PiOSION, Auguft23. Paris papers to June 27, have been rec-. iv.--l by Capt. Rice, at Salem, from Bordeaux. The contents are not very inter Ring.

In the Italian ! Kingdom, the Roman code of laws has | been fupercedrd by the Napoleon code. By the following paragraph it appears] that the predicted change in the affairs.of the little republic of Lucca, was about to take place. Some of the llipulaiions of the authorities of Lucca would dt serve commendation, were there not reason to believe them mere baits, to induce the people to coiifent to the surrender of their independence. The following cn count of Lucca is exlrafl til fro n Morse’s Go net leer. “ Lucca, a republic of Italy, lying on the Tuscan Sea.—lt is twenty miles in length, and ten in breadth.

KNOXVILLE, Augufty. Extraft of a letter from a gentleman of the frst respectability , now in the Chickasaw natirn, to his friend in this auuty, dated Juy 25, 1805. _ “ On the 23d inil. the commissioners of the United States concluded a treat) with tb.i3 nation, by which they have ob tained a relinquifliment of the Chicka saw’s claim to the lands within the fol lowing limits, viz.—“ Beaming on the left bank of the Ohio, where the pi efent Indian boundary adjoins the fame, | thence down the left bark of the Ohio, jto the Tenneflte river, thence up the [ main channel of the Tenneffce river to I the mouth of Duck river, thtnee up the left bank of Duck river to the Columbi an h ghway, or road leading from Nafh vilje to Natches, thtnee along the said road to the nuge dividing the waters running into Duck from those running into Euffaloe, thence eatlwardly along laid riJge to the great ridge dividing the waters running into main Tenneffce from those runnin.’ into BufLloe, near the main fouric of Buffaloe river, 1 hence in a direct line to the Gnat TcnnefTee, near the Chickasaw Old Fields, or eaflern point of the Ch'ckafaw claim, on that river, thence northwardly to the “great ridge dividing the waters tunning into Tetineffee from those running into Duck, so as to include all the waters running in to Elk river, thence along the top of said ridge to the place of Beginning.”— llefctving a tract of one mile square ad joining to and below the mouth ot Duck, on Tcnneffie, for the use of one of the chiefs ; for which the United States are ; to pay as soon as the treaty is ratified, 22,000 dollars during the life of and for thculeofhis majesty the present king.” The refpcdlable lource from which this information is received, does not admit a doubt of its authenticity. From Belr’s Weekly Messenger. THE PRESENT POLITICS OF EUROPE. OUR readers wiil find under our fo reign head, fome particulars of the pro grids which Bonaparte is making iu Ita ly, not by arms, but by the cheaper methods of artifice and intrigue. It was plain, from the firft, that the {weep ing title of king of Italy, was not attained for nothing—and the name con tinues every day tobelefs empty t Sar dinia is extindt ; Genoa is incorpora ted; and Tuscany and Nrplcs, pufhtti upon their frontiers, can only hope to csitt during the pleasure of ttie emperor. The Pope, in his ccchliaftical domains, is a prifouer out upon bail, and mud furrtndtr liiml-.if and his territories, up on the mandate of his matter ; whiilt, by the poffeffioa of Switzerland, and the great avenues of Italy, Auttria 13 effectually cut off from ail access to Ve nice. The plea of the Genoefe, for incorpo rating themselves with France, is some what plaulible—“ Blockaded in our ports by the tyranny of the Engltlh, though neutrals, we are punished as emits, and can no longer fublilt by that commerce which is the only means of our support. When the strong oppress the weak, their only refuge is 111 the protec tion ol the ftrouger. Excluded from the leas, we are and; firous of a continental connection, and, in uniting ourfelvcs with France, we (hail be secure as mem bers of her empire, and partake of its glories and its deilinies.” A national poll is then set ou foot ; and by a vote of its population, Genoa furrendeis herfelf to France. Without any nice examination of thefc argu ments, Bonaparte accepts the surrender ; a senate is convened, speeches and com pliments are bandied on both tides, a conllitution is sorted out from his travel ling portfolio, the guns lire, the empe ror is proclaimed, and the meft com mercial province of Italy, with the moll impregnable city, and the population of a million, is afugned and delivered up to Fiance, in half an hour. W’hat impreflion is this likely to make on the continent. Ruflta has never diffcmbled ; (he has fuf£;:ently expres led her resentment oa the old Lore, and now that Bonaparte has chalked on it, it is not likely to fubliae. The case of Auttria, as we have observed, is not unproved by this event. In adding to his mealure of iui'ult and eucroachment, Bonaparte is certainly adding to his te cunty ; iu case of a rupture, he is saved the trouble of conquering Genoa; it is only to be feared, that he may proceed lo far in this progress of peaceable ac quisition, that there will uot be room to make a (land 111 Italy, or any where clfe. in the event ot a continental war, which is as certain as any thing of fpe us here to take fouiC vie j f of thf seve ral powers* Tbi. ft* nation of the court of Vienna is drangely i quivocal ; its politics for this fome time pall have been rr.yftevious ; with the appearance of avetiion to the British cause, it is said, by nice obser vers, to be on the eve of coalition, and and with the fltew of friendfhip for France, it is believed that the sword is about to be drawn. The fufpieious conduft of Austria has an excuse from her fuuation ; the flighted movement of hostility brings an army upon her, the firft onset of which she is unequal to resist. Unable, but by open and tedious solicitation, to rouse the German slates, (he drlpairs of this affiflance til! too late, and surrounded by powers, who, tho’ involved in a common interest to rend the encroachments of France, are yet unwilling to truckle to defpotiim to lengthen the r pan of their exiflence, or jealous of any confederacy by which j Austria may profit, flic hesitates even to ncgociate fir fear of detection, and is unripe for any ir.de*pendent or open ac tion —That intomparable body ot troops, which at the leginning of the late war, had given herfo decided a superiority, ] po longer exits in the fame ptrfons. If! her troops hate derived advantages from along series cf aflive services, these ad vantages were equally on the fide of lire enemy. Fier armies have so often been beaten, that it is no wonder if a fort of a weariness and cltfpnir have crept among them, after such an infinite train cf un rewarded fatigues, when they have fetn that so many valiant exploit* have been ; only productive of difatter. Many of ] her bdl generals have retired, or have been difgrared ; her dominions, though i large, are not equal to any extenfice J subsidies ; her population, though nil-; rorrous, is exhaulted and dispersed. j These circurnftance3 have, probably, I made her more dilatory and cautious than j usual. But no'withftanding, Austria | has a (Length somewhat unaccountable and peru'iar to herlelf. More defi.-ieut in pecuniary resources thtin any other great power in Europe, she is better a ble to subsist and do coniiderable things without them. By long habit, the whole (late is formed to its necessities, and the fuhjeCt is more ready to fuppiy free quarters, and submit to military li cence than any other. The country i. abundantly fruitful in all parts, and whiift the war is carried on near home, an arbitrary government, operating on so extensive an ofcjeCl, can harJiy fail of such rtfources, as mull serve an Austrian army; which is (till paid as Tacitus deferibes the troops of the ancient Ger mans to have been ; ‘ they have a phr.ti fut table in lieu of pay.’ Though flow in her operations, Aus tria makes amends by her perfevcrance ; if flic does not play the game with fuf ficient spirit, she never throws up her cards; and though by an error common to many courts, but particularly fata! to 1 ttiis, she is accustomed to interfere too much and too minutely in the operations of the campaign, there is reason to be lieve that the prudeiceof the Archduke, under whose guidance her armies at pre sent are, has effectually cured her of this folly. By the celerity of the movements of France, advantagei are gained over Aus tria b;-f )re (lie cai regulate her resources or n utter her troojs ; but it has always i been the design of Auttria that the is sue of the war fnould rather arise from the general result and concurrence of all the operations, gradually producing 2 solid though a flow advantage, than from the effedt of a bold, quick, and masterly stroke. Ruflia entirely governed by a pacific sovereign, and by aged, and therefore cautious ministers, :s wholly occupied in hufbandir'g her resources, and bringing into account hervaft extent of territory. Tlie sphere of her ambition is not the fou’.h of Europe ; her object of zggran d lenient, if any, is on the fide of the eatt. With regard to the European po litics, she proposes but one end—securi ty ; and therefote has not yet taken, nor will take any part than what is ne- Ceffary to this aim. It is thus that she | has hitherto preferred counteradlion to | open force : bue fliouid Auttria, for felf j defence, be compelled to renew ihe war, i Ruflia, from the fame motive, though 1 not in the fame degree, will come for ward to afiift her. This assistance, how ever, will be limited by her original po licy, and to her own immediate interclt ; Ihe will not fuff, r Auttria to be further weakened ; but neither on the other hand will she attempt an extenfrve reco very of the former conquests of Bona parte. With regard to England, such an ally as this will bealmoft ineffectual. PrufTu, nowon the edgeofthe French territory, with a ministry who already cor.lider Bonaparte as more their matter than their own sovereign, with the name (of a French ally, is almott as effectually a vice-royalty of France, as Holland it_ felf. In refpe£t to the northern powers, Sweden appears riftng to that degree of consequence and strength, as to be ad vancing into the ftatiou from which Prus sia is rapidly receding. In any event of a Ihock to the French power, whether 1 culatioa can be, it naturally suggests to by defeat, or infurrettion in fome of the numerous provinces, the German powers would hud a rallying port in Sweden, and ihe might again become as in the davs of Guflavus. Denmark is not so lo;t 10 the slate of its own interclt, as may at firft light appear. Taistiate e vidently only rests in her present torpor tiil the commencement of action by fome great power.
