POSTSCRIPT
LATEST FROM FRANCE.
Baltimore, Feb. 10.

The schooner Kemp, capt. Barton from Nantz, with a valuable cargo to Mr. George Williams, arrived at Annapolis yesterday. She sailed from Nantz on the 25th of December.

The Kemp came into the Bay at 12 o'clock on Saturday night through the British squadron at anchor inside the Capes, unobserved by them, and could distinctly hear the centinels speak. Captain Barton came up to the city last evening, and has very politely favored us with a file of Paris papers to the 21st of December.

The emperor Napoleon arrived at the Palace of the Thuilleries at eleven o'clock on the night of the 18th of Dec. Thus are dissipated all the idle reports of his death, of his having committed suicide, and so forth, fabricated to gratify the zeal of the friends of his belligerent adversaries. His arrival at Paris was most pompously announced in the French papers. We are inclined to think that the twenty-ninth bulletin, which is not in our file, concludes the campaign; that the remarks of the 'Paris Journal' refer to it, and that the 'grand army' are in winter quarters in the neighborhood of Wilna. The translation of that bulletin published in the Norfolk Ledger appears rough. Amer.

PARIS, DEC. 20.

His majesty the Emperor arrived at the palace of the Thuilleries at 11 o'clock on the night of the 18th. The approach of his happy return was announced during that day by vollies of artillery.
