M ARRET.” Prom a Correfpondmt at Paris. “ Paris, May 18. “ I wrote youlaft poll; since then you mud have seen by the public papers what has occurred in this place. 1 dare fay the people of England talk more about this new usurpation than the great Pariii arts. A quellion naturally arises why one day is he appointed for ten years, and then on the fame day an aft of the government appears, calling upon the people to ap. point him for life ? the reason is this; it was firft proposed in the Senate to appoint ■> him for life, which was much opposed, particularly by Garat, Lanjuinas, and Le -00 Iteux (the Banker), At Jaft it was a -reed to appoint him for ten years. When this resolution of the Senate was carried to Buonaparte, he was in a furi ous paftion, flapped his fingers in Rccde rer’s face, who carried him the news, and said “ you may tell the Senate I (hall order something to be done which will Jonvince them that 1 can do what I .)!cafe,” Immediately on this the aft of Government appeared, signed by Camba cews, who now appeals to the people to cleft Buonaparte for life, w hile he refufed an appeal to the people to save the life of the unfortunate Louis XVI. (Cambacercs was one of the deputies who voted with the mountain party), Carnot has behav ed very manfully on this occafton; he 'lgncJ with only another tribune. No, and added though I am certain of Jign - Ing my pro/cnptlon, The next Act in the Great Drama will be no doubt to au ihorifc him to name his fuccdfor; to oalhier his Tribunes, and his mum allem bly, and the Senate, The thing, in deed, is already set on foot indirectly. The twelve Mayors at Paris h;uve trans mit ted an official letter to the prefect, Rating, that from their observation it was the with of the people of their de partment to be enabled, not only to con. fer the ConfuKhip tor life on Buonaparte, but to authorife him to appoint his fuc ccffor. They propose, therefore, that this quellion (hall be fub.nitted to the people; “Shall Napoleon Buonaparte have the power to nominate his fucccf. for?”—The Prefcft of the Department returned for anfwcr, that he had no pow er to propose the second quellion, which be highly approved. He fays, however, that a great number of votes had already been given, with the amendment fuggelt. cd, and he thinks that the people UiouJd be allowed to vote with that addition, if they think fit! The Senate, according to the Conlhtutiou, could try Cambacercs and Marat for high treason. It is ex. prcfsly said in the conllitution, that no change can take p.are unless it emanates From the Senate. “ A great many arrests take place. A lady by the name of Amtlan has been arrcltcd for secreting Colonel Fournier. There was a rumour of Angcreau and M tftena being arrested, but it is not true . The following two anecdotes delcrvc no tice ; An Liih gemieman of the name of went yrterday to the Prefecture to get his paftport; he was alkcd if he had ligae I the book lor the appointment .of the First Consul! The clerk told him rhat he could not get it unless he signed die book ; a furc way of obtaining votes!! “ An emigrant, just returned, also ap plied to obtain his card o {ftlrete ; he was ' alked the fame quellion, and on his an swering that he was not entitled to it, was answered, that unless he signed it he ihould not have his card!!!. “ Napper Tandy is not allowed to come to Paris.” A letter from Geneva, dated May 7, fays “ I arrived here this morning, af ter a tiny of home days at Lyons, where 1 viewed the raanufaftories. Trade is dull; formerly there were 20,000 looms, now only 10,000 if so many. Popula tion has decreased, from rhe siege and o rher causes, 60,000 fouls. The weavers aid spinners enticed from Lancashire and Sc.) land into France, are not only difTatif. lied with their seducers, but do not earn half the wages they did in England.” D iring the lait week, the printers of Pans have lent to this country numerous fpcclmens of printing in EnellHi, rccom panied by proposals to render the work at less than half the current prices in this ■ country. The duty on paper mu ft pow erfully operate as an encouragement to undertakings of this kind, and mulf con. fequently prove injurious to the printers of this country. Our readers will remember that feme time ago we mentioned thedifeovery made by an American in France, of a Plunging Boar, which could be so conftruded as to remain a good while under water, and that it could even be made ufeful to a col lateral objed of blowing up (hips of war. We did not pay much attention to the thing at the time, but it seems that Lord Stanhope has actually afeertained the pos sibility of reducing the invention to prac tice, and that the veflel could be made to remain seven hours under water; and that 14 pounds of powder, fattened on the keel of a 74, would blow her up, "This certainly would render blockades of pons extremely dangerous, but the difeovery seems to be of a nature to be difeouraged by all civilized nations. It is very currently mentioned in the higher circles, that Mr. Pitt is about to be married to the eldest daughter of Lord Carrington. He is now removing from his prel'ent small ready furnilhed house in St. James's Place, to the house of which he has taken a lease, in upper Baker ftreet, Portman-fquare, close in the new road.

Our furniife on Monday lafl, that *by the latter end of the week we Hiould have little occasion for reports and less for <7- larm,' is in some mcafure verified, by the Board of Health, who, while there Teemed occasion, afliduoufiy attended and made report, as well on Sunday as Mon day ; but yesterday so distant were they from forming one, that they did not even meet to make the enquiry. As for alarm, it only exists in the fear that some thing may happen* At present it is pretty well proved, that the large committee of the Northern Liberties, the industrious one of Southwark, with all the phylici ans, and all the printers, who have not run away, can scarcely find a marked case, unless it may be in the hospital. But notwithstanding, it is hoped our fellow citizens, will enjoy their cool and plea, fant retreats a little longer. WASHINGTON CITY, Auguji 20. ExtraC of a letter from commodore Mor ns to the Secretary of the Navy , dat. ed Gibraltar Bay, June 20, 1802. Yefierday Mr. Simpson, Consul from the United Saates of America to the Court of Morocco, arrived at Gibraltar, from Tangier. The Emperor of Moroc co has forced him from his dominions and declared war against the United States. This circumstance I have made known to the American ministers at London, Paris and Madrid, in order that they might ac quaint the Americans bound to the Medi terranean therewith, recommending that they fiiould rendezvous at Cadiz, where they should receive as frequent convey as our squadron could afford. Should you make the above known to the merchants in America, directing them to repair toC: - diz, before they enter the Strait’s mouth, I will call frequently and take them under convoy. The following is a copy of a Circular notice given by Mr. Simpson, to the Consuls in the principal sea port towns in Europe. Circular, Gibraltar , 2sth of June, xBO2. Sir, I have to acquaint you that the go vernor of Tangiers, in consequence ®f orders from his Imperial majelly, Mully Soliman, has compelled me to retire from that country, his majefiy having declared w'ar against the United States of America. \ou will be plcafed by every means in your power, to make this event known to all the citizens of the United Stares that may be within your dittrirt, and to cau tion all masters of our merchant vefiels to be very careful to avoid the Moors Crui fers* especially in and near the Straits of Gibraltar, where it is highly probable they will have many small armed boats. I am with refpert. Sir, your most obt. servant. (Signed) JAMES SIMPSON. On Saturday last the New. York was put in commiflion, and it is exported that in the course ol two weeks from that day (he will be fully equipped for sea. When she joins the Mediterranean Squadron, Commodore Morris will have under his command the Chefape.ike, the Conftcl'.a. tion, the Adams, the Boston, the New- York and the Enterprise.
