BY gentleman who arrived in this town
from France, on Sunday lah We have been
favored with Paris papers to may zzd. the latelt
by A few days received from that vortex OF
iniquity-As all the newspapers are under the
immediate controul Of the Dlrefory's minions
their contents mutt be cOnlidered as mott
favorable 10 the views Of thole Tyrants OF
mankind.
We have feleaeI all the articles which par
take any fpce Of importance. From a care
full perulal Of them we are able 10 trace the
outlines of powerful contederacy forming to
check the progreis of an ambitious career,
which threatens Europe with delSge of ra-
pine, anarchy and immortality: which at the
fame time it afe9s all governments, and iyi-
TENS Of laws, lays Poltrate the Affairs dedica

Man Thereby rendering him fit inaument
Of aTAnination, and powerful engine for the
entire deG.u qion Of the country which gave
him birth. This confederacy will embrace
RuHia, Auaria, Prutia, at-Britai1, and
Naples and perhaps will be joined by Swe-
den and Denmark-the Expectations on whof-
property have been equal to that on the a.
meri-an.
There are no indications Of a pacific termi.
nation Of the negotiation at RITA 1t The re
quiftions Of The French are conGdered as iniul-
ting and extorti0nate.-In the hrt inltance
they only demanded the left bank Of the Rhine
as the boundary Of the Republic they now
claim (for tie peace Of fbs Embire) all the lAinds
in the Rhine all the Tees d-t Points, and few.

with the following taunt-" The m1meaf for ten

have received this Note as they olght-wth
indignation. We may foon exped to hear, that
the Congress is didolved, and ini(e4d OF ne5otia-
ton fee action.
Of the invaGon Of England we difcern the
fme apparent butIe, and noCe Of preparation;
at The fame time We Gill retain our belief Of
its being mere galgonade to intimitate Eu
rope into diGgraceful and ruinous peace. Il
IS certain, that II 600 of thofs troops mode1ly
Ryled the Army Of Engl1nI. have march-e
70 the Upper Rhine, to opPoGe the head making
in that quarter by AuRria.
In the Empire we do not hear Of a Ecgle
folder being diibanded on the contrary new
making for renewing the war with activity and
efed.-We hope with iuccefs.
In the interior Of France we find nothing to
attract attention. Nor could we eypea it in
the Prefent "gaggeP' aate of the paper. The
Legislature appear 70 have their hands full il

Geneva has become an integral part Of the
French republic and its inhabitants declared
French born.
We fee no mention of Portugal in the pa
Pers.
In Corfca new revolutions are in train. If
the Age Of Cfivahy is gone BY, that Of revolt
has not.
In the lit of neutral veGels fent into France
by Privateers, sc. we find about three Danes
and Swedes 70 one American. Notwithaand-
ing thcie captures, Wet India and other pro-
duce, were at extravagantly high prices thro
out France.
A letter from Hannah has announced, that
the hereditary prince Of HeGe Cadel had pub
lcly declared, that an alliance between the
courts Of Vienna, Petersburg and Naples had
been concluded and Ggned.
If we can credit letters from Germany,
there was concluded on the 9th Of April,
treaty Of alliance between III. Emperor and
king Of PruGia.
The dispatches from our ENJOYS were re.
