PARIS, JAN. tq. Tx E Conservative Senate, instead of two Sittings in each decade, now have four, in order to complete the eleCtions of those Members of the Legislative tody and the Tribunate, whose fundions are to cease. Letters from Milan announce the immediately expeaed departure of the Squadron commanded by Admiral GANTHEAUME, who only waits for a fair Wind. Each vessel has on board four or five lin dred Troops. It is said that the First Consul will arrive at Paris on the 30th.—Nothing has transpired with respeft to the deliberations of the Consulta, and it generally believed that it will not be made public until the Cisalpine Deputies return to Milan. A Letter from Caen mentions, that a shock of an earthquake, which continued for about four or five seconds, was felt in the Commune of Cd:znzont on the i 7th instant, about nine in the morning. Its direCtion was from W. N. W. to E. S. E. The atmosphere was cloudy, the air calm, and the wind nt West. BREST, JAR. i2.—The Dutch Squadron ) which is now repaired and vidualled, is immediately to set sail for the place of its destination : BRUSSELS, JAN. 24..—8 y Letters from_ Wese4 we learn that the Landgrave of HESSE CASSEL, Commander in Chief of all the Prussian Troops, it expeded immediately at Wesel. As soon as the season will permit, a small Camp will be formed at A:Endeg. All the different Corps of Troops who bad evacuated Ilanc,-..;•er, will remain in Wertishahil , till the definitive arrangement of affairs in Germany takes place. We learn by the same channel ) that the Chapter of Cologne not consenting to renounce in Ecclesiastical Jurisdidion on the Left Bank of the Rhine, it is said that a Corps of Prussian Troops will immediately occupy Arensberg, as well as all the oth e r parts of the Eledorate of Coloeme, situated on the Ri g h t Bank of the Rhine, LycNs, JAN. 22.----4 he Cisalpine C.onsulta had this morning a general Sitting. The Ft R.ST CON_ stir., gave audience to three Members of the Cisal-- Pine Committee of Commerce. He afterwards held a Conference, which lasted till midnight, With the Minister of the Interior, and rout. Ihefeets of Departments. He is to review several of the Brivdes of the ,tr oops arrived from Egypt. BERLI N , lAN. To.—The Baron de KRUDNER, the Ambassador from Russia to this Court, does not o to Paris, as has been stated, but to Amiens, to ItSsist at the Congress. Via "A, JAN. 14.----I..ettets from Sem/iv and /tp ) . 0 ;""cai mention that the Towns and Vill ages tue b `lnks of the Danube and Save are inundated ti4 e overflow of those two Rivers. The Baron duHocEL, Imperial Commissary at Ratisbon, who is at present here, is about to de part for Berlin, charged with a. particular mission relative to the affairs of the Indemnities. He is to arrange, if possible, the differences which subsist between the two Courts upon this subjed. It is • thought that the Deputation of the Empire will not commence its sittings until these difficulties have disappeared. GEN() \, JAN. 9.---SALICETTI is- expeaed here on his retur n from Lucca, and it is thought he will be charged with another political mission. in some other part of Italy. We are concerned to state that Letters f rom Dublin, received this morning, bring us an of the D eat h o f the Earl of CLARE, Lord account Chan cellor of Ireland. He died on Wednesday morning last, the 27th ult. A Forgery on the Bank of England has been for tunately discovered at Plymouth. On Thursday a girl of mean appearance went to a shop to purchase a shawl, and offered a iol. note in payment, which, upon examination, was found to be forged ; she. of fered three more of iol. all of which were forged, but tolerably imitated. On being asked where she got them, she said, of a chaise-driver ; on which the Town Police-Officers went with a Warrant, and, after searching the house, found the man ; anti in a b undle, con cea l e d i n a b ac k wood-house, were disco vered forged Bank-Notes of sl. and ioL amounting to 5901. The man is committed to prison for fur ther examination. Some nights since three men, armed and dis guised, knocked at the door of Mr. S. Simpson, of Shotly, in Suffolk, and by imitating the voice of Mr. S. induced a female servant, who with a boy was sitting up for him, to open it, when one of them presenting a blunderbuss to her breast, imposed st knee on her, while another carried off a box, 10 which M r . S . k ept articles of value, and which then contained cash and notes to the amount of about 901. Two men slept in the room above, but were not alarmed until the robbers had left the tiouse. To prevent pursuit, they had previously turned the horses out of the stable ;—they were well acquainted with the premises, as they remov ed the box without the assistance of a light. Last week a person of the name of Fox, at Wrex ham, undertook, for a trifling wager at a public_ house, to drink three quarts of beer at three se paratedraughts, " w hi c h he accomplished, bdt was immediately taken ill, an 4 died akw Wuxi after. Tilt' DUTCH MAIL. CONSTANTINOPLE', btc. Is. THE CAI'ITAN PACHA, when he arrived here with his Squadron, entered the Harbour with a French Flag flying under the Turkish. This dis grace of the National Colours gave great offence to the French and their friends. The Chef de Bri gade, Citizen SEBASTIAN!, and Citizen Ru wFIN, made some strong remonstrances, on thd tubject, to the Porte, in which the English Ambassador, Lord ELGIN, and the Russian Envoy, General TAMARA, concurred, representing, that thii humiliation of the Flag of the French Nation, was at least ill timed, now that the Peace was concluded with it. Lord ELGIN likewise sent Mr. PISANI on board the Turkish Admiral's Ship, to make some friend ly representations to the CAYITAN PACHA on the subjed : but before he arrived, the Porte had al ready ordered, by a Firman, that the French Flag should be taken down ; which was done before the Pacha and his Captains made their formal entry into the City. This agreement between the Re presentatives of the Governments so lately hostile to each other, and the prompt and voluntary com pliance of the Turkish Ministry, have given the most general satisfadion. BRUSSELS, TAN. 19. LETTERS from Amiens state, that the English Secretary of Legation, lately sent off to London by Marquis ColustwALLts, with dispatches of the ut most importance, has returned with the Answer of the British Ministry. After his return, an extra ordinary Confererke was held between the Mini sters Plenipotentiaries of England and France, which was continued till late in the night, and at the breaking up of which, Couriers were sent off to London, Paris, and Vienna. It is very gene rally believed, that the Articles of the Definitive Treaty will be immediately settled. It is possi ble, that the conclusion of it may be retarded by the tardiness, and perhaps, the unwillingness with which Spain appears to give her concurrence. The Minister Plenipotentiary of His CATRoLt c MA JESTY, Marquis DEL CAMPO d'ALANGE was, on the z6th of December, still at Genoa, and has not yet arrived (as far as it is known), at-Amiens. It is asserted, that the Court of Madrid is very much dissatisfied with the cession of the Island of Trini dad to the English, because the possession of it, from the situation of that bland, will open to them a way to carry on a Contraband Trade with Mex ico ; the Negotiations, however, are enveloped in the most profound secrecy. NAPLES, D. 19. IT appears that that the Russian Troops which have so long continued in this capital, and by their presence so much contributed to maintain good order and tranquillity, are now on the eve of departure. They consist of z;oo men, who will be embarked on board three Russian Frigates which have entered our harbour. These Frigates, though piercerl only for go guns, are as long, and built after the same manner of ships of 64. guns. It is believed that they will convey our Russian Garrison to 217a/td ) as, according to all appearances, Russia is the thi►d Power under whose guarantee and proteetion that Island will be placed by France and England, conformably to the Preliminaries of Peace between those two Powers. The Marquis DE GALLO, our Envoy to the Court of Vienna, arrived here on the 17th, from that capital. MILAN, DEc. 24. ACCORDING to accounts from Rome, the last Courier which the French Minister sent to Paris, carried a Protest of the French who have purchased National Property at Rome, against the Papal Ediet of the z4.th of October, relative to that property. It is estimated that not less than two thousand persons have lost their lives by the late Inunda tions. VENICE, DEC. 31. ALL the Workmen in the Arsenal are now dismissed. The Orders and Regulations re ceived from Vienna, are merely provisionary, and it is v:!ry generally reported that the GRAND DUKE of "rusc ANY will cede to the House of Austria, the indemnification he shall receive in Germany, and receive in return the Vene tian Territory under the title of a Grand Duchy. It is even added that the Marquis MANFREDINI is already appointed First Minister to the GRAND DUKE. HAGUE, jna. 12. Tilt Frigate Eendracht (Concord,, of 44. guns, from Hetvoets/up has joined the Squadron which sailed from the Texel for Batavia, under the com mand of C3Ft. IVIELIssEN. This Ship carries out the above-mentioned Captain, who has hoisted his Flag on board it, and on his arrival at Batavia, will rank as a Rear-Admiral, though only while he remains on that station. Capt. HAR-rstNCK, who is gone out Commander of the Squadron that sailed from Flushing for St. Domingo and our West Indian Colonies, will rank there as a Vice-Admiral. To-day our Legislative Body again assembles, when the Directory will lay before it the Budget, or plan of Finance. As the expences are great, a Forced Loan will be required of the inhabitants of the Republic. A great part of our Artillery is now melting down. The value of the estates which the House of Orange loses in Belgium, is estimated at above Half a Million of Florins, for which it will re ceive Indemnification. The Brewers of Norwich have followed the ex. ample so liberally set by the Brewers of the Metro polis, to lower the price of bier one vet guar r.

Somr say that BuNAPAItTeti dead, Some say he'll live for ever ; Some think the Peace will soon be made, While others think 'twill never. Some say that the Millennium's come, Some say the Devil's dominion; Some think the Port has got his doom, Some think 'tis all opinion. Some say a Squire, a Duke, a Lord Our helm will quickly govern While some, as knowing, give their wont The secret's with our Sovereign. Some say 'tie false, some say 'tis true--;" But wherefore all this pother,? The truth is, equal credit's due' To one side as the other. The accident that befel PALMER on Friday night, during the performance of C . ymbeh#c at Drury-Lane Theatre, arose from the confiia between him and CHAR rES KEMBLE in the charaders of Clo:on and Guiderins. It was no fault of the latter in striking his competitor with a spear, but PALMER unluckily did not hold his own sword with suffi cient firmness, and it fell upon his nose with con. Siderable force. The Author of Alfonso seems to be highly pleased that hel,i-inted his Play before it was re presented, but the alterations it has undergone at the Theatre, have so much improved the composi tion, that it would have beets much to the advan tage of his literary credit if he had waited for a Managerial Editor. - - It is hardly necessary to observe, that the Opera forth-coming at Covent-Garden Theatre, under the title of The Cabinet, is not political in its nature. The Opposition Wags, however, may be expelled to sport with its name, and tell us of Alas and ibtfi.c and Ministerial manor:pyres. As so much has been said of The Loves of the Plants, and as the ingenious author,Dr.DAß w IN, has been denied the merit of having originally applied the system to poetical, ,purposes, it is strange that none who have accov i d him of plagiarism, have no ticed the following passage from CLAUDIAN, as it is translated in The Guardian " Branches in branches twin'd compose th' grove, " And shoot, and spread, and blossom into love; " The trembling Palms their mutual vows repeat, " And lending Poplars, bending Poplars meet ; " The distant Plantanes seem to preys more nigh, " And to the sighing 41der, Alders sigh." This passage, though short, seems to contain the germ of that vegetable gallantly, which has since expan4a over the poctic.:d and phihnophical world. - ATV REPORT "'ersifitmuter OFIUNG!s-BENCH, JAN.

From the great quantity of. snow.that has fallen in many of the Northern Distrift the turnips in several places have been so covered sp, as to prev'ent the necessary supplies from being procured for the stock, without much labour. The same cause has likewise been very distressing to the store sheep stock in the more exposed situations ; and to the lamb-suckling ewes in those places where the pra6ice is employed. - Hops have continued of doll sale for some time, and it is probable may continue so, since it is understood that .the duty amounts to 241,2271. Is. s,td. and consequently much . exceeds the 'wishes of those speculators who have lately done so much .mischief. Although the price is not very high, yet the quan:ity puts it out of their power either to monopolize, or persuade the Planters not to supply the market, as was done in 1799 and 1800,- those years that will ever be remembered by private as well as public Brewers, who, by the machinations of certain individuals (now Weil known in our Courts of Law), were compelled to pay 16 a 18 a 201. per-,cwt. for Hops, which might have been sold for half the price. Only last year the monopolizers demanded m 6 or 171. for Hcps, which they have since been glad to bell from 70 CO Sos. and they have still enough upon their hands to re mind the:, of their unjust condua. Store hogs have been sold remarkably dear it many places, especially near the capital ; and both lean and fat cattle are still high. CORN EXCILiLYGE. Februa" . -; 1.

MANstoN-Hou - sE.—Saturday a boy of the name of Nathaniel Ellis, and apparently not more than eleven years of age, was brought before Mr. Al derman IVIACAU,LEY‘ for stealing out of a brazier's shop a pair of new straits, a pair of candlesticks, and 'several other-articles, all which be had pledged with a pawnbroker in the neighbourhood of Lon don-Wall. He began crying, confessed the robbery, and said he had been about a year i:t the habit of thieving, that he had been enticed to do so by some boys older than himself, who were in company with him when he stole the articles in question; he said their pradice was to cut a hole in the panes of shop.. windows, large enough to admit their arms, and, then they drew out whatever property was within their reach. He gave, a direaion where his com panions were to be found, and the Magistrate is sued a warrant to apprehend them, and ordered the prisoner into custody till Monday The pawn broker was severely reprimanded for taking dledges of such a child. A baker was summoned for selling a quantity of bread short of weight. The bread was seized in the shop of a chandler by the Inquest ; the chandler said he had it from this baker, but he did not come forward to prove this fa t. The Magistrate, for the present, dismissed the defendant, but said he should take measures to compel the chanaler to give evidence against him. - - Saturday four persons were privately examined. belote the Lord Mayor, charged with Forgery on the Bank of England ; they were committed to prison, and orders given to bring then up again or; -Wethie4day for fur►her examination. 6
