FROM TIIE FRENCH PAPERS. r PARTS, Apiur. IT—Magnificent fetes are pre paring at St. Quintin, for the reception of their Majesties, who are expected to be there on the Hit h. APRIL 13.—A Council of Ministers, at which the Emperor presided, took place on Wednesday 1a tat Conipeigne. Avitir, 14.-1 t is thought that their Majesties will not go to Antwerp, until the month of June. Their departure fur St. Quintio appears to be fixed for Monday next, the 16th. We are assured that their Majesties will also visit Amiens and Cumbray. in the course of their tour. Auosuu Roo, APRIL 3.—The mere report of a uegocia:om between France and England has made such au impression en the purchasers of sugar and entree, that these articles have already fallen in value, unit reappear, in great quantities ) in all the unigazine , . BA Nits oT TRE. MerN, APRIL 7.--Tbe pacific reports which circulate in the North of Germany and Rolland, have had some influence on the trade of those countries. The sensation which they have produced ha, been stronger out the Exchange of Amsterdam than any where else. In the meau time these reports are variously considered. Some regard them as certain, some think they are doubt ful, while others assert that they are destitute of any foundation. Those who have lenge stocks of colonial produce are nut a little alarmed, as they are convinced th it a peace with England will make these articles fall at least 50 per cent. The mere ruintoir of an approximation has already cursed a reduction in their value, and - several houses are busy in making oilers of goods to their • currespondeuts. TutEste, Malmo 2-I.—There have been some Skirmishes between the Turks and the French, on the frontiers of French Croatia and Bosnia,' but though blood has been shed, it is hoped that the affair will have no farther bad consequences. The Turks of Bosnia, who are a kind of half savages, have long been accustomed to make occasionally predatory incursions into the . Austrian territory. They even attempted two years ago to tak6 pus. session of some Croatian villages, with a view to retaining them, but they were driien out of them by main force. When complaint is made to the Basbaw of Bosnia of these aggressions, he replies, that they arc done by worthless men, and that he would be well pleased to see them punished exem plarily. It is believed, however, Ott he secretly favuurs them, and has'his share of the booty. Semr.ist, MARcii 19.--We have received news from Coustantinople, by which we learn, that ♦ioleot dissensions had broken out in the subqrb cif • Scutari, between the Janissaries and the Seymens. Blood had been shed, and the parties had been several times engaged, but o hen it was known that the fortress of Silistria was threatened by the Russians, they suspended their quarrel, and una nimously called upon the Grand Seignior to put himself at the head of the army. The Captain Packs, and several Officers of the Navy, have been dismissed. TRIEsTE, .MARCH 23.—T.,..tters from Vienna state, that Count Metternich, the Minister of State, who was to leave that capital in a short time for Paris, arill most probably proceed on a mission to London. The first column of the Rus sian sailors and troops here will commence their march for Russia un Sunday next. They will joie another coluinn, which set out from Gorts a few days ago. Their route is by Lubiana, Pet. tau, Ofen, Am and through IVallachia. They will be three mouths on the march. VIENNA, APRIL I.—lt is reported that the Em. peror intends to make a journey to Paris, acconi. panied by the Archduke Charles. The period of his setting off is not yet fixed. - WARsATr, MAnen 20.—The Polish army is to be kept up at the establishment of 60,000 men, and the National Guards throughout the Duchy lira also to remain on their present footing. • BERLIN, MARCH 30.—Our Government has faker the necessary measures to pay off the arrears of the contributions due to France, without hay. ing recourse to measures of a description always Injurious to the State which employs then,. It is settled that the fortresses of Glogau, Custrin, and Stettin, shall continue to be occupied by the French and Allied Troops until the definitive pay. latent of the contributions. MARCH 31.—The Queen is to accompany his Majesty on his journey to Silesia, and also on his visit to Paris. ROTTERDAM, A MIL 15..--A letter from Vi cans says, " It is affirmed by persons worthy of credit, that one of our most celebrated negociators at this moment in Paris will repair to London, ac rom panied by a great Personage of the Court of Fiance, 'to treat fur a general pacification. - It is hoped that the happy marriage of our Arch duchess Maria Linisa, with Napoleon the Great, will fix tie destiny of Europe. Oit the 3d instant, an English brig of war, of 14 gnus, that bas been some time crnizing off I(avrc, sent one of her boats, with eight men, to board a French brig. coming from Caen. - The crew having abandoned the latter, the English had an easy prize ; but three pinnaces having set off from the shore with a detachment of the 7th division of the Coast Guards, the English were obliged to fly in their turn. It was now quite dark, and a gale having cone cln, the English could not find their vessel. They therefore surrendered themselves to a pilot boat, alongside of which their own boat sunk. They were landed next warning at Havre. The master of a vessel arrived at Genoa, from Cyprus, reports, that the town of Canes, the capital of Candia, has been almost totally destroyed by an earthquake. Sir A. COCURANE has employed the Cygnet sloop of war, Captain thy, to collect plants at Cayenne, Trinidad, Ale. fur the Botanic Garden a t Dominica, and amongst various ►aluable arti. del obtained through the zeal of that officer, and of Mr. LocKoLao, of 'Friuidad, are five nutmeg. trees, which, at the date of the last accounts, were thriving amazit►gly.

Wilkes, St, Jameairstreet, IV THE EDITO. laiving been rumoured in military eir. cles, that the Commander in Chief had it in con. temptation to make some arrangements conducive to the abolishing the Highland costume in Scotch regiments of the line—a costume sanctioned by ancient custom, and cherished by modern enthusi asm, much alarm has been excited in the few corps distinguished by this national uniform. Discus. sion has been at many and various times provoked on this subject ; but whether such an order would eventually tend to the advantage or prejudice of the service, has never yet been decided. Amen the numerous peculiarities incident to different countriesi there is, perhaps, none more singular than the rooted partiality entertained by the High. handers for the customs and habits, in every sense, of their ancestors; and in entering upon a milita ry career, numbers of this hardy race have found an uncommon satisfaction in retaining a badge of their nation, so dear to them on many accounts. Those who aro acquainted with the Scottish cha racter, must have observed the strong leadingttrait of partiality to all that is national ; and among all that is national, the Highlander esteems nought more than the garb of his. native - hillsilirt is not t now to be questioned, any mo re than is to be proved, that in all places and situations where the calls of the country have put Scotch regiments foremost, glory and never-fading laurels have en circled their swords. In the ranks of danger, and in the hottest of the fight, the Highland Thistle has ever appeared prominently conspicuous ; and though the plumes of Caledonia's mountains have oft been trodden on the plains, they revive with fresh vigour, and still nod terror and defiance at the common enemy. Beneath Scotch banners and Scotch badges, our Highland corps have acquired honourable distinctions so closely allied to those • banners and those badges, that to remove them were nut only dangerous, 'hut ititpulitic in a high degree. There hare scarce ever been any instan ces of innovations of national costeme, that have not invariably been followed by national disorder. The early part of the reign of Charles 111. of Spain was marked by a national cetivulsiun that made him totter on his throne—a convulsion ex cited by his edict to abolish the long cloak mad Spanish beaver: outrage succeeded outrage until he recalled his mandate. In later times, and in the history of our own country, many instances present themselves where.atteMpts at alteration in dress and customs have been attended with conse. quences the most disastrous. But, waving this consideration, and admitting the most tacit acqui— escence to changes in customs, is it a wise measure, supported by any good policy, to alionate from a proud people those distinctions under which they have made themselves formidable to every foreign foe ? Is it prudent to annihilate those emblems and those particularities that keep alive that inde finable spirit of enthusiasm so tine and so delicate in the nature of its essence? Patient of fatigue, and disheartened by no privation, the hardy High- handers advance and fear not. In the toils of the march the.) . are as placid as they are furious in the field ; and in every cog:lenient of notoriety they share in the palm. France of old dreads the plumes and plaids of Scotland ; and where those troops have thus signalized themselves under these national insignia, what thinking mind hut must condemn the policy that, in obliterating the little { vanities of a nation, may extinguiSh a fire which is even fed by trifles. No small murmur has been raised In Highland corps by a late order, tending to strip the officers of their epaulettes, worn time immemorial ; and although satire has put itself forth, and pointed out economy to soothe wounded vanity, perhaps one of the must excusable foibles of the Hightail. der is this very vanity in regard to appearance. Under every consideration, it is deroutly to be wished that this rumour may never be converted into reality ; and to the present Commander-in. Chief, who boasts his desceet from that country, it is to be hoped it will be particularly obvious, that invading the peculiarities of the Scotch nation can be grounded upon no sound judgment--:can be defended by no sound policy. While the Highlanders fight as bey ever have done, let them dress as they please; and while they dress the ene ow as well as they drds themselves, let their pre jtliees be as sacred as their fame is brilliant. I am / Sir , 4c . DOUGLAS. General Brownrigge, it is stated, is to succeed General Hewitt, as Commander-in-Chief in the East Indies ; and Sir G., Pacvusr is mentioned as the intended successor of the veteran Sir G. BECKWITII, in the military command in the West Indies. A German author having remarked that flies never settled upon an artificial magnet in his study though they did upon other iron articles, sug. gents, that iron might be magnetised, and em. played to preserve it (ruin being soiled by these insects, and perhaps also fur other purposes. Four Persons were lately found 41ead in a house which they inhabited at Killoterant, county of Waterford. From an attentive examination of their bodiesi and the situation of the building, it was ascertained that they had been suffocated by she mephitic vapour arising from a►k adjoining lime. kiln, and which had been driven by a particular wind ton ards the house. A young man in Bewcastle, Cumberland, who was not on good terms with his wife, resolved a few days ago to dispose of her by auction. Nut being able to find a purchaser in the place where they tasided„''she persuaded him to proceed to Newcastle for this purpose. Accordingly they set out, and this modern Dalilah laid her plan so well, that immediately on his arrival, a press-gang con veyed him on board a frigate preparing to get under weigh fora lung cruize.: A tremendous hail-storin occurred on the 16th ult. in the department of the Lower Alps, which did very considerable damage. Many of tlke hail-stones were as large as a goose's egg, and weighed upwards of a quarter of a pound. Six peasants were killed, many others wounded, and the loss iu cattle, &c. is incalculable. f . 7, SIR FRANCIS BURDETT.
