Vefterday are receive 3 Paris journals to the 24th, and this morning to the 25th inflant. They bring one ♦ery important piece of intelligence, though, from our own preparations, it is perhaps what only could have been expelled. On the 2 zd, apr jet of a law upon the finances was fubmitted to the Tribunate. It is precifely upon the plan of our &did ; and after taking a full view of the re venue and expenditure, it begins its eighth and laa Cation, in the following words:— " The Government demands a Bute of credit of 400 millions francs, to defray the cxpeuees of the feveral departments of ad tr.intftration for the year 12 (the year commencing the 23d September next), and that it Stall be authorized to take that Alm upon the produce of the talcs, and Other public revenues of the hid year. " Your fedion of finances has thought this demand *ill not be refafed, however eonfiderahle the credit required may be, partieukrly in eireamitances in which we fee a foreign power, bound by a folcnin treaty, affiet apprehenhlona of Its duration." This propofition being put to the vote was car ried by a majority of 59 to s. From this we fee, that though the Atoniitur long preferved filence, refpeaing the rneafures adopted by our Govern ment, the Tribunate were preparing to aft. The FIRST CONSUL can now boaft of his vote of credit, and that not a (mall one : it amounts to above (lateen millions and a half Ilerling. Will BONA ?elm, with fuch means, abate any thing in his demands, or concede any point for which our Doi Milers are noW contending? It may be true that the public opinion in France is againft a war, but it is idle to infer any thing from this as to the iffue of the prefent difcuffions. By the accounts from Bourdeaux we are inclined to think that commercial men in France (peculate for a war. There have been large purchafes made of Weft India produce, and of Inch articles as are likely tobe enhanced in price by a rupture between the two countries. The French funds continue rather to decline t on the 23d they were at 55(090c. The Emperor, it is now (Wed, confines himfelf to a requeft, that the demand he before made for the addition of a number of new votes to the Col lege of Princes [hall be taken into confideration by the Diet, and feparated from the difcuffion on the general Coady/ins. It does not appear that any very ferions obftacle will be thrown in the way of the final termination of the bufinefs of the indem nities, although the Emperor will douklefs make every exertion to obtain a fufficient number of new votes to be added to the College of Princes, in or dh to counterbalance the increafed influence in that body, which has accrued, by means of the new arrangement, to the Houfe of Brandenburg. A mail arrived this morning from Holland, which has brought us the following : H4out, Manor 12.—We have very little news here at prefent. The great quellion—fhall we have Peace or War ? is the fubjea of general con verfation. An ardently with that the prefent dif ferences may be accommodated in a friendly man ner; and if credit can be given to the affertions of many perihns who pretend to be well informed on the fubjea, all hope is not yet loft. On the other hand, fhould the flames of war, contrary to ex peaation, be again kindled up, a confiderable body of French troops, it is Paid, will march hither to cover our COAS againfl any !mane invafion.— The report thatts,ooo French troops are already on our frontiers, isnot yet confirmed. MADRID, Fss. rt.—The fquadron commanded by the Lieutenant General of Marine, Doa Do- MINGO DI NAVA, which conveyed their Era uRI AN MAJESTIES from Carthagena to peghorn, has re turned in nine days to the former place. The Royal Ordinances of July 1,3784, and Jan. 8, :802, which declares that all books coming from foreign countries, in whatever language snd on whatever fubjea written, cannot be fold in Spain i until a permillion has been obtained for that pur- ' pole from the Council of Caftille, are Qill carried into execution% ith the utmoll firiclnels. This day the proprietors of a great number of books import ed into thii country for fome time pall, and which love hitherto been lying in the different cullom houfeq of the kingdom, requefted permiffion from the before mentioned Council to crook them to file, but without limas ; as a copy of each work mull Ara be fent to Madrid, that the Council may be enabled to judge how far the reading and pro pagation of fuch works may be beneficial or hurt- , ful to the inhabitants. To repeat all the idle rumours foggefied by Fervid imaginations, propagated by felf.interell, and modified according to the different views of thole who are the fucceffice channels through %%Melt they arc conveyed, would tire the mitience of our Readers, they are to oppofite and conua• didory. The fubjed of•mofl general cnnverfation is an elite/led change of Minitlry ; and, of coorfe, the concerto:ion which Mr. ADDIACITOII had with ISIS MsjsSTY on Friday, could only relate to the propofed changes!! 1)(1111e went fu far as to Cab that Mr. PITT WAS mrnediately coming into power. Other changes .1 a different kind were fpnken of, and it was Paid .:rat Mr. Fox and his friends were coming tn.— Perhaps it will be thought that the former account is more probable. Lord Mat.vtt.t.► has been at Weimer Cattle, and has returned to town. Perhaps big Idwdthip has been the medium of conveying propotols to Mr. PITT. If it be true that any change is in contemplation, it mull quickly be ditcoveral. I DUBLIN, MARC'S 24.

THe Cnsca.--Satitrday morning his MAJESTY, attended by General MANN E RS, rode to Afcot ' Heath, and there met the Earl of SANDWICH, and a numerous field of Gentlemen fportfmen. A t half pall ten the Royal Deer was turned out of the cart for the day's diverfinn. At firft letting off, the deer ran with great fwiltnefs actors Arcot Race ground, through Sunning Hill Bogs, by Rings' Beach Hill, towards Bagfhot ; taking to the right by Tower Hill and Csfar's Camp, he was taken in a farm yard, by Eafthamftead Park, after a run of nearly two hours. The day being very warm, the hounds and the deer were fo , much tired, they could not have ran much farther. This deer was taken in the very fame farm ground where he was laft hunted. The day's !tort was very grand. Coos siwc.—The long expefted great match, Colonel THORNTON'S/WV'', againil Mr.Dunawn's bitch, took place on the zsth inft. (as briefly Rated in this Paper on Saturday). The following is a more ample account : Mr. DURAND'S houfe had been named as the place of meeting, and Epfom for the Colonel and hi, friends; but intimation having been given by Mr. D. tc the Colonel, that the multitude of people would be too great to hope for any trial or fport, Carffalton was named and approved by Colonel THOwN TON. _ _ At eleven on Friday, the company, with Mr. Dv It•t4D, met Colonel THORNTON and his friends on Sutton Heights. Several carriages with ladies graced the fcene. The day was brilliant. About Soo horfe, all well mounted, drew together. Two brace of greyhoundhinblueand buff (beets, were led from the carriage (chaife marine), and finally Major, lbeeted in rich buff colour, on the right fide ernbellifited and embroidered with the armorial bearings of the family of THORNTON ; on the left, richly embroidered in letters of gold, was feen 4 , Major, aid at frku ultra." The dog of known fame, The Hero of the North, was (ripped ; he ap peared in good condition, gay as a lark (although eleven years old) ; but he was admitted by,die Colonel to be too fat, not having had a run for Come months, except a courfe ar two, which, from the politenefs of Mr. Moms Amos BURGOYNE, he had at Mark Hall. Mr. Down came forward, and bandfomely acknowledged the forfeit ; he laid a box hare was ready; the company wifhed to fee Major run, and with him a lively little bitch of the Colonel's.— The hare bad about two hundred and fifty yards -law, and, from a blunder of Mr. D. Sures, the bitch had one hundred yards advantage over Ma jcr. The odds were that they never turn her, the Colonel offered to take them; in a few hundred vards the bitch, which gained ground, got up to her, and foon after M a jor got in, they turned her alternately, when Major threw himfelf at lean five yards at her, and killed her. &coma Couasa—Phantafinazeria and the fame black bitch were turned down, and bets were pro. poled on the hare againft the dogs, the Colonel offered to back the dogs, none would accept. Al tcr trying a little time, a hare was fluted, the contell between the dogs and bare was very great, when Phanoifinagoria threw her up. The next courfe of confequence was a trial of Maj7r and the black bitch: a hare had finlen away and was not intended to be run (the company all ailing like fportfmen), and the hare was a full mile off, when a ruffian, in a (mock frock, with the lungs of a Stentor, loon took away the dogs. !The bitch, catching a fight of her, as the afcended hill, got up to her, and played away, turning her. Mr. lisaunoar alto had paffed the comps. ny, like an arrow, laid in Major ; the dogs, from the feverity of the courfe, and heat of the day, and no water, were nearly exhaufted, when Major threw himfelifull fevers yards at her, caught her, and lay for dead, the hare got away, leaving a great part of her !kin, and got into a hedge, the bitch topt the hedgc full (even feet, the hare did not croft, but had crept down the ditch and died. The bitch, to fare her life, was bled, and with difficulty recovered. This courfe was full three miles. The lark courfe was then defired to end the day with Phatelafarapria and SaperaaltaraGa, who had a very fivers cowrie while running, and the com pany divided. A hare flatted near the Colonel's greyhounds, when Staloraitria ( a whelp' by Pharstafwagoria, and out of Carra, filler to Clara and Csarini) broke his couples, and in (beets ran to clofely that he killed her, after many turns, to the anoniniment of all fportfmen prefent. Thus ended, to the fatisfaltion of all pairs, the Surrey Courting. The company dined together at the Greyhound, at Cadh.4lton, and paned at a reafonable hour. Mr. BE umomr, who lcd the 'field on a Jupiter borfe of the Colonel'', in attempt ing to take the fecoad hare from 410 jor, Era and hart hinfelf very mach. N..IUT !CAL 11VTELLIGENCi. MAILS THIS AIR.
