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 ! May rB. 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. May 20. The style of Buonaparte is to be alter ed, as soon as the vote is taken, appoint- | ing him consul for life. He is then to be called “ Consul of the Gauls." The ghofl of republicanism will then be lain in the tombs of the Capets, The sermon preached by the an hbHhop of Tours, on the re-eftabllfliment of reli gion, preached at the Cathedral of Notre Dame, on Eafler Sunday, begins with —- “ Citizen First Consul." 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: itirJl.Tercr.f objcft • ,r> .

Madras of 5:4 guns; and that the evacu. I at ion of Malta by our troops was to take I place on the arrival of the Cdar of 84 I guns, under fir James Sumatez who I was momently expended. I May 25. ■ Tlte Times announce the I arrival of a French comraiuary deputed I to concert with our government a fixed I plan for the commercial relations of the I two countries. M. Otto received yefter. I day, a courier who brought him this in- I telligence. Dispatches have been received from Bengal, announcing that the province of Oude had come under the dominion ot the East-India company, and that the brother of marquis Wellesley is appointed depu- V ty-governor, having under him Meflrs. ' Matthew, Lifie, and Seron. The com pany have granted a petition to the Na bob. Marquis Wellelley was to depart for England on his return from Lucknow, retaining however his situation of go vernor of Bengal. Orders have been lent to his lordfliip for the immediate reduc tion of his guard. The reduction of the army is taking place with the greatest alacrity. Six re giments are about to depart for Ireland, to replace the fciycible and militia corps who are to be diibanded. Mr. Addington proposing yesterday in the house of commons, in the committee of supply, to vote the sum 873> llerling, for the relief of French emigrants and American royalilh, took that oppor- j tunity as announcing that every facility 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 timents which have so happily put an end j 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.
