The one of them is entirely filled. with the .Treaty concluded between Sweden and Ruisia, translated from our own P a pers. • • • The other is wholly occupied by a Report from Rear .

Sent thither to take the command; with the title of Captaiti.General, but with ire_ aetual• authority of Vice Consul, he, has hasten-, ed to make regulations on a great number o f su b. je&s, and, among others, on the subjects Of duels and poisoning, which appeal to have become very frequent in that Island, although the French Rear. Admiral asserts, that it enjoysprojoundtrauguigiiy. the commencement of his Proconsulate has been distinguished by two acas of real .advdnt . age to that Colony, the fecal' of the Emigrant Proprietors, to .whom all that part of their prdperty that remains unsold, is to be restored, and tte deportation of a fcw Jacobins, who had, for some yearc, bee: , the Tyrants of that Island, to France, where they have been thrown into prison. All , that relates to us in the dispatch of the French Admir: ! l, is to be found in one paragraph, in which 'We read that Guadalogise was i . n'a state of defence to defy the English, The same assertion is made respefting the Island of Gorce, in a'n article from Holland. A. consider able Camp has been formed in that 'small but im portant Is , land; .Batteries have been thrown up at a:1 the,favourahle points,-and, in short, nothinc. , has been negleaccl to secure it against a Coup. de Main.

They afterwards fired four rounds of plain cartridge in a very excellent style. When the fire ceased, they returned to the house, where they partook of an elegant cold collation. The construetion of.three new bridges aciOss the Seine affords an opportunity to the Opposition Pa pen of commending the spirit with which public works are carried on in France, and of obliquely censuring us for a want of the satue spirit in this country.' These Writers do not perhaps 'consider, that in this country we do not Make ,erations of this kind until there is a necessity for them. Our Ministers Cannot • build a hut without these very Scribblers cavilling at the expenditure it occasions. An arbitrary Government may throw up what works they please, without utility and without censure.
