FRANCE. PARIS, 3 MES4IDOR, JUNE az. The Miniacr for the Home Department has written t! le following letter from Havre, dated 26th Praitial ( June :5). .• Citizens, the FIRST CONSUL has fent me the petition which addreled to him refpeeing the importation of fr•reign refined Lugar. You may gel fa.i.fic.l that Government has taken up that Attica with all the zeal that you can with for. I have Ird a report npon this matter before the Vint Conful, and you may loon expel to have his decifion upon ir. In the mean time (pare no pains in profecuting with unabated ardour the works be longing to the bekehonfes, and to evzry thing that concert; the national fugar trade." In a former Number (No. 267) we publifhed the letter, in which the Prefect of the Department ac quainted the Miniller of the Interior with the number of votes delivered in at the head office of the Prefelt on the coeftion fubmitted to the French People by the decree of the Goth Floreal ult. viz. Shall NAPOLEON BONA PARTE be Conful for life ? In that number were not compiled the votes infcrit3ed in the iegifiers opened by the Firft Au thorities at the Offices of the Minifters, and the Police Offices, and at the Office of the Tribunals. A part of theft regilters has juil been given in to the Minifter of the Interior. The numb er of votes for Paris now amounts to 60,395 for te affirmative, and 8o for the nega tive. To thefe there will be to add the votes in scribed on the books °petted at the offices of the Secretaries to the five Minifters, and at the Office of the Tribunal of Appeal, who have not as yet delivered in their regiflers. On no former occalion have the votes of the citizens of Paris amounted to fo large a number. Fur the appointment of the Mayor of Paris in 1789, the numbers were only 14,010. For the acceptation of the Conftitution in the Rth year of the Republic, the numbers were 27,675. While on the quellion for making BONAPARTE Conful for life, the numbers are (though the whole is not as yet filled up) 60,395. 4 stEssioos, JUNE 23. A notice has been iffued by the general admi- Wtration of the Poll Office, informing the public, that from the 26th of the prefent month, all letters and packets for England will he fent from Paris on Monday., Wednefdays, and Saturdays ; and from Calais Mondays, Wednefdays, and Fridays. They are all to be pan paid from the place where they are dated as tar as Dover, otherwife they will re main in the office. The grand quellion of the liberty of the com merce to India, or the re-efiablifhment of a pri vileged company., is on the eve of being di tided. A great number of memoirs and writings have been publithed on the fubjed. The refult of this difeuffion; in the opinion of the public, as far as this opinion has been collated, is favourable to the freedom of commerce. Citizen GattoNtis, one of the authors who has fupported this fide of the queftion, males a reflation which cannot fail to be generally interefling: " No one, rays he, can be better judges than the , merchants themfelves 1 of what is advantageous, or deftruttive to their interetis. It appears to me attoniflting, I confers, that an attempt fbould be made to convince the merchants that the commerce of India cannot fail to be difadvantageous to them, and above all, hof tile to the fuceefs of private 'Peculation, when from all parts of France thefe very merchants de mand the freedom of this commerce, to whore im portance they attach the greaten value, and from which they expel the happieft eonfequences."--, atiara! Ist De&au. In the Journal It Parir of yeflerday, and in the Official Journal of this day, we find a long article refpating the amount of the revenue which the Government may draw from the ettablithment of a tax on Field Sports. The article concludes in the following terms : " When it is confidered that Zngland draws from this routed a tax amounting to 1,500,000 francs, from a territory which in point of extent does not exceed one-fourth of that of France, it may be teen that France may draw from it 6,000,000, and at the fame time form a very important branch of general police, which would be a powerful encouragement to the multi plication and improvement of the breed of hones." In the Sitting of the Tribunate of yellerday, the proprietors of St. Domingo, Refugees at Nantz, delivered in a petition, !hung their with to return to their property, and their want of rerburces for fuch a voyage, and praying that a gratuitous par rage might be afforded them in the vet Tels at the dirporal of Government ; and alto the means of fobfittence until their departure. This petition was tent, together with feveral others, to Govern ment. The General Council of the Department of the Upper Loire, at the fame lining at which it was unanimnufly voted, that Bcvermtre Ihould be Conful for life, pall J a vote of thanks to the fe cond and third Conti'ls. By a decree of the CHIEF Cowsut., General Dteasm is appointed Captain-General of the French eflabliihments in the Eaft Indies, and• G eneral .)em ova.; ET, Captain-General of the bland of TohJgo. The Government have decreed twenty-nine ar ticles concerning Places of Exchange, in which every thing Teta' ive to Iliac efiablifitments is fully regnlited.

The &knell of that Prince was previoufly announced by a letter from Vienna of the gth, Rating the departure of the Phyfician, the Baron de Ilt2 ARSE, to attend his Royal Highnefs. Baron Hatsoosr has ereCted, at a beautiful fpot called L'lRe, about half a league from Augfbourg, a monument to Prince CHARLES, the Hero of Ger many. JUNE 25. Dr. Mont, who is now employed here in the compilation of a Chinefe Dictionary, has received as a prefent from the EMPEROR of Russia, an ele gant diamond ring of the moll exquifite work manfliip. Of 40,000 voters in the Haute Loire, 38,000 have voted for BONAPARTE being Conful for life : there were oily four votes againit the meafure. In St. Gaudens and Ruffec, there were 16,000 l votes in the affirmative, and only two in the nega tive. In the department of Roer, of 86.099 voters, 85,060 voted in the affirmative : the negative votes were 249. In feveral of the Italian Journals appeared a letter from Cagliari, dated the t4th of May, which was copied into the French and German Papers, announcing a prohibition by the KING of Su.. UINIA againfl the reception into that ifland of any verfel arriving under French colours. This intel ligence is formally contradided in the Frankfort Journal of the IA of June; and it is farther dated, that French vac's arc received in the Sar dinian ports with all poilible refpea. FROM THE PARIS PAPERS. JIIME B.—The Count de ScmuLtn suac is on the point of feting out for Hildelheim and other parts of Weaphalia, to take pofreffion of it in the name of his Majelly.

They took poilifilon of that fine colony without any refutance. Good order and difcipline have been rettored in the ifland. PRIVATE LETTER. PARIS, JUNE ss. In the lilt of fro& who voted again(' the Con curs being eleeted for life, the name of Caimor was the tiril and the moil remarkable; his friends and probably himfelf, thought he had voted his profcription, but BONAPARTE has not yet mani felled any. opinion refpeeling CARwor's conduit, and teems to treat it either with indifference or con. tempt—perhaps both—it required, however, no common force of mind to write a Non, where every one had recorded a Oui, or by filence tacitly con. Tented. General SAHUCUET is appointed Captain• G eneral of Tobago. A Prete& was alto nominated for that 'timid, who was to have accompanied him, but difficulties have intervened, particularly ow ing to the circumftance of this Mind having been ceded to France in 1783, when it was entirely compofed of Englifh, and its confeepiently having' continued to b.! governed by Englifh laws. No reference has been made to this article of the Treaty oft 783, and the Government is embarraffed as to the mode of reconciling it with the principles of amity it profeffes. The Treaty with the Porte is concluded. The conditions of this Treaty are, it is faid, very ad vantageous to the Ottoman Porte, and appear very irreconcilable with the opinion which has been en tertained by the public, that a projt:ft is in agita tion to difmember the Turkith Empire, and divide' it among the different Powers of Europe. Sunday zcth inftant, Bomar Aar e received at the Thuilleries, the vifit of the Cardinal i Latere, and a very confiderable number of Bifhops who attended his Eminence, to be prefent at his taking the oaths before the FIRST CONSUL. The cere-1 mony was condtgled with great folemnity, but no pomp. ' The Bifhop of Amiv NS had required from Tome of the Con flitntional Priefts a public recantation, which, when BON Ars Kra was informed of, he flew into a violent paffion, and ordered PORTAL'S to write to the Bifhops, that he not only infifted upon their not requiring from the Conftitutional Priells any kind of recantation for the purpofe of lqualifying them fur their fualions, hut that he (-yen ordered that they Mould not make any fub million whatever. He required further, that the Bifhops Should include a third, or at leall a fourth of their Curates, among their Conftitutional Prier's. He demanded of the Legate a declaration by which Should acknowledge, that the Pope would not make any difference between the Conftitutional Prielts and the others, and the Legate was obliged to conform to his willies, under the apprehenfion that he would be ordered to quit Paris within Li. hours. The FIR IT Consul. has announced to nearly the whole t.t . the Clergy, that he did not underhand' any Priell would refute to adminifter the facra ment of marriage to perfons who I h ould prefent themfclves far that purpofc, after having been divorced. The Bilhops are all extremely concerned that DomAreicre does not fulfil the promife he made to the Po►s, and they are at a lois how to conform to the orders of the Government, and at the fame time to conciliate the confidence and refped of their diocefes. The execution of :he AEI of Amnefty has been (Upended for some days, and it has been reported that it is intended to limit the eatenfion of it, and to confine it to a Leber number of individuals; but 4 appears, on the contrary, that disfufpealioa has for its objett to render tie mention of the law more prompt and eafy. The day before yetterday they began to deliver certificates of amnelly with more activity than ever. It is the more defirable that this law fhould he carried into effeEt without lots of time, as the Emigrants to whom it refers are obliged to remain on the faentiers. There are fifty-fix at Calais who for feveral months have not been able to proceed farther—thefe fifty-fix perfons confift only of private men, and many of them of low condition. The Priefls, as well as women and children, are fuffcrcd to pats without the leaft difficulty. PARLIAMENTART PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF LORDS, SATURDAY, JUNE 26.
