MEIMRER,. whose name we could not learn, stated tluit the permission to the Distilleries to go On, could not have encreased the priOe of Wheat, because it'was forbidden to,distill from Wheat. The .

WE this morning received Paris Papers to the 9th instant. They are wholly barren of intelligence. The Marquis COIiNWALL Is. was expdted to arrive at Paris on Saturday last. On Friday last the Chief Consul gave audience to all the Foreign Ambassadors at Paris. By an Aa of the-Government, of the 7th instant, Citizens PORTAL'S and RCEDERER th:!.. younger, are attached to the Legation of the French Republic for the Negotiation of the Treaty at the Congress at Amiens. An article from Tier;ff, of Oa., 28, states the. ar rival there of the English General Prc,or, who was on his route from - Malta to England, through France. On the 7th, the French Tiers Cons. was at 58. THE Handuirgh Mad .due, on Sunday arrived this morning. It brings a Perlin article, from which Capital we still continue to hear of the difficulties' that stand in , the way of the final arrangement_ on .the 'subjeft, of the Indemnities. Some latitude of speculation on this .subjeCt inust.be allowed to the . continental Newsmougers, as they are now deprived of all culler__..2x,rnigemciit.:--Cux havers was immediately to. be evacuated by the . • The intelligence of the signing of the .Prelimina ries between; . this Country and France, had been officially announced at - Vienna, and that Court vited to send• Plenipotentiaries to the Congress at Amiens. Count COB ENTZE,L .atjd Baron WESTI4I-IA LEN are the Noblemen mentioned as'likely to fill fhe office. . • • The -HEREDITARY PRINCE of DENMARK has t..ad an apopletlic stroke. It is mentioned, that yesterday Mr. ADD iNGTON, in the course of conversation with the Committee of Gentlemen holding Exchequer Bills, stated that Government had the satisfaction of receiving that day Dispatches from Marquis CottriwAws, at Paris, announcing that the CH LEE CONSUL had. de clared his willingness to acquiesce in the wishes of this Country respeCting the integrity and interests of Portugal, so that the condirioiyi extorted by France will not be insisted upon. It is said, that I - -hp - RY ALEXANDER, Esq. Mem_ . ber for Derry, will be appointed to succeed Mr. BRAGCE, as Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, in the House of Commons. This Gen tleman very ably filled the same, situation in the House of Commons of Ireland, previous to the Union. - . Colonel ABERCRO.MBY • has brought home with him most accurate returns, not only of all the killed and wounded, but of all the sick of the Army. It is .highly satisfadory to know, that out of 24,000 men, British, Turks, and others who have come under the care of our Medical Staff, only 1700 have died, including those who have suffered as well i by 4ickness as gunshot wounds. It is likewise cu rious, as well as important to be known, upon the best authority, that out of 400 British Soldiers who were infeded with the plague, not much above 100 died. The returns from the Army of Egypt, we hope, will be laid in some official form before the Public. • Yesterday a Court of Direadrs was held at the East India House, when Capt.

A liberal PrOmotion in the Navy will take plate upon the arrangement of the Peace Establishment. Report says, the Promotion of Flags will include Sir THOMAS TROUBRIDCF. A certain number of Commanders will be made Post, Lieutenants Corn.' minders, and Midshipmen Lieutenants. This mea sure is but a tribute of Justice to the distinguished services of the British Navy in the late War. Captain MAXWELL, who so eminently distin guished himself in cutriil La Chevrette out yf Ca marette Bay, in the month of July last,will, it is said, and surely most justly, be promoted to the rank of Post • Captain, in the intended additions to that List. The Netley Schooner has captured a very rich Spanish Vessel in Vigo Bay. One of the Netley's boats, with near to,oool. in specie on board,. after wards ran on shore, when it was taken by the Spa niards, who killed one Seaman, and made the rest Prisoners. The Vessel is still valued at 20,0001. BENEZtCH, the French Counsellor of. State, who is about to repair to the Island of St. Domingo, is said to profess the Jewish Religion, and to have been, before the Revolution, one of the most cele brated Rabbi of that Church ; he is allowed by all, to possess a profound knowledge, Political as well as Commercial. The difficulty of ascending 'Vesuvius is well known ; and Sir WILLIAM HAMILTON'S account of.it will be ever read with delight by the curious. In comparison, however, with the difficulty of de . - scetzding the Crater, the 'expedition 'upwards seems light and easy. Eight Frenchmen, however (inured, no doubt, to explosion and danger by their revolu tionary experience), in the month of June last, and during the night, ventured into the abyss, and it is said, intend to give an account of their perilous undertaking, in a work whigll will soon be rub. fished.
