- FRANCE. PARIS, MARCH 3. The jeurisal de Paris contains the following re. marks refpeaing the Emigrants whore names have been Bruck off the lift. " Every day the lilt of Emigrants is diminifh ing,every day the lift of the ungrateful is increafing. One hears ten times a day, Government has at frqtb done nit an ail • f by soi menu talkie. Mk who it is that ores the expraffion, you will find it is an Emigrant who has borne arms againfl his country, and who on his return has regained his poffeffions; but when you hear a man, who, with a counte nance of joy and pleafure, tells you brifkly aair bar beenfirsei out ; the piled Government makes us for. , get the two that have been earfftd MO GOVentllatil " coltish have zone before it, you may be allured that ' , this man is a father of a family, whole name was ;Wilted on the fatal fill becaufe he was compelled to fly, or to conceal himfelf ; and that on his re turn he has not recovered of his former polreffions, either a cottage to flicker him, or a field to give him bread. " An Emigrant of rank (as he pretends) lately met a Ruffian officer s and prefesited to him another man of quality with this introdudion—Permit me, Sir, to prefent to you M. Comte de —, he has had the honour of ferving under your orders in Italy; and this is laid by the fide of a French Ge neral, who has received a wound in fighting the Ruffian army in Italy." Every day the lilt of ungrateful men increafes ; that of the Emigrants decrcafes. Bad men, when they are alto ungrateful, become vile and con temptible. At Mentz they were ping to eftablifh a German Theatre ; it is now faid that this projea has been dira pp roved of by th e Con ftit uted Authorities. hap pears to be the obi eel of Government to render the French language more familiar to the inhabitants of thole countries, which mull be advantageous to them, fince they are defined to. live under the French laws. The fociety of Literati, ettablithed at Mentz, have received orders to hold their con ferences in the French language. The journal de Paris contains a letter from Ma dame LACROSSI, in juflification of the charaaer her hufhand, Admiral Lacaossit (lately expelled from Guadaloupe). She inclofcs two letters ad drefred to her hulband, one from the late General Hocm I, the other from TRU° int., formerly Mi miller of Marine, complimenting him in the high eft terms for the gallantry he difplayed in the de fence of les Droits de l'Homme, a French fhip of the line, againft the INDRTATIGABLI, Sir EDWARD Pas.esw's veld, and the AMAZON frigate. For his condole upon this'occafion he was promoted by the Direaory to the rank of Admiral. The National Inftitute at its Sitting of the 26th ult. eleaed a Refident Member of the clafs of Ma thematical and Phyfical Sciences for the Seetion of Mineralogy. RAMORD obtained the appoint ment. having 233 votes. PATRIN had 230. and VALMONT de &MARE 197. The Inftitute alto ap- Tponted three Foreign Afrociatesone for each clafs. he three Candidates in the clafs of Literature and Fine Arts were Meas. Myst . , lieorsroce, and SURRIDAN ; in the dais of Mathematical and Phyfical&iences,Meffis.MASK ILYVE,HIRSCH sta., and PIIIRSTILT; in the clafs of the Moral and Po litical Sciences, Meffrs. Ram te, RunroaD. and Mixesa. The order of the general fcrutiny was the fame as in the clafres, and Mefirs. Harms, MAIEILTNs, and Rust roar), were elated Foreign Affociates. A letter from Strabourg lays, That the build ing of the new fortreffes along the left Bank of the Rhine is to commence in March. It is affirmed that the cities of Bonn, Saint Goar, and Franken that, will become fortreffes of the fecond rank.— Several battalions of miners and pioneers have already arrived on the Banks of the Rhine, to be employed on there works. When the Ifland of St. Domingo was difeovered by CNIMTOPNER COLV MMUS, Its population amounted to a million of inhabitants; but in con fequence of the cruel oppreflion which there un happy people experienced from the Spaniards,their number in the fpace of fifteen years, was reduced to 60,000. At the era of the Revolution, the French part of the Ifland contained 42,000 whites, free people of colour, and 600,000 Raves. iti:7: 7) ot afcertained that fince that time there has any diminution of the inhabitants taken place; but when we confiderthe wars,mafracres, baniflnents, and emigrations which have taken place, to com pute the diminution at too,ooo perfons, would come short of the truth. It molt alto be recol lated, that St. Domingo owed much of its inha bitants to importation; and there is no certainty that without this •fource it is able 'to fupply the efpecially as in its molt flourithing times, . the continual importation of Negroes made no fen tilde addition to its population. It is a fall, that in 1789, the number of deaths amounted to 7122, that of births to 4232. From theft premifes it would be ralh to conclude, that without importa tion of negroes the population of this colony would continually decreatc ; but as this would plainly have been the cafe in the period preceding the Re volution, it is neceflary to obviate it by reforming abufes, or introducing a Legiflation more fuitable to the Ifland than that which has fu long rendered importation indifpenfible. MOM THE PARIS PAPERS. RATIIIION, Fla. 16.—We now know poll tively that the conferences relative to the Indemnities will take place in this city. We expe& every day M. de HUGEL, Imperial Co-Commitrary, and M. le Count de Got LT Z, AMballidol from the Elec tor of BRAN DF BURG. The Emperor has ap. pointed M. SCH MAUL, Counfellor of the Empire, Sub. Delegate for Bohemia. Amongfl the number of conjetinres which arife upon this fubjed, there is one which is generally agreed in,that the King of PaustlA will exchange tin Principalities of Aufpacb and Bareutb. Mita', Fes. tB.-.Our new Government has commenced its operations. The Legiflative Coun cil, which yet wants feveral Members, has divided itfelf into as many Seaions as there are Minifters. Butte, Fes. 17.—The definitive plan of In. demnities has arrived, as was expeaed, in the courfe of this month. It was brought by a French courier, who arrived here two days ago. General BZURVONTILLT, immediately upon receiving it, waited upon Count HAUGWITZ, our MOLT of Foreign Affairs„to whom be communicated it. The King was alfo informed of it the fame day. That projet will be very advantageous for Pruffia and her Allies. GLARIS, Fes. tB.—The prefent is a moment of anxiety, and of une concern for die real friends of their country. In a Canton, which for four ages has fo much diiiinguifhed itfelf by its manner of thinking and aging, continual alarms are excit ed, which difirefs the people, and prepare their minds to expeft the moll fatal confequences. Not only the Conftitutional Authorities are difobeyed, but even the Cantonal FunBionaries are intuited ; on which occafion, the people take the opportuni ty of (hewing their hatred to them. Already re alion is talked of, and an indemnification to thofe people, who in the beginning of the Revolution were confifcated at 13afle and in favour of whom it is tuppoted the Cantonal Treafury has been a third time pillaged. BASLE, Fes. s3.—Letters from Zurich give'a fatisfaaory account of the interior fituation of that Canton. When Toicia„ BLit/Lilt, WUNKM•IIN, and BILLSTAL returned, the agitation of the pub lic mind was very great, and an explofion was feared. They, however, went round to the dif ferent Communes, and reprefented that any armed refinance to the order of Government could have no falutary effea, and they intimated at the fame time, that the 7 had found the Chief Landamman, the French Miniffer, and many Members of the Senate, to entertain the molt favourable fentiments towards the people, whore grievances there was every reafon to believe would be remedied. Thefe efforts had the defired effeet ; tranquillity was re aored, and the payment of the 'faxca was no longer refined. ROLLAND. • HAGUE, MARCH t.—The inftallation of the High National Tribunal, of which J. A. RE ov ENS is Prefident, and of the National Syndicate, being by a refolution of the Government of State fixed for to-day, a magnificent proceffion accordingly took place to the Treves Chamber, where, with clofed doors, the ceremony of the firft was per formed. The latter was inftalled at twelve o'clock, in an apartment of the Government of State. Our Minifter at the Congrefs of Amiens has made the molt preffing reprefentations to the French Ambaffador, for the re-!hutting of the Scheldt, in order to fuflain the declining com merce of this country; or if this should be found impoffible that then, for pr event i ng i ts tota l ru i n , it might be made a law, that the trading towns of Brabant and Flanders be rendered fubjeft to an impoli of three-fourths on the tranfits conveyance of their merchandife, and thole of this Republic to one-fourth ; offering, at the fame time, to place Middleburgh on a footing with Dunkirk, and thus one-fourth higher; by this means, he propofed throwing obflacles in the way of the Englith merchants in Brabant, and to deprive them there of advantages which might be found here, and thus to procure the French confiderable gain to the prejudice of the Engin)). Our Mimi tier has alto propofed in the Congrefs the abroga tion of the famous, and to us fatal, Aft of Navi gation palled by Cromwell ; an Alt which gave a mortal ftab to the commerce of this country and at the conclufion of the peace to form an entire new Commercial Treaty with Great Britain.— Theft two points, in the prefent pofture of our af fairs, are of the higheft importance to the well being of this Republic. France, without being too liberal or too grateful, may fafely accord the one, and England the other; for it would be dif ficult to fay by whom we have Coffered moll—our ' friends or our foes; and, among all the indemni. fications talked of, we hear of nothing that is to come to our (hare. How far Citizen Sol isms'. has fucceeded, or how far he will fucceed time muft determine ; for as yet we are ignorant of our deftination and our fate. We hear nothing as yet of the Report to be brought out by the Committee of the Government of State, for a folid union of parties. New difficulties, and new uncertainties have probably arifen. But we have lefs than other nations to exped from unanimity within, time our profperity and even our very exifience depends on Foreign Powers. By unanimity, indeed, we might, in procefs of time, replenith our exhaufled finances, repair and replace our 'battered and ruined navy, give new life to our conimerce, revive our droop ing manufadories, and thus at length be enabled to alien our independence, and to re-aflame our rank among nations. A Briti(h Senator, fince his late defence of the liberties of the prefs, is become the fubjed of negyric among our political writers: they profel thcmfelves glad to obferve, that the liberty of the prefs is maintained as well in England as here ; and to (hew that this •liberty is extending itfelf, the following extra ft has been given from a work, called a Illumination," which has been five times re-printed at Berlin, without the fmall. cd notice or interruption on the part of the Go vernment. " Goo (lays the Author) gave Sovereigns no right to convert the inhabitants of their States to blockheads, or to render their fubjeds ; none for tinting commands to which convidion mutt fa crifice its better reafon; none to fay to ration ' and candid men—be diffemblers be villains !" Whatever our writers may, however, alTert •or imagine, we are lirangers as yet, with all our new importations, to an AR of Habeas Corpus and a trial by jury. ROTTERDAM, MARCH Z.—There has been a great run lately on the banking houfes, in confe quence of the avidity which men of property have fhewn to fubfcribe to the late loan, the whole of which is now finilled. There begins to be a fir in the trade of this city, which, it is fuppored, will lofe much lets by the approaching Peace than Amferdam, moft of the bufinefs of which will be gradually transferred to Antwerp and other places, should the Scheldt be Coffered to remain open. SWITZERLAND. Biaws, Faa. iB.—After the filling of the Se nate, and of the appointments which had been made, that Body immediately proceeded to the framing of the new Conftitution, the plan for which, it is alerted, that was brought from Paris by Citizen RIDING, mug now Carve as the founda tion of it. Notwithftanding the refpea which is' entertained for the origin of this plan, it Rill meets with various objeaions, none of which were re moved fo late as the t6th.—The following are the outlines of it. The judiciary authority to re• tide in the adminiftrative colleges of the Cantons; a National Afembly, meeting at Rated periods, than fuperfede the tribunals of Appeal and Caf ration. There is no mention made of the calling together of a general National Affembly for ac• cepting or rejeaing of the Conftitution: but, on the contrary, this judgment, and the organifation of the Republic Will, is committed to the Colle ges, which are to be inftituted in the following manner. The primary affemblies of each canton (hall name the mbli eligible citizens, in the pro portion of one from the hundred. Out of there latter, the Chamber of Adminiftration, and the Tribunal, !hall each nominate four : there eight, thus chofen, !hall add to themfelves four others ; and the Senate (hall augment that number with four more, without being obliged, however, to take thefe lag out of the lift of the eleaive. Thefe four and twenty citizens (hall form the body of the eleaors, who, in proportion to the extent of the I Canton, nominate a college of from ten to thirty Members. The deftination of there colleges (hall be, the accepting of the Conftitution which (ball be laid before them by the Senate ; and they, on their part, to !•übtnit to the Senate the plan of organization which they (hall have framed for their particular Cantons. GER3fANT. HAMSURCH, MARCH I.—Letters from Ratifbon, dated Feb. 24, lay—" The Hanoverian Minifteron the istth ult. delivered a fecond note, in rejoinder to the anfwer given by the P ru ffi an linifter to his firft addrefs. In this latter he exprefres his fur prize and embarrafTment at the unfavourable re. ception which his firft adJrefs had experienced : and exprefily declares, that his Court had no view to hinder the fecularizations, but only wifhed to manifeft its right to the countries in queftion. "A courier has'arriveil at Mccklenburgh Streik z from Peterlburgh,with a declaration of the Ruffian Monarch, rejeaing the plan propelled at Paris of giving Mecklenburgh to Pruffia, to form a better arrondiernom for the PrufEan dominions, and to fa- cilitate the indemnities." Letters from Brufrels, dated Feb. iB, fays— We learn from Amiens that Lord CORNWALLIS has had several conferences with the Chevalier d'Az ARO, the Spanifh Plenipotentiary, refpeeing the indemnities which Spain demands from Grrat Britain. M. AZZAZO had referred the fubjed to his Court. Until this queftion isadjufled, the fign ing of the Definitive Treaty is neceffarily retarded. " England has not yet agreed to indemnify the Batavians for the Eaft India (hips detained at the breaking out of the war. The new eftablilhment of the Italic Republic has alto created new delays. Neverthelefs there does not exift reafon to doubt the peace being ultimately figned." By virtue of a convention figned at Berlin be. tween France and Pruffia, and afterwards ratified by the Prince of Orange, his Serene Highnefs, has formally renounced all claim to his eftates in the Batavian Provinces, in confideration of fufficient indemnity being granted to him by France, on the left bank of the Rhine. Accounts from Vienna of the trh, mention the arrival of the Helvetic Envoy Extraordinary, Ba ron DIIISBACH, with his Secretary, Baron Lail- TVLUS. They had vifited the French Minifter, and were fpeedily to be introduced to his Imperial Majelly. A confulerable degree of confufion was excited by the circumftance of the porter of one of the Foreign Miniflers having been infulted by a mob. The Prince of Muria has fent his portrait, rich ly fet in brilliants, to the Princefs AMTOMIATTS of Sicily, his intended fpoufe. The Marquis CAMPo d'ALstios, the formerly intended Mini(ler from Spain to Amiens, has re turned from Genoa to Rome. A letter from Bulforah,7lated Sept. 4, siia Con ftantinople, rays, " the Bedowan Arabs, who me naced the followers of Mahomet, in the year 1798, have again appeared in arms on the borders of the Defart, where they are joined by immenfe numbers of profelytes to their new tenets. Their d o d r i ne i s a fpecies of Deifm, and in decided hoftility to the Koran ; its Sat propagator is faid to have been af faffinated in his camp, and to have been fucceeded by his fon-in-law, a fanguinary ruffian, who puts to death all perfons within his power who do not em price and affift in the eftabliffiment of his new re ligion. Confiderable alarm has been excited at Bagdad, and bodies of troops are marching from' various quarters in order to oppofe the infurgents. —One of the-Englifh packets, charged with fome important commercial difpatches,f has been cap. tured in the Perfian Gulph, by a piratical fquadron of dows, commanded by EGwss EGA : the crew of the packet were landed on an uninhabited part of the coaft, to the north-weft of Gambron, but after great hardfhips found their way hither. Ea was is one of the perfons concerned in the confpi racy againft the life of the Emperor, and who on its diffiovery effeded his efcape. Several armed vefels have been fent in quell of him, and a large reward has been offered for his body alive or dead." LONDON. MONDAY, MARCH 8. PRICE OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK 3 per C.

They do not teem to have taken any alarm in France refpeding the negociations at Amiens, it we may judge by the price of their funds, which have not IluEluated above 5 cent. for fome days. The price' is 57 fr. g c. The preparations in our ports are n^.•s the lab. jet of general converfation, and the timid, %%la feldom allow themfelves to judge with fufficient coolnefs, •iew them as a certain indication of an approaching rupture. They are, however, as we hive bad occafion before to remark, only prudent precautions on the part of Miniflers, and are more calculated to avert than to bring on hoftilities. How much better it would have been never to have difaimed, or to have faf. fered the French force to fail to the Weft-Indies. feems now to be very generally admitted. All theoprefent alarm might have thus been prevented. and we &mild certainly before this time have fen the Treaty concluded. We forbear to repeat the idle reafonings that have been advanced to aocount for the prefent condue of bliaifters, as a few days will remove all further ambiguity on the fubjea, lithe enemy has manifefted any thing like a treacherous con duet, it is certainly belt to be prepared to ad with energy—if they have thrown impediments in the way of the Definitive Treaty to gain time, which poifibly they might improve to their own advan tage, the condua of our Government is well c.d. c ulate4 to remove them. Saturday morning his M A:F sr y, atten d ed by General MANN BLS, rode out on horfeback in Wind. for Great Park.

Amongft other reforms and retrenchments of expenditure, the Earl of Sr. VINCENT, it is Paid, has it in contemplation to abolifh the prcfent al lowance to Pullers in the Ifavy, and to give them an increafe of pay in lieu of loch allowance. Capt.

The bill letters from India mention that Mar. quis WILLIOLY has been appointed Captain-Gene ral and Commander in Chief in India. The Court of DireElors have alto voted a very fuperb Nord, as a prefent to Colonel 0.0411, for his eminent fer vices at Seringapatam. Letters from India, dated early in O. !late, that the Poligar, CHINN* MADOO, has occafioned fuch alarm in the neighbourhood of Madua, that whole villageb have been deferted, and the natives Bed into the upper provinces for fafety._ This Chieftain commands a much greater force than was imagined, and poffelles refources which are the fubje& of aftonif h ment to our Indian Govern. ment. It appears that fomc Sirdars, formerly in the fervicc of Ttrroo, and who were received un der the proteaion of the Englifh, and liberally provided for, have joined the fiandard of the Poll gar, and by their talents and influence, have ren dered his warfare more formidable." The infurgents who were routed by Colonel ST r• PHENSEN, in Tinwelly, have taken refuge in the almoft inacceilible part of the Ghauts to the South of Panamgoody. ZEMAUN SHAH, according to letters from Surat, dated early in September, was poifoned at a pub lic entertainment. It is added that the ccmfpira tors had taken refuge in the camp of the Infur• gents, on the South Eaft frontiers. So loon as tranquillity is rellored in the interior, the India Company purpofe to fend an embaffy to Cabal, with a view, it is Rated, of eftablithing a Relidency on the frontiers of Candahar.
