'I be Parliament of Paris fcfiimed its funftiors on W'ednefday Lift, for the firft time fince the latter end of May laft, when their properties were ful'peiJded. There bas been no public fummons, but it is generally prefumed they have not met without the concurrence of the King. The firft aft of their official proceedings was to fummon feve- ral officers of the guards doing duty in Paris, and likewife fome tnembets of the police, to accennt fof the milttsry violences committed on the public for fume time part ; and particularly for their outrages againii the mob, about a fortnight lince, be- fore M. de Laaioigoon's houfe, when upwards of fifty perfons were ftabbeW by the bayonet. M. .> Qrofne, the Lietenant de Foliar denied, his knowledge of any people being killed during his command—the anfwer was taken down and the ful^jcft to be reconfidered. Two other officers refufed the fummons and would not ap pear. They were ordered to be broke. Jhe deputaUon frgm theftat«$ of ^rittanny withtbc Nobles I. 3- 4- 5* lately releafed from their exile, waitetl on the a/Tembly to coB* gritulate them on tbeir reftoration. The Parliament very pro perly api^oglzed for not receiving them, leaft the acclamation might occafion a riot. This was readily oonfented to, and they witlidrew. His Majefty's edlA for holdinf a bed of jaftice, has not jet - made its appearance. ^ The mobs ftill continue parading the ftreets of Paris, though not fp numerous, and without committing any violence—the guards are all withdrawn, and iliere is once more a prolpeft of itranquHity .and good order, ^ The States General certainly meet on the 7th of Janizary. No public bufinefs in the Courts of France can yet go on till the King has puhliihed his declaration for the Provincial Par- , liaments 10 refume iheir authority. It is rather wondered, now" that a prefident is appointed, what can occafion the delay.—— Nothing but a firm reliance on the Minifter would allow fuch a delay, witliout much inquietude.. The King and Queen of Francis have not yet made their ap pearance in public fince the accommodations with the Parlia ments, but they are expefted this week. By letters by the laft Dutch mail, it is the better opinion in Amfterdam, that Sweden will driwl out of the war as foon as pofiible. The policy of that coprt for entering fo immediately and decifiveJy againft the hitherto rather pi oblematlsal, is now feen through, and is as follows : That the Porte dreading the naval preparations of Ruffia, had made a private treaty with Sweden, fora coofiderable fum of money in hand, and other contingencies, in cafe of a fuccefsful war,’ to cheek the progreft of the Ruffian fleet, which they themfelves were not prepared to meet, as well as to give their land forces a greater fcope to aft in. This has in a degree fuc- ceeded in rbfpeft to the intent of the treaty ; but the Senate, as Well as the people of Sweden, not being fatisfied with this mea- furc, which they fay was undertaken without the confent of the former, it is iheuglit the King will be obliged to accede to that opinion. * • Our readers may rely on this information as certain, that the King of Swedenbas fued for a peace with Ruffia, througli the intermediation of the King of Prolfia. Though his future ob- jefts are trullrated, his original intention has been fully anfwer- «!, namely, to make a clivd fion of the Ruffian force, and pre vent their fleet from failing to tlit Mediterranean this year. An evening paper of yefterday fays* “ A letter from Stral- fund pofitively afierts, that the Swedifh army, without the con- ftnt of the King, took upon them to lend a deputation to the Grand Duke of Ruffia at Wyburg, to treat of peace in the name of thb whole nation of Svveden. Yeftciday morning fome difpatches were received from Ham burgh, that the regency of that^ city had received public notice ‘ from the court of Denmark, ta provide, with'all poffible expe dition, its quota of two thoufand feamen to man the Danifh men of war, now fitting out at Copenhagen, and juft ready for fi a, if that complement were afforded. It is now according to thefi accounts, pniF-l all denial, that Denmark will finally join in all its forces to aiu the Ruffians, and that an iiopor snrriiptuie with Sweden is at no great diftance. The regency o! Uamburgh is ab.out toc mply with the demand of the Danifh government wiiich will he vfry foon fu inlled, '1 he vicinity in which the Turks and Auftrians nowr.rc, ren ders It impoffibic that thecanipaign Ihould clofe without a dtei five aftion between them. KING r/SWEDEN’S P.EPLY ;r rie DECLARATION cf the H.MPRESS ef RUSSIA. In th«r laft foreign gazette is the King of Sweden's anfwer to il’.e Empreffc’* declaration, laying tfiawholc blame of the war to herconduft. His Majefly feems to lay a particular ftrefs, that RuflTn had been Icnr mrditatirig a blow on his pofTeffions in Finland, and in order to he well informed of the ftrength of tlum, and to wean the aiTcftion of the inhabitants from their f..\creign, had bribed one of his r Ific-rs who h-nd a hrije command in that ctomry to enter Into her fcrvice. That befides, towards the end of the year lyhd, Fier Majefly employed one of her general officers, under the pretence of travelling through his country, to reconnoitre all the principal ports and garrifons, whofe fitua- tions expofed them to an attack. That t!ic fecret dtfignsof her court were at length difeovered, by the minutenefs and attenti on he obferved in fount ing the inhabitants of their realdlfpofi- lion and good will towards their fovereign. That if the Em- prtfs’s intentions were not at tliat time put Into execution, it was becaufe her journey to Cherfon prevented it, but that the moment ef her return, a cabal was endeavoured to be fomented in Finland by her Minifter, which but too plainly marked her dcfigns. Alter fome other matters of complaint, which the King of Sweden confiders were direfted againft his government, he con cludes this anfwer in the following terms : ^ In the midfl of ail thefe vexatious profecutions, and although his Majefly is unacquainted of wKit is become of his Minifter at Peterfburg, he ftill willing to confefs his inclination for peace, and is willing to accept of any honorable conditions which the Emprtf, may think fit fo offer, provirled always that his Majef- . ty fhall be affured, and fccure of obtaining a fure and lading p^ace, at the fame time, for the Ottoman Porte.
