PARIS, May 10.
General Ddmas has received orders to
1 quit Paris, the caufc of his dismissal is as
follows : On Easter day, at the church of
Notre Dame, one of his friends observed
to him, that we appeared to he reverting
to our ancient regimen. “ True” repli
ed Del mas, “nothing remains to be done
but to expiate the death of the two milli
ons of brave men who died in the cause of
liberty.” This severe sarcasm was re
ported to Buonaparte, who next day ap.
proaching Delmas, alked him “ what he
thought of the ceremony of the proceed
ing day ?'* “ General,” replied Delmas,
u e’etoit u/te <vrai capucinnde ” —(a com
plete piece of canting hypocrify)—Buona
parte returned no answer; but Delmas
having boasted of what he had said, Buo
naparte was informed of it, and sent
Brune to Delmas, to desire him to retraft
what he had said. Delmas having re
filled to do so, received orders immedi
ately to repair to Vallcrs, his native town,
on pain of being arrested.
Several officers were arrested the night
before last, accused, as is supposed, of hav
ing formed a party in oppofmon to the
projefts of the firft consul, in favor of the
catholic worship.
The new arrangements relative to the
Concordat, experience in all their details
a variety of difficulties, which do not en
tirely proceed from the unbelievers (in*
credules.) The Concordat, the speeches
of Portalis, Simeon, and Lucien Buona
parte, have been burnt at Aix ; but it is
unknown whether by the jacobins or
fanatic catholics. We are apprehensive
of revolts in all the dioceses, to which
the constitutional bishops have been sent.
The bishops have been nominated by
Buonaparte alone, contrary to the advice
of all thofc who participated with him in
the business. Even on the morning of
Easter day, the legate refufed to commu
nicate with them, and compelled them,
without allowing them the Icaft delay, to
sign a recantation of their oaths. Buo.
naparte in furtherance of the fame system
requires, that out of every twelve cura
cies, four at least (hall be given to the
constitutional priests—that the fame pro
portion (hall be oblerved with regard to
the chapters which are about to be form
ed ; and that it (hall be even more consi
derable with refpeft to thofc who perform
the duty of parochial chapels. From all
this there already begin to rcfult difiemi
ons of the most troublesome nature, al
though fcveral bishops, as well as milfio
naries, have written to their ancient dio
ceses, with a view to engage them to
submission, and have entered into a corres
pondence for that objeft. The constitu
tional hilhop of Rouen, (M. Lc Blanc
\ de Beaulieu) after having made the ne
cessary recantation, in order to become
bishop of Soifons, font to the constitutional
priests of his ancient dioccfe another form of
recantation, with which the pvefent arch
bishop of Rouen (M. de Cambaceres) was
not fatisfied. He demanded of his priests
a different recantation, which was refuf
ed. He then declared that he would not
be received b} them in his cathedral, hut
those who were in the cathedral deter
mined to remain there. M. de Camba
ccres called upon the prefett to expel them,
which was done ; but as this faft was
known at Paris, an order of the second
consul (Cambaceres) was dispatched with
all diligence, to put the conftitutionalifts
in pollcffion of the cathedral, and every
endeavour has been made to keep these cir
cumstances from the knowledge of the
■ firft consul, whom it is feared they would
1 extremely irritate.

LONDON, May 17,
[From our correjpondent at Hamburgh. ]
** Accounts have reached Vienna ot the
defeat of the Prince of Wallachia, by Paf
fawan Oglou, and of an almost general
infurrefticn in the European poffeflions ot
the Grand Seignor.
“ The accounts from Conflantinoplc
ftatca general rumour in the higher circles
of the Turkilh capital, that a body of
Ottoman troops had been worsted by the
Beys, and that in consequence of the pre
sent diffracted (late of that country, the
British forces (HU remaining in Egypt, had
been solicited by the Turkilh cabinet not
to quit Alexandria. Should certain e
vents in contemplation take place, there
is a great probability that Great-Britain
will endeavour to fecurc to herfelf the pof
feflion of that important country,
“ The latest advices from Berlin, of
the 4th inllanr, state, that the king and
queen of Prufiia are to meet the emperor
Alexandria, of Ruflia, at Memcl, on the
1 oth of next month. With regard to the
fylfem to be adopted in the plan of indent
nities, there ftillexifl material differences
between the cabinet* of Vienna and Ber
lin ; and the emperor of Rufiia it is sup
posed, has adorned the office of arbiter be
tween the two courts, by mutual cor.fent."
We arc adored by a private letter, that
a few day ago {we believe on the sth) an
attempt was made at the parade on the
life of Buonaparte. The letter further
states that the whole particulars of this
affair were sent to the Englilh govern
ment ; and probably they were brought
by Mr. Mandeville. We have no further
information by the letter; but from other
channels we hear, that generals Angereau,
Maffena and Bernadotte, have been or
dertd to reside 100 leagues from Paris.
The Chief Consul has directed the railing
of a corps of honor, confiding of 1800
men to protect his person. Sunday fc’n
night one of the regiments refufed to
consecrate their colpurs, faying, they had
conquered without the abidance of the
Pope, and would not accept of it. They
have been marched from Paris also. The
■
new ecclesiastical eftabiilhment meets with
many difficulties, and the conflitutional
bishops of 1791 are no where well receiv
ed,—At Stralburgh, bifliop Saurine, was
put in fear of his life, the people calling
for the cardinal de Rohan. Something of
the fame kind has occurred at Befancon.
At Marlines, it is said, the people have
publicly prayed for the conversion of the
Pope, regarding him as a heretic !

The Paris papers of Thursday last,
which we received last night, inform us,
that a proportion has been submitted to
the government, for recruiting the army,
and for raising, by the mode of conscrip
tion, ,60,000 men, who are to replace a
fifth of the army, absent on leave, or un
fit for service ; sixty thousand more by a
similar conscription, as a force of reserve,
in order to complete the army to a war
eftabiilhment, when it (hall be neceflary.
M. de Calonne yesterday set off to Pa
ris. As he has the reputation of having
flatted the revolution, Buonaparte, we
fuppafe, wilhes him to be in at the death.
Every one, it seems, may return, bat
those who have claims to Buonaparte's
throne.

The style of Buonaparte is to be alter

CF LOUISIANA.
In the debate in the British house of
commons, on the 13th May, ISO 2, on
the cjueftion for taking into consideration
the definitive treaty between Great-Bri
tain and the French republic, Spain and
Holland, Mr. Windham, alluding to the
ceilion of Louisiana to France, said, “The
power of the French in America gave
them an immense influence over the Am
merican states.” “We are, “said he,
“ perfectly aware what a growing power
the United Stares of America is, and if
they are placed in the hands of France,
surely there is more than occasion to be
jealous.
Lord Hawkefbury, in reply to the a
bove part of Mr. W’s. fpecch, said,
*’ An event which is said to have chang
ed the nature of our negociation, is the
ceilion of Louisiana to France. On this
point I would beg to call the attention of
the house that I do not mean to confide:

was given to the former to return to their
country. He added that the goodwill
of the French government on the one
parr, in permitting their return, and the
difpoiition of England on the other, m
concurring with the fame objeft, was the
llrongeil proof of the mutual desire ox tbs
two countries tocherifli those pacific sen

to the war.
A letter from Paris, dared the lafl of j
April, observes, that Buonaparte wtflies
to fix the consulate in his family, by nam- it
ing his brother jofeph; and to employ j
his influence in procuring his eleftion, to
the exclusion of Moreau, the fucceflbr to
the consulate long unce designated by the
public voice. It is even said, char it was
for the completion 01 this purpose that
Joseph Buonaparte was withheld irom ac
cepting the embafly to England. The
