" B4:l4iirsarz who, during the abfence of the FIRST CONSUL, was entrufted with the princi pal management of affairs, had condulted him felf with a very great degree of moderaton.—ln this refpea it is Paid to be generally remarked that Joss, is, unlike the reft of the family, has never been diftinguithed by any fpirit of intrigue, and has even difcovered a confiderable degree of unwillingnefs to accept of any prominent fituation in the Government. The charafter of Luc ism is known to be of a much more fanguine kind ; and while he was Minifter of the Interior, he did every thing in his power to pave the way for the reftoration of a Monarchical form of Government in the perfon of his brother, the Coasur.. After he had by all fuitable means prepared the people for the recep tion of this propofition, he feduloufly circulated a pamphlet, entitled," Aparalkl betwixt Cefar,Crom well, and Bonaparte." '1 he (Ned of this pamphlet was to t;•br his fervices and his talents, was infinitelyTuperioritifth* charaters to whom he was compared. It was aliened that by a miraculous union of circumftances he hadbeen railed to a much higher pitch of glory than almoft any other mortal had ever reached, and thatthere fore it was at once the duty and the intereft of the French people to place him at the head of their 'deftinies. To fecure this end, all the conftituted authorities, all the corporations, all the individuals who could be trufted, were invited to encourage by . their fvffrages and their zealous endeavours, this falutary meafure of placing llosierwa on the va cant Throne. "As a proof that this was a meafure which it was conceived would not only be popular, but would be received with gratitude, the Prefetfts were inftrated to•ufe all their influence to procure a choice of the Deputies to Paris from thofe who 1 favoured the principles of the Conftitnent Allem bly of 1789, and thofe who had become Offer fors of National property. This fcheme did not meet even with partial fuccefs. By one party it was confidered as a proof of abfurdity, and by another as a mark of infolence. Potion was accufed as the author of this refiftance, but the Fier'. Coast/ T. fa his face againft the propofition. —By many perfons it was regarded as a device, by which the Deputies from the different Depart ments might be induced to affemble at Paris, and the FIRST Comm'. might thus be *enabled to af certain their real opinions, and judge of their de tires, their willies and their wants. Lumps was difconcerted, and felt all the chagrin which fech a difappqintment was calculated to excite, and no thing but the addrefs of the FIRST• CONSUL re lieved him from his embarraffment. The Depu ties were fucceffively invited to the pretence of the Plass. CotisuL, and a few queftions of local inte- 1 reft, propofed in a conciliatory manner, reftored their good humour. To the favourite defign of Lucia,' this was a cruel difappointment, and therefore Foveae was looked up to as the grand fource of the ill fuccefs that had attended it, and he was accordingly to be one of the firft vitims of Confular refentment. Fears of the perfonal fecu rity of the Piers. Cousin. were eagerly circulated, .and Foveae's plans of police were uniformly dif concerted. Lucas* was at that time premature, and the confequence was, that he was then ba nifhed, and during his abfence FOUCHR and his myrmidons went on (moodily. The recal of Lucius was accompanied With the revival of his former views, and POUCH a, with all that party which he was fuppofed to favour, fell into difgrace. [BONAPARTI, one would think, bad already been fufficiently elevated in power, but the fame letter from which we have (elated the preceding parti culars, goes on to mention that the fcheme of Monarchy is renewed.) " A number of petitions from Lyons, Brufels, Strafburgh, Bourdeaux; Amiens, Rouen, Dijon, and other places of inferior confequence are Rated to have been received, in all of which a with is expreffed that BOSAPARTI thould be named as the firft of a new line of Sovereigns. New changes in the Government are expelled, and the fyftem of family promotion is to be zealoufly purfued.—Jo- SITH BONAPARTI is to be at the head of thaDiplo matic Department; Luctaa is to be reftored to the dignity of Minifter of the Interior; Louis is to be Commander in Chief of the Armies, and Jazost a is to be Grand Admiral of the Republic l' We lay thefe ftatements beforeour Readers with outfgr in the fmalleft de gr ee meaning to give an opi nion in favour of the ee of credit to whi c h th e y are entitled.

The Diet of Schwitz has difolveditfelf ; not, however, without protelling•againft the meafures that have been, or may yet be adopted by the other Cantons, contrary to the rights. rand indepetidence of the nelvetic fluence acquired by France. The Imam of PARMA is dead, and that duchy is now announced to be under the proteaion of the French Republic, which alone is to exercife in it the fun&ions of Government. It has, in faa, become French property, and the Court of Madrid has ac•' . quiefced in the meafure by a convention executed between that Power and France ! Either the right of France to affume the Sove reignty of Europe muft be acknowledged in a fhort time by thofe Powers which yet ezift, or thofe very Powers muft, in a fiort time, unite to fecure their own independence ! To dwell on the tendency of the ufurpationa of France is not neceffary, when our Readers are to be prefented with details of the kind that follow : PARIS, Nov. 9.—Prince RuSPOLI, h is Paid, has not accepted the Office of Grand Matter of Malta. HAvLE, Nov. 9.—Yeftertlay the Conftituted Au thorities, Civil and Military, were prefcnted to the FIRST CONSUL, who received them with great at. fability. All the fpeeches addreffed to him were expreffive of refped, love, and fubmiffion for all the Adminiftrators. To the fpeech made by the Mayor, at the head of the Municipal Council, Bo- NAPARTR replied :—" That he was flattered by the teftimonies of refpeit given to him by the in habitants of Havre, that he deferved them by the intereft he took in their town, that Rouen and Havre were the two firft towns he had vifited fince the Peace ; that he confidered the latter as the Port of Paris ; for (added he), Paris, Rouen, and Havre form only one city, the grand ftreet of which is the Seine." Then fpeaking of the works in the harbourb he raid, " He had obferved, that there Rill remained a great deal to be done ; but that he taw with pleafure that a great deal had been already done. He charged the Members of the Municipal Body to ezprefs to their fellow ci tizens, how much he was fatisfied with the recep tion they had given him." The body of Merchants was prefented to him, and M. &coy an, of whom Havre is proud, ad dre(l•ed him in a fuitable fpeech. The Fiasir Cortsur. converted for an hour on every branch of maritime commerce, as if he had been engaged with it during his whole life. He gave them con• folation for the pall misfortunes, and hopes of future profperity. He chewed them that time alone can repair every thing. He invited the Pre fident of the Civil Tribunal, the Prefident of the Tribunal of Commerce, and M. Bsoouse, to dinner. The Municipality gave a dinner of 8o covers to all the perfons who compofed the Suite of the Film Coesu L. All the Civil and Military Chiefs were invited to it. In the evening there was an illumination. The FIRST CONSUL and his fpoufe went to the Play ; after which Madame BorrAvaßTE received company,and told the Ladies of our town how much the loved a port from which the had embarked 13 years ago , for Martinico. This morning at break of day the Fi err CoNsuL was on horfeback. He went round all the barons and embarked in a boat prepared for him to in fpetl every part of the port. He returned at half after nine. Lyons, Nov. 3.—A fociety had within there few months been eftablinted here under the name of Fathers of the Faith. It was organifed, and had cho . fen a Director, who *as ftyled the General of the Order. This dangerous Corporation has juft been fuppreffed by order of the Government ; it attempted to lay hold of the confidence of the great and of the rich, as likewife of the education of their children, and attempted to wield the two great engines of the Confeflional and of the Ca thedra, in order to thunder like enthufiafts againfl the (late, and thofe Priefts who have fubmitted to it, and to diffeminate on all fides principles hoftile to the Government. They had it in contempla tion to fpread themfelves far and near, and to en grofs the education of the youth of the country. CAILIARiIIig, Nov.

That General had fet ofit the fame day for the Cantons, which, during the late troubles, were the molt agitated. It appears that he wilt . foon return thither, as the deputy is waiting for him. The Helvetic deputies will fet out next Tuefday for Paris. On Thurfday five French battalions] entered Zurich. The French, who marched from Melinguen, paired the mountains in the night time, to the number of 3 or 4 000 men. Each held a flambeau or a candle, which fo fright. ened the enemy, that the town of Zurich fent its keys; but the French General replied, « I w ill n Zurich, my f o ldi ets h not accept the keys from you : it t h e gates are illauvte k wheneys t o I arr iv eope n them." befre placeALE, a and itN Nov. 2 0 . b — 1 g T e h d e t 0 1l d i roi f t. e S i c t h fe ri o t z n c th a . i f e I 2 s xndoi er to al th il e AP longer t u i l l t e . ap T pr h o e ac l h a ft of d t e i c ) e l a F ra r t e i n o c n h o t f ro G o e p n s its fitting, induced it to feparate, contrary to the will of its Prefident, the too famous ALOI'S RED ING, who would have preferred war, that h • migat gratify his buundlefs ambition.
