The French Government has put a (top to the
circulation of Eng Hilt Newfpapers in France, as
was dated Tome days ago. Lail Wednefday all the
Libraries, Saw and Cabiatt Lithrafret were vifited,
and the owners forbidden any more to receive or
allow the Englifh Newfpapers to be read in their
houfes under pain of imprifonment. This cer-
tainly is not the &keit way of Conducing political
controverfy. After throwing down the gauntlet,
the FillbT Consul. should have allowed " a clear
Rage and no favour." It is not unufual in certain
quarters of this metropolis for an able-bodied dif.
putant to vent his own indignation in words, and
then attempt to knock down his antagonifl. We
admit all the good intention of fuch an enemy to
reit with the Parifian Prete& of Police, but he only
difplays an impotent malice.

It is natural, indeed, that the French Govern-
meat °sould be difpleafell with the liberty of dif
cuffion that is exercifed in this country, and that
BONAPARTE should be ansious to deprive his Cub-
jet% of the auxiliary freedom which yet remains
in England. That England yet is fife from the
power of the EMPEROR of the Gains, is undnubt-
edly a biding to us, to France, to the world in
general. It is not enough for the Kings, the
Confuls, and the Riders of the World, to fet
themfelves together againik junice, agd Igainft
liberty—if there is a place where the yoke
of liberty (hall be heard, and from whence the,
voice of complaint may be communicated. Even
by fuch humble infiruments their wicked genius is
rebuked. They mull dread the force of inquiry
and of truth ; but they cannot fupprefs what they
dread.

This morning a Mail arrived frr►m Hamburo,
and one from Holland. which have brought (eve-
ral articles of intelligence.

Of the war between Ruffia and Perfia we have
as yet obtained no farther information, than that
the new regent of the latter, Bass Kam, has col•
leaed a confiderable body of troops, in order to
meet the Ruffian army, which has penetrated from
the corner of Allracan, through Derbent, to the
Perfian province of Ghilan. The circemnance
which gave occafion to thefe hofiiiities is, that all
the Ruffian fubjeas refident in the States of the Paid
Regent were driven from their pofreffions, ender a
pretence that Raffia anted unjuftly in taking under
its prOtettion the provinces of Georgia and Min-
grelia. It is apprehended that this difpute will
be attended with a great deal of bloodfbed. In-
deed, according to the French Journals, received
yeflerday, there has' already been an aftion, in
which the Perfians were beaten.
