PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

PARIS, JAN. 22.
It is not exaaly known when the Fier'. CONSUL
will return to Paris ' • nor can any thing be exaCtly
afcertained here about the Definitive Treaty, as
the difpatches from Amiens, as well as from Lon-
don, are not opened, but are fent off immediately
to Lyons. In fad, people here never talk on po-
litics. The indifference and apathy of the Parifians
on the fubjett of politics is aftonifhing. Thofe
people, individually, whom we in England confi-
dered as orators, heroes, &c. are all dwindled into
a flare of political non-exiftence. When I ftrft ar-
rived in Paris I expelled to have found in every
coffee.houfe, nay, in every corner of the ftreet, a
philitfopher, a publicift, &c. ; inftead of which I
find nothing but bon vivants, mufcadins and
coffee-houfe loungers, who talk and think of no-
thing but dillipatton ! But while lam thus fevere
I beg to be underftood, that there are many men,
and women too, of the moll exalted genius and
virtue in this country.
' The Ex-Direltor BAREAS has fold his eftate
called Gras Bei:, formerly belonging to the pre-
fent Pretender of France, to General Moaa*u, for
16,0001. Reding, payable by inftalmenta. This is
all the Ex-Diredtor has made while be was a King of
Trrovv—for I confider all thofe who have figured
away in the Revolution as Co many Trump Gard:. '
while in place they were every thing—now they
are nothing. I frequently fee Rewsext., Maa-
LIN of Douay, and LAREVE LUNAR LEPEAUX, who
are all configned to the cave of obrcurity !
M. CAIIARR US, the father of Madame TALLIEN,
arrived yefterday in Paris, and went in the even-
ing with his daughter to a grand ball.
Yefterday being the anmverfary of the Bxecu-
tion of Louis the XVI. I went to the place
where that awful ceremony took place. Formerly
there was a Itatue of Louis XV. ; afterwards a
column with infcriptions of the different fucceftes
of the French Armies, but at the laft Grand Fete,
on the gth of November, that was pulled down,
and nothing but a few planks are left. To this
place I was fixed for near two hours, revolving
the political occurrences of the laft twelve years.
I faw a great number of people palling by, but
no one leaned to participte in my feelings on
this occaflon.

Thtre has been a very extraordinary commer-
cial (peculation and monopoly entered into by cer-
tain political eliaraners, all of them well known.
!ley are of both countries. There Commercial
Statcfmert bought up all the Spanith wool in Spin
!hey could get, amounting to i 6,000 bags, and
'have 1m it here.

Many of the men alliiEted with the fame dreadful
diforder are alto in a fair way of recovery.

sy's grandfather, and the whole pedigree of the

THa 4/4 SWAY CLAIMI.—The final adjuffinent
which, a few dayi fince, .we announced had taken
place refperaing the long pending claims made by
individuals in tliis country againft perfons in the
United States, was a tranfildlion which we have
fince afcertained to have been of even greater m 0..,
ment than we then Rated. The demand made by
Britifh fubjefts for thole debti, which were imme-
diately the objed in difpute, amounted to about
four millions (telling. The fern which Mr. KING,
the American Atnballidor, has coitraEted, on the..
part of the United States, to give, is fix hundred
thonfand pounds, which is to be paid by instal-
ments of two hundred thoufand pounds every two
years, without interejt. A bargain fo favourable
to the Americans, it cannot be fqppofed, would
have been agreed to by this Government, but from
a conviCtion that molt of the demands of Britifh
fubjeets were not well founded. •
Nothing contributes to excite emulation 41 our
Army and Navy more than national applaufe and
gratitude ; we, therefore, mcill highly approve of
thole public exhibitions which commemorate the
glorious exploits of our countrymen, and keep a:en'
continually in our view. But we earneltly advife
Artitts to be cautious, when delineating battles, or
recalling the forrows of individuals whole relatives
or friends have Wisp in the conflift. • We particu.
larly allude to that part of the Great PiCture ex•
hibiting at Spring-Gardens, of the battle of Alex-
andria, where the gallant Colonel Dure Hs is re-
relented expiring. The fubjeCt is rendered ex-
tremely interefting by the very able manner 'in
which it is painted, but we fear that amongft the
multitudes who daily throng to view it, many will
be found whofe griefs have been revived by du
accuracy of il, a reprefeittation, and the folemnity
of the fcene.

EXECUTION OF 80FERNOR WALL.

This morning, a few minutes pan eight o'clock,
Governor Watt. was executed before the debtors'
door, Newgate, agreeably to his fentence, for the
murder of Serjeant Armarong, at the Bland of
Goree, on the loth of July 1782.

He was very meanly dreffed in an old grey coat,
black pantaloons, and white flockings, and ap-
peared much affeaed with his awful lituation. A
white handkerchief, forming a bandeau, concealed
the upper part of his face from the fpeaators.
An immerde crowd, which had affembled early
in the morning, to witnefs the execution, teftifia
much indignation on his appearance. They ev,-,n
(pouted applaufe, on finding that juftice had, after
fo many years, overtaken him.

He was attended, as is 'dual, by the Ordinary
of Newgate, but remained only three or four mi-
nutes on the platform before it fell under, and
left him fufpended. Owing to the rope flipping a
little, as was fuppofcd, he was a con(iderable time
in dying, during which he appeared to be much
convulfed. The handkerchief that was put into
his hand to drop as a fignal, he continued to hold
tHI taken from it by the executioner half an hour
after he was fufpended. On being cut down his
body was put into a Cast, and given to the furgeons
f. r difedion.

He has left a wife, who is conneded with a very
refpeetable family, and one fon, a boy of nine years
old, to lament his fate.

In a day or two, we shall lay before our Readers
the original Affidavits of Capt. LACY, Lieut.
O'Snan Lay, Enfign FORD:and almoft the whole
of the furvivors of the African corps who reached
England, refpedling this tranfaftion. We forbore
to fay any thing on the fubjeft while there was a
poffibility of its influencing the public mind, while
the fate of the individual remained undetermined.
Now, however, juftice to fome of the furvivors
demands that thefe affidavits thould be made as
public as poffible.
