VUE4 T LONDON, MARCH i 6, iSoz. THts morning we received Paris Papers to the i zth instant inclusive. No less than three Vessels arrived yesterday at Dover from Calais, and one from Boulogne. In the former came a Messenger with Dispatches from Amiens, and General OAKEs, on his return from Egypt. These Papers contain a Letter from TALLEY RANp PERICORD, the French Minister for Foreign Affairs, to Citizen BAcitra, Chargé des Affaires from the French Republic to the Diet of the Ger manic Empire, desiring him to announce' to the Diet, the eleaion of BONAPARTE to the Presidency of, the ita!ia;..t Republic. It, contains the very curious remark, that the Italians had conferred this Office on him for their own security ; and he expresses the condence, that the Empire will see in this measure, the wish of the French Govern ment to consolidate by every means in its power, the general tranquillity of Europe 1 The AtcHntmEs of AUSTRIA, it is stated, are to be invested with the Eleaoral Dignity, with all its Prerogatives. The French Funds were on the loth at 56 fr. 75 cents. The irth being a Decade, there is no price given in the Paper of the rzth. Soma of the - Papers of this morning pretend to give their Readers information, in very peremp tory terms, respesing the actual state of the Ne gotiation, and even assert that the Definitive Treaty is signed. This intelligence will probably be copied by the other Evening Papers that have no means of accurate information on any subjetl. We do not pretend at present to state any thing positively upon this delicate and important subjeCt— We only wish to guard the Public against invosi tion.—We have already communicated our ideas, and shall content ourselves with saying now, that we hope the best, and have no doubt but we shall soon have something decisive to impart. The ROYAL FAmtLY came to town this day from Windsor. HER MAJESTY will bold a - 9(awing Room on Thursday next, at St. James's Palace. Two Messengers dispatched from the Foreign Offic' on Sunday evening, sailed yesterday from Dover for France. Most of the Cabinet Ministers attended yester day at Lord 1-lAw4:EsnußT's Office. We understand that the Writs which were made out for the Militia and Fencible Regiments in Ire land, as a previous step to their being disembodied, have been suddenly countermanded. Mr. THOZIAS .:SHERIDAN, it is supposed, will succeed the Duke Of BEDFORD in the representa tion of the Borough of Tavistock. Lord LOFTUS is at present amongst the Fashion 3bles at Bath. By the death of the Earl Of MOUNTRATH, a va cancy occurs in the representation of,the Queen's County, Mt, CHARLES HENRY COOTE succeeding to the property of t z,oool. a year, and the title of Lord Castle-Coote, conferred on the late Earl in cSoo. The Eatldom is extinCt. The quantity of fish now on the Coast of Corn wall is astonithingiv great ; and much above that of any former period within the memory of the oldest inhabitant. The fishermen usually expend their bait, and leave large numbers uncaught around their boats. The fish market of Falmouth is in con sequence abundantly supplied; and there were, on the s zth inst. about 300 fresh ling exposed to sale, besides great numbers of other kinds: Yesterday advice was received of the safe arrival :n the Downs cf the Automarz'a, Captain ANTHONY CURT is, from Bengal, which Presidency she left on the zBth of September ; the Automacia is loaded. with rice, and touched at the Cape early in Decem ber, in her passage home. A private Letter from Cape Town contains the satisfaElory information of the Colony being well supplied, though every article is ireatty advanced in price. We have, to announce the safe arrival in the Downs of the ship Betsey, Capt. C. HooPEK, from Bengal, which Presidency she left early in Sep_ !ember last.. - The Betsg is one of those ships which were licensed by the Honourable East India Company last year to proceed to Bengal for rice, and is the fourteenth ship which has arrived this year with grain. Letters have been received by this ship, dated the 31st August, which state that the Government had extended the permission to load rice for Europe till the month of Oftober, in con sequence of the great rise of the rivers, the effea of heavy rains, which impede the cargoes using com pleted within the prescribed period. A few days ago, on preparing for the spit a pul let bought in the market by a tradesman in New_ castle, a genuine seven-shilling piece was found in the crop of the Bird. STRASBOURG, MARCIi 5. —Another inundation has taken place in this neighbourhood, more dis astrous than the first. The hasty dykes which the inhabitants had construtled after the former inunda.. Upon further inquiry, we find it has been as certained by a Gentleman of the Faculty, that the Tradesman of Chelsea, alluded to in .our Paper of yesterday, as having died suddenly at an Hotel in the West End of the Town last week, died in a fit by natural causes. Monday se'nnight 180 full grown rats were killed in a barn at Claverham, in Sussex, belonging to Mr. Fuller. These vermin had only a few days before been routed from two other barns, distant about half a mile, and were discovered in their retreat by the stench they emitted. One only was seen to escape.

" The Treaty of Laney; //e had consecrated the existence of that Republic; but it was there spoke of rather as about to exist, than as aflualfy estab lished. " The Cisalpine Republic, successively occupied by French and Imperial Troops, had not the power of governing herself. It was the duty of the - French Government, after having ensured the freedom of that Country by arms ; after having caused her Independence to be acknowledged by all the Powers of the Continent, to call upon her to fulfil the first duties necessary to the enjoyment of these advan- I rages. .The public voice of Italy, and the formal re quest of the Provisory Authorities, had on various occasions expressed the ; general confidence which that Nation placed in him, and their to wish to re ceive from him both a definitive Constitution, and the first choice of her Magistrates. The First Consul was anxious that this general wish of that Nation should he accomplished agreeably to the principles of her independence. He convoked the principal Ci tizens ; he colleaed their opinions and suffrages. It is by these opinions, and these suffrages that her Constitution and Magistrates have been chosen. " The Government of the Republic feels that the tranquillity of Europe depends upon the tran quillity of each 'State which forms a part of it.— After having made the greatest efforts to terminate a War which for so long a time desolated Europe, it hopes that the influence of cool wisdom in all those Nations within the sphere of its alliance, will destroy all uncertainty and agitation. The wisest Citizens of the Italian Republic, refleaing on the diversity of elements of which they were compos ed, became convinced, that to prevent the injurious effeEts which might arise from the rivalship, the pretensions, and the enmities of their Fellow-Citi_ zens, it was necessary to call in the aid of the ascendancy of a Foreigner, who should be superior to those passion - s, and who- would not by his con dud give rise to disorders which might not only dis turb the tranquillity of the Italian Republic, but trouble the repose of Europe. " It was from a deep impression of these cir cumstances, that they felt themselves bound to re present to the First Consul, that their Country . - ought, in the first moments of its political extst ence, to be secured in its independence, guarded against the dangers with which it might be threatened, and wisely direeted in the choice of means for its future preservation. " Such, Citizen, are the results of the convo cation of the Italian Consulta at Lyons. I beg you will communicate to the Government where you reside, the notification which I have the honour of making to you. I have no doubt but that it will see in this event, a new proof of the desire which animates the Government of the Republic, to con solidate.by every means in its power, the general tranquillity of Europe, and to guarantee perma nently the relations which unite the different States. (Signed) " C. bt. TALLEYRAND." GENOA, FEB. 24..—The English Minister has given orders to restore all the Vessels which the Ships of that Nation had taken in the Mediterra nean after the notification of the Preliminaries. BERNE, MARCH 2.-It is remarked, that the French concentrate their Troops, which were dis persed in different parts of Switzerland. It is thought these movements are only intended to faci litate a review. The following phrase has been remarked in Ge neral THURR EAU'S Answer to the Little Council : " You have seen by my former operations, that I have unwillingly spoke in a negative manner, and my last operations will convince you, that not withstanding my consideration for you, I was de termined to break through all obstacles which may be opposed to my orders." At the installation of the new Administrative Chamber, he said, " In calling you to the Superior Administration, I have only complied with the unanimous wishes of the inhabitants of the Valais. Give your Constituents an example of gratitude towards the French Go vernment. Their only security is in its immediate protection ; and you know its benevolence." tion, only served to crease the devastation, by lulling them into a false security. Every thing yielded before the violence of the Good, and in some places the water has formed such a channel among the fields, that the inhabitants begin to dread they shalt not be able to dislodge it. GROD NO, FE D. I ,2.—The Grand Dutchy of Li thuania forms at present but one Government, the seat of which is at Wibia ; but the EMPEROR of Russ lA, in consequence of the multiplicity of busi ness attached to this Government, has ordered it to be divided into two, and the seat of the second Go vernment is to be fixed at Grano. STOCKHOLM, FEB. I9.—According to the last Letters from our Squadron stationed in the Mediter ranean, Admiral Baron de CEDERSTROM had called upon the EMPEROR of MOROCCO for a categorical explanation of his intentions towards the Swedish Flag, as they appeared very ambiguous. BERLIN, FEB. 28.—The Marriage of the PRIN CESS CAROLINE with the HEREDITARY PRINCE of GOTHA, will take place in the ensuing month. It is said that the ARCHDUKES of AUSTRIA are to be clothed with the Electoral_ Dignity, and with all its Prerogatives, A Mecklenburgh Courier arrived here from Pe tersburgh, who is going immediately to Ludwig_ shut. It is believed that he is the bearer of the refusal of the EMPEROR of RUSSIA to accede to the project of exchanging the Dutchy of Mecklenburg for certain parts of Westphalia. VIENNA, FEB. 25. —Letters from Bucharest of the Bth inst. state a detachment of the Troops of PASW AN OGLOU are again in Wallac;ia, advancing towards Sislew. The Commandant of Bucharest has sent a sufficient force to . meet the Enemy. There is nothing more said of the march of the Turkish Army against Widdin and Belgrade, nor of the proposals of submission made by PAS WAN OGLOU to the Porte. Our Government has received official advice that the Batavian Republic will send a Minister-Pleni potentiary here this Spring. The DUKE of MOD FNA has, it is said, decided to accept the Brisgaw, with some possessions of Anterior Austria. The ARCHDUKE FRANC Is, eldest son of the PRINC E FE RD I NAND, and Grand son of the DUKE of MODENA, will in consequence immediately take up his residence at the Chateau de Montfort. ANTWERP, MARCH 7. —The Batavian Squa dron armed arid equipped in the Texel, under the Command of Admiral DE "I NTER, waits only for its last orders, before it sets sail. Other armaments are preparing with the greatest diligence, in various Ports of Holland. That which is destined to take possession of the Cape of Good Hope, will transport a numerous garrison, composed of Infantry, Cavalry, and Artillery, and also the new Administration. STORACE'S benefit, at Covent Garden Theatre, last night, was very numerously attended. The dramatic entertainments were The Siege of Belgrade, and No Song Aro Supper. The Performers exerted themselves with great spirit. BRAHAM'S fine voice appeared to the best advantage, and STORACE'S comic humour was highly diverting. The Winter's Tale is at Drury-Lane Theatre with great magnificence. The piece is much too long for representation, and has therefore undergone many retrenchments, by which the plot is compressed, and rendered more interesting. A Miss 1-licKss, who is warmly . patronized by Mrs. SHERIDAN, and whose talents have been li berally cultivated by KEMBLE, makes her debut in the character of Perdita. She is a very elegant young woman of unblemished repute. On Sunday last was performed at the parish Churches of St. Paul, Covent-garden, and St. George, Bloomsbury, in memory of the late Duke of BED. FORD, by Dr. CALLCOTT and Mr. COCK, an ap propriate Voluntary.and Dirge ; after which was introduced the celebrated Dead March in Saul. As the Grand Guard was parading in front of the Government House at. Plymouth, on Thursday last, the venerable Major LA ROCHE, of the East Regi ment of Devon Militia, fell down in a fit of apo plexy, in front of the line, and expired instantly. He was 82 years old, and had been 4+ years in the Regiment. At the Police Office, Great Marlborough-street, yesterday, a journeyman boot-maker was charged before N. CONANT and P. NEVE, Esqrs. with hav ing molested several workmen employed by Mr. WILLIS, of Carey -street, Lincoln's Inn, with a view to compel them to quit his service. The of_ fence being fully proved, the Defendant was corn_ mitred to the House of Corretion, Cold-bath-fields, for two months. NAVAL NEWS. PORTSMOUTH, MAR;? lc.
