All pert ons that have been fummoned to the ceremony by fpecial letters from his Msjelly, and who defire to be admitted to fign the procefs verbal, are invited to attend at the office of the Secretary of 3tate this day (Tuefday, Wednefday, Friday, and Saturday, be tween ten and four o'clock).

The tall letters from Bayonne announce, that an embargo has been laid nn all the Spanilh vefrels in that port, to prevent them from falling into the hands of the Englifb. The fame letters fate, that a fimi lar order has berm jailed in all the other ports of Spain. It is alto mentioned in them, that the Spa n& merchants have been required, by a Royal Zia date, to make a declaration of what they were indebt ed to the Englifh. The letters which have been fince received from Spain, confirm the intelligence that the Engldh Envoy to his Catholic Malta'', pofitive ly quitted Madrid on the tath of November. A telegraphic difpatch received from Calais on the toth initaiit, at three o'clock, brings intelligence that the enemy had endeasourcd, on the preceding night, to blow up Fort Rouge, by means of a fire. film, but that the explofion took place without doing any mifchief. Mc. I 2.—On Saturday laf, the Deputation from the army, the navy, the gourds of the Louvre, and the National Guards, amounting to 7000 men, atruhbled in the Great Gallery of the klonore, under the or ders of Matfhal MIJIAT, Governor of Paris. The Chief Matter of the Ceremonies having informed the Emperor, that the Martha' had affctubled all the de putations, his Majefty went to the gallery, preceded by Marfhal Mow., by his Imperial Highnefs the Contiable, and followed by his Iffiperial Highnefs Prince Joss, H 1 and by the Chief Dignitaries, and the Great Officers of his Houfrhnld. The Emperor pallid along the ranks. of the Deputations, which er. tended from the Gallery of Diana to the Hall of Antiquities, by which his Malta) , went out. As he patted through the tanks, he (poke to each Deputa tion as it was prefented to him by the Conflable.— The Emperor entered into cons edition with all the warriors, received their petitions, talked over their former exploits, and their pi etent fit nation. Nothing could have been more novel, more inblime, or better calculated to excite entbutiafm, than the view of this, the reprcfentative body of an armed nation, af fen:b!cd amongtt the monuments t I the arts of all the world. Amidft this numerous crilellion of ce lebrated pleura, the sinhleit, and that which attraa ed the general attention, was the picture of our as , is+ and its glorious Chief. picture After having reviewed them, the Emperor took his fiatinn in the middle of the Great Gallery, and addrcfled the Deputations in the fublime language, and with the animated tone ela foldier grown old in Camps. That %nice f o familiar to thole heroes, ex cited an enthuflafna in the minds, and touched the hearts of all with the deepea fenfibility. The Emperor haeirr , returned to his apartments, feared Li.:telf on the drone, furronnded by his Mi nifiers and Great Officers. The Senate was on the right, the Council of State on the left of the throne. The army, with Martha! Musa r at its head, having been introduced by the Grand Matter of the Cere monies, and prefented by the Confiable, defiled be fore the throne. DEC. 14.—0 n the tzth inn. the Bata ian Deputa thn had the honour to wait upon the Pape : they were received by his Miners in the molt friendly manner. Not (peaking the French language fluent ly, he teflihed his tatisfainion at being add:cad in tliln by the Ambafrador Sex own tack, and hc:d 4 lung converfation with him. When this was fluslhed, the Pope gave his bletling to the Deputation, vilich thereupon took leave of his Holinefs. Dec. Iy.—The lan letters from Vienna date, that General bias:, tte French AmbalLtdor to the Su. hlime Po:u., has again deferred his departure horn C , nitantinople. In that capital they hoped that the good undemanding between France and the Porte would no t be in:err uplcd. The different depir.itions of the Fundii - naries or. deicd to the capital lrom all parts of France, to wittier. the atignlt Ceremony of the Confecratii.n and Coe...nation, having each in their lutu beta prefented to their Imperial Makdies, from whom they reedy cd the mod gracious rece p t i on , d o not appear i n. dined to return to their relpedire departments, with. nut having obtained a firnilar fainiur from the new Pointer. In Ge, the Prefects of the Departments t , hn are at Park, having tequeiled an audience of their Imperial Highnerfcs, a cinifielerable number of thok officers were indented on the tath intl. to the Ptinces JosspN an,] Loots. Many of thole Prefects were accompanied nn their prefentatinn by their Stilt Prefects, and other ~f ricers belonging to their velvet. titre &pat tments. It was at the Palace of the Lux emboorg, which is dellined for Ptince 10? F H. that :lid public audience ; which wa. fdlowed ii . a fecond, given the day before yeflerday to the Cosifcrvatire S:n.. , te. On the 2_d, the Senate, after having prefenred their homage to the Emprels, went with the fame intentions to Prince Joseries, who afterwards received the Archbillops and Bilhops. the Prefect., Sub Preled4, and Ptefi. dents of the Elaloral Colieges of the Departments and Cantons. who had nut yet been admitted to an Audience. Asa cairn fureeeds by degrees to the hurry linen ! &tit upon great feftivah, every !lin begins to return . linto ha accuitorac4 welt', and cacti authority re. fumes its labours, fubjea, however, to momentary interruptions. Among the Colleges which have al ready reformed their labours, we reckor the Council of State. Its firtt fitting finee the Coronation took place on the t tth inflant ; it continued three hours, and the Emperor prefided. The Criminal Tribunals were taken into conficlemtioc, and it is underaood that the code which relates to them, will this winter be one of the principal fubjeCts of the deliberations of the Council of State, who will devote two fittings weekly to it. It is thought that this code will be prefented in books to the Tribunate and the Legifiative Body, as was done in refpea of the civil code, in order that the fitting of the Legiflature, which is to take place immediately, fhould not terminate before the French 'nation than enjoy at leaft a part of thefe new labours. The Minifter Secretary of State, having cooled it to be announced, that the memorandum (or paw verbal), of the ceremony of the confecration and co tonaticm, was depofited at his honfe. for the Cigna tures of the Deputies of the Departments, the crowd WAS fo great on the t nth init. that it was necelary to wait at lean an hOur in the brat room before admit tance could be obtained into that where it lay. The Prefidents of the Elettoral Colleges, on figning it, received a medal defigned to pirpettate the memory of this great event. The other funltionaries were apprized, that they were to receive it from the Mi n/tier of the Department in which their duties placed them. The medal which was diftributed on this oc- cation is of laver, about the fize of a five fierce piece (at. ad.) ; the imprefion is the fame as that on the fmall medals which were &Chanted by the Heralds at Arms in the dreets and (quarts. the day after the coronation. Thofe which are intended fur the Mai.' tory Deputations are (mall, but they have been &ruck off in gold. The letters from Calais give the following parti culars of the attack announced by the Telegralik :- 4. The Englio2, under cover of a very thick fog, directed on the night of the Bth ink. &grand Fort Rouge, which protefis the entrance of the port and ' the road of Calais, a fire-chip, which blew up within a thort difiance of the Fort and the jetty head. The explofion was fo great, that Come windows were flut tered in the warn. The Fort, however, fuflained no damage, except that lonic articles in the infide were (hook, or put out of their places. The men who were upon guard were knocked down, but only one of them received a contufinn in the arm. The jetty was a little damaged, but, we have melon to expeß, that they who directed the fire.fhip were worfe treated, as tome mufkctry, and two cannon.fhot were fired on them previous to the explofion. We could alto per ceive frequent knots to recall the tailors employed in navigating this isferadinachine, who, moil probably, have been overwhelmed in the waves." 1 • a • I, a C I t I • 4 1 I I 3 a a et ri at iffl R • d' Ca in 114 I CI of it In 11 ea an tli 23 it CAPTURES HT THE FRENCH.

By letters from Bourdeaux. we have received the ',leafing intelligence, that the French frigate, the City of Milan, had fortunately arrived at Martirtiq•il, and landed coo foldiers there.
