LONDON, NOVEMBER z 2, ISoT.

WE this morning received Paris Papers to the
9th instant. They are wholly barren of intelligence.
The Marquis COIiNWALL Is. was expdted to arrive
at Paris on Saturday last.

On Friday last the Chief Consul gave audience to
all the Foreign Ambassadors at Paris.
By an Aa of the-Government, of the 7th instant,
Citizens PORTAL'S and RCEDERER th:!.. younger,
are attached to the Legation of the French Republic
for the Negotiation of the Treaty at the Congress
at Amiens.

An article from Tier;ff, of Oa., 28, states the. ar-
rival there of the English General Prc,or, who was
on his route from - Malta to England, through

France.

On the 7th, the French Tiers Cons. was at 58.

THE Handuirgh Mad .due, on Sunday arrived
this morning. It brings a Perlin article, from
which Capital we still continue to hear of the
difficulties' that stand in , the way of the final
arrangement_ on .the 'subjeft, of the Indemnities.
Some latitude of speculation on this
.subjeCt inust.be
allowed to the
.continental Newsmougers, as they
are now deprived of all culler__..2x,rnigemciit.:--Cux-
havers was immediately to. be evacuated by the

• The -HEREDITARY PRINCE of DENMARK has
t..ad an apopletlic stroke.

It is mentioned, that yesterday Mr. ADD iNGTON,
in the course of conversation with the Committee of
Gentlemen holding Exchequer Bills, stated that
Government had the satisfaction of receiving that
day Dispatches from Marquis CottriwAws, at
Paris, announcing that the CH LEE CONSUL had. de-
clared his willingness to acquiesce in the wishes of
this Country respeCting the integrity and interests
of Portugal, so that the condirioiyi extorted by
France will not be insisted upon.

It is said, that I--hp-RY ALEXANDER, Esq. Mem_.
ber for Derry, will be appointed to succeed Mr.
BRAGCE, as Chairman of the Committee of Ways
and Means, in the House of Commons. This Gen-
tleman very ably filled the same, situation in the
House of Commons of Ireland, previous to the
Union.

- .
Colonel ABERCRO.MBY • has brought home with
him most accurate returns, not only of all the killed
and wounded, but of all the sick of the Army.
It is .highly satisfadory to know, that out of
24,000 men, British, Turks, and others who have
come under the care of our Medical Staff, only 1700
have died, including those who have suffered as well i
by 4ickness as gunshot wounds. It is likewise cu-
rious, as well as important to be known, upon the
best authority, that out of 400 British Soldiers who
were infeded with the plague, not much above 100
died. The returns from the Army of Egypt, we
hope, will be laid in some official form before the
Public. •
