The journey of the FE R CoNscrt. into-the nine
departments of Belzium is determined -upon, mid
will take place sooner than was expetqed. The young
men of the different towns through which he is to
pass, are forming themselves into military "compa
nics, to receive hint with due distinCtion.

We have received intelligence that the EMPEROR
ratified, on the sth instant, the Convention con-
cluded on the 25th of December, relative to the
Supplementary Indemnities to the GRAND DUKE.
The exchange of the Ratifications is to take glace at
Paris.

Bezxs, JAN. r3.—The Courier from Paris who
arrived yesterday, brought us the Constitution of
our Canton decreed by the Deputies, and approved
of by the FIRST CONSUL. The Canton is divided
into distrjtts, and the distrias into tribes. The
Citizens of the Canton, enjoying a fdrtune of zOOO f.
have alone the right of voting. Each tribe names
an .Elettor out of fifty Citizens. The union of
those EleCtors forms the Electoral Body of the Can.
ton, which names the Grand Council, composed of
two hundred and ninety.nine Members. It is to
that Council that the Legislative power it confided.
It appoints to all places. .Twe.nty.seVen 'of
rits
Members form the Petty Council, from' which are
to be taken two Avoyers, a Treasurer, at a Chan-
cellor, who form, with the two oldeit and the two
youngest Counsellors, the Executive Committee.
The Grand Council appoints froth among its Mem.
bers those who are to form a Tribunal of Civil
Appeal, and a Criminal Tribunal.
The same letters announce, that the Cantonal or,
ganizations of Basle, Fribourg, Loriiro, and So-
lemn., are also completed ; and.that they resemble
those of Zurich and Berme. The most remark.
able difference between the old andnew Constitu.
tion of the Cantons, fortnerly aristocratical, is the
Political Equality between all the Citizens who corn. -
pose them, the applicatioh rf which i to,be fOund:
chicly in the composition of the Elettoral.Bodies.

The provision by which the exercise of the admi.
nistrattve and that of the judicial power are conftdea
to the same body, has excited many remonstrance,.
It is supposed, that provision will be changed.
We learn further, that time establishment of a Ge-
neral Helvetic Diet, to assemble once a year, and to
consist done Deputy from each Canton, is agreed
upon. To establish a certain equality among the
different Cantons, the Deputies of the greater Can..
tons are to have different voices in proportion, re.
speaively, to their population. The meetings of the
General Diet will he' in turns, at Zurich, Berne,
Both, Soleure, Friburgb, and Lucerne. The De-
puty for the place at which the Di:t meets, will be
Presidunt for the time being.

HAGUE, JAN. zs.

ON the t9th inst. Citizen SEMONVILLE, Ambas.
sador from the French Republic, presented to out
Government, in the name of that. of France, a *Note
of Remonstrance against the propuied conversion of
the Financial Reseriptions, payable eight, atooiL
after the Peace, into perpetual Annuities. 'l hr
...,,Frem*Cioyermeritdisapproves the me414045-errecd•
ingly,..and insists that the Batavian Government
shaSl fulfilits engagethents to the holders of the: Re.
scriptions.. The Batavian Ambassador, at Paris,
had, before this measure was publicly proposed, sept
notice, that it would not be dissatislattory to the
French Government. The Frenen Direttory, when
in power, had taken two millions of those Rescrip.
tions at 25 per cent, -.Those have been lately with.
drawn, and sold on the. Exchange at Amsterdam.
Having lain for sortie years in the desk, they were
particularly known when produced, by the freshness
of the paper.

It is understood, that Mr. Vos had made some
mistake in regard to the answer of the French Mi-
saister. The Rescriptions are now rising in value.
They have been sold, since the Note was presented,
at from 66 to 67 per Cent.—The House of 13osxti,
at Amsterdam, had orders (on the very. day on
which the Note was presented),- from the House of
Vorr.ora-Hozyk's and Co. at Paris, to make
purchases of this Stock to a large amount. lt is
pretty well known for ,w 1.40 persons in Paris those
purchases were made.

We have information from Brussels, that all the
Detni-brigades of the French Infantry, both Light
Infantry and Troops of the Line, are to be com-
pleted to the number of zSoo men each, by a Con-
uripion. The Regiments of Cavalry and Dragoons
are to be raised each to boo men : the Horse Chas_
sears, and Hussar Regiments, to 800 men each.
The Corps of Cavalry and Infantry of the FIRST
Cowsut's Guard will also be, reinforced with an
addition of 600 men. There is a great adivity of
manufadure now going on in the cannon founderies,
and the Arsenals at Douai, Metz, and Strasburgh.
The Minister of War has given orders in all the
Belgic Departments, to raise as many Recruits as
possible for the Colonies.
