WARSAW.T'dy 27- *• firi Vnh the imperious injuneftions of Sievers, the Ruffian envoy, the treaty between Ruflia and Poland was iigned on the 22d. Ihe artich s were denied even the formal.fy of difeuifion, and the pride of a haughty diet was not even lowered by gentle degrees. Sievers had altered a few terms, to make the ratification of fiavery as pre cile as poilible, and thus the facrifice is conlummateti ; we mean that part of the hecatomb claimed by the court of Ruflia. Bucholtz, the Prussian envoy, has now in turn fubrnitted the demands of his court to the fame patient acquies cence. He called the attention of the diet by a brief note, dated July 20, and reminds them, that they furnifh a de-‘ legation, with theneceflary powers to conclude a treaty with the king his maker, upon the stipulations of the allied courts. Conferences are now holding upon this partition ; and if the Rullian ini* nifter supports the claim of his brother invader, there can be but little doubt of his success. There can be no hope that Poland will be able to throw off ; these usurpations, but through the flueftuaririg instability of politics, and the enemies that spring uplo luddenly in courts. The diet, indeed, have made null their extorted consent to these op preflions, bv an appeal, directed to that “ Powerful G.d, who, to Jlnftjujlice, determines upon ihiufiions of individuals of the universe, and who fees the opprejjt n under which Polandi l compelled l o groan.” VIENNATAugnft 6. Anfiver of the emperor to the felicitations of the king of Poland.

Since the allied armies forced the French to abandon Caesar’s camp, and that of Bourlon, the operations have been entirely changed ; and instead of advancing farther into Trance, the allies have separated their armies, to take pofleffion, each on theh own part, of fome frontier town. Ihe Pruf&cns, comtrfanded by general de KnoiPlfdorfF, are to join their own main army ; and will be replaced on this tide by the troops of the empire, which ha'e served at the siege of Mentz, the Saxons a.one excepted, who will remain with the Prulfiau army, I’he duke of York, with the Eng lifh, Hanoverian, and FfeJji.ni, army, advanced from Bourlon by Margin enhes, Orchies, and Menin, into Flanders; to undertake the liege of Dunkirk : Maubeuge and Qtiefnoy appeared to be relerved for the future i operations of the imperia ills Blit the French have an adv mtageous polition j in the torelt of Mormal, upon the left 1 border of the Sombre, between Quel . r.oy and Maubeuge, and it is neceliary to dislodge them, be ore undertaking the siege of either of these places General Kellerman, before his re treat from Caesar’s camp, had thrown into it a large body of troops. He j had even allured the convention that his polition was impregnable. Jt was therefore resolved to drive thehi from this poll:.’ The head quarters of prince de Cobourg are at Bermerain, near El cai'lon,at a final! difiance from thence. The siege o Maubege cannot be un dertaken, till the entrenched camp which covers it has been forced. AUGUS I 30. The ulterior plan of the present campaign unfolds itlelf in a manner totally different from what was ex-* pefted after the capture of the camp of-Caefar. The Prulfians leave the combined army, in order to lerve with the Saxons, under the immediate orders of their monarch, the duke of Brunswick, and count Kuikreuth.— This army is by fome iuppofed to be on the point of entering Lorrain, and in the opinion of oth .rs'it is deftiued to approach Alsace, and to support the movements of gener and Wurmfer. .*■ Prince Cobourg will employ the rell of tire campaign in reducing fom. flrong places, which are the key to, France on the fide of Picardy. Qj t noy, fitiiated between Valerichomes and Maubege, will ensure to us the pofTeffion of the one, and facilitate the capture of the other.

As the grand French army flill occupies the lame central polition behind Lifie, at a small distance from Donai, covered by the Scarp, the prince of Cobodrg has strengthened his part of the line of cotnmun'cati ns with a corps under the orders of ge neral Beaulieu, who is replaced near Charleroy by general Setkerdorf.

All private lettefragree in faying, thit a great fermentation prevails a in Brabant, and particularly at Brussels. T hey accuse Dumcurier 0* it, and ad their endeavours so secure his person have been useless; What is certain, is, that the parties which divided that country before France had carried her arms and liberty into it, preparing to create new dii turbances. The emperor finds on all tides very h rtt’ de remonftran es to his orders. He has at length had recourle to force ; a corps of troops of the em pire has hte'y formed the gifrifon of Unifieds, an.! bavouets will nrevent all pretentions, or lerve to answer them. 1 NATIONAL CONVENTION.
