The French funds on the 10th were at 50 1. 25 c.

A person landed at Portsmouth on Thursday from
Morlaix, whence she came in a cartel, who states, that
she his resided in Paris the last six months, and only
left it on the 19th February last. She represents the
Parisians as being in the utmost alarm for the safety
of the city, BONAPARTE, it is said, having declared
that he will burn it if it cannot be defended. The
Allies were anxiously expected by most people, and
every one was eager to be placed out of their dread-
ful state of suspence. There are an immense number
of cannon planted around Paris, but it does n,)t ap-
pear that the inhabitants were inclined to make
the most trivial resistance. On the contrary a gene-
rous enemy would be received with much satisfacti‘,n,
such is the people's detestation of BONAPARTE and
his system of government. MARIA LOUISA is much
beloved and respected. In the recent conflict of
BONAPARTE with the Allies be succeeded in making
about 10(X) prisoners which were paraded about
the streets for a shew ; but to give his assertions in
his late accounts an air of truth he caused the
prisoners of several depots (made at various pe-
riods of the war, and which were only removing
their station to prevent their being liberated by the
Russians, &c.) to be marched through the city as the
fruit of the successes recently claimed. Our informant
also states that many of the conscripts, which marched
for the armies, returned again in a day or two, wound-
'ed some without hats or caps, awd others without

their arms and accoutrements—there also came in at
intervals a number of wounded horses. The late de-
mands of the French armies had exhausted the-cnaga-
lines, MO that it WAS tiiifiCUlt, and, in some instances,
not practiclble, to furnish the conscripts with arms and
cloti.ing. There were many of this class in Paris, not
Calctil -sled to march torthe scene of operations inconse-
quence. JOSLLII 130NAPARTE still remained at Paris,
perfoi ruing the part of a reviewing Geneial ; he being
daily employed in that service But JOSEPH appears
a man of peace, and the enemies of France have no-
thing to apprehend from his genius. Nearly all the
main roads leading from Paris are occupied either by
the Cossacks or more regular troops. That to Mor-
laix was not interrupted.
The above Cartel from Morlaix brought over the
Surgeon of his Majesty's late ship GRASSHOPPER,
which was driven into the Texel about two years
since, in dreadfully severe weather, in which the
unfortunate HERO was lost. This cartel took over
Lieutenant SHEA, of the -29th regiment, who Was
sent back to France, by our Government, for having
broken his parole ! Lieutenant S. was thrown into
prison the moment he landed.

convicted of the murder of George Brothers, a water-
man, of Gosport, on the 22d Sept. last. It will be
recollected, that they hired the deceased's wherry to
go to the Isle a Wight, but after getting on board
they made for the French coast, and murdered the
deceased in the act, as was supposed, of making re-
sistance to their escape. They were sentenced to be
executed, and their bodies to be dissected.
