t t FRANCE. PRIVATE LETTI-R, PARIS, NOVEMBER i. The following obfervations, taken in a general point of view, may not be found uninterefting: " Uov. nment begins to be fenfible of the of It as rccolting limn the tyllem which Focc E has purfued during the time be was at the head of the, Police department. The Jacobins were every where united by rri.fans of a fecret correlpridence ; they found proteetion from anus:ober of PrefeCts;. they were Ihielded from the operation of meafttres of vinlcnce by thole revolutionary tharafter, who have been crowded into the employments of the State. Hence that determined obilinacv to dif cover eve] v where the machinations cf the Roy. alias, and to impute to them every fort of plot and confpiracy. In the attainment of this objea, M. Fouca E was wonderfully feconded by the very head of the State himiClf, who, as long as he was in the lunation of a private individual, has adop ted by inqinCl and bv'elniraCter the 'aloft eitrava• gant principles, and who, notwithaanding the thuggle in which he has engaged againfl them, (Lill, however, but reluClantly oppoies that party wh.de endeavours aim at making thefe principles triumph. Such is the perplexing pofition of 80. N RT E, that he feels himfelf obliged to Rep on tr.yiaid Royalty through the fuppoit of thofe men v::o have uniformly fworn to refill its re-eftablifh ti;ent, and that while he dare not venture wholly to confide in the apnflacy of a few Royalills, he is compelled to lork for partizans ofhis itfurpation among thole who have either advifed or perpe trated the moll flagrant crimes for the fake of eflablifhing a Republic. Such confederations can alone furnifh a clue to explain the oppolition that has invariably manifeaed itfelf between the prin ciplcs of reparation held out by the Confular • Government, and the charaetcr of the men whom that Government has conflantly employed to giv e . cfreft to its mcfl important meafures. Thus, when the co-operation of Loyalifts was had recourfe to,. only after they had given pledges of their fidelity and even of their bafenefs, the only promife re quited of the Jacobins as the price of the favours favithed upon them was, that they fhould not an noy the fortunate definer, who for fo long had been looked up to as the fondeft hope of their 'party. Whatever attempts may have betrayed, their rage and their rekntment have been punithed with the moll tender forbearance. By enfeebling their aggregate power it was imagined that the number of the auxiliaries of the power who created the Republic might be diminifhed. On the contrary, as often as the Royalift party be. trayed their exiftence by the expreffion of any indifcreet withes, and by tome difertnneded and uncombined movements,they were indifcriminately arrefled, brought to trial without evidence againft them. and fentenced without pity. 11 It is not luppofed that 800 RI rum E'S difgrace will be of any icing duration. It is even probable that, like the difgrace which he heretofore in curted, it will only acquire him a new degree of favour ; for it was on that occaficn he was made a Counfellor of State. " M. BOUit I NNE L began to be weary of the (late of fervitude to which he wai obliged to bend in his employment under the FIRST CoNstit. He took occafion to, requeft that an under Secretary might be appointed, who thould bear a part of the labour which neighed upon him. liven four eyes (olderved the Conful) are tour many for the important interells which we have to attend to.' Other anecdotes are reported to prove the inJignaut tpirit of the Secretary, and the exigent tyranny of his mailer. BOURISI+NR having once 4N:cation to celebrate the birth of a child, for which celebration he invited a numerous company, ad. ct red it a; a [colon for deferrin;:ra piece of bull ock whc!) was rather of a preliing nature, but the Conful, without any previous ~ bfervation, rung for a fervour, whom he ordered to bring up dinner for M. BuußlErr N1 1, as he fhculd not leave the room before midnight. The Secretary however role up.in a pet, and retired, exclaiming againli loch tyrannical prataices. " He ft:on, however, became fenfible of his im prnelc-nt prec:pitancy, and requefied NRTALIS to intercede for his re-admillion, which Was not much refilled by BONA? &ITC, as he was no lets anti-.us to avoid corning to an irreconcileable rupture with a perfon to whom he has entrufted fecrets of fuch ponderous moment. When after their reconciliation BOURIENNE tirit appeared in the Confular prefcnce, " Are you aware," Paid BONAPARTE, PCATALIS has fpoken to me much to your prejudice ; and upon BOURI EN/. E'S offal ing fornewhat cnharrafTcd, he added, " So much %vas I Bruck Foucas's obfervations, that on the next vacancy I will appoint ycn.a Councillor of State." .‘ It was the bankruptcy of Coulon and Co. that involved BOURIENNE in difgrace ; and fo anlious wits he to prevent it, that - he pawned his wife', dim:lords to tai money, but he could not fuected in obviating the notoriety and noife which it occationci ; ai,d it was that notoriety which difpleafed Conful, and not BouatENNE's at tempt to make money ; for BONAPARTE reminds thole about Court of the precarioulnefs of their iituation,ard advifes them to provide for the future. ' 4 The affairs of Switzerland arc ilia in a Rate of et:With:table uncertainty. It appears that the French wrc hefitating whether they Ihould pafs the Rubicon ; and Aeovs RITONG is withdrawing his troops into the moil tenable parts of the country, ccit.l:nly not with an intention to furrender at .dif crction. The accufation again!' Mr. TURNER, for two months paQ fo unwart antably detained in the Con. ciergerie, pi rived to be malicious and ur.fiainded, he It.t , At length been releafed from that prifon. But in order to jutiify the injunice conwnitted against Mr. TURNCR.and to five his denunciators and the Pclice from the double recrimination of malignity and folly, a procyi is now carrying on againft his vioury ; which. as the arguments in favour of non ieflitction are of a very perfuafive kind, will pro. 1)04 be con - ...:maed—not to le rehanti le Ps triter ewner ; and, in 0;4 cafe, will add one Eciorc to tLe on7uf,/J of the ItcpoWit FROM THE PARIS JOURNALS. PARIS, 12 lOU/MA:RE, NOV. 3. On the 27th of laft month the Confuls iffued a decree, that Iheet copper, copper bolts, nails, Etc. shall pay on exportation no more than the diity of the balance of commerce ; and articles of the fame clafs manufaaured in foreign parts, (hall be ad mitted into France on paying 37 f. go c. the (win. tal. Copper boilers of foreign manufaaure may be placed in tzar :pot, and exported to the Colonies du:y i;ce. The great fair of this city, lays 2 letter from Bruifels, is more brilliant this year than for many years pail. It abounds in produ6tions ofnational induar), and in articles cf every kind made in imitation of Englith manufaaures. This mutt be l afcribed to the encouragement held out to French l manufaanres, by the prohibition of thofe of England. The Journal de Lyon: Rates, that on the I 9th ult. about halt pat} eight in the evening, the mail coach from Lyons to Paris was robbed between Arras and Reheims,by from 12 to 15 perfons,dref fed like labourers or mafons. The negroes, fent home at different times by Generals LFCL ERC and RICH E PANSE, and landed at Bra, amount at prefent to soco. A letter flora Evreux (bites as follows:—"The FIRST CONSUL put a number of queftions to the FunClionaries, which were remarkable not only for their importance, but alio for their fagacity and precifion. One of them having afked whether he intended to vifit Navarre, formerly the refidence of the Duke dc Boutat.oa, he replied, " Navarre prefents no objet of public utility ; I with to fee manufaelorics. ' Among the great number of mi., litary men prefented to him, - he particularly no ticed the Commandant at Evreux, a veteran with grey hairs, and 75 years old. " How long, (faid he), has this brave felow ferved ?" " Fifty-five years, General." " Fifty.five years! (rejoined' BiN APA ItTE, turning round to General LAROC Li a) what is his pay ?" " Sixteen hundred francs."— " Is it punClually paid?" " Yes, General.”— " Are there no arrears due to him ?" " None." " Is there nothing for the year four or the year five ?" " Nothing, General." " All is well, then," faid he, fmiling in an interetling manner upon the brave fellow who was the objea of his queftions. Five per Cents. 54. fr. ROUEN, Nov. 3.—Yefterday, at eight in the morning, the FIRST CONSUL continued his tour, to infpeCt the rell of the territories of this place. At noon, accompanied by the Minifter of the Interior, the Prefeet, the fiat LfpeClor General of the Gendarmerie, the General of Divition, the Mayor of the town, and the Generals of his Guard, he went to vilit the principal manufaCtories in the Faubourg Saint Sever. The N.: 1 ,1141er of the In terior prefented to him the &ft workman who wove velvet in France. Thic man has ben more than fifty years in the fervice of the mantifittlories of Rouen. The FIRST CONSUL granted him a pen (ion. Machinery for weaving cloth, and which puts in motion a dozen of looms together, was then examined by the FIRST CONSUL, with the greateft intereft. He granted an extraordinary gratification, by way of encouragement, to the young manufaCturer who was the inventor of this machinery. He next vi iced an eflablifhment for (pinning cot ton,and feveral manufactories of printed cottons. This day, at (even in the morning, the FIRST CONSUL fet out for Elhettf, where he arrived at ten. He breakfaflcd with the Mayor. A com• pany of tiity Volunteers on horfeback, and all the Citizens of the town of Elbeuf went to meet him, and to form his guard. An immenfe number of people flocked to ke him, from all quarters, as he paired. The FIRST Corisut. infpeEted, with great minutenefs, Cite pi incipal manufaCtory and a ma gazine, where all the Drapers of Elbeuf had ex hibited their patterns. The manufaCtories of El beuf ale in the molt thriving Rate. The number of the workmen they employ exceeds, by one fourth, what they employed ia 1788. The bufi nefs they do has increaled in the fame proportion. The FIRST CONSUL gave prefents to the work men of the manufaCtories which he vifited. He returned amid( the acclamations of enthufialm and teftimanies of affeetion which every where burg forth as he paffed. He ordered the Miniaer of tl.c interior to begin and cattle to be completed, the prefent year, the road from Elbeuf to komilly, when_ are the fulling magazines , 4* the manufac tories. In the courfe of the day the FIRST CONSUL entered the different barracks and converted with the foldiers. BASLE, OCT. 2G.—As foon as th• provifional Goveruments of Uri, Glarus, Underwalden, &c. were informed ofrhe fummons addreffed by General RAPP to A LOYS IZEDisn, for the immediate Mo. lotion of the via of Schwitz, they gave orders to their contingents to return to their refpedive Cantons. The Commander of the counter-revolutionary troops, BACHMANN, repaired to Lucerne, whence, after a flay of a few days, he proceeded to Sell witz. Thither alfo repaired the well known Avcvsrus DANICAN, who was formerly in the employment of the avoyer STFIGGEP,, of Berne, and perform ed a very dillinguifhed part in the corps of Swifs emigrants. It may be proper tq remark, that the leaders of the mfurgents, the , majority of whom have borne arms againll France, and, during the laft war, mAntained the clofetl connexions with the Courts of London and Vienna, keep up a frequent exchange of difpatchcs with thole capitals, and carry on a direEt and uninterrupted communica tion with foreign agents. As tranquillity has not been rebored in the Can ton of Zurich, the 27th French demi-brigade, and a regiment of horfe zhatfeurs, have been detached to that quarter. OCT. 27.—A part of the French troops, affem bled on our frontieri, is returning to the fortrefs of Alface, in the interi4 of France. The 14th light demi brigide, which has long been in gar- Mon, is on its march for Marfeilles, where it will be informed of its ulteriqr dellination. A parr of the 04th, cantoned at lirf, nne, has received orders to mum to St:taboret. The troops who arc on their march from Mentz and other parts, lave re• ceivcd counter orders. We have here a garrifon of two French batta lions of the 16th demi-brigade, which had hitherto occupied the Brifgau. The 27th demi-brigade is dellined to form the garrifon of Zurich, with the 13th regiment of Chaffeurs. A battalion of the io4th is going into Argovia. The coops from Geneva and Verfoix will occupy the Cantons of Berne and Fribourg. We are ignorant whether thefe troops will be fent againft the fmall Cantons. The contingents of Uri, Underwald, Schwitz, Glarus, Appenzell, and the Grifons, have return ed home—the Staff of General BACHMAN is dif folved ; the greater part of the perfons compoling it, as well as their Chief, are gone to Schwitz to REDING. Civil war has broken out with great fury in the diflria of Zurich, not only on both fidei the lake but alfo in the mountains. We are allured that the .Zurich contingent, commanded by Major ZIEGLER, which, after its return from Berne, had been fent to the diflrias which had refufed to fub• mit to the Provifional Government, has been de feated by a corps of peafants in the environs of Groningen. The Conaitutional Regime has been reflored at Schaffhaulen. Agitation has ceafed in the Frick thal. BFRNE, OCT. 27.—VERNIAC is not recalltd ; he is only gone to Paris to remain there during the Helvetic Confulta. Several battalions are, it is Paid, going to Zu rich ; perfons are nil l taken up in that Canton .... The fecond demi-brigade tuiok, in its march by Oberland, a confiderable quantity of ammunit on, which the infurgents had depofited in feveral cafe ties. We have certain advices that a new infur reeinn was preparing in Argovia, Baden, and So leure, but the plot was happily defeated. The pretended Government of Baden convoked an Af lembly of Deputies from all the Communes ; but we have reafon to believe that the holding of that affembly will be oppofed. VIENNA, OCT. I7.—His Majefly the Emperor will proceed this day to Prefbourg, to cote the Diet. We learn from Gallicia, that his Serene Highnefs the Grand Duke Consra w TIN r. has every where received on his paflage, and particularly at Lemberg, the moll diflinguifhed honours. This Prince is expedled here this day. Prince FERDI NAND of Wurtemberg, Commandant of the City, has gone to meet him : relays of honks have alfo been fent as far as Stamrnerflorf. His Highnefs will rtinain lucre fome weeks. By 'a courier extraordinary, difpatched from Venire by the Prefident GAIMANI, who has ar rived here, we learn, that fome difturbances have taken place in that city, in consequence of the fear. city of fpecie, which fetters all commercial rela tions. Two millions of pieces, of feven kreutzcrs, are about to be put in circulation at Venice.— Tranquillity is re-ellablithed in Croatia. LONDON.

They fill continue to be filled with details refpeaing the FIRST CONSU Os journey to Rouen. The Autho rities, Civil, Religious, and Military, vie with each other in expreffions of adulation, not only to Bo- Havaay c, but his Lady. One panegyrift, fpeak ing of the latter, obferved, that "the choice which the FIRST CONSUL had made was her greateft pa negyric." It would have been jull as well, how ever, if this mcmbcr of the family of the Shallow: had been filent on this point. In the addrefs of the ARCHBISHOP of ROUEN to Madame BONAPARTE, there is a curious pafrage, which feems to allude to the birth of the fon of Ma dame Louis BONAPARTE as a child of great pro mife. It feems as if it were expeEted to be the fucceffor of the- Comm!. ; for why fhould Madame BONAPARTE'S grandfon be the Scyon, " given to the willies and vows of the Clergy of Rouen ?" If this proves any thing, indeed, it proves either the wretched fycophancy of the Clergy, or the anxiety of the country for the eftabliffiment of fume re cormized line of fuceeffion. The intelligence from Switzerland is Rill con futed and contradiEtory. It appears, however, fufficiently evident, that the Diet of Schwitz Rill hold its fittings. A letter from Belle of the 26th ult. Rates, that the Diet had ordered the troops at Lucerne, under the command of General Aur DERMAUR, to march to Berne, and to recommence hoftilities a;, ; ainfl the Helvetic Troops, but that the army had- refufed to obey the order, and • had returned to their homes. Some battalions of French. troops were, according to a letter from Berne of the 27th, about to March to Zurich, where the patriots, as they are called in the intelligence from Berne, but in reality the French party, had been again arrefted. The Minifler, VERNINAC, is to remain at Parit, during the fittings of the Helvetic Goefe4.• in that capital, and General NET is in the mean time invefled with Diplomatic Powers in §witzerland. A ITanibuigh Mail arrived yeficrdav, another this morning. Sir J. B. WARREN had his firft audience of t: - Emperor ALEX ANDZR, on the 3d ult. On the 3d ult.

Sr. PkTERSBURCH, OCT. 13.--The cE:cer wounded himfelf in the Garden of the Imperial Palace having done it, in the opinion of the Com mittee appointed to examine into the affair, in or der to effeetuate certain wicked deligns, is fun tented by the Court Martial to be quartered alive. It now depends upon the Emperor alone to cot.- firm or mitigate the fentence. The Committee appointed to draw up a more appropriate plan for the Academies and Cniver faies, has terminated its labours. M. BOUSE, and Counfellor Fuss have each received from the Emperor a valuable brilliant ring. N. B. This is the fame Mr. Fuss of Laic, to whofe intercefflon with the Etnpercr, is faid to be owing the late mediation of the Ruff an Court, in favour of Switzerland. On the 9th ina. we had again an inundation— the Neva rote fevcn feet. The wind which accompanied it gives us rcafon to fear, that th ere has been a dreadful llorm at fea, and we look for the moll melancholy intelligence. STOCKHOLM, OCT. 1 9.—According to a Notice of the Royal Chamber, the Cuflom-houfe Duty on all foreign rye is reduced 4s. 6d. lower than Li the Tariff of 1799. But, befhles the duty fettled in the Tariff, all other kinds of corn mule pay a particular tax. This extends to corn brought from Pomerania and Wifmar. Wheat and rye•fiour, and oatmeal, pay according to the Tariff. Yefterday the ROYAL FAMILY attended Divine Service at St. George's Chapel, Windfor ; and afterwards took an excurtion to Frogmore. A part of the. Staff Corps is now employed in encloling 300 acres of Black Water Common, where Government intends Cu en:a the new Mili tary College. The fcite fixed on is about four miles beyond Baglhot. General HARCOURT, the Go vernor, occafsonally fuperintends the works, and as foon as they are completed, Wickomb and Marlow, the temporary fchools, will be given up. Mr. DAVEY has declined the fcrutiny at Nor wich, and' Mr. RIGBY was yeaerday fw'orn into office. A conciliatory dinner was given on 'Mid day, at which the friends of both Gentlemen were prefent. A Letter-bag is making up at the Fog-office for Egypt, Malta, &c. to be conveyed out in a day or two by the NIGER frigate. In our Paper of Saturday we announced the arrival of General ANDREOSSI and his fuite at one o'clock that morning. About ten, on the fame day, M. OTT° waited on his Excellency, at his houfe in Portland-place, and, official intimation of his arrival having previoufly been fent to Lord HAWKESSURT, the Amballador went at three o'clock in the afternoon to the Foreign Oiiice in Downing-greet, where he was introduced to the Secretary of State by M. 0 ran.
