PROM THE FR FNCH PAPERS.

PARIS, APRIL 9.

The aeronaut Gail:ard is going to Milan to assist
at the fete of the Coronation of His Majesty the
Emperor; he is now at Grenoble. where he is pre-
sparing a balloon of 600 yards of taffeta.
Every title of intirnals and Almanacks being al-
most exhausted, Germany has jas: been enriched by
a new paper, the name of which, for the purpose
of exciting curiosity, is, The Gavwea Ladies Jour-
nal, written by Ladies, and eJit, d by Mesdames
Vieland, Schilles, Rochitz, and Seutue.

bd. Hager, famous fcr many works of vast eru-
dition, and for the great undertaking which His
Majesty has entrusted to him, of publishing at
Paris a diaionary of the Chinese language, with
Chinese charaCters, engraved by Fourmont, has
been occupied, for some time, in putting in ordzr the
117,000 charafters, now in the Imperial Printing-
house. This immense work is finished, and .to.
thing delays the impression at the dictionary. Thus
France will more and more justify the praise, a hich
Wien the Engli►h grant her, of having made known
the Chinese literature to the learned of Europe.
On the 48th of last month, six gun-boats from
Calais came into Boulogne harbour, in the sight
of óe English squadron.
The Court of Criminal Justice, sitting at Tours, a
few days ante, condemned a conwrip, who had de-
livered to a register a dispensation from services
which he had forged. to eight years imprisonment,
and to stand six hours in the pillory.
The tribunal of Nivelles, in the department of
the Dyle, on the 18th of March, pronounced a de-
cree, which condemned a person of the name of
Francotte to a fine of 500 francs, and a year's ins.
prisonment, he having been cuus•itled of knowingly
concealing a coned ipt.
Arrived at Bourdeaur, during the last month,
157 vessels, manned by 1010 men, and carrying
16,077 tons. Sailed 175, manned by loaf men, and
carrying 16,219 tons.
The department of La Vendee continues to be
infested with ravenous wolves, and, unfortunately,
the woods with which t' le country is covered, have
wondered almost inefednal every measure taken to
destroy them.

In the last sitting of the National Institute, M.
Biot read a lefture on the formation of water by
compression alone. It is mown that water is com-
posed of two kinds of gas, oxYges, and hydrogen,
which are combined together by means of the elas-
tic spirit. M. Biot has succeeded in making this
combiaation, independent of elearicity, and in ra-
pidly compressing a mixt:re of the two kinds of
gm, inclosed in an air-pump. The compression, in
approaching the particles of gas, makes them throw
out a quantity of heat sufficient to set them on fire.
Some precautions must be taken in repeating this
experiment, as it cannot be tried without danger.
Out of three experiments which M. Not made,
there were two of them where the tube of brass,
which forms the pump, and the pump itself, which
was of iron, have been burst by the force of the
explosion.
The family of D'Aubigne have become extina
by the death of Madame de Toulongeon, who died
at Fontainbleau, on the 25th last. Two persons
principally have made this family illustrious ;
Agrippa D'Aubigne, famous for his courage, for
his attachment to Calvinism, and, above all, by the
friendship of Henry the Fourth ; and Madame
blaintenon.

VIENNA, MARCH 21.
It is said, that a new rule is to be made, which
will forbid, on pain of Imperial censure, the print-
ing or publishing, for the future, of any kind of
romances in the Austrian States. Those that have
been already published by permission, will not be
allowed to be advertised in the Public Journals.
AAAAA IfOIT. SIAIIICH 30.
Letters from Vienna state, that Father Maurice
Mourne remains at Vienna, at the house 9f Lord
Paget, the English Ambassador, who has interested
himself with the Emperor's Ministers to grant him
a passport with which he might return ; bat we are
assured, that the answer made to Lord Paget is in
substance, that Father Maurice Hourne, in quality
of Exclesiastie, being under the authority of his
Bishop and the Pope, ought to submit himself to
their orders, and that, at any rate, the Court of Vi-
eanicoald not, "or would not, intermeddle in this
business. It is thought, that the intriguing Bess
dictioe will go to England.

CAILLAILUIIit ♦east 1.
The Diet of Wirtemberg has addressed the Elec-
tor on the staled of the arresu which have Ludy
taken place in that country, a repeessmation of
which the following is the substance :
• of Ills Eledgral Highness bad nominated, to di-
, as the process in the case of the conspiracy, a pri.
• ate 'Conarair.ion, composed of Members of the
y Council and of the Regency, who appointed
Sitreir Secretary the Secretary of the Privy Conn-

ea. This commission has eentinned its Th aims!
until the present time: without the Regency of The
country having approved the establishment of the
estraordinai y commission, and without this last
having lutsed ulterior instruoions and direEtions
procedure to the regular and only competent au-
thority. The Members of thz Diet are certainly
very far from wishing to retard, in any manner, the
measures tending to discover the crime and the cri-
minals which may exist, according to what His
Etcetera! Highness has plthlished ; but, they be-
lieve they should violate the most sacred of
their ditties, if they lost sight of the principles
sanetioned by the common jurisprudence in
Germar.y, as well as by the fundamental laws
of Wirtemberg. Your Elefforal Highness cannot
be ignorant that the observance of these legal forms
was never in contradidion, as to such informations,
with the application of the legal means to discover
the truth; and if these are cares, in which the safety
of the State, or of the supreme person of the So-
vereign, justify the prompt arrest of persons sus-
pefted on light grounds ; the Constitution of Wir-
temberg expressly requires, that the proceedings
shall take place conformable with the arid observ-
ance of forms which it has pretcribed. The Mem-
bers of the Diet are convinc. d that the Eleaor will
never misinterpret the principles, or swerve from the
said forms. They therefore pray his Highness to
transfer this affair to the superior regency of Wir-
tenaberg, and to suSjed the commission extraordi-
nary to the said authority."

There has been no answer returned to this remon-

strance.

The Diet have confirmed M. Kluppfel in his oist
of deputy extraordinary of the Provi!iotpil S-ates to
Vienna. The powers with wliich M. Bata had
been invested, are suspended till the issue of his
prosecution.

The Commission extraordinary is held in the
Chateau de la Solitude, where are also the accused
persons, who are very well treated : each have two
apartments, a very good table, and enjly the li-
berty of walking an hour every day, escorted by
armed chasscurs.

ST. SRBASTIAR, MARCH 6.

The day before yest:•rday came into the port of
Guardia the corsair named la Qaipaataana, belong.
ing to a privateer of our town, and commanded by
D. Manuel de Collado. It brought in an English
brig called the Art 4: , richly laden with fine ci(.llis
and valuable stuffs, destined for Turkey. This
prize is estimated at more than 80,000 pizstres.

IIAyONNE. IMAICiI 17.

Letters from Spain inform us, that Colonel Ge-
neral Junot, the new Ambassador a the Emperor to
the Portuguese Government, is arrived at Madrid,
from whence he continues his route to Lisbon.

According to the same accounts, there has issued
from St. Sebasticn, St. Andre, Vigo, and other
ports of Biscay an.l Gallicia, a great numher of
privateers, to pick up the English merchantmen.

NICE, MARCH 22.

Nfessrs. Leclerc and Company received yesterday
news from Spain, that the corssir rlntretifir, newly
fitt.d out, had taken from the English, and carried
into a Spanish port, a second prize, laden with to-
bacco, manufadured at Brazil.

THE HAGUE. MARCH 30.

Every thing is ready fur the formation of the
camp at.Zeist. It is thought that the troops will go
into it o.: the Ist day of May.
Every thing possible has been done lately to aug-
ment the number of tro-ps for the colonies, and,
above all, the number of Officers. Some days since,
a detachment went from this for the Cape of Good
Hope—and, with it, some superior officers, and
many artillery officers. Their arrival in this colony
will be by so much the more necessary, as we have
been informed that some months ago Colonel Legat,
and many superior officers, went from thence with
a certain quantity of troops, to Batavia,. and the
other Dutch possessions in Asia. The last news which
we have received of Vice-Admiral Hartsinck and
his squadron are extremely satisfaitory.
The last news from the Cape of Good Hope re-
moves all the fears which bad been entertained of a
projeft of the enemy against this colony, they bad
no other origin but the imagination of one of the
colonists.
