FRANCE. PARIS, MARCH 3r. On the 29th the Cnnfervativr Senate renewed the lift of its principal Officers. Citizen TtONC HIT was eleted Prefident ; and the new Secretaries are Citizens CRASS IT and SERRUKIER• The Tribunal of La Somme has Milted the pa rlament of twenty years imprifonment in irons urns three Notaries Public. for forging a will.— Iley are alfo to Rand in the pillory for fix hours. The fame fentence had been previoany paired up. on them by the Tribunal of St. Omer, from which they appealed. Letters from Amiens, of the 28th init. contain the following particulars : " Yetterdayourtown was the theatre of the great event which Europe expeeted with impatience.— The Peace was figned in the pretence of a great number of Citizens, and amid the acclamations of all. This grand aft was accompanied by a cere mony at once Pimple and noble. About eleven in the morning detachments of cavalry and infantry repaired to the Hotels of the Plenipotentiaries.— The garrifon was under arms in the fquare of the town-ball, the avenues to which were filled with 'aft crowds. At one the Minifters proceeded in their carriages, elcorted by a picquet of cavalry to the hall. Their arrival was announced by military mak, and the enthuflaßic applaufes of the mul titude. They were received by the Mayor and his colleagues. " They were foon after complimented by the efeet of the Department, the Officersof the Staff, and the principal inhabitants. The ball in which they met was decorated with many beautiful paint ings of the French fchool, taken from the Mufeum of Verfailles, and fent for that purpofe by the Mi sifter of the Interior. The conference between the Plenipotentiaries, at which were prefcnt all thole attached to them, laßed two boors and a half.— The iffue was expelled with an impatience which cannot be deferibed, and the number of theCiti rens in the Town Houle and the avenues to it encreafed every moment. At length the Mayor was inform ed, by order of the French Plenipotentiary, that the Peace was on the point of being figned. The doors were infiantly thrown open, and the hall was immediately filled with the crowd, who pre ferved the great& order and filence. The Mini- Ras then figned the Treaty. embraced each other, and mutually expreffed the molt affeding tcnimo tries of their fatisfadion. The fpedators grafped each other by the hand, and looked with delight upon the Plenipotentiaries. The Minifters were faluted on their leaving the hall with exclamations of joy ; and on the appearance of the French Ple nipotentiary, the Ihout of " Long live Bow APARTI!" was every where heard. " In Ihe evening the town was illuminated, and the receipts of the Theatre appropriated to the relief of the Poor. The important tranfaetions of the day have left a deep impreffion upon the minds of thofe who witnefed them—they fix the deßiny of Europe, and ratify the happinefs of France." The Mottikur of the 3oth contains a very impor tant Report from the Minifter of the Interior to the Confuls, on the Rate of the Roads and Bridges of the Republic and the turns which have been ex pended in their reparation. It appears that the Turn of aft,384,849 francs so cents. has been em ployed on thofe ufeful objefts, and the further fum of 16,009,293 francs 11 cents. has been allotted by the Government for the ordinary expences of the current year, and 13,375,556 francs 8 cents. for the extraordinaries. Madame GALS/LIN, only twenty years of age, wife of GARNRRIN, the aeronaut, lately afcended from the gardens called Hameau Chantilly, in a balloon by herfelf. The day was beautiful. About three thoufand perfon h confi fling principally of the &eats monde of Paris. were in the garden, and up wards of forty thoufand people colleeted in the ChampsElyfees and the Garden of the Thuilferia. She did not defcend by a parachute, which the has already done by herfelf ; the defcended in a plain rear the Fanxbourg St. Antoine, about five miles from where the fet off ; the was about three quar ters of an hcur on her aerial tour. The air abfo- Itttely rang with applaufe when the afcended. M.

Madame GARS( lull Will alfo go to England, but not immediately. FROM THE PARIS PAPERS. Lims, Fss. tB.—Portugal having happily fucceeded in weakening the tempeft by which the was threatened on the part of the French Repub lic, enjoys at this moment a pedal calm, which is employed by the Government in effeaing very laudable reforms, particularly in the neglefted de partment of the Police. The greatell attention is bellowed on this objea, as well as on the general improvement of the country, by the Prime Mini fler Don RODRIGUES de Souza. The new Police Guard, commanded by the Count de Noaton, a French Emigrant, was prefented, on the ad inf. to the Prince Regent, and the Patroles commenced their rounds the fame night. This guard will not only contribute to the fecurity of the city, but to the augmentation of the public revenue, by detea. ing the frauds which have been fo long praaifed to avoid the payment of the culloms and duties. It is not therefore aftonilhing that the eftablilhment Ihould be loudly condemned by tl.ofe, and their friends,who have been benefited by thefe fraudulent praaices, and they with, but in vain, to reprelent the meafure as contrary to the laws of Portugal. During the thort campaign againft the Spanith and French armies, ANTONIO de Coatis Lose, the Governor of the fortrefs of Jerumenha, having fk•trendered it, without any defence, to the enemy, he was, in conformity to martial law, fentenced to (offer death. The Prince of BRAZIL has, how ever, commuted the punilhment for imprifonmcpt for life in Fort Benguella, on the coati of Africa.

It will remain under the rule of an ex ecutive Government, and that of a Prefed, till its pedal union with the Helvetic Republic.— There provifional conftituted authorities have been appointed by Citizen Veaxisac, Minifter of the French Republic here, and Citizen Mow yaICHAID I commander of the French troops in the Helvetic Republic. The inhabitants are exempted from all taxes which they have hitherto paid to the honk of Auflria, in confederation of the great loffes and calamities which they fuffered during the war.— They are alone compelled to provide for the main tenance of the trifling number of French troops which at prcfent lie in the Frickthal. All the public money and the corn, which had been col t leded in the city magazines, are placed under the 1 direction of the Executive Government, by order I of General MONTRICHARD. Citizen VERNIMAC has ordered the Prete& to allure his fellow-citizens, in the moft folemn man ner, that their country, for the future, fhall form a Canton of the Helvetic Republic; by which de claration all the former reports, refpeding its par tition, are wholly contradided. In purfuance of this order from the French Mi nifter, raid Prefed has iffued a proclamation, in name of the French Government, in which he exhorts the inhabitants to withold, for the future, all political communication with the Auftrian Au• thoritics on the right.fide of the Rhine, in their legiflative and judicial proceedings; and noodl ing all the towns to fend two deputations to Rhine fidd, in order to concert with them and the Exe cutive Government the neceffary meafures towards the organization of the Legiflative and Judicatory Authorities of that country. This union of the Prickthal with the Helvetic Republic took place at Rhinefield ; and the organization of this coun try was elated amidft the acclamations of the people, who teftificd their joy at this fortunate turn of affairs without one diffenting voice. It is elated, that feveral members of the Se nate, advocates of the fy ftem of Federalifm, are about to refign their pofts. Among thefe are mentioned, Citizen Wyss of Zurich; Kauss of Lucerne; aid GE mut, of Glaris. MARCH i6.—lt is laid, that our Covernment has received very fatisfadory intelligence from Citizen DIESBACH, at Vienna. The Imperial Court has prontifed to acknowledge the new Go vernment of Switzerland, by which the money which this place has in the Vienna Bank will alto be guaranteed. The fum, however, is not fo . great as has been reported, the whole amount of that which belongs to our country not exceeding twenty millions. In purfuance of the late decree of the Senate, great expedition is making in all the Cantons to appoint the Members, who, in concert with thofe to be feleited by the Senate, are to form the Elec tive Cornmiffion of each &mon. This had been done at Zurich fo early as the z3th ; and there affemblies were appointed to meet the 18th follow. ing. Citizen Vaemisac is interefting himfelf with our Government in behalf of the prifoner of State, SULZER of Wintherhur, but whether by order of his Government, or at ;he inftance of private per ions, is not known. RUSSIA Prriassueon, Fss. aB.—The Ertarraoa has, in a Ukafe of the 14th of laft month, ordered the toci,ooo rulbes, advanced to the Citizens and Inhabitants of the city of Elizabethgrad, as a loan for ten years, to be left without intercft. The Privy Counfellor and Senator KOSODAV/- Law received lately lby the poll an anonymous letter, in which he was requefled to fet at liberty Rostsnseri, the Regiftrar of Government I who, cn account of an unintentional niiftake, had been condemned to the mines in Nerfchink. The bu finefs was examined, and it was found that he had been punilhed innocently. His Majefty, therefore, iffued the following Ukafe : I have ordered that the difmiffed Regiflrar of the Government, NIKISOR ROMANSIEJI I who formerly lived in the city of Bachmul, and in the year tiler" was by the Court of jullice and Law, innocently deprived off - his rank, and condemned to the punifhment of hard labour at Nertfchink, (hall be rellored to his rank, and fet at liberty ; but in confederation of fuch punifhment fuffered by him, and to provide for him, with his wife and children, the Cabinet has granted him a yearly penfion of three hundred rubles, and to enable him the better to return the fooner to his former refidence,a cum, once for all, of a thoufand rubles." MAtCH s.—The Court Counfellor SCHULTZ, from Berlin, having finiihed his experiments here on the cow pock inoculation with the belt fuccefs, the Emperor has made him a prefent of two thou fand ducats, with the molt gracions expreUlons, as a teftimony of his fatisfaaion. The day before yefterday his Imperial Highnefs, the Grand Duke CONSTANTIN B PAWLOWITscH, ho noured the German theatre with his pretence.— This is the firft inftance, for many years, of one of the Imperial Family 'Aiding any of the public theatres, becaufe the Italian, but more particularly the French aaurs, played at the hermitage before the Court. On the 26th of February the Senate communi cated the following ukafe to the College of Phyfi cians :—As the circumftances, on account of which young men, natives of Ruffia, who withed to ftudy phyfic, were forbidden by an ukafe of 23d Feb. 1799, to travel to foreign countries, are changed, and the communication with thole coun tr les is become free, we have taken off this prohi bition, and command from henceforth the fending of young furgeons from Ruffia into foreign coun t' ics, for the acquifition of more perfea knowledge in all the branches of medicine, to be reftored on the fame feinting, as before the publication of that ukafe.

The liberal principles on which this new law is found ed, whether it be confidercd as an import, or as a political regulation, give a furprifing proof of the gracious and wife Government of our much beloved King. From the mild weather, the catch of herrings, at Gottenburgh, has been fo great, that about 500,000 tons of herrings in the whole have been faked, and 3500 calks of oil have been boiled. LONDON.

This morning the different Bidders for the Loan attended the Minifter at his houfe in Downing ftreet. Our Readers will recoiled that on Thurfday we (fated that every Subfcriber of tool. was to re ceive 651. of 3 per cent. Confols, 601. of 3 per cent.

His Royal Highnefs the Prince of Wass: was on Thurfday Taft eleeted an Honorary Member of the Royal Inftitution of Great Britain. Yeflerday the anniverfary Sermon for the Hu mane Society was preached at Grofvcnor Chapel, by the Rev. Dr. \ratty, of Reading, F. A. S. From the known and acknowledged abilities of this excel lent Preacher, the Chapel was uncommonly crowd ed, at an early hour, by people of the firft difinc tion and learning. The expeftations of the con gregation were great, and greatly were they over paid, as we fcarce ever beard a more pathetic or more fuitable Sermon. In his difccnirfe he paid a jolt compliment to his Mai s STY, as Patron of this excellent Inftitution, and to the prefent Admini. (ration, whore conftant attention to promote all humane and charitable Inftitutions, was very con fpicuous to the people of this Country. He took his text from the 17th chapter of the Firft Book of Sings, and the sad verfe. An appropriate Anthem was fung by Mars. Goat LUTE, POE, Mailer Swim and the young Gentlemen of the Weftminfter Choir. Thus far we have copied from a Morning Paper. The collation amounted to about 1171. and it would have been much higher, had not a confider able number of ladies been difappointed in their expetations of places, and obliged to chive from the Chapel. We obferved in the Prop rietors of pews a great willingnefs to accommodate grangers, but we likewife obferved two or three exceptions.

The debates in the Houle of Repre fentatives on the repeal of the Judiciary Aft, which began on the 16th of February, are detailed in thefe papers at great length. The lubjca appears to occupy a principal part of the public attention, and feems to call forth all the powers of eloquence and argument on both fides of the Houfc. On the aoth of Feb. the Houfe adjourned until the z3d, on the intimation of the Speaker, that a day would be required to ventilate the Chamber. "A vaff concourfe (lays the Daily Advertizer) attend the debates on this important queliion, which, it is prefumed, will not dole in lefs than two weeks from the commencement." ----- On the 22d ult. a fevere fnow anrm was expe- rienced at New York, which laited 24. hours wits. out intermiffinn, and did confiderable damage amongfl the (hipping.—The fall of (now was fup. pefed to average 18 inches—an entraordinary depth for that part of the country, efpecially fo late in the feafon. _ _ The New York Daily Gazette of the 23d of Fe. bruary fags—" The exports of the Unit .d States have increafed the LIR year nearly forty per cent. amounting to 22,043,713 dollars excels. This is in tome meafure owing to the progrcffive augmen tation of the quantity of produce and merchandize exported, but in a greater degree to the high prices of provifions, occafioned by the dearth in Great Britain. The whole of the internal taxes in America are to be repealed, and 7,300,0e0 dollars appi opr'a ted to the difcharge of the public debt The du. ties on antimony and rags imperted are taken off, and a duty of twenty per cent. imposed on the im portation of printing types.

A caufe of confiderable importance to the mer• cantile world was lately decided in America. A merchant had infured a fhip and cargo, undtr warranty that they were American property ; the fhip was however captured by an Englifls frigate, and condemned at Gibraltar. The Supreme Court in America had adjudged, that this fentence condemnation was conclufive evidence of the war. rainy having been Lille, and gave judgment in fa vour of the infurers ; but the Court for the Cor reftion of Errors or of Appeal has reverted this decifion, and declared, that the fentence of a fo reign Court, in fuch cafes, was not conclufive.

Early in November the defertions from the army of the PYCHS RAJA'S had become fo great, dr it his early fhbmiffion WAS confidered certain, and in every other direktion the Ready and perfevering bravery of our troops has triumphed over the enemy, defended as he has been by the almoß in acceffible Rate of the country.

One of there trees being confidered as interraptiog the profped of the neighbourhood of one of the villa ges, an order was inadvertently given by the of ficers of the diliria for cutting it down, and fame foldiers were appointed to the fervice—but the tint Itioke of the axe appeared the fignal for univerfal infurredioni the whole country was in arms, and fume ads of hottility enfued. The people declared that if the tree was felled, they would fet fire to their habitations and retire into the interior, and the Governor found it expedient to order that the attempt fhould be abandoned, by which means tranquillity was reltored.
