FROM THE PARIS PAPERS.

BEENE, Nov. g.—A letter is jolt publiflied,
written by the Deputies of the (mall cantons to the
Firft Conful, when they withdrew from the Hel-
vetic Diet. It defervcs publication :
,‘ Citizen Firft. Conful—Deprived of all re-
fources, the three Cantons of the Helvetic Confe-
deracy, Uri, Schnitz, and Underwald, feel too
ftrongly the abfolute necessity cf a Cortaitution
founded on the fimplicity and 4:economy of their
anceftors, not to fignify to you the ardent &fire
which they have of preferving, as much as poffi.
ble, that which the fathers of liberty have found-
ed, and which, during nearly five hundred years,
has conflituted the happinefs of their children.—
Europe knows with what firm-ids and with what
devotion, out of all proportion to their Itrength,
the defeeridants of Ti cc have. ftruggled fur its pre-
fervation ; and the virtue of a BON A P AR T E cannot
refute to them a mark of efleem which renders
them Rill more courageous. The envy and am-
bition of fume individuals, unworthy the name of'
Swifs, unfortunately feems too much to influence
the French Government, and we arc the unhappy
victim of their defpicahlc adherents. But fcarcely,
Great Conful, had you marked the path of hap-
pinefs to the French, than you deigned to call an
eye of comp:a:on on us ; you waited to re-efla-
With both our limits and our happinefs; but the
fame paffions which have caufcd our ruin, Dill la-
bour to confirm it. We with to follow your
views, and re-unite nurfelves to Helvetia, even
with fume factifices ; but our deceitful brethren
&fire a reftoration of powers which would dege-
nerate into defpotil'm, and reduce us to the condi-
tion of flaves. The diverfity of worship, manners,
education, cufloms, wants, and many other circum-
fiances, render an uniformity of adminiiiration
inipoffible, and the attempt could not fail totally
to deftruy us. It is ahlitintcly neeJEiry that our

intention, nor for the intereft of France, to in-
create the misfortunes of a people who have al-

quillity and repofe.

BIRLIN, Ocr. v.—The Court Gazette contains
to-day the following article :

" In the projet of peace, fuhmitted by Lord
MALMESBORY, on the Nth of July, 1797, to the
French Plenipotentiaries at Lille, is was propofed
to re-ellablifh theflatus quo ante &Hum, relative to
the poffeflions of the two Powers. Yet England
then demanded Trinidad, Ceylon, the Cape, and
Cochin ; on the other hand, the agreed to cede
Negapatnam. England demanded, betides, the re-
ftoration of the property of the Prince of ORANGE
in Holland, or an equivalent indemnity, as well
for that property as for the other lodes that Prince
had fuftained."

VIENNA, OCTOBER 31.—Count d'Eerz, whore
journey to Madrid his been deterred, is now pre-
paring to fet out for Spain as Ambaffador from
the Court of Vienna. The conclulion of Prelimi-
naries of Peace between France and England has
accelerated this million, and restored the former
relation between Spain and Aultria. The Spanilh
Ambafficlor who went to Italy is about to return
to this capital ; it is therefore believed, that our
Court will acknowledge the KING of ETRURIA.

M. CASSINI, who under the reign of PAUL I.
was the Ruffian Agent at the Pontifical Court,
and who was afterwards recalled by his Sovereign,
arrived here a few days ago; he will let out in a
fhort time for Rome, where he will remain as re-
fident of his Imperial Majefly ALEXANDER I. He
has full powers it is fitid to treat refpefting the af-
fairs of Malta, Ruflia being difp•fed to grant to
the POPE the Sovereignty ad interim of that Order.
PETERSBURGH, OCT. 2C.—Our good Emperor
has vifited the environs of /4W-cow ; if he every
where performs aels of beneficence, every where
does lie receive the molt worthy reward of his vir-
tues, in the public teftimonies of the affection and
gratitude which animates his lubjeds. The fefli-
val will terminate on the 26th, shich is expelled
to be the molt fplendidof all, being the birth day of
the Emprefs Dowager.
TURIN, Nov. I.—The General Adminiflration
has publifhed the Confular decrees relative to the
judicial department within the limits of the 27th
military divifion. Civil juftice is to be diftributed
by eleven courts of primary jurifdielinn, to be
ellablifhed at Turin, Sn zajerea, Aoßa, Afli Abbe,
Coni, Mondovi, Alexandria, Voguera, and Ver-
celli. The Court of Appeal is to confift of thirty
judges, a commiffary, and three fubflitutes, and to
be divided into three feftions. The Prefident of
this Court is Citizen Borrow, one of the late Se-
nators. Criminal offences are to be tried by three
Special Courts, which are to fit at Turin, Alex-
andria, and Coni. This new organization is an
art of beneficence on the part of Government,
which men of enlightened minds, t.nd the friends of
focial happpinefs, will eltimate at their full value.
The mint at Turin will loon be placed on the fame
footing as thofe of the Republic.
BaussCLF. Nov. t3.—We are informed from
Middleburgh that the French frigates conftrueled
at Dunkirk, and which were rigged at Flufhing,
have jult failed from that port, -having on board
the z7th demi-brigade of light infantry, deftined
for St. Domingo. We leans, by the fame chan-
nel, that Admiral Dic hsois has lately received new
orders from the Admiralty, in confequence of
which he has withdraWn all the cruizers who were
ftationed at a certain diltance from the coatis of
the Patavian Republic.
HAGUE, Ocr. B.—The Legiflative Body chore,
at its halt fitting, five members, who, joined to
five othcrs whom the government arc to choofe,
Bull nominate the National Tribunal of Jrillice,
the eflabliihment of which has been deferred for
four years. Greater activity has been generally
remarked in the condua of public affairs fince the
eflabliflimelit of the new conflitution, and this
improvement will naturally be progreflive. The
officers and li:rims to be employed is the govern-
ment of the Cape of Good Hope are to be ap•
pointed without delay. It is already fuppofed
that Admiral DE WisTtß or Citizen JANSEN, firfi
Commiffary of the French troops in the pay of the
Ft nch Republic, will be the Governor. Both of
there officers have important ferviccs to produce
in fupport of their pretenfions to this lroaourablc
Ration.
