The seizure of malt, occasioned by its being protected by
boards flaw the damp of walls to which we have adverted in a
former paper. Walt folly Investigated by the :11sicistrates at Bath,
on the !nth duly, and with that eitoiloar and impartiality which
50 singular a ease requited ; and their decision elineided with
our expectations. It waech arty proved, that the boards in
question had been placed in that situ Mon for tic:111:y fifteen
years; And the right of protecting the malt from injury by this
or any otlic;. means was skean to Lc incontrovertible. The
Bench we: also of opinion, that it never was the intention of
the i 't .1%11 to prose the ruin of ally out. alto Might, by accident
and withoot ifittlitmii, subject himself to its penalties; and
that if malt w.ns in ::11 improper situation for F..inging it, it was

LONDON:
MONDAY„IUGUST 12.

WE have received the Paris Papers of Wednesday
last.
The French Government seem to be actively employed
in re-creating an army. Thirty Lieutenant-Generals
and 60 Major-Generals have just been placed in active
service. Among the Lieutenant-Generals are—Fournier,
Lahoussayc, l'reval, Colbert, and Merlin. It appears
from a paragraph, couched in general terms, inserted in
the Gazette de Francois, that a Banking-house at Paris
had navt d to its correspondents 15 respectable houses as
being in a state of discredit. This circumstance having
transpired on the Royal Exchange at London, protests,
- tin want of Bills being accepted, took place against drafts
drawn from Paris, thotigh the funds were provided. May
not this circumstance have contributed to the depreci-
ation in thclunds both here and at Paris?
It is rumoured, that in consequence of the French
Government neglecting to pay the stipulated contribu-
-tions, the allied Monarchs have determined to indemnify
• themselves, by retaining in sovereignty the French for-
tresses which they now hold in trust. This detormina-
rtion is certainly very just, because the fortresses were in-
tended by .an parties to guarantee the fulfilment of the
late Treaces. According to this rumour, the Kings of
Prussia, Bavaria, and the Netherlands, are each to have
those fortresses which adjoin their respestive frontiers.
.England is to have 'both the islands of Mauritius and
.flour Lon, . instead of only ore. Russia is to have Gila-
. &loupe, :and all the above Allies arc to unite in paying
to Austria the remainder of her proportion of the con-
.tributions, her finances requiring innnediate assistance.
It is this circumstance which has depressed the French
Funds, and has caused the French Government to apply
u' those experienced Generals of the Revolution, who
.have been neglected till now; for Frazee has evinced a
dt•t,:rmination to resist this arrangement, and seems to
confide in support both from Spain and Anictica.
An article from Brussels states, that no means are neg-
-lected to accelerate the organization ef the French army.
To accomplish this important object, Officers of all ranks,
who have served under Buonaparte, and have not too
greatly distinguished themselves as enemies to the pre-
sent Government, are called into active service. The
Duke of Feltre has also resolved to give importantt:ora-
mands le a certain number of Generals in whom the obl
•iemy had particular confidence. It is pretended that by
.this measure the French army will in two months re-
ceive an addition of 100,000 old soldiers.
It appears by accounts from Lille, and by a Circular
from the Prefect of the Department, that some serious
quarrels have taken place betweim the allied troops and
:the inhabitants.
The French Journalists arc eager to convince the
world, that English manufactures are every where reject-
rd. The King of Naples, they tell us, prefers French to
iiiit;sh cloth tier his troops.
it is painful to see with what industry the Bourbons
Are .reoiying the old superstitious rites. A..processiou of
