FRANCE. PARIS, APRIL s. SITTING OT THS LEGISLATIVS BODY, AlalL 4. The Counfellors of State, CISTRT, DEFER mom, and Bsasmosit, prefented the projed of a Law in regard to the Banks : AAA The arc:dation formed at Path under the name of the Bald glrraiu, !ball have the exclufive privilege of linking bank nom on the conditions here announced. IL The capital of the bank of France Shall be divided into 41poo &aces at legit, of Km francs each of rriginal flock. and a fund of reran befides: witlubawing the funds of their (bares - . b prohibited. Bt. The names of the Proprieton Dull be regillavd. The transfers cannot be made payable to " bearer." IV. The loweft value of the notes of the Bank of France bailie 500 francs. V. The Bank llti.l dircount Bills of Exchange and other C •enmudal Paper. The Bank cannot carry on any trade In other commodities than gold or Slyer. It LIU refute to dr eam.... Paper ariGng from tranfadions which than appear m isery to the fafety of the Republic, paper ailing from contra la and trade and fidiltious bilis, or accommodation notes which aye no real value. VI. Difeount Dian be taken according to the number of days, rdvren far one day, if there is radon for it. , • Vil. The qu.ihty of proprietor gives no particular right for having Bina diicsuatcd. VIII. The annual dividend cannot exceed ill per cent. for eatis iharc of moo francs ; it ball be paid every ill months. The profit remaining after the annual dividend &all he converted into a fund of refcrve. The fund of referve fhall he inverted in the five per Cents. Confols, which will give rife to a fecond dividend. The prefent fund of referve &all be inverted in the fame manner. • Here follow feveral other regulations, one of which is, that the Bank (hall be tinder the direc tion of aoo of the greatefl proprietors, who are to form the General Affembly of the Bank. Such a Bank. laid Ca Ertl., the only one which ought to be conlidered as a national eftablifhment, is very different from thole now *sifting at Paris. The latter confine their difcount within the circle of the proprietors, which renders them, in fast, private affociations, very nfeful indeed, but far from being attended with thole advantages which commerce in general requires. To put an end to that prejudicial exelnfion, which this partial fyf tem introduces, the prnjett of law coatis, that the quality of a proprietor of the privileged Bank (hall not entitle the individual to any prefs.rence for difcount. Before adopting a refolutinn which mull pro duce the diffulution of the Gail 4 Cowmen: and of the Co:10101r Ccw•lvvit7;the Government, convinced of the refpeet due to there two eltabliflinsents, on accflunt of the fervices they have rendered, and of the utility they are to the holders of Blares, who are almost all the merchants of Paris, tried every means to effeet a reconciliation between them and, the Bank of France. It feveral times manifelled its o,:fire of teeing the interefts of the three Banks' concentrated it required only, as an indifpmfable condition, an unity cf notes ; but this condition contains, in all probability, force infoluble princi ples, fince the negotiations begun on that fubjell, and conduced with equal good faith, were not at- I tended with foccefs. Government therefore conceived, that the law ought to determine, and not to fuEcr fo great in. temils to be anv longer in a late of fluctuation. But it has thought, that by adopting an indifpenfi ble and rigorous meafure againft the eflablifhments of the Cage du Cnitawrre and of the Co upoir Geon em-rciAit was ncceffary that thole concerned fhotild be fubjetled to at little inconvenience as puflible. and that the Bank, by admitting them to chfcount. unght without delay to form a fulsflitute for the they received fwm their own cflablifhments. To the WORTHY and INDEPENDENT ELECTORS of the COUNTY of CARMARTHEN. Gesercesien, T TAKE the earlieft opportunity to explain to you why I have this day given up any farther profecution of the Petition I had 'relented to the Houfe of Commons, complaining of the undue EleCtion and Return of Mr. Hamlyn Williams; a Meafure which I ihould never have adopted. had rot the& dour Friend* who arc here, as well as myfelf, been convinced that the Jake we fought for,and which we thou. ht ourieices intitled to esped, became extremely uncertain, by the courfe which we found ourfelves compelled to purfue. It may, perhaps, appear fingular to many of you that I have abandoned the Petition at a time when the Committee had en tered mtn the difeuton of the merits of the Queftion. It he recolleded, however. that nearly a month has l• en conitimed in preliminary difeuffionsand areangernents,that ou: complaint egainft the Sheriff had been unfuccef)ful, and that tl.e coerce an which we were prepared to proceed in the Scrutiny of Votes was difapproved of, and we were compelled to adopt an arrangement fur which we could not he prepared. and which would have led to a length of diftuffitin of which it was imp,.fable to form any calculation. In this thump:in of things it was the rpinion of our Counfd, after the molt mature confideration,th at uncles fuch unforefcen difficulties the belt caufe might be defeated.and that the expellee omit be equally ruinous to all parties. I his honeft advice in duced our Friends here to urge me &tangly, to yield to imperi ous neceffity, and to retreat from a conceit, at a period when I could do fo with honour. I accordingly complied with that Advice, hut 1 hope that I have done fo with as little difadvantage to your interefts as the nature of the cafe permitted, and 1 folemnly allure you, that iso apprekenfion of expence, however great, no confiderarions in the trait degree perfonal to myfelf, have at all mixed them &lves with this determination. But, Gentlemen, though difappointed ita(nur ezpedatioas at prefent, we are not vanqulibed. The folid and Independent Imrreits, by which I bad the honour to he fupported, remain entire, and as for myfelf, I Osall neither he out of your County nor poor view, but remain among you, devoted to your In terefis, and determined to perfevere in your Service. I will I, Mae with avidity every opportunity topromote the general and individual Intereft end Profperity of the County of Carmarthen; and at a future period, thould the fame generous and kind At tachment again call me forth, be affured that the fame devotion to your wiles, the fame determination to fupport your Intereft and Independence, than, with the utmott chearfulnefs and ala crity he evinced by him, who has the honour to be, with the greateft truth and regard, Gentlemen, Your molt obedient humble Servant, Aprils, cSos.

JTALT. GCNOA,MARCH 10.—Partks of foldiers are daily arriving from France, to complete the half bri gades in Italy. French troops are alfo marching to the upper part of our territory : they are to form two armies : the one of obrervation, and the other afting._ NAPLES, MARCH frigatcsfrequently arrive here,to fetch need:tries of various kinds for Admiral Bic K ERTON'S fleet in the Mediterranean, which is continually receiving reinforcements. HOLLAND. Larnem. Aram s.—Our letters from Paris of I the 3t fi of March mention, that nothing certain is yet publicly known in that capital relative to the quettion of peace or war. Even in regard to the armaments made by the French, the newfpapers are filent, obvioufly by injundtion from the Go- vernment. The greateft astivity of labour is, how. ever, going on in the dock yards. The French troops are, every where, in movement, and on march towards the !bores of the Ocean and the Mediterranean, towards Italy, towards Holland. The public, who cannot Phut its eyes to there fafts, draws its inferences, and rnanifetts its anxiety on Exchange and elfewhere. HAGUE, APRIL 5.-At length three (hips from the Eaft Indies, with very rich cargoes, have en tered the Texel and the Meufe. Our Government has fent out certain fait failing veil--is with difpatches and fecret orders to the Go vernors of the Colonies in the Ea!t and Weft In dies. Within thefe few days, too, the Grypvogel and Circe have been put into alive fervice. But their deftination is unknown. Yellerday morning a courier extraordinary brought difpatches to the French Ambaffador, of which he has notified the contents to the Batavian Government. It is a requifition to the Govern ment of this country, to take into its pay and fer vice, four other battalions of infantry, and three fquadrons of cavalry, which, with the other corps already in the Batavian fervice, will raife the whole number of the French troops in this country to 15 or i 6,000 men. Another fall of the funds is ex paled tomorrow, when this news (ball be known at Amfterdam. Baron BIELFIELD, the Pruffian Agent at the Hague, has been nominated by his Prutlian MajeC ty to ferve in the fame capacity at Conflantinople. Count LIMNER, the Diana Miniller at the Ha_gue, has obtained leave to relign. ROTTERDAM, AtiuL s.—Common report, it not aElual circumßances, feems at prefent to prepon derate on the fide of war ; preparatory to which, a beginning has been made with the marching of French troops into this country, two battalions of whom are already arrived at Breda ; and for Italy they are proceeding from all quarters, where, in cafe of a rupture, their prefence will be more im mediately necelTary. Spain feems decided to adhere to her ally at all events; and it is more than probable that Citizen Dustoc has fueceded in the objell of his million at Berlin. Should the atm be a lto favourable at the Court of Peterfburgh, it is not likely that France will hefitate longer, the French Government being enraged at what has recently palled at the Cape of Good Hope. The Englifh, in the mean time, are making the molt formidable preparations againfl an expelled invafion ; while there is no lefs ativity employing in the French ports. As long, however, as the Am haffadors of the two Powers keep their Rations, and the negociations continue, hopes of an accom modation Rill remain. LONDON. SATURDAY, APRIL 9.

Since my !aft the Amazon frigate has arrived from Portfmouth. and with her Captain DODD, Aid de Camp to his Royal Highnefs the Gover nor. The day after his arrival it was given in orders, that every regiment now in Garsifon, to the exception of the 54th, and the Royal Artillery, fhould hold themfelves in readinefs to embark for England. At the fame time his Royal Highnefs announced his intention of returning to Britain immediately, and the cabins of the AMAZON are now fitting up for his accommodation. The inhabitants part with their Governor with much regret ; they have, they fay, enjoyed under him advantages with which they were not before acquainted : and as a proof of their gratitude and affeaion, a fubfcription was yenerday let on foot to purchafe a diamond (tar, to be prefented to his Royal Highnefs—in the firft half hour wool. was congaed. A brigantine of war came early yefterday from the Mediterranean ; the brought intelligence that the 13th regiment was on its paffage from Malta for this Garrifon; and at the moment I write, I fee his Majelty's (hips ALLIGaroa and EIPERI MINT from my window: they have juft come to anchor in this Bay, with the regiment alluded to on board. The plague, it teems, has broken out in Alex andria, and, by that misfortune the remaining part of the Britifh are fixed iq Egypt ; to embark them under loch circumftances, might be fatal at once to them and to Europe. There is a fmall Portuguefe fquadron now here. It had been up the Mediterranean to attack Al giers, but met with fo much damage in a thunder tlorm, as to be forced to feek fhelter in this har bour, without making any attempt on the Bar barians' batteries. They expea a reinforcement, when they will again proceed on their voyage. Yeßerday Mr. Straw and Mr. Vscc, the mef fengers, were fent by Minitters to Windfor, with difpatches for his MAJESTY.

A Gentleman who left Helvuet. on Saturday, at two o'clock, Rates, that thirteen American tranfports, and fome French frigates, were then there,- for the purpofe of conveying the army bound on the Loutfiana expedition. They were all embarked, and only wa n = the arrival of Ge neral VICTOR, the Com er in Chief. The nest morning, a little way at tea, he heard the guns fire, which was to announce the General's arrival, and paired through a fquadron of Engli(h frigates that were waiting to intercept the eve ditton. The Committee of the Houfe of Commons, ap pointed to confider of the propriety of employing perfons Grilled in the art of fhort hand writing, to take the evidence adduced before Committees on controverted eletlions, with the expence thereby occafioned, and the manner in which the fame amid be paid, have reported it as their opinion, that, in an cafes where the meafore of employing fo ikilkd has been adopted, much benefit rst a ftlted to the parties, by expediting the bu finds, nsortening the time of taking evidence, and thereby confiderably len - ening the expence. They therefore refolved, that, in all fuch cafes, certain fees per day, and for the tranfcribing of the pro. ceedings, be allowed to the perfons fo attending, to be defrayed by the parties. We are informed by our Dublin Correfpondent, that in eonfequence of information to that effea, Mr. Juftice Gamier proceeded on Tuefday left to a houfe in College-Green, in fearch of tome printed papers of a difaffetled nature, reported to have been circulated by a journeyman printer, in eorrefpondence with tome perfon in London.—A box of papers is Paid to have been found and con veyed to the Caine. but there is reafon to fuppofe that their difisfeeion or their treafon did not rife higher than Napper Tandy's letter to Lord Pat.. oast, Lord Logistics, or Mr. EkLIOT. We have always thought, that even in their political errors, the people of Ireland have ailed upon principles allied to good fenfe, and we &Gold, therefore, be the more forprifed that they could for a moment look to advantage from a connexion with that country and that Government, which has to Cr . elly difappointed the hopes of philofophy; or ima gine that a man, who. in his afpiring and inordi nate ambition, kicks from him the ladder of free dom on which he sok, will verpea the liberties or intereas of a nation, over which Lie obtains do. minion by arms or mediation.
