PARIS, JANUARY is.

General Notsons is arrived at Paris. He departed
from London a few days rinse ; he bad been made
prifoner at St. Lucia, where he had only 400 men.
He was ignorant of the declaration of hoßilities when
the Englith General, Gana' ILD, landed with 6000
men. lie fupported the affault upon;the works, and
thrice drove the Englill back, having killed a great
number of them, and among the reit the officer whom
they had intended to be Governor of the 'nand.
The Englith General had granted General bloc uus
a flag of truce to carry him to France, but the Eng-
lift; cruizers carried him to England, where he was
kept a long time in (mall towns. He was particularly
allonifhed at the barbarifm,.and at the groffnefi of
the prejudices which they had inculcated into the
minds of the people againft the French. The inha-
bitants never (peak of them without giving them the
name of French dogs, and all the abinrdities with
which their journals are filled are implicitly believed
by the people. What a difference between the civiii•
:at inn of the people of France, of Germany, of Italy,
and that of the interior of England.
As to their public (pint, the greaten degree of
alarm prevails, and the number of perfons
tented againft an improvident government, who have
no other refource but that of arming the whole na-
tion, increafes daily.
Peace is eagerly defined by all clerks of the nation,
even by fome of the Princes. Gen. Noce's dined
at Milol with the Duke of Curs D. who
borsht againft the French in Germany, who did not
doubt that the French would be able to circa a de
Icent on England ; and (aid in the moth of convey-
fition, that his erasion was, that the Englifb malt
light en ergyA.

Poverty begins to be nniverfally felt. Even the
navy ftands in need of a great many articles of Rotes
and equipment. The land forces, if we except the ,
Guards and the troops of the line, form a ridiculous
caricature. One chars is armed with Powling pieces,
and a fecond with pikes.
The hfiniftry is univerfally defpired. [Has Jaw
extrOmm. gee jro fa a to give, follow, i'dq she
Keg aed tr.]. The prevailing fentiment of the
whole En ,Ile foldiery is a rw.at date to the Duke
of York, their Commander in Chief.
Other Officers arrived by the fame opportunity,
have furnilbed the following details :
Parliament is compared of 600 Members, and is
divided in the following manner :—Two hundred
and fifty always vote for the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, whatever be his opinion, fhould he even de-
clare it night in full midday. They are purchafed
and paid for it.
The Oligarchical party, compared of Windham,
Melville and Pitt ; which, like the Oligarchies of Ve
' nice and Genoa. no longer know what line of con
' due to, purfne in the new pofition of Europe, aid
whom she pride with which they are puffed up will
not allow to foe It till it be too late, tonna of ninety
Menthets. The Prince of Wales's influence extends
to einhty Members.
T& party of Or. Fox, and of thole who prefer
the prefent /Calm with all the contempt which
they have for them, to teeing the above oligarchins
recalled to the had of affairs, amount to So.
The tett are, compered of Generals. of Officers.
and other iilmthers, who do not attend much to the
Akin of Parliament.
The Mini se is known to be incapable of making
peace, sad peace once made wanting the energy re.
quifite to maintain it untouched, and beyond the
reach of the parties which oppofe him. He is equally
incapable of dire Bing well a war fo difficult and of
eftablilbing an advantageous fyfient of finances in
eircumffances which might prefent themfelves. But
the King. tired with having been under the yoke of
the oligarchical party of PITT and of Tamest, does
not wi(b their return. He equally bates the oppofi-
tion, and to this is to be attributed the exiftence of
a Miniflry the mono contemptible, front which Eng-
land cannot derive any advantage. nor Europe enjoy
any repofe.
The King is often ill. The Qqeen. who would with
to prelerve her influence in the affairs, keeps the
Prince of Wales at as great a diftance as them. He
forms a juin effintate of the pollute of England 4 he
fees, with deep difappointment, his throne fkaken, his
country ring so ruin. He laments to fee England
' 'gaged ma war, in which her all is at flake. What
can be do? He is oppreffed by his mother, by his
brother, by the hfiniflers. Happy had it been for
England. happy for the mute of humanity, if this
Prince had afitended his throne before the lad acs of
the tragedy bad commenced 1

The Glop there are that in the ariaeft fenfe of the
word, and the workmen Minified. A great number
of them have betaken themselves to the highway;
others are in the greaten want, and wander about in
fearch of fulafiltence. Part are carried away by prefs
gangs, and many of there are fent on board the Igo:-

res. There is no doubt, that after one battle loft,
the half °Me& people will join the French army.
The maritime commerce of England has Coffered
much fince the war. Merchant velrels, which fold
for es,oool. fleshing for the EaR India trade, donor
now fell for more than 9 or io,oool. ; that is to fay,
one-third. All the banks are in the g R dinrefs.
Cllth has difappeared, and there is not at 'his moment
an Englilliman who does not hoard his money, in
expeaation of the preffing events which he anticipates.
To procure money it is neceirary to lore at lean to
per cent. One does ant obtain a guinea from the
bankers of the capital, but at a high dircount. On
the fief rumour of a defcent being Jetted in any one
point, the private hunkers will be reduced to bank-
ruptcy. In (bort, England is in the fituation of a
veil in the min of a violent form, which has no
confidence in the pilot who direas it.

JANUAIRT 14.
The Figur Cowsut. has reviewed the advanced
guard or the Italian troops that have arrived at the
Camp of St. Omers. It was complied of the fii ft
derni brigade of light infantry. a fquadron of horfe

giment of huffars. After the review. the officers and
fubalterns drew up in a circle. The FIRST CONSUL

A letter from Conftantinople, dated Dee. 5, far*
" Mr. DRUMMOND, the Englifh Miniffer' before his de.
parture had a private audience of the GRAND SEM.
NIOR and GRAND VIZIRR, in the prefence of the Rent
Errstrui, Minißer for Foreign Affairs. We have
jull been informed that the Plenipotentiaries fent
hither by the Beys, have let out for Egypt with the
convention which has been lately concluded. By this
convention the GRAND SEIGNIOR grants to the Beys
an unconditional amnefly for every thing that has
paffed. He guarantees to them all the rights which
they formerly enjoyed in Egypt. The Beys, on their
part, engage to lend confidetable preffnts to Mecca.
They will lubmit silo to the new meafures adopted
for the colleeion impolls through the whole of the
empire. It is well known that the GRAND VIZIER.
and Captain PACO* have lived for fome years in the
greateft milimdertlanding. This want of harmony
between the two tint charaders in the empire, muff
neceffarily impede the progrefs of bufinefs, and it is
owing to this curcumitance that the troubles that have
taken place in feveral provinces, have not been re-
pretfed with greater energy. The GRIND SEIGNIOR
feeing the difagreealie confeonences of this mifunder-
Rending, attempted immediately alter the return of
the Captain PscHA, IO effea a reconciliation between
that Admiral and the Ga... an VILIIR. In this attempt
the CRAIND SIIGNICR fucceeded, and the reconcilia-
tion appears on both fides fincere. We entertain hopes,
theretwe, that affairs will loon affume a more pro.
m;fing Agee, and that the troubles in Romelia will
be tpeedily adjulted. According to the lateß intelli-
gence. the rebels have removed from Redolla, after
laying a heavy contribution on the inhabitants of that
city."
