co,dingly, many mezlorcs are for The Pre-.
fent laid aGje only to be renewed at a
a,,re fit fealtn. In the mean time, how.
ever, four Maids of Honour nave been
appointed to attend the Emrleis OF the
Gauls mott, II 70, all OF them from no.

At the dinners given at ST.. Cloud, eve
ry thing is conducted with Imperial mag
niticence. There are three tables, at one
o! which is the Royal Imperial Family
only, with iuch itIausers as they may
chooit particularly to diiinsuilh. AT
another are the general clGcer: in waiting,
with all the military who may have re-
ceived invitations and al the th;Id Is the
Coyltllo, eta. PrJf.! with al the iirArs
ers and civilians.
Wish reflect TO the Laws, there are
lcarcely any which are regarded as fixed.
They may all be modified or explained
according to the will of The Cove nment,
!. {. ct BorapaIte. The j"dges are de-
voted to hiip. The 1'r;bHgGl Special,
which was intended to iupereede the ju-
ries, is become 70 odious to The public that
government have Tome intention of didolv-
ing il. Taxes are daily aagmentlrg.
Win refped TO commerce ana n,anuiae-
lures, from the want of fixed laws, eve
~ th;ng may be converted into mono
poly by the members OF the government,
| or their agents. II is actually fad, that
the commerce of quick hlver, taiiow and
cotton manufacture is converted into a
lpecies of monopoly in the hands OF ,hoic
| ,f the mott conipisuous Characters in the
fate.
From the change ofminiNrv, which has
juR taken place IN Ru.la, there is Teaion
to believe ihas change oi meaiures is alto
intended by the governent OF that coun-
try. The powers Of Europe are at length
beginning 20 fee their common danger ard
the new efures to which the chan,'s i :.
the Ruiian Cabinet may LEAD, will pro-
badly cccafon GREAT change IN the face
OF poli,ics in Europe. The emperor Of Ruff
ia, following in all his internal aErangc
ments, conduit dismetri' ally op?oii'e to
that of hi ally, Bonspsr'e, has ordered
that the fenase fhall not RICHTER any OF his
| editts which they may fed exccp.ionable,
| until they (ha!l frf have maze remon-
Frances. Ii is to be preinmed that Prince
of fuch wife and benevolent views required
only TO be undeceiyed in reflect 10 the
character and intentions of the Firtl Con-
fol, to alter his political conduit.
The proclamation Of BnnaIar.e, to the
Sw IS has met vita the fate il merlted, and
wh:chiwAs to be expected. General Rarp
is en- his return, without having obtained
any fuccefs in the bett Of his milton !;
and ieveral pcrlons Who had been induf
| srious in circulating this infolcn, mani.
ieRo 10 iielvetia have been arreitcd. "A
| law has been palcd that every rlanin the
| country ihsll carry arms, and be folder.
| The unanimity and moderation of the con.
| fede-ates continues, if potiible, to apg-
| mcnt; nor DO the French Journalists Of
the mott proiituted degree, however well
| inclined, inn ute Jingle act OF violence,
lar lefs Of attrocity, fuch as ha, 700 often
| marked their own revolutionary career,
to the brave and virtuous HclVetlans.-
No facts untavorable 10 the Swlls ought
to be credited upon the faith CT he French
journals, in which the mof complete f,'i,it
OF Aavery, 6attery and fa'fehooi prevails.
But this fate of things Cannot lat forever
and ihould General Bonapartc attempt to
carry his threats into execution, We ihirk
we may venture to predict that his .tar
will let in the mountains Of Helvetia.
