it most be agreeable 40 hear that the king
of Denmark has abolished slavery 10 the
Dutchics of Hois,ein and SchIeswig. The
slector at Salisbury has also suppressed
the tax imposed upon the Jews. Bona
parse-has also been hounttful, we learn, to
the daughter of the deceased minister be-
nezec, who died with out property.
From the interior of France we learn,
that attentions continued TO 9the Holy
Father, who still was at Paris. On the
18th February he visited the Repository OF
Arts and Trades. On the occasion, the
most useful inventions were displayed be-
fore him. The machinery OF Richer at
tracted his notice. This machinery is to
impress the paper money. @ltprints the
text and the numbers. He then viewed
the silk and cotton manufactures. Anew
engraving machine produced, invented by
Conte, and employed IN the work upon
Egypt. Thousands crouded for his bene-
dction, and the Holy Father administered
the holy communion with his owa hands
in the parish church Of St. Margaret to
one hundred persons, chiefly laboyers.
This privilege was not INDUCED to the te-
males, from tie countless multi.udes OF
them, who were obliged to be content
with general benediction, ard plena-
nv indulgence. On the I'd of February
eight bishops took the oath to his majes
w while his majesty was at the ceisbra-
ton of mass. L'Abbe Fournicr is named
as his ma;essy's chaplain. We ought to
observe all these interesting circuuistan-
ces, as they have a greater influence on
:hs fate of France than sieges and bat-
ties. The news from Lyons is favora-
bic TO ,ae full prosperity OF that ancient
city. 1t was in full industry, and no.
able b. all its laborers to answer the
constant demands. The sums coined at.
the mint, and reported in January, a
mounted in gold and silver to a sum ex-
ceediag f36 millions OF francs, and the
coins Of S francs were in value above
1o6 millions, giving In the whole sum
above 242 millions. At the disposal OF
government, for the expences Of the cur
rent year, 684 millions were announced,
and 400 mllions tor the next year. APP
pearances were very favorable to the IN
ternal quiet Of France, in the present pos
tnre of their public affairs.
In Holland, the alliance with France
was so real, as that no opposition was
expressed to the will of his imperial ma
iesty. The exports Of all tsh from the Ba.
Wan fisheries, were free OF all duties.
In Germany, baron Thagut has hecn
mentioned as the person WAC is expected
in the command OF the Venitian territories.
Gunner had finished the Colossal statee Of
the Emperor Joseph Ii. and he had ia
vented machine to remove it By the la
bour only of ten men, though it is repre-
sen'ed to contain feur hundred weight Of
metal.
Nothing from Italy gives any particular
alarm. 1t is suspected that powerful poll
tical objections will be made TO the expected
