PARIS, 4 PLUVOZE, JAN. ss Several public papers have announced that the Senate was on the point of feleifting the twenty Members of the Tribunate, and the fisty Members of the Legiilative Body, wbo are to go out of thole alfemblies. That is inaccurate—The Senate is about to name the 6o Members of the Tribunate, and the 240 Members of the Legislative Body, who are to be in office for the year to. It is faid that the election is to begin to-morrow. The Imperial Chamber of the city of Wetzlaer has ifued a mandate of execution againti the three Princes who compofe the Circle of Weftphalia. TjIC Archduke ANTHONY is defignated in this in. liniment as the Reigning Prince Biffiop of Mun ger. The Court of Prullia, which forms one of the three Principalities of the Circle, has tranf 'flitted a protdl againfi the tr andate. The re venues of the Bithoprick are in the mean time le vied by the Chapter of Manlier. From Avignon we learn, that on the t 3th intl. a covered carriage paffed through that city, carry ing the urn which contained the allies of Pius VI. who died at Valence, in the department of La Drome. It was followed by a berlin, in which were Cardinal SPINA and tome of his fuite. The whale was efeorted by a troop of Dragoons. The gI4PEROIt of Ruffia has, by an Ukafe, re. flared to their liberty and civil rights, five per. lons who had been fent to Siberia. _ _ _ A repent is jail now circulated that the POPE has, by a brief, fuppreffed the Arc.hLiflopric of Cologne. It is Lad that the EMPEROR of Russia has pro.. poled to England and France, that Malta fhall be occupied by Neapolitan troops till the Knights (hall be completely reinftated. FROM THE PARIS PAPERS.

COPIIIKAOIII, JAW. 3.--Tha mortality Lai year has been mach greater than is dual in this capital. There were 3185 births, and 4542 deaths, con fequently the number of the latter exceeds that of the forme} by t 357, of whom 486 were victims to the fmall•pox. The number of tradespeople in this city, in cluding journeymen and apprentices, amounted, at the end of the year, to 11772. We are informed from Eltineur, that in the night between the 4th and sth of this month a hurricane took place, in confequence of which an Englith vele' was driven on chore, and became entirely filled with water ; feveral misfortuncs of this kind Teem to have happened on the coati of Sweden. On the aoth of December the two houfes, abb. baled for quarantine, on the Wand of Oderdc, be fore Chriflianfand, were reduced to afhes : their diftance from Chriflianfand, and their fituation on the fummit of a rock rendered it impoflible to give the al:finance neceffary on fuch occafions. The naval magazines were not injured, as the wind was favourable for their prefervstion. PITERSBUILGH, Disc. 26.—Patio I. had efta bliflied a Commifßon of jullice, folely to pronounce on the- affairs of the Catholics in fpiritual matters. ALI/UNDER I. bas diffolved this Commiffion, and inflituted in its place a Roman Catholic Ecclefi aflical College, of which the Archbifhop of Mo hilow is Prefident, and which is compofed of one Billw, one Prelate, and one Canon from every Diocefe, to be elected every three years. This College is to judge according to the Laws of the Roman Catholic Church, but without ezeKifing any ecclefiaßical authority whatfoever. Dec. 27.—8 y one of our Laws, the laft remain ing heirs of a family were prohibited from felling or mortgaging the elates which they inherited from their anceltors, in order that, in default of heirs, there elates might return to the Crown. The EMpEROII has repealed this law by a Manifefto, in which he referees to the Crown only fuch elates as have neither been fold or mortgaged. The new Government Bank of Sweden is to be in full aOivity by the 7th of January. Dtc. 28.—While every thing teemed to announce the reftoration of public order and tranquillity at Belgrade, the Janiffaries were con fpiring in fecret againft the Pacha. and yefterday was marked by a bloody cataftrophe. About two in the afternoon, the Janitraries entered the Pacha's haute and fired a piftol at him, but as it only wounded him, they then attacked him with their fabres, and cut him to pieces ; when the Pacha was thus affaffinated, the Janiffaries feized on every thing that belonged to him except his haram,which they - left Untouched. Ibis unexpeaed event has thrown the inhabitants of Belgrade into great con fternation, and they are waiting with anxiety to fee what will be the confequences. The Conful Pizazz Jt so efcaped to Boufa. Blame, Jax.lB.—The Senate yeflerclay decreed that the Government fhall raife on the national property the fum of five millions necerary to pay the debt of the State. This furn will be divided in juit proportions among the Cantons which forMer ly potrefed public property. The 'national pro. perry of each of there Cantons will be mortgaged to the creditors of the State until the Canton has paid its quota. The Government will iftspoik tin the monalleries and foundations that recover their property a contribution proportioned to their ability towards liquidating the National Debt. FRAN C K FORT, JAN. 16.—The Prince of ORANGE, Ez-Stadtholder of Holland, and his fon, the He• reditary Prince, are Rill at the Calle of Oranjen flee% near Diez, on the Lahn ; many of the Sovereign Princes of the Empire have been to rifit him. Above too perfons employed in the Prince's Court at the Hague, his body guards or other emigrants, who participated in his fate,' are al ready affembled at Oratijenfleen, and in the prin cipality of Neat), are a certain number, whom the Prince of OIANGI promifed to employ around his perfon, as foon as be Ault receive in Germany the indemnities due to him. It is fuppofed that thefe indemnities will be more confiderable than has been hitherto believed, and there' is little doubt that the Eleaoral dignity will be conferred on the Houfe of ORANGE. However this may be, it is certain that three battalions of Prullian in fantry, two fquadrpns of huffars, and a train of artillery, will be given to the Prince of ()Ramos, in order that he may take peffeffion of hisliew Rates. Thefe troops will remain in his pay until national corps are organized. The arrangement which flipulates thefe conditions has been already concinded between the courts of Berlin and the Es-Stadtholder. ULM, Jam. I.—Within there few days pur city, as it were, has been befieged. All communica. tion is cut off, and the Mails can neither be dif. patched nor received, fo . great is the quantity of fnow which has fallen : is chin deep, and has in undated the Danube and the furrounding coon. try. In the ftreets of this city the inhAbitants have raifed high walls of fnow before their houfes. It is to be hoped that we (hall have a gentle thaw, left we fhould be expofed to a melancholy inundation. The peafants in our whole neigh. bourhood are required to dig channels through the.fnow, from the one village to the other. HAGUF, JAN. 7.—The Government of State, we . hear, has received intelligence that the Count VAN STAZIELNIIRO is appointed by his Ruffian Imperial Maidly to reticle as Envoy Extraordl. nary and Minifier Plenipotentiary in the Batavian Republic. Within thefe few days a report has been circu lated that a Revolution was again on the eve of taking place. It does not, however, feetn to „.‘ , airi ground, and all the caufewhich can be adigned for it is, a difagreement esifling between the Govern ment of State and the Legiflative Body. Difunion is even kid to prevail among the Members of the ' former Body, which is by no means allonififing, 'if one confiders its heterogenout comporition.— Thofe Orangifts who have accepted of kat: there begin by degrees to fight ily. • •,, ' On the negotiations at Arnica depends the fit. . • .. • tune prorperity, or the ruin of oar commerce.— What we have molt to fear on this fuhita is, the want of ikilful advocates to plead and to reprefent p our caufe ; and it is lingularly unfortunate at this period, that the moil experienced and moil skilful men, thole who are acquainted with the true in tereils of their country, politely decline the polls to which they art chofen ; while thofe who accept them are the avowed enemies of the prefent Con notion. JAN. 22. —We hear that the Batavian legion, which the Count of STERNBACH has been raiting in the inter:or of France, with content of the French Government, is now quite completed. It is compofed of deferters, Hungarian prifoners, and Germans who have entered into this f:rvice. TNs legion, 1200 men firong, and commanded by Ba tavian officers, is now at Rochelle, where it is to be embarked on board the Eendragt, the Juno, and the Phenix, for Batavia, as foon as there (hips arrive at Rochelle. _ _ We have juit received the news that the Defini tive Treaty between France and England is con-. eluded. The mercantile world is in the greateft fufpence, as to the qneftion of (hutting the Scheldt. There are fume, indeed, bold enough to alien, that this country will fuflain rio lots by its being kept open; no more at lean than certain fea-ports of France. But the general opinion is, that it will eventually give the death wound to the tottering commerce of this Republic, although its operation cannot be fuppofed to take an immediate elle& LONDON.

Mr. Mtitwivz calls upon the Marquis Count/m.1.1s on his way to Conilantinople. The Swift, a pafrage vefrel, arrived on Wednef day afternoon at Dover, with the horfcs belong ing to the Marquis CORNWALLIS, and fix of his fervants. They left Amiens on the z3d. His Grace the Duke of POITLAND has left town for a few days. Tile Duke of Noatot s has Ofo gems to his feat, near Epfom, for a few ckys. The Prince of Watts has launched a new cha riot.

Agent Vidual ler at Portiinouth, with that laudable fpirit which adds luftre to his charader, gave a proportionable quantity of coals to each labouring map employed in the Vidualling Department, which, at this in clement feafon, mull prove a falutary relief to them and their families. The humanity difplayed by the above Gentleman, towards the neceffitous on every occafion of benevolence, is an example worthy of imitation, and which we hope to fee followed by thole in affluent circumflances. We have been favoured with a perufal of Cal cutta Gazettes down to the r ith July. They con tain little that would be interefting to Englifh readers. On the 16th of May laft the Governor General, by General Orders, exprefled his approbation cf the condud of Colonel STEVINSON, Colonel SAN. TORIUS, and the detachment under Colonel Srs vex soe's command in fubduing the rebellious Ra jah of Pychy, and for the affertion of the Britifh power throughout the province of Malabar. By General Orders of the azd May the Gover nor General likewife expreffes his approbation of the condul of Lieutenant Colonel Naas for the fuppreffion of the troubles in the province of Din digul, and the apprehenfion of the Polygar of Peer apatchy, one of the principal rebels. A letter received by the MELVILLE CASTLE, from the Prefidency of Bombay, dated the t4th day of Au ft laft, Pays , "We have received an account orthe death of Monfienr Suacourr, the marine officer in the French fervice at the Ifle of France, who has fo fuccefsfully annoyed our trade in thefe teas; SURCOUFF has been on this Dation about four years, under tliF aufpices of General MALARTIE ; he was to extremely daring, that he ran all rifks to make captures,in which he too often fuccceded. We learn by the fame letter, that the Subah of Choteefsur, and its dependencies, is let out to WINTUL PUNDIT, by the Berar Govern ment, for a fpeeific annual rent to be paid in Nag pore ; for which grant, and the rank of Subandar, WINTUL POKDIT has agreed to pay a very cox& &rabic price. THEATRE-ROYAL, DR URIL /fn . E. The tragedy of the Mow nie? Brie/ e was yeller day evening per formed for the tirit time this This produCtion, altho' dittinguifhed for mar:. poetical beautie•., affords fcw Ipecimens of genuine Ninon. Its interell is chiefly derived from the er.. cellence of the Performers ; amt the tragedy re.. ceived every poflible fupport hit night from th.:. talents of Mr. KEM L F and Mrs. SIDDON S. Zara is unqueflinnably one of this great a&refVs inoft fucecfsful parts. The dignity, tone, rage, jealoury, indignation and contempt of the charac ter, were admirably depi4led. The °Ayr! of Kam ai.E was delineated in a mailer ly ltylc. RAYMOND gave an importance to the King which very much contributed to the general • effed. Many pailiiges of Almeria were delivered with great feeling by Mrs. Powstt, but her conception of the charatier does not in general feem corre4t. She should pot forget. that even in the whirlwind of paffion there is a temperance that gives it fmoothnefs. • MANSION-House BALL.—Wednefday night the Lain MAYORESS gave a grand entertainment at tie Manfion.jioufe to the Nobility and Gentry, her friends. In the evening there was a ball, in the long parlour, which has uiwlergone a thorough repair, and is fitted up with great tale; variega ted lamps in feftoons were placed around the apart. ment, and three glafs chandelidrs appeared at equal diftances to great ad, aatage. The firft dance was led down by Lady STAN HOPE and the LORD MAYOR. About thirty couple followed. An elegant flipper fucceeded about twelve o'clock. The ball recommenced at one, and broke ufi at three, when the company de parted. THEATRE R.OYAL DRITRY-LANE..—A very merous and refpettuhle Meeting of. the new Ren ters, Subfcribers to the Building of the Theatre, called by public Advertifetnent, at the defire of the Proprietors and Truftees, took place yefterday at the Crown and Anchor Tavern. WILLIAM Moatatp, Efq. took the Chair, and in a fhort fpeech opened to the meeting the purple for which they were called. Mr. SHERIDAN followed, and with great perfpicuity explained the principles of the intended final fetticment propofed to be fub- Mitted to the LORD CHANCELLO.., and the grounds op which he had contended, althmigh conflant affertor of the rights of the Renters, that the pay ment of the Company, and the =diary weekly expences ought to have a preference even to their claim, and that it was the intereft of no parties fo much as the Renters that it thould be fo; a con ftritetion clearly to be dedn'ced from the original truft, many claufes of which 'Mr. SHERIDAN read, and in which Mr. Titomss Hs ta St ERSLEY, one of the Truftees, had always concurred, and which had now the high fanCtion of the opinion of the LORD CHANCELLOR. MT.SHERIDAN farther ftated,theuni form care which had been taken both by the Pro prietors and Trultees of the intereft of the keiners ; the voluntary at of the Proprietors in increafing the nightly fum to be fet apart from forty pounds to forty-five pounds, which no legal claim could have bound them to do, and his convitaion that the alteration propofed in the praelice of the truft, but not an alteration in the rule prefcrebed by the tuft deed, of giving priority of payment to the performers and tradefrnen, even to the renters, would as readily meet their approbations as it had the LORD CHANCELLOR'S. Lord KINNAIRD then moved fame Refolutions. His Lordfhip declined entering into particulars fo clearly Rated by Mr. SHERIDAN, but he put in a brief and perfpicunus point of view the folly of any perfon whofe interea did not commence but on the condition of a Play being perfoftnee. con ceiving that he could mend his title by 'preferring his elaini to the payment of the performers. The Refoltitions were then unanimoufly paired, with the exception of two Gentlemen only, who did not diffrr •in principle, but thought nothing ought to be done while the general cafe was be fore the Court of Chancery, although it had beet)* (Wed by Sir RICHARD FORD that the meeting hr 4 been eeprefsly called op the fuggeftion of the LORD CHANCELLOR hiptfelf. • -• The new Theatre at Beilin was opened for the firft time on the (id init. but f'uch was the con. courfe of people defirous to obtain admitlion, that many perfons were dangeroully hurt. The en trances were furrounded by crowds at the early h'oor of one, and it was found neceffary not only to double the guard, but to call into their affiftance a detachment of Hears. The celebrated Ator Imam) came forward before the performance, and delivered an oration fuited to the oceafion, and compored by the Academician HERKLOK. At Barnhall, with of Kirkcolm, John Gibfon, and Andrew Taylor, labourers, digging up the robbilh of an old caille, difcovered a number of gold coins: They are broader than a guinea, but to thin, that one of them is not worth more than nine !billings. ' Some of them are almoft fmooth, and feem to be of great' antiquity ; others are more modern, bearing on the one fi de the infcription, Maria, D. G.

The following matrimonial event happened on Monday laft at Gofport :—A publican there was informed anonymoufly, that his daughter, having been regularly afked in church, had let off to he married to one of the Black Cymbalias of the Wildhire Band, and that only 3 fpeedy interference could prevent their being married. The father s almoft frantic at the idea, purfued with every pol l:1)1c bah the couple, hut arrived too Lite to pre vent the union. Application being made to the Officer, the Bridegroom was confined fume time for being abfent without leave, and the Bride was concluded home by the mother and Conaable.— She attended, with due decorum, to her father's door, where the mother led the van. The Con (table defired the Bride to follow ; but the fo well timed her manners, by politely laying, .‘ After you, Sir," that the perluaded the Conttahle to take precedence, while the took to her heels, tind corn: pletelT cifeded her efcape.
