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.”

FEDERAL COURT.
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.”
