1802.] 
Oglou, and another rebellious Pacha, of 
the name of Giorgi Ofman, are ravaging 
the neighbourhood of Adrianople. It 
is fujpected, and certainly not without 
reafon, that thefe fyfematic rebelli- 
ens are fomented by fome European 
Courts.” It is not unlikely, that they 
may have been the fubject of much of the 
royal conference at Memel. The plan of 
parution is probably already decided upon ; 
and it is much apprenende ed, that the al- 
lance of France is to be bought by a 
furrender of Egypt, to the Chief Contul. 
GERMANY. 
A. fcene of frantic violence took. place 
at Munich, about the beginning of June, 
Some of the tunvuitucus {cenes, uiual on 
the pilgrimage, which ufed to be annually 
exhibited, having been attempted to be 
fupprefied by the magiitrates, the jour- 
neymei employ ed on thefe cecafions made 
a riot; but, by the, cxertions of the mili- 
tary, esi. was reftored. 
Authentic intelligence has been re- 
ceived, by way of Holland, about the 
middle of July, that the elector of May- 
ence, is to have Ratifbon for his ref- 
dence. He will alfo have the bifhopric 
of that city, feveral {mall prelatures, and 
the Bailliage of Afchaffenburgh, befides 
a million and ahaif of florins, annuaily, 
from the other ftates of the empire. 
According to fome accounts, the go- 
vernment of Hanover has offered to ex- 
change the bifhopric of Olnaburgh for the 
biffiopric of Hildefheim, which has-been 
allotted as an indemnity to Pruffia. 
This propofition however, is attended 
with great difficulties. It is lhkewife af- 
ferted, that Pruffia will receive the Ab- 
bies of Werden and Herverden. 
HELVETIC REPUBLIC. 
For the acceptance of the new Helvetic 
conititution, there are in ali 240,000 
voices, and for 
The cantons of Uri, Schweitz, and Un- 
derwalden, have unanimoufly rejected it. 
WEST INDIES. 
Notwithftanding tie treaty between 
» General Leclerc and General Touffaint, 
the Negro Chief has been fent to France, 
as a prifoner, with allbis family. Gene- 
wal Leclerc, in a letter, dated May 12, 
fays, that Touffaint, ever fince his {ur- 
render, has been inceffantly confpiring to 
regain his influence in tne colony, when 
he was under the neceffity of having him 
atrvefted. How far this accufation is true, 
er whether it has only been a pretence to 
get ridof a man, whofe influence was fo 
great in the colony, we preiend not to fay. 
Leclere fpeaks ef his perfidy in ftrong 
State of Public Affairs in ‘July, 1802. 
its rejection 70,000. — 
79 
terms ; and announces that his departure 
caufed a general joy at the Cape. 
GREAT BRITAIN. 
We begin now to have an indiftin& 
glance of the features of the enfuing Par- 
liament from the returns, and have as yet 
no reaion to regret the change. Thatthe 
power of the Minifter will fufficiently pre- 
vail to enable him, be be who he may, 
to ;urfue whatever courfe he may decide 
upon, without fear of ferious oppofition, 
we ftill perceive very obvioufly ; but the 
Whig intereft has in general triumphed, 
when “expoled to acontelt; a faét which 
{peaks favourably as to the virtue of the 
people of England, and may be the means 
of roufing them once moré io a ftate of 
wetchfulnefs and aétivity, without which 
the nation muft eventually be ruined and 
enflaved. If the people, through the me- 
dium of their reprefentatives, do not be- 
come their own guaidians—do not reject 
COURT CANDIDATES, elect MEN OF 
THE PEOPLE, and keep a watchful eye 
over their own conftitutional rights, it is 
not to be expected that the Servants of the 
Ciown will do it for them ; and if doc- 
trines deftructive of the very effence of our 
free conftitution, becaufe dettru&tive of 
the firft principles of the reprefentative 
fyfiem, are fuifered to be maintained and 
boafted of by three of the Reprefentatives 
of the fir commercial city in the world—~ 
that the repreientative 1s not to be regard- 
ed as the delegate or inftrument of his con- 
flituents—and that he ought not, and in 
the inftance alluded to, will not undertake 
to fubfcribe to the general voice, but re- 
tain himfelf at liberty *to oppoie it 
whenever he chufes, how is it to be 
fuppoted, that thofe Reprefentatives will 
do more juitice to the people,than the peop e 
do tor themfelves? But tiiac Court Canai- 
dates fhould be chofen to reprefent Lon- 
don, is no fault of the Livery, becaufe the 
majority is averfe to them ; the difgrace 
appertains to the clafs of wealthy and in- 
dependent men who do not offer themfelves 
as candidates, and who, when they have 
offered have not adopted the determined 
and energetic mode which would always 
fecure their election. 
Such, howcver, has been the refiftance 
of the people to thofe COURT CANDI- 
DaTEs, who, while notorioufly the crea- 
tures of thé Crown} have had the effron- 
tery to offer themfelves as reprefentatives 
of the people, that in almof every cafe 
in which a refpectable candidate of popu 
lar ‘and independent principles, has offered 
himfelf, he has fucceeded ; and in the 
few cafes in which COURT CANDIDATES
