic usurper treats the troops of the
Emperor of Russia while in Catkin, and the very
Polish General assumes a tone in speaking of
Russia that savours more of protection than re-
pect for so great a Power. In all probability we
shall ere long hear of a new series of most mo-
mentous political occurrcuccs on the Northern
Continent.

VIENNA, Aua. 12.—The negociations with
Russia respecting the Porte have hitherto delayed
the signing of peace; but %ell-informed persons
unanimously assert that its chief conditions arc
already definitively settled. In this manlier the
news of the preliminaries of peace having been
actually signed ought to be interpreted.
The `French prisoners of war are now ex-
changed for Austrians, several transports of the
latter, who were already on the march to France,
are for this reason returning.
On the 9th inst. died here, Geu. Vukuso.
rich, of a mortal wonnd he received in the battle
of Wagram, in the 51th year of his age.
The Minister of State, Chatnpagny, went
yesterday to the Castle of Alteaburgh, on tho'
frontiers of Hungary, where we learn the conk.'
renew respecting peace are to be held.
Instead of Count Stadion, Count Nletternich
has taken upon himself the Department of Fo.
reign Affairs, ad interim, with Count Cliampag-
ny, in the Castle of Altenburg.
On the 3d inst. apprehensions were enter.
tamed at Trieste. A squadron of 10 English men
of war appeared in the morning. of that day, in
sight of that port. Upon this the seven Russian
ships of the line and frigates, in that port, went
into the inner harbtnir, and delivered part of their
.heavy guns to the French garrison, who planted
them on the coast batteries. On account of the
infernal invention of Congreve's rockets, all fears
had not however disappeared.—(Correspondent.)
The general rumour states that Bohemia will
be cedrd to one of the Archdukes, with the title
of a King, and this King will be Grand Duke of
Wurtzburgh, eldest brother to the Emperor, who
will then immediately join the Coufederation of the
Rhine, as new King of- Bohemia.
ImsenucK, Auo. 15.—Along the whole neigh-
bouring frontiers of the Tyrol general insurrec.
tion unhappily prevails. Wounded men have been
brought here from the environs of Ilindelang, five
lemons south from Kempten. The notorious
Chief, tinter, of Passayer, has had the audacity
to reply to the order to appear in Inspruck by
the 10:h of Aug. that he will come, but accont-
panied by ten thousand sharp.shooters. It is he
who occupies the Brenner with a large force of
vasants. The attempt to dislodge them from the
pass of Burgh, not far front Steinach, has not
succeeded. They depended, not so much on
arms, as pieces of rock and beams of timber,
which they hurl from the high mountains on both
sides into the narrow valley.—(Correspondent.)
Lisle tv, Auo. 16.—Tranquillity in the Vo.
ralberg is yet very precarious. Front Bregenix
to Feldkirch the inhabitants are indeed disarmed ;
but in the mountainous districts of NI ontasun, and
on Mount Alderberg, which lies between 'fyrol
and Voralberg, the insurrection has broken out
anew at the instigation of the Tyrolean:,—(Cur-
respondent.)

conflagration was stopped.
FR 4NILFORT, AUG. 23.-Though the Viral.
berg is completely occupied by French and Bars.
rian troops, and the insurrection is utterly quelled
I there, the same cannot be said of the Tyrol ; fur
on the 13th ea attack was made by a considerable
body of insurgents, who had been set at liberty
before, in the course of which they lost 1000 men.
On the other hand, Colonel Count de Arco was
killed by a ball.
The King of Wirtcmburgh has published in the
Official Gazette of Stutgart, of the 16th instant, a
IDecree of thefollowing tenor :—" As his Majesty
has been pleased fur special reasons, to decree,
that those who are guilty of speaking unbecuto.
ingly of the high person of the King should be
considered as mad, and therefore go unpunished ; '
it is nevertheless ordered, to prevent such persons
frotn doing any mischief to society, that they
shall be declared unfit to fill any public office."
PARIS, Auc. s.—Au Imperial Decree con.
cerning the establishment of French Custom. '
houses on the bunks of the Rhine, dated Schoen.
brume, 18th of July, 1809, is to the following
purport :
64 Art. 1. There shall be established a line of
French Customhouses from Rees, on the right
bank of the Rhine, to Bremen, passing through
the Duchies of Cleves, Niue:Act., and Osnabrook.
This line shall from Bremen cover the right bank
of the Weser, and extend till it reach the line al.
ready formed on the Elbe.
66 t!. Our Counsellor Director. General of the
Customs shall carry this Decree into effect, and
watch over the execution of the laws against
English merchandise.
" N A POLEON."

MUNICH, Ace. IS.—The Duke of Danizic
marched with the first division of the Bavarian
army to Sterzing, in order to support the division
of General Royer, who had met with some re.
sistancc from the insurgents of the Pusterthal,
in the mountains between Sterzing and Brizen.
At the same time the 3d Bavarian division had
eict with insuperable obstacles in the passes of
the Oberintha, which the insurgents had blocked
up. lu conscquence the Alarshal retreated over
the Brenner from Steraing, and arrived un the
11th at Inspruck, where the whole corps was
cantoised. The rebels drew near Inspruck, and
they succeeded partly by threat., and partly by
persuasion, in rousing the inhabitants of the
neighbouring districts into rebellion ; so that the
corps was on all sides cnv►runed and cut od from
the rest of the country.
On the 13th, a great body of the insurgents col.
ledtsd round Inspruck, and commenced a general
attack. The battle lasted till six in the evening,
when the insurgents were compelled to abandon
the field, leaving 1000 amoag the dead. The next
day the insurgents remained dispersed at a consi.
derablc distance from Inspruck ; and the column
stationed at aattenberg attacked the enemy with
success, and frustrated their design of possessing
the bridge Over the Inn, by Rattenberg.
The same day, the Duke sent Ins wounded
which cuuld be mum!, to Hameln ; and marched
with the first Bavarian sad French division of
General Royer to Schwarz. He was followed on
the 15th by Gomel Lkroi, who was to cover his
retreat through the Upper Inn Thal.
Dues eLPI, A uo. 12.—The day before yesterday
we received intelligence that 350 men, being the
corps of the Duke of Brunswick, bad passed the
frontiers of Bohemia, and were in the neighbour.

out against them from lionigstei`, and the same
number from hence, who soon dispersed the baud,

hither.

Issenucn, Ana. 7.—The following Ordcr of
the Day has been published hcrc :--

" The Military Commission established at In.
spruck has condemned to death John liaschhoch-
ler, schoolmaster, of the village of Werberg, and
Nicolo Unterleeliner, inhabilant of the same vil.
'age, and also ordered their houses to be but ned,
for having, at the head of an armed mob, attacked
sic 'Alters, who were sent to Werberg by order
of their officers, ill treated, and disarmed them ;
which sentence was this day carried into execu-
tion."

" Advice baying been received that Andrew

to send emissaries about the country, who circu-
late false rumours to seduce the inhabitants to
take up arms again, it is ordered, that every body
who is found unprovided with a legal pass front
his Magistrate, out of the limits of his ♦illage or
its districts, shall be imprisoned, delivered up to
a Military Commission, and executed in the space
of 24 hours. The Bailiffs, Burgomasters, and
Military Commandants are made personally no.
ponsiblo for the execution of this order."
Cana, AUG. 14.—A corps of French troops,
which General Fiorella detached from Verona,
under General Ayiner, to the Italian part of the
Tyrol, has been engaged not far from Trent,
where the road divides to Carinthia and Verona,
with the Vuralberg insurgents, chiefly from the
Pusterthal ; but the latter had such an advantage-
,
ous position, near the pass of Clause!, that it be-
came impossible to dislodge them. It will at last
be necessary to reduce those deluded wretches by
famine.

MUNICII, AUGUST 16.--.lii the night of Mon.
day, the 14th inst. the corpse of Brigadier Maxi-
milian Count Vun Arco was brought here under
escort, he having been killed by a shot through
the head, on the 13th, in an engagement with the
Tyrolean insurgents, near Schism. The King had
entrusted him with the chief command of the vu.
'unwell. He received his wound when he rode to
reconnoitre near the abbey. Ilia death causes ge.
neral mourning, and the King hearing of the loss,
shed tears. The Ist sad 2d legion of the national
militia are now to be put ou foot. The third class,
without the exception of rank or °lice, must then
do military duty, and mount guard.

riturostrl TENAZ.

LOA' DON :
FRIDAY) SLPTEiIIER &.

TUE contest in the Peninsula, together with the
short.lised splendour of the WELLcsmays.—rhet
Marquis—the Viscount-..and the other Brother,
are at an end. The sole hope now seems to be
that,of escape..--Tba vulgar organ of Ministers,
The Morning Pod of this day, has (zre suppose
by order) made the following humiliating codes.
sion

" The utter want of energy in the inferior agents of the
" Supreme Junta, throughout the laiole wear of opereliong,
" has, la Lord WscLaserces judgment, evince', the Wel
" inexpediency of pursuing further operatiass to that part of
" Spain."

We are at a toss to conceive the ground of
Lord WELLINGTON'S restriction of this inexpe-
diency to "that part of Spain ;" fur the want of
energy in the "inferior agents" is stated to ex.
tend "throughout the whole scene of operations."
The plain English of this admission is simply,
that there Is a majority of the people of the Pe-
ninsula in favoer of the hem l/sra•ity,. and the
•bolition of the Inquisition. Lord WELLESLI r
and the tirarsh Merchants at Caine may join
as heartily, and as loudly, as they please, in
drinking the health and deliverance. of " the
Pope," with three—or eren three times three—
but they may rest assured that the abolition of
the Inquisition and of Feudal Rights, has dune
more.t.or King Joseph in Spain, than all that
the Supreme Junta, with the Marquis at their head,
assisted by the heroic Viscirint of Talavera, will
be able to effect against

The only occurrence in history, which fur_
Dishes any thing approaching to a parallel with
this memorable toast, drank (nu know nut
whether given) by an English Ambassador—i
the old story of the ceremony of trampling on th,,
Cross by the Christian Dutch at JIM, fur per.
mission to trade. Perhaps we have at leugllt
adopted the policy of AeoLeon, who assumed
She .I.lustalman's title of " 411 BON4PARTE" in
Egypt. It lb to he !amen ted that the Cu ANCE ta.oa of
the Excitanueu was not present, to join in tho
pious wish for his Holiness's deliverance. As to
Mr. CANNING, his memorable speech, in which he
so happily alluded to the Bishop of ST. Anocao
marching between the effigies of FEKUISAND the
Seventh and our Lady of P11..1.11, leaves no doubt
that he would have beau transported into att
antithesis of rapture at such an opportunity of
displaying his sincere abhorrence of the horrible
principles of his predecessors. The conclusion of
the confession in The Post runs thus :
" The Supreme Junta bas been deceived by the most false
" represeutatious assiitance never giwit ; and until that
" Burly shall liar the useiuss of enforcing its on• unwise&
" resolution►, it would be in vain to attempt measures which
" u• ut, (ruin tie stature of things, depend much upon the
" ***ordinate authoi dies fur success.-

The dispatches which it may be prcsuincd
contain this " Judgment of Lord !JILL:A-G.
TON," were brought over in the Pickle brig, by
Captain STEWART, after a passage of eleven da)s,
from Lisbon. The Pheasant, of 18 guns, with
dispatches from Spain, and a vessel from Gijon,
hate also arrived ; so that we have intelligence
(rein several quarters of the Peninsula.—With
respect to the army of Lord IVELLINL.TON, ail
that has transpired is, that he had retreated from
Delehdosa to Truxillo, distant about '26 miles,
without molestation, but under the must severe
privations—the scarcity of provisions and of
forage were extreme, and great numbers of harms
had perished.—!''ruin Truxillo the road diverges in
the directions of Portugal and of Cadiz—the deter.
initiation of Lord IVr.i.i.istazosr is nut with cer.
tainty known, but it is believed to be to retire
upon Portugal, and private letters from Lisbon re.
port the arrival of a part of the army at Elva', in
a very exhausted state. The French do not ap.
pear to have continued the pursuit much beyond
the Tagus : their last operation is announced to be
the capture of a part of the cannon and rear.
guard of CuasTA, whose resignation is an.

F

sounced.—The French army has separated
—Sortr and NET are again directing their
course to the North of Spain; the former had
already arrived at Placentia, and the latter at
Salamanca. The inhabitants of Corwin* and of
Ferrol are already in despair, at the certain pros.
rect of a fresh visit. At the latter place conside-
rable efforts are making by the Spaniards, assisted
by the seamen of the British men of war, to re-
move the Spanish Fleet. The main body of the
French Army is reported to be stationed in Estre-
miadura and La Maucha.

The retrograde morentent to Deleytosa, which
succeeded the victory at Talavera,and was announ.
ced on Thursday the 2 ith August, induced us to
observe that " the communications between Mar.
" shal BEWESEORD, Sir It. Wrcsom, and the
" combined armies, are actually intercepted ; no
two of them can communicate." We at the
same time observed, 6' in our statement of yes.
" terday, of the forces in Spain, the French
" troops are computed at more than 100,000.
" From circumstances that have since come to oar
knowledge, we have reason to believe, that the
6' numbers of the French in the Peninsula, greatly
44 exceed that statement." On the following
day, Friday, Ire expressed our opinion, that the
corps of Marshal IlEnEtronn and Sir Rostar
WITIoN were "in imminent danger of being cut
off"—and expressed uur firm and final conviction,
that the " population of Spain cannot be roused
to exertion."

Marshal BRIMMED has effected his escape to
Castel Branco—but the corps under Sir Ruses?
Witton, after nine hours fighting against Nees
division at lianas, has been obliged to retire into the
boy ntains—in other words is dispersed and cut off.
The letters which have arrived with the dis-
patches, now admit the French to have 91,000
ben in Spain ; but including all the garrisons,
that is onquestionably far below the real num-
Der. It must be remembered, that, independent of
the army behind the Ebro, 200,000 men were
poured into Spain, from whence not a re.
gitnent but the Imperial Guard was withdrawn.
With respect to oilr assertion, that the population
of Spain could not be roused, we refer to the
judgment of Lord WELLINGTON respecting the
inferior agents. The fact is now too well ascer-
tained to render any observations on the delusions
of The Post, The Time., The Courier, &c. in-
teresting. The advanee of the main body of the
?trench army into La Mancha intercepts thecom-
inunication between Tra%eicas and the combined
armies under I.urd WELLINGTON and General
tees at, who INA succeeded COMA.
General BASAETLROS was proceeding, when
the vessel left Gijon, to re-occupy Santander,
assisted by three of oar frigates ; but the re-
turn of NET to the North will, it may be
feared, frustrate all the plans in that quarter.
.--The Spaniards, with the assistance of our navy,
tasy, It is true, fur a time, harass and annoy the
French ; but the present contest in the Peninsula
will base a termination similar to that of the Suc-
cession War. The French interest will finally
prevail, and Spain will be again as closely united
with France as she was by the famous Family
Compact, which NAPGLEON is determined to re-
vive in his own family.
COMA is 114Siiled on all sides : Cowardice,
Treason, and Incapacity, have been very lavishly
bestowed on this Officer. But let us hear what he
has to say for himself. If, wilco he reads the dis.
patches of Lord WELLINGToNt CUESTA does not
reply, we shalt be greatly astonished. Our
opinion rev. picting CuerrA Is very different
from that which seems prevalent. The battle of
Talavera was clearly the effect of a surprise.-
Lord WELLTNOTGN certainly did notexpect, when
he rrfiected on CuastA for .refesiog to fight the
French arasy...that he should be himself attacked
almost immediately by that very army...-faord
WILLLINGTON was also surprised by the ultimo of
Scour in his rear....lt remains to heat both
stories, before we decide on the relative merits
as Commanders, of Lord Wat.eiNGTON, and
thy: Spanish Gen :ray. It is, we think, clear, that
CUEST a knew the enemy better than Lord WEL-
LINGTON. The excuse of the British Commander
of wanting provisions, might hive been admis-
sible, if lie had been without positive recent ex-
perience of the real situations of Spain and Por.
tugal. Bat we would ask any man to peruse the
various narratives of the march of Sir J. Moose,
whether there can be the slightest excuse for hav-
ing thus rashly advanced into the heart of a coun.
try so ucll known. The French can more, while
we are statiunary from starvatiou. Why ? They
have profited by experience, and have formed
depots. And so might wc, if the obstinacy and
ignorance of Ministers would have permitted them
to condetrend to adopt a judicious policy with re-
sleet to the Barbary Powers.--Magazines to any
extent might have been formed with facility, and
at a moderate expenee. But while our Ansbaua.
(lot, With fawning servility, toasts the Pore-e•
truly our inflexible Ministers cannot bend to that
y which might secure the Barbary Powers in
this inatnint.at crisis.

,
'lnc Foreign Papers do not yet announce
Peace—and the pause in the Negotiations has
furnished a convenient opportunity to start a
fresh delu►ion. A LEX 114 DER is said to be in a
pet at the French eagles being displayed, without
asking his consent—and the King of PRUSSIA is
embodying his troops, in consequence of a ru-
moured demand of the cession of Berlin, and
the erection of Bohemia into an independent
kingdom.—This is afresh " Tub" thrown out
to amuse the British public—but if Peace be
not concluded, Russia and Prussia are now
too late to enter into the renewed contest
with any hope of success ; the chasms in the
ranks of the French army are filled up ; rein.
forcements have arrived, are arriving, and may
be drawn from France almost indefinitely—for
the efforts of the British Ministry, which Napo-
Laos always despised, are no longer calculated to
give him one moment's disquietude, and the pro-
tection of France may he safely committed to her
National Guards.

The subjugation of the Tyrol and the Voral-
haegli has bceu hitherto found impracticable.

IT is absolutely ludicrous to see how heavily
responsibility is now heaped on the lute Com-
mander of the Expedition. The project was wise,
vigorous) and luminous—every thing was done
at home that human sagacity could dictate :
—first, an Officer was appointed to the com-
mand, whose military genius, experience, and
activity had the concurrent and applauding
voice of the nation ;—next, the re.,l situation
of the objects of attack was ascertained with the
most minute precision ;—and, lastly, the commu-
nication between the Commander and our Mini,.
ter, was incessantly kept up, with the c,reption
of intervals of eight or nine days !—Vigorous,
wise, and luminous !!!--To be serious : the most
powerful Expedition ever fitted out was entrusted to
an Officer against the entire voice of the nation—and
of the actual state of the objects of the Expedition,
it is now clear that Ministeis were profoundly ig.
norant. Well, Lord Cu VISIAM sits down before
Flushing. Did Ministers complain? No. The guns
were fired when it surrendered; •we heard nothing
but rejoicing. Had they complained of the occu-
pation of Beveland ? No. All this was preps.
ratory to ulterior operations. At the end of a
month after we Ismd been triumphing fur the bom-
bardment of Flushing, the ulterior objects are
found to be unattainable, and Ministers fly
into a great passion against Poor Lord CHAT-
KAM, for stopping to lake Flushing!! fur
which capture the guns were fired, and the Trea-
sury and other Gogernment Offices resounded
with the most tumultuous joy. To shift the
odium from themselves, the hirelings are now di-
Toetod to spatter Lord CHATHAM !—Exquistely
tionsistent—but Gentlemen it will not do!

Tat China fleet has arrived off Portland ; it
consists of the

Ewe:, Elphinstone, Canton, Ceres, David Scott, Dome-
shire, Ocean, Alnwick Castle, Royal George, Witicbelsea,
Thomas Grenville. and Widmer Cattle. from China; the
Carmarthen, from Bombay. The Warley, from Chins, bed
arrived off the Cape.

Yesterday afternoon we had advice' of the ar.
rival of a ship from Gijon. It will be recol-
lected that General BALLASTENOS was proceeding
to Santander, with the design of taking possession
of that place, assisted by sumo British ships of
war. This vessel brings a report, that with the
co-operation of three English frigates this purpose
had been accomplished.
Some letters were received yesterday from Gib.
raltar, dated the 1-4th ultimo. Nothing of a po.
litical kind had occurred; but, from the vicissi.
tedes to which the Government of Spain was ex-
posed, there was almost a total stagnation of
trade at that fortress. It is well known that the
garrison and inhabitants of Gibraltar are pro-
vided with meat by large importations of bullocks
from Barbary, which, to the number of about 4000
for the former, and 2000 fur the latter, are con.
traded for, at the price, perhaps, of 20 dollars a.
head. Stich contracts might be prodigiously extend-
ed,were it nut for false notiuns of pride or policy in-
dulged by the British Ministry, that has withheld
that compliment to the reigning Sovereign of those
districts of Africa which has been before confer-
red. We are told that the disasters of the army
ander bard WELLINGTON are to be attributed to
the deficient supplies of provisions to the troops.l
had the proper engagement been made with the
Chiefs iu Barbary, it is highly probable that
abundant resources of this kind would have been
rendered, in a great measure, independent of the
precarious means of subsistence afforded by the
Spanish Government.
The Master of a vessel which is arrived from
Zeiricksee, reports, that the firing of cannon had
been heard on Saturday from the South. East of
South tideland, from which an opinion had ori-
givated that some conflict (probably only a skir-
mish) had taken place in the neighbourhood of
Bata ; a considerable portion of our troops :lot
having quitted their position in Suoth Bevelaud so
late as Sunday last.
Letters from Gibraltar of the 14th nil. state,
that intelligence had been received there that the
Toulon fleet was ready for sea. In consequence,
two additional men of war had prem./led from
Gibraltar to reinforce Lord COLLINOWOOD, who
was off Toulon. The same letters inform us
that the Algrrine cruizers were out in great num-
bers in the Mediterranean ; but nu accounts had
been received of their having as yet offered any
molestation to British ships.

turned from Stockholm yesterday afternoon. The
troops were drawn out to receive him. Re alight.

STOCKHOLM, AUG. 18.—A letter written by.
General Count Wride to his Majesty's actual
Adjutant-General of the army, and dated Olofs-
fors, the 19th instant, contains the following in-
telligence :
" This moment an express arrived here by sea,
from Adm. Puke, relative told. expeditious passage
from llcrnosand to Ratan, and the landing effect-
ed on the morning of the 17th instant. The
whole Russian farce had taken up a position on
this side of the river Umea, ready to cross it on
the 17th at night; but having the same evening
received information of the descent effeCted by
our troops, the Commanding General of the Rus-
i.ian troops ordered part of them to march to the
northward, and the remainder to halt near their
former position. As late as yesterday we re-
mained perfectly ignorant of the occurrences, in
consequence of the Russians, who, from the cordon
guarding so closely the lines of their position,
that no kind of intelligenie could be obtained by'
our scouts ; but General Euston having this day
moved from Horne, the communication was open-
ed, and we shall now, without delay, cross the
Vie ; the difficulties, however, which we have to
encounter, are very great. From want of regu.
lar bridges we have been obliged to form a bridge
of boats, in order to convey the artillery and train
across the river, and the same obstacle will ob.
struct our advance at every rivulet we meet with
on our march, the Russians having burnt all the
bridges between this place and Umea, a circum-
stance which cannot but strongly impede the ra-1
pidity of our movemcnts."--(Stockheles G=ette.)
