According to the meafure made yeflerday at the Pont de la Tournelle, the river was 20 feet one inch higher than the loweft water of the year 1719. The day before yefterday it was 20 feet three inches higher. The Archbifhop of Milan arrived at Turin on the 27th ult. This Prelate, upwards of 8o years of agc, is going to Lyons. Our Journals fay to day, that General Moasau did not give a grand dinner on the 3d, as has been reporte d The mean price of cora throughout France during the month of Vendemiaire, has been 2 f. 91 cents. the myriagramme. Among the details we received from Marfeilles relative to the inundations experienced in part of the Southern departments, the following remark able fait has been mentioned :—A child, whofe parents and abode are unknown, was found alive in its cradle, which floated with the innocent on the water. The innocence and weaknefs of this new Mofes had been refpefted by the elements, and we are ignorant how long the child had re.. l mained in that perilous fituation. The elegance of the cradle, as well as the clothes, feemed to I indicate that the child belt aged to a rich family. We avoid multiplying the recital of at:Hiding events caufed by the continual rains and hurri canes which have prevailed for there two months. We coiled here, however, fome traits which may make their dreadful effects in feveral parts of Eu rope known. We learn from Venice, that that city, after a terrible hurricane, was partly inundated. The tub-prefect of UZeS writes word, that the Rhone has made incalculable ravages ; it has car ried away entire farm houfes. The road to Paris had been cut off beyond Pont St. Efprit, fo that it is necetriary to go in a boat to get to it. The Ifle de la Bartelaife hat been cut in two, and the waters milled with filch rapidity, and rote fo high, that if it had not been for the Mayor of Ville N:iive les Avignon, who fent boats to take off the farmers, not one would have efcaped. In Holland the inundations have been more conGderable than was at Gra fuppofed ; the dykes have been much damaged, and fume broken; fe. veral villages have been inundated. All pollible maracureshave been adopted to flop the evil ; the inhaLitants labour with the greater} afliduity.— It is particularly in the environs of Zurick Zee that the fea has !nude the *greater} ravages ; if they had not been immediately remedied, the principal dykes would have been penetrated, and a part of Holland overflowed. When the laft letters were fent off the people were not altogether free from unc disci'. 23 1ft11411112.E, DEC. 14., Vera Confofide 53 fr. i 5 C.

In his letter to the Prefident, he lays, that the event% of war have deprived him of feveral articles which he had collated in Egypt, but that he (till expeas fome curious produaions, which he will lofe no time in communicating to the Inflitute. He further Bates, that he will tranf mit to it the obfervations which he collated, and which he is at prefent occupied in digeiting, upon the different claffes of the inhabitants of - Egypt, their manners, civilization, &c. General Mimi", it is reported in our papers, in evacuating Alexandria, fucceeded in preferving and conveying to France the different colleetions ' made in Egypt by the Members of the Lailime, and the Commiffion for the Arts. The monu ments which were regarded as public property, were the only articles which remained in our hands. General Mewow has likewife brought with him from Egypt a Civette, the animal which produces the mull:. He has prefented it to the Mufeum of Natural Hittory; and as it requires a warm cli mate, great pains are taken to preferve its life. FROM rsiE PARIS PAPERS. BOURDEMII, DE c.4.—The Echo, of Bonrdcanx, recites an extra& of a letter from the Cape, from a Coloniß of Port de Paix, in which he Pays, " St. Domingo is tranquil, the Cultivators work, Pro perty and Proprietors are refpeeted there. We have not yet had all the produce we would with, but the peace and tranquillity eflabliffied will not fail to realife the wither of all good Citizens.— Time and patience, there are the burthen of my long." Biter, Nov. v.—The (hips of war of the ex pedition were on the aElth at night on the point of getting tinder weigh. We cxpeded to fee them fail tbe neat morning, but the weather being ad verfe, they have been compelled to moor again. The weather his not yet ceafed to be unfavourable, and the fquadrcn is (till in the road. Two (hips that made part of it are difmantled, and are to be replaced by two others. A fortnight after the fail ing of the expedition two fhiOs of war and Tome light veffels will be difpatched to carry effeds that are expeded, and feveral paffengers who are not yet arrived. Yefterday morning the fky was (c -reme, and the cold pretty fbarp,-but the wind con tinued at North Weft, and confequently adverfe for the failing of the fqnadron. General Lac t r ac has on board the Ocean, where he is with his wife, an apartment very richly and elegantly adorned. ttsc. 1.: -When *we heard of the fig:;ature of the preliminaries, the (hops were full of merchan dist of all kinds. Several articles, Inch as nan , freeta, cotton s fitc. were of courk expea r ed to ex perienet s great fall ; but the St. Domingo type ,ditionints su general prevented the merchants from being . great lofers. In almoft all the (hops, and during the whose day, one mull wait one's turn ; his a continual influx of purchafers, 'Thole arti cles, upon which great lots was expeCted, are the rareft. Nankeens are not to be had. The night before left the wind came round to the Northward, and every one hurried on board in hopes that the fleet would fail at dap-break. but in the night the wind changed to South, accompa nied with rain. For the laft fortnight the fquadron has not had a fair wind for failing. A divifion of the Dutch fleet, and a French fleet under General LATOUCIit TREvIL4I, are to wait for our fquadron in a given latitude. It is 1 . 441 that GeneralL*roucws askiready gone thither. Mum's, Nov. 7.—The fpoufe of the preemp tive heir to the Crown has juft died here, at the age of 24 years and fix months. She was the daughter of LeoroLo, Grand Duke of Tufcany (he had been ill fome time. The Aide-de-Camp of General MURAT has brought orders to General SOLIGNAC evacuate. immediately, the territories of his Sicilian Majelly. The Republican troops are already on their march, part of them ;re to g . o .. by fea, and part by land. Roiss, Nov. 2l.—The HOLY FATHRR will take poffeCfion to-morrow of the Ecclefiallical States. It has been recommended to the people to avoid, on this occafion, all unneceffary, pomp and fhew,- Aacosta, Nov. 13.—The two frigates which were at anchor in our port have failed, as is fup poled, for Toulon. As we have no longer any French veffels here, Mon fi gneur, the Legate, has taken poifelfion of 1e port, and appointed a Com mandant. Hams', Dsc. g.—By a publication of the Ezc. cutive Power, dated the id of this month, it is enaCted, that the law prohibiting the importation of goods manufetured in England, iffued on the a3d of Otober 1798, and renewed the 7th of p ee. 1799, and Dec. 5, 'Soo, than continue in force till otherwife determined, and in any event till the end of the month of April iBo2. This meafure of Government, which was not expeifted after the laws paned by the Legiflative Body, in regard to the re-eftablifliment of the trade with England, has , greatly deranged the fpeculations of our mer• chants, and in particular thofe of fti tterdarn, who did molt bufinefs with •England before the war. The number of flips fitting out for India is fevers. They will let out before the end of the year for their deftination. The Afiatic Council has en gaged a great number of perfons for our colonies in the Wand of Java. BERLIN, Nov. s4.—Our Miniflry have tranf mittei a very thong note to Count STADION, rela tive to the differences betweenAuflria and Prufia. There is an idea of fending feveral regiments into Silefia, to form an army under General KAI.- KRIUTH. It is hoped, however, that the Miniflers appointed by the two Courts will enter into sego-' tiation upon the fubjea at the Congrefs. Viatima, Nov. 215.—1 t would appear, from a very ftrong reprefentation that has been lately ad dread by the Court of Berlin to ours, that the differences between them are about to affume a molt ferious afpeet. It is faid that reinforcements have been fent to the Pray; troops in Silefia,and that magazines are colleting in Bohemia. How ever, it is not expeted that recourfe can be had to hollilities, before the opening of the Congrefs at Amiens; it is there that all difficulties will be ar ranged. Our Court, which appears to make a common cattle with that of England, will follow the political views and intentions of that power; and Great Britain is unqueftionably inclined to recognize the Treaty of Luneville, efpecially in what applies to Germany. The Englifh Cabinet has already caufed it to be fignified to our Court, that it acknowledge; the King of Etruria. On the other hand, it has notir. fled to the late Archduke of Tufcany, that the French Government, notwithftanding all the re prefentations made by England, perfilled in ad hering molt peninacionfly to the letter of thole treaties which affigned to the Archduke his indem nities in Germany. This notification from the Court of London leaves no doubt for coojeeture, but that that Power has no inclination to interfere with the Treaty of Luneville, for the purpoft of procuring advantages to the Houle of Auftria: A new pro s& of indemnity has been confequently broached. By it the Venetian State, it would ap pear, will be affigned to the Archduke, and the Principalities of Saltzbourg, Mau, and others, which the Archduke was to have taken poffeflion of, will be united to the Außrian territoi y. Nov. aB.—Mr. PAGET, the Englifh Minifter, has notified to the Grand Duke of Fulcany t on the part of his Court, that notwithftanding its inter vention with the French Government, the latter perfifts in the ftipulation of the Treaty of Luneville, by which that Prince is to be indemnified in Ger. many. The Britifh Government had, it is faid, propofed to France the Venetian States as an in demnity to the Grand Duke, fo that the countries in Germany defined for that purpofe would have Fallen to Auftria. On the other hand, C. CHAN PAGN Y, we are allured, is charged to fupport at our Court the pretenfions of Pruffia in regard to the indemnities of the Staitholder • and, it is be lieved, that theft two objets will b e finally fettled only at Amiens . Les rite, Dsc. 2.—Tbe left Leipfic Fair was in terefling, not only to the Bookfelling bufinefs, but to other branches of Commerce alto. We may fay, that the Englifb bad made preparations for fending thither an inundation of goods, and for re gaining what they had loft by the fair of Fanckfort. Leipfic is, and always will be, the central point of the commerce of the North, both on account of its pofition, and the encouragement given by it to commerce, though the duties are , very heavy; for a bale, which at Frankfort would pay 8o cents, mull at Leipfic pay 48 franca. At the left Fair there were forty-fix merchants from London. Scarcely any of the German manufaaurers could End a fate, as the Eighth fold their goals at In low a rice they got poiliffson alto of the fate of the npddle cloths, for they bought up, uotwithliond inithe oppofition of the baton manufaaurers, all the woolibey could bad.

To analyfe daily the contents of the French Pa. pers would be a tedious repetition, and at the fame time a fruitlefs labour. The intelligenc e , however, received from time to time through this channel, deferves the attention of every one who wiflies his mind to ( keep pve with the political changes which are every where working in the world. It (hall be our care to fele& every thing that feerns to have relation to there changes, or that can alit' our Readers in forming a found opinion refpefting them. The zeal with which the French Republic is preparing a ftrong force for the Well In lies, ex cites, as might be expeeed, much (peculation and we are happy to find our Governmen not inattentive to there proceedings. W with we 4ould add, that we knew it to be thei determination not to allow a tingle (hip of w to fail from any French port till the De6nitis Treaty be concluded. Such ought to he their conduft. Sound policy demands it ; nor oug our late (if not our prefcnt) enemy to comply at a hindrance of %hick he may batten the moval, by bringing the butnefs at Amiens day to a conclufion. Already we have feu an interpretation give to the word integrity, in the Treaty between Fran and Portugal, which isayffity, or if that be too bog a word, coaveniexce only can admit to be amg dei nition of the term. Portugal has been deprived of i confiderable portion of her territory in Guyams though by the Preliminary Treaty between Country and France, it was exprefsly underlie( that the territories of Portugal fhould be prefers( in the fame ftate as ftipulated by the Treaty 'Badajos. This we think furnifbes a fufAcient grow for caution, if not for jealoufy, on our part; ar fo convincgd are we of the truth of this, that I think our hfinifiers would be perfealy juflifiablei not only ordering our fleets to block up the Free( fquadrons, but adually to bring them into Ports, if they (hall perfill in the defigp of quip their own harbours. It is much eafier to than remedy the evils that may refult from timid proceedings on our part.
