The foreign journals prefent a MATS of incon-
gruous rumors, from which it is hardly poGi-

thing is certain, that Germany isundergoing
complete change in it's political contributions,

We have received Paris papers TO The 9Th.

The Turkih amoaf'ador had his introduSto-
ry audience ON the fame day that Prince Louis
was hailed king of Holland. The addrefs
which he delivered on tn location, is publiih-
ed in the ofi'ial paper, in the original Turkiih
characters. Could we place much reliance up
on the trannaton annexed to it, we nlouId be
apprehenlive that the Porte WAS anxious for an
immediate renewal of his former connection
with France. Bonaparte hints at fomething of
this kind in his anfwer. The fafety and advan-
tages of an Intimate alliance with him, are fug-
gened in fuch way, that it is to he feared, a
clo.er relation than that which binds the two
countries at prefent is not only meditatcd, but
in progrefs.
The long, and il mutt be admitted, import
ant ferVices of TaI!eyrand, have been rewarded
with principllity. Two Italian dutchies, it
fecms, we're in difpute between the courts of
Rome aud Naples. Bonaparte put an end TO
the difference by feizng on the diGputed terri
tory, and comforting one of the principalities
upon TaIleyrand, and the other upon Berna
dote. The former is now prince and duke of
Bevento ; the latter, prince and duke of Poute
Cirvo.

made fome i;nprehion on the funds, that Mr.

pauy with M. D'Oubril, upon pacific negoci-

Mr.. Adair's arrival at Vienna are yet received,

afcertained, is extremely Objectionable.
