LONDON, MAY 19, 18oz.

LAST night we received the Paris Papers of the
vb.—They contain no news of importance ; the
Deputations' from the Legislative Body and the.
Tribunate waited on the Chief Consul on the r 4.rb.
The speech of CHABOT, who spoke for the Deputa-
tion from the latter Body, contains some very
wholesome advice in the shape of a predi4ion : The
whole of the Answer of the Chief Consul is not
given in the Monitcur.
The French Funds are at s6l. So c.

This day His MAJESTY held a Levee at St.
James's Palace, and in the evening Hutt NU-
J ESTY gives a grand Ball and Supper to the Royal
Family, and a numerous party of Nobility,,&c. at
Buckingham House.
The DUTCH ESS of YORK is returned from Bath, in
order to be present at the QUEEN'S Fete, to be given
this evening. The PR INC ESS Of WALES, and all tha
Branches of the ROYAL FAMILI will also be pre-
sent.

per rooms. The tables were laid out with peculiar
elegance ; abundance of frame.-work was introduced.
One hundred supped in the dining-parlour, forty in
the Duke's bed-chamber, thirty in the library, and
the same
.number-in the vestibule. Additional tables
were placed in the ball-room and the gallery for
one hundred more. The dances recommenced at

Lady HYDE PA!tisIRR gives a Route this evening
in Cumberland_place. _ , _

This day the two Regiments of City Militia
delivered their arms at Head Quarters, previous to
their being disembodied on Saturday next.
It i's customary, we believe, for the person hold-
ing the office of Lord Mayor at the conclusion 'of a
Peace, to be created A Baronet.

HALL PLUMER, Esq. of Belton Hall, means to
offer himself a Candidate for the City of York.
Yesterday the Lord Mayor ordered. the Bread to
continue at ninepence farthing the quartern loaf
wheaten, and sevenpence three farthings household.
Monday the Admiralty was crowded with several
hundred Navy Officers' .Widows, who attended to
be sworn as to their being widows, previous to their
receiving their pensions the ensuing pay day : and
what has been so long talked of is at length to take
place, namely, an augmentation of their pension of
201. a year, to 301.
It is supposed that an obscure Canon of Bastia,
named FE CE, the brother of Bo si AP ARTE 's mother,
will be m4de.: a Cardinal, by the interest of the
Chief Consul. •

Some important changes have suddenly taken
place at Paris amongst the Military. The real
cause seems wrapped in a mystery, not easily gene.
trated. General DELMAS was last week dismissed
the Army. Colonel FouRNIER was arrested, and
several other Officers were ordered to quit Paris.—
It is said Gen. DELMAS was banished to Montreuil
sur Mer, but that he had disappeared previous to
the Mandate reaching his house.
There can be little doubt of the French acqui-
sitions in America having the effect of drawing
,closer the bonds of amity between the United States
and this country. It will become the obvious policy
of. those States to cultivate the friendship of Great
Britain, nor will the temporary influence of Jaco_
binism in that country prevent this policy from
taking its proper effect.
If the French reinforcements for St. Dombtgo.are
delayed till the Autumn; we presume they will find
very few of their precursors alive, and they will just
have the business to begin anew.
It is now the general belief in Paris that the im-
mediate success of the St. Domingo Expedition is
hopeless. The gloomy silence of the Government,
with respect to the transadions in that Colony, is
certainly calculated to inspire no very satisfadory
speculations respecting the result.

Entrance into the Ports of France has been for-
bidden to all vessels coming from Oran and places
adjacent. The plague has suddenly manifested itself
in that part of Africa, and With such malignity that
it carries off in a few hours those attacked by it.
The Batavian Government are colleuing work-
men of all profes'sions, for the purpose of sending
them to the Cape of Good Hope. They are going
to erect hoth a Printing Press and a Theatre there.
Several Players have alreatry offered themselves ; a
proof that the profession of the Drama cannot be a.
very good one in Holland.
After the example of the Emperor, the Direaors
and Stockholders of the Russian Arnerican Company
have•;given to the Poor on; anti a half per Ceiit, of
