FROM THE PARIS PAPERS.

Bou Loam E, Auc. 20.—The labours of our port
arc profecuted with the greateß aCtivity. The
carpenters work of the quays is finifhed, and the
workmen in great numbers are day and night em.
ployed in filling up and digging the canal. It is
really a curious fpedacle to fee the multitude of
workmen continually going backwards and for-
wards in the water, and the great number of fires
placed at certain digances, and which, refleCted
from the furface of the water, feem multiplied
without end, adds to the grandeur of the
fcene. A great many &angers, and particularly
Eni;lifli, arrive here daily. The rent of our coun-
try-houfes is almoa doubled Gate the peace, and

apartments in the town are vary day dearer and
framer.

BARCELONA, JULY 24.—The Spanith form:lron
which is to proceed from Carthagena to Naples,
to take on board their SICILIAN MAJESTIES, is
ready to fail, but will not put to fea till the ,sth
of next month.

GENOA, Atrourr 14.—The inffallation of the
new Doge, Citizen JEROPIR Dußazzo, took place
laft Tuefday morning, in the large Hall of the
National Palace, and was performed with great
folemnity in the pretence of C. SALICETTI, the
French Plenipotentiary, the whole Diplomatic
Body, Generals GARDAKNE and SPINOLA, and
all the Officers of onr troops : an uncommon
concourfe of people attended on the occafion.
When the Senate had taken their feats, the Se•
cretary General read with a loud voice the letter
to the Flasr CONSUL, in which the commiffion
of Government announced the ceffAtion of their
funetions, and thst in which the Firft Conful, in
name of the Confulta, invited them to choofe for
the &ft time the Members of the Senate ; he then
read the letter of the Senate to the Firlt Conful;
the decree for the eletction of a Doge, and in the
laft place the letter of BONAPARTE to the Senate.
This morning the Cardinal Archbifhop waited
on the Senate to offer his congratulation, on which
&cation he made the following fpeech :
" Deßined by PRovtostics to the fpiritual Go-
vernment of this illuffrious Metropolitan church,
though unworthy of it, I could not meet my peo-
ple in a more fortunate moment than that in which
the fate of the Ligurian Republic is glorioufly
efiablithed on the firmeß foundations.

" I beg you, Citizen Doge and Citizens Senators,
to confider me always not only as the Pallor of
this beloved flock, but as a Citizen of this Repub-
lic ; and you ought to be affured that I 111411 be
always zealous to ftipport our holy Catholic re•
ligion, to thew the ftri&ell obedience to Govern•
ment, and to do every thing as fa as depends on
my miniary to promote the tranquillity and hap-
pinefs of the State.

" My Epircopal charaaer, and thofe infignia
with which I am invelted, ought to be pledges to
you of my candour and of the fincerity of my fen-
timents ; as your piety, Citizen Doge, and your
zeal for the public good, Citizens Senators, are to
me, of the fpecial protedion which the Govern-
ment
will always grant to the Apollolic Roman
Catholic Religion, as well as to all its Minifters."
The Doge replied as follows :
" Citizen Cardinal Archbifbop—The Senate of
the Ligurian Republic waited for you with impa-
tience. The virtue and talents by which you are
di ilinguiffied, the fidelity an constancy with which
in difficult times you performed the grcd tett duties;
the wifdom and fitgacity with which you conclud-
ed to an end, the molt important commiffions ;
the labours and merits which have rendered you
worthy of the facred purple, make us behold in
you with unfeigned fatisfatlion a fellow citizen,
and conceive the belt hopes in acknowledging you
as our Archbiffiop. You come at a time when a
new Government called upon to fix the deffiny of
the Republic, is fenfible of the utility of your co-
operation.

" You know how ranch the good Ligurians
have at all times diftinguilhed themfelves by their
attachment to the Catholic Apoßohe and Roman
Religion, which has always been the fundamental
principle of all their Conflitutions, and it is well
known, how dear to them is the voice of their
Minifters, and what influence it has on their hearts.
" You well know how to fecond with your zeal,
and to enforce by your example, the intentions
of Government, which are certainly in unifon with
your own, and which will have no other object in
view than the publick felicity, and our co-opera-
tion, to procure to the people the greateft happi•
nefs by our means, and refpedive attributes will
be perfeet and unalterable.
" Illuftrious companion of the laft days of
Pius VI. Minifler and Nuncio of the wife and
pacific willies of the reigning Pope, you have
great models of holinefs and prudence to imitate.
The Senate of the Ligurian Republic receives you
into its bofom under the belt aufpices, and confi-
ders this day as one of the molt fortunate for the
Republic."

We have received Paris journals to the .27th
init. from which we have prefented feveral extrafts
in the preceding columns. We have alfo feleeted
a few more articles from the Hamburgh Mail that
arrived on Saturday.
The French journals are fluent refpeaing the
prohibition iffued againa the reading of Englifh
Newfpapers. The fad, however, is certain, or-
ders having been received by many in the habit of
fending them over, to dircontinue them till fur-
ther notice. One would think this fulficient to
quiet the apprehenfions of chore who entertain
fears refpeCting fair clifcuffion ; and yet we find in
one of the journals a furious tirade again( the Eng.
lifh papers. It is fuppofed to be from the pen of
BMW!, and contains very grofs and unfounded
charges of corruption. How different the condu4fl
of the journalifts of the two countries—we Mould
rather fay how different the Governments ! Here
we reprint the wora things they can invent againlt
us—there they dare not even read Our plain Rate.

Mr. NECKER has publifhed a new work; it iv
called Lai Views upon Politic, and Finance, cleric/ to
du French Nalion.-44 Yes, (lays the author) they
are the laft ; they are the laft Views I offer to the
French Nation—the laft ; that word fuits my age
and my health, which becomes weaker. I have
fhewn the political inconvenience of thole timid
combinations, which, borrowing fome traits from
Monarchy and fome from Republicanifm, have
neither the majeftic unity of the one, nor the ani-
mated movement of the other. I have traced two
plans of Government, one under the name of he-
reditary and tempered Monarchy, the other under
a Republic one and indivifible, and fubmitting, as
much as poffible, in reafon, to the laws of the
church. I have terminated the work by reflec-
tions upon finance, and I have deftined them both
for the prefent time and for futurity."

Private letters from Hamburgh, under date of
the zoth intl. Rate, that Louis XVIII. who Rill
keeps his Colin at Warfaw, has refuted to accept
the annual alimony offered him by the Courts of
Pruffia and Ruffia, from a notion, that if he really
contented to receive fuch a fum in the fhape of
' a penfion, he would, by fo doing, forfeit his title
of fucceffion to the crown and kingdom of France,
which his MAJESTY does not defpair of obtaining
fome day or other. This unhappy PRINCE, whole
mind is much depreffed by the great calamities
and humiliations he has experienced, has written
letters both to FREDERICK and ALL XANDER, thank-
ing them for their magnanimous offer, but inform-
ing them, that he begged leave to decline any
Ripulated Cum, but would appeal to them on pro-
per occafions for what little his exigencies might
require, in the proud hope of repaying all on the
day of his reftoration.
A Court Martial was on Friday held on board
the Phoebe at Sheernefs, fnr the trial of the gun-
ner of the Ranger, of 18 guns, for careleffnek
with refpeet to the magazine, in confequcnce
of
which the flip was nearly loft. The Ranger WAS
at the time employed in conveying volunteers from
Deptford to Sheernefs, and providentially all the
powder was taken out, except fuch as was kept for
the centinels—this caught fire, aad exploded with
great violence, letting the (hip in flames, and (lie
was raved by fcuttling the decks, and half tilling
her with water.—The prifoner was found guilty
of negligence, feverely reprimanded, and mulled
four months pay.

On Saturday fe'nnight fome gunpowder acci•
dentally caught fire in a room of a honk, tic bot-
tom of Shaw, s•brow, Liverpool, which forced the
windows out, and fet fire to the clothes of a wo-
man therein, who threw herfelf (all in flames) out
of a one-pair of (lairs window, and was caught by
fome men, without any further injury than bung
feverely fcorched.
On Sunday fe'nnight, at noon, a confiderable
number of houfes were burned in the town of
Thurles, Ireland. Two boys had been firing.
fquibs, when the wadding lodged in the thatch of
a houfe, which, from the intcnfe heat of the day,
WAS more than ordinarily combuffible: and the
wind, light as it was, blowing unfortunately on
the town, dire&ed the flames that way with filch
fury, that above 5o dwellings and offices 'ere
confumed, and the entire of the property dellroed
within them before the fire could be cuitiguiliked.
