FRANCE. PARIS, 21 VENDEMIAIRE, OCTOBER z 3. Letters from Lyons Rate, that during the re praentation of the Marriage of Figaro, on the 6th mil. a horrible attempt was made at the Theatre, but fortunately the confequences were not fo fe rious as might have been expelled.

The alarm was general, and the perform ance did not go on. The perpetrator of this crime has not yet been difcovered, but the Police arc taking every means to find him out.

Indeed the Mositaw teems to make a point of not noticing thofe events which have attraded fnch attention throughout Europe. Letters, however, have been received in Town by Gentlemen conneited with the Cantons, which although hient with refpet to the proceedings of the Canton of Schweitz, to which every thing is referred, - contain the important information, that the proclamation of BONAPARTS had no fooner been promulgated in the Pays de Vaud, thin the whole of the army (called Helvetic) and in the pay of the exploded Government, began to dif band themfelves, declaring thlt they would not fight againft their own countrymen, at the infolent diaation of a foreign Power. The intelligence of this event has been written from fo many quar ters, and with fuch circumftances of authenticity, that there is every reafon to hope it is true. Our Readers would obferve by the extra&s from the Mails, given on Saturday, that time changes had taken place in the Diplomatic arrangements at the Court of St. Peterlburgh. The Hamburgh Mail of this day has brought us very particular de tails refpeaing thefe changes, which feem ex tremely important, and will, we hope, lead to the adoption of a new fy Rem of politics on.the part of the Emperor ALI3CASDER. Indeed, from fome of the letters it appears that the formation of a New Miniftry, for fuch it adually is, has arifen in confequence of a change of views refpe4ling the true interells of Ruffia, which have aitually been endangered by the countenance given to French projeas, the EMPEROR having opened his eyes to the dignity of his own charaCter and the interells of Europe in general. The change in adminiftration has been publicly announced, and diffufed a general joy among all ranks—a eircutnftance that malt have fome weight with the Em r Emote, and confirm him more, and more in the propriety of fol lowing up his new fyftem with firnrnefs... In a Court like his, it is difficult to rife above the influence of favourites, intriguers, and partizans. We believe that he means extremely well ; but, in order to execute his own wifhes, to maintain his own honour, and to fecure a permanent reputa tion, he mutt sat with vigour and &Mon. A MonarChy generally called abfolute is frequently that in which the Monarch does the leafl. Power is delegated to miniogs, who abufe their :-~--- :. 7ww- - qm.l "`-~~~ confidence, and holey ,hint hao , the moll fatal iniaftnts. If it be true that fo favour* a change has taken place, Minifters furely will avail themfelves of it. The Emperor ALUANDIZ MA fee that he ought to have infifted on the reftoration of the King of SARDINIA. He mutt have been difgufted to fee Piedmont foimally united to France: morti fied and difgufted with the condu& of France in that inftance, be mutt fee that France ought to be refifted in the pretenfion of conquering Swit zerland—at all events that other Powers ought not to permit the ufurped pretention of France ezclufively, and without confulting other powers, to fettle Switzerland. Ruifia &mild have been confulted there as well as upon the Indemnities. In every way therefore ALIMANDLIL I. Mita fee that he has not been confulted, but made the dupe of BONA/fARTI.I According to the lateß advice: from Vienna, of the agth ult. intelligence is Paid to have been re ceived there from St. Peterfburgh, that the EM PEROR of Russi♦ begins to acknowledge the jail pretenfions of the EMPEROR of GERMANY with re gard to the bufinefs of the indemnities; and Count Su RAU, the Auftrian Minikr, is now treated with a degree of favour and dißinaion which he never before experienced. His Majefty has folicited the Court of Vienna for the farther flay of that Mi• sifter at the head of the Auftrian Embaffy, for which purpofe orders have been fent to that No• bleman by a courier to continue. Baron d'OrTaDa, his Britannic Mikity's Mi nifler Plenipotentiary, in his quality of ELECTOR of HANOVER, has declared to the DireEtorial Mi nifter of MINTZ, " that he had not been autho rized to give any declaration, in the name of the King his mafter, with regard to the hereditary occupation of the Bifhopric of Ofnaburgh, the ceflion of the Bailiwick of Wildthaufen, the rc, nunciation of the county of Sayne, Altenkirchen, and his Majefty's rights and poffeffions in the Im. perial cities of Hamburgh and Bremen ; but that he would apply to his Court for inftrutftions with regard to thefe demands." Amin thefe difcuffions of peace or war, the Funds continue to exhibit proofs of confiderable alarm, We cannot believe it poffible that Mini fters have fent to France a bare remonftrance againft the proceedings of the French in Switzer land. Any remonftrance mutt be joint, and fup ported with a menacing force. It is believed that Mr. Moots has gone to Vienna. 'We fhould not be furprized if he had gone to Peteriburgh. It would be a great ftroke to detach Ruffia from France. The EMPEROR of GERMasY mutt from neceflity adhere to us, as we from interett mutt fhpport him. He is our natural Ally, and !Mould always be fupported. Sr. PETERIIDUROM, SEPTRIIIIR 24.—The great changes that were expelled have now taken place. The whole adminiftration of affairs has received as it were a new form ; and the beneficial conic quences of the new organifation' are fo evident, that the joy of the public is univerial. The place of Procurator-General, in which was concentred the whole internal adminiftration of the Empire is abolifited ; and every branch has its proper Mi nifter, who is refponfible for all the ads of his Department. By there means all bufinefs is much funplified, whereas before it was difficult to know to whom to apply. The Senate is alfo regulated in another manner.
