Paris journal ! to . tl.e 234 instant inclusive. Their contents will be found under the Paris Head. The French 'Funds ate rising rapidly, from the expectation, doubtless, of the.rwar approach of the Signature of the Definitive Treaty. The Tiers ConsOlide was on the 22d at 5•7. 15. Our own Funds have risen within thcse twu, days, upwards of one per Cent. from the same cause. 7 ,-- This cipatation, we have no doubt, will soon be realized, though it may a little outran in spee(l the measured progress of Diplomatic Form. The Chief Consul was expefied in ,Paris on the 24th or 25th inst. Tr ‘e business at Amiens, w< have no doubt, will soon he completed after his return. . Two Dutch Mails and a Jamaica Mail arrived this morning. Seven Hamburg", Mails still due. Earl ST. VINCENT, on account of his ill health, resides chiefly at his Seatnear Brentwood. • Admiral Sir CHARLES POLE proceedS to :Nfew_ foundland in the Spring; ,:as Governor- and Com mander in Chief on that-station. The report still continues that the Duke of PORTLAND goes as Lord Lieutenant to Ireland. Yesterday the Principals of the Bakers' Com pany attended the .LORD MAYOR at Guildhall to set the Assize of Bread ; and the Mealweighers' Reports being ineaed, it appeared' that if his Lordship set the -Assize by the price of Wheat (which is .not customary) instead of Flour, he had the power of reducing the price half an Assize, or One Penny in the Peck Loaf, which his Lordship, contrary to the expectations of the Company and Dealers in Flour, very judiciously did, and by this. mode the price of the Quartern Loaf will he reduced to One Shilling, to commence and take place tomorrow,--- This is the first time known for many years of the LORD MAYOR setting the Assize by 'the price of Wheat ; and his Lordship has declared his determi nation of always adopting this measure whenever he can redi.ice the price by this method. Letters from Malta of the date of the 23d ult. bring an account of the death of Capt. JOHN Et- Piirm - roNE, of the Navy, Captain of the Fleet under the command of Admiral Lord KEITH. That excellent Officer and valuable man dielon the 17th of last month,. univ ersally regretted. A superb present of some pieces of yellow velvet has been sent from Madras to His Highness the NIZAM, the same being the appropriated colour, of Royalty at the Court of Hydrabad. His Excellency MEER ALLUM BAFIADER, and his son, MEER DOWRAN, have been sentt - by the Nt zitm on an Embassy to the Right Hon, the Governor of Fort St. George. •A few days since a duel was fought at the back of Silver_hill _Barracks, Lewes, by Lieut. HEW ET SON, of the 9th Regiment of Infantry, and Lieut. Tov Ey, when the tatter, from the first fire of his antagonist, received a ball which perforated the fleshy part of his thigh ; the Seconds then interfered, and prevented the parties from proceeding to any farther ads of hostility. Mr., To v E y's Ivound is not ,likely to be attended with dangerous conse que:ltes. The value of the Turkish piastres sent by the Grand Signor to Mrs. Hoses, mother to Lieute nant HOR3S, who ftll in the aetion at Rhamanie, amounts to upwards of sQol, The Lord Btsttor of CutcazslzYkt has been pleased to collate the Rev, J4mes CA.rr sa., A. M. of Wilmington, in Sussex, to a Prebendal Stall in the Cathedral Church of Chichester. • It is a singular circumstance, that at the time Sir EDWARD HAMILTON was last week disgraced at Portsmouth, the Hermioue arrived from Jamaica, on which hi so distinguished himself at her recapture. Mr. Fox's birth-day was celebrated on Monday, by a few miserable fragments of Party. A song in h,inoar, of the glorious occasion, compared Mr. Fox to a rock, but it did ,not distindly state whether the resemblance lay in his head or his *art. The comparison, however; may be applicable both ways. It will apply to his head, if we consider his rash euiogium on " the most glorious fabric ever raised by human integrity and wisdom," the French Re_ volution ; and to his heart, if we consider his unre lentirg animosity,,against the unfortunate House of Bourbon. - - A most respeaable young Gentleman of Yorkshire, having been invited to the house of • another, near London, and while.in a state of inebriation, drawn in to play to the loss of some thousands, it has been the opinion of his Regiment, that under such cir cumstances, the demand ought not_ to be paid. The coinage of base silver has of late increased to a very alarming degree. Two persons were committed from the Public-oAice, Bow-street, on Monday last, for passing counterfeit silver; and yesterday a man, apprehended in the Strand by some of the Patrole, with a bux full of counterfeit shillings and sixpences in his p.ossession, to the amount of upwards of gol. was brought up for re examination. The Solicitor of the Mint attended, but merely having counterfeit coin in his possession, although known as a Praetitioner in that , trade, .be ing no offence, he was discharged; The bad money was ordered to be taken to the Mint. The following daring robbery was committed on Thursday evening last in the parish of Slaugham, in Sussex. As Mr. Cremer, a master warrener, was without.side his ' house, putting up his. win -low-shutters, 'he was accosted by two men, who demanded of him whether any person was within his house? On his, answering, that could be no business of theirs, and asking whether they meant to rob him, one of them replied that they were come for that purpofe ; and instantly seizing him by the collar, dragged him into the house, and with presented pistols, robbed him of +oh in cash ; took several articles of plate from a cupboard 'in the kitchen, and two guinea“roin a servant maid, with all - which they made off; and notwithstanding a timber of neighob . rs were soon colleded, an d dili_ gent search made ''arnong ,the adjacent woods, and for several miles along the roads; no tidings could be.heard of the villains, and . they remain at present undiscovered. _ Monday evening as Mt:Kenton, of Winchester_ street, London Wall, was returning to. town in a post-ChaiSe, lie was . sfoppedby three footpads, near Kennington Common, who used the most blasphe mous expressions to inrimidate him to make a quick delivery of his money, which amounted to near .101. which having obtained, they ran - off with their booty across the fields. . 'ARM, JAN, 23. IT is asserted in Letters from Narembrtrg, that the ICING of PRUSSIA intends to add that City, with its territory, to his other possessions in Franconia. The lot of the Circle of Franconia is decided. Some of its distriets fall to the share of the ELEcroa. of BAVARIA : amongst others, the Bishopric of Eich stett, and several Bailiwicks of the Margraviate of Bajrilah, ceded to the Eledor by the KING of PitussiA ; A - :part of the Bishoprics of Bamberg and Wurtzhotorg, pass under the Prussian Dominion : the remainder tinder that of the PR INC E of OR . ANGE. It is' added, that the Court of Berlin is agreed upon the subjea with the French Government and the Court of Petersburgh, and that this agreement is understood to be founded upon the sth Article of the Convention signed at Berlin on the sth of Au gust_l796, between France and the Court of Prus sia, which is to the following effea : " If, by the event• of the Pacification, the re establishment of the NOUSE of ORANGE in Holland .cannot take place, the two Contraaing Parties en gage to interpose their mediation, to procure a suit able arrangemen tbetween the Batavian Republic and the PRINCE of ORANGE, the conditions of which shall be, on the one part, the Renunciation of all the rights of. the Stadtholderate, as also all the Estates which the Prince shall , possess in Bel gium, and on the Left Bank of the Rhine ; and, on the other part, the Batavian Republic shall en - - gage to pay to the PRINCE of ORANGE, an In demnity equivalent to the value of his possessions, unless the Republic shall chuse to leave him in the possession of his Estates, to be disposed at a more convenient season. • " The French Republic engage to employ all its powers to obtain in favour of the PRINCE of ORA6E . and hii Heirs Male, .the Secularization of the , Bishoprics of Wurtzbaurg and B,thlhere" , to which shall be:joined the Eleaoral Dignity ; so that the reversion shall be assured to the HOUSE of BRANDENBURGH, in the event of the failUre of Mail Issue in the HOUSE of ORANGE." LYONS, JAN. IS. —Deputations from several De partments have been presented to the FIRST CON. sur„ who appeared highly sensible of the eagerness with which the Citizens came from all parts, to see him, notwithstanding the great distance and the rigour of the season. The Counsellor of State, Prefea of the De- partment, eager to fulfil the benevolent intentions of the First Consul_ towards those inhabitants of the City, who stand in need of assistance, has ordered a sum of 6,000,000 francs to he placed at the dis posal of the three Mayors of Lyons, for the pur pose of being distributed amongst the indigent, in propo:,tion to their resp e ai ve wants . Th e It;'rst Consul is expeaed here to-morrow, or the next day,. General MA CDONALD is arrived here. The Division which left Cherbourg on the isth instant, took onboord all kinds of provisions. The Troops who were emZiarked, were entirely ignorant of their destination. Th e y write from Aciens, that nothing has transpired withceitainty - reqative to the Negocia tions ; it is hoped however, that the result will not fail to be soon known to the .Public. D'OBEN (HUNGARY), JAN. 3. —Letters from Sentlin, announce that the greatest trhnquillity pre vails at Belgrade, and that the ancient orderof things is entirely re-established, The same Letter also mentions ‘ a bloody Battle which had taken,place in Wallachia, between a body of. Ottoman Troops and those of PAswAN OGLOU, the latter of which were compelled to retreat with the loss of 100 men. The Court of Berlin has not yet acknowledged Lady CRAVEN, wife to the Margrave of ASSrAC,II, as a Princess of the German Empire. It is generally believed in Germany, thit M. de FL4cKSIANDEN will be,eleEted by a great majority to the dignity of °rand Master of Malta. RATIsmoN, JAN. t 9 are a number of reports in circulation here ; among others, it is said that the best understanding subsists between the Courts of Peter4urgh and roma, in cOnSe quence of which the former has intimated' to the Court of Munich, that it would not interfere with the views of the EMPEROR of GERMANY. BP.USSELS, JAN. IS. - The Dutch Squadron which is ready to sail from the Tex'el arid the Meu;e for Batavia, is composed of one Ship of the Line, two Frigates, and,,a Cutter. The Troops, and the Persons_ who are. -ho fill Civil Offices, are already on board, and the Fleet only waits for a fair wind to sail. Another and a much larger Fleet, is pre_ paring in the Ports of. Holland, -which will - sail as soon as the Definitive Treaty is signed, to take possession of •the Cape of Good Hope - and the . Moluccas. • We . learn 'froth Luxemburgh, that the famous _SCHINDERHA-NNES, who is at the head of some Brigands in the Ilunsdr44, .has sent ErnissAries into all the beighbotringbepartmenfs to raise wel'' Every exertion is making to discover his agents. STOCKHOLM, DEC. 29. —Several accounts which have been received, state that a great number o f Vessels have been totally lost near the Is!and Gothlamd. Our Herring Fishery has not been s° favourable qs formerly, Which is attributed to th e violence of the winds. The price of grain continue' to fall ; but this is more owing to the Peace than £ 0 the abundance of the harvest. One of the Proprietors of our Mine 3 has failed for 400,000 rix-dollars. FRANKFORT, JAN. 'a 4..—The. [post certain inter ligence known at this moment about the forgeries d Bank Notes, is as follows :—LAZA.RUS WOLF W denounced by a Jew of Frankfort, who had received Forged Notes, and the Police Guard of Hanau kept him, in consequence, in confinement. WOLF by dexterity of his agents, escaped, and took refuge ijti INflayence. Citizen HERSINGER, French Resident at Frankfort, informed Citizen JoLMET of what h 0 passed ; in consequence of which, at the request of the Burgomaster of liethau, Citizen Jor,tv str, who 1 133 provisorily ordered the Jew to be guarded by four men , consented to set him at large, and some days after" wards the Hussars of fleSse Cassel went to search for the aforesaid WOLF at Cassel, opposite to Mentz , and carried him by the way of Frankfort to Hanauy where he remained under arrest in his own house; he was afterwards concluded to the principal gu ard. He has since been set free by the orders of the French , without any difficulty. Austria has nowise inter fered in the affair. No House in .Frankfort 11 0 discontinued its payments on account of these for geries. The brothers HoLzMANs alone have of' mentarily, for prudential reasons, stopped payment, even of those sums which they have in their handf., as they had been accustomed to make p a y m ents foe WOLF, and had formerly accepted" several of his bills, which they could , not now hope to recover. THE THEATRE.--The revival of Venice Pt' serv'd is likely to be one of the most produetive re' • presentations of Drury-Lane Theatre this Seasoo• It was last night attended again by a very numerous Audience,.and was throughout very well perform' ed. KEMBLE has evidently bestowed part icular' attention on j . ,7 ‘ ffie,.- The force and the feeling the part are given with appropriate merit, and 32 ' together it is one of his besr efforts. As to th e - Belvidera of Mrs. SIDDONS, it is one of the mos t perfea specimens of theatrical skill e ver seen , at' malice would in vain hunt for a defea in bet per` forrnance.

The Court was engaged near two.hours in coast; dering the propriety of this step. ,The Estates had belonged to the Earl of STRAFFoR.D, Mr. Ca' NOLLY'S grandfather, and th e w h o l e pedigree a Wentworth family was examined.
