M R~ V r FRANCE. PRIVATE I.T.TTER, PARIS, JANUARY 6. The FIR T CJNSTIL appeared nn the parade at yefierday, being the 15:11 Nicole. Betive..ii 1 . e.. en and eight tholit - And men v. ere 3,7rrohled, confiding of the Regiments of Confular C:oard, Aied et a chews' ; and fome ctker Regi rn.mta, bii.light as ufual from the neighbouring c a ntonrr..rit. _ The '.l.imeluke Guard being Rationed at an in convenient distance from Paris, were not utdered on this occafion to attend the Parade. The Place de Cainuf.:l and the Court of the Thuilleries, were filled with troops, and all flit• timed in a manner that, fuperbly appointed as they all arc, gave a grand coy grail to the fpfla. tors. His t.r.otru!ar ilfajcfiy mounted his white charger loon after twelve o'clock, and kt off on' a full gallop immediately to the extremity of the line, i-slowed by his Staff, confining of Generals and Aids de Camp about twenty, and one mount ed Milmeluke fuperbly attired, preceded by Gene ral Jasor, Commandant of Paris, and two Aids de-Canip. In this nrdtr he r -aff:d the line of Infantry within the OA:: t of the Thuilleries, and afterwards that of the cavalry in the Place de Caroufel. • He was frequently ftnpt in his progrefs by a number of women rind fomc lbldiers, who prefent cd petitions to him, sail of which he received with great affability and attention, and delivered them to the Officers in waiting. This day the 7. ONSUL was dreffed in the uniform of the Cunfolar Guards, blue with white facings, but without any lace of gold nr filver, and a plain hat, fo that he was diftinguilhable by his marked fimple attire, whilft his Officers who furrounded him were in the molt magnificent dreffes. Citizen RAP?, famous for his expedition to Swit zerland, attended the Consul., but took his poll at the head of a Corps d'Elite, which he commands ; as did Monf. BEaunaftwots,NladatreßoN•ratert's fon, (about 20 years of age), who commands the fine Regiment of Conhilar Chaffeurs. General BERTH I E R, ssith a long lift of other celebrated Ge nerals, took their proper Rations as Commanders of Brigades. After the bufinefs of the Review was over, eight fine hones, four greys and four bays, were brought our to be (hewn to the Con sot. They were a pie lent made by the Ambaffador from Tunis; they are Arabians and extremely beautiful,aud of condi much approved of by BONA? ART!. BONAPARTE, then, gave audience to his Gene rals, and, when ended, the Levee began ; it was not fo much crowded as on the laft occafion, nor were fo many Englifh anxious to be prefented. The Gentlemen who were prefented at the laft Levee dined this day with the FIRST Cottsut, be tides many Ladies ; at the head of whom was her Grace of DORSET. About three hunched perfons were prefent. The Confular dinners are unique ; they are ma• naged with the fame addrefs as moll of the other Ineefures of this Government—thy/much—for they never lag snore than twenty minutes.—Let John Dull take this hint, and remember, that when he attends the Thuilleries dinners, he malt only cue& to gratify the eye, not the appetite. The dinner over, the FIRST Consul. was very converfable, and took up the charafter of a private Gentleman, in which juftice mutt allow he appears to much advantage.—On all occafions he diftin luilles the Britith Ambaffador ; the reft of the Corps Diplomatiquc are obfequious. The one I named is manly. FROM THE PARIS PAPERS. ...—... . HAGVI, DLC. aB.—Government has prefented to the Legiflative Body the plan of a Volunzary Loan for 24,000,000 florins for the expences ut 1803. We 111211 know in the courfe of next week, whether this plan is adopted or rejeEted. The propofal, however, canted a confiderable deprei lion in our Funds. The report which has been circulated in fome of the public papers, that a certain number of French troops were to be clothed and equipped at the expence of the Batavian Re public, is wholly without foundation. Dr.c. 3o. —The laft accounts from the Texel Rate, that the corvette the Ulieg had failed with the tranfports having nn board troops, &c. dellined for Batavia and the Moluccas. Several veffels have alto failed with troops for Surinam, Demerara, and the other Well ladia colonies. The difeontent of the merchants of Amfterdam, in confequence of the plan of Finance pre poled by Government to the Legiflative Body, nianifells itf.:lf in the Ad• shares which they ate daily prefenting againit it.

We can almoft affert, that an official demand has been made for the removal of there emigrants to a great diftance from the frontiers of Switzerland. LONDON. TUESDAY, JANUARY H.

A report ha; been in circulAtion fince Friday lafl, that a Spanifh Officer repaired to our Settlement in the Bay of Honduras, and made a formal de /nand of the fin render of the Settlement in the name of the Mull CATHOLIs: KING. We have not beard that any •flicial notification of this demand has been made to Miniflers by the Court of Ma drid. It is moil probable, however, that fume points remain to be adjufled between the two Courts of ferious importance, which retards the nomination of Ambaffadars, ant the conclufion of the Treaty that has been fa long in diCcullion. It is Lid that the General Conititution for Switzerland has already been adopted by the Con fulta at Paris. The whole was the relish of one day. It is needlefs to remark on the indecency of this conduet ; but it is fo clear that Switzerland is completely fubjugated, that it is needlefs to pre ferve the forms of free deliberation even upon the molt interefting quctlion that can he fubmitted to a people, or their repefentatives. It appears that the Members of the Confulta do not agree upon any principle or plan of conilituting the particular local government of each Carton. Indeed the nhule (clime is crude and violent, and Switzer land will, in reality, have no law but that which may be enforced by the French troops that may be left to garrifcn their country. Letters from the Hague Bate, that the Go vernment has fubmitted to the Legiflative Body a Propofition for a Loan of 2.t millions of florins : it is not yet known whether it will be adopted or rejecled, but it has already had the effect of lower ing the Duel Funds very confiderably. We are I)nppy to bt able to (late, for the fatis. faction of the Public, th:tt the Surplus of the Con folidated Fund, ending tile sth of January, 1833, amounted to 1,248,33:1.; being an excels of 399,3291. in the three quarters, beyond the 4,533,0c.:1 which was calculated as the amount of the Stu plus of the Confolidated Fund for the whole year, ending the sth of April 18.23. The revenue ariling at this time from the new Malt Duties is immenfe ; the increafe on wetting down of the Barleys of the late growth is very large, and this year, for the tira time, falls within the Government Duties, _ . ..... The plan for confolidating the Agency of the whole Britith Army into one Office, is preparing to be laid before Parliament immediately after the Rccefc. _ . On Tuefday lei a meeting of Merchants was held at the Guldhall, at Newcaille, on the propos= ed extension of the bonding fytlem ; when it wa; refolved to apply to Government to have that port included among thofe which were allowed that privilege. We - have formerly Rated, that the Emperor ALEICANDEIt had ordered payment to the lliiiiifh Merchants, of the damage fullained by the Ruffian embargo. It is pleafant to know that the propor tion of the money due has been remitted to the merchants in different places. The Merchants of Dundee have received their proportions.

Bin —When Madame Rtsi CAMILICS grand hate bed, the moil cooly and ele gant in Europe, was properly finithed,lhewasembar raffed about the means of fhewing it to advantage. To afk people to go and look at it, to make a thee of it, was deensed a vulgar and oftentatious muck. About a fortnight or three weeks ago, fhe invited a large party of the principal perfons in Paris to a fplendid ball, which was to be given on a Mon day night. The ball was given accordingly, hut Madame was. tin much indifpofed to appear. She had hopes, however. that file would be able to rsccive her friends' vilits next morning. Ail was gloom and furrow at Madame's indifro. fition, and all Paris went next day to enquire the fi.rte of her health. She was well enough to receive her friends, but not to quit her bed.— Every one was !hewn up to the hate hed.room, in which Madame was fitting tip, drefrsil with more apparel than flue wears %Alien Are goes nut. Her night-clothes acre of the first articles, and the richca laces which Eciope could produce ; hut the ned !--every one was amazed at its richnefs and grandeur.
