[Here follows the outer in which the procejfon •was to proceed through the t efpc dive quays, of Paris.] Ordinance of Police, concerning the two Proc lamations of the Scnatus Conjuha , of the Jecond andfourth of Augufl , 1802. Paris, Aug. 12, 1802. The counfellor of itate, prefect of po lice, orders as follows : Art. 1. On Sunday the 15th August, at seven o’clock in the morning precisely, the two fenatus confulta of the lecond and fourth instant, shall be iolemnly proclaim ed in Paris, in all the rural communes of the department of the Seine, and in thole of the Sevres, Meudon, and St. Cloud, in the departments of Seine and Oise. 2. On the said 15th of August, the streets, keys, places and bridges, (hall be swept and cleaned before fix in the morn ing. 3. The streets, keys, places, bridges, and promenades, fliall be watered. Eve ry inhabitant fliall conform to this order, as far as he is concerned. 4. On the said 15th of Augufl, the in haoitants of Paris fliall illuminate the front of their honfes. 5. For the fafety of citizens, no carri ages fliall be permitted in the streets of Paris, from eight in the evening of the preceding day, until the morning of the day fucceediog, except the carriages pro ceeding to the palace of the government, the couriers of the mail, and the diligen ces. 6. The commiflaries of police fliall ftriCtly carry into execution the regula tions which prohibit the firing of fufees, petards, hoetes, bombs, and other fire works, in the streets. promenades, public places, courts, and gardens, or from the windows of houses. 7. The present ordinance fliall be printed, ported up, and fenttotlie fub prefeCts of Sceaux and St. Denis, to the mayors of the rural communes of Sevres, Meudon, and St. Cloud, in the depart ment of Seine and Oise, to the coinmif faries of police, to the peace officers, and to the oveifeers of the prefeftures, in or der that each, as far as he is concerned, may carry it into execution. The general commandant of the firft military division, the general commandant of the place rie Puns, and the chiefs of the feleC! legion of gendarmerie, and of the national gendarmerie, are re quired to be in readiness with a strong force, in case it ihould be wanted. According to a letter from the minister of the general police, those accused of emigration who have not received the be nefit of the amnesty, cannot quit their habitual residence without having obtain ed his special permission. Those who have been admitted the benefit of the amnesty may obtain passports from the proper authorities to travel in the interior; but the Minister mufl be informed of it, as well as the Prefect of the department where the parties reside; neither the one nor the other can in any case come to Paris without the special authority of the Minister. The fete of to-morrow on account of the three consuls beir.g-appointed for life, is likely to be very splendid, if we may judge by the immense preparations for fire-works, illuminations, and all kinds of public amusements, which are to be offered gratis. The Pont Neuf, the place de la Concorde, and the towers of Notre. Dame, are to be grandly lighted up, and everv house is to be illuminated through out Paris. LONDON, Augufl 16. The Moniteur denies that there exists at present any disposition to attack the in dependence and the territory of the Ot toman Porte. But if the contrary be the faCt, who would expeCl that it Ihould be avowed before the blow could be struck ? Buonaparte’s Egyptian expedition fliews his sentiments as strongly at lead as the paragraph in the Moniteur can be sup posed to do. If, however, France willies to proteC! the independence of Turkey ; it is natural to suppose that all French of ficers and French influence will quickly be recalled from the camp of Paffwan Oglou. It is not for the happiness or for the liberty of France to have extei*ded her territory as done by the revolutionary wars. She has made an empire not a republic; and bartered internal freedom for an empty name.—These bad politics, the end of which is mifehief, are not yet o»,t of faftiion in France. Buonaparte, before he went to Egypt, had fixed his eyes on Turkey as a fubjeCt of revolutionary experiment. We have now under our eye a Book of Travels, written by a coun tryman of Buonapare, a Corsican, named ; Stephanopoli, who declares that he was sent on purpole to the Morea by Buo- < naparte, to reconnoitre and prepare the ; elements of revolution in that quarter. ; The book is 3 foolilh one, to be sure, and the spies Tent, egregious idiots: but the man exprefaly declares that he was sent from the army of Italy by Buonaparte on an Apostolic million of this kind, and if he tells a fallhood, his book deserves a para graph as much as any thing that has hitherto excited the resentment of the Moniteur. It Buonaparte, however, has changed his opinion, and really willies to keep peace in Europe, we are very glad to hear it. Sure we are that the French nation can have no just motive in going to war, whatever Snifter views its rulers may have. August 19. Stock, as our readers mull have seen by our daily lift, have fluctuated much for some time. The general bearing of the market has bee# again!! the bulls in ieiling the Omnium account this day, from a general apprehenfton of failures, from the enormous loss that has been sus tained by them. At our usual hour of reporting the prices, things did nos look lo ill as many expeCted ; but the com plexion was such as to keep down the Omnium, which began at 8 per cent, dis count, and fluctuated to 70. We have received Paris journals to the 16th inst. On the preceding day, Sun day last, solemn Te Deum was chaunted in the church of Notre Dame of Paris, and in all those of the diocese, to return thanks for the fenatus confulta of the 12th and 13th of this month. The lame day a lolemn fcrvice for returning thanks was performed in the temple of the pro telfants at Paris, rue St. Thomas du Lou vre, in conlequence of the proclamation of the fenatus confultum, for organizing the cOnftitution. Thel'e journals present little die refpeCting France itlelf; but some of the articles from other countries are irterefting. It appears by the ac counts from Switzerland, that in the pet ty cantons, instead of acquiescence and fubmillion to the new order of things, a formal infurreCtion is organizing there again!! the central government, and it is very uncertain whether it will be pollible to make them receive the new constitu tion. The instigator of these commo tions is the late Landamman Reding. It appears that he lias been long labouring on the executions of his vast plan of coun ter-revolution, and for this purpose has taken advantage of the absence of the French troops. He began by calling an assembly of his confidential friends at Gerlau. In this meeting, which took place on the 24th of last month, it was resolved to convoke, on the 17th of Au gust, the general assemblies of the people of the three petty cantons; to oblige all the public functionaries to resign their places ; to induce the old rnagiltrates ol 1798 to resume their functions; to form a confederation between the three can tons; and to colled all the men xapable of bearing arms. At Schwitz, Reding adored the inhabitants that Buonaparte, whom he chose to denote by the follow ing words, the Man who makes Europe tremble, had given him bis word that the canton might constitute itfclf as it pleased. The re-eftablifliment of the ancient order of things was proposed. Reding was then appointed Landamman, and all the ancient authorities were restored. In ma ny places the pastoral letter of the bifliop of Constance, which declared that there was nothing in the new constitution con trary to religion, was torn from the church doors on which it was palled. The full powers for the extraordinary deputation of the empire have been print ed and published at Ratilbon. The fol lowing is a copy of them : General full powers of the empire , for the deputation charged with the, discussion of the points which remain to he regulated for completing the peace. “ The Eieftors, Princes, and States of the Holy Roman Empire,having judged it proper to exercise, by any extraordinary deputation, the right which belongs to them of concuring in the difeuffion of the obje&s which still remain to be fettled for completing the peace; and having for this purpose eieCled and nominated in the col lege of electors—Mentz, Bohemia, Saxony and Brandenburgh ; and in that of princes —Bavaria, the Grand Master of the Teu tonic Order, Wurtemburg and Hesse Cas tle ; the said deputed states are fully au thorifed by these presents in name of the Germanic Body, and with the consent of his Imperial majelty, in his quality of supreme chief of the empire, to fend as soon as pollible, their lub-delegates to the Imperial city of Ratilbon, which has been considered a» the molt convenient place, to examine, difeufs, and regulate, with the imperial minister plenipotentiary, in concert with the French government, and paying attention to the conclufum of Oc tober 2d of last year, ratified by his imperial majesty, the points reserved by the sth and 71b articles of the treaty of Luneviile, by a particular convention ; in consequence what fliall be difeufed, concluded, and signed by the said deputies, either by all, or in case of abduce, licknefs or non appearance of any of them, by the rest, with the imperial minister, tnuft, within a determinate time, be ratified, ageed to, and inviolably observed by the whole em pire.” TTe ral d, ~ August a, WEDNESDAY, October 13, 1802.

On Friday the 17th ult. the Circuit Court of the United States for the diftri«£t of Conne&icut, composed of Judges Wafli ington and Law, was opened in Hartford. After calling the docket, the Court ad journed till next day. At the opening of the Court on Saturday, the Defendants in two aftions which were continued from the April term, pleaded in fubfiance. That the cases were instituted before the Circuit Court of the second Circuit of the United States holden at New-Haven in April last, for the Diftrift of Connedlicut, composed of the Hon. Egbert Benson, Oliver Wolcott, and Samuel Hhehcock who in purfuauce of a law of Congress palled in February 1801, had been appointed Judges of that Court, and whose commidions, having never been vacated, were now in force, and that the a&ions were no v depending before the Court composed of the said Benson, Wolcott and Hitchcock ; and therefore the Defendants prayed the said Judges Wafliington and Law to take no further recognizance of the aftions. In consequence of this objeftion to the legal authority and existence of the Court, all the bufinels of the Court was continued. The pleas to the jurifdi&ion were-not argued, but by agreement of the parties were continued to the next term. It is understood that similar questions will be railed, and probably decided, id the other diftri&s, during the present circuit. Noth ing so interfiling to the people of the United States has occurred lince the exist ence of our government. If brought before the court the question tnuft be determined, whether one dirtimft, independent branch of our coiutuuiion has not been madly facrificed at the fluine of Democracy. The effect of this deciiion either way, involves considerations of the bigheft moment to the future concerns of the country. Exthtfl of a letter from Havre, dated July 29, to a gentleman in New- York. “The marketsof this place are extreme, ly dull, and I much fear there will be very heavy losses ou the late shipments from the United States. There is now in port upwards of 40 tail of Americans. No sale for (hips ; nor freights to !>e ob tained.—We have near 20,000 barrels of Flour at market, and dull lale ?.t 40 francs. The late additional duty on Cotton, Coffee and Sugars, mult prove highly injurious to the American commerce.” s^caaßanaisiKaismaaß DIED, On Sunday evening lalt, Mrs. Jane Scott, wife of Mr. Samuel Scott, of this City, in her 45th year of her age.
