Works in full adivity, and every thing in a state of
reparation for proceeding with the remaining eight

He stopped at Lig, whither Madame BONA-
PARTE had gone to lie, at the house of the Senator

On "Tuesday, at daybreak, the FIRST CONSUL

was there met by the Prefea of the Seine, and the
Engineer GERARD, who has the superintendance of
the works on the Canal.
The Canal n ill Afford sufficient water for such
Boats as are now used at L'Ourg ; these will come

o'clock: he was received at the Hotel-de-Vilk by
the Constituted Authorities.
Citizen GODARD, Sub.Prefea, acquainted him
that the Municipal Council of Meaux were of opi.
Ilion they could not better celebrate the passage of
the FIRST CONSUL through their city, than by
voting a monument to be erected in commemoration
of it, at the same tithe with that, decreed to Bos.
attar, the celebrated Bishop of Meaux, who died
about too years since.
At eight o'clock in the evening the FIRST CON.
SUL Set out on his return to Paris.

sels and Lostimiu, at the epoch of the journey of the
Piave CONSUL into the Belgic Departments, 'will

appears to be definitively fixed at is,ooo men, who,
as soon as the season permits, will be marched to
their destination.

The city of Passau was not evacuated, pursuant
Ito the Decree- on the rzth of this month. The
Imperial Garrison was on the point of removing,
When a Counter-Order was received, importing
that .the Austrians should remain (provisionally),
and that the Bavarian Troops destined to replace
them should halt at St. Nicholas, about half a league
from POSIall. General STRAUCH has, however,
diminished the garrison, several corps of which
have been sent to Schaerdiug, whence they are to ,
proceed to Lintz. Four companies of the Aus.
trian Troops remain in the city. It is reported
that this fluduation in the resolves of Austria,
is owing to a repeated declaration of the Court
of Munich, that it intends to retain possession
of the Bishopric of Eiebtert, until it shall have
been secure of an adequate indemnity ; in con.
sequence of which, the EMPEROR thought pro-
/ per to leave his troops at Passau until the Grand
Duke is put in possession of Eichstett, an event
soon expelled, after which, the final evacuation of
Paitall will take place.
MADRID, FEB: 6.—The King and Royal Family

their tour to Barcelona. As the suite of Their Ma-
jesties was very mtmerous, and all the appointments
of the Journey. on the highest scale of magnifi.
cenee, the expense' is estimated to exceed Fifteen
Millions of Piastres. Soon after his- arrival His
Majesty made a great number of Ecclesiastical and
Military promotions. It is asserted that a new
line of demarcation of the, frontiers between this
Country and France will soon take place, on which
occasion we exped that our Court will cede certain
portions of territory to the French Government.
According to Letters from Tripoli, the commer.
vial relations between that State and Europe are at
present very trifling, notwithstanding their ports are
no longer blocked up. The grand Caravan from Mo.
roeco to Mecca arrived at Tripoli the latter end of
December. This is the first that has been sent since
the French invasion •of Egypt. It is laden with
various sorts of gums, woollen stuffs, Moorish habits,

MAItcH 3.

A man of the name of PELTIER has been con_
clemned by the Tribunals of London, for having
Printed miserable Libels against the First Consul.
We cannot conceive why the English Ministry
should wish to give so much eclat to all this.
As.,the English Journals hare published, that it
Was on the demand of France, and even that the

Ambassador of France was present at the Trial, we
ate fully authorized to deny both these assertions,
'the First Consul not being apprized,of the existence
of these Libels, except by that procedure.
In the system of Eurer, all civilized Nations

hare reciprocally doties to fulfil, to which they
ought to pay so much the more respel, as the op-
posite system, which does not fail to have Partisans
in all Countries, tends to. nothing less than to throw
us into a state of barbarism and anarchy.
We can. therefore conceive how little interest
they can have in England, in supporting and au-
thorizing all the infamies which are vomited firth
by the Libellists of that Country, and less still in
proteding French Libellists, who had established
themselves during the war ; therefore the inutility
of this procedure of parade and ostentation is ap.

The Alien Bill gives to the Ministry the power
of sending Foreigners out of the Country, and
the Ministry have used it largely. More than
twenty Frenchmen domiciliated, and known, have
been sent from England without any further for-
mality. It is only a few days since, that Citizen
BONNECARRERE, Chief of Battalion of the Na-
tional Guard of Paris, having a Process at London,
and his wife being ill, received an order to quit the
Country in forty. eight hours.
We know of individuals established and domici-
liated for thirty years in London, who have not
long since been affeeled by this measure. Why
then amuse us by ostentatiously dragging before a
respeetable Tribunal, Foreign Malefaetors, such as
'always appear at the close of great political coin.
motions ? It suffices, that the Sub-Minister of
Lord PELHAM should seriously tell them to write
no more, and they will be silent ; and if they are
not, the Alien Bill gives the power of sending them
out of the Country.
The KING of ENGLAND owes to the respeEt due
to his Person, and to the Honour of his Nation, to
put an end at length to those outrages committed
upon a neighbouring Government and Nation with
whom he is at Peace, and to whom he sends AmbAs.

It must be admitted, however, that if this pro.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JA x.

ON the 26th of December, in the evening, an
Adjutant of General SruART, had a conference
with the Reis EFFEND r, and proposed, in the
name of the English Government, that the Porte
should grant a pardon to the Egyptian Beys, and
assign them a distant place in Upper Egypt for their
residence, where they should engage to live peace-
ably, and conduit themselves as faithful Subjeas
of the Porte.

several conferences, with the RE IS EFFENDI, and
the Negotiation was yesterday evening brought to
a conclusion, as Lord Et.o ix took his leave of the
GRAND Vtztatt. The Porte has, in fact, con..
trary to general expectation, granted a pardon to
the Beys, under the following conditions :
I. The Cavalry of the Mamelukes shall enter immeJi.ite-
ly into the service of the P,aCha of Cairo.
2. The Porte will assign to the six Insurgent Beys, the
little Town of Awan, in Upper Egypt, where they shall re-
side in peace, and subject to the Porte, without interfering,
in any manner, in the public atlairs and government of

that Ewa should be immediately evacuated, by the
English Troops, which would be conveyed from
