FRENCH journals of the fnd and 9.3 d have been
received. The chief incident which they contain is one
which interests the subjects of France more than those
of Great Britain ; the- firmer being the creditors, and
we the debtors. The French, who have claims upon. the
English Government, are called upon to submit their
titles before the :28th instant, at the Office for the Li-

The Nloniteur of the 23d uh. contains an official no-

country. It announces, that the. Duchess of Berri.is
in the fifth month of her pregnancy, and .enjoys good
health.

Court of Brasil.

New York Papers to the 30th of .January.were re,
ceivcd on Thursday. They contain an Act of the Ameri-

of the American shipping from our West India Islands,
an Act of Congress has passed by which.all British ves-
