PARIS, Dec. 27.

It was upon false data that we inserted in our
Paper, a few days ago, an article, •in which it was
said that families in mourning, particularly the fa-
mily of a jeweller in rue St. Denis, claimed of
the public pity, relations, or friends, who had dis,
appeared from society without leaving'any. traces of
their being alive. More preciSe infOrmation au-
thorises us to contradict those relations, and we
hasten to remove tie disastrbus impressions which
they may have left upon the public mind.—(Gazette.
Ile France.) .
A letter from Port Louis, dated Dec. 20, ad-
dressed to the Commissary in Chief of. Powder and
Saltpetre at Nantes, says, that the_ persons trans-
ported by Admiral fiAcaoSsi from' Guadaloupe,
embarked on the preceding day on board a corvette
for Cayenne. •
ROME, DEC. 7.—The POPE,.to ensure .the pro-
gress of the Sciences and the instrudion of Youth,-
has ordered that the course 'Of study; which had
been suspended during. the Revolution, shall be re,
sumed;

French Troops arc continually returning to France
from Naples.
A hurricane had been experienced at Civita 'tree_
chia, so violent as to demolish somc'parapets of tl,e
fortress. Many buildings•have been destroyed by
the waters 9f the Terraciiro.

SEML I NOV B.—There is every reason to
believe that the Rebellion of PAsswAN Oot,c.rtr will
soon be completely suppressed: He can► no Jobger
receive, direttly or indircaly, any assistance from
Any Foreign Power. The Porte, no longer en-
gaged in foreign contest, can now employ almost
the whole of its force against him. He. had entlea_
youred to eire4 a reconciliation, and has made the
Mbs.t.a4vantageous proposals for that purpose
.to the
Hosiociar of Wallachia. His Troops arc constantly
'deserting him in great numbers.

EXTRACT OF• A LETTER FROM''NAPLES) DATED

10Th DECEMBER.

" A new Royal Edift proves that`` die Court .has
not changed its. system with respeet' to tVose, wh,,s
have been the Objeds.aits perkeutionsi. ft revives
in all its vigour a pretended ancientlliacir,- entitled
de- rahmento, by virtue of which every Neapolitan
Subjeel absent from the Kingdom- without: the -per-
misSion of the King, is obligedlo pay -an extraor.
Binary Duty. This. Duty fins been fixed for-the
`Genoese, and other Foreigners, who possess pro_
perty in the two Sicilies, at one-fourth of tyre Re
venue; arising from Personal Property, and one_
sixth. of that arising from Feudal Estates.. In the
presect instance it is carried much further, HIS
'MAJESTY having by the above Edia extended the
Duty de. Palimz-nto to the whole Revenue arising
fromevery description of Property, as follows :=
" In consequence, it, is ordered (under date'of the.
sth November), that all Neapolitan Subjeas who
shall be found absent from the Kingdom; and shall.
not returrr within forty days, shall be proceeded
tigainst, in -order that all their 'Property may be
sequestered, the Revenues of which shall be re.'
reeittreit for the benefit of the Royal. Treasury, be.
kittning from the Day of their ,absence'.?.
It is to -be remarked, that -.the,,terni of forty.
day's, dating from the publication-- of 1114 Ediet,
uiiif suffice for those Neapolitans to 'return who are
at.. Rome, but not for those who are in France-or.
`Germany. It is not the less remarkable, that a
retro-alive tired is given to this Edid, since many
Neapolitans, and amongst others, the Princes d'An.:
gri, De St,• Angelos-impe.riale, De Shorgoli, De
Torellan, the Dukes De Riario and De Monteleone,
and- the Dutchess De Capracolla, especially named
in the Royal Edia,. pre-absent with permission. 'The
COur(forcedby the Treaty of Peace to render back
seques-tered property, has been approprielting to its.
own use, the Revenues received from .such.prciperty;:
during the time of theirsecitestration. .0y this new -
L:v trtcre is a pretence for -making newilsequestra'.l
The Court knows well; that the BioprietOrs
who-ivill be affefted by this Edita,. had rather be
ruined than return.
