FRENCH PAPERS.

PARIS, AUGUST SI. •
Fe are assured that the debates in the Chamber
of Peers on the Liberty of the Press, will terminate
to-morrow ; and that the project of the King will be
put to the vote. •
The Marquis de Martel, Viscount St. Pardnuh,
and the Marqpis -de FrLyne, have been appointed
Equerries to his M ipsty.
In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, on the
Slst of August, M. Jalabtrt observed, that Bona-
parte, with all his power, his public, private, and ex-
.traordinary domains, could not have tealized a loan.
It was necessary to renounce his system. He then
proposed certain amendments to the articles under ds-
cussion. The most remarkable of these was the di-

minution of the interest to eight per cent. and his
propostinn for placing the funds in a state of liqui-
dation.— His speech was ordered to be printed.
SEPTEMBER 1.--CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.
In the sitting of August 31, and as the Members
were discussing the project of law relative to finances,
the Abbe de Montesquiou being introduced, presen-
ted the project of the law adopted by the Chamber of
Peers relative to naturaFaatiou. The chief features
of this law are thelollowing :
Ist. All the inhabitants of the Departments which
'had been united to. France since 1791, and which, in
c msequence, settled on the present French territory.
and have remained there undisturbed for a period of
-ten years, and since the age of twenty-one, shall be
considered as having made the declaration required
by Article 3 of the law of the 2t'd Frimaire, year
8, provided they declare, within three months, their
inuntion to remain in France, when they will obtain
letters of naturalization.

2dly, Those who have not yet resided in France
may acquire the rights of French citizens from the
day of their residence; provided they make the above
declaration within the same period.
idly, As to individoste Isere* mid still residing 7rm
the Departments, which, 7.lter having formed part
of France, were divided from it by the last Treaty,'
they may be allowed to settle in the kingdom and
enjoy civil rights, but not those of French citizens,
until they have made the declaration required, and
tuffi led the conditions prescribed by the law of the
Frimaire, year 8.
The debate on the Budget was then resumed, and
tter 'some observations from Mess's. Duhamel, Dr
Sans, Bouchard, and Jalabert, the Minister of Fi-
•nances ascended the Tribune, and commented
speech, which he interrupted at a quarter atter five,
on the invitation of the President, intending to resume
it in to-morrow's sitting.
VIENNA, AUGUST 20.
Never was our Chancery so busily engaged.—
Every day fresh couriers arrive with important do-
patches from the different powers, in which delibera-
tion is necessary. Our Court is literally become t
centre of European negotiation, and in conseqiience,
the Prince of Metternich and his whole establishment
labour night and thy at the correspondence.
On the 17th the Minister for Foreign Affairs re-
paired to Lubarreck, in Upper Austria, in order to
communicate to the Emperor divers overtures whicl.
have been made to our Cabinet, respecting which a
decision was requested previous to the opinion of,
Cougress. The negociations'with some Ministers are
'actually begun, but preparative to the general dis-
cussions. What has transpired proves that the great
powers are tar from being agreed as to certain essen-
tial points.
It appears our Court views with jealousy the pro-
jected aggrandisement of Prussia. The independence
of Sax. my is regarded as indispensable for the secu
rity of Bohemia; and the Paiute Anthony, brother-
inslaw of our Emperor, the next in succession to the
Crown of Saxony, will not easily submit to a desti-
tution of his rights. We were unwilling to see Prus-
sia crushed by France, .bat are not desirous of seeing
it an alarmingly formidable Power. On the other
hand, Prussia reproaches us with still retaining our
conquests, and endeavouring to aggrandize ourselves
on the side of Italy.
Nothing is immediately said either of Russia or of
France, but • these Powers cannot remain indiferent
to the projected arrangements in Germany; and
England, as a Continental Power, will take a very
active part. Thus a ground presents itself for warm
and protracted discussions.
The attention of our Government is sedulously
turned to an amelioration of our finance system.—
Our object is to diminish the mass of paper currency,
and it is said to be in agitation to transmit to the
Mint a portion of the church plate.
Madame Bacciochi, sister to Bonaparte, after pass-
ing some time at Gratz, has set out for 'Trieste,
whence she embarks for Naples. M. Jerome accom-
panies her to Trieste, but will return to his estate
which he has purchased, near Gratz.
Our intelligence from the Levant states, that the
ravages of the plague arc dithinished at Smyrna and
the adjoining coasts, but its symptoms are very pre.
valebt in Boss ia and Sterna. •

FROM THE LOWER RHINE, AUGUST 2.5.
Some papers having affirmed *that the Pope had
given to Lucien Bonaparte the title of. Prince, an Ent►.
lish Paper expresses itself with some warmth ot this
.6 as an affreist to the whole world." It would have
been ev well•ve-henes• examined the truth of this re.
port, which we can affirm to be untound.4
Holiness has not given to Lucien the title of Prince.
Lucien has indeed purchased estates in the Rom in
territory to which titles belong; but which cannot be
assumed without permission from the Pope. Liicien
has asked for this permission, and not obtained it ; it
he assumes the title ot Prince, it is without being au•
thorised to do so.
BREMEN, AUGUST 27.
The Russian army near Hambnrgh is about 60,000
strong, and receives continual reinforcements. The •
recruiting for the English service, which had ceaseii,
(not the Hanoverian, which has not been interrupted).
has begun agaiii,and divisions of recruits pass Csrougis
here frequently. • •
It is c.iid, that at the Congress at Vienna, Leipsie
will be declared a tree Imperial City, at the desire of
England.

FRANKFORT, AUGUST 26.
For several days there has been talk of the ap-
proaching restoration of the King of Saxony to Isis
States. This report, though still very uncertain, has
caused a very agreeable sensation through the whole
of Somhern Germany, and his given an irrefragable
proof of the love of the Saxons for their King, and
the consideration which the virtues and misfortunes
of this unfortunate Prince have acquired him among
'the neighbouring States. It is generally believed that
rthis Prince will repair to Vi'nna, to defend in person
This cause at the Congress. In the mean time Prussia
does not seem disposed to desist from the pretensions
:which she had formed on a great part of Saxony, and
Appears even to carry her views still farther. We
have remarked, for several weeks, a certain tendency
.in some German Journals, openly written in the in-
terest of that Power, to. rove the great advantage
which will. aosolt- Fvw- • • 'if -the Stn./fort:lnt
fortress of Mentz, with its environs, 'shall be &la'.
tively ceded to the King 'of Prussia.- It is -mks.
vowed to be proved that any other mode of disposing
of Mentz will be extremely prejudicial to Germany,
because in case of a new war the French might with
ease seize on it, and establish there the base tif opera:
tions tor two armies, one of which might smirch up*
Cassel, and the other into Franconia. Primus • • ,
it is said, can furnish a sufficient guarantee to defeat
such projects.

WARSAW, AUGUST .tO.
The Officers of the Polish army have written the
tonna iiig letter to General Dombrowsky
CTENER 1.•`.1(011 call upon Us again to be ready
t.,r war. Fornkrly the youth of our country, Invited
by you, took up arms to conquer the rights or the.
kingdom of our ioitvathers. We have shed vox blood
tor .ilmost all nations. They .ckluced us with vspec.
Cations, aid the blood we have shed has produced
ter :tditiiitage, except to the advinturers, who armed
at promoting their own ends. Tile remembrance
alt our endeavuurs, which seem to. linv, been in
vain, tear open aft csh the hon 'Enable %youth,: we have
received in the service of our country.

“ There is no Pole who does not think with tears
en . the present occurrences in the world. All
Monarchs are endeavouring to give back to Etti ;•e
general peace, its rights, and the balance of pow( z :
all nations expect, from the attainment of this great
object, a dura4le peace—l'iland alone his liitlte: to
Ind no share in the genei.4l joy, to which; however,
she claims a right—we Poles, who h eve given to oili r
nations an example hoW one ought to fi,;lit for one's
rights and independence, remain an tnigma t. the
whole of Europe.
4‘ All are full of joy at the new they have re-
ceived, but Ito single nation attends to the justice of
our cause. Unhappy brethren, we alone return to
our mournful homes, deserted by hope, as if all na-
tions intended to cover the wrongs we have endured,.
and the splend ur of our ancient glory with the
of oblivion. What torture can be compared to this ?
why does the angel of peace, who formerly opened
us such chearful prospects, delay to declare more
loudly in favour of our cause, that he may crown. all
great deeds, and not give us alone reason to lament
the establishment of general peace.
66 Explain to us, General, what your measures
mean, and why we must take arms ? Shall we not
spare our bleeding hearts when we arm for a war, the
object of which is unknown to us ? Ask the conque-
ror, in our name, what he requires of us—we are in
his power, but our country alone can demand our
blood. As soon as h: insures to us this country, we
will take up arms for it and for its generous !ono:-
tor—duty and gratitude will then double our courage
and our national spirit ; but without this as.urance
we shall not arm.
66 We declare this, and are ready rather to submit
to the hardest necessity, to endure the tate of pris,,.
ners of war, than to act unworthy of ourselves and
of you. Such are our sentiments, our confidence, the
national spirit to which we are resolved to remain
faithful.”

AMERICAN PAPERS.
To-day we have received Fial.fax Papers to the
6th of August, New Yogic to the 80th of July, and
Boston to the 31st of July ; they bring no account of
any event of importance in Canada, subsequent to
that of the ,tith and eith of July ; in which the British
fell bock before superior numbers. It will appear,
that on the Lakes, the British flag is still destined to

wave triumphant: for Sir JAMES YEN at the date of
the last accounts, was off Sacket's Harbour, blockad-
ing Commodore CuausczY, or rather defying him to

come our. In the mean time, our Readers will see,
04 on the side of Canada, our naval and military

flees are teceiving reinforcements daily, which long
ere this must have put them in a condition to act on

the citelis;ve.

Nearly the whole or the shores of the United States
ore now actually invaded. The state of trepidation
and alarm excited among the American Citizens may
be more easily conceived than described ; indeed,
their fears have literally nearly deprived them of the
power of Utterance, as will be seen from the hurried
and confused way in which they relate their suffer-

ings. It is rather odd, however, to find that all their
abuse is vented, not so much against their invaders
as against their own Government.—" The people
call loudly," says a Boston Journalist, " for the de-
fence which the Constitution ieclares the General
Government shall give them, and for which they
have paid scores of millions ; they ask for arms and
ammunition, and p,ovisions, and they are answered,
that the Government troops are gone to take Ca-
nada ; and it any succour is sent, it arrives after the
enemy has retired.
44 The people of that part of Maryland which is
now the seat of war, are represented as being ex-
tremely exasperated at the President for leaving them
in their exposed situation. A letter from Leonards-
town, after mentioning the consternation and suffer-
ings of the people, adds—' But these are only ex-
ceeded by the high state of irritable sensibility disco-
vered by all classes of citizens, of whatever party,
with scarcely an exception, whenever Maranon or
B IIiNEY'S name is mentioned. The dethroned tyrant
is scarcely more execrated by the people of Paris,
Lyons, or Bout deaux, than our PRISIDSNT is by the
good people of Calvert, Charles, and St. Mary's.—
Canes are pouted nut upon him daily by thousands
of is.ouths, for briugilig the enemy upon them with-
out affording protection.'"
. Our Readers will read with much satisfaction the
subjoined accounts of the arrival at Bermuda, if not
upon the American Coast, of the greater part of our
feinforcements in perfect safety :
BOSTON, JULY so.
We have published from the I,w reri ELT:Sing
Pi4l, an article relative to the plan of the campaign,
which seems to have come from a very intelligent
•source. Whether the writer has any secret informs-
don of the scheme of operations determined upon, is
of little consequence. It is very ccrtain that any seri-
ous invasion in the direction of Montreal, if intended,
cannot be accomplished. The British regelar troops
in Canada will out-number our whole army, prob.,-
lily in the ratio of 3to 2. Whether the enemy, with
their decidedly superior force, in number, as well as
in d;scipline, will invade our territory, we know not,
although it is probable they will. The number of
troops which they have already opposed to General
Izard, and their having opened the road which was
blocked up with so much care two years ago, render
it probable that they do not intend to he idle. But
thstre can be no expectation that the right wing of
our army will advance. All the conquests therefore
are to be gained on the left. This part of the army,
which is under the command of General Brown, it is
pretty well settled, when augmented by the reinforce-
ments which are now on the w..y to it, will amount to
about .suoo_men,
General Brawn had advanced on the 10th instant
to Queenston.
IVe 'understand by a Gentleman from Burlington,
that Colonel Clark has been arrested for disobedience
of orders. Our army continues on the frontiers, with
its advanced posts at Odeltown. The British continue
bvtore them.
