EXTRACT OP A PRIVATE LETDER.

Palos, yeses 25.
Yesterday, 'after the mass, the First Consul left
St. Cloud for Brabant, and no sooner was he gone,
than all the legions of the police agents and spies
b.ve, were put into unusual aßivity ; and last night'
after dark, all pewits passing in the streets were
asked their cards of citizens, or passports ; and those
who had neither, were arrested, and were this morn-
ing carried before the Prefea of the Police, to give
an account of themselves. Every body entering or
leaving Paris, must show his pass at the barriers ;
and if he has none, he is stopped, and sent to the
nearest Commissary of Police to be examined.
Most of the English, who had permission to re-
side at Paris, received on the 23d, orders to join thcir
countrymen at Fontainbleau, in 21 hours.
The guards arc doubled every where, and a com-
pany of the Consular Guards placed to protest the
telegraph. General Junot, the commander at Paris,
has been ordered by the Consul to head the patrol
himself, every night, during the Consul's absence.
Domicikiary vis;ts were made last night in the
Palais Royal, and in all the Hotels of the neigh-
bouring streets, and several suspected persons were
taken up and sent to prison.
Those measures of terror has;e been advised by
the Grand Judge, and the Senators Lucien Berm-
Parte, Fouche, Rcederer, and Le Fevre, on a pre-
tended discovery of the united efforts of the Roy-
alist and Jacobin Factions, to spread discontent,
sad to propose a new revolution.
The Senator Sieyes was told on the 20th inst. by
the first Physician to the First Consul, that a visit to
Spa, fir sia weeks, would be very useful to his health,
and he lefs Par.'s hut Wed:satiny, to driai the Spa
waters.

All General Officers, but those in active service,
have left Paris.
The good Parisians highly regret the absence,
and as highly desire the return, of the First Consul,
and the cessation of the terrorism of his Regency.
The genealogy of Brutus, Aly, Napoleone Bona-
parte. From a pamphlet much circulated in France
in 1800, called 44 The Genealogy of the Cor-
sican Successor to the French Bourbons, written in
La Vendee, and printed in the temple, by a Chouan,"
the following is an extras t
4. After the disgrace of Theodore King of Corsica,
the Republic of Genoa published an official paper to
make him and his adherents more ridiculous and
despised, entitled, ,sa List of all persons enobled by
the adventurer, calling himself King Theodore.of
Corsica ;" this list was printed by the widow Rossi
at Genoa in 1744, and contains, page 6 and 7, some
curious remarks upon the Usurper's family, more to
be depended on than those which fear, interest, mean-
ness, and adulation have fabricated, since he seated
himself upon the throne of the Bourbons.
44 When in May 3, 1736, Porto Vecchio was at-
tacked ; a butcher from A jaccio, called Joseph()
Buena, brought a seasonable assistance with a band
of vagabonds and robbers, who, during the civil
troubles, had chosen him .for their leader ; in return
King Theodore, on the 4th of May of the same year,
created him a nobleman, and permitted him, as a
memorandum of his services, to add to his name
Bona the final termination parte ; his wife's name
was Histria, daughter of a journeyman tanner at
Bastia. The father of Josephs Bona Carlo Bono
kept a wine house for sailors ; but being accused and
convi.led of murder and robbery, he died a galley-
slave at Genoa, 1724 ; his wife, as an accomplice,
and who, on account of her extremely vicious cha-
racter, was called La Bide', died in 1730, in the
house of correkclion at Geneva ; those were the
grand and great grand parents of his Consular Ma-
jesty.

0, Who his father was is well known, and that he
served and betrayed by turns his country during the
civil wars. After France bad conquered Corsica,
he was the spy to the French governors, and his wife
their mistress. From this pure and virtuous source
descends Brutus, Aly, Napoleone Bonaparte, the
successor of the Bourbons, born in a country whose
inhabitants were in the time of the Romans held in
such detestation, on account of their infamous and
eacherons disposition, that they would not have
them even for their slAve3.
" At Toulon, in 1793, the Upstart signed his re-
ports Brutus Bonaparte,* and he now signs only Bo-
naparte, no doubt with a wish to have the world for-
get, that the Brutus of Robespierre, and the Aly of
the Direttory, in the selfsame Napoleons Bonaparte

who is at present the tyrant of France and the plague
of Europe.

Those very salutary regulations for the health of the
seamen and marines of the fleet, are again about to
take place, which, in the late war, in the long cruise
of 18 weeks off Brest, couduced so much to keep
off that dreadful pest to our brave tar, the sea
scurvy, viz, a regular and plentiful iupply of vege-
tables of all descriptions that will keep, including
turnips. cabbages, onions, carrots, leek% &c. dec.
by which means each ship's company can Isaxe three
fresh :orals per week.
