We yesterday received French Papers to the_ date
of Wednesday last, consisting of the Moniteur: and
Joarneaux du Commerce, from which we have introduced
extracts into another part of our publication. In ad-
dition to these, we have a long account of a levee of
the French Ruler, at which all the principal authori-
ties assisted, with the deputies from the Kingdom of
Italy. We-are informed also in the same Papers,
that ignorance in the classic languages is in future
to be no impediment with the persons so uninstructed
to their admission into the literaty and scientific in-
stitutions of France, and the prescriptions of Physi-
cians are in future to be written sit the native lan-
guage. It seems, that many-individuals of exalted
rank have arrived in Paris, among whom are the-
Prince BORCHESE and the Viceroy of Italy ; their ar-
rival is ascribed to the desire manifested by the Em-
peror to give the utmost possible celebrity to the com-
ing event or the Empress's aceouchement, which is to be
followed by the most superb galas.
A rises of ten
.iter4cent. in the current value of the
stamped dollars in circulation takes place this day.
The increase in the price of silver has become so great,
that the dollars or tokens issued by the Bank sell for
more as bullion than they are current at as coin. The
Directors have therefore given notice, that they will
in future receive in payment all Bank dollar-tokens
at the rate of fair shilling: and sixpence each, instead of
five shillings as heretofore. All such tokens are hence-
forth to be issued at the same increased rate.
BREAD.—There being no Court of Aldermen this
day, the LORD Mayon, after inspecting the Returns,
ordered it to continue at the present prices.
The following Gentlemen, prisoners of war, made
their escape from the. French coast in a small boat,
and landed at Harwich on Saturday :—Mr. SWEEDY,
late-Midshipman of his Majesty's ship Bouverie ; Mr.
NATON, late Midshipman of the Calcutta ; Mr. Ro-
amsoN, late Midshipman of the Ruby • Mr. MAY,
late Midshipman of the Jackall ; and dr. HELDER,
late Midshipman of the Spencer. They have been in
pi icon from three to seven years.
• The CHALLENGER sloop of war has been captured
off the Isle of Bas by a French 74 and a frigate, which
had escaped out of some of the ports during the late
foggy weather and easterly winds.
The report which has appeared in some of the Lon-
don Prints, of the wreck of the SABINE, of la guns,
er.T,taiu GRAVES, is without foundation. The SABINE
experienced a heavy gale in the Straits of Gibraltar,
but was refitted, and then went to Cadiz.
