FRENCH P4PERS.

PARIS, DEC,F,MBER
The Tribunal of correctional,police had eondernne.l
to five years imprisonment; 5000 fr. 'fine, and to the
loss of civil rights for five years, Sieurs Augnis, lite•
rary man ; Ferra, sen. bookseller, in Paris ; Mare-
Roguin, printer, at Mertaign ; and noulli, foreman
of the latter, for publishing an anonymmis and qefa-
mitory libel. They appealed from this sentence ;
and the Attorney-General al,o appealed from the
same sentence which condemn :11 another bookseller
of the name of Rousseau, to only 101 r. fine. The
appeal was heard at great length by the Royal Court,!,
in their sittings of the.26th and 27th, and yesterday
the Court pronounced their decree confirming the,
sentence of the first Judges. The bookseller Dent's',
fined in 10 francs by a fcrmer judgment, has been
entirely acquitted.
The posts and patroles of the national guards have
received orders for seine slays past to stop and search
all such hackney-coaches driving about alter a certain
hour of the night, as they may deem proper.
The Council General of the Bank has fixed the last
half year's dividend. for 1814., at 30 francs per share.
One of our Correspondents writes us, that within
the last few days there has been seen in the forest of
Galines, near Valencas, a woman (la gigantic sta-
ture and an agreeable countenance, absolutely naked,
and covered by her hair, which is estraordisiarily
long. This woman, who was supposed to he mad,
did not articulate any word, and test►fied much fear.
Inquiries are making concerning her.

VIENNA, DECEMBER te.
Ti was reported yesterday, that the Emperor of
`Austria has given orders for disbanding the landerehr,
and reducing the army to the peace foaling.
The departure of the Sovereigns is thought to Abe
neater than was lately erpecteJ. Theban Hill; hotise
of Fries, which conducts most of their pecw,iary
transactions, has, within these few days, purchased
a.great deal of specie. It is certain that the horses
and equipage of the King of Wurtemberg have
already set off. .
It is remarked that Prince Talleyrund omits no op.
portuusity of speaking with the highest eulogy and
greatest respect of the memory of Prince Kaunitz.—
This is flattering, to the Austrians, for that name is
connected in their history with glorious recollections.
'lt is said that in a late conference, the French K-

Inister,quoted the ,authority of Prince Kattnitz, who,
was in the constant habit of designating Russia as a
IPower to whom it was nbsolutely necessary t. oppose
a counterpoise; besides, she•had aggiandised herself
beyond all proportion with the uther.Eumpean Powers.
M. Talleytand pays hr.:nage to the wisdom, modera-
tion, and all the virues ut the Emperor Alertnder.
`Ant Will Russia always bate the happiness to be go-
verned by a Prince thus master of himself, and has
Europe no reason to fed alarm for the furore? Prussia
I is under the intiJcnce of Russia; and Prince Kattnitt
thought that France and Austria could alone oppose
a barrier to the preponderance of the. North.

THE I'itINCEB Ub THE 4ECOND ORDER.

"The undersigned Cabinet Minister and First Plecipotentiary,
of his Majesty the King of Great 13ritaiu and Hanover to the
Congress of Vicuna, has had the honour to receive the letter
which the Plenipotentiaries of several Courts of Germany, ac-
companied with ice Nile addressed by them to the Courts of
Vienna and Berlin, fur the purpose of being transmit ed to his
Royal Highness the Prince Regent of Great Briusin and Hanover.
He takes the liberty on this occasion to express to their Excel-
lencies, the sincere gratitude which he feels tar the flattering con
fidence with which they have proposed to him to present, in the
name of their Courts, the wish for the Restoration of the Impe-
nal Dignity in Germany, to the Coatunitiee engaged upon the
piau at the new act of the German Conf‘deratien. The under-
signed feels the same thorough conviction, that the most proper
method of accomplishing a satisfactory union of all the German

LON DON.

MONDAY, JANUARY 2, 131 5.

Since Saturday we have received Paris Parrs of
Thursday last. It is impossible almobt to conceive
any thing more contradictory than the accounts horn
Vienna: we have giveit the articles,• and must leave
our Readers to judge for themselves. Much bustle
prevails in Italy : Austrian and Neapolitau tioti;;; are
daily marching and countermarching, but for what
purpose is not distinctly made known.
The Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday was prin.
cipally occupied in beating reports on various Pe-
titions.

M. GOIMLAY read a report on a petition from a
number of ecclesiastics, describing their miserable si-
tuation, 'and praying an increase of salary. The Com.
mittee, however, had learned that Government meant
to take some measures on the subject, and therefore
proposed to pass to the order of the day.
M. DUDIOLARD thought this motion harsh and
painful. The destitute state of the inferior clergy,
who bore all the burden and heat of the day, ought
to excite the interest of the Chamber. • 'They should
no: be enriches, but placed above want—enabled to
pave alms, not to ask them. The petitioi: should be
seat to Government, with a recom:nendation to its
attention.

Other Members, however, thought that as Govern-
ment had already taken measures on the subject, the
most proper proceeding was to p.sss to the order of
tile day ; which was agreed to.

M. SARTNION reported on a remonstrance from the
Members of the Council General of Are-Ville, De-
partment of the Upper Rhine. They set foi th, that
though trodden down by the passing of the allied :tr.
mies, exhausted by contributions and losses of every
kind, the fruits of war, they were still at that mo-
ment tormented by agents, charged with the levying
of contributions, endeavouring to recover the cuntri.
bution of 500,000 fr. imposed upon them by the BA-
varian army. The committee (said M. Sartelon),
was so astonished at the facts detailed in this petition
I that they could not have credited them, were not
the document authenticated by the signature of
the Members of the Council of Department, and sup.
ported by other evidence. The Committee could not
imagine that the Minister of Finance, after soiletnnly,
