This day we received, at a late hour, Paris
Journals to the 25th inaant, inclufive. They are
chiefly occupied with congratulatory addreffes to
the FIRST CONSUL, from different quarters of the
French Republic ; but having already laid fome
fpecimens of this kind before our Readers, we for-
bear quoting more of them at prefent.
The following are among the moil important
of the articles which happened to meet our eye
in the hurry with which the Thortnefs of the time
allowed us to glance the Papers over :

French Tier: Confolidi 62 f.

PARIS, OCT. 23.—One of the Blips of the Re-

MINISTER OF THE MARINE.—To enfure the free
navigation of commerce, and to bring about as
loon as poffible an abfolute ceffation of hoftilities,
the Minifter of Marine has embraced the earlieft
opportunity of tranfmitting ',airports to the Britills
Government.

Similar paffports are about to he tranfmitted to
France, by the Lords of the Admiralty at London.
They will be immediately diftributed to the dif
ferent ports of the Republic, and delivered to all
veffels bound to places, which they might not have
reached before the expiration of the period fixed
for the reftitution of maritime prizes, according to
the fecond Article of the Preliminaries of Peace
between France atfd England.
Privateers are informed that there paffports will
be delivered to them by the Maritime PrefeCts,
or by the Commillioners of the Marine, refiding in

oileur.

LA FLorra, Oc r. ts.—An Englifh frigate hay-
ing run aground yefterday on our coaft, Alliance
was offered to it, which the Captain refufed with
thanks ; we delivered to him a printed detail of
the Preliminaries of Peace, which he tranfmitted

Too Low, Ocr. flag of truce has arri.
vcd hcre from Conflantinople, after a paffage of
27 days. The pallingers were much furprifed
not to find here the firft which fet out fome
days before: this vcffel, driven by bad weather into
fome port, mull, no doubt, have been detained by
contrary winds. The one arrived had on board
all the failors detained in Turkey, as well as
the Commiffaries of the Republic at Smyrna
and Rhodes. The firli Flag of Truce had on
board feveral perfons attached to the legation, and
fome artifts.

who, from the beginning of the year 1793 to the
end of 18ot, have branded thole, who were ene-
mies to war, as Jacobins and Democrats, now call
thoib, who objed to the term: of Peace, " Friends

The debate on the Preliminaries of Peace will

charged.
The Counters of Mayo has been erroneonfly
(toted in the public prints as one of the daughters
of his Grace the late Archbifhop of Dublin. His

The working Smiths, in Dublin, made applica-
tion by Counfel, on Thurfday lalt, in the City
Court there, to the Recorder and Aldermen, to
have their hours of work leffened two in the day,
that their time for labour may be the fame as
other handicrafts.
Thurfday came on before the Recorder of Dub-
lin and a refpedable Jury, an Appeal, of the KING
'tgainft JANES O'CONNOR, for keeping a public tap

gether with machinery and
We are defined to (late, that an advertifement

which the name of the Duchefs of Mowritosii is

lates to her Grace, is totally falfe ; her Grace
never having heard of Mrs. GARDNER till the raw

At the prefent %tarter Seffions, a molt falutary
and feafonable lefron has been given to a fet of
abandoned mifcreants, who make it a pradice to
infult women publicly in the ftreets by indecent
familiarities, efpecially when in the company of
their male friends or relations, who, while attempt.
ing to printed them, ate frequently expofed to the
molt brutal treatment. The convUtion of two of-
fenders of this kind, as mentioned in our Paper of
yeßerday, who have been fentenced to a year's im-
prifonment, will, we hope, teach them better be-
haviour in future, and serve as a warning to others,
to treat the female lea with that refped, which
none but the molt worthirfi and pro will refute
them.

On Friday morning was brought afhore at
at Leith, by one of the Newhaven boats, a very
full grown (hark : the length of this fifh from the
t.,p of the tail to the nofe (if meafured) could not
be let's than between feven and eight feet. The ro
tundity of its body was truly aflonifhing. Its
liver, when taken out, filled a laige walling tub,
and might weigh full one hundred weight. It
appeared to be furnilh.4 with four (*Mina rows of
teeth, and was truly a terrific reprefentation of
that all-devouring fpecies of fill. It occafinned
great havock amongfl the nets when taken, yet
the Mermen complained not. being well pleafed
with their vifitant, as a fure prognoltic of the ple-
nitude of herrings on the coa&

As si z E or BREAD.A Court of Aldermen was
held yellerday at one o'clock, and the Matter and
Wardens of the Company of Bakers attending,
were called before them, when the Court having
infpested the Meal-Weighers' returns. ordered It
to be reduced half an Mize, or one penny in the
peck loaf, to commence and take place to-morrow.
The price of the Qttartern Loaf will then be

Several heads of cattle were on Monday laft
driven away from Smithfield, after flamling car the
ftones the ufual time, without having the prices of
them Aced by any purchafer.
At Emfworth, near Chichefter, the price of
porkers and bacon hogs is only eight fhillings per
fcore. Before the Preliminaries of Peace were
figned, as much as twenty fhillings per fcore had
frequently been given for them.
At Woodbridge Fair, in Suffolk, on Tuefday
and Wednefdaylaft, the (how of fhort-horned and
Scotch cattle was large, but the prices were kept
up fo high, that very little bufinefs was done ; no.
thing of the leaneft kind was fold under three fhil.
lings per flone.
At Rofs Fair, on Thurfday laft, there was a
great Show of good cattle; but the fale being very
dull, few were fold, and thole at reduced prices.
A confiderable reduction Aft) took place in the
price of pigs. Sheep not much lower. Belt Wehh

The Berkfhire Agricultural Society, at their
Meeting near Wantage, on the nth inflant,
a molt numerous and refpeCtable attendance, mnit
of the Gentlemen of the Vale being prefent ; fit
ploughs with two horfes each, and one with four
oxen, entered for the prizes: two of the former
foon withdrew. . _ _

All the ploughs which remained in the field to.
wards the dole of the conteft, being the common
two-wheeled ploughs, the arbitrators could give
no preference as to that of the bell conftruElion,
and were, therefore, under the neceflity of giving
their prizes to the ploughs which did their allot-
ments in the belt and molt workman-like manner.
The ground let out in Wantage field was deep
land, and owing to that, as well as its afcent, was
well calculated to try the ftrength of the cattle.
A great concourfe of people as well as molt of
the neighbouring gentry in carriages and on horfe-
back attended, which, with the finenefs of the day,
and the emulation of the candidates, rendered'the
fcene truly interefting.
Ihe conteft ended about three o'clock, when
upwards of fifty gentlemen dined with the Stew-
ards : after which the prizes were adjudged to the
plough teams and to the ploughmen, as alfo thole
to the induftrious, and annual fervants, one of
whom bad bred up eleven children without part.

titled in one place, one 47 years, the other 25 years.
The Society, finding that the ,ution of
tilde prizes has railed a great emulation, refolved
that another ploughing match fhould be held near
Reading, Come time in the month of December.

Lawsi RA IR now.—About feven o'clock on Sa-
turday night, a beautiful Lunar Iris appeared at
Edinburgh in the wellern part of the horizon. As
the Moon was then very near the full, and her al-
titude above the horizon not very great, tly: red,
yellow, and violet colours of the Iris could be ea-
fily and the bow approached pretty
near to a complete femicircle. This phenomonea
continued half an hour ; and, as the wellern pan
of the horizon was, during that time, covered with
an obfcure haze, which rendered it excellently
adapted for the reception of the colours, it pie-
.anted a moll beautiful fpeetacle to many who had
never, till then, the pleafure of obferving
AR ISTOTL S informs us, that he was the firil who
obferved the Lunar Iris, and adds, that they arc
never teen but at the time of full moon. It has
often appeared a matter of wonder to philaophers
how this phenonomen fo rarely occurs; but if we
confider that it never appears unlefs the Moon be
near the Oppofition—that the comes into this Lta-
ation only thirteen times a year; whereas the San
is in a Rate fitted for their produCtion twice every
day ; and that the light of the Moon is incompara-
bly more faint than that Of the Sims—our furpri-te
will quickly vanifh, and we will rather be aftunife-
ed at the frequency of their produtlion.
The Rev. and learned Dr. Mac harms, of Cie-
nurchay, Argyllfhire, has communicated to B. D.
PERKINS, of Leicalertquare, London, the iefil:t

he acknowledges " has exceeded his wartneft ex-
