THE intelligence brought by the Papers whicli arrived yesterday, though not of a .recent date, is of considerable importance, as it tends to - shew that BOS'AtARTE meditates new changes on the Con tinctrit, or that he apprehends soine ettbrts : will be made to ; derange the system which he has formed, for, notwithstanding, tbe (4intinental Pcace;:ihe French Army is not only not to by dect;e4ised, but a considerable . portion of if • is' to ,he kept is Poland.

Kl;v . i, of Paussia, ,s*4ti plup4 s,lvprit9 ; but we did pea that he would, at !east fir some thne, have treated the EuPEI:OIt of RUSSIA with a little more respea. The Proclamation which the French Ge. neral. RAPP has published in tha free City of N antzic, is a proof that 'BONAPARTE, 10tWitbSIalld.• ing - the stipulations of the Treaty of Tilslt, considers it:as - much nnder .' his - dominion-as Marseilles or Bourdeaux. This assumption. of authority cannbt, •we-. should think, be very agreeable to the Empe ror ALEXANDER, particularly,vhien he fintia that a considdrable portion ,of the French Army is to be left on his frontiers in Poland, and that War saw is to be garrisoned by.tcn thousand French Troops. But.by the Treaty „of Tilsit, the EWE. ROIL of RUSSIA Sacrificed every thing to BONAPARTE ; he may now lament the signature of that Treaty, but be cannot complain if 13ONAPARTE pushes the advantages which it aftbrds him to the uttriost. A report is in circulation that a partial Change will take place in the Adtuinistration as soon as the de termination of the Question, in the House of Com mons, relative to the Marquis of WELLESLEY, shall enable that Nobleman to. accept an nfficial situation.
