FRENCH PAPERS.

Van ex, Jam. 13.—The Courier from London ap-
pears to have brought fresh instructions to the Eng-
lish Ambassador, who has since more decidedly
pressed the conclusion of the Negotiations. It is a
very curious question,whether England holds herself
bound to continue to pay, iu the year 1815, the sub-
sidies stipulated by the treaty of Chaumont, it is pro-
bate that she will refuse, and that the Continental
Powers will find themselves compelled to reduce the
immense forces which they keep on foot.
The persuasion that every thing is amicably ar-
ranged, is not weakened, but on the contrary,
strengthened. Never were the Sovereigns since they
met here upon a more friendly footing, which is a
guarantee of peace. There seems a general per.
suasion that the points on which they are not al-
together agreed, are not of a nature to produce a new
ear. Eaglets(' has proved by her eagerness to make
peace with the Uuited States, how much she feels the
necessity of it.
PARIS, JAN. 29.—1 t is said that Mr. Albert Galla-
tin, one of the American Ministers at the Congress of
Ghent, is destined on en important mission to the
French Gores-unmet.
i Beaus, Jan. 15.—The King of Sweden, we
learn, has engaged to protect our maritime commerce
*gains( the Barbary Corsairs, and instructions to that
effect, have been gives' to the Swedish Consuls in the
ports of the Mediterranean.
Rowe, JAN. 15,—The Secretary of .State has
never been more busily engaged than for the few last
ezpected that the Consul of. Naples is
about .qeit that capital; notwithstanding he is
always. 'hare, end contents himself with sendin; de-
clarations, 'justifying himself hero 'accusations made
against him.
. It is said, that his Majesty Charles IV. has re.
dived several. couriersfrom King Murat, begging
hinslo interpose his good offices with his Holiness,
to asoid new calamities, and to persuade him not to
change the situation of things until the decision of
the Cnngres2.
His Majesty Charles IV. has seen his Holiness, as
is supposed in consequence of the representations of
the King of Naples; but it seems that he found the
Pope inflexible, refusing to retract his just preten-
sions in any respect.
Bozzoto, J.te. 17.—The order to pay in five
days the contributions for our department, and the
promulgation of the news that the payment of the
first third must he made in this month, hiss occa,
sioned violent discontents in our little districts, that
have suffered so much, end had not yet bad time to
repair their losses, in consequence of the successive
passage of the French and Austrian armies. In many
parts the notices posted have been torn down, and a
refusal to pay at all has been placarded in its stead:
in some places " the Independenv of Italy" is stuck
up. The .Magistrate has in consequence repaired tot'
Cremona, to obtain from the Governor some detach. •
melds of troops to maintain tranquillity. The au-
thorities there did not think fit to take any step upon
the subject, but the Government of Milan has been ;
written to. There is reason to believe that his Et-
cellency the Governor would not by a misplaced
persekeratice again disturb our town, and that he I
will concede the delay that is required for the pay. •
meat of the contributions.

I este! thy there passed through here on his way to
Verona, an Imperial Commissary-General. It is
asserted that the Veronese exhibit a spirit of inde-
pendence, n hick ha: excited some alarm.

your to merit the esteem of their new Monarch.—ln

money, which he has bequeathed to two daughters.

end afterwards entered Lloyd's Coffee-house, where

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—Last week a horsekeeper,
named Carter, in the employ of Mr. Smith, stage-
master, of Chelsea, attempted several times to hang
himself in the stables, but being closely watched,
Could not effect it ; at last he took an opportunity of
going to Battersea-bridge, where he threw himself
ever the battlement into the river ; but here again
Providence interfered ; he was observed by a Water-
man, who immediately went to his assistance, at
the risk of Ms own life. So decided was he on
self-destruction, that he grappled with his pre-
server, who was nearly lost in his humane enders.
Yours to save him from a watery gravel in which he
succeeded.
