PARIS, FEB. iq.
^ Yesterday evening the news of the con
clusion of peace spread through every circle
and was announced at every ball. It is
impossible to describe the impression it has
made upoh the public mind. Every class
and description of citizens manifeft the
fame joy and exultation. As soon as this
joyful news reached the hotel Longutville,
where there was a masked ball, the compa
ny came out and danced on the carousel,
and with the effufions of patriotic enthusi
asm they learned to blend the frolics of fol
'y-
Peace, the firft object of the General, is
now the topic of general conversation, and
the bosom of the republic swells with the
liveliest emotions of gratitude.
This morning, at 6 o'clock, repeated
difeharges of artillery announced the happy
intelligence of the conclusion of peace with
the Emperor and the Germanic Empire.
About ri o'clock the ministers, and the
counsellors of State proceeded to the Thuil
leries, together with a great number of the
members of the legislative body and several
of the public tunaionaries, both civil and
military."•
After the audience which they had from
the chief consul, Buonaparte went to the
Council of State, where he acquainted the
members with the conditions of the treaty.
At 10 in the evening, the'band of the
Consular guard assembled in the garden of
the Thuilleries, where they continued un
der the windows of the chief confuL The
concert Was concluded by a difeharge from
fifty pieces of eannon. The fetes which
government is. to display on this occasion
will not take place till the treaty is ratified.

NE^-TAXES.
Yesterday Mr. Pitt opened the budget as
chancellor of the Exchequer. The new.
taxes are—an additional duty on all teas
above 2s. 6d. per lb.—a duty on paper
double to the present one, with exceptions
to some particular forts—a duty of 20 per
yafd on* printed cottons—is rod per cwt. on
fugars—§ additional duty on timber—3d pr.
lb. on pepper—-2os per ton on lead—2os
per t^n on train oil — is 6d per cwt.; on rai
sins—additional duty on damps—duty on
all plcafure-horfes, and on those of husband
ry. The whole amount of the increase of
the revenue by those additional duties is
1,730,0001.
Success yet attends the Rep of Faffawan %on.
It appears, from the latest accounts, that he ttill
continues to make considerable progress. Late
German papers state, that he has put a flop to all'
commerce, as the merchants will not rilk the
fending of their goods, for tear of their falling in
to his hands. He Seizes all effects he can lay his
hands on. The post going from Conttantinople
to vienna has been flopped by a parroting party,;
of PaffawariOglou's troops and robbed. The mo
ney, jewels, and other valuable effects, intended
for the Ambassador and several private individu
als, which fell into their hands, are dated to be of
considerable value. \;
^ummarp,
from Carlton's Salem Impartial Register.
The most interesting article of Foreign
Intelligence, is the signing of the Treaty of
Peace between France and Austria on rhe 9th
of Feb. la.ftf by Buonaparte and Cobentzel.
The novel form of its diplomacy, the clear
arrangement of its articles, and its consist
ency with the negociations at Raftadt r and
the terms of the treaty of Campo Formio,
exhibit it to Europe with a most favorable
afpe& on the affairs of the French republic.
On the 14th Feb. it was announced to the
French in language admirably adapted to
diffufe joy throughout the whole nation. —
The Cifal pine and Ligurian Republics are!
to remain. Tuscany is to be lubje& to the|
Prince of Parma, and the Northern Powers ,
are to have all the aid of the French againfl
l England. On the 24th Rb. M. de Gallo, V
Atobaflador from the King of Naples was
at '° r ! s ' ^r^ Cobentzel, the Plenipotentia
ry of Austria, was to be in that city on the
26th of the fame month. There were some
reports of a new arrangement in Poland, ty
which the last partition was to be given up.
And that Austria, Russia, and France had
contemplated a partition of Turkey. As
the Emperor of Germany has undertaken to
fatisfy the States for losses they fuffer, no
doubt, attention has been paid to the means,
which are ample in the feeble Empire of
Constantinople. It has been reported that
the Proffians have given leave for 30,000
Ruffians to match through the Prussian ter
ritories near Hanovefyand that another army
has marched towards the borders of Turkey.
The Ruffian Armies are in motion. Many
Frenchmen and Poles have actually follows
ed the example of many English and Irish
adventurers in the armies of the East, and
have joined the Army of Paffawan Oglou.
Buonaparte has not been more a&ive in ne
gociation, than he has been in restoring trap:
quility to France. The nation has al
ready expressed its public gratitude. On
the Bth Jan. he gave his proje& for a new
court for the special cognizance of all of
fences committed by vagabonds and oh the
highways,-by which private security could
be endangered. “ Let us never forget,"
fays this great man, “ that our fituarton for
the last ten years, has been such, that it will
take time to reduce some into habits favor
able to the public tranquillity." So fully '
has Russia concurred with the designs of
France, that the Pretender to the crown of
Lewis is unnoticed at that court, and tho'
the Emperor has not entirely withdrawn his
favors, yet it is expected the Pretender-must
soon leave the Ruffian dominions. The
Emperor has required of Portugal and Na- ~
pies that they separate from ' England. Sci-.
ence and the arts are encouraged in France.
Ln the Botanical Garden, they cultivate forl
experiments, the violet fogar of Batavia, and
the white sugar of Otaheite. We are t01d,7
that a political and philosophical Hiftory of
the American Revolution is to be presented
to the firft consul by citizen Lehas. Much
as we are indebted to the French, we are
not induced to put the highest value upon
their hiftory, or their opinions of our coun
try. We value their genius, but we doubt
of their extensive knowledge of this fubjed.
We hope for the honor of France, that the
work presented to the First Consul will be
worthy of his approbation. The change
of Administration in England leaves us
much to expea. It is said that overtures
for peace from England, were seriously cx
pe&ed in France, If the disposition be pa
cific, there is every preparation for war.
Even the French Fifhertnen are not etempt
from molestation in their honest employ
ment. The English have sent out to watch
theTranquebar fleet, returning to Denmark.
The spirit of the nation has allowed the law
which suspended the habeas corpus a& to
die. The negle& to continue it is a sign
of internal security. The Catholics of Ire
land are evidently put upon their good be
havior, as they are assured from authority,
that their political hopes muff depend Upon
the proofs of good conduct. A prefling evil,
is the embarralfed state »f the nation in re
gard to Grain. No less than 148,000 per
lons were publicly relieved in London-and
its dependencies last year. There are con
stant complaints in these Strtes of the Brit-'
ifh depredations on our commerce, particu
larly in the Weft Indies. The governs
n,ent is coffering the document by which
the extent of these losses may be ass rtained..
