The state of the roads, from the inclemency of the
weather, stilllarevents the regular arrival of. several
of the Mails. The following notice on this subject
was this morning issued from the Post-Office :
44 None of the Western Mails have yet regehed
the Post-Office. At this moment, ten o'clock,
Saturday, January 15th, there are three Mails due
from Falmouth, and three from Plymouth—a cir-
cumstance never before remembered."

We have given a few further extracts from the
French Papers. They are of trifling importance.—
A requisition made by the Allies, on entering France,
is given with a view, no doubt, to excite a spirit of
resistance. It is true that the Allied armies do re-
quire, by this document, very considerable supplies ;
but we do not see any intimation given that the in-
habitants are not to receive fair payment. The very
expressions—" The Under Prefect is invited to fur-
nish," proves that care will be taken that the inhabi-
tants shall be compensated. .
But it is with a very bad grace that BONAPARTE
complains against the Allies on the subject of Requi-
sitions. When the French first entered the Palatinate,
they appointed officers under the denomination of
Commissaries of Evacuation, who stripped the inhabi.
tants, without mercy, of every moveable they pos-
sessed, and did not offer-even an assignat in payment.
When BoxAPAirre invaded• Italy, he issued a requi-
sition upon the in!tabitants of Pavia, for clothing to
.his whole army ; 300,000 pair of shoes, and 60,000
pair of boots, with saddle.; and bridles for his cavalry,
composed part of t!:is order, which was enforced under
the penalty of giving up the town to plunder.—But
why should we recur to the miseries infbcted by Bo-
NAPARTE on other countries ? Look at his own sweep•
ing Decree of Requisition, issued against the inha-
bitants of France, in December last !

There are private accounts in town from France,
which state, that very great alarm prevailed through-
out that unhappy country. At Paris, in particular,
the consternation was almost as great as during any
period of the Revolution. There was a great run
upon all the Banks, and persons were busy in Secre-
ting their property. BONAPARTE is represented as
having been incessantly occupied in making arrange-
ments to meet the Allied armies. But he had been,
,in a great measure, unsuccessful. His troops are re-
presented as deficient in training, and his requisitions
succeed badly.
A letter of the 9th from Parisi received yesterday,
states, that great anxiety and confusion prevailed in
that city : though no symptoms of open resistance to
the Tyrant were manifested—tranquillity still pre-
vailed ; but it was represented as a melancholy lower-
ing calm. The respectable part of the inhabitants are
described as particularly agitated, alarmed by the dan-
gers that threatened from abroad, but sill more ap- •
prehensive of the violence and-despair of the ruling fac-
'l • tion • they trembled for their persons and property, and
anticipate some sweeping decree affecting both. They
suppose, and we think wall probability, that the more
precarious BONAPARTE'S situation becomes, the more
his expedients will be vidlent—the more indifference he
will shew towards the feelings and interests of others.
It is asserted, that a party hostile to him exists in the
Senate ; and that present circumstances are likely to
increase their numbers and influence. It is also said,
that some of the Commissioners sent to the Depart.
ments, received that mission to prevent theirintriguing
at Paris, and that by ;solacing them, BoNamere
hoped to render their influence less troublesome to his
views. It is certain that suspicions to that effect were
entertained at Paris, which increased the anxiety of
those who had property, and made them fear some terri-
ble
explosion. Some persons, it was understood, were
already concealing their valuables ; and even the sur-
mise shews the alarmed state of the public mind.—
There was also, we are informed, a great run upon
the Bank ; and that 42 millions of francs were drawn
out. It is, however, true, that BONAPARTE has
been able to collect a large force ; but not suffi-
ciently numerous, by any means, to cope in the
open geld with the armies of the Allies.
