France are as various as the con. jcctures of the propagators. An exchange of prisoners—egg civil message" from N 4POLEON, relative to the conduct of a British Officer, a prisoner of war in France—an exchange of the French Medical Staff taken at Walcheren, fur the British Medical Staff left in Talavcra—one of, the consequences of that vic tory—and a proposition of the French Govern. ment to admit colonial produce into France, if their wines, brandies, and fruits, shall be received by us in evhange—are the most prominent of the rumours now in circulation in this metropolis. When NAPOLEON begins to be suspected of sending " civil" messages—we surely shall not be deemed unreasonable in suspecting that to be a symptomatic disposition of his return to the "'ac. customed relations of peace and amity." Can those who now affect to believe him capable of civility have forgotten the many ridiculous afro. cities that bare been imptited to hiM in the treat ment of our countrymen whom the fortune of war has thrown into his hands! So far from seeing cause to alter our opinion of the desire of the French Cabiuet for peace, we arc, from a variety of coocomitaut circumstances, confirmed in that be. lief. A !kart time will show whether there be, on the part - Of the British Cabinet, a enrrespon. dent desire to terminate the sufferings of Europe, and the unexampled dissipation of the blood and treasure of England. Ceara, which has already been the subject of much contradictory rumour, is now asserted to have teen in the hands of the Spaniards on the lit inst. the governor continuing obstinate in his refusal to admit the British, until authorized by the mandate of the Supreme Junta. The Gentleman on whose authority this account is given is said to have left Gibraltar on the lst inst. It is added, that the British remained before Geuta in expectation of the return of a Messenger who had b •••is dispatched by the Governor to Spain fur in.. strictionsmand that our troops had supplied the famishing inhabitants with a quantity of biscuit. It is most extraordinary that Ministers shodd have received no certain advice en this hitherto mysterious subject. TUE letters received from India by the last ar. rival came down to the 15th of October last. The. flourishing state of the finances of the Company is said to be very satisfactorily dotailedin these cummunicationt.' The Company's Paper bearing an interest of tight per cent. which, in. 1798, was f of 4 at a discount of 17 per cent. bore a premium per cent. Among the many conflicting interests of the native Powers, permanent tranquillity is not to be long expected in the Peninsula; and from the in_ dieations of discord that have lately been mani feSted—it becomes probable that we shall be fur nished with a fresh opportunity for interfering in their disputes—the result of a itich is seldom unaccompanied by the incorporation of some convenient slice of the Peninsula with the Com. pany's Territory. While we have been fu. rious at the arrondissements of revolution.ry France our own robberies in India have been absorbed in the unwieldy magnitude of that disgraceful Eastern Monopoly, which, however, seems to totter from its very base...for it is neat to impossible, that the trade of India should long be withheld from the public merchants of England, while America freely visits every port of India. That active Chief llouLta is stated to be de ranged. Our Kt:Wm witty however; remember, that it is the fashion to impute madness to every adversary who is formidable. The insanity of Iloutan is prubably of the frame species with that of NA niteolx, who, to our great misfortune s is as rittid as ever. Indeed there arc not wanting those of " the College in Warreick-tune," who impute to Certain vigorous Ministers somewhat of obli quity of intellect. A French Journal of the 13th contains the fol. lowing fulsome Address voted by the Senate, in reply to BONAPARTE'a Message on the subject of his alarriage asee:—Tour Imperial and * Royal Majesty has bees pleased to aonnunce your approaching marriage with -the Arch-Duchess Maria Losisa. the daughter of the Emperor at Austria.. The Senate, Sire, feels most sensibly that joy which-all Fregehromi must experience on learning so metnorabk on event. —Every thing that Wants the happiness of your Ma jesty below WI al; Frenchmen: MOW Princes, wbom the wishes of the people of Anal Metal to accompany, will arrive on the banks o f fr— Wo bsaiii;i " Arrived. • .• 6.; . . • • • I 7 ' 4 .7... • Tll STAT ES MAN. the Seioe, sorrooadetl by the tributes of the grateful love of your people. Her pretence, in the capital of the Groat! gorpire will be a happy sign of the duration of that Continen tal peace which is cemented by the moderation of your dm ratter, and which perfidious insinitatioas can no longer disturb. Hew happy a destiny is that of NAPOLEON and MAILIA Louisa I The happiness of the world is in your hands, Sire, and your happiness is to be confided to that young nieces, shoos brilliant qualities have fixed your regards. Seated oar you on the first of thrones, and placed so high is your thoughts, she will fulfil the wish of the French peo plc, she will render you happy, sloe will charm the Hero's Moan of leisure! May France be Indebted to her for You r a PILINCBS, who, under the paternal eyes of your Majesty, shall learn to render themselves worthy of the great name which will be transmitted to them. By what gratitude will not tbe French be bound to her! They will love her for the lone of you; they spill lose her for all her virtues; they will, above all, adore her for the felicity she will give to you, and, like posterity, they will confound in their homage the greatest of Monarchs with her, who will have to embellish the most glorious of lives. May that precious life be also the longest ! Such is the must earnest desire of the French People. The Assembly decrees that this Address be presented to his Majesty the Emperor and King, by the Senate in a body. (Signed) CAMBACERES, Prince Arch-Chancellor •f the Empire, President.

A private letter from Milan has the following ,curious passage Ma anti I.—His Majesty has appointed M. CetoatiA, Grand Rabbi of the Central Consistory of the Israelites, a Knight of the Iron Crown. The LETTER inserted' this day, addressed to Mr. WHITBREAD, on the subject of Sir Ta,ANCIS BUR. DETT'S motion respecting the committal. of Mr. GALE .Tomts to Newgbtc, will be found highly important, and deserving the attention of the Public. Ma. ILty has this day taken his departure from London, to resume the duties of his office, as Secretary to the Catholics of Ireland, in Dublin. Whilst the girl of rittaar. and Mr. --AT were in London; we understand that several Members of the Legislature fought opportunities of expla. nation with them, for the purpose of doing away the alarm excited by foreign iafluence in the nomination of the Irish Catholic Prelates. It mast afford singular satisfaction to all true lovers of the British Constitution to reflect on the great advantage of the probability of a plan being car. vied into effect that would answer every purpose better than the establishment of a Royal Veto, meagre repugnant to the feefinip of theeatholies of Ireland, as expressed in the resolutions of the Prelate nod their general Committee. Independent of the consideration of the Veto creating an un constitutional infleence on the part of tho Crown, it is material that the powers and privileges of all branches of the Legislature shall be - maintained inviolate, to preserve the Constitution itself. The. general debate upon Abe Expedition is fixed for next Monday, and as it is already as certained that nearly 30 Members mean to deliver their sentiments upon it, is is supposed it will occupy twee days. Several Resolutions will be moved by Lord PoaCHESTER--One of thorn, it is said, will be a Resolution of-censure for the ap. pointment of the Earl of CUATIIAU. The American ?Agate John Adams is under or. dens to set sail.to-morrow from Cowes for the United States. It is generally beliesed among the' American merchants in • England, that she carries out for approval and satisfattion, if they be deem. ed satisfactory, 'the previsional terms of adjust. I ment, supposed to bo eoneludod between Mr. Prvcatixe and the Marquis WELI.IILET. The vessel charged with these dispatches will, it is said, first proceed to Havre, where the beet. informed merchants suppose, that She will take General Anurracitio on board, in order to con. vey him home. Of the grounds of this suppesi. lion, we are, however, ignorant; aiat, are 'like uninformed whether it is imagined tbse tkinSigni. stcr is to be succeeded by any other.
