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. The new ambassador from Russia, Prince Riovakjn is expected here with in a fortnight. Count Rasumowski will continue to reside at Vienna, as a pri vate individual.
