London, Sept. 6.
A parcel ofGerman Papers reached us
this morning. BY the accounts from
Switzerland, it appears, that on the 10Th
uIt. the Diet had the satisfaction TO be
Informed, that the money vested in the
English funds, and which had been put
under sequestration while the sovereignty
of Switzerland was usurpcd by France, is
now to be repaid, with all accruing divi-
dends. The whole is to be applied in Ii
qudation of the debts due by the States
to private individuals. The Rhine still
continues very high aud covers great
extent of the level of the country In
Appenzell, the mountains are still cover
ed with snow, at season when the flOcks
usually covered the high pastures. On
the 2lst. ult. the Lake of Geneva was Sc

In the Commune of Jules about three

and in that of Champion about one half,

been great. As might be expected from
so extensive calamity, many of the in

A letter from Laybach SAYS, that the
creation of the new kingdom of WWia
has caused great Joy TO the inhabitants.
On the publication of the Decree, that
city was spontaneously Illuminated.
BY letters this morning received from
Naples TO the 10Th ut. we learn that the
whole of the American squadron contin-
ued there. MIR. PINKNEY had delivered
his credentials to the King, and some of
fetal notes had passed between them,
the substance of which was, of course,
only known by report, which were, that
the matter was likely TO be accommodate
ted by certain advantages TO be granted
to the American trade; other reports at
Naples were, that either The money, or
the port OF Syracuse in sovereignty as

The information which we this day give
from Cairo, ofthe rising of tile Jews, at
first sight, excites but little sensation
but, ON reflection, if seems entitled to no
little attention. The readers of this Ga
zette, will no doubt rccolle t, that few
years since, we published a very remark
able prophecy from a London paper, and
thus Far The Prophecy has been fulfilled
and who knows, Except God HIMSELF lbut
the jew Leader, who is spoken ofip our
article from Cairo, may be that great Ge-
neral, who, according TO the Prophecy,
(Which we copy below is gathering the
Israclites together. and leading them TO
their own country, 10 lay The foundation
OF their future greatness? We could here
indulge IN train ofthOughts on this in
teresiing subject; but our readers can
draw their own conclusions, aftrrperuing
the Prophecy, and the news from Caro-
Which follows it.
