They (hall be welcomed by a difcharge of artillery. The barges (hall difplay a variety of naval evolutioa s before the Temple 6f Commerce. The Temple (hall re ' found with flourithes of trumpets, and fongs of rejoicing. At five o'clock the illumination of the bridges, of the quays, and of Place de la Concorde ball take place. Dances ILI: begin at the fame time in the halls prepared for the purpofe in the Place de la Concorde.. At fix o'clock will be difplayed a pantomimic fpeaacle in the grand Theatre. All nations (hall appe-s armed, the one againfl the other, and the teems will be diverfified by a fucceflion of military evolutions, affaults, marches and combats. This is to form a piaure of the horrorOof war. There miferics ceafe ; a difcharge of artillery announces the happy event. The military conftruttions which decorated the lower part of the Theatre are de flroyed. The milder light which illuminates the fcene, leaves in profpea the Temples of Peace, of the Fine Arts, and of Commerce. A hymn to peace fiicceeds—a ballet compofed of all nations re conciled doles the fpeaacle. At nine in the even ing a grand difplay of fire-works on the river, in the Temple of Commerce, diverfifies the nppear ance of the Feftival. The barges illuminated then go through various evolutions : and the reft of the night is fpent in dancing. The FIRST CONSUL, on the night of the arrival of the courier who btotight the Ratification of the POPE'S Concordat, made a prefcot of three fnuff boxes, fet with diamonds, to the Plenipotentiaries whom the Pore employed on that oecafion. THE LAST Two Yr rots.—The 16th Odlober is a day which will long be famous in the feflivals of the French Republic. On this day General Bo- NAPARTE arrived at Paris from Egypt. Two years have fiace elapfed, and thefe two years have fur nillied to France a greater number of glorious epochs than the moil renowned empires of the world can prefent during many ages of fplendour. When a comparifon is made between our Felon fituation, and that in which we were two years ago, it is enough to be Frenchmen to be fired with fentiments of exultation and enthitfiafm ; and to give way to refpea and afloniibment, it is enough to be men. . Who was the true Republican, the fincere friend of his country, the man devoted to the revolution, who did not forefee then the deftralion of his dear dl hopes, the total eriation of the principles of liberty, the debafement and perhaps the diforgani xation of the focial body ? Victory herfelf had for fome time abandoned our flandards ; the coalition of the Powers of Europe watreore firietly united ; the flames of civil war again raged in La Ven dee ; a phrenfy feemed to have foxed the Legifla tors themfelves ; the law of hollages,that of forced loans, and various others which It is affliding to think of, attefled the difregard of public faith and filled the heart of every Citizen with dillruft and defpair : The fyftetn of terror, ever on the watch to refume its empire, began to re-appear under the molt hideous fhapcs ; a few months more and our liberty, our glory, and our indepenclance were ' gone for ever. Such a change has taken place in our fituation, that when that jult deferibed is recollected, it ap pears that the memory mat go back fcveral ages, and it is but two years! BONAPARTE arrives!— What exertions, what fuccelles, what profperity enfued! Ye who remain unmoved by the prefent condition of your country, anfwer if you let any value upon aconftitution at once favourable to li berty, and to the permanence of the power which governs ?—Do you think there is any thing in the fudden creation of four armies for the palfage of the Alps, for the deliverance of Italy, for the vic tory of Marengo, for the trophies railed upon the Rhine and on the Danube ? Have you heard of the pacification of La Vendee, of the retreat of the Ruffians, of the peace of Luneville, of the tran quillity of the interior, of the union of parties, of the oblivion of former animolities, of the revival of commerce, of the re-eflablifhment of the finan ces ? Have you reflected on the difarmament of England, the reflitution of your colonies, the jut- Lice you have procured for your allies, the enfran chifement of the Milanefe, of the honour of giving, at your pleafure, a government to Tufcany ? Would you have believed, in fine, that in lets than two years the fame decade would have witnellcd the publication of a glorious peace with England, with Portugal, and with Ruflia ; that in leis than two years you would not have an enemy on the face of the globe, and every :tate in Europe would be proud of your alliance and your ft iendfhip ? Let the iath July then, and the t fah Odoher, • be for ever facred epochs for the Republic ! The • one we owe .o the genius of the nation, the other to the genius of a great man ; the one conquered liberty, by the other liberty will be confolidated ; • the one produced a total change, and by the other • every thing is confirmed. Ltt there be engraved in knees of gold in our annals, and in the annals ' of every nation alive to heroilm, to the grandeur and the dic.ity of the rights of man!

The a!)ove news was announced yeflerday in all the Theatres.—The publication began this morn ing in all the fquarc, and public places of Paris. Orders have been ilfucd within thefe few days fur the cefTation of hoftilities. . _ The Minifter of Marine has given orders for dif arming the light flotilla ; this difarmanient is to take place in the port of Dunkirk. All the crews of v acts belonging to the Republic are to be put on the peace eflablifliment. All theletters of marque which were formerly iffued have been annulled. The following is the order to he obferved in the celebration of the Grand Feßival on the 9th No vember, on occafion of the conclufion of Peace : The places defined for the Fete are the Pont Ncuf, le Pont des Tbuilleties, lc Pont (lc la Concorde, the river, and the nuays hetwizt tilde three brid ges the Thitilletics, and the Place de la Con corde. The inhabitants 'hill illuminate the front of their houfes. The bridges, the quays, and the Thalterics thall be adc•rn=l with trJrhi:s,and with ~_ omits. T. We have already given the articles of the Con fiitution of St. Domingo ; we will add, that St. Domingo, in all its extent, with Samana, LaTor sue, Guava, the Caemites, Cow Wand, La Saone, and the adjacent Viands, form the territory of a Colony, which compotes part of the French Em pire, but which is fubjea to its own laws : the pay of the Governor is 300,000 francs, his Guard of Ceremony is at the expence o f the Colony. They write from Stuttgard, that the doubt in which they have been for fume time refpeeling the fituation of Belgrade begins to be cleared up. We have had a variety of reports about PASWANOOLU: one day he was at Belgrade, next day he was dead, and the day after he was at the gates of Confiantinople. In a word, every report, how ever ridiculous or abfurd, was propagated and be lieved. The Porte preferves a (kid Illeoce upon the fubjea, and leaves the punifhment of the rebels to time. This certainly is a mark of policy, but the Porte has hitherto Caballed by this policy ; and if the European Powers refpea its independency, it will fall (abaft a long time. For the laft fifty years this Empire has been - aid to be falling to pieces—but it has not yet fallen. PROM THE PARIS PAPERS. DIE etc, Ocr. Englifli packet-boat has juft arrived. in this port : it is the &ill that has ar rived fence the Peace in any French port, except Calais. The rad is the Three Sifters, Captain BALSER. The crowd upon the feafide was ini menfe, who demonftrated the greateft joy. The Captain drank with us on the reconciliation of the, two nations. BERLIN. OCT. 7.—We expetb M. VON DOH 14 early in this capital. He is called hither to re ceive further orders refpefting the affair s of Mun her. For thefe few days pelt conferences have been held between Count HAIJOW IT Z with the French and Anftrian Minifters. They are raid to relate to the eleftions of Munfter and Cologne. The pro-. motion of the General Officers, which takes place after every Review, has not yet taken place. The King has not been pleafed with the chief mattleu vres. This is no doubt the caufe of the• delay. RA TI saom, Ocr. s.—,Tefterday the Fears of the Emperor was celebrated here : a triple difcharge of cannon took place on the occafion. The Rati fication of. the Conclufum of the Diet is impatient ly expected from Vienna. We hope that our city will have the honour to be the feat of the Depu tation. The wagers and prediftions on the fob. jeft of the Couriers between Vienna and Berlin, are of a nature to amufe thofe who can find di verfion in the follies of human beings. The affair of the indemnities oc.:upies the minds of oar poli ticians, and gives rife to as many follies, as the parties interetted entertain hopes and wilhcs. LONDON. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12.

The intelligence had been forward ed cxprefs from Conftantinople. A few mor.ths ago fuch news would have been of much importance, but now it is comparatively unintcrefting. Yefterday the following communication from Mr. ADDINGTON was made to the Chairman of the Merchants Committee, on the fubjett of the Con voy Duty:— " The Attorney and Solicitor-General are of opinion, that the Aet 38 Geo. 111. ch. 7t. mutt be confidered no longer in force ; but as having ex pired on the figning of the Preliminary Articles of Peace with the French Republic. The Convoy Duty will confequently no longer be demanded." Laft night Paris journals to the 18th inttant, in clufive, came to band. They announce, what affliAed Humanity has long panted for, the relic)- , ration of GENERAL PEACE. On the 9th inflarit, Preliminaries of Peace were figned between the French Republic and the Otto mon Porte, which is thus left a little breathing time, till fome new political movement !hall bring againd it a more Northern Neighbour. By this treaty every thing is reftored to the fituation in which it flood previous to the war: Egypt is to be evacuated, and France placed in regard to every privilege enjoyed in that country by foreign nations on the footing of the molt I favoured.
