And as the best means to confolidate the Germanic Body is to place in the first college the Princes of the greatest influence of the Empire, it is propofed that the electoral title fhould be granted to the Margrave of Baden, to the Duke of Wirtemberg, and to the Landgrave of Heffe-Caffel. Moreover, as the King of ENGLAND, in his quality of Elector of Hanover, has railed his pretenfions to Hildesheim, Corwey, and Hoexeter, and it would be of intereft that he should defilt from his pretenfions, it is propofed that the Bishopric of Ofnaburgh, which now belongs alternately to the Electoral Houfe of Brunt. wick, fhould devolve to him in perpetuity upon the following conditions:First, that the King of England, Elector of Hanover, fhall renounce all his rights and pretensions to Hildesheim, Corwey, ard Hoexeter.

The propofition made by the underfigned with respect to the regulation of indemnities, lead him to state here feveral general confiderations which he thinks ought to fix the attention of the Diet. The principal are, that the Princes of Naffau-Ufingen, Naflau Weilbourg, Salm Salm, Salm Kerbourg, Linange, Aremberg, thall be introduced into the College of Princes, and that the College of Cities fhould be compofed of the free and imperial cities of Lubeck, Hamburg, Bremen, Wetzlar, Frankfort, Nuremberg, Augsbourg, and Ratisbon.

In this report the Minifter adverts to the fituation of affairs previously to the late differences with the African powers: he laments that the North of Africa fhould be governed by men totally ignorant of the public law of Europe, who acknowledge no code but that dictated by their own private interefts. He states, that after the great fucceffes of Bonaparte in Europe, a peace was determined upon between Algiers and France, but its fignature was prevented by a fresh interference of the Porte: it was however figned on the 2d of December. The causes which produced a rupture of this treaty are then enumerated after which the Minifter gives an official account of the proceedings of the French fquadron. 66 com.

By accounts from Munfter, it appears that the inhabitants are uncommonly prejudiced against the Pruffian Government. Its colours are repeatedly torn down, and treated with every mark of indignity. The refpectable part of the inhabitants never mix with the Officers, but absent thenfelves from every place to which the latter refort.

He made a full confession, acknowledged himself guilty, and begged that the confinement to which he had been subjected fince the month of October laft, may be confidered a fufficient punishment. Beaumont, one of his accomplices, has also confessed ; no one but M.

Prince Bafilius Gortfchakoff has been posted on the Exchange at Hamburgh, for circulating faife bills of exchange. Fifteen hundred Poles, under the guidance of Kofciufko, are stated to be on the eve of leaving their country, for the purpose of forming a colony on the banks of the Susquehanna, in the ftate of New York. The Emperor of Ruffia, in order to encourage the commercial views of the Ruffian Company trading to America, has ordered two fhips to be fitted out for a voyage of circumnavigation. They are to fail from Petersburgh with a cargo of provifions, anchors, cables, rigging, &c. to proceed round the fouthern extremity of America, across the South Sea, to N. W.

The French Miniiter General Lafnes having quitted Libon in an abrupt manner, his unexpected departure caufed great confternation in that city.

After receiving the above information, the Governor of New Providence armed a brig and fent out a floop of war in fearch of the pirate; in a few days they brought her in, and the pirates are now in irons. DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE. AUGUST 22. EARLY in the morning the party wall belonging to the houfe of Meffrs. Jarman and Atwood, fhoemakers, in Oxford-road, gave way and fell down into a vacant space, where two other houfes had lately been pulled down in order to be rebuilt. The wall in falling drew all the floors along with it, and all the furniture and goods have been buried in the ruins. No perfon was injured by the accident. SEPT. 1. Early in the morning, a dreadful fire broke out in the houfe of Mr. H. Davis, oilman, in Leadenhallfreet. On the first alarm, the watchmen belonging to the India houfe afforded affittance with the Company's engines, which prevented the extenfion of the fire; but a fufficient quantity of water could not be procured for two hours, when the conflagration had extended itself to Mr. Swift's, trunk-maker, Mr. Ward's, the Ship tavern, the Geneva warehouse, and the top part of Mr. Tinkler's premifes. The fury of the flames was fo great, that very little property could be faved. The premifcs above-mentioned, with the exception of Mr. Tinkler's, are entirely destroyed. During the fire, two Jew boys were detected in attempting to cut the leathern hose belonging to the East India Company's engines, when they were fecured and fent to the Compter. Some villains, alfo, during the progrefs of the flames, got into Mr. Tinkler's houfe, under the pretence of affording affiftance; they fastened the door and began to plunder the house, when the door was forced by fome people without, who fufpected their intentions, and they were all taken and fent to the Comp ter. A very extraordinary robbery was effected last week in the parish of St. Andrew's, Holborn. A young wo man, genteelly dreffed, went to the overfeers of the workhoufe, and defired to know whether they could pro. vide a wet nurse for a lady of rank and fortune. They informed her there was a young woman who had juft lain-in of a fine healthy child. It was fhewn her; the praifed its beauty, and faid fhe would inform the lady, and call again. She returned in the evening, again kiffed and praised the child, and requested permiffion to take it to fhew the lady, who was waiting near the place in her carriage. The child was intrufted to her care, but she never afterwards made her appearance with it. Every fearch was made, but without effect. The mother has been in a state of diftration ever fince. A few days ago,Mr. Judd, a refpectable attorney, of Old-street-road, was on a vifit to a friend in Lincolnshire, whofe houfe being attacked in the night by fome thieves, the man-fervant took a loaded piece and went down ftairs, followed by Mr. R. though unperceived by him; when the fervant, (fuppofing him to be one of the villains) fired, and wounded him fo fhockingly, that he expired two hours after.
