". 41 a late hour, last, night, we received Paris papers to the wt.' and Dutch to the 4.13,l instant. Their content% are interesting and important.— they preseat its with the animal E rposi of the state of the French Empire, in its internal and external relations ; and also the legislative proceedin4s adopted fur dissolving the marriage between INa- P0L60:41 and the Empress JOStPMINV. A report that a measure to this effect was in coutempla lion has prevailed fur some time, and has bred assigned as the cause far the assemblage of the va%sal kings and upstart relatives of NAPOLSOB, now at Paris. It has taken place by rumor{ con sent, given by the prrti-s, in presence of all the members of both frinilits, including the son and daughter of the Eue:rass.—By what means the consent of the latter was obtained, whether by threats or promises, or by both, for we tattoo sup pose it volinit try, we can form no conjeettire.— The character of the scan considered, it is 'natter of surprise that he should stand BO much upon me mony, and that he ilia not resort to the poi isoned bowl or the digger, to open a shorter and surer rout to the completion of his wishes.— This di-solution of marriage is called " a sacrifice of conjugal affection, on both sides, to the good of the a►rrotry;' by which we are to understand, that it is to couteinplatimi of souther marriage, with me mortlikaly to bear children, and that the Princess le SAXONY is the d•rstitted bride.

For, with all Its crimes and cruelties, he affected the character of a gond hus band, and the world gave him some credit for it. He his now divested himself of the o.ily virtue that saved him horn the imputation of unqualified vice.

To refindiate her now, is to convert the rank to whit he raised her into a source of punishment. It i% an act of the blackest ingratitude, involving the sio!ation of every moral obligation. Upon the other important article in the Foreign Pap. rs, the Exposition of the state of the French E o pine, we have not tiuie to indulge in observation, It boasts ths advantages that France has derived from the Treaty of Vienna, and holds out a hope of's, ad justineut of the present differences with America. The Hanse-Towns are to preserve their indepeud root. ; but the plan of incorporating Holland wish Vrance is almost directly avowed. The low. of. Cayenne and Martinique is made light of. bribe prrimmptiou that these colonies will be restored, in an improved condition, upona general peace; and Mexico sod Peru are encouraged to aseert-their in dependence, provided they hold 110 connexion with England.

We have extracted from a private letter from Stockholm, the subbtance of the treaty between France and Sweden. The cession of all Finland, as far its the head of the Gulf of Bothnia, in conse quence 01 the late peace between Sweden and Has. eta, leaves the former power disarmed cud de fesiceless, in case of a new ruptuie with the Court of Petersliorgh. • The aeccssion of CHARLES the XII Ith, to the Confederatimi of the Rhine, liy l one of the articles of the treaty concluded with BoRA PARTS, ranks Sweden among the vassals of France. The Corsican restores to the Swedes the smell por tion.of Point/lune, which, previous to the war, they occupied. The territory, however limited, yet, being a pert of the. German Empire, and the sole remains of the conquests of GysTAVIJs ADoLPHAIa, was not less dear to the pride of the nation, then Cahn* was, as than Gibraltar is. to the Englsob. But, to every beneficial purpose, the restitution of Swedish Pomerania, in its actuarstate, can be at headed "with no consequences. While Stralsund war strongly fortified cod well garri.utwd, it might . lie said to command, in some measure, the mouth of the Oder. In 1712, CutaLes XII. held out a long siege ageitist the N 1 1 ,46111115 lill , l Danes. in Stralsund ; from whence, when the place was re duced to extremity, he passed over i n to the Isle of 'Rugen, and regained Sweden. But NAPULEON his completelTdismantleid Stralsund, blown up the fortifications, and left it in the same condition as Clagenfortli, Vienna, or Fobbing. Report confidently affirmshat new changes ars Meditating in the Cabinet. However improbable it may appear, we are assured that Lord Mat.- ett.Ls, notwithstanding his advanced period of life, the recollections which his late trial must have left ,pu the public mind, and the many reasons which 6 iniAht induce him to wish for repose, yet is anxi o u s . xi o drairous of again mixing personally in the con -sct of State affairs. It is added, that his friends Ave r tNnly,.represented to hioi, the injudicious na ture of his wishes on this point ; and have endeu .. voured, without success., to convince him, that, at a trine when his son enjoys a seat in the Cabinet, and while he himself holds various lucrative appoint. meats, he ought to esteem himself' fortunate in his retreat. An Earldom has been even offered him, by way ofsatisfying his ambition. But, all is said to have been ineffectual. The Admiralty is considered as' his object. We by no means guarantee, in their full extent, the accuracy of these rumour. ; but we know that they are circulated and believed among those persons, who, from their situation and rank, as well as from their kiiiisterial connections, are likely to obtain the best information. We yesterday announced the arrival of an Officer lflam , ralty. with dispatches from. Admiral SMICNARD STA/1014N. announcing the complete evacuation of Walcheren by the British troupe. — The Officer alluded to is Capt. PAGF.T of the Navy, his dispatches are dated from the Scheldt, ou iirday lasts—The whole military force was with drawn from Flushing in the' morning of that day ; and alto the line-of-battle ships, frigates, gun-boats and transports, sailed on Sunday night. Sir It. STK/EVAN, in the Flyia; Fish, superintended the whole of the embarkation and proceedings, up to the moment of their completion. From the un favourable state of the weather, they were attended with much difficulty. About forty transports and other vessel, were driven ou shore in the late gales ; all of which were, however, got off, except two, which were totally lest. A large portion of the fleet. including the Hero, Abeakir, Blake, and Audacious, of 74 guns each, with a great num her in trausports, arrived yesterday in the D.wns. The wind having shifted to the north-east, we fluty presume that the remainder of the fleet has reached the coast before this time. We are sorry to state, that His MAJESTVA ship Ganiquede, Capt. CAVIC.Lat, in turning down to Yarmouth, in the Isle of Wight, from Spithead, on Monday, got on shore on Gurnet Ledge, about two miles west of Cowes, and although every ex ertion has been made, by starting her water, put ting out her gun., &c. it is much feared she will nut sae gut oit, as she is surrounded by rocks, and the tides are making off.
