The prefee of La Meurthe has prohibited the car rying of arms. None are allowed to carry arms but s.,ich as shall have paid all their taxes. Young men under eighteen cannot obtain them unless upon the security of their relatives. The armourers alone are forbidden to -sell ire arms ; they must keep a re gistry of the purchasers. lIREMEN, JUNE 2. Three %hips of our city have been takes. In die present war it appears that the English do not acknowledge sr:wets. They say, that if Hanover had not taken up arms, the French Government would not have treated that country hastily, but would have merely occupied it in the same manner as it was occupied ►y the Prussians in the late war. AMILNS, JUNE 9. Three Portuguese ships, laden wth cotton, have' been taken at the mouth of the Somme. R ap- pears that thr English have adopted, with regard to neutrals, still more violent principles. They take every thing. miLay, Just 1. The Vice President has published a Decree of the First Consul President, stating, that as the King of England ha: authorised his subjects to fit out pri- •ateet s against the inhabitants of the Italian Repub lic, .11 the Italian ships of War shall cruise against the English, that letters of marque shall be granted to all such as shall demand them, and that the same measures ps those adopted in France shall be taken against the English in this territory.

They 1 , have appointed the Commanders Montclare and . . Count Rasisti, to congratulate the Grand Master, / in the name of the Grand Prior of llussia, and to deliver to him the part of the Archives which was in this city. They have also orders to go to Mes- sina er to Malta, or to anti other place where they may be able to finil the Grand Master. The Court cf Vienna has officially contra dieted the report, that the ports of the Adriatic would be shut against the English, and that Walachia has been ceded to the House of Austria. 11 Citizen Laforet is appointed Envoy Extraordinary and Minister from the Republic to the King of 1, t Prussia, and Citizen Otto, in the same quality to i the Eleaor of Bavaria. Ou the morning of the 11th, at eight o'clock, a part of the mounted Consular Guard set out for Brussels. It is thought that the First Consul will set out on the 14th for the departments where he has been expelled for several months. 1 if The plague, which the English brought from . Egypt, continues to make great ravages at Malta. I The precautions are redoubled at Marseilles to • 1 prevent it from extending to that place. NANTL, JtNE 9. p.... war.

Engknd promised * 'besides, to give up the Bataviaa vessels which she has taken. Thew inadmissible proposals have been rejetted. as aho the demand made by the English Ambassadors, that the English Agent ar rested at Heiroeulnys, by order of the French Com mandant, should be set at liberty. Citizen Jacpel, an °Seer of the Batavian Marine, returned here the day before yesterday, from Lon don, to which place he had been sent in a flag of truce, with dispatches for Citizen Schimmeipas ninck. He left London the let June. The letters which we have received state, that the greatest dis may prevailed in that capital, in the coaestsercial classes, particularly since they learned that the army of Hanover was on full march fur the month of the Elbe and the Weser, threatening to close, all this channels through which England can convey its ma chndize and manufacture into the Continett. SO UTNIV.I RK ELECTION. NINTH DAY. The interest exerted in behalf of the Candidates, appeared, on this day, to be nearly exhausted ; from eleven o'clock until twelve Sir Thomas Turton did net obtain a single vote, in wampum* of which the High Mani.; Sir WatkiOLeivisi , earne on the Hustings, and. declared the coat,* The Bamboo were, F" , ,r the Right Wm. °.

The majority of ac cepted roses having appeared in favour orthe Right lion. George Tierney, he considered it his duty to pronounce the latter My eleaed, and returned at Representative for the Borough of Southwark. (Cheering for a long tintr.) rya. Tt sixty, amidst the shouts of the populace, who prevented part of what he had said from being distiattly heard, repeated his acknowledgment of the favors ht had received from his friends, to whom he 1,0'..ed up with gratitude for the ezmions which had been made in his behalf; he lamented much the contest had been protraaed so long, as the worthy Baronet might have resigned somber, and prevented the inconvenience which many had in curred, by being obliged to neglea their different occupations. '1 he most material injury sustained by the perseverance of Sir Thomas Turton was, what he alluded won Wednesday, namely, the life of an individual lost to society ; he did not impute that accident to the worthy Baronet, but it was one of the many occurrences the public had to regret, occasioned by the continuation of the contest. He repeated many of his former observations respeaing his situation on the poll, and concluded with again expressing the sense he entertained of the favors heaped on him by his friends, the whole of which he should not forget to the latest hour of his life. Sir THOMAS TVRTON, its reply, said, he had COO •sented tocloso the poll after having obtained a majori ty, which he considered as lawful votes; and although the sante had been refused by the High Bailiff, he placed the greatest dependence on behig esestroed a Representative for the Borough of Southwark by their authority. He could not fail to take notice of the maimer in which the Right Hon.

On a former day he had stated. that it was not his wish to countenance those persons who had shcwn a disposition to behave disorderly, nor had he acknowledged any of that description ; upon public occasions, similar to that in which they were then engaged, it too frequently occurred that persons ill disposed in4ulged in uncoutrouled riot and public disturbance ; but he would assert there never had been known an election carried on more quietly and orderly than that; an election wherein the freedom of elections had not been assumed. If any persons had behaved indecorous, he would have been the first to have disclaimed them. After expressing his gratitude to his friends for the sop. port he had_ received, he concluded by again in sisting, that a scrutiny should be made,respeaing the farmed votes, and appealed to the High Bailiff for that purpose. The High Bailiff consented that a scrutiny should take place in the lawn-Hall on Tuesday next. The Cancldites then withdrew, and the popu lace quietly dispersed. The pollhooth was taken down.
