PARTS, YE). S.
Last Friday, after the Emperor had inspeCted the
work. at the LOOM', he repaired to the workshop
of M. Monte, where he contemplated, with inte-
rest, the monument of Dessaix, which is to be con-
veyed, in spring, to the hospital of the Great Mount
Sc. Bernard. His MAjesty then proceeded to the
shop of 11. Drjoup, where he surveyed the Plaister
of Paris mmtiel for the brass statue of General
Kletwr, which is to Le erected in the Place des Vic-

harts.
The Princess of Lucca and Piumbino is on her
way to Paz is.

Yesterday evening, the Emperor appeared un-
expeltedly at the Timotre fr.ncois. It is impossible
to describe the enthusi.sm excised by his presence.
The pit obliged the deity's to begin the play (. fau-
Cho Cali dines), of which two ails were performed,
over again. When the Emperor withdrew at the
sod of the piece, the whole pit rushed out, and fol-
lowed him with plaudits and acclamations to his
palace.

Ninety-ti: tens of money have arrived, under a

strong escort, at the palace of the Thuilleries.
Report speaks of various changes in our Admi.
nistratien. It is said, that the Minister of Marine
11_71011 retire. and will be succeeded by CatTarelli, the
riseine Prefect at Breit, or Champagny, the present
ittiniater of the Interior, who was formerly a Cap-
tain in the Navy. The Counsellor of State, Reg-
sault dm St. Jean d'Angely is spoken of as Minis-
ter of the Interh.r. 'llte Bank has resumed its pay-
ments since the return of the Emperor. Much
blame k thrown upon Bathe Marhois, the late Mi-
nister of the Treasury, on account of the embar-
rassments of the Balk ; and it is added, that he
might have prevented the failure of the house
d'Hirvaz.

PARIS. FOL.'
S.
The 11&nitres. of this day contains a list of the
Swedish ships which are stated to have been partly
carried into French ports. and partly destroyed,
since the commencement of hostilities with Sweden.
Th-ir number amounts to 5-`2. Of these, five were
horned at sea, five were carried into the ports of
Allied Powers, and the remainder into French har-
bours. In the latter, seven Swedish ships, which
put into them. were seized.
The Abbe llamas, brother to the General of that
name. in the Neapolitan service, the Count
Id'Hautefort. and Mesdames de Gevres and Duvau,
have saddosly left this city.
The muskets, sabres, and cartouch-bw

zoh.
On Sunday, M. Robillard Perouvilie, presented
to the Emperor the first volume of kis magnificent
description of the French Museum.
Yesterday. the fete took place at the Opera,
which had been announced, to celebrate the return
of the Emperor to the capitala Never was the Opera
HOWLS so filled. After the arrival of Their Ma-
jesties, during the second act of the play, Les Pre-
feather, the performance was suspended, as the
acclamations and plaudits were continued without
ceasing. The company rose, waved over their
beads the palm branches with which they had
provided themselves, and, according to the Jour.
nab, the house had for a time the appearance of
one entire wood of laurels. The scenes were then
shifted, and the second piece commenced, in which
was interwoven an historical narrative of the
achievements of Napoleon. The author of the
piece was called for. The text is by Esmenard,
author of the Poem on Navigation, and the nsuaic
by Steibelt.
Last Friday Their Imperial Majesties held their
first solemn levee. Notices were seat round to
those who were to attend it, is a billet, to the fol-

The audience began about two o'clock, when the
persona were summoned by the Court. They pass-
ed by the thrones one aft,u. another. The ettrette
was to make three obeisances.—The Fist, standing,
opposite to the throne ; the second, on appr"aching
near to it ; and the third, atter retiring a few paces

TEN S.

We have this moment received intelligence, that
7000 French troops yesterday entered the Rheingau,
and imposed on the county of Rodetherm, near
Franckfort, a contribution of 100,000 crowns.

Thete are now patavian troops in the greater
part of the villages situate on the left hank of the
Main. A part of these troops will, to-day, pass to
the right bank, and extend themselves from our
environs to Aschaffenberg.

ROVOREDO, JAN• 30.

The French army, destined to act against the
kingdom of Naples, is to be augmented to 80,000
men.

A company of the Royal Bavarian Light Infan-
try battalion of Dierfurt, has entered thistown, as a

garrison.

The Italian Journals say, that the French will
undertake an expedition to Sicily, as well as against
Naples; for the force prepared against the latter
seems more than requisite to obtain the ohjed.

•E%ICL, yam! 22.
Last Sunday and Monday, 3,5n3 French, tinder
General Miollis, entered this city ; after regulations
for its evacuation had been agreed upon between
General Lauriston and the Austrian Commissioner,
Marquis Von Chisilieri. The French alighted at
the Place of St. Mark, where they were favourably
received by the people. G‘.neral Miollis announced
by a Proclamation, that all the Venetians were new
children of Napoleon the Great; and, at the same
time, ho made known, that in future the Carnival
would be kept in the same manner as in the time
of the Republic, and that while it continued, every
person would be at liberty to wear a mask in pub-
lic. This excited general joy, and the Carnival of
the present year will be extremely brilliant.
General Miollis likenise sent for the principal
merchants, and required them to communicate to
him their wishes, ideas, and projeds. for reviving
commerce; and, in particular, for restoring the de-
cayed state of the Bank, and placing it on a solid
footing. He is a man of sound judgtn•et ; and it
is the desire of the Emperor Napoleon, that Venice
shall speedily flourish. A fleet of men of war is
to be built in the arsenal, and Dalmatia will supply
excellent seamen. The Viceroy of Italy, and his
Consort, are soon expelled here, and preparations
are already making for great festivities.

♦NOTH[R LETTtII FROM VIMICE, JAW. 19.
This day, General Miollis took possession of our
city, in the name of the Emperor of the French
and King of Italy. The French troops under Gen.
Herlin formed a balmily,' guerre, in the Place of St.
Mark. The concourse of speErators was ♦ery
great. The windows in St. Mark's Place were filled
with the most beautiful women. General Miollis
was attended by General Lauriston and other Of.
beers. The former having proceeded into the midst
of the bTraillon Ingo, General Fririon, Chief of
the General Staff, read the following Proclamation
of General Miolli' :
"Venetians ! You now form a part of the kinaloni of Italy.
The pledges of your happy destiny, are the sle.tiny ui Na.
Iwleon tb•Creat, and the resolute yet hwevole-t ch.r.aeter
of his Imperial themes; Eugene Navallcon of France, Vice.
tor of Italy, in 10,014 manic I addn•as you Unity, an•l threw
eirtii..s by which you hare been distinguished in history, must
be 'be ground.werit of your felicity, which is now irrevoca•
bly combined with that of the brave Italians."

This Proclamation was received with loud ap-
plause. It was succeeded by a salute of artillery ;
and the bands of all the corps played various
marches. The innumerable spedators exclaimed,
" Long live the Emperor Napoleon !" •• Long live
Prince Eugene Napoleon !" The soldiers mounted
their hats on the points of their bayonets. After
this, there was a great dinner for the officers, at Ge-
neral Lauriston's, and then a levei, at which the
Austrian General Bellegarde, had his Adjutants,
were present.

Ni) speftacle could be more beautiful than the
lagoons, at the moment the Austrian troops were
departing, and the French were mining the city,

The Harnburgh Mail due on Wednesiav arrived
last nig!it, with letters and papers to the 15th, from
which we have made several canals.
The contribution imposed by Aucvitae upon
the city of Frankfort, was four millions of livres,
and not one million, as we stated yesterday : this is
evidently only the first ad of an extensive system
of plunder, which BONAPARTE has in coutempla-
tion. On the 7th instant, 7000 French troops en-
tered the Rheingau, and imposed on the county of
Rodelheim, near Franckfurt, a eonttibittion of
100,000 crowns. Every new arrival from the
Continent will bring us a fresh instance of these
cruel extortions.

The French army of Naples is to be augmented
to 80,000 men. As this force is considered much
greater than is necessary fur the reduction of that
kingdom, it is supposed that part of it is intended
for the conquest of Sicily.
General Mio [Ars took possession of Venice, on
the 19th of .lanuary, at the head ui 3,500 French.
He told the merchants, that it was the ve:..L of the
Emperor N aroctoN, that Venice should speedily
fl.uati.sh with revived commerce. A fle.t of men of
war is to be built in the arsenal, and Dalmatia is ex-
pected to supply excellent seamen.

Accounts, we understand, have been received
from Dublin, of partial disturbances having broken
out in the county of Mayo, in the West of Ireland,
but totally uticonnefled with political prejudices.
They are stared to have originated exclusively in
the business of tythes, the colle.tion of which is
frequently managed in a way very vexatious and
oppiessive to die power classes. This is a griev.
ance of long sanding in Ireland, particularly in
the South, where it has often produced riot and
turedion. We do not, however, remember the
county of Galway, which is in the West of Ireland,
to have been a scene of discontent from this cause.
We congratulate the country upon the safe re-
turn of the whole of oar troops from the Continent.
