PARIS, ti Pitt VIOSE (JANUARY 31.) it three months pall attempts have bei:n made ' to ciiculate, under every form, pieces of intelli gence as contrary to the conduCt and policy of the Government, as thee are dellitate of foundation. Ciittor ils hive been 4:fembled, and aliftird fpecches have been put into the mouths of the different • oiatins. InAl this we hare fern nothing but tri.l fli: g, and a want of that agitation to which great events hive accuftomed us for the lafl eleven' years. At this time 141fe reports are circulated in the &par m e ats, where attempts have been made to excite anxiety in the minds of thole who I.4re acquired nannnal property. It has been fills pofed that this property will be exclufively fitbjefl to a particular tax ; and this idea is circulated at the yr y moment that the Government has pub liLhed the law in the re-united departments fur the fate of the national property, to increafe by their produce the amount of the linking fund. We think it our duty to apprize all good citi zens, and particularly thole in the remote depait trients, who are moftly liable to impofitions, to pay no attention to thefe fuggeflions. The fill duty of the French people, the firll policy of the Republic, will be to maintain in full protection, and without any diflinCtion whatever, thofe who have acquired nati• nal property. In faCt, to have had confidence in the Republic, when it was at tacked by the whole of Europe, to have united private fate and private interelt with the fate and ink' ell of the co:nmunity, mull ever he confidered as an aft highly meritorious in the eyes of the State and of the people. In the department of the Cote d'Or, the moll .I;faltrotts intelligence has been circulated refpeB- I the troops lately embarked at Toulon. IVe Lan atfitre the fathers of families that this intelli. I,ence is altogether falfe, and they ought to fee that the only objeCt of thefe infinuations is to re tard the confcription, which is at prefent going on iu tnat department. It is not at all extraordinary that our enemies Avoid feek to foment in the State every fpecies of inquietude and difunion. To good Cin'zens it be' , ngs to keep themfelves on their guard ligainfl all flich foiggeitions. The enemies of our repofe ought to know with what avidity the youth, who arc now called upon to (erve their country, flock to their ftandards to take the place of thole I note advanced in years. One day they will march in their Reps, and imitate their concs& and their bravery. I _ _ In fame departments of tke Weft, a report has been circulated, that the falt-tax was about to be re-etiablilhed this year, and that deliberations on thi. cubic& have taken place in the Council of State. The report is falfe ; whatever concerns the profpe►ity of the d-partments of the Weft, which hive luffered the molt, will for a long time be the fpecial objet of the folicitude of Govern ment. Our fituation does not require any aug mentation of import. Government is now occu pied in deviling means fur their diminution, and not fur their increafe. 12 PLUVIOSII, TS{. S.

RATISBON, JAN. 1..--We have received the im portant intelligence that the Au(lrian troops now in g a r rifon at Paffau have received orders to quit that city, and to remove into Innvertel and the hi(hopric of Salt7.l3nrgh. The evacuation will take place before the cnd of January. This order has beets given in confcquence of the convention con cluded on the - 16th of December, between France and Anitria, to which Rutlia has formally ..cced ed, and which it aflually fabmitted to the appro bation of the Deputation of the Empire. BASLE, J As. 26.—The important intelligence has been received from Paris, that all the cantonal organizati tins are completed, and have received the approbation of the FIKST CONSUL. There will be tranfraitted officially to the fnperior authorities of the n ineteen Cantons, in order to be prefented, accord; ng to the anal forms, to the acceptance of the Helvetic people. The democratic Cantons will fulaftd as before, and their ancient conflitutions will n tit undergo any change. All the other cantons will 'oe governed nearly on the fame principles; an equality of rights forms the principal bails of all the cantonal organizations. AMERICA CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES. On the ald of her a menge was read from the Prefident Lewis, his Secretary, imparting to the Hou e the information requelled relpeiffing the violation on the part of Spain, of the Treaty between the United States and that. na tion. 'the mell'age is as follows : " Gentlemen, I now Man* a report from the Secretary of i State, with the information req• ifit, in your Refolution of the 17th infL in mating this communication, I deem it proper to obferve, that I was led by the regard doe to the rights and M- I terells of the United States, and to the jug fallibility of a por tion of our fellow-citizens more immediately affetftrd by the ir regular proceedings at New Orleans, to lofe not a moment in caufmg every Rep lobe taken w!,'cb the occafiun claimed front me, being equally aware of the obligation to maintain, in all cafes, the rights of the nation, and to employ for that purpsife, that jult and honourable means which belong to the charade: of the United States. (Signed) " 'TU., rrrrrr um.° The mefrage was accompanied by letters from Ole American Conful at New Orleans, the procla notion of the Intendant, a letter from the Gover nor of the Millifrippi territory, written to the Go. vern,w of Louiliana, and a letter from the Gover nor ch' . Kentucky to the Prelident. The Captain of the ()tip Serpent, arrived at Bar celona t:olm Guadaloupe, after a (port pafrage, hates, that the Blacks there are fitbdued. That jai before he fai:ed, in the beginning of Decem ber, the Black General PALERMO had been fur prifed in his camp 1.7 a company of hiiirars, and put to flight. Sixtecn Blacks were kiiled, and lit taken prifoners. Their whole force are calculated at and under an hundred. NEW Voak, JA'. 3.—C.•ptain II '.WLEY, of the brig Argonaut, wno arrivei: yeflerdty, in fifteen days from Antigua, on his pa,cage fell in with 15 French (hips of the line and 40 wanfports, having on board 6000 troops, with twelve months provt fions, bound to St. Doniingo. An critical ian dame of the illuflrions Washl MG. volt is to he immediately erected within the city a New York. Three hundred paffengers have arrived at Bal- timore from New Orleans. This has a warlike appearance. BALTIMORE. DEC. a7.—Captain Baltic ss, of the fchooner Molly, twenty days from Cape Francois, !fates, that Fort Dauphin is retaken by the French from the Blacks, who are all put to the fwor,i. The arrival of the brig Minerva was announced at Philadelphia on the 28th of December. She failed from Port Republican on the tyth inft. At that time reinforcements had reached Port Repub lican, under the command of General Be v NIT rc, amounting to 1200 men : and it was reported, that L'Archay, then in poffefflon of the Brigands, would flintily be attacked. It is certainly fine that the French are in pof. Con of Port Republican and Cape Francois ; the latter place is confidered perfealy fafe from (eve ral fur rounding towers having been evacuated by the enemy. Letters from New Orleans, dated December 3, flare, " that all the Americans there are required to take the oath of allegiance to the KING of Steam, or quit the place." St. Marks, it appears, has been befieged by Ge netal DkSS•LINES, who is not killed, as was re ported. General Risen AM RE ALI has left Port Republican, and proceeded to the Cape, and has left General WATRIN to take the command of the French forces in his abfence. The Commander of the Polifh troops is dead. Several Proclamations have been ;trued at St. Domingo Circe the death of LLCLI RC. They fpeak in raptures of that General, and exhort .ill the in• habitants to rally round the flandat dof ROC M • Ilk AP. ' r It is raid that the el:emit:ince of the arrival of the Hon. Mr. Nicholfon limn the Congrefs, in this city, and his &lire to difpofe of his infutance Rock, have created a belief that we arc on the eve of a war with either France or Spain, or probably both. The tame manner in which the Prehdent has com municated to the Congrcfs our ii•iiation with Fa. rope, and efpecially with Spain, dues not tacit a condulion. LONDON. MONDAY, FEBRUARY 7.

We underfland that Sir SIDNEY SMITH and another Gentleman, are shortly to be fent into Egypt with a Special Commitlion, of which the candour of the Commercial Colonel SIBASTIANI renders it fuperfluous to conjeCture the objefts. No perfon has co much influence, or Co fully poiretTes the confidence of the Turks, as the Au thor of the Treaty of El•Arifch. We yc(lerday received Paris Journals to the 3d. The elfoniumr contains an article intended as a contradietion to a number of idle reports. It is writtte.i with more temper than any compofition of this kind ufually has been. It alludes, but ge nerally, to the ftwies about Bos•vaeri affuming a new title, and even to the reports of the fpeeches which LANG UIN•IS and Fovcm s are laid to have held on the fubjeCt. It is fingular that no fpeeific contradiftion is given on this head, fo that the matter Hill remains open, fhould the FIRST CON SUL afpire to a higher title. The Nemirow contra diets the rumour of an increafe of taxes being in tended. The accounts from St. Domingo have evidently produced a very unfavourable effeet upon the confcripts in many parts ; nor is it furprifing. It is almoll impoffible that any fentiment can im prefs foldiers, old or young, to undertake with cheerfulnefs the campaigns of St. Domingo. The Pots has created feveral French Cardinals, among whom is the uncle of the FIRST CONSUL, one is kept in perm The Paris Papers copy from the Arm a ntoft atrocious paragraph, in which Mr. WIND 11•14 is expreftly accufed of having been privy to the at tempt to afTaflinate the FIRST CONSUL, in Decem ber 1799. This Raiment is fupported by a mif reprefentation of an expreffion uttered by Mr. Wisaitast in Parliament. We were prefent on that occaiion, and according to the impreffion we i received of that fentiment, it was perfeCtly inno ccuz.

Whether it was difcrect in Mr. WINON•aI to utter a fend- , ment liable to fo much mifreprefentation is a thing with which we have no concern. The French Funds are (till riling. They are 58 f. to c. ! Our Commercial Readers, we doubt not, will thank us for putting them on their guard againß a deception which is now in train to be praSifed againd thofc in particular who are engaged in the Levant trade. We pledge ourfelves for the truth of the datement, which comes from an authority not to be greftioned. In the firfl or fecond week of December laR the WIAZLS hoop of war, Captain Dolmas:, on her paffage from Oriflan Bay to Gibraltar, met twelve large French merchantmen, bound from Marecilles to Smyrna, with a numerous French Gam on board for that place. The fhips were almoll folely loaded with Well India Coffee, to the value of upwards of half a million herling ; by which, as Capt. Duan•st, who boarded them, learnt from fame of the people, they carpal to clear goo per cent. by again Ihipping it from Smyrna for the London market, as Mocca coffee, after being pro per/ foraged prepared at Smyrna. He alfo learnt that they meant to purfue this honefi kind of traf ' he in future, as the moll lucrative branch of the Turkey trade. They alto told Captain Duamast, that they had every reafon to believe that, in three :ars time, from ti,c mcafurcs which had been taken, they fhould con.plctcly engras the w 11,4 Levant trade, to the exclufion of the Eug lilh. We hope this timely notice will be the means of preventing the &ALI s in coffee from becomn.g the dupes of the iyfteru which we have jull fcribed. Among other important articles received Ly the Gibraltar letters, which we annotiriced on Saturday, we cannot help particularly ta,:ictr. g an Hofpital Return, which affords a firikilig and convincing proof of the beneficial effeas of the fyllem introduced by his Royal Highnefs the 11t.! , e of Keay. From the return alluded to it clearly appears, that from June 1796 to December 18°2, the average number of deaths, for five years and a half previous to his Royal Highnefs's arrival, amounted to 14.6 annually; but that fince he has affumcd the command, they have decreated to 13 for the la( lix months, being at the rate of only 25 annually. This remarkable difference is chiefly to be af cribed to the regularity and difcipline introduced by his Royal Highnefs, and to (hutting tlp the wine•houles, by which he facrificed one half of his income, upwards of 30001. a-year, to preferve the health and lives of thole era:ilted to his com• :nand, looking for his reward in the confcious in. tegrity of having faithfully difchatged his duty, neither biaffcd by interell,norfwayed by popt 1 rat}. We know, from undoubted authority, that no meafure or reform introduced by his Royal High. nefs, excited fo much difcontent among(l the foldiers as (hutting up the wine-hotifes, and obligirg them to drink in moderation at their ow•n canteei,,. Such unthinking beings are foldierc, that it %%.,.; thought the greatea pi - 41;We hardfhip to be de barred from getting beanly drunk with bad nine, whenever they had money in their pockets, though thee excefres generally brought them to puni!h• ment and difgraee, and often hurried them to an untimely grave !

Yellerday the W►AZcs Hoop of war failed for the fleet in Oriilan Bay. By accounts from Tangier. we learn that two Danilh, a Spanifis, and a french 'hip have been wrecked to the fouthward of that place, during the late (forms. The diareffed Rate of the Spanifit finances forms a (hocking contraft to the fpfendour of that Court, Their Navy have received no pay there three years * and at Carthagena, they have difcharged moll of the artificers from the Dock-yards and Arfenal, on account of the expence. Yet fuch is the profttfiat in fome departments, that in the late Royal tour, all the water that was ufed for drinking, by thf Royal Family and their attendants, was brought from Madrid to Barcelona upon mules, at the expence of upwards of one thoufand pounds ilea• ling a day. The Qsta preferred the water from Madrid, anal of courfe none of the Court could drink any other. Some thoufands of the inhabitants were obliged to quit their houfes to make room for the attend ants of the Court, and to leave every article of furniture behind for their ufe, while Jona BULL on a fimilar occasion would have been dicing five guineas a night for a bed. The CYNTHIA falls for England the moment the wind comes eafierly. If you have had as many abfurd (}Dries written home, as have been propagated here, you mull have thought the garrifon in great danger : among other rumours it was currently reported and be lieved, tl \at the Spanimds had marched 3spoo mete} down to the lines, and had fent (pies to offer a large fum of money, and a per.llon for life to every foldier who would give up the garrifon.
