WE yesterday received Paris journals cf the
Igth and zoth, and this morning those of the z Ist
came to hand.

By the Mon;tesir of the zest, we learn that a
Treaty has been concluded between the French Re-
public and the DUKE of WIRTEMBERO. Ad-
dresses have already been presented to the Con.
suls from the Inhabitants of several Distriets, re.
spelling the appointment of BONAPARTE Clief
Consul for life. Their consent to the proposal is
conveyed in the same strain of unbounded adulation,
which has charaaerized most of the late Addresses
in France. Ihe Citizens of Soissons request, that
they may be excused from the tedious process of
giving their votes upon this question ; and beg to
be led forth into the Champ de Mars, that they may
give their assent to the proposition by acclamation.
A very long and animated discussion has taken
place in the Tribunate upon the question of the
formation of a Legion of Honour : it was strongly
opposed by SA.VOYE ROLLIN, and by CHAUVELI;
the proposal was, however, at last adopted by a
majority of r$ : the numbers were in favour of it
56—against it 38 ; in the Legislative Body it Was
carried by z 66 ry tic,.

The projet for continuin the Slavery of the
Blacks has also been adopted by a majority of 54

co 27.

A Telegraphic dispatch from Brest dated the
19tli inst. states, that dispatches have been brorght
by the Fidde, from St. Domingo, which brings
favourable intelligence. The Telegraphic dispatch
is as follows : Admiral VILLATET has sailed.—
The news from St. Domingo is good :—the Head-
quarters are at Fort Republicain—TOUSSAlNT is
closely pursued—the Squadron from Flushing and
Havre de Grace had arrived—the Army had but
few sick."

A long Speech delivered in the Legislative Body
by DARU, discloses the principles on which the
new mode of recruiting. the Army is to be executed.
Conscription is the basis on which it is to proceed.
The justice and utility of this mode is defended by
many specious arguments, and the inefficacy of vo_
luntary Inrohnent demonstrated. Proceeding upon
the supposition, that every man is bound to take
arms at the call of his Country, all the Citizens
between the age of sixteen and forty are in-
rolled, and out of these, the Levies necessary
to recruit the Army, are to be drawn by lot.
The Standing Army of France thus becomes corn-
pletely a Militia, the principles of which will be
found nearly to correspond with that of England.
It is to be observed, however, that in the event of
a War, the plan of conscription is also to be cm.
ployed ; and by this means it is expeded that there
will be procured soldiers more robust, more tem-
perate, :Incl. more attached to their Country than
those debauched dregs of the great towns •umally
_picked up by Recruiting Serjeants, The num= of
those lit to hear arms between the age of 16 aid 40,
is calculated to amount to.six millions; those from
20 to 25, to one million ; and those from za to 21,
to two hundred thousand. In times of Peace the
(ley levies are b: nude froth :he utter

class, and the first is reserved for emerencies.
The Arnw on the Peace Establishment is to consist
of 300,000 men; ,of which 38,000 will be com-
posed of Officers and Veterans, who are not raised
by conscription. There remains therefore the
number of 262,000, to he provided for.—The
whole of this number is to be renewed every
five years, 5z,4.00 men being each year discharged,
and an equal number raised out of those from 20 to
2r. The proportion for each distrit is not to be
fixed solely according to the population, but re-
.
!pea is also to be-had to the habits of the people,
whiCh are most robust, and which are most war-
like. From hence it follows,. that a much greater
proportion is to be levied in the country than in the
towns, and in the Northern Departments than the
Southern.

The French Funds are at 56 fr, so cents.

This morning arrived the Hamburg", and Dutch
Mails. By a Letter from Stuttgard of the 6th inst.
it appears that the greatest joy prevailed on account
of the Signature of a Treaty with the French Re-
public.

A Mail from Jamaica reached Town this morn.
ing, brought to Falmouth by the Chesterfield Packet
in forty days. By her we learn, that very un-
favourable accounts were circulated at Jamaica re-
speCting the state of the French Army in St. Domin-
go. The Climate, and the harassing kind of war-
fare carried on by the Blacks, had greatly reduced
the French Force, and unless speedy and large Re-
inforcements arrived, the success of the Expedition
seemed hopeless. This account, we sees is at com-
plete variance with the Telegraphic Dispatch in the
French Papers from Brest ; but we can now pretty
well appreciate accounts so received.,

A Board was held this day at Chelsea Hospital,
for the purpose of admitting In and Out Pensioners
of that Hospital, the men who have been discharged
from the Guards, the Regiments of the Line, the
Fencibles, and Militia, since the last Board.

Saturday morning the two Regiments of London
'Militia were drawn up in the Artillery Ground,
and disbanded.

Six Regiments are immediately to be sent to Ire-
land to re-place the liencible and Militia Corps
about to be reduced. The two Battalions of the
zoth Regiment, two. Battalions of the 4.oth, 17th,
and 36th from the Mediterranean, are appointed to
this service.

The General Assembly of the Church of Scot-
land, met at Edinburgh on Thursday last, and was
opened by the Right Hon. Lord NAPIER, His Ma-
jesty's Commissioner.
x. 'loop of War, which
arrived at Portsmouth on Monday last, from Mat-,
unique, brought intelligence of a very unpleasant
nature. That spirit of discontent which broke out
last winter in the Fleet at Bantry Bay, has, it is
said, again manifested itself in some of the ships
under the command of Admiral CAMPnEt,L, in the
Wet Indies ; but has been successfully opposed by
the same loyalty and firmness which has or, former
'occasions ditinguished the Officers of the Navy and
Marines ; and the consequence is, that eighty of-
fenders are now in irons on board the different ships
in Admiral Ce,htp.a EL L's Fleet. •

A dispatch overland has just arrived trom Bengal,
which brings intelligence, that the province of
Oude being taken into the hands of the Hon. Com-
pany, Marquis WELLESLEY'S brother is appointed
Deputy Governor, with Messrs. MATHEW, LESL I r.,
and SETON under him. The Nabob is pensioned.
The- Marquis -WELLESLEY is expeeied to pro.
ceed to trrope, immediately on his return from
Lucknow, without resuming his fundions at the
seat of Government. Mr. BARLOW who was
appointed successor to his Lordship in case of death
or sudden return, will, of course, exercise the duties
of the high office till the appointment is settled at
home.

Mr. BURROUGHS, the Company's Advocate
General in Bengal, has arrived in England, having
come over land, via Egypt. -
Orders hate been sent out to Bengal for the im-
mediate redudion of the Marquis WEVLESLEY'S
Body Guard.

We are glad to find, from the Gazette of Satur.
day, that Government pays stria attention to the
services of the gallant Army they so well deserve,
by rewarding Major. General COOT E with the Most
Honourable Order of the Bath. It is rendered more
valuable, as it is the fourth that was evgr given as
an additional one.

General GRINFIELD has been appointed Com-
mander in Chief of the West Indies ; an office of
high importance at the present period, and of much
emolument. He is preparing for his departure. A
very large military establishment will be kept up
there for a considerable time.

\\r are assured that Lord BELGRAVE did.not de-
liver any message from Mr. PITT on the subject of
the Statue at the Meeting of the Subscribers at
Lloyd's Coffeehouse, as asserted in the Morning
Chronicle of Friday last.
Letters: froth Dublin state, that an Address
has been unanimously voted by the Corporation of
that city, to the Right Hon. CH. An cyr, expres-
sive of the ..sense entertained in chat Country, of
the character, abilities, and conduct of the present
Speaker of the House of Commons, Such genuine
and uninfluenced expressions of esteem for the con.
duct of public men in high confidential situations,
is the most honourable testimonial of their merit,
and the strongest incitement to men in high official
stations, which has procured for Mr. ABBOT the
admiration And gratitude of the Citizens of Dublin,
