ABSTRACT OF FOREIGN OCCURRENCES. Our Readers were Lift month apprized that thofe who act unjustly towards him should be punished." Every injury that the Chief Conful complained of has been redreffed by the Dey; and he has promifed, in the most pofitive terms, to give no further moleftation to the French flag. What proves more than any thing else the perfonal influence of Bonaparte is, that the Dey has alfo acceded to his requeft of abftaining from all hotties against the vesfels of the Italian Republic; though, "if gay other had made the prop fition, he would not have acceded to it for a million of piaftres." On the 21st of Auguft, the First Conful repired with great magnificence to the Contervative Senate, wh ch held its first furing in the manner prefcribed by the organic Senatus Confultum. The form was fomewhat fimilar to that attending the State vifits of the British monarch to the the Houfe of Peers. Four plans of Senatus Confulta were on this occafion profeuted to the Sena e. The first rel ted to the convocation and regulation of the proceede ings of the Senate. The fecond, to the regulation of the order in which the five feries of the departments thall be called upon to prefent deputies to the Legislative Body. The third, to the forms to be purfued in diffolving the Tribunate or L gfJative Body. The fourth, appointed the 24 principal cities, whofe mayors are to be prefent at the admiffering the oath to the perfon appoin ed to fucceed the First Conful.-An Organic Senatus Confultum decreed the mon of the Ife of Elba to the territory of the Republic, and dect red, that it fhall fend a deputy to the Legiflative; Body. The Minifter for Foreign Affairs afterwards prefented a copy of the DeclaraHon*, by which the Emperor of Ruffia and the First Corful have determined to conclude the tentou difficulties of the queftion of the Indeninities in Germany, and to fix the new proportions and powers of the princes interefted in that affair.The fecularizations are very general; the only Entellattic left in the College of Electors being the Arch-Chancellor of the Empire, a title formerly ann-xed to the Electorate of Mentz. The Electoral dignity will be conferred upon the Duke of Wirtemberg, the Landgrave of Heffe Caffel, and the Margrave of Baden, who, being a near reline of the Emperor of Ruffia, appears to have been greatly favoured in the allotment of territory. The King of Prudia has alfo a large portion; but the Prince of Orange does not obtain his without the incumbrance of tone French claims. The Grand Prior of Malta has fome indemnity affignee; and it is propofed, that the Bishopric of Ofnaburgh hall belong in perpetuity to the Elector of Hanover, mid- ́ vided he aindous his claims upon Hildethean, Corvey, and Hoexter. The Declaration commences by aligning the delay of the Germanic Body, in fulfilling the intentions of the Treaty of Luneville, as an inducement for the interference of Ruff and France," &c, Part, Sept. 5. The audience given on the 34 to the Corps Diplomatique by the First Conful was more brilliant and more tumerous than any that preceded it. It is, indeed, a grand, folemn, and affecting fight, to fee this femblage of all the an balladors of Europe, now rettored to Peace. What added to the interest of this audience was, the prefence of a man who had advocated with so much ability that Peace: it was at this audience that Mr. Fox was prefented. Twice did the First Conful In our next, this important State Paper thall be given at length. accoft him; and among many flattering things faid, "There are in the world but two nations; the one inhabits the Eaft, the other the West. The English, French, Germans, Italians, &c. under the fame civil code, having the fame manners, the famme habits, and almost the fame religion, are all members of the fame family; and the men who wish to light up again the flame of war among them, with for civil war. Thefe principles, Sir, were developed in your speeches with an energy that does as much honour to your heart as to your head." Alderman Combe (late Lord Mayor of London) was preferted at the fame aucence; and the Conful obferved to him, that "the firm and paternal conduЯ which he had adopted during the fcarcity in London, enfured him the esteem and gratitude of all Governments, and of all Statefmen." Mr. Fox dined on the fame day with the First Conful, who had a very long converfation with him, in prefence of a numerous company, as to the Iberty of the prefs in England, and the neceflity of its continuance fo long as England was to be confi dered as a free nation. In allufion to certain paragraphs which have given great offence, Mr. Fox obferved, that great characters were beyond the reach of malignant reports, which were to be attributed very frequendy to want of more important matter, and were often contradićted by the author himself; that newipaper criticism and feverity ought not to have much effect upon men in eminent fituations of life, &c. But it did not appear that the First Conful was at all perfuaded of the neceffity for fuch freedom as the London editors of newspapers feem to enjoy. The English newfp peis have been farbidden in Erance; and the fame reftriction has been put upon them throughout Belgium. Sept. 10. Toufint L'Ouverture has, according to a letter from Dijon, been at length fafely lodged in the cattle of Joux, near Portalies, in the department of Doubs. By a letter from Bourdeaux, dated the 5th inftant, we are now informed, that Madame L'Ouverture, with two of her children, one of her nieces, and feversl fervants, has arrived at Bayonne. She was cinducted to the inn by the mayor and the military commander in that town, with a detachment of grenadiers. Apartments will be made ready for her in one of the caitles. A fentiel is, in the mean time, pofed at her door. Sept. 15. Some changes have taken place in the French Miniftry. Abrial, the Minifter of Justice; Fouche, the Minifter of Police; and Roederer, the Councillor of State, and late Editor of the journal de Pari; av, amongst others, appointed Senators by the First Conful. Regnier is the new Minifter of justice; and the fuper intendance of public inftruction is given to Fourcroy, in the room of Reederer. No Minifter is appointed to fupercede Fouche; and it may therefore be prefumed that he is to hold his office, together with a feat in the Senate, it being provided by the 64th Article of the Senatus Confultum of the 4th of Auguft, that the members of the Senate may likewife be Minifters. Sept. 17. The incorporation of Piedmont with the French Republic is at length formally announced. By an Organic Senatus Confultum of the 11th inft, inferted in the Moniteur of this day, the departments of Po, Doire, Marengo, Sezia, Stura, and Tanaro, forming the whole of Piedmont, are declared to be united to the territory of the Republic. Thefe newly-incorporated departments are to fend 17 deputies to the Legislative Body, making the whole number of that body 318; and the city of Turin is to be comprized among those principal cities of the Republic, the mayors of which are to be prefent when the oaths are taken by the perfon appointed to fucceed the First Conful. Yesterday Mr. Fox, and the party at Paris with him, allifted at the extraordinary fitting which took place at the Tribunate. A few minures before the opening of the fitting, Ci zen Boyer, Captain of the Guard to the Tribunate, advanced to Mr. Fox, who was in one of the adjoining rooms, and addreffed him in the following terms: "I ani one, Sir, of 200 French officers, who in the year 3 were prifoners at Portchefter. We applied to you—you had the generofity to exert your eloquence in our favour, On a fudden our chains were broken, and we were almost free. This honefit will never be forgotten by my companions in misfortune; but I am at prefent happier than they are, becaule I am able to declare to you publicly my gratitude. I entreat you to add to it, if it be pofiible, by condefcending to accept my weak but fincere expreflion of it." Mr. Fox appeared to be mach affected by this act of gratitude. He replied with a motion expretive of modefty, "Oh! Sir, yes-I recollect.” The Agricultural Society of Paris has elected, as Foreign Affociate of the first clafs, William Marthail, efq. author of the "Rural Economy" of England, &c. and has communicated the fame, in a very flattering letter, to that gentleman in London, through M. Coquebert Montbret. ITALY. new Chief Magiftrate and the Cardinal Archbishop warmly complimented each other. SWITZERLAND, &c. The unhappy ftate of Switzerland be comes every day more manifeft. In additon to the five cantons of Uri, Schwitz, Underwalden, Glarus, and Appenzel, those of Rheinthal, Zuy, and Raden, have now declared themselves in a ftate of infurrection. In fhort, a determined spirit of hof tility appears to the fpreading fo rapidly throughout that country, as to render it impoffible for the Government of the Helvetic Republic fingly to contend with it, with any profpe& of fuccefs. town. The The troops of the Gaulo-Helvetic Government amount only to 28co men; and they have not money enough to raife or fupport more. By accounts of the 12th September, the fpirit of infurrection has extended to the Canton of Zurich. existing central Government, as it is called, having fent a, hatt lion of troops of another Canton (having oppofite opinions) to take poffeffion of the town of Zurich, the inhabitants refufed them a milion. Upon their refutal, Gen. Andermatt ordered that it fh uld be occupied by feveral companies of troops of the line. The unexpected arrival of this force produced great agitation among the inhabitants; they collected very tumultuously; and, as the effervefcence feemed to be carried to a very high degree, the Municipality, not choofing to take upon themselves all the refponfibility, thought proper to call to their affiftance fix perfons of the greatest influence in the After due deliberation, it was refolved to guard against all furprize by refufing admiffion to the troops. The Municipality of Zurich wrote to the Helvetic commandant, that the citizens would guard their own walls, and wished to fee no more foreign troops among them; that, notwithftanding, he would be permitted to enter, on condition that his foldiers should be lodged in barracks guarded by the citizens. Immediately afterwards, Citizens Veifs and Schintz left Zurich to have an explanation with the central Government. That took place on the 7th of September. General Andermatt, informed of these movements, left Lucerne on the 12th, with all the troops and artillery in the place. He arrived at night before Zurich; and at halfpaft two in the morning caufed the town to be fummoned, by the found of trumpet, to open its gates. The commandant of Zurich reped, that he would tend his requeft to the Municipality, and would wait their orders; upon which Gen. Andermatt began to bombard the town with fhelis: he fired 160, befides fome four and fixpound hall-. But his ammunition was foon expended, and he had no more than 2000 men. He offered at mine o'clock to fufpend pend hoftilities, provided a part of the town was put into his bands, until he could re'ceive ulterior orders from his Government. In effect, an Armiftice was agreed upon till Saturday the 18th, at fix o'clock in the evening; but the citizens, enraged at the attack made upon them, and encouraged by the bad fuccefs of the morning attack (there were none killed or wounded, and the fire occafioned by the thells was foon extinguished), refufed all other arrangement. Their friends from the country were arriving every hour to the fuccour of Zurich; particularly old General Steiner, who, at 80 years of age, entered the city at the head of 300 men well armed. Hoftilities have alío commenced rear Arau, and red-hot balls have been fired against the town. The Swifs, we know, do not embrace a cause, or adopt a principle, without long and deep deliberation. Their refiftance, it may therefore be expected, will be unhappily protracted, and the refult most fanguinary. There can be no doubt, however, but that the French troops will fucceed in establishing the new Conftitution by their ufual argument-the point of the bayonet. To those who confider the former ftate of that country, which, placed in the centre of polished Europe, was at peace with all the world for upwards of 200 years-which was at Once the least ambitious and most harmless of all Powers-and which, with the flightest corruption of manners, united one of the beft adminiftrations both in theory and practice-its prefent wretched fituation must be the fuhject of great and fincere fympathy. The French Revolution has been the origin of all its misfortunes; and, until the inhabitants recover the old Federative Constitution under which they have fo long flourished, they must continue diffatisfied and diftra&ted *. The newly-conftituted Republic of e Valais was inftalled with much pomp on the 5th inft. The people were gratified on this occafion by a proceffion, a Te. Deum, fire-works, and illuminations; and the new Valaifan Government is affured, that the three furrounding Republics (French, Helvetic, and Italian) will affure the happiness and independence of the Valais. HOLLAND, &c. The property of the ci-devant Stadtholder in the Belgic provinces has been valued at from 5 to teo,oco florins. The property which he pofieties in the Batavian Republic amounts to about8,000,000 flerius, independently of the revenues attached to the office of Herediary Stadtholder. *A fufpenfion of arms has fince taken place between the fmall Cantons and the Helvetis Government; and hofbilities are no au re comerce until after a notice of three days on each fide. 5 It is reported at the Hague, that a Definitive Treaty of Alliance will shortly take place between France, Pruffia, and Ruffia. The journey of the First Conful to Belgium is fpoken of as an event which will certainly take place. He will go, it is flated, by Strafburgh to Mentz, and from thence along the Rhine, and return by Bruffels. In the course of this journey, it is again faid, that he will have an interview with the King of Pruffia at Duffeldorff, or fome other town on the banks of the Rhine. His Pruffian Majefly will even, it is faid, crofs the Rhine, to pay a visit to the Chief Conful. GERMANY. As may have been expected, the great question of the Indemnities is rapidly haf tening to a clofe. The Deputation of the Empire has agreed to what is called a Conclufum generale; by which they adopt the plan laid down by the French and Ruffian Governments, referving only the right of making fuch modifications as fhall be framed by the Deputation, and admitted by thole two Powers. The number of the Deputies at first were equal; but the Minister of Saxony having joined with those of Brandenburgh, Bavaria, Wirtemberg, and Heffe, the balance was turned for the affirmative. Nothing now remains to the Emperor of Germany but to lend his re Ju&tant affent to this decree, though it an nihilates in fact the Conftitution of the Empire. A difpute is ftated to have arifen between the Pruffian Authorities in Lower Saxony and the Regency of Hanover. The former, having taken poffetlion of the Chapter of Eichsfeld, in the Hanoverian borough of Nerten, placed on the wall the Pruffian eagle. The Hanoverian Go vernment, on being informed of the cir cumftance, ordered the Pruffian eagle to be taken down, and replaced by the Initials of his Britannic Majefty. The Pruf fian Commiffaries have protefted agai this conduct of the Regency of Hanover. The inhabitants of Muefter feem to be prejudiced against the Fruffian Govern ment. Everywhere-there is re-action, as far as circumftances will permit. Offen do we find the Prufi n eagles torn down or infulted.
