PIIPP FROM THE HAMISUGH MAIL. 4.m•1••• PARTS, YE). S. Last Friday, after the Emperor had inspeCted the work. at the LOOM', he repaired to the workshop of M. Monte, where he contemplated, with inte rest, the monument of Dessaix, which is to be con veyed, in spring, to the hospital of the Great Mount Sc. Bernard. His MAjesty then proceeded to the shop of 11. Drjoup, where he surveyed the Plaister of Paris mmtiel for the brass statue of General Kletwr, which is to Le erected in the Place des Vic- harts. The Princess of Lucca and Piumbino is on her way to Paz is. Yesterday evening, the Emperor appeared un expeltedly at the Timotre fr.ncois. It is impossible to describe the enthusi.sm excised by his presence. The pit obliged the deity's to begin the play (. fau- Cho Cali dines), of which two ails were performed, over again. When the Emperor withdrew at the sod of the piece, the whole pit rushed out, and fol lowed him with plaudits and acclamations to his palace. Ninety-ti: tens of money have arrived, under a strong escort, at the palace of the Thuilleries. Report speaks of various changes in our Admi. nistratien. It is said, that the Minister of Marine 1 1 _ 7 1011 retire. and will be succeeded by CatTarelli, the riseine Prefect at Breit, or Champagny, the present ittiniater of the Interior, who was formerly a Cap tain in the Navy. The Counsellor of State, Reg sault dm St. Jean d'Angely is spoken of as Minis ter of the Interh.r. 'llte Bank has resumed its pay ments since the return of the Emperor. Much blame k thrown upon Bathe Marhois, the late Mi nister of the Treasury, on account of the embar rassments of the Balk ; and it is added, that he might have prevented the failure of the house d'Hirvaz. PARIS. FOL. ' S. The 11&nitres. of this day contains a list of the Swedish ships which are stated to have been partly carried into French ports. and partly destroyed, since the commencement of hostilities with Sweden. Th-ir number amounts to 5-`2. Of these, five were horned at sea, five were carried into the ports of Allied Powers, and the remainder into French har bours. In the latter, seven Swedish ships, which put into them. were seized. The Abbe llamas, brother to the General of that name. in the Neapolitan service, the Count Id'Hautefort. and Mesdames de Gevres and Duvau, have saddosly left this city. The muskets, sabres, and cartouch-bw Notional Guards. are again deposited in the mat zoh. On Sunday, M. Robillard Perouvilie, presented to the Emperor the first volume of kis magnificent description of the French Museum. Yesterday. the fete took place at the Opera, which had been announced, to celebrate the return of the Emperor to the capital a Never was the Opera HOWLS so filled. After the arrival of Their Ma jesties, during the second act of the play, Les Pre feather, the performance was suspended, as the acclamations and plaudits were continued without ceasing. The company rose, waved over their beads the palm branches with which they had provided themselves, and, according to the Jour. nab, the house had for a time the appearance of one entire wood of laurels. The scenes were then shifted, and the second piece commenced, in which was interwoven an historical narrative of the achievements of Napoleon. The author of the piece was called for. The text is by Esmenard, author of the Poem on Navigation, and the nsuaic by Steibelt. Last Friday Their Imperial Majesties held their first solemn levee. Notices were seat round to those who were to attend it, is a billet, to the fol { l o erie g effeß : . 5 The P.rafeCt of the Palace has the honour to inform you, that to morrow, 1.11.31, at two o'clock, .we viii be permuted to testify your ore-ration to Thor Imperral and Royal MA. as.t.ls, .mated on their Thrones." The audience began about two o'clock, when the persona w ere summoned by the Court. They pass ed by the thrones one aft,u. another. The ettrette was to make three obeisances.—The Fist, standing, opposite to the throne ; the second, on appr"aching near to it ; and the third, atter retiring a few paces from it.

The journey cf the Gown Prince of Bavaria to Paris, is supposed to have some con nexion with this subject. TEN S. We have this moment received intelligence, that 7000 French troops yesterday entered the Rheingau, and imposed on the county of Rodetherm, near Franckfort, a contribution of 100,000 crowns. Thete are now patavian troops in the greater part of the villages situate on the left hank of the Main. A part of these troops will, to-day, pass to the right bank, and extend themselves from our environs to Aschaffenberg. ROVOREDO, JAN• 30. The French army, destined to act against the kingdom of Naples, is to be augmented to 80,000 men. A company of the Royal Bavarian Light Infan try battalion of Dierfurt, has entered thistown, as a garrison. The Italian Journals say, that the French will undertake an expedition to Sicily, as well as against Naples; for the force prepared against the latter seems more than requisite to obtain the ohjed. BERLIN, ri.a. It. The Prussian troop' which appertain to the in spatinn of the Mark anti Pomerania, have tlnek pectedly received orders to remain on the war footing. PETERSBURG, JAS. t”.

His Swedish Majesty, with his retinue, set nut from this town this morning at nine o'clock ; he ex pressed the utmost satisfaction at the behavionr of the inhabitants. •E%ICL, yam ! 22. Last Sunday and Monday, 3,5n3 French, tinder General Miollis, entered this city ; after regulations for its evacuation had been agreed upon between General Lauriston and the Austrian Commissioner, Marquis Von Chisilieri. The French alighted at the Place of St. Mark, where they were favourably received by the people. G‘.neral Miollis announced by a Proclamation, that all the Venetians were new children of Napoleon the Great; and, at the same time, ho made known, that in future the Carnival would be kept in the same manner as in the time of the Republic, and that while it continued, every person would be at liberty to wear a mask in pub lic. This excited general joy, and the Carnival of the present year will be extremely brilliant. General Miollis likenise sent for the principal merchants, and required them to communicate to him their wishes, ideas, and projeds. for reviving commerce; and, in particular, for restoring the de cayed state of the Bank, and placing it on a solid footing. He is a man of sound judgtn•et ; and it is the desire of the Emperor Napoleon, that Venice shall speedily flourish. A fleet of men of war is to be built in the arsenal, and Dalmatia will supply excellent seamen. The Viceroy of Italy, and his Consort, are soon expelled here, and preparations are already making for great festivities. ♦NOTH[R LETTtII FROM VIMICE, JAW. 19. This day, General Miollis took possession of our city, in the name of the Emperor of the French and King of Italy. The French troops under Gen. Herlin formed a balmily,' guerre, in the Place of St. Mark. The concourse of speErators was ♦ery great. The windows in St. Mark's Place were filled with the most beautiful women. General Miollis was attended by General Lauriston and other Of. beers. The former having proceeded into the midst of the bTraillon Ingo, General Fririon, Chief of the General Staff, read the following Proclamation of General Miolli' : "Venetians ! You now form a part of the kinaloni of Italy. The pledges of your happy destiny, are the sle.tiny ui Na. Iwleon tb•Creat, and the resolute yet hwevole-t ch.r.aeter of his Imperial themes; Eugene Navallcon of France, Vice. tor of Italy, in 10,014 manic I addn•as you Unity, an•l threw eirtii..s by which you hare been distinguished in history, must be 'be ground.werit of your felicity, which is now irrevoca• bly combined with that of the brave Italians." This Proclamation was received with loud ap plause. It was succeeded by a salute of artillery ; and the bands of all the corps played various marches. The innumerable spedators exclaimed, " Long live the Emperor Napoleon !" •• Long live Prince Eugene Napoleon !" The soldiers mounted their hats on the points of their bayonets. After this, there was a great dinner for the officers, at Ge neral Lauriston's, and then a levei, at which the Austrian General Bellegarde, had his Adjutants, were present. Ni) speftacle could be more beautiful than the lagoons, at the moment the Austrian troops were departing, and the French were mining the city, LONDON, FRIDAY, Ft.aaU•RY 21. The Harnburgh Mail due on Wednesiav arrived last nig!it, with letters and papers to the 15th, from which we have made several canals. The contribution imposed by Aucvitae upon the city of Frankfort, was four millions of livres, and not one million, as we stated yesterday : this is evidently only the first ad of an extensive system of plunder, which BONAPARTE has in coutempla tion. On the 7th instant, 7000 French troops en tered the Rheingau, and imposed on the county of Rodelheim, near Franckfurt, a eonttibittion of 100,000 crowns. Every new arrival from the Continent will bring us a fresh instance of these cruel extortions. The French army of Naples is to be augmented to 80,000 men. As this force is considered much greater than is necessary fur the reduction of that kingdom, it is supposed that part of it is intended for the conquest of Sicily. General Mio [Ars took possession of Venice, on the 19th of .lanuary, at the head ui 3,500 French. He told the merchants, that it was the ve:..L of the Emperor N aroctoN, that Venice should speedily fl.uati.sh with revived commerce. A fle.t of men of war is to be built in the arsenal, and Dalmatia is ex pected to supply excellent seamen. The HArnourgh MAil Also contains, un ler the Paris head, several intere.ting articles respeCting I% Ar A PIT and his good ci,itens of Palls, not to be Wont' in the Paris Papers. Accounts, we understand, have been received from Dublin, of partial disturbances having broken out in the county of Mayo, in the West of Ireland, but totally uticonnefled with political prejudices. They are stared to have originated exclusively in the business of tythes, the colle.tion of which is frequently managed in a way very vexatious and oppiessive to die power classes. This is a griev. ance of long sanding in Ireland, particularly in the South, where it has often produced riot and turedion. We do not, however, remember the county of Galway, which is in the West of Ireland, to have been a scene of discontent from this cause. We congratulate the country upon the safe re turn of the whole of oar troops from the Continent. On Tuesday night and Wednesday morr.ing, up wards of one hundred sail of transports arrived is the Downs from the Elite, under convoy of the driedue, Romulus, &c. haft of them put into Ramsgate, and part, with the German Legion on board, proceeded for Portsmouth, under convoy of the orison frigate, and Wrangler gun-brig. His Royal Highness the Duke of CL A a zsca. we assert with confidecce. will not go out second in command to Lall Sr. VISICEN r. We inadvertently copied f twin another piper, a paragraph assigning that situation to His Royal Highness; but there never was any foundation for it.
