LONDON, Sept. 30.
Extract of a Private letter from Paris.
"A total change in the administration is announced to take place within two days. All the ministers are to be dismissed and absorbed into the senate. Lucien Bonaparte is to be Minister of the Marine and of War, Joseph Bonaparte Minister of Interior, and Exterior, Talleyrand Perigord is to have the place of Intendant General of the Finances, and Regnier the Grand Judge, is to discharge the functions of the minister of Justice. The first effect of this important change will be the dismissal of not less than 20,000 Commis, or clerks, who without rendering material service, drained the Treasury to a large amount."
"The First Consul has been closeted for the last ten days with some of the ablest Financiers in France. It is not only said, but believed by many that he has a sum of money of two hundred millions of livres (upward of eight millions sterling) locked up in his coffers, and which is not to be touched but on some very important occasion. The scarcity of cash, which is greatly felt here, is attributed by many intelligent persons to the withholding of so large a sum from circulation. To whatever cause it may be owing, the bills at the first Bankers cannot be discounted for less than two per cent. per month."

From the late enumeration of the inhabitants of Great Britain and Ireland, it appears that in England, and Wales alone, not fewer than 1,843,354 persons competent of labour, are employed in trade and manufactures.
The public income of Great Britain, which may serve as a barometer to indicate the degree of the prosperity of our trade, was, including the loans and other extraordinary resources of the year ending Jan. 5, 1802, not less than 63,026,507l. 6s 11 3/4 d. sterling. Of this sum not less than 28,105,391l. 16 3/4 arose out of the permanent taxes.
The Emperor of Russia is fitting out two ships to make a voyage of trade and discovery round the world, and to establish on an Island, contiguous to Japan, a factory or colony which may open a trade with the Japanese.
A letter from Malaga, dated 28th August, received at Hamburg, and transmitted to us by a correspondent, contains the following intelligence: "On the 7th inst. sailed from this port the Dutch Admiral de Winter, with three sail of the line. On the 19th an American ship arrived and brought news that the Dutch squadron had an engagement with several corsairs belonging to the States of Barbary, which terminated in favor of the former. It is now known that these States have declared war against Spain, Holland, and England."
In an official communication, published at Stockholm the 4th ult. means are recommended for strengthening and increasing the naval force in the Mediterranean, the nation being declared on the eve of war with Tripoli, the state having demanded such a sum for the price of peace, as to render its continuance impossible.

We yesterday received Paris Journals to
the 4th. The French government lately sent a squadron, under Admiral Leissagues, to Tunis, to get satisfaction from the Bey for certain grievances, which appear to be in a fair way of settlement. The Bey sent an Ambassador on board the squadron to be conveyed to France, to compliment the First Consul. He sent likewise a number of curiosities, such as Arabian horses, antelopes, lions, bitches, and ostriches. We hope these august personages, the Bey of Tunis and the First Consul of France, will not go to war, but, being so fitted to appreciate each other, and being, in their respective spheres, so alike in their pursuits, will accommodate all differences, & with the honest gentleman in the Beggar's Opera , exclaim, "Brother, brother, we are both in the wrong!"

In our last Chronicle we stated that General Andreossi had arrived at Dover; in that statement, however, we were erroneous, his excellency not having arrived, but a messenger of the embassy, from whose information the arrival of his excellency in this metropolis is expected on Monday or Tuesday next.
Paris papers to the 5th inst. have been received, by which we learn that a battle had been fought between the Insurgents and the troops commanded by General Andermatt, but no mention is made of the result. The Senate has placed the civil under the military authority in several districts. General Ney, commands the French troops now on their march towards Switzerland.
Extract of a private letter from Paris, October 2.
"French literature follows the same strain of sublimity with French politics. A publication has just appeared, demonstrating, that without fast days there can be no navy in France. This is the sum of the author's reasoning. "Without fast days there would be no fish eaten; if no fish were eaten there would be no fisheries; without fisheries there would be no seamen; without seamen there would be no navy;" THEREFORE, without fast days there would be no navy. Q. E. D."
Extract of another letter, October 4.
"The aid de camp to the First Consul, M. Rapp, set off last night for Switzerland. His orders are to repair to Lausanne, and there to summon the government to accompany him to Berne, without an escort. This being done without any other interference, M. Rapp, is to go through the several Cantons, summoning each of them to declare - "Whether they wish to be on terms of peace or of hostility with the French Republic?"
Letters from Paris dated the 2d inst. give a melancholy account of the stagnation of trade, and total dearth of specie. Cash is not to be obtained under 15 per cent. on notes not exceeding a month.
The French troops ordered into Switzerland at the interposition of him whose rule and action is guided from above, are detached from the Milanese, and are to march by the Lake of Como towards the Lake of Constance, so as to form a barrier between the Swiss and the Austrians, should the latter offer to support the new government. Besides these, other troops will march into Switzerland by the pass of Porentrai, which the French still hold, though it is situated in the Canton of Basle.
October 9.
The following are the particulars relative to the Fortune frigate, captain Clements, which ship was said to have been totally lost in the Texel: On the 5th of September, the Fortune, Diamond, Alcmena, and Autumn, sailed from the Downs with Dutch troops on board for the Texel in a heavy gale of wind from W. S. W. which blew so hard that no pilot could venture off. The Fortune and Diamond struck several times in going in, and owing to the Dover pilot mistaking the buoy, the Fortune ran on sand, which the Diamond only escaped by coming to anchor. In the course of the night the storm much increased, that it was thought advisable to cut away the Fortune's mast, notwithstanding which she beat off her rudder, and was filling very fast, when the crew deserted her. The Diamond kept firing guns of distress all night, but it continued to blow so very hard that no assistance could be given her. The next morning she was got into the Texel. On the 15th the weather moderated, when by the great exertions of the captain and officers of the Fortune, assisted by the crew of the other ships, she was weighed, and is now safe anchored in the Die, where she is getting in jury-masts to proceed to
England, accompanied by the Magicienne, captain Vanattart.
A Seaman saved out of the Nimble packet-boat, wrecked on the Praule Point, near Plymouth, about a fortnight ago, in going round to Portsmouth, has made a deposition, that there were on board her seventy-one passengers; among whom were the late master of his Majesty's frigate La Loire, his wife, and four children; Lieutenant Kelly, of the Royal navy, and a number of seamen's wives; he instantly jumped into the boat, and tried to save the master of La Loire, who held fast by one of the oars till quite exhausted, he quitted his hold and sunk. This man was the only person saved out of the above number.
The acts passed by Bonaparte in his quality of President of the Italian Republic, daily tend to shew, that this new state is considered as merely a province of France, as closely connected with, and as dependent upon, that country, as Ireland, while governed by a Viceroy, was upon Great Britain. A decree which has lately been issued, annihilates the independent existence of the Italian Republic still more, and places its resources absolutely at the disposal of the First Magistrate of France. Bonaparte here commands such a proportion of the army, and warlike ammunition found in the Italian Republic, as may be judged necessary to be delivered up to France. The property in these which is left to the Italian Republic is fixed at 4,000,000 of livres: whether France is to reimburse this sum, or whether a proportion of their own property to this amount is to be left in their hands is not explained. The only pretext under which this extraordinary grant can be made is, that these places were once conquered by France, that on giving them up to the Italian Republic, she only gave up what portion of them she chose; and that she can at any time reclaim her grant, or what part of it suits her. It is evident that the whole resources of the Italian Republic may, by the same logic, be laid claim to: and what more could be done to a conquered country immediately in the hands of France?
The affairs of Switzerland have returned to their ancient channel, with a rapidity scarcely equalled by the violence of a revolutionary explosion, tending to overturn a long established government. The old Federative government, under which the Swiss so long enjoyed their primitive simplicity of manners, has everywhere triumphed: and the Helvetic Republic, the offspring of so many years of bloodshed and disaster, has suddenly dwindled to a few fugitives, throwing themselves on the protection of France. The conduct which the First Consul will pursue on this occasion now admits no dispute: It is true that he once formally declared himself the supporter of the new Helvetic Government; but at that time his party appeared the decided majority. The face of affairs is now completely changed. The French troops would have to contend with the whole power of Switzerland; and the vigour of the Consular Government would be employed to prevent in Switzerland the restoration of the ancient order of things, a measure which it is as actively employed to restore in France. These considerations may serve to produce the same effects that might be expected from the generosity and humanity of a more elevated mind.
LAUSANNE, September 23.
Yesterday was mustered the whole reserve of Lausanne and to-day a company sets out for Yverdon.
Citizens Ruttimann, Statthalter, and the Senator Mesmer set off yesterday for the army.
The Minister at War has received the following dispatch from General Andermatt, dated yesterday, from his head quarters at Morat:
"Citizen Minister, the moment I effected the junction of the three battalions of Vandois, at Payerne, I set off from it to take a position here. The Insurgents retreated on the approach of my troops, who pursued them as far as Guminen; night put an end to a very hot cannonade; yet we had only seven men slightly wounded; those of the enemy must be much more considerable. We have made a dozen of prisoners, who made but a poor appearance; three of them are wounded. The enemy has retreated from before Friburgh. A copy of the orders was found on a dragoon who was killed. I shall send out some reconnoitring parties to-morrow. (Signed) ANDERMATT."
Switzerland, at this moment, presents a very peculiar aspect. It is, as it were, divided into three distinct states, which have each their separate interests: These states are the five ancient petty cantons; those which adhere to the canton of Berne; and those of Fribourg and the Pays de Vaud, to which the Government has retired. The five petty cantons, at the head of which is Aloys Reding, were desirous yesterday of holding a General Diet at Schwitz, in order to consolidate their ancient constitution. Reding invited all the cantons to form a Diet; but it is probable the five petty cantons only will send their representatives. The Deputies of Basle, Zurich, Solenne, and Schaffhausen united at Berne, wished also to hold a Diet after their own manner. These five cantons have always signalized themselves above the rest by their power, their industry, their riches, their commerce, and in a word by their civilization. The five petty cantons, much poorer, have been celebrated by their ancient energy, they have always had peculiar manners. The Vaudese, who now have the government among them, follow a peculiar kind of life, and have a character and language altogether different. The Valais is already separate from Helvetia. It is probable that what remains will form three separate states: This separation, perhaps, is necessary for the restoration of union in Switzerland. In a word, it is to be observed, that in all these debates little blood has been shed, and that all parties have treated each other with a great deal of respect, though they have settled their quarrels with arms in their hands. Bodies of armed men wander about through the Canton of Zurich, and commit various excesses, carrying away from the peaceable citizens their arms, money, and other property.
FRANCE. - ACTS OF GOVERNMENT. St. Cloud, Sept. 30.
Bonaparte, First Consul of the French Republic, and President of the Italian Republic, to the Eighteen Cantons of the Helvetic Republic.
Inhabitants of Helvetia, YOU have presented for these two years past an afflicting spectacle. Opposite factions have successively seized on power; they have signalized their reigns by a system of partiality, which shewed their weakness and inability.
In the course of the year 10, your government desired to have the few French troops in Helvetia withdrawn. The French Government willingly seized this occasion to honour your independence; but quickly afterwards your different parties recommenced the troubles with new fury; the blood of the Swiss was shed by the hands of the Swiss.
You have disputed together three years, without understanding each other; you will go on killing one another three years longer, without coming to a better understanding. Besides, your history proves that your intestine wars could not be terminated without the efficacious intervention of France.
It is true that I had endeavoured not to meddle with your affairs. I had constantly seen your different governments, requesting of me advice, which they never followed, and sometimes abusing my name according to their interests and passions. But I neither can or ought to remain insensible to the misery to which you are a prey. I revoke my resolve. I will be mediator of your differences; but my mediation shall be efficacious, such as becomes the great people in whose name I speak.
Five days after the notification of the present proclamation, the Senate shall meet at Berne.
Every Magistracy formed at Berne, since the capitulation shall be dissolved, and cease to meet or exercise any authority.
The Prefects shall be at their posts. All authorities that have been formed shall cease to meet.
The collecting of arms shall cease.
The first and second Helvetic demi-brigades shall form the garrison of Berne.
The troops raised for above six months past shall be only troops remaining in corps.
In fine, all the licenced individuals of the belligerent armies, and who are now armed, shall deposit their arms at the municipality of the Commune of their birth.
The Senate shall send three deputies to Paris; each canton may send an equal number.
All the citizens, who, for these three

years past have been Landamans, Seamen, and have successively occupied places in the central authority, may repair to Paris, to make known the methods of restoring union and tranquillity, and of conciliating all parties.
On my part I have a right to expect that no city, commune, or corps, will do any thing contrary to the dispositions I have made known to you.
Inhabitants of Helvetia! awake to hope!
Your country is on the border of a precipice. It shall be immediately drawn from it; all men of property will second this generous project.
But if, which I cannot think, there were among you a number of individuals who had too little virtue to sacrifice their passions and prejudices to the love of their country, People of Helvetia, you would be unworthy of your ancestors!!!
There is no man in his senses who does not see that the mediation I take upon myself is for Helvetia, a blessing of that Providence, which, amid so many convulsions and shocks, has always favoured the existence and independence of your nation; & that this mediation is the only way which remains by which you can save the one or the other. For, it is time, indeed, for you to think that if the patriotism and union of your ancestors founded your republic, the evil spirit of your factions, should it continue, will infallibly destroy it; and it will be painful to reflect, that at an epoch when many new republics are arising, fate has marked the end of one of the most ancient.
By the First Consul. BONAPARTE. The Secretary of State. (Signed) MARET.
ARRETE of Oct. 2.
The Consuls of the Republic, on the Report of the Minister of Marine and colonies, and with the advice of the Council of State, decree:—

III. All blacks or mulattoes entering the continental territory of the republic, after the publication of the present arrete, not provided with the authority specified in the preceding article shall be apprehended and detained until they can be transported.

NEW YORK, November 25.
Capt. Pease, of the Schooner John, who arrived here yesterday, last from Turks Island, and in 25 days from Cape Francois, informs, that the blacks had taken Fort Dauphine in the night by surprise, which they had burned; their force was very considerable and daily augmenting. The brigands were still in possession of Port-de-Paix. The French troops died very rapidly—a reinforcement was daily expected, as a fleet had been spoken off Porto Rico, from France bound to the Cape.—Markets were remarkably dull at the Cape.

PHILADELPHIA, November 25.
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 17.
Yesterday evening the memorable event of a general Peace was proclaimed in this place; but in a manner which evinced what a trifling share our government had in effecting it. On similar occasions this ceremony has been extremely splendid and pompous; but on the present there was little more than when the governor gives an order to have the streets cleaned. It is true he has been forced to this measure by the importunities of the Intendant, who was only waiting for that event to shut the port against neutrals, an order for which would likewise have taken place last evening, had he not the intention of subjoining to this publication a prohibition of the American deposit in this place, without assigning to them any other for the purpose. This as you may suppose, has produced a great deal of conversation here, and has, in no small degree agitated the heads of our different departments, all of whom, except the Intendant, are opposed to it.
The Intendant had prepared, and would have published last evening, if he had not met with strong opposition from the Governor, an order, setting the trade of this colony on the old establishment of 1782, which preremptorily excludes all foreigners from trading here, and limits the commerce of the Spaniards to their own ports, so that the intercourse between us and the United States would thereby be annihilated.
To this point however, the Governor cannot oppose him, without assuming all the responsibility, which may involve serious considerations. But the Intendant has subjoined to this order another equally unauthorised and imprudent: viz. annulling the treaty between the United States and his Catholic Majesty, by violating the right of deposit to the Americans.—The Intendant contends, that this right was granted but for three years, which are expired. The Governor is of a contrary opinion, and the altercations which have ensued, have been very warm and copious. Nothing, however, is yet determined on. The Intendant, it is believed, will not give up the point; and the Governor, it is said, is resolved to oppose the measure with all the weight of his authority.
If this is the case, the Intendant will no doubt be arrested, and his business will devolve upon an officer from whose general character we have every reason to expect the greatest moderation, and every thing compatible with his duty. The port will, if the person alluded to succeeds to the authority of the Intendant, be continued open until advices are received from the captain-general of the Havanna, and the deposit remain free.
As I feel myself by these circumstances particularly interested, I have taken some trouble to obtain the best information on this business, and as it is equally interesting to your countrymen, I have seized the only opportunity which will offer for some time to apprise you of the subject.
P. S. Should the affair terminate in time to overtake the vessel by which this goes before she gets out of the river, it is our intention to send an express after her, in order to advise our friends. In such case you shall be sure to hear from me.
Another letter of the 18th says, that affairs continued unaltered. That the Governor conceived the conduct of the Intendant as tantamount to a declaration of war against the United States, and would oppose it by armed force.

** The Anniversary Meeting of the St. Andrew's Society will be held at Gadsby's Tavern, to-morrow, the 30th inst. at 10 o'Clock, A. M.
Dinner on the table at 3 o'Clock.
By order of the President.
A. HENDERSON, Sec'y.
On Saturday last the second Legion of Militia of the District of Columbia, were reviewed by the President of the United States, & Brigadier general Mason. It is supposed about 400 men were on parade.
The last intelligence from N. Orleans, received by arrivals, announce the shutting of that port, against the citizens of the United States. Those who are personally acquainted with New Orleans, know how little dependance can be placed on popular rumours, in that city, respecting European Intelligence. The present report, however, appears to be well authenticated. The suspension of Neutral Commerce was to have been expected long ere this: that it has not taken place earlier, may be accounted for, from the equivocal position of Louisiana; as the Court of Madrid might not have considered it essential to take any internal measures for the temporary government of a country ceded to the French Republic. Whether the orders stated to have been received, indicate any new measures, which have been whispered, respecting that country, between France and Spain, time must disclose. In the mean while, however, the interests of the United States must suffer, unless the provisions of our treaty with Spain, are fully executed. By the treaty of St. Lorenzo et Rea, dated the 27th October, 1795, His Catholic Majesty stipulated "to permit the citizens of the United States, for the space of three years from that time, to deposit their merchandizes and effects in the port of New Orleans, and to export them from thence without paying any other duty than a fair price for the hire of stores, and his Majesty promises, either to continue this permission, if he finds during that time that it is not prejudicial to the interest of Spain, or if he should not agree to continue, he will assign to them on another part of the banks of the Mississippi an equivalent establishment."
What motives can have influenced the Spanish Court to change the place of deposit from the city of New Orleans, should such be the fact, are inconceivable. The prosperity of that city depends so much on its intercourse with the United States, that should another place of deposit be assigned, the trade of New Orleans must rapidly decline. This is the opinion of every enlightened merchant of that place, who consequently, must deprecate the measure. If no other equivalent establishment should be assigned, the letter and spirit of the Treaty will be completely violated; the trade of the upper waters must stop at Natchez—and that of the Atlantic States, ascend to Loftus' heights, within the boundary of the United States. It is scarcely to be presumed, that our Administration will patiently submit to this infringement. It is improper, however, to anticipate a subject, which still rests on conjecture, especially, as it is well understood, that every precautionary measure has been adopted by the Executive of the United States, to secure the peace, tranquillity and prosperity of this remote, but important portion of the Union.
[N. Y. D. Adv.]
DECREE,
Of the Intendant of New Orleans, dated October 16.
While it was necessary to tolerate the commerce of neutrals that now is abolished—it would have been prejudicial to the colony, should the intendant conforming to his duty, have hindered the deposit of property in this city granted to the Americans in the 22d article of the treaty of friendship, boundary and navigation, made the 27th October, in the year 1795.—Then since the prefixed term of 3 years is accomplished, with the publication of the ratification of the treaty of Amiens; and the communication between the Spanish subjects and the English re-established,
that inconvenience has ceased. Considering that the 27th article of the aforesaid treaty ties my hand against the continuance of the tolerance that necessity exacted, and the aforesaid term of 3 years being completed, this intendency can no longer grant it without express orders from the King.—This not to prejudice the exportation of what is already in deposit. I command that from this date that the facility or privilege that Americans had of introducing and depositing their merchandize and effects in this capital be prohibited. And that the above may come to the notice of all, and that nobody may alledge ignorance, I command that this shall be published in the accustomed places; and copies of it posted up, and that the necessary information may pass to the officers of the royal rents, the customs and where it may be necessary."
A Gentleman observed a few evenings since in a company, that the politics of Europe might be compared to the four common rules of arithmetic—Addition had got into France, Subtraction into Italy, Multiplication into England, & Division into Germany. [London Paper.]

LAND FOR SALE.
THAT well known Tract called WEST POINT, situate in the lower end of King William County, and bounded by York, Mattaponi and Pamunkey Rivers, containing nearly 3000 acres.
To be minute in delineating the many and great natural advantages attached to this land, would be superfluous, as strangers would view it before they purchase; & those who are acquainted with it, want no further information. It may not however be improper to say, that as to fertility of soil, benefit of navigation, and the advantage of fish, oysters and wild fowl, it is not exceeded by any tract of land in Virginia. This land will be disposed of by Public Sale, at West Point, on Wednesday, the first day of December next, in lots, of from three to four hundred acres, on the following terms, to wit: One third of the purchase money paid down, one third in eighteen months, and the balance in one year after the expiration of the said eighteen months; and the payments to be secured by bond and a deed of trust on the land, with interest from the day of sale.
A clear and indefeasible title will be made to the purchasers by the subscribers, who have authorized Mr. Patrick Henderson to attend the sale and make conveyances.
