LONDON :
SUNDAY, MARCH 3.

TIIE Paris papers of Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and
Wednesday last, arrived last night. The following arc

extracts :

PARIS, FED. 27.

" Yesterday, at eleven o'clock, the Ambassador of his
Britannic Majesty delivered a letter to the King from the
Prince Regent.
_ _

" FromPerigucux they write, that a regicide, well
known in that country, had received orders to set off forth-
with. Instead of obeying that order, he endeavoured to
mislead some men, and excite them against the authorities;
but his manoeuvres having been discovered, he was taken
up and delivered over to the tribunals with 11 of his ac-
complices.

" The too famous Whee has been killed at Morbrison
by the Bens d'armes ordered to arrest him; against whom
he had discharged several pistols, and threatened to dis-
charge others.
" A letter from the keeper of the Seals to the Attorney-
General, &c. of the Royal Courts and Tribunals of the
Eastern Departments, dated the 25th, referring to the
occupation of military positions on the eastern frontier by
an allied army, directs a good understanding to be main-
tained with the officers of that army. Directions are
then given us to the conduct to be observed in disputes
between the military and civil authorities ; the latter
being desired to grant whatever is comparable with the
dignity of the Crown, but to maintain its rights with
courage and firmness.
" A. copy of the letter containing these instructions has
been communicated to the Duke of Wellington, who has
recognised the regulation to be applicable to existing cir-
cumstances.

" The following explanation has been given relative
to the preservation of the Testament of the unfortunate
Queen Marie Antoinette.
" At a period when it was impossible for ordinary pri-
soners to communicate with any person out of their dun-
geons, it was little to be expected that a letter from the
Queen of France would be respected by the agents of
the government committees. Robespierre was at that
time the man to whom were ultimately referred all!reports
and all the measures of vigilance. The letter of the
august victim was accordingly sent to him.
" It is known that lie lodged with Dupleix, a carpen-
ter; and it was reported at the time that Dupleix's
daughter was much in his confidence. Towards the end
of his rare; r, he consigned to her care the papers, to
which he attached the greatest importance. When he
was overthrown by the catastrophe of the 9th Thermidor,
the young woman, Dupleix, in her alarm, disclosed the
deposit which he had given to her.

."
The Conventional Courtois was directed to examine
the papers of Robespierre. He found there the gneen's
letter, and kept it, without mentioning it in the inventory.
He since preserved it as at relic, of which he, doubtless,
was not worthy of appreciating the value; hut in favour
of which the instinct of admiration which is attached to
great misfortunes, in spite of himself; prevailed.

grandeur, a letter which, in the natural order of his ideas,
should have appeared to him as indifferent as that of 'a
victim of the lower class.

" Amiens, Beauvais, and all the other places on this
side of the Somme, in which English troops were can_
toned, are now evacuated. All the troops that form no
part cf the army of occupation, arc marching on Calais to
embark. All the territory beyond the line traced by the
Treaty of Paris will thus be evacuated. Peronne and
Loon will have neither French or English garrisons, the
service will be performed by the National Guard.
" The French Funds were on the 97th 641, and the
Bank Actions 1070; a rise of 1 per cent. in the former, be--
yond the price of the preceding day, and of :q in the
latter."

A Mail from Hamburgh has brought some papers
from one of which the following article is translated :

WARSAW, FEB. 12.
On the 13th of last month there appeared at St. Peters-
burgh an ImperialTussian Manifesto, which contains a
recapitulation of all the great events, the development
and glorious termination of which we have beheld. As
a specimen of the eloquetwe and energy with which it is
drawn up, we adduce the following picture of the war
just finished, and which is at the beginning of this do-
cument:—

It is u most extraordinary event, such as never yet hap-
pened on earth, as it were an evil prepared in the lowest
pit of hell, formed for the violent convulsions and anni.
hilution of the whole world, and which attained the degree
of power which it was destined Wretch by the unseurch-
able decrees of the Most High.
From its very beginning, this war, like a cloud im.
pregnated with fire and poisonous impours, did not arise
from the casual dispute of one State with another; it
arose not to be again extinguished--no, but after the ex-
tirpation of every virtue implanted by God in the human
heart, to glut itself with the inexpressible misery thence
arising, and not to be extinguished but in the blood of all
the human race.

It is a moral monster, generated by vice ; which taking
root in the hearts of men, fallen off from God, fed with
the milk of error, and enveloped in the mystery of deceit
and falsehood, long roved about from land to land, under
the mask of knowledge and light; and with lips dropping
honey, sowed in unexperienced hearts and minds the
seeds of disunion and perdition.

His Royal Highness, the Prince Regent, is expected iet
town, next week.

Tuesday several of the Royal cooks and livery servants
left town for N't eymouth, to attend on Prince Lmpold of
Saxe Coboargii.
Mr. Canning nn his arrival, will, it is said, be appointed
First Lord of the Admiralty. Lord Melville to go to the
Board of Controul.

On Tuesday the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor gave a
splendid entertainment to the Court of Assistants of the
Fishmongers' Company and their ladies, at the Mansion-
House. The Marquis of Lunsdowne, Lords Holland and
Erskine, and Sir E. Hamilton, as honorary Members of
the Fishmongers' Company, were also present. Their
Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Kent mut Sussex, the
American Minister, and several others of distinction. ho-
noured the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress with their
company on the occasion. The party consisted of sixty
persons. _ .

Three more Judges, we arc sorry to say, are seriously
indisposed.
The Dutch papers contain frightful accounts of the
ravages of the plague in the Turkish provinces. In Bos-
nia, consisting of a million of inhabitants, one half have
perished! The Christians have on this occasion suffered
in an equal degree with the Turks.
According to intelligence from Rome, King Charles
IV. is about to return to his son, Ferdinand VII.

Extract of a private letter from Paris.—" $o deter.
mined is the new Government to destroy every memento
of Napoleon, that orders were liven sonic days since to
break the whole of the medal dies at the Mint. These
medals consisted of about 9.00 in number, and had been
struck on particular occasions recording a victory, the
marriage of Napoleon, coronation, a peace with any of
the powers, Confederation of the Rhine," &c. &c.
By the latest advices from Rio Janeiro, it appears that
the reception of Marshal Lord Beresford by the Prince of
the Brazils, was must flattering. He carried his point
against the Regency most completely in every question,
and the organization of the Anglo-Portuguese army is
now confirmed in a manner highly fluttering and benefi-
cial to our officers.

The number of ships on foreign stations, that are yet
to be paid off is 82, bearing an aggregate number of
MOM seamen. The number of seamen now wanting
ti complete the crews of those ships which are intended
for foreign service, is about 4.000.
The principal pecuniary legacies lett by the late Duke
of Norfolk are as follow:

/ALL'S POCULI SUPP.EMA trt* LEIC.

ME temperature of the atmosphere having been
imilder during tie: lust week, than in the preceding one,
those diseases which were so lauds aggravated by its in-
fluence, have experienced a proportionate amelioration in
their sruptoins. Whatever may have been the cause,
catarrhs, or colds, hate seldom been more universally
prevalent ; and they have, undoubtedly, during this
period, possessed a contagious character. When the dis..
ease has once touched an individual in a tinily, it has
usually spread through every branch of it, with u greater
or less degree of severity, according to the peculiar state
or constitution of each person, or to the accidental cir-
cumstances of aggravation, or mitigation, to which he
shall have been subjected. Many persons have altogether
denied the contagious nature of this disease ; but, he-
sick.* its having had this character assigned to it by some
of our most experienced nosologists, including the venera-
ble CULLEN, the frequent propagation of the disease
throughout the whole population of an extensive district
leaves us little room to doubt of the fact. It appears, in
were scaeons, to be truly epidemic, and either to be de-
rived from some unknown influence of the atmosphere, or
to be communicated by personal intercourse. Although
pretty general in its attacks, the disease has not, on the
present occasion, been very fatal ; yet, in many instances,
it appears to have laid the foundation of serious affections,
especially among aged people. There is no disease, on
which more erroneous notions scent to prevail, respecting
its causes and treatment, than this; it may not be amiss,
theretiwe, to say a few words on the subject. In its or-
dinary state, (I mean when not epidemic, as it has lately
been,) the production of the complaint is usually attri-
buted to cold, but not always with propriety. Exposure
to cold, indeed, is a powertid exciting cause of catarrh ;
and so also is heat, the stimulus of which will sometimes
pr duce an increased secretion from the mucous membrane
of the air-paesagee—the wind-pipe and lungs, constituting
catarrh, with no less certainty than cold. We accordingly
hear people complain that they have a cold upon them,
notwithstanding the excessive care they have taken to
keep themselves warm. But all their cure, perhaps, may
not have been sufficient to protect them from some acci-
dental exposure for a short time, to air rather cooler than
they are accustomed to, and the disease may be thus
caused in a person who has been predisposed to its attack
by previous heat. The change, whether from heat to
cold, or from cold to heat, will equslly produce the com-
plaint in very delicate subjects ; for those who are robust
and strong can more readily endure the transition. Many
a cold is brought on by the very means taken to prevent
it. A person is accidentally exposed to the action of cold
and moisture for a time, and feels himself chilled by their
influence ; the powers of life are depressed, and the regu-
lar actions of the system diminished. The natural conse-
quence of this would be, upon his withdrawing front the
exciting (*use, that a rc.aetion would take place ; an ex-
cess of power in proportion to its fanner depression would.
cnsue, and the natural balance would be restored, merely
by that principle of preservation and renovation, with
which our Creator has endowed the animal system. Con-
fident in his own wisdom, however, and impatient of the
tardy process of nature, man seeks to itecomplish by three,
and with celerity, that which nature would effect with
certainty and safety. He inunediatcly takes some stimu-
lating drinks, to drive out the cold, and thus carries to ex-
cess the state of Action which naturally results flow pre-
elms cold, and actually produces catarrh, or some worse
disease.; when nature would, if not interfered with, have
restored health. We cannot, therefore' wonder at hear-
ing him complain that he has caught a cold, not withsenul.
ing the warm comfortable things he took to prevent it.
It is not always just to reason from analogy in the science
oftnedicino I but, perhaps the following illustration may
lerve our purpose, If a man has an elastic spring, which
he wishes to keep precisely in a horizontal direction, and
this spring is by some pressure on its upper surface
carried vntsiderubly below its proper level ; would
he, upon removing the pressure, apply a hammer to
the under surface to restore the spring to its horizon.
top direction ? No, be is aware, that, on removing the
Pressure, the spring will not only return to its proper di-
rection, but will considerably exceed it upwards, and his
only care will bo to prevent the exertion of too much
ertion by the gulden removal of the pressure. So it is
eith the powers of action in the human system, A con.
: ilenitde depression of them from cold or any other cause,
will be followed by an excess of action, previously to their
return to a state of health. A hot stage will universally
seemed to a cold one. By our interference with hot sti-
mulating drinks in the case supposed, we only overact the
pert, which mature would perform with nicety and pre.
rkion, It would follow, therefore, that when a person
eaughi a cold, be cannot he too cautious of returning,
o ten to his ordinary diendi ; he should certainly avoid
in-
cre them. Every expedient, then, of drinking drums
or other hot liquors, because a person ha., been exposed to
tebl, Is extremely prejudicial ; nothing can properly kW-
-11 ysuch a measure, except in cases where the powers of
176 are so fur exhausted as to leave room to fear that rte.
de.:Oet cannot commence of itself; and then still more can-
non is requisite, that we do not, by an injudicious !Ripply
