PARIS, j&Nr 3.

irHE English journals of the 28th of May have
arrived here; they are full of tragical event-s.—
According to thein General BE Rig? ER has been
killed in a duel 1 an Aid.de-Camp of the First
Consul has been killed on the parade ; the First
Consul has been dangerously wounded ;—in fine,
they dream of nothing but assassinations and divi-
sions among the principal Citizens of the Republic.

Two Chasse-marees have imported into Morbi_
ban, letters of the ci-devant Bishop of St. PAUL
DE LEON and the ci-devant Bishop of NoroN,
against the Concordat, the Republic, and the Pope.
The ci_devant Archbishop of MONTPELLIER has
printed a long letter to the Pope, to prove that
rather than follow his apostolic example, it was
proper for him to prefer the convenient retreat he
found in England, and to profit by the considerable
fortune which be enjoys from his nephew, whom he
had the dexterity to persuade five and twenty years
ago, to renounce the Catholic Religion in order that
he might be capable of enjoying possessions and dig-
nities in Ireland.

Other Vessels have inundated Brittany with a
vast number of hand bills in the Jacobin style,
in which the most moderate epithet bestowed on
the First Consul, is that of Poisoner. These hand_
bills have been addressed to several individuals,
having on them the postmarks of St. Malo, Dinan,
and St. Serval).
At a dinner to which Citizen OTTo had been in-
vited, and at which the heir of the English Monar-
chy was present, the son of Egalite was among the
guests, and bore on that occasion the insignia of
the Bourbons.

A condua so opposite to the Articles of the
Treaty of Peace, to the declarations of the Mini-
sterial Journals, to the consequence which every
Government ought to attach to its conduct, cdnnot
be explained but by the existence of Parties and
faCtions who ad in opposition to each ofh►t:r.

Let the speech of Citizen GALLOIS be compared
with those of Messrs. WI NDH AM and GRENVI L L ;
let the prudent and well regulated tone of the French
writers, be compared with the furious, disgusting,
and ill-designed tone of a great number of the En-
glish papers, and it will be observed that the one
express the sentiments of a people who love, and
who wish for Peace, who endeavour to second the
intentions of their Government, and that the other
second a party hostile to the peace of the world,
to the most simple alliances.

THE MINISTER OF POLICE TO THE PREFECTS.
Paris, May 39.
Reports of every sort are circulating. Although accus-
tomed to thoSe productions of malevolence and folly,. still
people permit themselves to be deceived by them. I consi-
der it, therefore, my duty, Citizen Prefed, to put you on
your guard againn those rumours, by which it is endeavoured
to.agitar the Departments : Paris is tranquil, and cannot
be agitated.
No plot has threatened, or now threatens the life of the
First Consul ; he is in no danger, except from his excessive
labours and attention to the interest of the Republic Soot
libellers may, for a moment, circulate their gross falsehoods,
in the shade in whicli they suppose themselves con,ealecl ;
but public indignation and contempt will pitnisk them,
erica before the Police shall talc cognizance ofthern.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM FARIS, JUNE 2.

"Some changes are likely to take place immediate_
ly in the Department of the Minister of the Inte-
rior. Citizen CEIAPTAL will retire, and his talents
will be consecrated to the duties of a Senator only.
Many are soliciting the appointment to the Mi-
nistry, which has attached to it the most extensive
patronage. The Arts and Artists are under its
immzdiate protation.

" A person possessing some considerable property
in St. Ikmingo, has lately presented to the A/he/J(le
de; Arts, a quantity of Cochineal Syl'vestre, which
is the produce of his own estate, and which affords
as fine a dye as the Mexican insea. Many experi-
ments have proved it to be of equal excellence in
every respell, and the Atlienie des Arts have re-
solved (at the request of the donor) to prepare two
yards of scarlet cloth with this Cochineal, and to
present them to the First Consul, as a proof that the
island of St.,Damingo may, independent of its Su_
gars and Coffee, become a source of considerable
advantage to the Mother Country. The Revenues
received no less than i 8 millions of livres duty upon
Cochineal before the War.

" The new Theatre at Malmaison is to be opened
to.morrow night, with the Italian Opera, La Serva
Padronaa—The FIRST CONSUL, has ordered almost
all the Company from the Italian Theatre to per-
form, and the elegance of the whole arrangement
for the evening is much spoken of.
"Lord WHITWORTH'S arrival is very anxiously
looked for by the English, who still experience much
inconvenience and delay, respeeting their Passports
to leave Paris: they are seldom procurable without
many days, and sometimes even weeks solicitation
and attendance, at the Prefecture de la Police.

" The public mind is almost asleep as to the Elec-
tion of the Ft RST CONSU is a thing which will
be effe6ted of course, though a very considerable
number of Citizens have declined giving any vote
whatever.--No one has manifested a Negative in
writing.

" The Family remain at Malmaison.
" The number of English arrivals increase, but
the visits of our Countrymen, are like those of per-
turbed spirits, they glide into this great Capital,—
flit about fora moment, and glide out at the opposite
gate.—Switzeriand seems to be the chief objed of
many travellers.
" M. D•Exotr's great work, Travels in Egypt,
is at length about making its appearance—however
famed for elegance may be M. Di DoT's Printing, he
is not a whit more expeditious than any other of the
Inky Tribe :—indeed many other Printers may be
found at Paris who work equally

The rain yesterday spoiled the beauty or the
Promenade in Kensington-Gardens, which in gene..
rid is extremely brilliant the Sunday after the
Birth. day.

Maclaine PAR ISOT is arrived at Paris, her health
considerably Unproved by the journey.
VESTRIS, the celebrated dancer, will certainly
not visit this Country until the next Season,
