We have rcccived Paris Journals to the zgth infl. which prefent fcveral details d fume im. portancc. The affair of the Indemnities teems now to be drawing to a conclufion. All the votes teem to be in favour of the general Concluftim. The projected tour of the FIRST CON S U I. through Belgium is 11111 talked of, and preparations are making in different places for his reception. Theft are of a fplendid nature, as triumphal arches, and fimilar demonftrations of rdeeti. The Krac of Pausst• too means, it isrcported, to vifit tome ofhis territories on the Rhine ; and from this it is inferred tome convenient place will be filed on for an interview between his MAJESTY and the Purr Consul. ! The neighbouring States will have no caufe for joy if fuch a meeting aEtually take place. The People in Switzerland feem far from being fatisfied with their prefent fituation. They are taxed to pay for the expences incurred in enflaving them, and the arfenals which belong to them are applied to the ufe of the French army, with as lit tle ceremony as if they had been furnifbed by the ntl'ular Government. Some of the Swifs terri tory is alio propofed to be united to France.—ln the prefe.ut complying temper of the reil of Eu rope, wintt can be expeCted but that BONAPARTE fhould feize upon the whole ? The moil important article however, prefented in chile papers is given in the form of a letter from Steugard, dated January 7, as if merely re porting the ltatements of Come German Gazettes. It is not the fie ft time, however, that we have leen recourfe had to this method of introducing new Wewr of topics, which were afterwards infitled on as etiabliffied p•inciples in the French Official Jour. nal. The following is the article alluded to : ~ If we can believe feveral of the German Ga• zettes, very important negociations have been for (ome time carried on at Paris between Lord WHITWORTH and the French Miniller TALLEY- Thefe negociations relate in part to the evacuation of Malta and Egypt, ard to the iiffaiis of Parma and Etruria. England requires a pro wife horn France that in no clic it will fend troops to Malta or Egypt : but the French Government kas rejetled this propofal, became no mention was made of it in the treaty of Amiens. In regard to the affairs of Italy, Lord WHITWORTH received alfo a negative animer, and the more precife, as France does not think itfclf hound to treat with England on the aff-iirs of the Continent, fince that Court, in the negnciarions of peace with Auftria, took no part in the affairs of the Germanic Em- pire or of Italy."

(FE;O,I THE TRUE BRITON.) No pei tons can will more anxioufly than we do for the continuan:e of Peace.—The quellion which now in , .erells us is, the nrdure of the conditions on which we arc at liberty to preferve it. Mea lures taken on the part of any other Nation which touch our Honour, or endanger our Independance, tnaft be refilled by every energy and every effort %rill()) the pcwer and refouices of the Nation Lan f:t in motion. We may differ as to what d:ts our I listony cr Independence—but thefe tiiii)gs agreed upon, there is no difference in any patty, as to the necernty of maintaining them, at all hazards. It becomes a nicer queßion, and one in ssll , l, P-lioy as well as Right is involved, Cit!ln'tninc what meafures ought to bc taken in opposition to a.!ls Acyted by any nation, which aff.:4l our Interyh—though even Mr. Fox, wedded as he appears to be to Peace, fought through the nadiam of fubniiilion, will not deny that Reps; say be taken which threaten fn decidedly our feraial intereas, that arms ought to be refurted to in their defence. The point in dilpute upon fuck occafions will be this— whether thole inte ref's which are endangered, are of fidficient im portance to render it prudent and politic to have • recourfe to arms for their defence f—The thing in queflion may in itself be unimportant, but the point to confider is, whether, if it be obtained by another Power, the potreflion of it may not endanger Tome great and effential intereft —and in determining this, the general difpofition towards us of that na tion which attempts to deprive us of any advan tage, or to place itfelf in a liable fituation with reilarel to us, is to be taken into confideration. The poll;:llion of the Ifland of Malta is of little ufe either to the Briti(h Empire or to France, ex cept in cafe cf War, when it is of great importance to either, as affording the means of attack. It is on this account an objea of jealoufy, and it was very wifely agreed at the Peace, that it fhnuld be placed in a Rate of Independance of both Nations. Such is the fpirit of the Article in the Treaty of Amiens which relates to this Ifland. To attain that objea, the different points to be attended'to, are, the guarantees which are to fecure its independent poffeffion, and the appointment of the Grand Matter of the Order of St. John, who is not to be under the influence of either. Whenever thefe points are effeaually fecured, (and his Majefly's Minifters will ufe their fair endeavours to adjult them), it would be a dire& violation of the Treaty of Amiens, not to furrender the Ifland—but until they are Co fecured, it would be unjuß on the part of France to require it, and prejudicial to Britifh interefts to relinquifls its poffellion. We do not Rate thefe things as doubting the intentions of his Majefty's Milliners, but with a view of fatisfying the Public as to the line of condua which it is their intention to adopt. France mull chiefly defire the poffefflon of Malta as a Rep to Egypt ; and Egypt, as affording the fa cility of attack upon our EaR India poffeffions ; for Malta can never be very effential towards any other ()Ned, and can never pay the expence of its maintenance; and a French colony in Egypt though it might produce objeas of curiofity for the Sea. vans, would never furnifh any important article for the commerce of France. The oppofition, there fore, on our part, to French afcendaney either in Maltaor in Egypt, has little reference to the value of thofe places abitra:tedly, but to the confequences which may be derived from them, and from the certainty, that unlefs France looked to there confe quences, the would not trouble herefelf about ac quiting thole poffeflions. It is for fimilar reafons that we look with jcaloufy to any interference, on the part of Fiance, in favour either of the Bcys of Egypt, or of the Ottoman Porte. We do not deny the right to intetfere, but if the obica and end of fuch interference, on the part of the French, be the obtaii::ng a footing for themfelves in Egypt, the fueeefs of fuch a projea might junify and require refinance on the part of this country. The Parliament will, w e hope, in this Senior, be as advetfe as in the LA, to :he low and fuhmif ve tone of Mr. For. He may, if he pleafes, again proltrate himfelf at the feet of Bon APART', but he mutt not be permitted to proarate Britain at the feet of France. The FIRST Cousuc,he has told us, is not more ambitious than the BOURBONS —perhaps not—but he has more means, and per haps more difpofitirm too, to obtain the objeas of his ambition ; and it is a good deal more to the purp,le to tell us how to counteract any holt& proyas of BrIN AT AR no than to drfcribe even in j du molt atiiiriatia; colours, the dangers which threatened ns in ti;c ietn Louis XIV. A firm and decided tone,free from inlblence and hanglitinef., and accomrar:ied with conciliation, where cot.c::,ation can he admitted, us that alone which becomes Great Britain at all times; and it i, pecti!:atly e.Cled for et the prcfent moment.

PARIS JOURNALS. PARIS, JAN. 18.—The Hereditary Prince of ORANGE atfumes at prefent the title of reigning Prince of Fulda, Corvey, &c. M. de Sr EFFAN EC), Governor General of Iftria, Dalmatia and Albania, having caufed fearch to be made in there provinces, has been fortunate enough to difcover fevcral very fine Grecian ilatues in good prefervation. They have been fent to enna : a Minerva, of bronze, already arrived in that capital, is confidered as a mailer-piece. On the arrival of the FIRST CONSUL at Ant- werp, the principal quarters of the city will be decorated with magnificent triumphal arcs, pow confirating from defigns furnithed by the Acade. my of painting in that city. The official Jonrnal has publifhed four decrees, by which the Flaws- CONSUL has appointed Vice l'rciidents of the Confervative Senate for the Sit tings, in regard to the interior affairs of the fenate ; —BARTH EL IMY for the month of Vendemiaire, PPRIGNON for Brumaire, JosstH BOxAPARTI for Frirnaire, and SLRItURIER for Nivofe. C. DIXON has been appointed Direflor of the central Mufeum of the Arts oftablifked by a De cree of the Confuls of Nov. 19. According to the difpofitions of this decree, the Direflor of the Central Mufeum will have under his immediate di- 1 ration the Mufeum of the Louvre, the Mufeum of the French Monuments, the Special Mufeum of the French fchool at Verfailles, the Galleries of the Palace of Government, the Mint for Medals, the Workfhops for Engraving andMoraic, and alto the purchafing and tranfporting objeas of Art.—Five per cents. 56 fr. 75 c. BRUSSELS, Jax. 13.—We are informed from the frontiers of Weliphalia, that the KING of Patrols will certainly vifit his old poffeffions in the circle of Weflphalia, and particularly the fortrefs of Wefel, on the return of the fine feafon. A re f-pet:table Gazette of Upper Germany, in announc ing the intended tour of the Ktria of Pauss la to the Banks of the Rhine, obferves, on this occafion, that the Fißsr Comm. of the French Republic will repair about the fame period to Belgium on the left Bank of the Rhine. The Journalift thence concludes, that thefe two Marion!: perfonages will have an interview in Tome place appointed for that purpofe. BRUSSELS, Jaw. t5.—A corps of horfe volun teen, which already confifis of 64 young men of this city. and anorheieorps of foot volunteers are now railing here; both of them are frequently ezer• cured in the citadel. Triumphal arches ornamented with different paintings, are alto preparing by the inhabitants. All thefe arrangements are intended for the reception of the Four CoxsuL, when he makes a tour to the departments. The city of Antwerp is defirous of teftifying its gratitude to the opener of the Scheldt, which will one day ren der that city as celebrated as it was in the 15th century. Ravissow, Jae. 7.—This day the opening of the Protocol on the affair of the indemnities will take place in the three Colleges of the Empire.— As far as can be judged from report, the greater part of the infiruftions which have arrived on that fubjea to the different Minitiers. tend to the fimple and full adoption of the real of the Deputation. A courier who arrived here yetterday from Pa ris is laid to have brought difpatches to the French Miniftcr,confirming the intelligence that a Conven tion has been concluded refpeaing the indemnities of the Grand Duke of Tufcany. Some even pre tend to know that this Convention was concluded on the 25th ult. at Paris, and that according to the terms of it, the Grand Duke will have the Eledotal dignity, and with the confent of Mu nich. which will be indemnified elfewhere, he will receive the Bifhopric of Eichftadt, the allodial property of that Court in Bohemia, and Tome di(lriels in the Upper Palatinate. JAM. B.—Yefterday the protocol was opened in the two fitit Colleges of the Empire for the ratifi cation of the general Conclufum of the Deputation. In the eleaoral College Saxony and Brandenbourg voted. In the fecond College thole who voted were—Saxe Weymar, Saxe Gotha and Eifenach, Brunfwick Wolferbuttel, Heli Calk), Baden, Wurtemberg, Lubeck, Holllein Oldenbourg and Salm, as well as the Courts of Wetteravia, Fran conia, and \Veftphalia. The Reprefentatives of the EceleGallical States were abfent, except thole of the principality of Ra ti (bon. All the votes emitted were in favour of the complete ratification of the general Coack/kw. Bats, Jas. 9.—The main body of the French army in Switzerland has received reinforcements, and pat ticularly of cavalry. The 6th honk char ft.urs from Geneva, have arrived at Berne, where y will remain in garrifon ; two fcuadrons of the huffars have received the fame deft ination.— We again learn, that it is in agitation to unite to Fiamc the canton of Leman, and a part cif that of Bale; ana what gives fame foundation to this re• port is, that though the French, notwithQanding the remontirances of Government, Dill continue to empty our arterials, and even that of Berne, and to tranfport all the ammunition to Laufanne and Morges, this mealure has not been extended to this city. 13Eaur, JAN. p.—We receive from Paris the molt contradidory news : on the one hand we are af 'lured that all the Members of the Confulta will immediately return home ; that the debts contrad ed by the Helvetic Government will be paid, and divided among the Cantons, and that each Canton will be allowed to eftablifh whatever Conflitution it pleafes.—lt is, on the other hxd, atTcrted, that the Confulta is charged with_ makir% aConflitutitii , eflablithed on the bafis of unity,: fn a.wQrd, is;\ believed here, that the Grand and PLtty CottiiMi will be re-eflablithed.

I . he following particulars appear in The Courier de Loam of la night :- 14 The line of condua lately porfued by the FIRST Cowart refpeaing the organization of the army has given rife to very general difcontent among the old Officers. Regiments are new re formed under the pretence that they are reduced to a very (mall number of men ; and they are then incorporated into thole regiments where favour is to be &ern to the Chief Officers. It mull be confeffed, that the Officers who have been re formed Rill retain the rank and pay of ;lanai service; but they are well aware that this atten tion in their behalf is but a thing of the moments and that its objed is to filence the prefcnt mur murs, and to ad only as a tranfition that may can• duce to a perfci reform." STATI TRIALS—We were, in common with our cotemporaries, led into an error yellerday as to the perfons againft whom no Bills arc found.

Notwith (landing the diflance of that place from town, and the unfavourable Rate of the weather, the agree able nature of the amufement, in the place of all others the belt adapted to it, brought together very numerous afremblage. The molt remarkable of the characters that ap peared were a group of beautiful hay makers, who boated of their addrefs in managing a rale. There was a multitude of Harleguiru, who appeared to want rather the difpnfition, than the power, to be very alive. There were no Colambirso. A num ber of chambermaid: were extremely troublefome with their brooms. I-fair-dr:ler:, coNcrt, eirar. tinier:, radon, Stc. kept up the bottle of the night. A number of females (ported their figures of all forts in reale attire, from that maw:poise which would do honour to an Alderman, to the fpruce. delicate form of an emancipated fchoolboy, mak ing his firft campaign in Bond-flreet. A toler able faer teafed the company, by commencing a number of merry tunes, then flopping, and running ' away, to play the fame trick in another place, as loon as he had got a numerous fet of dan cers around him. Towards the dole of the night, a gentleman, who, we underltand, is a profeffional finger, though we could not learn his name, colleted the principal part of the re maining company about him.

The moll naive was feised, and given in charge to the Officer of Police in attendance ; but his iiiiilciates fucceeded in refcuiag him, by making a roils, while the officer was taking him through the room. He left his hat, and tome articles, which were found OA him, in pc.frcliGon of the officer.
