LATE FOREIGN NEWS.
IX)NDON August 21.
We received, this morning, Paris pa
pers to ifie 14th, Dutch to the IBih,and
The Hamburgh Corrca/iondenten of the
12th instant, from which we have made
copious extracts. The contents of the
Paris Papers are of great importance.'
The Momteur has at length broke si
lence upon the subje ct of the negotia
tion. After stating that the negotiation
had been brought almost to maturity,
and that, according to report, peace it
self was on the point of being signed, it
now admits, that “ the indisposition of
Mr. Fox. and his absence from Coun
cil, have rendered every thing uncer
tain, and replunged these important in
terests in tit: labyrinth of diplomatic
chicane, in casuistry, and abstract pro
positions.’' The hopes of peace have
been lbr some time, declining in this
country, ancl if this paragraph in the of
ficial Paper of Lite French Government
stood alone, it would fully justify the
change that has taken place in the pub
lic mind. But those who are in the hab
it of observing the mode in which that
Gazette is conducted, will find farther
cause to fear that the paragraph is on
ly the preface to a formal declaration of
the failure cf the negociution—The
conductors of the Monileur arc excel
lent artists, and know how to avail
themselves of all the advantages of
light and shade, and of the t fleet to be
• produced by their contrast. Whenev
er they announce rfews likdy.lo depress j
the spirits of the people they study to!
accompany it with something cheering!
and consol ato i*y* The battle of Aboukir,
and the rictoriesof Bonaparte, in Egypt,
wer? given in the .same official paper,
and the*,ame principle has b-en pursu
ed down to the present moment.—Ac
cordingly we find tliis discouraging ac
count ot the state of the negotiation,
prefaced by a gasconading boast, that all
the powers of the Continent have, at
length, bowed the neck to Bonaparte,
and now submit, patiently, to his will:
and pleasure. The Emperor of Ger
many, who is, in future, to be content I
with the title of Emperor of Austria, we j
are told, has given ins concurrence to !
the Confederation of the Rhine, and ac-j
know lodged brother Joseph King of Na- j
pics- That Intruder is also acknowl
edged by Primin', who has further recog
nized brother Louis, King of Holland,
and appointed Ministers to these two
respective Courts. We are also told,
that the Treaty signed by D’Oubril, at
Paris, was to be ratified 'at St. Peters
burg!! on the 15th. Thus the Empe
ror of Russia is not to cliuse his own
time ; the very day is prescribed for him, I
and that the annirversary of the birth- 1
day of Napoleon. Surely all this good
fortune must reconcile the people of
France to eternal war with England, j
The news f ont South ol Italy, in par
ticular, is extremriy interesting. The :
report of an engagement in Calabria be- ■
tween the British and French, we have
reason to think is well founded, and that
it iias been attended with disasters to.
to the enemy, equal to what hten men
tioned. It is now admitted that the J
British, to the number of twelve thou
sand, according to one account, are
posted in the neighborhood of the B iy
of St. Euphemia, were they have been
joined by the insurgents. One of the
French Generals (Verdier,) who was
said to have defeated the British within
a league ot’Cozenza, it appears, has fal
len back to Cassano, near fifty miles
from the former place, or the English'
position. Regnier, the other General,
preserves also* a respectful distance,:
having betaken himself, with his divi
sion, to Catanz iro, on the Eastern side of
Peninsula, and of the mountains which !
intersect ulterior Calabria, from North
to South.
Bonaparte has adopted a most elLc-;
tual mode of compelling the minor !
Princes of Germany to claim the bene-:
fit of being admitted into his League j
None but those who adhere to it, are to'
enjoy the least authority in their respec
tive territories. The Pope formerly
exercised the power of absolving sub
jects from their allegiance. Bonaparte j
, produces anarchy and confusion in a ;
different mode, but one equally cflectu-;
ai. lie divests the sovereign of his pow-;
er.
The Dutch and Hamburgh papers i
are of the sime complexion as tnose j
previously received. They are at vari- '
ance with the Paris Journals, and re-!
present the French troops as still advan-'
into Germany. i
Shortly after Mr. Pegler landed at j
Deal, a report became current there, j
that ihe Earl of Lauderdale hud got all j
• his baggage packed up, and was on ike 1
road to Boulogne, proceeding on his j
way to Engl&nd, when the Frcm I> Min- i
inter Talleyrand sent a special Messen- :
ger after his Lordship, to desire kim to
return back to Paris. It will be seen,
from the complexion of the article in
the AToniteur that the rumour does not
appear undeserving of some share of
credit.
We stated, on Monday se’nnight that
Portugal was threatened by some new
danger, and that the Prince Regent was
preparing to leave his country, and set
tle in the Brazils. It is said to be the
fixed determination of Bonaparte to dis
n tern her the Spanish Monarchy, and to
annihilate that of Portugal*, in favor of!
the profligate Prince of Peace—-That j
the Provinces of Biscay, Navarre, Cata- •
alonia, and one half of Arragon, are \o'
be consolidated :,s a Kingdom for that!
infamous betrayer and enslaver of his j
(Country ; and that Portugal is held out j
to the miserable instrument of the
French Despot, the King of Spain, as a
desirable compensation for his atitient
dona ains!
lint it will readily be believed, that:
the abandonment and destruction of our
oldesLand best Ally will not be submit
ted to. We must therefore conclude,
that Lari St. Vincent an l General Sim
coe arc dispatched to that country, and
will be followed by our fleets and armies
to oppose, to tiie uttermost, this infa
mous project.
' While affaire yet hang in painful sus
! pense between this country and France,
we are happy to be able to announce,
that Lords Holland Sc Aucklauffare na
med Plenipotentiaries to Treat and
! Sign upon the Subject of the Difficulties ;
j which have arisen between the. United j
j States of America and Great Britain, •
with Mi ssrs. Pinckney and Monroe, ap- j
pointed for the same purposes by Con
gress.
VIENNA, August 2.
Resignation of the high office of Emperor
of Germany, by Frances, Emperor of
Austria . j
“ We Frances Second, W c.—Since
the peace of PreSburg, all our attention
: and all our care have been employed to
fulfil, with scrupulous fidelity, all the
I engagements contracted by that treaty, j
1 to preserve to our subjects the happi
; ness of peace, to consolidate every j
! where the amicable relations happily ,
ie-established waiting to discover wlue- ‘
ther the changes caused by the peace, |
would permit us to perform our* im
portant duties, as chief of the German
Empire conformably to the capitulation
of election.
“ The consequences, however, which
! ensued from some articles of the Trea
ty of Presburgh, immediately after its i
publication, and which still exist, and
those events generally known, which s
; have since taken place in the German
ic Empire, have convinced us, that it
will be impossible, under these circum
stances, to continue the obligations con
tracted by the capitulation of election,
and even, it, in reflecting on their po
litical relations, it were possible to
imagine a change of affairs, the con
vention of the 12th July signed at Par
is, and ratified by the contracting par
ties, relative to an entire seperation of
several considerable states of the Em
pire, and their peculiar .confederation,
has entirely destroyed every such hope.
“ Being thus convinced of the im
possibility of being any longer enabled
to fulfil, the duties ot our imperial func
tions, we owe it to our principles and
to our duty, to renounce a crown which
was only valuable in our eyes, whilst
we were able to enjoy the confidence of
the Electors, Princes, and other states
of the Germanic Empire, and to per
form the duties which were imposed
upon us. We declare, therefore, by
these presents, that we, considering as
dissolved the ties which have hitherto
attached usto the States oflhe Germanic
Empire ; that we, considering as ex
tinguished by the confederation of the
; States of the Rhine, the charge in chief
of the Empire ; and that we, consider
! ing ourselves thus acquitted of all our
duties towards the Germanic Empire,
do resign the Imperial. Crown and the
Imperial Government. We absolve at
, the same time, the Electors, Princes,
| and Slates, and all that belong to the
! Empire, particularly the Members of
i the Supreme Tribunal and other Ma
; gistrates of the Empire, from those <iu
i des by which they were united to us as
I the legal chief of the empire, according
i to the constitution.
! “We also absolve all our German
• Provinces and states of the empire from
| their reciprocal duties towards the Ger
j manic empire, and we desire, in incor
: poruting. them with our Austrian slates,
; as Emperor of Austria, and in preserv
| ing them in those amicable relations
! subsisting with the neighboring pow
| ers and states, that they should attain
that height of prosperity and happi
ness, which is the end of all our de
sires, and the object of our dearest
wishes.
“ Done at our residence, under the
Imperial Seal.
“ FRANCIS.’*
“ Vienna, the 6th Aug- 1806.
This is followed by the following Ad
dress in the subsequent Moniteur :
August 8.
“ We Francis Second, &c. in abdi
cating the Imperial Government of the
empire, we, considering it as the last!
effort of our care, and as an absolute j
1 duty, do express thus publicly a desire !
I equally reasonable and just, that the
I persons who have hitherto been em
| ployed in the administration ol justice,
i and in diplomatic and other affairs, for
: the good of the whole empire, and for
| the service of the chief of the empire,
should be suitably provided for.
“ The care which all the states of
the empire took of those persons who
lost their.places by the affair of the in
demnity in 1803, induces us to hope
that the same sentiments of justice will
be extended to those individuals who
have hitherto been employed in the
general service, who have been chosen
in all parts of the Germanic empire,
and many of whom have quitted other
profitable places, looking forward to an
honorable' subsistence for life, & which
should not be wanting to them on ac
count of their fidelity, and the integrity
and capacity with which they have exe
cuted their functions.
“ We have, therefore, taken the re
: solution of preserving to those of our
j imperial servants, who have hitherto
; drawn their salaries from our chamber,
! the same appointments, reserving to
ourselves to place them in employments
in the service of our hereditary states,
and we hope, with so much the more
confidence, that the Electors, Princes,
and States will provide for the imperial
chamber of justice of the empire, and
j the chancellerie of the chamber of jus
tice, by .charging themselves voluntari
ly with this expence, as it will be tri
fling in amount, and will diminish eve
, r y year.
I “As to the Chancellerie of the Au
lic council of the empire, the funds des
| tined for its support vwdl be employed
! to .provide for the wants of those indi
• viduals who have hitherto drawn from
j thence their salaries, this will serve them
until other measures may be taken.
“ Done in our Capital and residence
of Vienna, under our Imperial
Seal, the 6th of August, 1806.
“ FRANCIS.”
The day before yesterday, a great
; Council of State was held here, at which
his Majesty the emperor presided.
