Since the Emperor's return from his last journey,
the Official Paper has publilbed a great number of
decrees, recently paled by his Majesty in favour of
the four new Departments on the left Bank of the
Rhine. Thee Departments. and particularly their
' principal towns, as has been already obferved. have
attrafted the particular attention of the Sovereign.
during his refidence among them. We may judge
of them by Tome examples. At Ai z.la.Chapelle, the
Emperor ordered a general plan to be taken of the
different aqueduas, of the mineral waters in that
town, as well as of the honfes in which baths are
eftabliffied, in order that a prop& mould be after-
wards digefted for the refloration and enthelliChment
of the baths. in eopfideration of an advance of rso.ooo
francs, to be made by the Tr .sfrory of the Empire.
The town of Cologne has obtained thweltablithment
is its port of a real entrepot of foreign merchandise
and provitions. The fame privilege has beers accord-
ed to the commerce of Ment z. The poet of Coblentz
has been comprehended among thole that enjoy the
privilege of 'Wing foreign tobacco in leaf. Two ob.
pas, in fine, of an extenfive and argent interell for
all this country of the four united departments, the
diffinition between territorial and feodal obligations.
and the liquidation of the public debt, have begun to
be regulated. [Here follows an abridgment of what
has been done and decreed refraing both.]
The Connfellors of State, Bigot, Prcalnellatt,
Cruet, Jolliver, and Colin. alembled at Mentz, held
laves( conference. with Jean Bon Saint Andre, Pre-
felt of the Department of Mont Tonnete ; Chaim,

as the molt able Juris Confults of the cautery. 'The
objelt of there conferences was to effort thalsquidation
and payment of the debts of the fort departments of
the left bank of the Rhine, as well regillered as float-
