H.B.hiaarr. PARIS. to MESSIDOR, JUNE 29. A letter from Arras mentions the following dr eurnitance :--Citizen Sr. REMY-CARETTE, mer chant in that place, had purchafed in 1794 tile boufe of the Es-Count BRANDT, an emigrant. In pulling down a part of the houfe there was found in it a (tn amounting to nearly 80,000 livres. On the return of this unfortunate family to their native country the generous Sr. REMY confulted nothing but his feelings; he made a prefent of the money and the houfe to its ancient proprietor. On the 7th Meflichr, June a 6, the CHIEF CON. aut. vifited the national manufaattre of porcelain at Sevres. He infpeofted with the utmoli minute 'refs and the liveliell intsrefi, during the courfe of an hour, this magnificent ellablifirment, which has given birth to an art in France which no other na• Von is able to rival. In an addrefs to the FIRST CONSUL, the mer chants of Lyons unite with the yell of the commer cial intereft throughout the country, in demand ing that the trade to India fhould be laid open, and that no privileged companies may be re-efta blifhed. " The creation of privileged companies, fay they, not only violates the principles, but ne celfarily compromifes the profperity of commerce. The experience of ages has proved that all privi leged companies are ruinous. England itfelf would not have derived greater benefit from them, if the bad not united to the advantages of her commerce, thole that refulted from her fovereignty. Never were the French companies fo valuable or impor tant as thole which were eflablifhed in the EA, from the year 1773 to 1779, by individual (pecu lators. In all cafes it is obfervable that i.rivileged bodies abufe their monopoly in promoting their own interefts, without any confideration to thofe of France. Exclu five privileges would, above all, be difaltrous to the manufactures of Lyons, for it is admitted that individuals have the means of in troducing a greater quantity of our manufadures, fuch as gold wire, hats, cloths, &c. than any com pany can pacers. It is no lefs evident that indivi duals could, more effeditally than any company, import into France thole produdions of India which are necelfary for our manufadures." FROM THE PARIS PAPFRS. Natty:, Just 15.—We at length know for certain the territories which Pmllia will receive for her poifellions beyond the Rhine. They are-- 111. The Bilhopric of Hildethcim, in the Circle of Lower cony ; it contains about 54 fquare leagues, t cities, among which is Hildetheim, containing is e oco Inhabitants ; Peina and Ald fur towns, and 234 villages. This coun try, though I):ng within the Elefjorate of Hann ver and Duchy of Brunfwick, neverthelefs adjoins which forms pan of the dominions ,of our Son reign. It will be united to the department of M4gdebourg and ailberliadt. Its revenues amount to about 1,050,000 livres ; the country is fertile, and poifeffes confiderable commerce.— The Protettant and Catholic religions are both to lerated. ad. The Bilhopric of Paderborn, in Welipha lia. It contains about 34 fquare leagues, 23 fmall cities, one town, 136 villag-s, and about 60,000 inhabitants, and the revenues amount to about 24,000 livres. 3d. One third of the Bilhopric of Munner, con taining about 40,000 inhabitants. 4th. L'Eichsfeld in Thuringia, which hitherto belonged to the EleBor of Mentz. It contains 40 fquare leagues, four cities, and 162 towns and villages, with 74,000 inhabitants. The annual revenues are valued at 412,000 livres. sth. The city of Erfort, with its territory, which comprizes 16 fquare leagues, containing two cities. 73 towns and villages, and 41,677 in habitants. 6th. The Imperial city of Gofslar, in Lower Saxony, containing 6000 inhabitants. 7th. The Imperial cities of Mulhaufen and Nord- Laufen. The number of inhabitants in the former of thefe cities and its territories is 13,000, and the latter 9000 inhabitants. The whole of there indemnities contain 200 fquare leagues, and 600,000 inhabitants. His Pruffian Majefly will take poifeffion of there indem- Macs early in July. VIENNA, JuNe 26.--There is no longer any doubt that the Imperial and Aulic Counfellor, M. DE Serflittrr, who has laboured for eightecn months paft in the affairs of the Empire, has been re-called by the Court of Vienna, fince the indem nities to the Secular Princes, and the changes which are about to take place in Germany, have been definitively arranged. We are now Allred that the Deputation of the Empire will not affemble, and that the Diet of Ratilbon will purely and limply ratify the ar rangement decreed, which will be carried into execution without delay. The Mini(ler of State, Count de Cossirroxa., and the Count de MAVLATK, Minifter for the af fairs of Italy, have been fummoned to Prefburg, to confer with the Emperor on various important fubjees. The projea of our Court refpeeling the fepara don of a part of Hungary from that country, and incorporating it with Auftria, and compenfating the lots with a part of Venetian Dalmatia,-has proved fo little to the ta(te of the Members of the Hungarian Diet, that the propofition which had been confidentially communicated to the Diet has been withdrawn. Livouans, (Tuscany) Jens 15. —The Englifb have delivered up to France Porto Ferny), and the whole of the If of Elba. They alto evacu ated Mahon on the 27th of May. HAGUE, JUNE tsi,—News molt affliaing to the commerce of Amfterdam has been received there from Surinam, where the molt extraordinary rains, and above all the inundations, have deltroyed all the produiltions of the colony. The returns from all the plantations will be reduced this year to a mere trifle. The lilt news received from Batavia is more favourable.

Gov. Dcb. 991. on Loadem zz# 1. We yellerday received Paris journals to the ill. The Official Journal continues to publifk the ad dreires from the different departments, which are all equally favourable, indeed unanimous, for the Confulfhip during life. Net a fhadow of oppJfi tion appears. The French Government has publilhed a decree in the Monifrur, by which a proportion of the mi litary confcriptien, fettled by a late aft of the Le giflative Body, is to be extended to the 27th mili tary divillon, fuch being the ilrange circumlocu tion by which the annexation of Piedmont to France is difguifed. It is no doubt a whimsical metamorpholis that an ancient kingdom of Europe iltould thus glide from the obfervation of mankind, and form a union with the French Republic, un der the anomalous charatier of " a military divi lion." We cannot help remarking how irregular the ideas of the rights of the governed muff be in France when, without any legal fidion, without any form, however illufory, fo great a territory is adopted into France, by a mere Ad of the Execu. tive Power ; no Ati of the Legillature having paired ; no afertion of the right of conqueß being advanced; no mutual content of the two countries being pretended. The French Government have erelted a mer cantile depot at Marfeilles, under certain regula tions. The exportation of warlike implements, forbidden during the war, is again permitted. WINDSOR, pm,* LaR evening at fix o'clock, the Royal carriages paraded round the Caine, and about half an hour after they appeared oppofite the Qtgen'soLodge, in waiting for their MAJESTIES and the Pawls sss, who were on the eve of departure. The Prince's regiment of Light Horfe was drawn up on the Green, oppofite the houfe, and flanked by the Foot Guards, made a very fine appearance, muftering about too Wrong. At (even o'clock their MAJISTIES and the four PRINCESSIE fet off for Weymouth. On the carriages palling through the town, the bells, which were ringing a merry peal (for the rival elationeering Candidates), flopped until the Royal Family had pafled, as it would not have been feemly for the inhabitants to ring the Royal Perfonages out of the town. IVETMOUTN, yur.r 3. Her Royal Highnefs Prineefs AMELIA arrived here yellerday afternoon, at four o'clock, attended by Lady CATHCART, General GARTH, and Col. Frrzaoy. The Guards, on her Royal Highnefs's arrival, prefented arms, as a falute ; bnt did not fire on account of the Princefs being rather fa tigued by the journey. Their MAJESTIES, and the Princefres AUGUSTA, ELIZABETH, and Maar, arrived at half-paft feven this evening, in perfect health, being efcorted by a party of the Guards and the Scotch Greys. The Kelm was in high fpirits, and inquired of Captain NIA LI after the health of his Lady. His MAJESTY alfo converted with feveral of the young perfons rtfident in the town. The people greeted the ROYAL FAMILY with loud acclamations, re- I peatedly exclaiming . gg Long live the KING." The KING on his arriving at the town, had the hot-bath prepared for him. Her Royal Highnefs the Princefs CHARLOTTE of WALES refides viith oo theanintefs of ELGIN, in Gloucefter-row. The Princefs CHARLOTTE bathed this morning. There is but a fmall thew of Company at pre fent, owing molt likely to the General Election being fo near at hand i but when the Members are returned, we exped the Town will fill. The frigates ftationed here at prefent are the RESISTANCE, commanded by, the Hon. Captain WOODHOUSE, mad the BLANCHE, Capt. HAMMOND. This day and to-morrow the Eleetions take place in all the towns within an hundred miles of the metropolis • and in the courfe of this and next week, in t he whole of the towns throughout Eng land. We muft again remark, that few counties or populous places are contefted, while in the boroughs, the intrigues and oppofition exceed thofe of former times. With the exception of Middle fez, Kent, Effex, and Cambridge, there is no ap pearance of oppofition in any county. The Sheriffs fix the day of the elation for the counties, after receiving the writs. The Right Hon. Hsu RY Do If DAS arrived at Mel ville Can't, on Sunday fe'unight, from London. The Convention of the Royal Boroughs in Scotland, is to meet on the r3th infant. The election for two Members to ferve in Par liament for the Borough of Portfmouth is fixed for Wednefday next, when the Hon. THOMAS ERSCINE and Capt. MANAHAN, one of the Lords of the Admiralty, are expeeted to be chofen with out oppofition: nor can the choice fall on two Ge ntlemen more likely to difcharge the important truft with honour to themfelves and advantage to ' their country. Inflead of Mr. DAVISON entering into conteft for the reprefentation of any Borough, we are au thorifed to fay that that Gentleman has uniformly declined every invitation of coming into Parlia ment. Mr. EItAOCE and Sir F. EDEN have declared themfelves candidates for 81 WI. The public voice, however, is for Sir EDWAELD Ps LLEW, or Sir SYDNEY SMITH. EDW. MAY, Efq. is eleeed Sovereign of &Wan. The Dublin Papers Rate, that NAPPER TANDY has been appointed in France a General of Divi. lion, which is the fame rank as that of Lieute. nint-General in the Bridal fervice. The firft Company of Clackmannanlhire Vo- lunteers, under the command of Mr. GEDDES, of Alloa, were difembodied on the 24th ult. The Royal Manz Fencibles and the Bredalbane Fencibles have embarked from Belfalt, the firft for Whitehaven, the latter for Irvine. At Edinburgh, on Sunday fe'nnight, while the 42d regiment were drawn up on the Cali!c hill, and the roll called, Mon sts ua, and the Earl of Mont• with tome French Noblemen, were pre fent to fee there gallant veterans. The York Huffars, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Lowo,which have been fo long in barracks at Weymouth, failed from that place on the 3oth ult. for Cowes, in the Ifle of Wight; they are to embark for Cuxhaven, on their way to their dif ferent homes on the Continent. The following are the names of the Officers commanding the Artillery, arrived at Portfmouth in la Pulps from the Mediterranean: Captain WILLIAM MILLAR, Royal Artillery; Lieutenant W. R. GlkDINIlt, ditto; Lieutenant H. TRILAW- Nry, dittos Lieutenant Dirsom, Engineers; Capt. J. Tossow, sth Regiment ; Lieutenant LOFTS, ditto. General bum has retuned the command Of the Royal Marines at Chatham. On his return he was Melia Rochefter by the whole corps, who ac. companied hirn to the Barracks, with the band of mtific playing, amid(' the loudell acclamations of the populace, and the evening concluded with fire works and illuminations. Yefterday morning, at eight o'clock, the third regiment of Foot Guards, under the command of General Mt Lust, had a grand field day in Hyde Pat k. Lieut. Rai was on Saturday again brought be fore the Privy Council, by whom he was commit ted to Cold Baih Fields prifon to abide his trial. The feconds in this unhappy duel, Lieut. Disav owal. and Mr. Mamas, a puffer, are in the fame Af. CARNERIN'S BABOON. Some perfon or perfons were bale enough to cnt and damage M. GAlNEtis's baloon (with which he was to have afcended on Saturday) in feveral places on Thurfday evening, at the time it was exhibiting in the Pantheon, and it was only by the great exertions of a number of perfons fitting up all Friday night that it was repaired, and in a Rate fit to afcend on Saturday. Early on Satur day morning it was removed, with the parachute, to Lord's Cricket Ground, New-road, Mary-la. bonne. Every preparation was made for filling the baloon ; between eleven and twelve o'clock M. Gean ERIN arrived on the ground; it was then blowing a very firong gale at N. W. and M. G. expreffing tome alarm at the appearance of the weather, having fuffered fo much on his late af ' cent in confequenee of the boißerous weather, his friends preffed him to make up his mind before the doors were opened, as they affured him it was very material to the prefervation of order to de termine before any money was taken, upon which he begged for a fhort time to confider of it, and the doors were delayed being opened, and at length he detet mined not to go. Between twelve and one o'clock he left the ground, accompanied by Capt. Sowto tit, and the populace learning who they were, followed them to view their perfons. loon as poffible, after M. GARNERIN had made up his mind not to afcend, he fent a very polite letter to Sir Ric HARD FORD, informing him of his determination, in confequence of which Sir RICHARD fent a letter of difmiffal from duty to the Captain of the Guards who were Rationed there, but fent inftruflions to the Police Officers to remain there till after three o'clock. M. GAIINERIN took every potlible means to pre. vent the public from being dilappointed,by giving orders for a number of hand and pofting bills, in forming. the public of his having put off his afcent, to be printed and circulated with All poffible (peed. The fine fpeqacle prefenod by the late afc en t orelargdhuo excited arduous enter. an e of this celebrated aerrinat m ßliziea univerfal defire to beho rife of his defcent in the parachute, which was advertifed for Saturday. The people accordingly flocked from every fide towards Lord's Cricket Ground, and though bills were polled at the Pan. theon fo early as twelve o'clock, to fignify that the high wind rendered it neceffary to defer the afcent till Monday, yet "Wm Bull was Rill incredu: bus ; nor would he be convinced his day's fun was deferred, without ocular demonfiration. Th's furrounding eminces of the Jew's Harp Houfe, Primrofe Hill, &c. were covered with the diver& fled multitude: Baker-ftreet, and the other avenues leading from Oxford-ftreet to the New-road, were quite thronged with carriages and foot paffengers about three o'clock, when a torrent of rain poured on the unfortunate multitude, in which few had bad the prudence to provide againft it, though the? had fufficient notice of its approach by the gloomi nefs of the tity, and the fall of fe veral lighter !bowers in the earlier part of the day. Afceneof inconceiv able confulion immediately edited. Five or fix perfons crowded under every umbrella, and in their &niggles to thelter themfelves under it, without regarding who - was the right owner, derived no other advantage from it than receiving the rain in copious ftreatns, inftead - of feparate drops. Carts which had been hired out to fume who wifhed for an elevated fituation, became now fo many refer. voirs, and thofe who were in them wifhed in vain that they were inverted, while others crouched beneath them, without waiting to bargain with the owners for this unlooked for fpecies of accom. modation ; many fought refuge beneath the bo. dies of coaches, and coach-horfes, The female pedeftrians afforded a molt affeeting appearance of diftrefs ; abandoned in many inflances by their fwains, who, in this moment, thought only of themfelves, unwilling to rifk their muffins in the rude retreats, where the men were content to hide themfelves, they remained expofed to all the fury of the tempeft, which in a few minutes drenched that light and elegant drapery intended to float, not in the deluge that now deformed it, but in the gentleft breezes of the faireft morning, adding grace to the (live, which far from concealing, it could fcarcely be faid to cover. One advantage, indeed, was enjoyed, though poffibly not felt by thole whore drefs is but a fyitem of difplay ; their robes clung fo clofely to them that every variation of figure was perfally diftinguithable. The fair inhabitants of Baker-ftreet and Portman-fquare, being early apprifed of the pollponement of the afcent, remained at home, and confoled them (elves with beholding from their windows the ani mated caricature which feemed to be given to them as an indemnification. About three o'clock the balloon, in a wooden cafe, the parachute, and Al the apparatus, was removed in a cart from the Cricket Ground, with an intention of fafely lodging them in the Pan them. An immenfe concourie of people followed the cart, hilling and groaning all the way. This difapprobation was fuppofed to ariie florn M. Ga RN ERI tt having raid in his advertifements. which appeared before he ascended from Ranelagh, that he would afcend with the balloon, although the weather wag not favourable, but not defcend is the parachute, the condition of the weather being only as to his defcent in the parachute. 'Mica the cart arrived at the Pantheon the mob had in creafed to fuch a number fo as to render Oxford flreet impalfable, and the (hop-keepers near it were obliged to put up their fhutters, and the people became fo outrageous that they aaually prevented the ballon from being taken into the Pantheon, threatening to tear it to pieces. Information being fent to the Public-Office, Marlborough-flreet, of this dating attack, the Magiftrates difpatched a party of Officers, and on their arrival they found feveral of the mob with knives; Etc. about to break open the cafe which contained the balloon, with an intention of carrying their threats into execution, when one of the Officers fought his way through the mob, and got into the cart, and dared any of them to touch the ballon,when, with the Altana of the other Officers, the cart was driven to the Public Office, Marlborough-Rreet, where the bal loon, parachute, and all the apparatus, were foci) , L J :• RI ~_
