: 'I The French Funds have risen to 60. 60. ►e wt; received this Waning the Paris Pa . peti tei the zoth. inst. • They are nearly as uninteresting as — those which we have received for some days 'Past. No observations are contained in any of them upon the subjeCt of His Majesty's Message; indeed, until the ilcniteur has set the example, it would not be very prudent for any of the unofficial Journals to indulge in speculations. But though the French Journalists have not yet ventured to offer any observations of their own, yet some of them have translated articles upon this subject from the Argus ; and others have adopted the Paragraphs of the Opposition Papers published in London. Letters frotn Conrtantinopie state, that the French Government are anxious to obtain a military posi. tion in the Turkish Empire, anti that they have chosen the Crimea - for :hat purpose. It is also said that PASSWANOCLOV has again shewn strong symp. toms of disobedience to the Porte. The most magnificent preparations are making for the reception of the First Consul at Brussels. This morning arrived eight Ma;lt from Ham. ..44.71.), and one from Holland. • The Merchants of Turin have oliciiine3 from the French Government die free exportation of .wrought silics'.frdm Piedmont. . Letters from Ratisbon state, that it is expefied that the business of the Indemnities will be entirely terminated within a month. The PALATINE Of HUNGARY was to set out on the 7th inst. for Petershurgh," where he is to be af f►anced to the PRINCESS of BADEN. The marriage •is to be solemnized at Cracow, where the presence of the Emragosts of GtRMANY and RUSSIA is ex. petted. The Chevalier cl'ArrovAGA, the Spanish Envoy to London, set , out from the Hague on the 7th inst. for this Capital, by the way of Antwerp and Paris. • Acgourves received this morning from France state, that Peace is the general wilic of eonversa. tion in that Country. The People there, we have ro doubt, speak as they wish, but the wishes of the People are, we fear, little , regarded. The perfeo and studied silence of the French Papers, accounts for the total ignorance which prevails in that Country respelling the nature or subjefts of the discussion between their Government and ours. Yesterday His Royal Highness the Dux! of Vissoc visited the PRINCESSE3 at the Queen's hose ; as did also the Princess Soni IA of GLou essym. The DUKE Of CUMIER LAND arrived at Worees. ter on Tuesday last, to inspect his Regiment; that city. being at present the Head-Quarters of it. On 'the same evening he honoured the Theatre with his presence. On Wednesday His Royal Highness paid at visit to the Bisifor of WORCESTER at Hartle bury Place, His Royal Highness is principally en gaged with his Regiment. The Lord Lieutenant of Essex has ordered both the Eastern and Western Battalions of the Militia of that County, to be embodied on Monday the 4th of April; the former Regiment at Colchester, and the latter at Chelmsford. The eleflion of J. G. COTTERFL, for Hereford, being declared null and void, JOHN MATTHEWS, of Belmont, Esq. has declared himself a Candidate for the vacant Seat. We extraa the following article from a Rotten; darn Paper of the !salt inst. " 'The grand question of - Peace or War is sus pended on the will of BortAPARTE. There is no absolute hostility predetermined by the English Ministry ; the limits of concession, on their part, are chalked nut ; and as France may approach that paint without injury to her safety or her honour, it is hoped she will weigh the consequences, and suffer the Wait to preponderate on the side of humanity, and of regard !Or the dearest interests of this country, which are immediately at stake ; thus convincing us of the importance of her amity." Accounts of a recent date were yesterday' re ceived from Si. Domingo by. the lam tiea These represent the state of that Colony as much more favourable than it has ever been since the first landing of the French. F,or the violence, injustice, and folly of LECLERC, General RocHAMnEAu has tubsituted conciliatory. condal, moderation and nod faith, and the consequence is, that though Barbs of Brigands still exist, the rancorous, spirit which prevailed has entirely subsided. He had issued a Proclamation, inviting the Negroes to re.' thrn to the Estates of their Proprietors, and pro. !nising an - Amnesty, in conseqUence of which many bad actually returned.—There can be no doubt, but th "t if General ROCIIAMBEAu had at first been teilt with the Chief Command, the recovery of St. 11°171;1 1° would have been easy,—When these ac counts left Sr. Domingo for 7ainaica, a three decker 41)l saute other Vessels h;td hove in sight, supposed to be , Squadron with reinforeements from France. American Papers of the loth of February, ar rived Yesterday, The Congress on the zcl resolv. eu, 64 against 26, tQ refer it to a Committee to consider the claiint. of American Sobje4ls against the French Government for unlawful captures at sea, and the means of obtaining indemnity therefor. A TAaotiun was also made for the more strictly enforc ing the law against the admission of Foreigners on. der certain circumstances into the United States.— The cause of this is, that the French smuggle in a numbe r of diseased Negroes from Sr. Domingo, to the injury of the health of the Americans. NA V-if L NEW S. FAL/4017H; MAR CH T 9. ARRIVED this day, the American Ship iia;vt, Capt. GEor,GE NICHOLS, from the Manilla9, with sugar and indigo. Touched at the Cape, which she left on the 18th day of Jannary (four days after the Princess Amelia Packet, which arrived yesterday), at which time all was quiet, and the Cape in full possession of the British.

THE THEATRE. Drui:y-Laic. Tug Tragedy of R;chard 'the Third list night introduced Mr. Coopp tt again to the Public in the hero of the Piece. 'What we said of his Alachith, is,' in general, • applicable to his performance last night. It displayed the solidity of judgment rather than the fire of genius.—He certainly atts from r e. ficOion, and a knowledge of his author, of which very few instances can be found in the present race of Performers. The bluntness and barbarity of Richard were throughout well expressed, but his impetuosity and artifice were not equally prominent. Towards the latter scenes his fire increased, and he gave a better portrait of the varieties of the charatter. There are occasional touches of a savage sportive ness in Richard, but the sententious and lofty ,manner of Mr. COOPER prevented them from ap pearing with due a - ed. He restored several pas sages of the original text, but they were not of such a kind as to give any additional force to the charatter. The only novelty of expression we observed, was in the tent scene, after the appearance of the Ghosts, in delivering ' 6 Sott—'twas but ,a This passage he gave with a smile of pleasure, in finding that his terrors were visionary. It may be doubted, however, whether such an expression was in unison with the recent horror of the tyrant's feelings. Mr. Cool' Ek was very well received by a numerous Audience. PARIS, MARV/119. Irr the month of. May next a Camp of 40,000 Austrians will he formed at Lemberg ; and at the same period the Grand Duke CONsTANTINE of Russia will review 60,000 Russian Troops on the Frontiers of Gallicit:.

Letters from Copenhagen, dated the Ist inst. state, that the Sound is quite free from ice, and that three Vessels had already arrived arElsineur. Eighty families of the Canton of Basle have lately arrived in Holland, with the intention of embarking for America ; they arc in general persons of pro perty, and have brought large sums with them. French Engineers are arrived in Switzerlavd, to ,to make an exaa Chart of the Country. Letters from Naples state, that the English Squa. drop in the Mediterranean had sailed for Enekind, with the exception only of Admiral BICKERTON'S Ship. In the sitting of the Tribunate of the 16L11 inst. a Lady of Buurges, addressed-to the Tribunate some observations on that part of the Civil Code which relates to the Rights. of Women; on the Tribunate passed to the Order of the Day. BRUSSELS, MARCH 12.-1.-The Prefect of Dyle has written from Paris, that the First Consul will occupy the Hotel belonging to the Prefea, which is one of the finest buildings in Brussels. Prepara tions are already making for the Reception of the Supreme Head of the Republic. An elegant Carriage, which is to cost 30,000 livres, has been ordered for the Consul, and our -most skilful workmen have. received direnions to make a 'robe of lace of the finest possible workmanship, to be presented to Mad. BONAPARTE. The First Consul will he accompanied on his journey by the Ministers of the Marine, of War, and of the Interior.. • CONSTANTINOPLE, JAN. 26.—General BRUNE resides at the the Hate/ de France, in the suburb of Peru. He is making every preparation fur his . so iemn entry, which will take place on the day on which he has his first audience of the GaANOSEIG- NIOR4 It is said the French Government desires to have a military position in the 'forkiih Empire, in order to maintain its alliance with the Porte : it is even said,. that the Crimea will be occupied by. French Troops ; but we are entirely ignorant from whence these reports proceed. • BUCHAREST, FEB. 3.—There has arrived from Wl:4fin, in our environs, an Officer named IBRA. 11551, with a numerous detachMent. He has trans. mitted to Prince IPSSLANTI, Hospodar of 'Walla chia, a Letter from PASWAN OGLUU ) from whom it is said the Officir has been sent, to pUrsue . and de stroy the celebtated robber, D s Attairitu. OGLUtr, with his Troop, and in consequence to demand of the flospodar all the articles Of which the Detach. ; and in case of refusal, he ills'e'o'rrrnte'are}' stand i ordered ton e ' Z d o t y force. This declaration has no: a little surprized the Hospodar, and has given rise to great inquietudes amongst the inhabitants. It proves that PASWAN OGLOu continues to pursue an arbitrary and independ ent condua, and is little embarrassed by the displeasure of the Porte. We must also conclude, that that Personage is still in force, and that he has not disbanded the greater part of his Troops, as report had stated. rETIRSSURCH, FEB. 18.— The exchange of Couriers between the Courts of .1.4,d0n :ind Peters. burgh is more wive than ever. J . ?ussio will not p er mit' the establishment of the Maltese Langue, and Eland will nut evacuate Alalt,z. These two points of dispute are the only cause of the frequency of Couriers.
