PRIVATE LETTER, PARIS, NOVEMBER 6.

A printed letter has got into circulation here,
written by a contratur, of the name of FIGNER,
who loudly complains of the embarraffments
under which he labours, from the want of punc-
tuality on the part of Government, and who
4ctcures BONAPARTE himfelf of having broke the
promile which be had given him. Every endea-
vour has been exerted to buy up the copies; but
it was thoue;ht prudent not to inaitute any pro-
ceeding again(' the author, lea the fervice in which
he was employed fhould fail, or any alarm be
fpread amen ft the other contradors.
A reconciliation has lately been brought about
between the FIRST CONSUL and LucIEN, through
the intervention of Mr. JOSEPH BONAPARTE.
The French Government, it is faid, is much at
a lots how to difpofe of the Soon negroes that have
been fent home from Guadaloupe and Saint Do-
mingo. .
A letter from Brea of the 27th ult. mentions
the arrival, on that day, of la Romaine and la
Volontaire frigates, from New England. The for-
mer has on board a great number of negroes. The
Salamandre, armed en fruit, has likewife arrived.
They bring intelligence that the epidemic fever has
completely ceafed its ravages on the Continent of
Ameriia.
