• .FRANCE. PARIS, 8 BRUNIAME, OCTOBER 3ey. The FIRST CONSUL did not fet out Ain yeller- Jay morning ; Le was to flap to-night at Evreux. The Mintier of the Marine is to join him there, and accompany him in vifiting the ports. OCTOtiER 3t.—The FIRST CONSUL remained for a length of time on the field of the battle of Ivrv. The Mayor and the principal inhaLitants of the Commone pointed out to him the different puli t':ons if the two armies. He gave orders that the pyramid winch had been ereLcied on the field of battle, but which was deliroyed during the Revo bn,rii, fhould be re-eliablithed. all ordered that an infcription thould be engraved on it, thewing that the calansities which Fr nee experienced at that period, were the con lequences of an appeal made by the parties which t:tt.n divided France, to the Spanilh and Englilh -attons ; and that every family, and every party, who call in foreign powers to their Alliance, do deferve, and mutt always deferve the maledidions of the French people. The following fpeech was addreffed to the Ft ssr Co' SUL by the Mayor of Ivry: s kncral First Cupful—The Commune of Ivry could never have expesned to receive wit Lin its bolbm the Hero of France .:nti the •Jaor ..f Europe. Your exploits, General Firft Vonful, refrefik it, recollection of thofe of a conqueror, who hers.tofure, in the pl..in whore name this Commune bears, fue ceeded, as you have clone, in conquering and immortalizing hitufelf. The fendments which arife in your mind, General Ccaful, whle your eyes Currey this feene, are well worthy of tie high deeds of which it has been the theatre, and they will :aiimis upon the heart of potteray the remembrance of two wrat men. The FIRST CONSUL arrived at Evrenx, about four o'clock in the afternoon. The Mayor pre fented him the keys of the town : it were vain to attempt to del:6l;e the tentiments of attachment and gratitude which the inhabitants endeavoured to manifeft as he paffed through. He examined vet y minutely the manufa6tures of Louviers, more rfpLeially that of Citizen Dccretot. From Pont de-I2Arche, he proceeded to the copper works at Romilly, to which he paid much attention. He diaributed among the workmen at the manufaaories which he infpeded, very liberal and extraordinary gratifications. At Evreux twenty young Ladies, about the age of i z years, were prefented to MadameßoNevaave, and complimented her in a variety of poetical ef fufions. The certainty of feeing the FIRSTCOWSUL among them has filled the inhabitants of the city of Rouen with the molt joyful exultation. The Minifter of the Interior admitted the different Conftituted Au thorities to an audience, all of whom were highly pleated with their reception. It was obfcrved to him by Citizen VALLEH, a manufacturer at Cauchoife, that a very ruinous contraband, to the profperity of French manufac tures, was carried on along the Rhine and the Scheldt ; to which the Minifter replied, " that the molt efficacious meafures had been adopted to pre vent the introduction of foreign manufaCtures, and that ere long the national manufactures mutt be leen to feel the falutary effeets of thefe meafures." A deputation from the Society of iiciences, of Letters and ofArts,was alto admitted, and a fpeech was addreffed in their name to the Minifter, who among many other complimentary and pertinent oblervations, made the following in his anfwer to them—" I am fully fenfible of the intereft which your city is intitled to create. It is for the Repub. lie what Manchelter and Birmingham are to Eng land. Let the Society, therefore, bend all their endeavours towards the ufeful arts ; it is the molt infallible means they can employ to fecure them cl4ims to the gratitude of their fellow citizens." The FIRST CONSUL was expeded at Rouen yef terday. " One hundred young men (fays a letter from thence of the 29th), formed into a company of horfe, arc atrembled at this moment, and only wait for the arrival of the courier, who is to an nounce the hour of his arrival. Their uniform is the frock and pantaloons, yellow buttons, French hat, with a plume of feathers, and a belt. The Clamber of Commerce, and all the merchants, are affembled to give the FIRST CONSUL a fete in their hall." M. DE CALONNE is dead. An anecdote has been circulated which recals him forcibly to the recollec tion of the public, and which the circumflances of the prefent moment render particularly interefling: When Lours XVI. went to Cherbourg, M. nE CALONNE, by a plan as novel as it was gene rous, had, without the knowledge of the KING, prepared a map of the road which the KING was tr. talre. This map was taken from the lateft au thorities, and the feveral villages, country feats, farms and woods, were feverally laid down. M. CALONNE had added to it the names of the pro- ptietors, with fuch a notice of their character as could not fail to aural the attention of the KING, I wto might thus be enabled to aft towards them as their merit and fervices required. This excited the curprife of the courtiers by whom his MAJESTY was accompanied, and by thofe who experienced the effects of M. DE CA LON Pi E's kiiidnefs, the bene ficence of the alteration was fully acknowledged." The news from Switzerland fives, that the Diet (,f Schwitz has written a letter dated the I ith to General RAPP, to exprefs to him their thanks for having liflened to there prefentations of their De- PFYFFER and FRECILER, who gave him a kt:,fr to the FIRST CONSUL. The foll owing - is an extract of the note which Colonel PFYFFER wrote, cn the demand of General RAPP, to whom he had given verbal airurances expreiFive of the fentiments of tile Diet with refpeet to General RA. r : The Swifs Diet at Schwitz has charged me to make known to Gcnsial Rapp, that thty are allured the Firft - Conful will abandon, after he receives the letter addreffed to him, the fatal iniprcflion which has hcen attempted to be made upon his mind, with refpera to the hate of anarchy and fadlon in which kt might believe that Switzerland is at prefent. f the Firit Conful perfift in fulfilling the verbal menaces which General Rapp bas madein his name, of fending 4cpco r.lcn into Steitz: rlaiitl, I have the honour to acquaint the Ge nera!, that we thall yield to !wee, and that no one thinks of con tending with the yower of tbc Firft Conful; but there remain in our pet Mon arms which he himfeif eltcem.—.they are, the Jus - rice or OUR CAUIt, TNZ voice OIP 1 N !

Thofe which were paid them . at Berne were by order of General RAPP. Thecom• niandant of the place having refufed to gibe orders for them, he was difmiffed, and the commnnd of the pl ice given to Citizen PEAR A. The DiCt. iif Schwitz fits in the open air, in the midit of a fquare battalion, armed with lances, and the Morgenfternen. It has come to a great number of refolutions, which, Pays a Berne Journal, we cannot communicate to our readers, on ac count of the language ufed againtt the Helvetic Government. Letters from Berne of the 24th of 04tober Rate, that on the evening of the 22d the French troops entered that place. On the 24th, from three to four thoufand men were ezpeded from Hunin guen, who were to be garrifoned at Arau and Zurich. The Canton of Lucerne has declared its oppo fition to the meafures of the Diet of Schwitz in the moft unequivocal manner. The provifional Government of this Canton, to free itfelf from all refponfibility which its illegal and counter re volutionary condkt might have produced, fum moned all the Municipalities of the Canton to affift at its deliberations. This invitation was refufed on the part of the Municipalities, and they de clared that they walled to have no fort of connec tion with the deliberations of an unconulitutional body. In fpite of the menaces of the troops of the fmaller Cantons, who fupport the operations of the counter-revolutionary authorities, they have perfifted in their rcfufal, and the citizens of the City and Canton have put themfelves in a polture to fupport this determination. In the Cantons of Lugano and Bellinzona the Helvetic Authorities have been re-eitablithed in their fuklions. The Extraordinary Deputation of the Empire held on the 2at its ath fitting, and definitively adopted the general plan of indemnities. Baron D'OMPTEDA, the Electoral Minifter of Brunfwick, received at the fame time the official news that the Court of London had made arrangements with the French Government relative to the ftipulations of the plan in favour of the Imperial towns of Bremen and Hamburgh. The Note which the Imperial Plenipotentiary addreffed to the Deputation informing them of his acceffion to the Conclufums of the 16th, runs as follows : The Minifter Plenipotentiary of his Imperial Majefty dif covers in the two Conclufums that have been communicated to him on the part of the Deputation of the Empire, propofitions well calculated to prepare the fpeedy and definitive arrangement of the objedis referved by the Treaty of Luneville for a parti cular Convention. Always ready to contribute, on his part, with a fincere zeal to that fpeedy arrangement, he has in pur fuancc of. thefe propolitions under a reftrietion, however, conformable, no doubt, to the intentions of the Deputation, refpeeting the adminiftration of the objeas aifigaed as indemni ties to the Counts of the Empire, addreffed without delay a let ter, a copy of which is annexed, to the Duke of Wirteraberg and the Margrave of Baden; as likewife the two notes, copies of which arc annexed, to the Minifters of the Mediating powers. (Signed) lASON Di 111./OiL. Ratifbon, i Bth O& 1802. The reftrietion of which mention is made in this declaration, has for objet to prevent the taking polliffion.of the Indemnities to the Counts of the Empire from being made only provifional, and to defer the effeftive adminiftration until the moment when that adminiftration than be general ly granted to the States to be indemnified. Recent letters from Naples Rate, that after the return of the Hereditary Prince and his Royal Confort from Barcelona, the KING and (Z E E E N of the Two Sicilies will fet out on a vifit to their CATHOLIC MAJESTIES, and that during their ab fence the Hereditary Prince will be entrufted with the adminiftration on the fame footing as when he was Regent during the time that his Royal Father retired to Palermo. The news of the death of the Duke of Pewee appears to have arrived at St. Cloud very oppor tunely, for that event took place on the very day when the Ruffian Mini fter had begun to fpcak with firmnefs upon the union of Piedmont, and the non-execution of the promifcs made to the Houfe of Savoy. It is fuppofed that the Duchy of Parma will furuifh an indemnity to that Houfe by joining to it a diftria from the Italian Republic, and per haps the three Legations. It is known that the duchy of Parma, after the Treaty of Madrid, which promifed to erect Tufcany into a kingdom in exchange for Louifiana , remained difpofeable at theyill - of France. Since that time Spain made many efforts and facrifices to keep the Duchy for the reigning Infant, whom it would have been in decent to have expelled in confequence of an ar rangement which gave a throne to his fon. The death of the Infant feems to cut this difficulty, and affords a (mall State and a great Palace for a Royal Houfe dethroned. BERN E, OCTOBER 25.—General NIT attended this morning at the Sitting of the Senate. He rnanifefted tentiments the molt favourable to the Helvetic Republic, and a ff ured the Government that he thould len d every neceffary affillance for the re-eftablithment of order and tranquility. The Senate came to the following decree : On the meffage of the Executive Council, and having heard their Commiftion of the Interior ; eonfidering moreover, that by virtue of the Pro clamation of the FIRST CoNsw. of the French Re public, of the BthVendemiaire, ( July 27) each Can ton may fend deputies to Paris, in order to make known the means of reftoring concord and tran quility, and of conciliating all parties ; confider ing, betides, that it is neceffary that ibme plan thould be adopted for fo methodizing the execu tion of this meafure, that the legality of the forms may be eatily made to coincide with the freedom of opinion, it is ordered, 'flat the National Prefeas of the 18 Cantons (hail con voke together divine the coo* of the firft w ek of November nett, for a day to be fixed on, an the Citizens who have been Members of the Cantonal Diets of the tit Augult, ad, The Citialens, thus reunited, dtci•'e whether their refpeetive Cantons are to fend Deputies to Paris in their mime, and at their expence 1 and if fo, they (hall determine on their number, and proceed to their appgintment. 3d, The Senate does not hereby deprive the Communes of the privikge of appointing the Deputies at their own elliciace, . . . . . . . . . _ 4th, Each ifose fo appotatd &Al receive ft om the Agreea bly the ad otitis appointment, which (hall be duly authenticat ed by the National Prefedt apd the Secretary ut State tur Eu. reign Affairs. sth, The Deputies than be at Paris on the isth November nest. The difpofitions further neceitary for the execution of the prefent decree arc left to the dikretion of the Executive Council. Immediately after the iffuing of this decree, the Senate appointed its Deputies. The choice fell upon Citizens RUTHMANN,PIDON, MULLER-FRIEL• sexc—a choice which every man of fenfe mull applaud. The Diet of Schwitz is not as yet diffolv ed. It continues to look upon itfelf as the central autho rity of Helvetia. Poilerior to its fubmillion, it addreffed a circular letter to moil of the Cantons, inviting them to fend off their contingents for the Weft of Switzerland, and to continue the Confe derate Funaionaries in their employments. It has alfo addreffed to the &it Fundionaries of each Canton a Prota, which they are to deliver in the name of their Cantons, to the French Commanders who may enter tjiem. LAUSANNE, OCTOBER 26.—Advices are received that the Diet of Schwitz, being apprized of the entrance of the French troops into Switzerland, has dilfolved itfelf, accompanying the proceeding with a declaration explanatory of their motives, their fentiments, and their regret. ( Nouvellyie Vassdur. PRIVATE LETTER, PARIS, OCTOBER 30. On Wednefday laft BONAPARTE infpeded the Boys at the Prytanee, at St. Cyr. The Cow suc was efcorted by a detachment of his Corps of Guides, and attended by his Aides-de-Camp Ma dame ' BONAPARTE was attended by General CAF• ream.' ' and her daughter by another French General. They were all at St. Cyr by one o'clock. The CoNst/c law the Boys go through all their mi- i litary exercife, and then fpoke to feveral of them, examining them himfelf with the molt patient at tention, particularly thole who were in the ma thematical clafs, and giving them every affurance of his prote&ion. He advifed them to make the belt ufe of their time ; told them that he himfelf was thrown on the world at fixteen years of age, and had often had reafon to lament the timelle loft when he might leave ftudied. He then visited the Infirmary. Madame BONAPARTE and her daughter had chairs placed for them in the garden, but fcarce were they at any time feated when he would change his pofition, and confequently they were obliged to follow him. After palling five hours and an half in this manner, he fuddcnly called out, " Let's take bode," was mounted in an inftant, and almoft as loon out of light. The ladies let off immediately alfo, the honks that drew them in a gallop. Whenever there is an in fpedion of the military, or any thing of a military nature, no notice is given till an hour or two be fore. The laft time BONAPARTE meant to have vifited the Military School at St. Cyr, he under-1 Rood that he was expeded ; this ftopt him effec tually for three months afterwards. His motions are always rapid, and very often uncertain. Few people (peak here of an event which is, however, of importance in the eyes of thole who are at all acquainted with the defigns and thoughts of the FIRST CONSUL. This event is the birth of a fon to his brother. Madame Louts BONAPARTE Is, of all the ladies of Paris, one d i the molt virtuous and belt concluded. She leads a very retired life, and is always in the bofom of her family. The greater part of the plans rela tato the choice, appointment, and eventual in tion of fumfor, detailed with much care and complaifance in ;he lait Senatus Confukum, have.all a reference to a nephew whom he fhould educate himfelf, and who would be from 20 to 25 years of age at a period when the FIRST CON sin, might be (till of an age to govern and dired a Rate. BONAPARTE is 34, and of courfe the in fant who is juft born would be 24 when the FIRST CONSUL would be 58. One feels how uncertain mutt be the execution of filch a plan. But one feels alfo that a fimple poffibility is all that is necelfary to produce great combinations in the minds of men who are powerful, ardent, and for tunate. They Teem to think that all tha is poffible is a debt which Fortune owes, and dill pay them. It is Paid that the Goervative Senate, as it is termed, which has had fo large a :hare in the po. litical change: of the laft three months, is now about to make a material change in its own body, and, as you may fuppofe, for its own benefit. There are to be fixty places in the Senate, called Senatore rier, the holders of which are to have un leukemia double—twice the amount of their prefent falaries ! It was at firft propofed that thefe places fliould be occupied according to feniority, but •the Govern ment, that is to fay the FIRST CONSUL, unwilling to lofe any poffible afcendancy in any quarter, tn. fitted that they should be at his difpofal ; and fo the matter has been decided ! It is Paid of FOUCHE, the late Minifter of the Police, that on the day before his abforption, but when he was certain of his fall, he fent a mefflige to the keepers of the gaming houfes in the Falai: Royal, peremptorily demanding the fum of t 00,000 au:. Under the fear of his power and the hope of his proteaion, the money (ia,gool.) was railed and fent within a few hours. The next day they learned that 'the powers of their friend and pro teetor were gone On the firft appearance of an Enah Paper, en titled the Argru, the Officers of the Police entered the office, and made a feizure of all the copies, there being an exprefs law, which prohibits the eftablifhment of a newfpaper without the permit . - lion of Government. It appears, however, that this interference, on the part of the Police, ori• ginated in a miftake,as the copies feized have fince been returned to the office, and the paper permit red to proceed. TALLF Y RAND wrote a very angry letter on the fubjea to the Prefea of the Police.— The reply of the latter is couched in terms of the moll abjea fervility, and the Prffebi further pro- miles to give the paper every affiftance in his power. It is evident that the Argil, has the fanaion of the French Government. Indeed the mere perufal of its contents is fufficient to authorize this cohjec ture, as it is molt pointedly feiere dit, ch.

If the Moniteur gives a faithful ortri which it refers. We think indeed, that the Flaw Cos sox. hadbetter have faid nothing at allabout the wars of the League. The grand leffon afforded by thcfe deteltable wars, is the mffehief•which France fuffered from oppo fi ng the tide of her la w f u l So. vermin to his Throne. Certainly no part of the calamities which then exifted can be imputed to the Englifh, who gave a molt important aid to HENRY IV. for which he was ever grateful, and of the utility of which the French Nation muff have been fully finable. The affiftance which ELIZABETH gave HENRY 314 his party, was aS wife and liberal as the motives of PHILIP 11. in aiding the fadtious Nobles of the League, were difhonourable. His condud was a bafe mixture of bigotry and ambition. Nevqthelefs the general confequence, deduced accurately from the hifinry of there times, is certainly extremely juft in itfeli, and it is applicable to all nations. 66 Every fa . • . mily, every party which calls in foreign powers to its aid, has deferved, and muff deferve, the male di6tion of its country." Nothing can be more true as a geperal maxim. But let it not be loft in ge neralities. We have an application quite ready . for it. Does General Borapmers think that this fine fentence of his has no application_ to the Swifs ? If there be 44 a family or a party:there," who have been bafe enough to call in ha aid, do they not deferve the malediction of their - country, folly as much as the Quifir and the *emu, who brought in PHILIP 11. to fettle their 66 family" quarrels Although the accounts from Switzerland are very vague, it appears that French troops have entered all the acceffible points of Switzerland; doubts remain how far the Diet of Schwitz hat diffolved itfelf. We are inclined to think, that in relation to the objeds for which it was formed, previous to the avowed aggreffion and actual inva lion by the Confular troops, the Diet is diffolved. It would be in vain to continue affembled for the purpofe of peaceably fettling a Government, when the country is feized by a foreign enemy. Legit ' lation is for the moment abandoned ; but there is reafon to think that the Democratic Cantons are meditating refiffance. Thiy certainly have not fubmitted, as the Canton of Berne ; they maintain a fullen dignity, and feem to yield to fate rather than to crouch before tyranny. Upon this occa lion we cannot but remind all Governments of the important lefron which the prefent occurrences in Switzerland afford. In the fmaller, or Democra tic Cantons, where the whole people (hared in political privileges, the ardour of patriotifm, the hatred of a foreign yoke, are univerfal. In the Ariflocratic Cantons, the people, feeling lets in tereff in their country and its independence, have with lets reluctance fubmitted. They wifhed in dependence, but . hey had not the fame energy of chara&er and motive of intereft to defend it. Its the terrible day of invafion, let it be remembered that a country can only be preferved by men who (hare its full protection , and a Conftitution upheld by thole who are admitted to its political privileges. The Senate, or French Government at Berne, has iffued a Decree about fending Deputies to Paris.' It requires all the Cantons to fend De puties ; and it is liberal fo far as it authorifes the Communes or fmaller Diftridts to fe nd De p uties, at their own expence, to fpeak their particular fentiments. Although the French troops have entered the open country, they have not attempted to enter the mountainous diaries where they may be oppcf ed. We arc extremely anxious to know what are the real intentions of the patriot s of Schwitz,thi, and Underwald.
