T'ITERSSURGH, AUGUST 10.--Ite well known magnanimity of our Eurtaoa, who has nothing fo much at heart as to lighten, as far as poffible, the lunation of the pooreß and molt unfortunate part of his people, has had the good effect of ex citing fimilar fentiments in the hearts of many of his abjeas. At the laft atfembly in Revel, M. DE BERG exerted himfelf very much to improve the condition of the Peafants of Efthonia, by volun tary regulations on the part of the Nobility. He has finer received from the EMPEROR the Order of St. Anne, of the fecond clafs. Two other Ef thonian Noblemen, M. M. as Lswis, and Ds SraccsLsrao, have laid before the Eurssom fimilar plans for improving the condition of the Peafants of their Province, and as a teftimony of his gracious approbation have received each a pre fent of a valuable Ring. FRANCE. PARIS, SEPTEMBER 4. It is pofitiveTY afferted that the part of the Duchy of Cleves, which is fituated on the left bank of the Rhine, is to be ceded to the Batavian • Reptiblic for the film of ten millions of florins. Letters from Augfburgh, of the 57th ult. Rate, that the Bavarian troops were, by that time, in complete pofeffion of the territories devolved as an Indemnity upon their Sovereign. Adutant-General DOMADI M t who was con fined fix months in the Temple, has been liberated, and is appointed on General Butisanorre's Etat- Major for Louifiana. The Government of the Italian Republic has promulgated the law which places in a Rate of activity the National Inßitute, created by the Con- Ititution. The Members amount to 60, of whom po have falaries, and 3o are honorary. The falary is tsoo livres a year; that of the Secretary is 4000 livres, and of the Vice Secretary 2500 livres. The fubjeft of the re-eßablifhment of commer cial relations between England and France engages the attention of all the commercial towns in the Republic, from which the Government have re quired memorials and Ratements that &all affiß their judgment. The Commiffion of 'Commerce of the manufacturing town of Louvier have tent the following letter to the Editor of a demi-official Mar:— " ALEXANDIL nit FONTINAT has fubinitted to the Government tome reflections upon the treaty of 1786, upon the Rate of the Englith and French manufatturers. He has pointed out tome of the eaufes which Rate that the Englifh may ellablith in France feveral objects of manufaanre on better terms than they colt the French workmen. He addi, that while the Engin would prohibit the export of raw materials, and give bounties of 13 , and 20 per cent. upon manufactured Ruffs, our 'manufactures would not be protected by import duties exceeding fix, per cent. The journal de Paris pretends that,, this memo rial has for its objectto prove that Fratice ought— t. To prohibit the exportation of all raw mate rials, and give bounties upon the exportation of merchandife made in France. a. To prohibit the importation of manufactures made in England, and give bounties upon the im port of raw materials from the fame country. Da FORTISAT does not make any of there de stands. .The fame j ournal adds, that if the prin ciples long adopted in England were adopted in ' France, they would loon be to in Germany, in Ruffia, Spain, Holland, &c.—that then the phrafe essassercial reelassatioar would be banifhed from all languages. One might believe, according to the journal de Petrie, that the countries which it cites, admit the introduction of the produce of foreign iadußry, duty free. Nothing is more falfe ; feveral prohibit • fuch produce, and there is not one that does not fubjea them to heavy duties; the Yoram! de Paris cannot cite a great Rate in Europe that admits, duty free, all the articles made in a foreign country. There is no Sovereign that has not adopted the ptinciples of the Great FARDIRIC; the ceconomills have abilities, be aid, I read them with pleafore, but I will guard agaitiß following their councils ; in fix months they would ruin my Rates. By the fads which A. Ds Folll'2ll2l' cites, lie proves that the manufacture of cotton did not produce in England, forty years ago, five millions of pieces; that the amount for the !aft fifteen years has been yearly more than 400 millions. To encourage the manufactures, the EngliffiGo. varnment facrifices yearly more than (evenly mil lions to the perfons who breed 'beep 0 . To encourage the breed of fheep, in order to make our manufactures profper, Di FONTS NAY thinks that the Government ought not to fpend a crown ; that it has only duties to receive. If we were to follow the Counfels of the journal a Paris, our workmen would be deprived of woribour manufactures would be ruined, the debts ' of England would be paid by France in a few ran. If we believe Ds FONTIMIAT, our 0120 U• &urge would be in a few years what they were formerly, the full in Europe. The French Co. vernment can alone decide upon the unafures ne eefary to the profperity of the State. The addrefs isitiowthy the hfenlbets of the Corpminion. PRIVATE LETTEIL.PARIS, SEPT• 3• de The number of Englith at prdent in this Capi tar is aitonithing, and every public place of amnfe went ought to acknowledge their fupport a amongft public charaiters we have obferved Kestst.s and Bowan, generally fpeaators at the French Co medy—KaLLY and VIOANONI at the Italian Opera —Sir Jona GaLLINI, WILLS, and Lswats, (of Edinburgh), at the French Opera, (or Theatre des Arts), but more frequently at Cot/Loa's Salk de Dassfe, who has the training of the Blew de POp ra—At the Louvre W srr and Opts take the lead of the other artifls ; their remarks and criticirms are eagerly fought after. If the rage Ihould be as great in England after French failuoas, Reps and dances, as thofe of England are here, they will have no caufe to regret their expence of coming over to acquire them. _ _ ‘. Yefterday BONAPARTS made his monthly ap pearance in public. There was a grand review in the Place de Caroufel of all the troops quarter ed in the Metropolis. Seldom as the CailF CONSUL thews himfelf, the Parifians Teem to feel little curi ofity to fee him. The fpeaators were almolt all foreigners. But as the number of thefe now in Paris is very great, and as the chief objea of their vifit is to behold a man whofe achievements ex ceed thole of the.moft renowned heroes of anti quity, the crowd was prodigious. Every window in the Thuilleries was filled, feteral thoufands were allowed to plant themfelves along the walls, and there was an immenfe multitude without the rails who could not gain admiflion. People had come to fecure good places fo early as (even in the morning. The troops did not begin to amble before eleven. They came in detachments horn the different parts of the town where they are Ra tioned. The Foot advanced within the magni ficenvailing lately ereaed acrofs the fquare, and the Hbrfe drew np without, on the ground for merly occupied by the barracks of the Swifs Guards. Altogether there might • be between fi x and (even thon togeth fand. In military (how the French by no means excel us. The fearkt is infinitely fu perior to the Mae. Even when new the latter has nothing of brilliancy, and when the coarfe cloth worn by the common foldiers becomes threadbare, nothing can be more itabby than its appearance. One could not eafily fay of what colour the uni. form of fome of the regiments had been originally —whether white had turned into a dirty black, or fome dark colour had been partially washed away by the troops having been expofed without tents to the inclemency of the elements during a winter campaign. The Confular Guards, however, are almoft the fineft looking corps I ever beheld.— They are all picked men, and have been long in the firvice. Their drefs is very elegant. I Rewire very much admired the Mamalukes, BONAPARTE'S Body Guard. They are not all fufficiently train ed to appear in public, but they were prefent, I think, about fifty. The expenee of their uniform muft be very great, though it can fcarcely be call ed an uniform, as their tunics are of all kinds of (ilk, green, yellow, purple, &c. &c. ; and their turbans, though equally magnificent, are not all on the fame conftruaion. They have all the fame arms, however, viz. a pair of piftols in their belt, a dagger in their bofom, and a fcymeter by their fide. Their Commander is one of Bowaritaves favourite Aides-de-Camp, and upon all public oc calions rides near him. He was born in Bythinia, and rendered BONAPARTE fame effential fervices in Syria. A mutual attachment fpringicg up be tween them, he refolved to abandon his country and his relatives, and to f h are the fortunes of the French General. He does not Teem to be above twenty-three years of age. His countenance is one of the molt interetting I ever law. He (peaks French with fluency, and mixes with all the gay circler in Paris. It is, however, (aid to be the po. licy of the Calif CONSUL to keep the private men as much as poffible feparate from the people—that he willies them to remain ignorant of every thing French, and to adhere exclufively to their own language, manners, and religion. This corps willin this cafe, no doubt, be lefs fubjea to any popular impulfe, and may, perhaps, better answer the purpofe of its inftitution. Ido not 'find that the French are at all diratisfied with their Chief Magiftrate not trailing to. them alone for the fecu thy of his perfon. Both upon general principles and from hiftorical examples, the circumftance might be a little alarming to a Reps* : but grangers have no bufintfs to interfere. 4 , The famous cream-colonred Charger, which carried Bbaavaria in the battle of Marengo, had been Banding ibme time before the gate of the Thuilleries, richly caparifoned, and, as twelve Br uck o he himfelf appeared and initantly mounted. His drefs was very plain. He wore a cocked hat without a feather, or even a cockade. Except a (mall epaulet, there was no lace upon his coat.— As ufual, he had white leather pantaloons and Englifh boots. Though his ftature be fo low, there is certainly nothing in his appearance dwarfilh or diminutive. There Teems to me to be about him even an air of dignity. You fee a man, con scious of his greatnels, yet never betraying the leaft fymptom of vanity. i He looks altogether as unconcerned as if he 'were walking in his garden, dreffed in his night-cap, dreffing-gown, and flip. pers. If there are no winning !Miles upon his countenance, at leaft it is not marked by pride or difdain. He firit gallopped to the left at the head of his Attendants, and then returned Slowly along the line. - The colours fainted him as he pared, and he lifted his hat with every demonftration of refpea. He infpeaed in this manner each of the three lines in which the foot were formed. He then rode without the great iron gate, which is now furmounted by four cocks, and went through the Cavalry and Flying Artillery. On his return he took his Ration natty on the (pot where the Saifs.Guards were inafacred in 1792. He was nii rounded by about fifteen General (Officers. The Mamaluke was Rill by his fide. The troops now paired befcire him in companies. This ceremony took up near an hoer. Before it was over BONA• PARTS teemed to be very tired, and to fnffer fe verely from the heat, which was foxexcrete that kveral 'tinted Org. The moment that I,qPie is round his charger, difmounted• without any na6 taace, and difappeared in a moment. Thefpeaa tors from all corner of the *are had broken 'through the line oEdemarcation originally chalked out, and were crowding around him. But it is im poffible that this circumaime could give him any .uneafinefs. The foldiers did not fire. 'They walked with admirable Readinefs, but they did not teem to me to prefent arms with any degree of neat nefs, or even precifion. To minutin of this kind the French, I think, pay but little attention.— There is nothing more common here than to fee a centinel at the dißance of teveral yards from his firelock, chatting, or drinking, or fmoaking with a friend. The foldiers, when on guard, do not confider themfelves as under much redraint, and they change guard with very little folemnity. og Immediately after the Review, BONAPARTE. dreffed himfelf in the Confular Wilma, and held I a Council of State. The Counfellors all came in their uniforiti—a coat with a blue fah. Their carriages were wonderful plain, and their fervants were all without livery, and wore the national cock ade. The fame may be raid of the Second Con ful's equipar om A little before the review began he alighted a mean-looking coach, dragged by two forry horfes. The CHIEF CONSUL after wards held a levee for the Generals, great Officers of State, and Foreign Ambaffadors. It is Paid to have been uncommonly fplendid. Eight or nine Englifh Officers were prefent, in the uniform of their refpeaive regiments. They were allowed to walk about among the troops till BONAPARTE ap peared, and were afterwards Rationed in the bal cony of the great window over the South gate of the Thuillenes. In the evening Madame Boa.l - gave a grand entertainment to Mr. Fox and a great many Frenchmen and foreigners of dillinaion. At feven o'clock sso fat down to din ner in the grand room in the Thuilleries. It was near ten before the company departed. This day at twelve o'clock, BONAPARTE goes in great Rate from the Thuilleries along the Qtais to the Lux embourg, to prefide in the Confervative Senate.— Whether an organic co Pulse will be the refult I do not pretend to divine." FROM ANOTHIA CORRESPONDENT-fAMR DATE. If the prohibition of Englilh papers in this coun • try contributed to lower the funds in England, I affure you it had a much greater effea here.— Englifh papers are no where received but by the Government, and the newfpaper offices, who get their papers from the police. Money here is very fcarce, and the difcount for the beft paper is is to [2O per cent.

The General will be an unwel• come vifitor at the Thuilleries at this moment. It was with much difficulty, if you recoiled, that he was prevailed on to accept the miffion. Mr. Fox, when he was the fecond time at the Theatre Fro:wife de la &paps, to fee the Tra gedy of Phedre, was •err much applauded, and the people shouted 4g Fox." LONDON.
