PRIVATE LETTER.

The Legiflative B idy and the Tribunate have
loft no time in infcribing their individull votes in
favour of prolonging BomArAltres Confulfhip for
life. The only Member .who voted againft the
propofel was CARNOT. After his fignature to that
effeet he wrote I have jigned my proferiptiod.' His
friends in the Tribunate in vain endeavoured to
prevail upon him to erafe this addition. Finding
him inexorable.their attachment fuggefled to them
the expedient of opening a new regitter, in which
Cmtmor's fignature is omitted. The example of
CARNor has been followed by only one other per-
fon in an official fituation—a petty Clerk at the
Treafury.

In the Senate, the projeft for choofing BONA-
PART, for ten years, was oppofed by CARAT, who
is Paid to have quoted from VOLTAIRE, the line—

Mg the refidence of Coroners. His objcdt was, he laid, that

Ihould have power to annul the eledion, which mutt refult
from the introduction of fuch a claufe.

the &nation as they were before,oni f giving them an additional
allowance; put this claufe would entirely alter their fituation,
by debarring them from following their proteffions.
Mr. Wll3l.tr thought it would be better to introduce the
claufe in a Bill for the regulation of the office of Coroner, ra-
ther than the prefent BilL
After a few words from Mr. DINT and Mr. DICKS N I,
Mr. DIU KIES Du N DAS withdrew his

ditional allowance to Coroners far their travelling expellees :
he thought it thould be placed under the jurifdletion of the
Quarter Seffions.

We yellerday received Paris Journals of the t 6th.
They contain no news of importance. The papers,
it is well known, dare not make any refleelions on
the Rate of public opinion. The Tribunate have
concurred with the Government in the plan for
recruiting the army. The reafons given by.the
Reporter of the Committee, SAHUC, a Military
Officer, for keeping up a ftrong military eftablifli-
ment, are deferving of particular notice. We have
given an extra& of the moft prominent features of '
his report, which forms an admirable counterpart
to the AcHrels of Friday. Here we have mutniti
