RASTADT, O&ober 21.
Aft: r th- deputies of the empire had the
day'b.t'jre yesterday formed the Qjnclusum,
to wait till the 23d for the answer of the
French plenipotentiaries to the last note,
without presenting another relative to the
situation of Ehrenbreitftein, they received
from the Pruflian minister the following note
00 the fubjett :
" The undersigned ministers plenipoten
tiary of his royal P ruffian majesty are inform
ed, that the imperial minister has found it
neceflary to address a peculiar note to the
French plenipotentiaries, on account of the
present diftrefTed state of the fortrefs of Eh
renbreitftein ; that no fatisfattory answer
has yet been returned by the French ministers
011 this head, and that the illustrious depu
tation of the empire has again taken this
fubjedl into consideration. The undersigned
are convinced, that the illustrious deputies
of the empire, sensible of the great impor
tance of the preservation of this post, hith
erto defended in so honorable a manner, un
til the end of the negociations will, in con
cert with the imperial plenipotentiary, re
new their remonstrances with the French
ministers in a manner fufficiently energetic
and impressive, to bring them on this head
to the fame just and equitable sentiments as
they have lately evinced in regard to other
fabjefts, which they have the morereafon to
hope, as the demolition of Ehienbrietftein
is alieady eventually agreed upon. Until
the time, however, that this important fa
crifice for the restoration of peace and tran
quility is to be made, the preservation of
this post is too important for the fafety, es
pecially of that part of the German empire
which is the peculiar objetl of his majesty's
indefatigable care and attention, not to in
duce the undersigned ministers to the illustri
ous deputation of the empire, that it is their
earnest wish to fee its meritorious exertions
on this head soon crow red With a fatisfafto
ry and fuccefsful issue.

We understand that another energetic
note has been presented to the French mi
nister* by the Pruflian embafly, on the new
limit on the Lower Rhine and the Isle of
Bu<!erich, demanding, that the former should
themselves fend a report to their government
on these fubje&s. It is rumoured, that th«
French plenipotentiaries have complied with
thedemand, & that they have alfotranfmitted
the last German note to the directory, the
answer to which is therefore not likely soon
to make its appearance.
Count Goertz has ordered by
his court to declare, that the king his ma
iler, would never consent to the lead altera
tion being made in the north of Germany,
that is to fay, within the line of demarca
tion.
Oaober 23.
The following is the answer of the French
minister to the note of the Pruflian minister,
of the date of the 19th Oftober, relative to
the boundary on the lower Rhine.
" The undersigned ministers ofthe French
Republic have received the note of the Pruf
lian plenipotentiaries of the date of the 19th
Oflober. They had transmitted with the
utmost ilifpatch to their goverßment, the
not? received from the Pruflian legation on
the second of July, relative to'thefame ob
jeft. They communicated the answer they
received, stating that the French govern
ment found it impoflible to accede to the
wi(h of his Pruflian majesty : the undersign
ed cannot therefore undertake to transmit to
the direftory demands relative to which it
hasexpreffed itfelf so explicitly in the nega
tive ; wherefore they must consider this ob
jeft as determined. His Pruflian majesty
and the ministers plenipotentiaries are too
just, to find any thing in the application of
an acknowledged principle, to which the
republic has made so great facrifices,that can
weaken the good underftandiug or friendly
relations, the maintainance of which bet
ween the two ilates, the direftory has so
much at heart—The ministers plenipotenti
ary of the French republic express with
pleasure their high consideration for the
ministers plenipotentiary of his Pruffinn ma
jtfty.

As the situation of Ehrenbreitftein be
comes of serous importance and the French
ministers have as yet returned no answer to
the representations made on that fubjedl
in the last German note, the deputation, in
their fitting of the 23d of O&ober, drew up
a new, circumstantial and ancient memorial
to the French legation, relative to the provi
sioning of Ehrenbreitftein- The Austrian
plenipotentiary immediately traafmitted
this note to the French legation.
LINDAU, OA. 20.
It is generally repnrted here, that the
Austrian troops on the 18th took poficfiion
of Chur, and are advancing still farther in
to the Territory of the Grifons. It is as
yet uncertain whether the French have
inarched towards Chur. It is said they have
retired without firing a shot. On the other
hand a strong force is colle&ing near Schaff
haufen All the Austrian troops in our
neighbourhood broke up yesterday at noon,
and set out on a forced march.

The French yesterday entered the Coon

COMMUNICA TIONS.
A very extraordinary remark occurs in the
concluding paragraph of Mr. Gerry's com
munication to the Secretary of State, dated
Nantafket Road. " If," fays he. " the na
tional pulse beats high for war," and then
goes on with a fervent prayer that i" the
event his countrymen may be crowned with
success. This if, like many other monyfyl
lables, is a wicked little inftruinent, that,
with a point fharpasa wasp's, mufl sting the
honest pride of every American. Did Mr.
Gerry, who thinks the Direftory and their
journeyman, Talleyrand, were so fin cere in
their wishes for peace, also think that his
countrymen were so very ripe for wat as to
plunge into it unneceflarily, or upon frivolous
pretexts ?—Oh patriotism, how vilely thou
art abused!
To increase the power of a good man, is
at all times the surest means of increasing his
usefulness : and to fay that a good man can
possess too much power is a foleeifm in our
language—lt is like giving more hands to
the human body, where two are incompetent
to the uses of nature. It is in faft, creat
ing entirely new organs, by which extraor
dinary services are performed. This being
the cafe, (and the principle is daily demon
ft rated in the domestic exercises of every man)
what are we to think of those men, who are
for nailing down the powers of the good and
virtuous men ot our country, to fpecific ob
jects ? Who fay to our government, " if
you can't preserve your honor this way, you
shan't have recourse to any other." " If our
enemies will persist in their nefarious prac
tices, against all that we have urged, you
must not adopt any other course, however
much adapted it may be to punish or reclaim
them ?"
Yesterday afternoon, the body of the late
Mr. Tazewell, was interred in the burial
ground of Christ Church. The pall was
supported by fix Senators, of which the
Vice-President was one ; and attended by
both houses of Congress, their Chaplains, &c.
by the Senate and House of Representatives
of this State, together with the principal
officers of the government.
A letter is received from captain Bain
bridge late of the armed schooner Retalia
tion, dated the 28th of November, on board
a French frigate at Guadaloupe, mentioning
that the Americans were generally confined
in prison there, but that he was on board
the frigate by the influence of the captain.
The appeal from the Legislature of Vir
ginia, to the people of that state, given in
the preceding page, is one of those artful and
invidious performances which designing men
use to awaken the paflions, and to call into
operation the prejudices of the mind, with
out reaching the reason and understanding.
The usual grounds of oppolition are repeat
ed : and in order to add fnel to the flame, a
hue and cry is commenced, thatthe destruc
tion of religious liberty is also aimed at.
These men knowing with what furious and
fatal madness, bigots and fanatics of all
denominations contend for their religious
liberty, have lugged into their address, this
topic, which, of all others, is most remote
from the alien and sedition laws !—But their
cause is desperate, and like drowning men
grasping at flraws, they idly ransack the hu
man heart to discover pallions, prejudices,
follies, and weaknefles the most obnoxious
to violent impressions,—and the most easy to
be exasperated.
