II iroaxax INT!LUGINCL FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS, AV6. 2. Yesterday, about three o'clock in the afternoon. a young man, about 25 years of age, threw himself from the Poit-etekr into the Seine. Boats immedi ately went in search of him, and brought him on shore. A sargeon, M. Nicolle, was passing over t the bridge when this accident happened, and imme diately offered his easistance, by which, after halt an hour's labour, he was restored to lift:. He refused to tell his name, or the cause of th , s aa of despair. p 'The Police Commissary ordered him therefore to continue in the Corps de Garde. Half an hour Le ' fore, another person was taken out of the water, but all efforts to restore him to life were in vain. A& 1 of suicide unfortunately increase to an astonishing • degree. i One of those impudent women, Qui, gnutant thin le crime une tranquille paix, Ont su se faire us front qui ne roi.git jiinais, presented herself last Sunday in the gat den of f./yaes de B3asr6us, and shocked the whole assembly by the indecency of her dress. She was turned out. • Else was accompanied catra mums by ail the young ' men present, and the buntings of the people put sued her to the other side of the Elysian Fields. We t have indeed no right to despair of the return of mo. milky, wheel this sort of police is enforced by the young men themselves.—(yearioal de Paris.) Our Parisian Cockneys are always the same ; al- ways inconsistent and inconsiderate. While some .ef them, excited by a disappointed lover, turned out from the E'4,su Barroom, a young elegant woman, because, under a thin muslin petticoat, she wore nothing but &ski-coloured pantaloons, made strait, se as to shew net beautiful shape ; in the Garden of 1 Paphos, other Cockneys eatried in triumph an old I preplan*. whose bosom was uncovered, and who, under a short muslin gown. wore a yet shorter ehe- anise. with a border of large Brussels lace, without other petticoats or pantaloons. But her admirers• were net only young men, or confined to the Gn aw of Paphos, because we observed, during this scandalous procession, on the Boulevert, men nearer threescore than forty, all applauding and emulating who should be most forward to worship this idol of Baal. If the Government are anxious (and we know they are) to preserve what little remains of amorality among us, a severe vigilance of our police could not be better employed than in our public m a .k s and gar.leris.—(/..., Caeyen Freereit.) It is not true, that M. Mercier, the member of the National institute, has announced his against the sun. On the contrary, he in•sids im ! -inediately to attack it, and overthrow it from its ins mosoalsie throne. He announces that he has alre id in the press a work, which will m eke this planet (ashy eterpa'ear) tura pale; that this work shall I e printed cs ems eosin, and that, with the assistance of this artillery, the walls of the Observatory, which be calls the Bastile of Sciences, shall fall to the dust. Ha will not, says he, amuse himself in any attack as the great bastions; a small issue, or bitac't, .s oaly necessary, and the despotism of this planet shall be humbled. if not annihilated.—(Lc J•erliel sfe Poil : On the 4th ult. some workmen employed in cut ting turf at Finer les Mar:liicanes, in the Depart ment of the North, found at the depth of one yard a great '4t-bottomed boat, which they succeeded in raising entire above the earth. The Prefect, in formed of this discovery, sent M. Bottin to ezamine it. The length of the boat was thirty-six feet and a half, and its breadth in the middle two feet eight inches. What makes this discovery very curious is, that this boat has been male hollow from ore single tree, in the madam of the canoes of the savages. A seat crossed it near the helm. The only iron found was a nail through the head of the rudder. As the tad has beta dug to the depth of nine or ten feet, gad the boat was under the turf in.- yard or three feet, is a kind of bed of shells, a grew uverthrow of onr globe gas bees reqoired to bur / it in this manner. The boat was, besides, so rotten, that it fell to pieces a soma as tou:LeJ, after being exposed to :he air for / MOW time. The wc.oil was as black as ebony. -• his the environs of Mende, chief town in the 4- • Jeri/new of Leziere, a terrible storm. on the 27th nit. caused an inundation and considerable losses to =any communes. By the great quantity of hail that fell, the earth continued for twenty-four hours to look as if coverei with snow. The river Lot welled greatly and overflowed its ba iks, and its Muddy seater had upon the fish the effect of p,i emu liVisen the storm was over. the inhabitants of one single village took, without difTrctilty, five quin tals of trout, which had almost lost life or w re 'faint.

From Paris we have the following information : The Russian Charge d'Affaires, M. D'Oubril, has fixed the Bth of August as the day of his departure from Paris, and consequently demanded his passes from M. Durand, the chick des Bureaus, adinleriar. We hear, however, from good authority, that no apprehension is, on that account, entertained, that the Continental peace will be. disturbed. LEGHORN, JULY O. Since the English men of war have taken their station near the Ilietes Isla,t.ls, twu English frigates cruising upon the coast of Geilila, are extremely troublesome to the trade of that city. The com merce with our city is nut interrupted by them. GENOA, JULY 16. According to ship news, Admiral Nelson, on the 11th inst. in the vicinity of Nlarseilles, burned five Genoese vessels, and captured one. The crews had, however, time to save themselves on shore. Ano ther report from sea says, that the English, with 1,800 men, and IN piece. of cannon, have captured the largest of the I-hera islands, south of Toulon, and established there an hospital for 600 sick sailors. Admiral Nelson's fleet, off stoulon, consists of 21 ships, of different classes. A new Concordat has been concluded between the Pope and the King of Spain. VIENNA, JULY 28. His Royal Highness Archduke John, the Direc tor Gencral of the Engineers, returned here on the 2tith from his tour to insp.& the coast of Italy and the mili:a-y pcsitions of Tyrol. The French Ambassador has not yet obtained his new crede: tials. Upwards of fifty Prussian officers are expeeted at the camp near Prague. PR ♦6L C, JULY 27. On the 29d.

Whenever any great measure eng.tges the public mini, it is generally taken into account in the so lotion of every minor occurrence. Thus we find tha late rise in the price of bread attributed in a great measure to tee circumsunces of the country with regard to the menaced inv tsion. In like man ner, the fall of the funds on T:tursday was imputed to the same cause. Nothing, however, could be more v. ide of the truth. The depressioa was occasioned exclusively by matter of internal arrangement iii the oeconomy of the Bank, according to whizii the pay ment of the 15t. per out. upon Omnium became due yesterday. This it dear beyond all doubt, as after the payment the fun Is rose again. Erroneous opini.cr if this kind are very injurious ; and it be en:nes use duty of every good subjet to guard the public mind ag...inst them. T:ie last accounts frwn Constantinople state, that abve ten thousand Russian troops id !seen landed At Corfu. They w're conveyed that pi ice in several large ship!, aimed ea./late, two of re ships of the lino. The Hamhor:h Mail, due on Sunday, arrived yesterday. .in article from Sva,h-ororh, of tlu• .Htel Last, states, ei it the ftucst.. s (:.vo r ., d e , A •. t. •-es, Nf.

If this intelligence be correa, BONATiRTE has here a new source of mortification. How deeply must his pride be wounded, when he beholds an Island, at the entrance of the principal har'onur of Fr.tnce in the Mediterranean, converted into an hospita l for British soldiers ? A private letter from Hamburgh of the 7th inst. states, that the llaaseatic citivs have not only sent deputies to St. Petersburgh to complain of the forc ed loans which France demanl , , hot that three Se nators have been dispatched to Berlin to demand the mediation of the Kin; of Pitusst A, who received them but coolly, ant direfted them to address them selves to his Minister of the Foreign Department, who, after three conferences, declared that the Court of Berlin could not interfere in this business. These S•.nators are now on their way to Vienna ; but be fore an answer can be received from the Emperors of GERMANY and Russ' A, the cities will probably be forced to submit to this new extortion. The Martha, Captain keNDLItSON, from Batavia, is arrived at Philadelphia: she sailed on the Gth of March. On the '::sth of February a French squa dron, consisting of one sail of the line and four fri gates, arrived there with a British ship of 700 tons. They had taken several other prizes and sent them for the Isle of France on the Ist of March. The French squadron sailed for - the , Islesdlbf France in company with two Dutch sail of the line and a fri. gate Their destination was unknown. Our readers i 1 1 recolleel that it was on the 14th of February that the French squadron was beat off by our home• ward•bound India fleet. The present are the only accounts that have since been received of the course followed by the enemy. The rumour gains groatid that Government has determined upon a very extensive plan of offensive warfare against our inveterate enemy, who seems d..termined to continue that threatening and ex hausting system of hostilities, confined to manueavies ant reviews on h;'s coast, and attacks no where else hut in the cowardly Momileur. If report may bc depended upon, tour grand expeditions will be un- dertaken a. the same time; one against the Elbe or the Weser ; another against Holland or Flanders ; and two against the French coast in the channel ; as some say, with intent to burn this flotilla at Boulogne, and the division blockaded at Havre; and it the latter succeeds, to attack Cherbourg, and destroy those works which BUaAPARTA has lately erected with so much expense. We have even heard that to create a diversion, false attacks are to be made at the rune time on the islands Noirmontier and &hhisle. As these are merely rumours, and as such we give them only, their pualication cart convey no information to the enemy, oat may produce al:tiny to a guilty mind, tor mented with fear, remorse, and ambition, and fu tioas from hatred, which he cannot all.:viate by via.wy, or extinguish by a barbarous vengeance. Offensive operations, if crowned with success, are the ca.est means to rouse the Conti sent from its de gra ii ig lethargy, and to remind Frenchmen that t icy were happy subjefts under their lawful KINGS, but are now oppressed slaves, under the vilest, as well as the most I-meiotic f all Usurp vs. It is cnnfislently alserted i., the *flitted:ll circles, the not A single ship hes escsiped from Brest.
