FR tinCE. PARIS, JANUARY 5. 711, Senate adopted on the 4 th inl. a Scr.aui; Colltilt.inbprefented on the 29th ult. in the name f the Covet nment. The following are the prin. canal d.,politions of it. • There (hall be for every Tribunal of Appeal a Senatorlhip, endowed with a .houie, and an an• nii..l revenue of 25,000 francs. 'fine Senatoi (hip 11..01 he poffeffed for life, •and the Senator' who foal' obtain them shall refide with the Tribunal three months in the year at lead. They are to he conferred by the Fird Conful upon a triple pre featation of the Senate. There (hall be applied to the Senate, for its falary, four millions, to be taken from the produce of the foreds, and an ad ditional million of national property in the united department% of the Rhine and of Piedmont. The Senate !hall have a Chancellor and 1 Trerfnrer, charged with the adminifiration of its property. and with all the detail' of its police. A guard of I honour (hall be elpecially attached to it.'' Accounts from Brutrels inform us, that there is to be au immediate augmentation in the garrifons i in the four united Departments of the Left Bank '1 of the Rhine, comporing the 26th military divi-1 Pion, particularly in the great Cities. There poritions are attributed to the vifit which the CHIT r 1 Cow svz is about to make to that new part of the French territories. It is alfo faid, that there is to be a camp fot med between Br uifels and Louvain, for the purpofe of znikury evolutions during the CHIEF Cossur.'s tour. At the fecond fitting of the Swifs Confulta, it was announced to the Deputies, that they mull deliver in their plans for the organization of the Cantons, as well as any further plans they might with to fubmit, in the fpace of a week. His Highnefs the Eleelor Arch Chancellor left AfchaEnburgh at eleven in the evening of the z6th, to proceed to Ratifbon. According to letters from the frontiers of Weft rhalia, the Prudian Cullom houfes, eftablithed ir. fever:Ll parts of Upper Germany, have received orders to cure& the greaten vigilance, in order to prevent the fmuggling of Engin merchandize into the Rates of his Pruflian blajeßy, flawed in Weßphalia. The refult of this measure is, that the Commercial Houfes at Wefel, which lomat .1- ed from the left bank of the Rhine great quant a. ties of prohibited merchandize, cannot hence forth (peculate with the fame facility in this illicit traffic. Among the new proclamations iffued by the Emperor ALESANDEP. is one which is dilated alike by equity and found policy. It ordains, that the hereditary property of perfons of all claffes in the Empire, found guilty of any capital offence, (hall be exempted from confifcation. By a previous proclamation, this privilege was granted in layout of the Nobles only. Fifteen waggons loaded with arms, taken from the infurgents of the German cantons of Switzer land. entered Morges on the z6th of lag month.— This convoy was escorted by French troops, and was to be followed by three others equally confi derable. Accommodations are preparing at Berne for two or three battalions of French troops, which are daily expeZled in that city. Letters from Conflantinople of Nov. zs:h fays, " Colonel SIIIIISTI•Nt affirms the title of Envoy Extraordinary of the French Republic in the Le vant. England,as we are allured, has renounced any ddign of affording affiflance to the revolted Beys, but it requires of the Porte, that it on its part will accede to the alliance which it has propofed, and of which the only objeft is, it is faid, to fecure Egypt from all invafion. Whatever repug nance the Grand Vizier may have hi:fierto had for th's meafure, it is, however, fuppofed th.it the ac:ellion of Ruilla, which is confidered as proba ble, will determine his Highnefs to accede to it. PRIVATE LETTER, PARIS, JANUARY s.. The Senate [lilt continues its Sittings and De bates. The general opinion is, that the Definitive Conllitution is on the eve of making its appear ance. Ti is the avowed wills of 130NAPAILTE to fettle this Constitution on the firmeft balls, and to guard againft die arbitrary will or flatly violence even of his fucceffur, by placing certain checks and guards on his authority, and environing bim, when in the exercife of power, with forms which Mall be inviolable. This is a talk molt hazardous in the conception; when the Sesatus Colfirkwon ap pears, we than be enabled to form an opinion as to its execution. The conferences of the Helvetic Deruties are now hell regularly every day. The ptelent rcport is, that Halle, and tome other of the lets German ized parts of Switzerland, will be incorporated with France; the remainder to form a Federative Republic, under the aufpizes of France.

Several perfons of dillinetion were alto pre. feoted by Citizen Vos VAN STEINWII, Ambaffa dor of the Batavian Republic ; by Baron Ds DREYER, Minifter Plenipotentiary of his Majefty the King of Denmark; by Marquis LUCHESMI, Envoy Extraordinary of his Pruffian Majefty; by Count Buses:, Minifter Plenipotentiary of his Se rene ilighnefs the Eleftor of Saxony; and Count DE BLURT, Minifter Plenipotentiary of his Serene Highnefs the Eleaor Ares-Chancellor of the Empire.

The Paris Journals continue to bring rumours, that the CHIEF CoNSVL will feeedily vifit Brune's; and if we conne.ff them with reports from Hol land, great events may be ezpeEled in the Low Countries, The CHIEF CONSUL, it is laid, view ing the fpirit difplayed in our late parliamentary debates, our refolution to improve our fituation on the Continent the firil favourable opportunity, has grown jealous of our defigns, and apprehenfive of future events. The late article in the Monirror is fuppofed to be a manifeßo to the different Courts of Europe againik Great Britain, preparatory to certain meaftires of anticipation, which Boma e•ara meditates. The firfi of thefe is a change in the Government of Holland.—That country muff either be confolidated with France, or rather perhaps, made a feparate State, under the fame head, like the Italian Republic. This plan is laid to be in contemplation, with the view of defeat ing the defigns of England on the Batavian Re public. As - a preliminary Rep, General Mom vaacit•en was fent to lay Holland under the power of French troops, and to eflablifh a French garrifon at the Hague. He met with a more fpi. rited oppofition than was expelled ; and inflead of proceeding by open force, it was deemed prudent that he fhould temporife. His head-quarters were removed to Breda. Since that time, the French influence in Holland has elitplapeil the Dutch Generals DAEMDILS and DUSIONCFAU, fending them even out of the country. The fame influence is fccretly rooting out every perfon attached to the ;independence of the Batavian Republic, and re ' placing them by others devoted to France. Con neeled with this fyllem is the late ailertion in the IParis Papers, that Mr. Moot z was forming in trigues in Holland with Joierisots the finuggler. I When every thing is prepared, it is expened that HoNnPSR TE EVI:1 proceed to Nita's, there to;re ceive the furrender of Batavian independence from Deputies chofcn for the purpofe. He will affume the Chief Magiflracy cf Holland, as he has done 14 I ranee and Italy. The Englifh Cabinet, we are :tinned, has received ads ices to this Area, and it is laid fevered confultations have been held upon them. Mr. PITT vilited Mr. ADDING. TOM on Saturday in Downing-flreet, and is very frequently with him. It is fufpeEled that with the fame view of anticipating England on the Conti nent, France will feize on Naples, previous to which ihe will draw up and publifit fotre horrible pii,t projeded by this country through MociT ER NO, and others, lately arreaed at Calais, with tl i te hope of jullifying her own eoridu& to the world, and blackening that of Great Britain. Every public meafure in France or the countries under her direetion has, for its objea, to promote the power and influence of theFIRST CoNsuL, and to pave the way for his future aggrandifement.— Of this kind is the following, which we copy from the Gazette de Frame : " The Senate, it is faid,have adopted the plan of a Senatus Confultum, which was prefented to it on the Both ult. in name of the Government by the Coun fellors of State RIeGNAt/D 111 SAINT-JEAN o'AN• ' ccr v, and Poa r.r.t s, the principal difpofitions of which are as follows : " There fhall be Tribunal of Appeal, a Sena tory (fenaloreril), endowed with a houfe and reve. nue of from zo to 25,c00 franks. The Senatories than be poire tied for life, and the Senators, who hare obtained them, !hall refide in them at leaf" three months in the year. They jhall te rotiferrrd by the Friar CONSLL, on a triple prefentation by the Senate. _ o There (hall be affigned to the Senate for its fupport four millions, to be taken I. orn the pro duce of the Foreas, and a million befides from the National Property in the United Departments of the Rhine and of Piedmont. "The Senate (hall have a Chancellor, a Trea furer, and two Pretnrs, charged with the admi nifiration of its property, and all the detaii 6 of its police, a guard of honour fnall be fpecially attach ed to it." AMERICAN PAPERS. Ydlerday we received American papers of a late date. The intelligence from St. Domingo is very important. , . The New York Itfercaili:e it'wrtifer of the tath ult. contains the following paragraph : , ,‘ The pilot who brought up the brig Olivia (now at quarantine from Cape Francois,) informs us, that, excepting the Cape and a few fortified places, the Negroes had obtained compleat poffef lion of St. Domingo, which ifland was in a nate of indefcribable contrition. No reinforcementshad arrived from France. General LE CL R c had not quitted the Wand. Very few American veffels were lying in the ports. We expel a more detailed account when the fhip is releafed fromquarantine." The Juliana, Captain BRoww, has arrived from New York, in a t days, and brings intelligence Rill more recent. Capt. &owe+ Rates, that when he left New York, accounts had been received floor St. Domingo, by veffels that had made their paf fage in 35 days, that General LECLICC had fallen a victim to the prevailing fever, after an illnefs of three days; that Rocoastssau had fucceeded to the command : and that, contrary to the fuppofed intention of his predeceffor, he was determined to maintain his polition to the fan. This information proves that the French affairs are in a very critical fituation. At the fame time the French have now got a commander of great ability, perfeEtly acquainted with the Rate of the iflind. The evils of favour:tin in the choice of military commanders never had a more fignal illuitration. BOLA FAKIR'S brother-in-law is dead. The expedition to Saint Domingo has con armies and the expence of creating them ; and in all pro. bability if ROCHAMBRAU had been fent out Com mander in Chief at the beginning he would have got poffefUon of the ifland fan: rot* fair. At any rate he would have employed filch a mixture of conciliation and firmnefs as would have gained the confidence of the Blacks. The treachery with which Toussaimr was treated, has met its due reward. By an American vefrel, arrived in the Downs, the New York Papers of ten days later than thofe received by die recent American Mail, an re ceived. The New York Gazette of the z tth fays— " A certain number of merchants of this city, believing that another war in Europe is not very Jiflant, have formed a refolution to purchafe one of the pilot boats of this city, for the purpofe of going to London, to wait there for the receipt of news of fuch a nature as to occation an inevitable rife in the price tof American produce ; in which cafe the boat is immediately to be difpatched from London, and it is prefumed will arrive at New York in s 6 or tR days. The nature of the advice: by this boat is only to be made known to the cons. pany who have come forward todefray the expense of the undertaking ! ! ?" The Commercial Advertifir, printed at New York On the I Otll ult. Pays, 6. Capt. HARRI s arrived at Bann on Sunday, in 3o days from Guadeloupe, informs that the affairs of that Colony are in a dreadfo lunation; that no !semis can be tranfaa cd, as the inhabitants are in a Rate of conßant alarm from the Blacks, who are daily committing the moil outrageous ads of murder and pillage ; and are in fuch numbers as to threaten the total dearuaion of the white people, unleis they are fpecdily protated by very great reinforcements from Europe." The (hutting of the port at New Orleans againft American veffels, is an infraction oldie Treaty of 1795. between Spain and the United States, and is greatly prejudicial to the intereß of the latter. — The Rates of Tenneffee and Ohio, together with the Miffiffippi territory, have no other pelage to the fca than by the Migffippi river. New Orleans is the higheß port to which veffels can arrive; the eatenfive navigation beyond it is carried on in boats, and abfolutely requires a place t)f depofit, at which merchandife, kc. may be doted until oacafion offers for its exportation. TIIEATRFS. COVENT GARDEN. — Family Znareels attta.l,ll on Saturday evening an overflowing houle. Sroit has reftored the original air (he gave in her du . - guife of a Gipliy. It is in every refped more cal. culated to promote the bufinefs of the fcene, and to produce effed, than that which was fubflituted for it.—The Pantomime went off with its accuf tomed eclat. DRUAY-LANE.—On Saturday a daughter of Mr. WOODFALL made her firlt appearance at this Theatre in the interefting part of Adelaide, in the Count of Narbonne. The play bill reprefents Ler as a novice on the Rage, but this did not appear front her acting, which was altogether unembarraffed. She poffeffes a pleating (though ratherpethe) figure, and her voice is of considerable compafs. Ot het arms, which arc very long. the makes rather too liberal a ufe, and her attitudes in general are rather Rudied.—The text of the author (he delivered on Saturday with much corrednefs and feeling.—She was loudly applauded throughout her performance. Of BARRYMORE'S Count we cannot fpeak The villainy of the part wanted folemnity.— RAY. MOND, in the 2110 a, was rcfpedable, but not fuffi. cicntly accomplifhtd. We think the charadter well fuited to the earneß manner of Pow I.l..—Mrs. Pow rr.t.'s Ceuntefs WAS animated, but (he was de ficient in that fuber dignity which fhould mark the deportment of the infulted matron of noble birth.— CrialLts Krauts was more than ufnally fuccefs ful in Thecdorr.—The play drew a full houfe, and was generally well received. His Royal Hien& the Plumes of WALES, on his arrival in town firm Brighton, had as inter view with Mr. ADDINGTON ; and we underhand that his claims as Duke of Cornwall 'are in a train of fettlement. His Royal Highnefs is to have an eflabliihment of clear 75,c0n1. a year, for which a Merfage from his MAjcsry will be brought down to the two Houle; of Parliament on their meeting. Crry or EDINBURGH ELECTION.—On Tiler Jar the Elation of a Member to repiclent the City of Edinburgh in Pailiarnent, took place in the Coun cil Chamber. The Right Hon. Lord Viicount Ms LVILLF, the late refpenable reprekntati cc, paid a vifit to the Council, and addreffed them in a very elegant speech, in reference to the conflation which formerly fuhfifted betwixt him and the city. In the afternoon, the LORD Anvocate gave a fplendid and fumptuous dinner to a very numerous company in George ftreet Affembly•rooms,confift. ing of the LORD PROVOST, Mai ft rates, and Coun cil- , a number of nobility, the Judges of the Court of Sefton and Exchequer, floc. and a number of the moll refpetlable Gentlemen is the town and neighbourhood. A Letter from Madras, dated about the be. Nabob, of Augu ft , PBO2, lays, .4 the Company's Nabob, or Debafb, as Tirroo ufed to call him, has determined that there f h all be no legal heir to that of Arcot, as he has difpatched every one chit was left, and to dofe the infernal (cent, poor Colonel BARRArr (a black officer), has gone with the rest. If any juice remain in England, I hope that I !hall live to fee thefe proceedings fully Invelligated." Lieutenant Colonel Cowes, of the Marines, and lately Judge Advocate of Port Jackfon, has been appointed Lieutenant Governor of a fettle. mart about to be formed at Port Philip, in Bare Streights, in the Southern part of New Holland, about latitude 40. The convias going out in the Calcutta, are to form this new Colony, and the military force js to comprife 200 marines, exclufive of Officers. Fort Philip, fo named after Governor PHIL LIPS, is in the fineft country imaginable, abound ing with excellent harbours, and is confidered as much fuperier in point of foil, &c. to Port Jack . - fon. Lieut. Colonel Cots( sis intimately acquainted with that part of the world, and has written Tome interetting trans or. the fubjed. His falary is fixed at 5001. a year. T. Scott Smith, the [ham Parfon of St. Martin's, who was conrided of forgery, but had his lenience commuted for perpetual tranfportatioo, goes out in the Calcutta to Port Jackfon. Sir SIDNEY SMITH means to place on the mo nument of Sir RALPH Autotimer'', a (word, which he obtained from him at the memorable battle of Alexandria, in the following manner:— About the time when this great and excellent man received his death wound, he happened fur Come minutes to be left alone in the field of battle ; at that infiant feveral French dragoons ruffled to wards him, and he was thrown from his both. le this fituation one of them, who was an officer, at tempted to cut him down ; and jug as the point of the (word was falling, the gallant veteran feized and wreßed it from his affailant, who was inaantly (tabbed by the bayonet of one of the Britifh fol. diets, who by this time had come to the General's of Rance. The Hero of Acre alto rode up at the fame time, with his (word broken, and re ceived from his illufirious Commander in Chief that which he had jail taken from the enemy, and which, with other trophies, will fcrve to immor talife his name. We underftand that M. ANDREWS, has been able, through the affiflance of our police, to cover in this country a forgery of French bank notes and government paper to an enormous amount. The perfons engaged in it are all French men. Having received information of the plan, and the names of force of the ruffians engaged in the plot, he communicated the fads to our Mini dets, who exerted all the powers of the police to afilil him in the difcovery. Sir RICHARD FORD was on Friday and Saturday employed in the exami nation of the delinquents. They have been taken with all their apparatus, and with the proofs of their guilt. They will be delivered up to the French Government, there to be brought to trial for the offence. The alacrity which Mmiders have (hewn on the occafion, to affia in the difcovery of this diabolical plan of milchief, is a feafonable re ,proof of the fplenetic infinuations again[ their honour with which the French Journals are fo linceffautly filled.
