The confequence of this prize has 1 eenstbd at Bourdeauz a very lively fenfation. Its cur is valued at one million eight hundred thou fend liens. On the 3d, in the evening, the battery at Calais bred on two flips that attempted to enter the har bour. The miitake was, however, form dilcovered ; and the thips, one a Swede, and the other a Dane, received pilots on board, and anchored fafely in the Road. hefe Sips had fuffered a great deal in their fails an d gging, and bad three men killed and four wounded. — Workmen are now pulling down the Theatre Fey dean, becaufe the Emperor ordeted a new (beet to be made between the area Feydeau -and the fireet Vivienne, where a new exchange, furpafliog in exteot and beauty, both the exchanges of London and of Amaerdam, will be conftru&ed.
