That )which lately was fent hither from Paris has not been approved by the Legiflative Commiflion, charged to examine it ; and on the loth, Deputies it is faid were difpatched to Paris, 0 make fume remon ftrances in regard to this Conftitution : one of the faults rernatked in it is, that too large property is requil cd as a qualification to be e1e8..11 to public offices. It is thought that this mcafure would onFne all U-puties to a flw taro thCS ; we are oven atior:.l that robins vse a alrc.ady fcleCted to occupy them.

Vilma, Sm. t9.—The government of Lit puri,*.town in the if of Cephalonia, has made. a decree, by which every peafant it forbidden to enter the town with arms : four peafants of the neighbouring villages, who defpid this order, having entered the town armed, one Mau)°, who commanded fome troops of the country, cant ed them to be arretted, and conveyed to one of the government prifons. When the families of thefe four individuals learned that they were in confinement, they wrote a threatening letter to Ti. PA LDO, ordering him to intercede with the go vernment, that they might be fet at liberty, de claring at the fame time, that they would enter the city in a numerous body to releafe them by force, and to mall - acre - him. TIPALDO fent this letter to the Members of the Government, who immediately canted two of the four prifoners to be thot. When this event was made known, the pea sants of the neighbouring villages ark/tabled to the number of about 4,000, and entered the city.— TIPALDO then went to meet them with tome troops and two field-pieces ; but the infurgents attacked the troops, and feiud the two pieces of cannon along with the Commandant Tt PA 'Aso. The troops not being able to withftand the infurgents betook themfelves to flight. Thirty foldiers who flint them felves up in a houfe fell a facrifice to the flames. The infurgents then cut off Ttratno's head, and quartered his body, the four parts of which were fent by the Chiefs of the infurgents to the families , of the four perfons who had been arrefted. At the time when the letters which brought this account were fent off, the whole Hand was in a Rate of infurreeion, fo that it is impoffible to fay what may be the confequence. The veil which brought this news, and or ,\tived here a few days ago, was only (even days on eta paffage. The Ruffians have quitted Corfu, where for fome time there has been no Turks. The inhabi tants have affembled, and eftablifhed a fort of dic tatorihip they have formed a Council compofed of deputies from all the States, and every quarter of the city and of the country, On the such of July, a Turkifh fquadron, con filling of fix frigates, appeared before this illand : as the Commander of it teemed defirous of landing, the head of the Government fignified to him, that he might come on thore, provided he brought with him only a (mall number of attendants, and that he and his fuite carried no arms : he was offered a fupply of provifions, and every thing he might have occafion for. The Turlcifh fquadron imme diately fet fail, and tranquillity prevails in the iftaad. PITEASSUILGH SEPT. 15.--Their IMPEITAL MA.

" I have received the King's commands to !Islay to zone Lordihip, that in confesuence of the happy event of the Rati fication of Preliminary Article, of Peace between his Majafty and the French Government, it is become unneceffary to pro ceed further in the execudon of the meafures diredted to he taken for carrying into tired the provifions of the Adt of the '3Bth of the King, in the event of any attempt being made by the enemy to cffe& a landing in Great• Britain. His Majelly has diredted me to add, that It is impoffible for him, on this oc carton, not to repeat, in the itrongeft terms, the deep and lift ing fenfe which he entertains of that Ready attachment to our eltabliihed Cpnftitutlen, and that loyalty, kirk, and perfever. ante, which have been manifefted by the leveed Corps of Yeomanry and Volunteers in every part of his Kingdom. It is therefore his Majefty's pleafore that your Lordihip ihould forthwith communicatilliais Letter to the Commanding Officer of each Corps of Yeomanry and Volunteers within the County of Middlefer, and dined them to read the fame to their refpee tire Corps when next affembled ; and return them thanks, in his Majefty's name, for a eondnd which has contributed fo ef fentially towards maintaining the public [murky, and enabling his Majeßy to bring the cornett in which he has been engaged to an honourable and advantageous conelafion. His Majeßy *has, at the fame time, commanded me to Rate, that there Is, every make to hope that a continuance of the fame difpofition which has produced the Signature and Ratification of Prdimi naries of Peace, will fpeedlly lead to a Definitive Treaty ; but that, until that period arrive, it is isdifpenfably neeeffmy that there fhould be no relametion In the preparations which have been made for the general defence. I have it, therefore, in com mand from his Idajefty, to ezprefs his firm reliance that the feveral Corps of Yeomanry and Volunteers will continue them hives in readinefs for immediate fervice, and to be regularly trained end eserdfed as often as their eireumftanees will re fpcaively admit.

The French prifoners in this country at prefent amount to upwards bf 20,00t0, and they are all cf.'. feEtive men, the fick having been fent home from time to tints as they fell ill. Of thefe 20,000, nine in ten are able-bodied feamen ; they are the beft failors of France, the mon daring and enterprifing, who have been monly employed in privateers and fmall cruifers. The debt owing to this country by France for the keep of her prifoners, amounts to very little lefs than 2,00°,0001. flerling. The public revenue of this country, at the death of Queen Elizabeth, was only 6g0,0001. At the revolution it was 2,000,000 L ; and at prefent it amounts to 29,000,0001.

A very extenfive Plan of Finance is preparing by the Minifler to be fubmitted to the judgment of Parliament. We muleritand, from good authoti. ty, that, in this important andertalung, Mr. Au. DINGTOII receives frequent afliflance from Mr. Parr, who has employed his hours of retirement in the attentive confideration of the meafure. - The objeas in view are, to avoid altogether a loan for the payment of the prefent arrears of the public fervice ; to redeem the old and new Fi re per Cents. and, at the fame time, to lay the foun. dation of the gradual redemption of the Fours r thus leaving no other Rock than the Three per Vent. Confols. and Three per Cent. Reduced. To drat objeas of fuch great national impor. Lance, and to raife the neceffary (tams, it is laid that the remaining part of the Land Tar, not al ready purchafed, is to be put up torah (agreeable to the original idea of Mr. Purr), under the diree.„ Lion of the Commiffioners appointed for that pur. pole, precifely in the fame manner as efiates are fold, with the referve, that no land tar flail be fold under a certain number of years purchafe the county, and fituation of the laud, in come de. gree, to guide the Conuniffioders in their eflimate. A certain depofit to be made by the purchafer immediately, and the remaining films to be paid at given periods. A liberal difcount to be allow.' l ed on prompt payment,' and the receipts to be transferable an the fame manner that fcript receipts are transferred ? The growing land tax to be re ceived by Government until the whole put chafe. money is paid, when an abatement of what was due from the date of the flit infialment in the land tax receipts is to be returned. The land tax not purchafed is raid to amount to a fum 9ual to forty millions of three per cent. flock. It is very natural to conclude, that every man paying laud. tax will endeavour to become the purchafer of it, particularly when he finds it expofed to public title, and fubjed to the controul of anotliet indivi dual. Each purchafer of land, it is faid, is to be' entitled to all the advantages or privileges of a Freeholder. The other part of this Plan of Finance we under hand to be the Talc by Lottery of all the Croser t Lands, and others, on which no individual claim can beeltablithed. The tickets to he tool. each; and two prizes to one blank; no prize to exceed. Soo acres, and none to be lower than five : a given number of tickets only to be iffued at certain fixed periods, and thefe to ezprefs the diftrift thus on; Pale; by which means the market for them will' never be overloaded, and a fure rule is expeCted to : be found for them. The proUability of poffeiling a large }rad of land for the (mall (urn of iccl. will, it is thought, induce alrnoft every man who can (pare that rum to try his fortune. Indcpend• ently of thus eafily throwing fo large afum as thie 'part of the plan is expected to produce into the hands of the Government, the very defirable ob. je4 of redncing the price of provilions will thus, b a very great tneafure, be effeaed, as every man will be amens to waste the molt of his land, aid to bring It into the higheft ;soak Rate of colti• station; and ~r e (hall nein feel/nail farms Rattered over the country, where at prefent there are nn. thing but walla 4oatateas. The immenfefurneari fing from thefe two fon rev will, it is expeeled,not only render it unneceirary to borrow any more money, but they will throw into the hands of Government many millions fterling, voluntarily given, as it were, without any addi tional taxation. A fimilar Plan for the relief of Ireland, as far a; .regards the wage lands; it is raid, is alfo in a Rate of great forwardnefs.
