the Paris Papers, we have received er:/usteety, up t
the 21 instant, admits a general plenty upon tla.
Continent, but afFeets to lament a dearness, which
it attributes to English monopoly. The latter, how-
ever, is not tine. We know from our private cor-
respondence, that bread upon the Continent, at
least in France and Germany, was lately 75 per
teat. cheaper than in England. On the kh last, a
loaf of bread, weighing 41b. sold at Paris for four-
teen sous, or three-halfpence farthing ; and at Ham-
burgh, on the '.1(1 instant, bread was only two-pence
per pound. These prices evince the abundance of
corn, and the cheapness of bread, in those places,
which, we are assured by respe'table mercl.ants, is
still lower in Russia and Sweden.

A paragraph in the Clef du Catinet states, that
JosErn Bor.:APART E, and all the officers I)elonging
to the army upon the coast, on leave of absence at
Paris, have suddenly left the capital for the camps,
where, kis SAW, BONAPARTY. is shortly expelled in

person. From these circumstances, the Paris Edi-
tors conclude, for the ninety-ninth time, that the
expedition against England will sail beturetbe day
of the coronation. We cannot be expelled to place
much continence in this prophecy, although it may
be probable, that the Mock Emperor has ar-
rived upon the coast, as well as his brother
Jost.rit. We should not be surprised, if the
presence of the Usurper was become more ne-
cessary to silence murmur and discontent in the
camps, than for the purpose of hastening the at-
tempt of invasion at this advanced season. The
rumour of a malignant fever having penetrated
into the French provinces upon the Spanish side is
' contradiaed ; but French picquets are established
along the frontier as a measure of precaution.
