An order was this day issued from Lord BATHURST'S Office, Foh:l:iting all A:nerican subjects from pro ceedi;,g to that tountry by the British Packets, with out obtaining regular Permission from the British, Goiernment. It seems that great numbers of Ame rican-s, who ought to have considered themselves as. prisoners of war, have clandestinely shipped them- 1 selries for Halifax Bermuda, and the West indies,, • and. thence to North America, proceeding in many, cases through the British naval and military arma smuts,i and thus performirg the honourable office of spies to their own Government. We have received Paris Papers of Wednesday.— The Chamber of Deputies, on Tuesday, was occu pied with hearing the Report from the Committee on the State of the French Finances. The debate was adjourned until Monday next.—ln the mean time, the Committee suggest the sale of the woods and fo rests, and that of the property of the Communes. In three years the King will be able, with these resources, to extinguish the enormous debts of the State—the rase of interest for which is to be eight per cent. A prnjet for an agricultural code was also referred fur farther consideration. Our illustrious hero the Duke of WELLINGTON has reached Paris : he appeared at the Opera on the 23d. There is much grumbling, if we are to believe the French papers, at Corfu and at Venice, at the new era. The English arc represented as severe task masters, and their measures are ev-ry where unpo pular.—We do not believe a word of all this. The King of Sardinia has expelled the Jews from Piedmont ; or 'rather, we ought to say, that he has tescinded the Code Napoleon in their favour. This operates as a sentence of expulsion, and it has accord. ingly teen sir interpreted by the principal Jewish fa milies. Count Rapp, the Ex-Governor of Dantzic, has got a cordon of the Legion of Honour. ' PARIS, AUGUST 24. ROYAL ORDONNANCE. • Lewis b;• the Grace of Gon, King of Frarce and Navarre, ice. In publishing our Constitutional Charter, we ob served a that the wish neale)t our heart was, that all Fr's:shwa should live as brothers, and that no bitter recollections should disturb the security which ought to follow upon such a solemn act." This declaration, and the dispositions of theConsti- tional Charter, call all Frenchmen equally to the en- joyment of civil and military rights. Henceforward the inset iptions on the lists of emigrants were effaced, and no distinctions cm be admitted in the eye of the law, between Frenchmen, who groaned under the Usurper in our absence, in France, and those who consoled us while residing abroad. Nevertheless and io contemplation of the law which we intend to pre sent to the two Chambers upon the restitution of the goods not sold, we have judged it necessary to pro nounce positively this abolition, in order that there may remain no doubt in the tribunals or administra tive bodies as to the condition of any of our subjects, sind to reserve especially the rights of thirds (les droits des tiers), which in no case must be compromised. For these causes, we have ordained— Art. I. All the Inscriptions on the Lists of Emigrants, and still existing, for want of, being erased, or for a failure of the execution of the conditions imposed" by the Senatus Consultum of the 6th Aortal, au I. or by whatever other title, are and shall be abolished from the date of the Constitutional Charter. Art. 2. In consequence, all Frenchmen insetibed on the said Lists, on whatever pretext, may exercise all the political rights which this character guarantees, and enjoy the civil rights at tached to the quality of Citizen under the express reserve of the rights asquired to the thirds, and without prejudice to them. Oar Ordonnance concludes with the usual order for making it public.) (Signed) LOUIS. 21st Augirt, 1814. Dom IlltAT, ChatlCenen • _ • Count Rumford, Member of the French Institute, and of the Royal Society of London, died in the night between Sunday and Monday, at his country-seat at Auteuil, in cohsequence of a nervous fever. This ce lcbrat;:,4. man deLlicated his whole life to the study of tilt:, sciences, and always twthe interests of humanity. $e has left several works, which cannot but make b.s merno:y be cherished. lie was in the 60th year of his age. His remains were interred yesterday inoriing ;:t Auteuil The following is the discourse sthich was yesterday 4::.:4e:sed to the - Pupds of the aliferent Lyceums of ,Faris, by the Grand blaster t f the University ( Fou -1 4 f,:• - j), at the auquAl distribution of prizes: " Y,ong Frenchmen—You behold again what your fat' ers tv ; you respect what was the object of the. , ltoalage. Y...ur 'five and they love : the present and t;e is:bt. are no longer at variance. Fiance has re sumed the nat ur,l coarse id he r d est i n i es . » Fee the lam 15 yea rs revolutions have succccdeu revolutions. It was wished to Al eve, Wag k iraswished to renew every thing. The invincible force of things has restored every thing to its old state. el When that 'recent and happy change terminated all the ot*, the University had no need of changing its spirit and opinions. It is the friend of old tradi tionary usages ; it must bless their. return. It is happy in assisting at that triumph of time and recollections. Before its re.establishment, all plans of education had been tried. go many fruitless efforts bad not ex hausted the mania of systems. It is always amidst the: noise of the fall of empires, that wild imaginations are employed in regenerating the world. It is upon ruins and tombs that they proclaim a new art of instructing and governiqg men. The course of ages has seen more 'than once the renewal of this disease of the human mind, which ferments societies by I know not what dreams of perfection, at the very moment of their decline. " The Univcr3ity has not delivered npP.4teation to the danger of false thedries. It procee d in the old paths, which are the safest; it res:;reed that children should be taught wbzz their ancestors had been taught. Confined within its modest functions, it had an right to judge of political acts ; but the true notions of right and wrong were deposited in those immortal works of which it interpreted the maxims. When the French character and sentiments were in danger of being altered more and more by a foreign mixture, it caused those authors to be read who recal them with the greatest grace and energy. The authoi of Tele machus and Massillon eloquently preached what could not otherwise have been uttered bake the ge nius of conquests, impatient to destroy every thing. nay even itself, in the excess of its own ambition. By thus re-establishing its old literary doctrines, it suffi ciently spewed, not without some danger to itself, its predilection for its old political doctrines. " It takes credit to itself for the management which it thought it necessary to adopt for the interests of the rising generation ; and without insulting what has just appeared, it receives with enthusiasm what has been restored to us. And how much easier becomes now the task of inspiring morals and virtues,—it will point to them upon the throne. This blessing is common to us with All Frenchmen. There are others less important, doubtless, but also of some interest, and arida are peculiar to us.' When an empire is extended beyond the limits assigned to it by nature, it receives into its bosom new masses of population, which bring to it other languages and other manners. The spirit which founded, the spirit which preserved it, takes an un natural direction, and is weakened ; for patriotic feel. ing never can strongly prevail but is a country wisely circumscribed, where all the habits correspond. The influence of foreign idioms insensibly corrupts the purity of our native tongue; taste, learning, and the arts, are threatened with approaching barbarism. a Those well-founded alarms are dissipated. Let ters are about to reflcurish under a king who loves them, and who, in his moments of relaxation, adorned his mind with all that they possess of amiable and elevated. No longer with a low voice, but loudly, shall we henceforth invoke, in these annual solemnities, the, fine age of Louis XIV. that age of our literary glory. Until the statues of that great Prince are re erected in our public places, let us rekindle the in. cencc which he formerly received in the sanctuary where we assemble May his glorious shade again appear amongst us,.escorted by those of the great men from whom his name and his reign can never be separated The aspect of this spot could never afflict him. The misfortunes of his royal raceare avenged. His descendant bas re-enteted into possession of his inheritance. , 4 Young Frenchmen, you partake of oar emotions and our joy ! No longer will you be exposed like 1 us to the hazardous experiments of an unknown Go vernment. The legitimate Government has arisen ; it is, in some respect, paternal authority which re. sumes its rights. Ask our annals, you will see there the glory and the happiness of France increasing from age to age under the wise administration of this an cient dynasty. The King whom we have recounted, is of that glorious blood so dear to your fathers; of that blood wholly French, in which heroism mixes with goodness. That King whose soul and whose mind have been enlarged in the school of adversity, will render himself beloved like the chief of his holm, having been, like him, persecuted by fortune. His return is a blessing to Europe, as well as to France. A Bourbon alone could give peace ; and peace re turns with him. Rejoice, then, 0 you whom war mowed dowed almost in the threshold of life; peace brings back with it lengthened prospects for your youth, and ease to the hearts of your mothers ! It secures, in fine, to your labours that developement l and those fruits which will one day form the riches of your riper age, and the ornament of the country." CORFU, AUGUST 3. Before their departure, the French and English Officers fraternized, and had several grand dinners together. But since the departure of the French troops, tranquillity has ceased to reign. The Eng lish cannot fail to admire all the works executed by the French for the defence of our city : it was truly im pregnable. Much was also done towards its embel lishment. Agriculture has made great progress in -he island. The environs were studded with beauti .;ll curoniodion.. hoses. Land. vlid. was two rare since waste, a now in cultivation. Every where the apes Of the garrison had become proprietors of farms. The apathy of the Greeks had been exchanged for • French. activity and industry.

The meeting ;acted six hoursi -14 Tex: day CoUrieiv were dispatched to Vienna, IP tdandon, and to St. Petersburgh. A solemn mission will be seat to the Russian Capital. For several days pasqainades have been, affixed to the walls against the Jesuits, the restoration of whose Order is very unpopular. VENICE, AUGUST 9. The state in which we are is the most afflicting in the world. If we have not the good fortune to see our ancient Government restored, it would be at least desirable to know to whom we are to belong.— The English and Austrian Commissioners govern here; and as they do not understand any thing of the orders which they give, the greatest inconveni ences arise from-this conflict of powers. This con fusion ha; come to such a pitch, that within these few days the English Commissaries have refused to allow' any national vessels to leave the ports of the ancient Venetian States. Enormous losses will result to our Merchants. Certainly we were very far from thinking that this would be the result of the peace.— The example of the Genoese, who have been restored to their ancient Government, has made us conceive the same hopes, since the Allies, when they entered this place, declared that they would restore all to the ancient footing. We are assured that the Patricians. Albripri, Con tarsal, and Pepoli, have obtained no success in their dalltands on this subject, when they waited upon the several Allied Soveteigns to whom they were deputed. IIdFAL INTELLIGENCZ.

It appears that the forces ant, and mending, have po colninon object. They are directed to different points; and although they are ao doubt intended to annoy, no &Make result is expected evidently from any cepabinpaien in their proceedings after their asriraL Th lserefore, which some politi 'cians noightoneWt, that the operations are alto. 8 gather rif a penal nature, and intended to punish and 'chastise. Is el is a proper object of military enter. prise ? No war tan ever be prosecuted with justice upon a principle if rearsadon. Admitting the'Aatkleuns to have injured and in: suited us, and to-have &ewe, by the time which they chose for entering into healthy, that they are actuated 'against us by malicious Inalrell, is our Government justified in departing horn all the hoaourable pun. ciples which lead to war, by adopting a retalliatory policy towards America ? We conceive that the poll. tical object of the war is to establish certain rights claimed by the one country and denied by the other g and the object, therefore, of the militaryoperations shouid be to attain some advantage which shall have the effect of convincing the American . Goventnient of the impracticable nature of some of its pretensions. Now it might be asked—How is tilts to be attained by fendiqg the greater part of the military force to Canada ? It is very true that Canada is the point assailed by the Americans ; and it is no less true that the facility:with which they have annoyed us in that quarter, is owing to the vagueness with whiCh the frontiers of the Province were settled by the Peace of 1783. The geographical ignorance of the Ititbb negotiators of that Treaty, has laid Canada in so great a degree subject to the enterprise of she Ants. ricans, that it may be greatly aseessary iq our Go. vernment to wish to redeem the elects of the fatal ignorance alluded to ; but this can ciair be a secon dary object in thli war; and. therefore, the spaiu force vent to Canada can only be foe duo ckfesce af that Province. Now we would ask —Mudd sha so. curiq of the Province not be as eireetnelly eeetrred by employing that form offensively apieet the Uaited States, as by leaving it in Canada ?—for we are no; to believe that any object of conquest is contemplated in the employment of that division of the army. It is observed, that a division of our army is d. asked against the Southern States. We hem of to loge force having arrived at Bermuda. arid 4 maw detachments having actually landed in one of the Florida. Wtiat is the object in view ? Is this force adequate. to beet the militia of the Southern State/ Is it not sent at a period of the year when the peed, lent fever of the country always mates its appear. once ? Is it intended to proceed, after landing, north. ward ? Does it propose to take possession of any of the seaports t If of Charkston, or any other, is it sufficient to maintain itself against the enemy and the sickness ? For how long ? Because it will not be affirmed that the force is sufficient for a geperal sub jugation of the country : and if the insane s7se se of a war of paints is to be attempted, it may be asked— What is to be gained even if the expeditions prove successful; which, when the season of the year, and the character of the militia of the Southern States are considered, is at least problematical ? Those who have not attended to the difference between the militia of the Southern and the Northern States, may not be aware of the importance which we attach to this difference. In the Southern States the Ameri cans, from the necessity of being ever ready to sup press insurrection among the slaves, are a trained, if not a regularly organised military body, of the best description for the woody warfare of snch a coiling. In the North it is far otherwise—and hence that in, feriority which has been manifested in their attempte on Canada. May we not ask, then, would the oh. jests of the war be less likely to be attained by direct. ing the whose force. towards one principal object? and, if the taking possession of towns be part of the system already adopted, would it not be more eCec tual by being more comprehensive ? If the force to be employed in the South be for that purpose, would not a similar employment of the force sent to Canada send to attain as great advantages as are at present expected from its operations? The war in America seems, In our opinion., jar ink from the imperfect information before the public. ae to the disposal of the force sent there, has two objects in view; and as such, being a divided aim, there is less chance of either being attained. The effective defence of Canada will not enable Govern ment to remedy the errors relative to . the boundaries committed in the treaty of 1783; nor will it at all affect the real grounds of the war—because it brings no interest into the discussion of the question of putt 'tical rights The force in the Smith will also, to a certain extent, prove detective in its consequences on :he general question; for, as we have observed', i s is not, adequate to effect any permanent co quest, ant is also inadequate to take possession of any such uu.a• ber of important points as might be belt, is 611 means of procuring in negotiation a cessiou irons Ott Untied States of the entice dominion of the Lakes-- without which we shall always hold Canada by fickle tenure. In a case ea full of difficulty, any person m nffer'his opinion. Is it not worthy i , f examinati whether it would not be better to abandon the id of em.,,foying a divided force, and to suhstitut:. war fur a precise object of central conquest—:r 'A a view of holding it, but as the mean.. of ol tuning the cession of the dominion of the L a kes ?- For, le Americans havitz shewn that their real of jeers were the attaining of Canada, and dividing wit us the Sovereignty of the Ocean, our aim of court must be ultimately to secure ourselves.
