SECOND =EDITION.

SUN:-OFFICE,
HALF FAST TWO O'CLOCK, P. M.

WE have just received Paris Papers to the 18th
inst. They are uncommonly barren of intelligence.
They contain no Observations whatever upon the
change of 'Admlnistratton in this Country.- In
commenting upon the Treaties which were laid be.,
fore the British Parliament, and upon the objetid
of, the Coalition, the 1119niteur has a long Note, of •
which the following is the conclusion

" 'Whether
.4liere was any great ability in the
British Cabinet and its Agents, in giving some con»
sistence to such illusions, we will not decide. But
whatever may be the hatred of England, or the
influence it may have. in exciting cupidity- and
jealousy, France. wil still prosper the more, and the ,
"French Empire, resting on its one hundred and eight
Departments, and on its Federative States, will be
full of vigour and youth, whilst Great Britain
perish of decripitude and consumption.
" The influence of, the French Empire cn the
Continent will establish the happiness of Europe;
it is that which will give a commencement to the
era of civilization, of science,
.intelligene, and
law."

STUTGARDT, Fan. g.—lntelligence has been re-
ceived that the numerous Austrian Prisoners who
are in France, have received, permission to re-
turn home. Several of the Austrian Generals
who were compelled to surrender to the French, rre 7
under arrest. It is said, that they have brought the
most serious charges against-General Mn.cx, whose
fate will probably be soon decided ...Lipp, It Ls:said
that the City of Frankfort, and all that part of the
Landgraviate of Darmstadt, situated on the Left
sank of the Mein, will be added to
.the Dominion&
of the Ele6tor of BADEN, and that 11,1:indgrave of
Darmstadt will be indemnified -in:Westaphalia;
thai the Electoral Prince, of BADEN will reside in
future at Manheim ; that he Will marry a French -
Princess ; and that, upon his accesion to the Go.
vernment he will take the title of Kitto'.

AII :RICA.

NEW-YORK, JAN. 10.--,From a Boston Paper of
Saturday, received yesterday, we copy.the following
interesting article. There seems no reason to douhl
,of its truth, and therefore we have the satisfitetion tp
believe that .our differences with, Spain will all be
amicably and honourably settled.'
We are indebted to Mr. EZRA *DANIS, of this
town, fortfre-foliesving, highly important and very
,agreeable information. Mf. DAVIS left the Vit4e-
yard,on Wednesday evening the Ist instant,.
says; that all our differences with the Spanish Go.
vernment were amicably settled t 6 Mr. ,Prs:cr.NEles
entire satisfaCtiOn. This, most pleasing intelligence-
was brought to the Vineyard .by the Ship Resole.
firm, Capt. DANIEL RODGE4S, of Gloucester, Cape
Ann, who left Lisbon the kith of November last,
and arrived at the. Vineyard after a 'passage of forty
days. Mr. DAVIS took the precaution to make his
minutes from the verbal communication of the. cap•
tamp at the Moment of his arrival. Capt. ItoncEss
frequently saw Mr. PINCKNEY at Lisbon, who had
sailed five days before Capt. R. left that place, in a
• Swedish vessel bound for Charleston, • South env-
lina. Mr. PiNCKNI-f told Captain R. that the Spar.
nish Court had agreed to pay for all ships, cargoel,
and freights, according to their late stipulations with
the ArrietiCao Go4rntnent. It is understood also,
that our territorial disputes with Spain are happily
• settled; and, that the general aspect of our diploma-
tic concerns in that quarter was a4picious and fiat•
tering in a high degree. The Vessel was bound to
Gloucester, and the news cannot, _therefore, be re
ceived from her directly, for many days.

The subje& which has recently occupied the se-:
cret Sittings of both Houses of Congress for several
days now appears. A Message trona the President
of the United States, transmitting Documents and
Papers relative to complaints by the Government of
France, against the commerce carried on by •the
American Citizens to the French Island of St. Do:
Mingo, has given them all enough to do.
This commtinication contains two. Notes from M.
TALLEYRP.ND to General ARMSTRONG, dated in
August last, in which the french Premier iemon-
sirates in strong language against the trade carried on
between Ilie?es States and the Empire of Hayti,
alias St. Domingo; and • two Notes 'froth l'Uk-
BEAU, the.Freneh Plenipotentiary in this Country,
to the Secretary of Stale, enforcing the request of
an immediate interdidion! of all commercial inter-
course between the United States and the ellel
Colony of St. Domingo.
