PRIVATE LETTF,R FROM PARIS.

The improvements making in Paris are beyond
conception, and wonderfully calculated to render
that metropolis the admiration of the world. Three
new bridges are building acrofs the Seine. The
Gardens of the Luxembourg will loon bean ob-
je& of aftonifhing magnificence. The Palace of the
SenatConfervateur, the opening before theanvalids
and other works of grandeur and of tafte will loon
be finithed Commerce is reviving with furprifing
alacrity; every port town is crowded with filips on
the Rocks. A perfon in high authority has affured
me that there are nearly 3so millions in the public
treafury, befides confiderable arrears due from
the year so, and Aven from the year 9 ; that the
revenue of the nation was beyond imagination—
more than equal to all the improvements of peace,
and preparing for a refource in time of war. Bread
has rifen 2 fous in the fmall loaf, a circumftance
that throws difcontent into the poorer clafs • but
the police is fo well organized, that all is (rife.—
Sorry I am to find a difpofition to favour every
nation except England. Mr. PITT, y/ho was fo
perfonally intuiting to BON P IT E. is here fuppoted
to be an advifer of the new Miniftry,notwithltand.
in g their apparent readinefs to ilibmit to the will
of France.

day as want of room prevented us from then lay-
ing before the Public. As to the long philippic
from the /Weimer, which has already been pre-
fenced to our Readers, we find but one prevailing
opinion. The fentiments we !allay threw out
yelterday refpeding it, are thofo of all who have
perufed it. We Mall therefore fay nothing farther
on it for the prefect, efpecially as the arrival of
the French Ambarador, who is now hourly ex-
peaed, may lead to difeuffions between the two
countries, which we have no doubt of Cecil% bla.
zoned forth to the world in the Nonitesr, in con-
formity to the new fyftem of diplomacy followed
by the French.
In the mean time Miniaers continue to follow
palm sneafures for maintaining the dignity, the
rights, the independence of this country. On Se.
tarday orders were fent by the Board of Ord-
nance to Woolwich, to fend off immediately for
Plymouth, guns and nom for feventeen fail of the

Like that country, we only maintain the 44 atti.

Sr. PITSIMURGH, OCT. S.—The day before
yefterday we had another ftorm, Rill more violent
thin that of the fecond of this months and which
has done very great damage both to buildings And
(hips. The wind was fouth-weft, and the Neva
rofe eight feet and two inches: all the lower parts
of the city were under wator ; fome large Chips
damaged a part of the fine granite Banks of the
Neva; many boats, with corn, &c. were funk, and
we were jaftly apprehenfive of fuch an inunda-
tion as in 1777, when the ftorm abated towards
fix o'clock. The damage, however, is very con-
fiderable, and is not yet to be eftimated, Of the
loffes at fea we have not as yet any information.

The Emir saoa has publithed an Ukafe, in which
he obrerves, that he has been acquainted that the
belt part of the nobility and citizens avoid the
eleCtions, and confequently the fervice of the State,
by which means offices fall into-the hands of per.
tons unfit for them. The Senate is, therefore,
commanded to order the Governors of Provinces
to fignify to the nobility, by means of their mar-
flu's, and to the citizens, by their Chief Igagif
trates, that it will be highly agreeable to the Est•
vEROR, if they, in future, attend all eleCtions-snore
punetually, and thus concur, according-to- the
bell of their abilities, by promoting the choice of
proper perfons to the advantage as well of
themfelves as of their country.

STOCKHOLM, OCT. 15.--Yefterday the newly
appointed Danifh Miaifter to our Court, Count
BLooMs, arrived here. The Machine invented in
Scotland, for the diftillation of fpirits, is prohi-
bited by a Royal Edia, on account' of the too
great confumption of corn, which this method of
diftilling might occafion.
COPILN HAGEN, OCT. I9.—The re-eftablifhment
of friendfltip between Denmark and Tripoli has
colt, it is Paid, a much lets fum than it has been
aeceffary to facrifice an fimilar ociafiOns. The

new taxes, which will bring in, it is raid, more

Bane, Ocr. 17.—Our terrors on the approach
of the French troops, which were on the eve of
entering Switzerland, have been removed. This
deliverance we owe to tale exertions of one of our
fellow-citizens, M. Fu Tz, of Bafle. This M. FUTZI
who had ftudied the mathematical fciences, was
about twenty years ago fent for to St. Peterfburgh,
by his uncle, the celebrated PrOfeffor EuLsa, like-
wife a native of Bafle, and under his aufpices be-
came a celebrated teacher, gained the favour ,of
the prefent EatetßOß, and became a Member of
the Ruffian Committee of Inftruaion. This wor-
thy man to warittly exerted hithfell in application
to the Ruffian Monarch, on behalf of his wretched
country, that the EMPEROR fent inaru&ions to his
Ambaffador at Paris, Count Maacorr, to employ
his offices moil vigoroufly with the Hass Cow sut.
in favour of Switzerland.

Some weeks ago, the Diet of Schiitz fent M.
Muct.ssan to Paris, in order to lay before Bo-
NAPARTI the affairs of Switzerland in their proper
light. He immediately waited upon the Ruffian
Ambalfador, in order, by his introdultion, to at-
tain the objelt of his journey. Count MARCOS'S,
who had already been commiffioned by the Els-
Pszoato that effee, accompanied M. MULLSNIN
both to TALLITRAND and the FIRST CONSUL, and
when the latter became informed more correely
of the prefent Rate of Switzerland, he figned to
the followinig conditions :

Z. That no French troops ihadd eines Swittietland.
1. That the Heitede Government at Laufanne should repair
