FRANCE. TROM THE PARIS PAPERS. &my, D,e nu nen 18.—We have received or fin II news of the highen ;moot rano' fi ofn All the Drputic., ha% log arrived in that city, were, by a commillion of fin!. Senators, requened to rueet on the loth of December, in the Paper Room ut the Oilier of the Milliner for Foreign Affairs. They met accordingly. BARTHELF MY, one of the Senators cf the Commiffion, with Roux and ROE PENNI, its Sect etai ies,there communicated to them .1 letter from the FI RST CONSUL, dated St. Cloud, December to, and addreffed to the Deputies from the Eighteen Cantons of Helvetia. The fubnance of the letter here follows: The prcfcnt crite-al fimation of Fie.lvetia demand: from al! parties an entire factifice of their factious and frififh pat: one. i 4r Fi - tt Uonful will fulfil his engagements, and reftore wan quiji!y to svenzerland. He expeds the Deputies to aid his in tentions. Switzerland is a count r y difting untied from all other; by the pecurarity of its local circu:nftances. It is formed tor a Federative Republic by the very hand of Nature. Circom fiances had there ellabliOnd fovereign States among where ;jel l were dependent. Other circumitances have introduced a g .ncr eqtAi:y of rights. There are in Switzerland both pure democracies and governments engroßed by particular fa wilier, both cannot continue to fuhlilt together. The three ; rir civic on which alone tranquillity can be rc-cltahlitbcd, arc Caere—a general equality of rights among all thc Eighteen Can tons; ati entire renunciation of all 'Arittocratic family-rights; a federative conformation in rcfpi et to each particular canton. Mu t . thc cartons that' have been conitituted, the enurfe of the central Government will be eafy. The revenue, the military force, the political adminiftration, will be different in different cantons. Switzerland has not hitherto had a ftanding army, nor Antbaffaalors in ordinary to foreign powers. Commerce, and a Government of a (mall expenditure, are the two things of the chief importance to this country. The French and Italian Republics cannot agree to the inltitution of a Government in Switzerland, that might become either diredly or iodiredly huftile to their interests. The infurgents have acted under the influence of the enemies of France—they have infulted the French nation—they have declared thentfelves 'plat an equa lity of rights. No party, and trait of all, that of the infurgents, is to triumph in Switzerland. It is the duty of the French Go vernment to take car: that there mall not he formed on that open frontier of the French Republic. a fyftem Millie to it. A Government mull be eftablithed in Helvetia, loch as, in its fpirit, may be always friendly to France. The Fiat agful will take into due confideraton whatever plans Mall be corn nwnicatcd to Lim from the Deputies, whether individually or After this letter was read, Citizen Bair sir v fignified . that the FIRST CONSUL was ready to re ceive a deputation of five of the Deputies, to be nominated by the Helvetian Ambaffador. Citizens KUTTINIAN, MULLER FRIDBERCI, KUHN, RHEIN- H4lO, and &Amy, were accordingly nominated. They were to be prefented on the i tth or tath of December. The Deputies in general have been requefted, in the mean time, to cpmmunicate their refpetlive plans to the Senatorial Commiffion. The French and Helvetic troops of Soleure have fuddenly marched for Laufanne and the other towns of the Pays de Vaud. The caufe is not known ; they are to be replaced by a battalion of the to4th demi-brigade. General Stains has arrived at Berne, to give the General in Chief a circumftantial account of the aeltial fituation of the Eaftern Cantons, which he has travcrfcd in confequence of fuperior or2crs. DPCEMBER zo.—The intelligence we have re ceived from our Delegates at Faris, is more and • more fat isfaelorv. The three Deputies of the Se nate, Citizens Kuli N, RHIIIIIHARD, and sPArrsv, were prefented on the 13th to the FIRST CONSUL, and were received in the molt favourable manner. On the lath the Congrefs held its Second bitting. They will employ themfelvcs fucceflivcly on the Conititutions of the different Cantons. Vita:az, Die. learn by letters from Cordlantinople, of the toth November, that two French couriers have arrived in that city, with difpatches relative to the evacuation of Egypt by the Erglati ; one of them was to continue his roide to Egypt. The fame letters announce, that the Englifh male every effort to make one of their (hips appear in the Black Sea before the French vale's, and on the 7th of November a fhip under Englifh colours aflually entered that tea. The Chef de Brigade SEBASTIAN! is now, it is Paid, travelling along the coatis of the Levant. The Spanifh Minifler, the Chevalier de CORRALL, has• been infulted in one of the ftreets of Conflanti nople by a Turk, who was in a Hate of intoxica tion. All the foreign Miniflers have interfered in this affair, and the Porte has prcmilcd to make proper fatisfaCtion. Hamaueott, Dsc. t7.—Some differences had arifeh between the city of Lubec and the Duke of Or DINBOU lc, in regard to the indemnities affigned to Lim in exchange for the tolls of Elsflefh. The latter not fatisfied with his portion, applied to the Court of Raffia, and requefled the Senate of Lu bec, after informing them of this flep, to fufpcnd takints, poftenion of the property of the Bifhopric atIS C rand Chaptc: . , till all aufwcr ilioultl be rc• ctived from the 1:141.5.K0R of Russ IA : ithoiot paying any regard to thefe remonftrances, d Sc i..ite of La', tout: pail:llion of the property to which the ke W o.ocssovitc, formed preteii fv•n,.

" The THAMES frigate failed on the 3d init. for Portfrnouth : when the THAMES left Sir RICHARD Sick scrox, he was lying in Orilton Bay, on the weft tide of the ifland of Sardinia ; it is an excel lent anchorage place, and it is the &ft time an Englifh fleet had ever been 'there. The different fhips were all remarkably healthy. " The only Britilh man of war here, is the Ac- TIVF frigate, which is (till lying in the Mole. " The troops from Alexandria are expcaed here by the middle of January. The Regiments that come to this garrifon are, the loth Regiment,Wat teville's, De Rolle's, and the Chaffeurs Britannique —the rea go to Malta." The affairs of Switzerland have affumed that afpeet which alone could be expected from the ta cit permifllon given by Europe to France to dic tate to that people. Free men may regret the fituation of a virtuous people, reduced to fuch Rate of foreign dependence, but till a very great change takes place in the prefent cireumflances of Europe, no amelioration of their Rate can be ex peeled. The feizure of the territories by the Danilh troops, which were intended, by the Plan of In demnities, to be given to Lubeck, is now ezplain• ed a little. His Danifh Majefly is only acting for a relation, to fecure to him, if poffible, what his own means could not in the general fcrarnble. Cossrawrisorss, Nov. tB.—The Porte has re• ceived news from Egypt, which have not been pub hiked. Hence, and alto from what is reported by the dependants of the Porte, it is concluded that things go on badly there. Should this be decidedly the cafe, the Grand Vizier may, very probably, atone with the left of his head, for having been the author, of the fyikem of extirpating the Beys in Egypt. ST.PETEILSZURGH,DIC.7.—By aFrench courier returning to Paris, our Monarch has written to the Futsr CONSUL, and moil ftrongly interefted himfelf in the fate of the King of Sardinia, of Switzerland, Piedmont, Parma, and Placentia; ob fereing, that he cannot believe the general report, which lays, that thefe three countries are to be in corporated with the French Republic. Admiral Count Mom:Amor, Minitier at War, has reigned. His MA J F STY held a Council yeacrday at Wind for, at which molt of the Cabinet Minifters at tended, when it is underftood the Commiffion was figned for the trial of Colonel Defpard, and the perfons implicated with him.

Mr. HILY ADDIAGTON is gone down to Har wich, and ye flerdav was retuFned for that Borough, vire J. ROBINSON, fq. deceafed. Count AWDOVAGA is the new Minifler appointed by the Court of Madrid to our Court. Orders have been transmitted by his Excellency to pro vide a fupetb place of refulence for him in Lon don, but his arrival is not expeded for nearly three months. Private letters from Amfterdans, brought by the Batavian Mail, fate, that public credit has inf . - feted much by a propofal on the part of the Go. vernment to change the Refcriptions, payable af ter the Peace, for National Paper, without any definitive period of payment. In confequence of the propohil, the Refcriptions fell nearly Five per Cent. in the courfe of two days. The hurricane of the 2 T ft of November, and the rains which follow:A, caufed much damage in the MAI it ime Alps. A part of one of the mountains WAS thrown down in the Commune of E,a, by Ish;. !I the communication hetwesn Nice and Men ton was entirely interrupted. A (hock of an CAI tlmiake was felt at Elbetif on the 20th which laled tight kennels. A violent form alio happened there the fame day.

She left Jamaica on the loth of the fame month ; and on the fecond day after her failing, the yellow fever made its ap pearance on board. Capt. &ravens, the Com mander, the two Lieutenants, two Midlhipmen, the Boatfwain, the Surgeon, the Surgeon's Mate, twenty-feven feamen, and twenty-nine foldiers of the 85th Regiment, fell a viaim to its dreadful ravages. The fhip, on its arrival at Halifax, was immediately put under quarantine, and proper medical Alliance afforded for the relief of the fick, who were greatly recovered when the letters came away. She was to fail for England as loon as the health of the furviving part of her crew would admit. When the letters were difpatched the fever had entirely fubfided. FACHOUTH, DECEMBER 29. Arrived the brig Juno, Capt. PATTERSON, from the bay of Honduras, out 19 weeks, with ma hogany, for London : a very ftrong gale at S. S. W. having prevailed all this day, the parted her I I cables about one o'clock, but fortunately letting go another anchor the was brought up with little damage. It is much feared, as the gale con tinues, that fome of the velfels in harbour will drive from their anchorage. Arrived alto the (loop Friendfhip, HARRIS, with coals, from Wales. l'efterday paffed this port for London tbeAme rican fhip Fabius, Capt.

The whole of yefterday it blew a moll tremen• dons norm at South, and continued without inter miffion until about nine o'clock P. M. ; fortunate ly no accident of any confequence happened within this harbour, except in the cafe of the Relief Mop, belonging to the Viaualling Office, which was driven athore in Teal's Bay, and is there ftr andect; the crew all raved. In Boveyfand Bay however, which is within the limits of this port, the Pratfall galliott Jonge Jan Swaart, Captain Lost', bound from Amfterdam to Bayonne, laden with various merchandize, was there driven athore about two o'clock this morning. and we tinder nand both veffel and cargo totally loft ; the craw wereaUprovidentallyfaved, by taking to their (mall boat, and running for Plymouth Sound, and they were taken on board his Majefty's (hip NEm cat:, of 28 guns, Captain Son sari Lis, at anchor there, where they received every care and attention ; and this morning about eight o'clock, they landed at this place : they found themfelves fo much employed during the gale yefterday, as to make it impoffible to weather the Mewftone, and they sere reduced to the neceffity of coming to anchor not far Prot:. the Rocks, where the veffel rode out the gale near eight hours ; but as the tide ebbed, her fituation became fo critical. that the crew refolved to rifle their lives in the boat, though the had received confiderablc damage, previous to their attempting this only chance of faring their lives, which was providentially accompliffied, though at an immenfe hazard, as the fca literally ran mountains high. Came in the Dutch fhip Juffrow Maria, Captain JACOB SLUYL, from Amfterdam, bound to Smyr na, laden with bale goods ; the Dana brig Kil -1 liffart, Captain Jacos Jacossoa, from Briftol, bound to Malaga, ih Indian ; the Danifh brig Young Samuel, Captain MIEROP, from Copal liagen, bound to Naples, with merchandize ; the Dutch galliott Zeiwenfcht.

Lail night, about nine o'clock, the American (hip Juno, of New York, Captain CLAIR r, bound from Philadelphia to London, was driven athore at Wrinkle. in Witfand Bay, within this port: the crew, and paffengers, confining of a woman and four children. were all providentially Caved, except one little boy, who is miffing : the (Lip very for tunately got on a land bank, and though it is feared the will be loft, it is expaled tl.4t part cf the cargo. confining of flour, cotton, cnff:e, furs, • &c. will be Caved ; every Rep to arcom:.iifh this übjea has been taken, and a proper gLard of Rs venue Officers and others placed on the fpot, to prevent plunder by the country people: the cargo is very valuable. Mr. CLOTWORTHY MERCIIIANT, and his boat's crew of four men, were very near being drowned this morning in attempting to board a foreign %cf. fel going into Catwater ; their boat was Clove, and had it not been for the affiflance of other boats which were near at hand, they would moll pro bably have loft their lives.
