PARIS, DEOEMBER 25.
The erifis which England is on the point of expe-
riencing, does not thre.ttett her Constitution ; it will
only a:le,`.l- her fyilera of Adminittration ; it will
change die principle,, Inwil;ty the praCtice, and de
[troy the agents. The preterit Cabinet is in a pofi-
tion far from being durable. The fuperficial obferver
thinks the Government liable, becaufe the Oppotidon
ore filent ; but is not this very filence a fy!tem of po-
litical malady ? The people may expea all
forts of calamities when the. Oppofiticn are wi:hout
the means of giving fome enerAy to the Adminiara.
Lion, and above all, when to this internal difeafe are
added, foreign carafes wl.icli threaten to aggravate it.
Such is the political fitiroion of England ; the Op-
pofitinn silent—the Mini;ter; inert—the people un-
eafy.—Bz.P.-tin Prditique.
The Pi etidents of the Cantons who were prcfented
to his Majelly the other day, were addrefi-ed by him
in the following terms:—
" Gentlemen, Praidents of 3,600 Cantons, I fee
you with pleafure near my throne, to which I have
been called by the unanimous wither. of the inhabi-
tants of the Cantons reprefented by you. I with I
could have aflembled round me the whole of the
French people—it would have been facet to me to
have been encircled by their affedlion. Had / known
any form of government which would have fuitcd
the French better than what they have adopted, /
thould have been eager to have given it than. I Ihould
think myfelf unworthy of the throne, if in afcending
it I had any other intention than that ofentirriug the
happiucfs of my people, and increafing the profperity
of my vatt Empire. The Prcfider.ts of the Cantons
have !hewn much zeal in the cxercife of their lune:
dons, ar.-!....eCtion for ray per fon—die y will continue
to be c; • props of my power. What I fay of the Pre-1
tidents of Cantons, applies alto to the Mayors of my
36 good Cities. Though fixed more particularly in
rite capital of the Empire, I do not the leis extend my
regard to all parts of France, and I carry equariy in
my breatt the people of all the Departments. My
palace is the paternal houfe of all the French. Be
convinced, Gentlemen, that my happinefs depends
upon the confidence and love of my people."
The troops lent by Aultria to form on the frontier-
of the Tyrol and the banks of the Adige, a cordon
to prevent the introduction of the diforder from Leg
horn, produced fome alarms in the Aollrian States—
alarms feized with avidity by !bole enemies of peace
and of their eountly ; but the Auflrian Government
re affured the people by making known to them the
foie caufe of the movements of the troops It is true
that the number ann-unts to 42,000 men; but it is
fufficient to look at the length of the c n don, to refle.Cl
upon the rigour of the weather, arid it will not appear
extraordinary.
His Majetly fet off yefierday morning at nine
o'clock to hunt. The hounds were to throw off at la
Meate, near St. Germain. He returned to Elie Thud-
ler in at five in the evening.
There was lall night a prii! ford and ball at his :Mt&
I ;al highn.:fet Prince Jos E r It. The Empror was prefent.
General MQRtau, it is 0101101 t, will embark for
America in the beginning of January.
His Imperial M..jelly, as PI efident, has been pre-
(lnt in the A trembly of the C:Aracit of State, which
is now occupied on the Penal Code.

AMSTERDAM, I)Fc. z6.—On Monday there mac
no corn-market at Rotterdam, the troll having fat in
here, lo as to interrupt all internal navigation.
The navigation of the Macfe is now obit' lifted by
the ice which floats io it ; and the !hips in the Canals
of the city of Ito.erdam are locked in by the ice.
Varina T.-.b.:cco is Idaly become dear and
(Caret, the La growth having entirely failed, 'and
what is work, the plant.ttions being completely de.
flroyed. A Spanifh !hip dellined to North America,
having 16,000 cannillers of this: article on board, for
the King's account, has been wrecked.
The taglifit prifoners of war from the ROMNEY
were exchanged lack week, for a like number of our
fhermen, who are neatly all now returned to their
refpeCtive homes.

At Gottenburgh, an attempt to fet that unfortu-
nate city again in flames was difcovered. In a wood
cellar feveral bundles of tiraw were found bound
round with hemp and furze, which had been thrown
in there. The flames had already caught the wood ;
and what the confequence might have been no one
can fay, if a dog, who faw or (melt the fire, had not
begun to howl in the molt dreadful manner, fo as to
attraa attention to the (pot. A reward of rOOO six-
dollars has been offered for the difcovery of the of.
fender or offenders.

Co4sraorimovzs, Nov. tz.—According to Intel•
ligence which has been received, the Ruffians at this
moment are maters of all Georgia, of a number of
ports in the Cafpian Sea, of Erivan, Guenge, and
feveral other confiderable places. On the banks of
the Araxes they lately defeated the Perfians, com•
mended by the Sons of Fathali, and purfued them to
the City of Taurus. Since this event, it is faid, that
a numerous army has been colleEted in the province
of Mazanderan, which is commanded by the Perfian
Monarch in perfon ; and he purpc.fes to march againft
the Ruffians with allpoffible expedition.
