Late yesterday evening, we saw pan through
this place successively. a French Cowin. front Peril
to the Hague, and a Courier from the French AIM
baseador at Berlin for Paris, who bad /Aden muse
the greatest expedition. Both were *barrels/IA
dispatches which were of the most resting
Fortance. Some moments after, that also peeled
theologh In Englishman of respoSability, frees 'Pa-
ris, on his roots to Holland. He alloseed hints& .
scarcely the necessary time to change honer.

The letters from the Empire of ;kerne of July, are
full of details of the movements of the Grand Arisy,
conformably to the known orders of the Etipehara
for its completion, and to make it reassume a far..
like attitude. But all these marshes of trorips,
which produced a momentary apprehension in INV
South of Gernlany, that war woold be immediatilf
rekindled on the Continent, must 'loon afterwards
have subsided. We already announced this agree-
able turn of things, as very near at hand, in our
last Gazette, when we gave the 61st indications of
these warLke movements, and the counter-order
issued by the Emperor Napoleon, Immediately after
the signature of peace between France and Russia.
Some letters from Paris say, that the arrangO.
ments with Prussia, both with regard to the revo-
lution in Germany, and the adjusting of a certain
difference respeaing same distributirin of territory
in Westphalia, have been completely terminated to
the satisfaition of both parties. All these matters
standing in more or less connet4ion with the nego-
ciatioe oetween England and France. there Is reason
to hope, that all obstacles to a getters! peace will
be removed. Lord Lauderdale, add these letters,
will finish at Paris the great wink which is the wish
of ail.

In the night between the Sth and 6th instant, the
camp of 30,000 men, which the Dey hid assembled
under the walls of this city, broke op to march
against Tunis. But the arrival of a Courier, this
day, from Constantinople, with dispatches for the
Dey, has, it is said, induced the Day to meld orders
to his army to halt. It is supposed diet these die.
patches consist of letters front the prineipal Chiefs
at Tunis, and that their contests hew. dissuaded
our Dey from his design.

The march of French troops to the borders of
the Inn continues wiinterrupted ; and nothing bt..t
the ratification of the peace lately conclude! with
Russia, and the yielding of Austria, who non have
no share in the Confederation of the Princes of the
Rhine, and in the annihilation of the Germanic
Constitution, appear sifScient to present a war
upon the Continent. Through Swahili, the march
of French troops continues with astonishing or-
lerity, and the French transport with them much
artillery, &c. chest was hcely on its return to France.

On the day after the surrender of Gaeta, toe gar,
rison embarked for Sicily, after having given their
word of honour not to carry arms against Franca
during a year and a day. The English left in the
town the five mortar% which they placed there.—
There remain also 120 pieces of artillery, and a
greet quantity of warlike stern.
It was oa the 11th of July that the Pr:nee e

by a splinter from a *ell thrown down by the ex-
plosion of a bomb ; he remained on the spot as is
deal He was then carried on board an English
vessel, which immediately sailed for Palermo. We
are assured that his wtosnds are so severe, that hi,
life i, despaired of. Has Adlutalt, Colonel Hote,
succeeded him hi the command of the place.
PARIS, ♦eO. 8.

According to one of our Journals of this day,
many people are of opinion, that the peace with ,
England is Already signed, and that it will, if not
wilier, he made public on the bitth.day of the
Emperor, this day sc'nnight.
The Jewish Assembly here has already answered
arts of the questions proposed to it : these are as
follow ;-
1. r Awful for the Jews to marry more than one wife?
I b Divorce aqcweal by the Jewish religidn Is it lawful,
althiiugh no ,entence respecting it he pronounced by the
Tribunals, and in pursuance of the French Code?
C. Ma, &Jewess marry a Christimi, and a Chrittlan feniale
with &Jew ? or el•me the law require that inches solely malty
among each other ?
The rower contains principally, that the Jewish law, in the
iciaest same, permits polygamy, thenrce, and milted mar
sieges, but that these are limit.•,i by pradice and usage. To
the que•ti•w which relates to the duties of French citiecns, the
Assembly voluntarily, and without prenseditatiou,answeied in
the fullest manner.
FROM THE FRISCH PAPERS.
PARIS, AUG 7.
The Comte de Metternich arrived in Paris last
• Stt:iday. It is long since the Diplomatic Corps was
to complete as it is at this moment.
(FROM THE ARGUS )
't The present situation of Europe calls for a
political sy stem totally different from that which.
to its shame, the English Government has followed
so long. The time is not far distant, when, even
for its very interest, the Court of London will be
very glad to acknowledge the rights common to all
nations. It has hitherto made war upon principles
winch it should already have disavowed. Doubt-
less we ought not to be surprised, that in the midst
of a negociation which promises a happy result, it
is still making formidable preparations. Franca
discovers the wee attention to support the
strength o• her armies, and the military spirit which
animates her soldiers. These demonstrations only
prove dse.clesire of each of these Powers to mike
peace the more advantageous and solid. But what
grieves us is. to see that England has not yet re-
n.,unced, in her expeditions, that system of disor-
ganisation and anarchy which is incompatible with
, the existence of civilised society. The expedition
of Miranda, to which it cannot be doubr:d that
England has promised assistance ; the connatioas
kept up with Dessalines, and the revolted in Sr,
Domingo; in short, the nature of the aid given to
King Ferdinand, and which has consisted in or-
pais ng revolt, pillage, and assassination in Cala-
bi is. are a true scandal in the eyes of all European
Governments. The law of nations certainly per-
mits the defence of the states of an ally, but it must
be by legi-imare means; for war also has its leg' e
lotion, the objea of which is to diminish the calm
snities which it brings in its ttain. It would pro-
mote the cause of humanity, were there never seen
in camps any other than regular troops, or regularly
organized. In a :evoked country, all the inhabit.
ants become enemies. The cottage o' the labourer
is no longer a respected asylum. The whole people
are exposed to the horrors of war. It is full time
that governments should cease to have recourse to
this miserable resource. The Emperor of the French
has disdained to employ it in this war. No revolted
subjees have been seen under his triumphant colours.
Let us hope that the example which he gives to the
world will not be lost. and that his glorious reign
shall be the epoch of a policy more stable and more
advantageous for humanity."
•U 011111111•, JULY 26.
A great number of German libels, with which
Suabia was inundated, have been seized in the pos-
session of the bookseller Stag. This bookseller re-
wired them from his Correspondent Stein, at Nu-
remberg, who obtained them from the booksellers
Kupfer, of Vienna, and Enrich, of Lintz, cities in
which these libels have been fabricated. The House
of Austria employs a singular method of making
her acknowledgements for the moderation and ge-
nerosity of the Emperor Napoleon, is exciting, by
libels, the inhabitants of Swabia against his armies.
What a melancholy resource! The Emperor of
Austria, too faithful, is ignorant of these maneu-
vers; but the Ministers who dired his Cabinet, and
who continue the enemies of their country, will end
by drawing on its ruin.
The booksellers Kupfer and Eurich may one day
pay for this perfidious conduct. The Emperor has
caused to be delivered up to a Military Commission
the venders of these libels, as guilty nt having at-
tempted to raise the country against the army. Cer-
tainly, if the French army had wished to excite
countries against their governments. it would have
had se need of libels.
