LON D 0 N, DECEMBER z. 4„ 1201.

WE ;Lis mornihg received Paris Faders of the

zgth inst.
The journal des Debats, and the Clef du Cabinet,
both state the sailing of the Brest Fleet.
The Chief Consul, in proposing three Candidates
for the vacant places in the Senate, General LA_
MAItTELLIERE, General JOURDAN, and General
BERRUTER, observes, that he has thought fit to chuse
Military Citizens, in order to give the Armies a tes.
timonial of the national .satisfadion and gratitude.
The Minister of the Marine has published an
account transmitted by VicroJt.. HUGU ES, dated
I 9th of Olober, of the state of the Commerce of
Cayemse during the 9th year.

- The exportation of Colonial Produce, he states,
has been more considerable by 580,000 livres than
in any of the preceding years, and has exceeded the
importation 56,000.
Eight hundred 0t,4 sixty Blarkg had come into
Cayenne in the, 'same, year—double the most nu-
merous importation which ever' took place in any
former year.
" The Coutitry," says Vic.Toa HuouEs, 6‘ is
little known— it is a more al4nclant mine of fortune
than any other Colony."

Citizen HUGUES has repaired all .the public edi-
fices in Cayenne, which_stood in need of it He, has
made considerable canals, and is at this moment re-
pairing the College.
The transported Priests who were there, have
obtained the means of returning to France, in con-
formity with the intentions of the Chief Consul.
Very few remain there, and there will soon be none
in the Colony,, but those to whom it is agreeable to
remain there.

By an Article from Ratisbon, of Dec. 3, it ap_
pears that the Diet hold few sittings, and are occu-
pied in trifling subjeets, because the Ministers of
the principal Powers are absent.

The Tiers Can, on the I Bth was at-54,

WE can assure the Pubkic, that we have no dis-

position to notice any observations in-coternporary
Papers, except when we feel it to be an intlispensi-
bleduty to animadvert on gross scurrility, glaring
misrepresentation, or dirdt falsehood.
Under which of these divisions ought to be
classed' a paragraph which was meant to t.llet the
lead in an Evening Paper of Tuestici,(we'must leave
it to our Readers to decide—lt states, 'f that so
far from any marked attention havitig been shown
to Marquis CORNWALLIS since 'his arrival in'
France, he had net even had the honour of one
Audience from the Fs Ltsr. CoNy.,e Iwbilat ar Paris,
and that his name and his business are hardly ever
mentioned in the French Papers.",
The Editors of that Paper, andthe Writer of the
above paragraph, either believed these two propo-
sitions to be true, or knew them to be false. If
they believed tlim to be true, they were bound in
truty to'that.Public, which they ought not to mis_
lead, to have qualified themselves by vrop,-,.r inqui-
ries, to speak with certainty before they hazarded
a communication of such .a nature with a tone of
confidence. If they knew then to be filse, which
..we cannot help suspecting, let thefr own Readers
decide by what motives they must have been insti_
. sated, and, in either case, what, degree of credi
they may in future be entitled to.
Both the Propoiitions are false.--We will not
mince the matter'. We assert, that (while at Paris,
Marquis CORNWALLIS had Two Audiences of the
FIRST CONSI.:L,---was received with 'narked respect,
and 'was abundantly satisfied 4-with 'all that passed
at those intervie,:vs.--7We also assert, that the at-
tentions which...he bas uniformly experienced- ever
since he landed in France, have exceeded, perhaps,
ank that have ever been shewn to any British
bassador on former occasions ; that all accounts agree
in stating, not only the very high importance that
has been attached to his mission by the French at

large, but the very distinguished attentions that

have been paid by all descriptions of persons, both
at Paris and Amiems; to the dlgnified Representative

- ,
of Elle BR t.rtsti-MONiiRCA ; and that when the de-
_
parttire of this oialied,Chara&er from Paris, pre-
cluded the pnssihility of. the eontinuance of thn,sc
•
uttehtions in the Capital, the, same- honours, the
same proofs of high opinion and veneration,_attend-
. ed him at iimiev, where we have no doubt -that
the e talehts, that temper, that uprightness- and
, •
assiduity, .which so peculiarly identify him vith'
the Administration by whom he is employed, and
by whom he w4s so judiciously seleaed; Will,..in a
!very few weeks put and 00 to7.a
Mission, in the way of which, we hope, there is not
one individual in either Cotmtry, who would,-wish

to throw any impediment.
