PARIS, AUGUST 7.

The Conftlar Guard performed Come maw:en-
eres in the Champ de Mars, at five o'clock this
afternoon.

Poppin, formerly a Captain in the Chouan ar-
my, and two other Rebels, have been concluded to
the prifon of Chateau-Briand.
The following curious circumftance is raid to
have lately happened. One of the leaders of the
Jacobin Faftion bad fuccceded in procuring to be
madc a fnuff-box perfeCtly fimilar to that ufed by
the Chief Conful, but though the fathion of it was
imitated molt correelly, the artificer had not fuc-
veeded in making it open with equal facility. Bo-
)4 &PARTE finding this box on his table, and being
inclined to take a pinch of fnuff, was aftoniffied to
find a confiderable difficulty in opening it. This
circurnflance ftruck him fo much, that the fimila-
rity of the box in other refpeas had no effect in
deceiving him. After a number of vain inquiries
among his fervants, he fent for a phyfician, who
having chemically analyzed the fnuff in the box,
declined, that the Chief Conful, had he taken any,
could not have furvived half an hour.

A great many workmen have been employed
for fome days paR on the new bridge to be built
over the Seine, op fire to the magnificent Jardin
des Plaster, which by the care of C.CHAPTAL, the
Minitler of the Interior, is daily receiving new
embellifhments. The piers will be of Ilone, the
ref of caR iron and wood. This bridge, fo long
wanted, will be of great utility for opening a com-
munication with the Boulevards.
A letter from Cherbourg, dated July 30, fays,
On the 18th an Englifh corvette met four leagues
off with a PruiLan fhip, the Elizabeth, which had
touched at this port fome days before, and which
was going to Decamp. The corvette examined her
ferupuloufly, and took away three feamen. The
Englifh Captain enjoined the Captain to return
immediately to Cherbourg, and threatened to fink
him if he continued his courfe. He pretended that
Cherbourg had been declared in a Rate of blockade
two days ago, and that no fhip was either to go in
or out of that port.
" The fecund fart is more recent: it happened to
thq Danifh brig the Chrifiianfand, which touched
at this port.
"The fhip was boarded tie day before yeflerday
about three leagues off by a frigate and Englifh
corvette ; the latter kept the Dana Captain on
board his Ihip from 7a. ar. to 2p. in. The Com-
mander wifhed to carry him to England ; but the
Captain of the frigate interpofed his authority, and
caufed him to be releafed. Whillt the Danifh Cap-
tain was on board the corvette they vifited his flup
minutely. Such is the fubilance of the report
which the Danifh Captain Isacsoa made here up-
on his arrival."—Aforriteur. _ _ _

A letter from Bruffels, dated Anvil 4, rays,
" The two principal divifions of the Dutch Fleet,
commanded by Admiral de WINTER, have been
newly reinforced by fome ihips of the Line and
Frigates, armed and fitted out in the Zuyderzee
and the Meufe.—Notwitlittanding all that has been
raid to the contrary, it is certain the Batavian fleet
is ready to put to fea, and that the Crews of all the
Ships of War which compote it are complete. All
the neceffary arrangements are made at the Texel,
at the Fielder, and at the mouth of the Zuyderzee,
to repulfe any attempt that may be made by Lord
NELSON on the Dutch Divifion in the Texel road.
—ln the night of the sd, ftrong detachments of
our Garrifon were in motion. Yellerday, before
day-break, all the quays of the ports were full of
troops. This meafure had for its objea the car-
rying away all the failors belonging to the mer-
chantmen.—Thefe failors have been fent provi-
fionally to the military prifon, from whence they
are to be fent to the Flemifh Ports, where they
will be acquainted with their deftination."
The following letteihas been fent by the Mayor
of Mentz to the principal perfons of the Society of
the Jews in that city :
" I hereby inform you, that in compliance with
a requeft from the French Government, the Re-
gency of Afchaffenburgh has abolifhed the Toll-
Duty which has been hitherto exatted from Jews
refident in the territory of Mentz, under the ex-
prefs condition, that none are to be exempted but
thofe,who (hall prove themftives to be attually Ci-
tizens of France. I requeft you to make this
known to all the Jews in this city, that thole go-
ing to the Right Bank of the Rhine may properly
avail themfelves of it. Health and Fraternity,
(Signed) de !SACKS."
The Rabbis of the Synagogue of Frankfort have,
it is (aid, ecklie to a refolution of addreffing a cir-
cular letter to all the Rabbis of Germany, requeft-
ing them to canfc public prayers to be offered up
in all the Synagogues to implore the GOD of Abra-
ham, that he may direct the hearts of the Sove-
reigns of Germany, and infpire them with the de-
fire of imitating the generofity of the French, and
the beneficence of the Elettor of Mentz, in favour
of the Children of Ifrael, by excepting them from
the ignominious tax, called the dd Cloven Foot,"
which they are obliged to pay in feveral places,
and particularly in the (mall imperial free towns.
On the 1 sth of June lall, an Aa of the Ruffian
Senate, highly important to the interefts of free-
dom and good government of that Empire, re-•
ceived the fantlion of hi. Majefty the Emperor

t • An Azt of the Emprefs CATN PRINS 11. had
declared houfeholders in towns, and all perfons of
thofe which are denominated the firft and fecond
cla Wes, to be no longer liable to coffer corporal pu-
nifhments. An Al of the 3d January, 1797, de-
clared not only that: puffins, but criminals of all
anks, to he fuhjeft to the knout. This Left law is
by the prefent A./ refcinded: and the regulations
of the late ErnpreA ale refl./ed.-2. A Decree of
the 4th of May, 1797, abolifhed the right of the
eolleetive of v,sen, (a right formerly

1797 And 2780 forbade the teeeption of peafants
into the condition of hurgeffes or merchants, who
should not previoufly give fecurity for the due pay-
ment of the taxes. Thofe Decrees are by this Ait
confirmed.-4. The rents from mills, meadows,
public fquares, and baths, in towns, are by this Aa

We learn from Hungary, that two-thirds of the
town of Gyula have been reduced to afhes. The
three Churches, Catholic, Greek, and Proteftant,
the buildings defined for the Affcmblies of the
State, the new Cattle, the fuperb Mills, the great
Town Brewery, in a word, all the principal edi-
fices were enveloped in flames. In the beginning
of the fire, every perfon endeavoured to fecure a
portion of their effeCts ; the ftreets, gardens, and
even the cellars, were inftantly filled, but fuch
was the firength and rapidity of the flames, that
fcarce a fingle article efcaped.
By accounts from Vienna, of the 25th ult. the
Duke of MODENA has fent a pofitive declaration
from Trevifo, his prefent place of refidence, to Pa-
ris, that he will not take polfeffion of the Brif-
gaw.' But this declaration has produced no kind
of elle& upon the FIRST CONSUL, who alto infifts
upon the literal expreffion of the Treaty of Lone.
