?AVIS, JAS. 91,

Esw these three months past every means have
baen lesorted so, in tredve to,iutar. the existence el
Ws, as distant trom the conduit and pull of Cs.- .
sernnstau as destitute of foundation. Report has
assentWed.ussneils, and put into the mouths of the
*row. the ultra absurd speeches ; this is only to be
athibuted to ignorance, or to the waist of that ac-
urn?, to which gut events have ft:r some yens
5c.:1%4(4re%! us. At present, false reports ' are
s, re aJ in .dse departments; they lilt so diserni-
o..:.: imiuietUdo amongst the acquires of naisnel
property. They suppose that this prc'ptrty is to be
s:haeged with a particular tax ; it is, therefore, at
the present moment, that gover.ur.ent has thought
proper so publish, in the united depaitments, the
law-s relative to the sale of national property, for the
purpose of increasing the revenue produced by
shirt objea. We think it our duty to advise all
good citizeas, particularly in the distant depart-
nients, who m.ty be more easily deceived, to pay no
atter.tion to these suggestions. roe fi,-it duty of
the French ptsple, and the first policy of the Re-
public, win be ever to nraiumin, nu:on:hod, and
without any clistinition, the acquires of 1:61.M.C1
popery. In fad, to have had confidence in the Re-
public, when it was astacked by all Europe, and to
stave united its destiny and private interest with
the destiny and getrd interest of the country, sill
ever be considered as a meritorious aer by the
I,2te and the people. In the department of Le
Com tfOr, the most disastrous news is rJported, re.
lative to the troops which lately embarked at Tow.
; on this suhjeB, we can assure the fathers of
families, that this is equally false; they ought to
be sensible, that the oisjoet of these insinuations is to
.retard the progress of the conscription, which is at
present levying in their department.
It is not extra,.rdinary that our enemies should
seek to foment. in the State all sorts of intrigues,
and toexrite every kind isf inquietude and disunion.
!t is the duty of good citizens to he upon their
guard against their sug3estions. The enemies of
onr repose ought, iu factr to isehnld, with regret, the
brave youths who by turns fly in crowds under our
standards, to take the places of their elders ; some

day they will march in their steps and imitate their
conduct and bravery. In sonic departments of the
' IVest, it is reported that the Salt Az:" rill he re.
established this year, and that discussions o this
subject have. taken place in the Council of State.—
he report is false. Whatever can most interest the
departments of the West, which have suffered more
than any others, will he long the special obje:11 of
she Government's solicitude. We are in that situa-
dun that we bare no want of any increase of taxes;
the Government is occupied in endeaveuring to di..
:ix:nil our exrafes,and not in adding to them.

The Executive of the Canton of Basle have ad-

jeft of an exchange projeaed between the Margrave
of BADE!' and the Helvetic Senate, by which the
Balt.sc villages on the right Bank of .the Rhine
would be ceded to the Margrave, who is to abandon
to Switzerland different towns and Villages, de-
pending on the Principality of Cor.stance, and si-
tuated on the left Bank of the Rhine.
Ike have received from Paris the important in-
telligence, that all the Cantonal Organisations are
completed and approved by t°•: FritsT Cosset-
They will be transmitted officially to the superior
authorities of the Nineteen Cantons, to b! preseuted
in the usual form, for the acceptance of the Hel-

LONDON,
MONDAY, ILL 7.

We yesterday received Paris papers up to the X
instant.—Thry do nut contain any article of im-
portance, except one iii tl:e Moniour of the .Ist,
which throws a refietted light upon the .internal
state of France, for three months past.—lt gives us
to understand, that, during -that period, attempts
have been -made to excite distrust and jealunsy
among the people, and render them discontented
with the Government. Among the means used for
the accomplishment of this
,purpose, it states, Re-
ports have been propagated, that it was the in-
tention of Government to introduce a tax, •which
should attach exclusively upon the pumhatiets
of National Property; and that the impost upon
Salt was going to be revived in the Western Depart-
ments. .As a third mode, and we believe the most
ealtual one, it mentions the circulation of the most
disistrous news respeaing the troops lately embark-
ed at Toulon, a circumstance that shelvs how unpo-
pular the St. Domingo enterprize must be, and leads
es to se7pose that the raisittg of forces for that ser-
vice has met a much mere scrious and general op-
position than the few loose accounts of the violent
ccntlan!'t of the Conscripts, lately given in the Paris
papers, would warrant. When the official paper
thus deigns to admit that discontent exists in any de-
gree ; when it ad:nits that it exists; not only in the
South but in the West, and reaches every purchaser
of National Lomains, we may •fairly infer that such
discontent is nut only general in its extent, but stlf-
..
ciently violent in a degree to alarm the Govern-
ment. The Funds are still rising.

The Five pr Cents. are 581. 10c.

We have received Dublin Papers, from V.lai cla we
ha •:e made some extra as, and with the greattr piea-
sure, as they conErm the account, given ex duffi ve/y
in our Paper of Thurs Jay last, relative to the.na-
tare of the disturbances in South of Ireland.

Cur readers perceive, in our Report of the
arrangement of the State Prisoners, whose trial
commences th:s day, by Spetial Commission, tliat
the Court will not alien:- ary single trial to be pub-
lished until the vliclir bare been gone tibrow2,ll.
ad!lnre this injunction, aril shall most cheer-
-fully and faithfully ol:ey it. I:► the mean time we
have taken the most eift:ctual means to insure a
most complete and accurate report of the proceed-
ings, which shall be laid before the public as soon
as it can be possibli done without departing front
the rule which the Court has bid down, and which
nobody, we trust, will be hardy enough to violate.

Saturday we received the NewYork.Papers to the
4th of January inclusive, being nearly a fortniet
late- than thole which were rev:ived in.the course of
the week. The following is the only article which
they contain respecting St. Domingo, and is given
is the Gazette of the 3d of January. " The Ali.-
r;:r.r...a, Andoll, is arrived at Philadelphia, in sixteen
days, from Port Republican. A reinforcement ar-
rived previous to the sailing of the Minerva, of
I'2oo men, under the command of General Bac-
ITTu. At expedition was about to be undertaken
against the Brigands, who occupied L'Archaye."

'Colonel Ses acr lAN! says, he went to Alexandria,
to demand that General StuAtt r should evacuate
Egypt, in conformity with the treaty of Amiens.—
l'he treaty LI Amiens guarantees the integrity of
the Turkish dominious, of which Acre is a part,
yet SLDASTIANII, in his zeal fOr the execution
of that treaty, does not hesitate to propos:: a friendly
cinr.e6tion with the Paella of that place, after he
has told him that he has renounced the inithofity of .
the Pus re.—lie even boasts in his report, that
there is little conneftion between Syria and the ()E-
-tonian government.
'1 he illoniteur of the 2d instant contains a great
number of decrees for regulating the Public Schools
of France, and particularly for the eration of exist-
ing Schools into iSeconditry Schools.
A writer in the Argue has the audacity tosay that
he heard Mr. WiNDIL O'Se words in the House of
Commons calculated to encourage the assassination
of lloNaeaarc, and he has also the audacity to
appeal to Mr. N scoot-Ls, now in Paris, for the truth
of this base assertion.
Letters from C ibraltar of the 10th ult. state that
the Garrison was quiet and regular as usual. The
three ringleaders in the late chsturbances there, were
shot, on the Grand l'araue, on the 4th, in presence
of the whole garrison, which was under arms on the
occasion. 'I he firing patty wi.s drawn by lot from
the men of the tith regiment. The unhappy suf-
fernrs manifested great contrition for their crime,
and acknowledged the justice of their sentence,
which seemed to make a deep impression on the
troops, who, as usual, were alters aids marched by
rile past the dead bodies.
