GENTLEMEP,

Prom the FRENCII and DUTCH PAPERS.

PARIS, Au 4. 3.—The news of-the signing of
PeaCe between' trance and Russia did not reach Ger-
many
till the end of July. It produced a sensation
the more agreeable, since the movements Avhich the
troops began to make rather-announced.preparkuions.
for war, .than an approaching return of . the troops
into the Interior. -

Letters from Rome speak of an approaching elec-
tion of five Cardinals.

The following is the Circular Note addressed by
the MiniSrer of the Marine to the Maritime Pre-
feets, and other Officers, commanding in the Ports,
on the occasion of the Peace concluded With Russia:

AUGUST aye assured that a Deputation
from Dalmatia haS.arrived at Paris.
It is remarkable enough- that the opening of The
Hebrew Synod tOok place precisely on their Sab-
bath. The leWish Law forbids every .kind Orem-
ploymen't oilAllat day, and,. notwithstanding., the
Members of the Assembly took a part, without,re-
pugnante, in: every thing whidli the Circumstance
demandea of them. Distinguished by their .vtrtylt
their intelligence, and the probity, they wisi;ed-to
give to their brethren an example, doubtless,
will-ria.be lost.- This single -trait' will enable us .to
judge how much -they are disposed 'to enter into
those views which have occasioned their convoca-
tion.

ASSEMBLY OF , FRENCH DEPUTIES PROFESSINq THE

RELXGION OF TUE JEWS.

SBCOND SITTING

The Commissioners of his MajeAf having entered
the Hail, M. MoLE,-who was:at th,fri. back, Address-
td the Assembly as follows; ,

•
" His Majesty.. the Emperor and King having
appbinted Lis Commissioners, to treat. with you, re-
specting your own atfairs, has sent us 'here this ,day
Ibr the pnrPosc.i. of commonicitting intentions,
Called from, the faythest parts of this vast empire,
none of you can btignorant of the purpOse fOr which
you are as,;emblc,.d here. You are aware that the
condu& of any of those who, profess your religion
has given rise to complaints which' have reached- the
foot of the Throne. These complaints were. not
without foundation. The Emperor, notwithstand-
ing; contented himself with arresting- the progress
of the evil, and wished to have ycur opinion on the
means of radically curing it.,
" You will, no doubt, prove yourselves deserving
of this paternal consideration,' and your will 'feel the
value of the important mission which is confided to
your Far from regarding the Government under`
which you live, as a power of which you should be
suspiuious, your study will be to enlighten it, to co-
operate with it in-the good which it is preparing;
and by thus' manifesting that you have profited by,
the experience of all the French, you will prove that
you have-no wish to separate yourselves from other
classes of society.
- • .
" The laws which have been imposed upon per-
sons of your religion have been.different all over.the
Averld; they have been too often di fated by the exi--
gency of the moment. But, as thereis no example
ha the Christian Annals of any AsSembly like this,
so,. in like manner, you, for the first time, are to be
impartially judged, and your fate decided by a Chris-
"jail Prince. It is his Majesty'S wish that you should
become French ; it is your duty to accept this title,
and to consider that you, in,fact, renounce it, when-
ever you shew yourselves unworthy of-it.
You shall hear the questions read, which are to
be proposed to you. It-will be your-duty, to declare
.the whole truth upon each- of then. now de-
clare 'to you; .and we shall never cease' to repeat it
to you, that, 'When a sovereign, as firm, as he is just,
who knovi. every thing; whO 6ti punish as well as
rew:ard, interrogates his subjects,- they -would render
themselves-as culpable they would shew them-
selVOS blind to their real interests, if they should
hesitate about answering freely and -frankly.
It is his kijesty's wish, Gentlemen, .that you
should enjoy Perfeafreedom of deliberation. —Your
President will communicate your answers to us as
soon as they are prepared. As to ourselveS, we have
no more ardent wishes than to be able to intbrin the
Emperor, that aMong his subje&s of the. Jewish re-
ligion there are none whbse loyalty-is not unques-
tunlable, and 'wile are not disposed to conform to
-those laws and morals which it is the dury.of all
Frenchmen to'praCtice and follow." -
