PARISIAN RUMOURS.

THE outrageous views and measures of the French
Emperor give .occasion to reports that hiStory will
,treat.as incredible .fiaions when their. consequences •
are lost in a more regular order of things: Indeed,
though we are melancholy witnesses of his ambition,
and the dreadful effects of it, it is difficult to give
any credit to-the designs that are imputed to him-in
France- Among the lastof the reports in thecapitl
of. the Usurper it-is stated, that SIEYES, HAUTERIVE,
pisoty, and RCEDEREIt, hold daily conferences with
Confidential
.Agents of the Kings Of IlAvita lA, WIR:-
TEM./ntall, BADEN, and CATTI, for the purpose of
reorganizing the principles of their respetlive
narchies% lt is said that the Systems Of Goverthnent
in all these. dependent Kingdoms are Ito be formed
as- nearly as possible upon the model of Imperial
France. • It is Said; that these' vassaMOnarChs
are to be permitted to dispose of all Church Lands,
and to have, the immediate regulation of all Mo-.
nastic Establishments, 'as -well as to convert tithes
into settled taxes ; that the Clergy'larc, in all- the
new Royal Freiwh Provinces, to.receive-stated sala-
ries-from Government; as under-the Iniperial Head
of those Provinces,- -The Nobility Under the :new
Monarchial Systems,: are to be deprived of their for-
frier privileges; and more
.particularly of their feudal
rights, which are held to. be .totally incompatible
with_ the authority. vested in the. new Kings, and
that claimed by their-Supreme Director in France;
but the•there titles of the. Nobility:, are not to. be
aboliShed. The old Orders of Knighthood ire-to be
organized upon the plan of BOIMPARTE'S.Legion of
Honoiar. Provincial Governors arc to be denominated
I Prefe6s ; ancrthose who were formerly failed, nin-
cillora of -War, of Justice, and of Commerce; are,
according to •the,new plan, -to be called Senators,
Legislators, and -Tribunes. A kind of FaMily Coin-
pattbetween France
,And all the Federal Kingdoms
is to take place,::-and to.be considered as indissoluble.
Their respeEtiveforees are at all times to be at the
disposal-of France), who,- in return, is to guarantee
with all her power:their rank and territories. -In fael,
BoNAP4ATE is-to be the-great Manager of the Fede-
ral Puppets, wild. are to- move only as he, pulls •the
strings.—Among other-rumours in Paris; it is.confi-
dently stated.that the King of Prussia, as some corn-
- pensation I,(ir the mortification which he has' suffered
in-seeing SQ. many mushrooms; raised to .an equality
.of rank with himself, is to be permitted to proclaim
himself Emperorofßrandenburgh,or to take.any other
itrrpZ'rlal dignity
,thathe'may think more appropriate
.to the nature --ond extent of his dominions.' • But
then, as a draw-back upon, this gracioUs-boon,•A
Nephew of Alqarrie,l3oNAPAßTE has demanded die
hand of a Prussian Princess, in order .to strengthen
political by relative ties.- The Nephew,, to be a
• suitable Pretender, is to be an EleLior of Germany.
, Such are the extravagant reports which are prevalent
in those political circles of Paris which -affed to be
_ best informed; and however incredible they n-my
appear, the wonderful success of the French Mo-
narch; andthe immeasurable nature of his ambition
and arrogance,.bring.that within the limits of possi-
.bility which othei:Wise Might _be
,considered. as the
wild conceptions.of a delirious imagination. -"'
