The French revolution has given les~
son TO the world, thar to preserve States,
they mus, be in state Of constant im-
provement. A few happy Ststes have not
been diverted from this attention to the
happiness of the people. Such as Den
mark, Saxony, and some celebrates Of
Germany, We are astonished to see one
man presiding over every movement, and
vigilant in every part, with the same ar
dour and patience. We are led to ina
CINE luxury in his interchangeable labours !;
but We fnd one thing is necessary in
France, prodigies. Nothing is done cold
ly. Every accessory is forgotten. All the
cares of France are equal, and hence 1t is
above the different interests and emotions
which succeed SO rapidly among such re-
evolutionary people. France, deprived of
near two hundred millions of livres IN the
Yves, Indies only, still THINKS of commerce.
The tribunal of Paris makes its CONNER
cial reports, to which the Emperor and
Empire pay grea, attention. The highest
respect is paid to the goodness With which
the Emperor replies to every eommuni-
cation, and to the Judgment with which he
discovers their usefulness. He has pro-

praying that warrant for 800 acres ofland

of his rank, might issue. An enquiry has
been made at the War Office into this sub
lect but it was rendered incomplete by
the burning of rfle papers, however 1t did
appear that warrant had already issued
ON this account, but inasmuch as ii had

Tor offers to indemnify the United States
against the same, if it should ever appear.
Referred to the committee of Claims.

the Delaware regiment, and afterwards
engaged in the sea service, who was twice

The canal which is to unite the Rhine
and the Donbs, and SO opena communica-
ton between the Rhine and the Rhone,
was to begin in September, and the Engi-
reers werc upon the ground, and the la
bourers ready for the work. An indemni-
fcation was 10 be made to all persons who
might be injured by these operations. The
bridge over the Rhine at Strasburg was to
be finished before winter. The slujce at
Dieppe, ore Of the best works Of this ma
tore, projected by C-ssarl. and executed
by Lam5iard;e, has bcen eHectuaily secur-
cd against obS.ructions, and is constructed
with great solidity.
The reports have been made by Berig-
ny and the complexion Of the work gave
occasion for pompous celebration in pre-
sence Of the civil and military authorizes.
All the gates were opened atthe same me-
ment, and afforded fifteen feet Of water.
/, is expected tina, this will render Dieppe
the deepest and most easy port in the cham

val architecture, every ingenious discovery
has ample encouragement. Bernier at Hay
re, the inventor Of the lnsubmersible boat
was to exhibit third time the proof OF his
success, and to afford full proof to the
spectators of the importance of his inven
ton in case of shipWreck. Not only adj
santases upon sea were regarded with at
tention, but conveniencies on shore. At
Paris full experiment WAS 70 be made
of the newly constructed ch;mnics by Thl-
lorier, which were to burn al combustlbles
without smske, and it was announced that
after they had been used through the past
winter they were free from SCOT. Thilorier
has provided to make them convey the
blaze horizontally, should thar method be
preferred. We mention these facts to
prove the active genius of France i'll new
