FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS.

GENOA, MARen 26.—A Corvette has been go,
in readines here; and exertions are using to enlist
sailors for the French service in pursuance of the
Convention recently concluded. This enlistment
has been the cause of a trifling tumult in a village,
not far from hence ; as the rebellious, however;
merely consisted of the fair sex, who, on these sc.
capons, are not much to be feared, peace and trans.
qttillity were soon• restored. Notwithstanding the
allowance to be made for the feelings 'of :women,
about to lose their husbands, it has been deemed
expedient to fine the village as,ooo litres, and to
sand 200 men there to guard against similar irre.
golarities.
