LON DON,
SATURDAY, Octoatit 15.

A.letter from Paris of the 26th ult. r.tatqs, " that
the Deputation from that capital to meet and com-
pliment the Pore on the French frontiers, was t
set out on the 2.1 of October. There have been great
intrigues both in the Senate, in the Council of State,
and in the Tribunate, among the Generals and
Bishops, to be seleaed for this mission. After long
and violent discussions, each corps fixed upon a cer-
tain number of its Members, who made preparations
accordingly for the journey, when Gen. CAFFACELLI
arrived from Cologne with another list from BON a-
r ART!, excluding all those previously chosen. It is
supposed, that Bos A ARIL found himself offended
with the constituted anthorities for nominating these
deputies without his previcis permission and or-
ders. THis has ceased much laughter upon one
side, and discontent on the other, and is another
proof of the precarious liberty enjoyed by even Do-
say •a s'sfavouriteplacemen. CA vr ARLLL a, as well
as General Molter, are still at Paris, and wait for
another courier from BON P ART& before they puts-
lish his ofAcial list, as they have presumed to pro-
pose some alterations, particularly, as Senator Far-
GUIs, appointed by BON AiTA UTZ to be of the depu-
tation, died suddenly."

Letters have been received from Jersey, with the
information, that the French gun-boats blociaded
at St. Mader had escaped to Cherbourg during the
dark rights LW week, and that about thirty more
armed vends had arrived at St. Mad) from the
westward, wechiog, no doubt, an opportune; to,
join the others. Our cruisers have looked into the
everal harbours on that part of the French coast,
an 1 as far as they have been able to ascertain, at
Cherbourg a•e b••tween 50 and GO armed vessels, be-
longing to the Grand Arinala, With 5G transports
and 1. air stout ft ;gates. At Granville were counted
IG stout gun-boats, the same number of smaller
craft. and twelve transports; and, at St. Malo,
about thirty gun-boats, prawns; and eat-bottottO
hosts, with forty-two transports. According to re-
ports from France, though son of the troops pp-
psrit: Jersey and Guernsey have =ltched for the
interior, and for La Vendee, the expedition against
these islands is not laid aside, as fresh troops are
duly ex peSted to arrive from the camp near '4104 to
replace them. • •
