FROM THE PARIS PAPERS. •

Moven, Jas. t7,--The General of Divifion
BASTOOL died the day before yefterday in this
city, in confequence of the wounds which he re-
ceived in the battle of Hohenlinder.. He was bu-
ried with all the honours of war due to his rank

Bettis, Jan. i7.—The terms in which Lord
Gatmvitor replied to Count Rororscatts, the
Ruffian Charge d'Affaires, in anfwer to his repre-
fentations rerpeCting the capture of Malta, are
Rated to be in fiibllance as follows :
44 That all explanations atked by Ruffia were
'ufelefs, as the Court of London was under the Ile-
cefUty of infilling on the embargo and the &quer-
tration impofed by the Emperor Paul. being
taken oft; arid upon indemnity for whattad pal.
fed; that the Convention relative to Malta, the
execution of which was demanded by the Court of
Peteriburgh, was merely a plan fubmitted by that
Court to the Britifh Adminißration, in anfwer to
which• they bad fent back their pia ; but before
the Cabinet of London had fent their Anfwer, the
Court of Peterfburgh had difmiffed their Ambaf-
radar Lord Worrwozra : that the Negociations
of the Court of Peteriburgh to organize an Armed
Neutrality kby lea, had made the greater .impref.
lion on the Court of London, becaufe Ruflia had
propofed to Great Britain to prevent, in con-
jundion with her, the Contraband Trade which
was carried on with France under Danifh and
Swedifh Colours; that if a good tuiderftanding
were to take place between- the two Courts, the
first meafure to be taken would be the re-eftablifh-
meat of the Diplomatic relations between the two
Countries, and the mutual interchange of new
AmbafFadors to be brought about by the medi-
ation of a Neutral Court friendly to both Powers."
Vlllllll4 JAN. 12. The Archduke CHARLES,
appointed Prefident of the Aulic Council, and
Field Marfhal, has received upon that occafion,
from his brother, the following letter, dated the
9th of January :
ffir, and dearell brother—your tender attach-
ment to me, your zeal and your efforts for the
welfare of the State, the tried wifdom and en-
lightened mind which you have difplayed upon fo
many different occations, and of which you have
given a frefh proof in one of the moll decifive mo.,
menu, even at the facrifice of your health, have
excited my liveließ gratitude, and obtained for
you my tnoft unlimited confidence. To give you
a mark of it, I appoint you Field-Marffial, and
Prefident of the Aulic Council of War.—This
place is confided to you, with all the offices there-
unto belonging ; you !hall be dependent join, on
me, and all bufinefs fhall be managed between us.
I have entertained the pleating convillion, that
you will undertake as loon as poflible the care of
every thing which relates to this place, and every
thing appertaining to it ; that you will with
care over the management of affairs ; and that all
meafures and difpofitions fhall be direded in the
manner bell calculated to attain the end propofed.
expelt alto that you will fhortly tranfrnit to me

M. General Baron SPANOCHI, made prifoner
in the actions which took place in Bavaria, has
obtained his liberty. His Royal Highnefs the
Archduke CHARLES addrefred for that purpofe a
letter to General Moas•tl in which he admits
that he is not in order in demandingi the liberty of
a brave Officer, a prifoner at war; but that he felt
it his duty to exert himfelf for the liberty of the
brave Officer, who was his preceptor, and en-
joyed his entire efteem ; and requefled, in confe-
quence, that the. General in Chief would make an
exception in favour of that Officer. General Mo-
at/at anfwered in the molt polite terms, that he
feized this opportunity, with pleafure, of giving
his Royal Highnefs a proof of his unbounded
efteem ; that he had given his liberty to General
SPANOCHI, and provided means for his arrival at
Vienna in 48 hours.
AMSTIRDAM, JAN. 18. Since the figning of
the Convention of the Northern Courts relative to
the maintenance of the liberty of the Neutral
Flag, and the declaration of the KING of Ewe-
LAND, the merchants of this city have entirely
furpended all figning of maritime infurances,
from fear that the Englifh might feize indifcrimi-
'lately all cidroarse neutral veffels. They are de-
termined to rift nothing until they know what
will be the effeds of this convention, which mull
naturally lead to very important confequences.
This condo& of our merchants is wife under the
prefent circumftances. They might, however,
Rill depart from this extreme circumfpedion in
favour of the Pruffian flag, which mull neceffarily
come niuch into favour, as every thing teems to
promife that it will be refpeßed by thole who feet
openly to feize the nniverfal monarchy of the
real.
JAN. 31. A number of (hips of war built in
the ports of the Zuyder Zee, are repairing to the
Texel, for the purpofe of completing their equip-
ment there. Admiral de Wrwraa is alto 'at the
Teter, where lie brifkly urges the equipment of
all the (hips of war in it. The maritime works
have never been puthed with fo much vigour as
they are at prefent at Rotterdam and Helvoet-
fluys. They continue alfo to labour upon &fen-
live meafures, principally upon the coatis of
North Holland, and at the Helder. They are com-
pleting there the works which were commenced,
as alto the entrenchments and batteries. General
VICTOR, Commander in Chief of the French troops
in the pay of the Batavian Republic, has further
lapelled that part of the coaft, and approved the
meafures taken there. The Englifh have taken
in the North Sea Tome merchant vette!, under a
neutral Rag, and carried them to England.
Various corps of Dutch national troops have
let out on their march for the Upper Mein to de-
fcend that river; they are going into winter quar-
ters on the barks of the Nidda. Several officers
of the Staff of the Gallo-Batavian Army have
obtained leave to go to the Hague.
