FRANCE. PARIS, JULY 19. Cardinal Yoi lately went from his Bilhopric of Frcicati to ltcmc, to pay a vilit to the new Kt he of SARoM% . I4 and his anguit Spoufe. His Eminence was received by his Majefly with every mark of dillinaion. Tha progreffive diminution of the price of wheat and flour pi educes every where a fenitble dimintt tkn in th-: in-ice of bread. As the revenues of the year t t and two months of the year 12 have been foreflalled, it has been wifhed to iffue a milliard of paper money ; but this with was fe warmly oppoted, that it has been abandoned. Some meafure, therefore, is exped ed to be adopted with refpeel to the poffeffors of national property who have not paid enough. It is intended, it is laid, to give the Grand Of ficers of the Legion of Honour a Cordon Rouge, edged with white and blue. The white and blue will be fo narrow, that it will he impolfible to fee them at any diilanee ; but by this means the tri colour will be preferved in fad; yet the decora tions of our grandees will refemble thofe in ufe in other parts of Europe. A letter from Nantz, under date of the 14th init. gives the following particulars concerning 'loos, 3/11%1T LOVVIEILTURE'S apprehenfion : General I,FCLCIIC being informed of the machi nations of thatCnief, privately difpatched la Creole frigate, on board of which he had put one of his Aides de Camp and Tome troops, for the ptirpofe of being conveyed to Saint Marc : having been landed there they marched towards Gonaive, where To o!s AINT lived; when the houfe was in veiled the Aide de Camp went in, and requefled Toossai NT, with the whole of his family, to obey the orders of thz Commander in Chief; he at &II oppofed Come oblations, and could not fee the ne ceffity of taking his family with him—he propofed to go by land, but as loon as he law the foldiers he confentcd to let off.

" Pleafure and amufement are the great obje&s of purfitit hem, and their votaries are gratified by every variety of enjoyment. Notwithltanding the refloration of tch i.tn, Sunday continues to he the day pectiliarty dedicated to fettivity, and a lb-an ger who was told that Sunday was the day appro priated to the lervice of the Deity mutt conclude tl:at, if the Parilians are faithful to the obfcrvances enjoined, they mull have the Bei hum9ured religion, as Lend SHAFTSBVItY calls it, that could he de fired. Yeaerday afforded a treat to the people of this city, which for many years they have nut en joyed. This was the fpeftacle of the water works in the gardens of Verfailles, all in full play. No Inch grand exhibition of there water works has taken place (ince the revolution. • Verfailles has ftiffeied by the revolution as much as any other place in Fiance. The over throw of the Court, of which it was the iefidence, has converted it almoa into a &fart. The arects and houfes bear evident marks of decay and deco ration. number of inhabitants, it is laid, is not a firth of what it was. The lupe' b palace has Coffered little in its appearance beyond what ne gUt may n 'totally have produced. The heavy hand of the revolution is to be fern, not to much in its immediate violence, as in its effeds. The principal fuite (drowns in the centre of the palace te int;t rk:.€lmt• o Illevy aanraari.i•rti for ; of painting and cculpture, not to mention the paint ings on the cieling, ice- which remain entire. In there which are well known. Lotus XIV. is exhi bited in a great variety of fititations, and in all tile vanity of this tyrant is gratified by the molt ful. fume flatteries which the protlitutcd pencil could devife. _ _ " The rooms of the palace, among which will be dillinguifhed the bed chamber of the OLIITEN, where the Royal Family were finally arrefled pre vious to their being fent to the Temple and to the fcaffold, have foffered no material injury. The gilding and decorations, indeed, are fomewhat tided. Wherever the Crown appeared it has been effaced. The Theatre is Bill entire, and is occu pied by detachments of the company of the Thea tre Francais. The fuper% ball of the Opera, which muff have prefented fo magnificent a fpeaaclewhen brilliantly lighted up and adorned by the fplendour of the Court, is juft in the nate in which it was left. " In a private room, to which the public are not indifcriminately admitted, are feveral family piaur:s of the Honk of Bourbon. Those that now attract moil notice are Louis XVI. and his unfor tunate QyEEN. The sFEN hasher three children betide her. There arelikewife piaures of Louis XV. his Outsa, &c. Thefe pidures are eagerly vifited, and exhibited by Health. There is in the apartments of the palace a Mufeum of Natural Hillory, open to thole who are fond of this branch of feience. " The gardens arc in much better prefervation than I expeded. The walks, fhrubberies, &c. are in pretty good order. The grand objeCt of attraCtion yellerday, however, was the difplay of water works. Several of the jet: d'eaa in the dif ferent hafins played all the morning, and had a very agreeable efFeCt. The balms have been neg. leeted, and fermi of them are covered with grafs. About fix o'clock the grand exhibition be gan. Catarads,jetr d'eau, &c. in the various rural amphitheatres, which the luxury of the Court had created, were put in motion. The infinite number of people affembled went round the diffe rent scenes, and the works played in fucceffion, upon a fignal given. The water was thrown to an immenfe height, and appeared in the (lupe of various columns, pyramids, &c. Tice Sun (billing on them produced refleetions of light, the died of which was very pleating. The whole termi nated with a grand concert, if I may fo call it, of an infinite number of inftruments at once, in the great bafin co the right of the palace on the fide of the gardens. Columns of living water fur= rounded the lake. Neptune and his Tritons, and the whole holt of Water Deities, poured forth the &cam in infinite variety of ()tapes. The number' of fpeelators in the Amphitheatre around, could not, according to every ehimate, be lets than 00,000 pet fons. This was one of the molt agree able fhows I had ever Peen, as it was quite new.— Indeed the company in general were no lets enter tained than myfelf. Jult as one of the jets began to play, the water, before it acquired its full force, fometimes foie, fometimes feebly declined. A well dreffed Frenchman near me Paid to his com panion, Ii s'eleve et it t'nkre, et air le ',sonde. To thofe who hail been contemplating the ruins of Verfailles, and moralifing on the viciffitudes of human affairs, the trite refleetion appeared to be fingularly pat. What ups and downs has this country exhibited for the laft twelve years, and who is to be up and who down in the twelve years to come, I Ihall not at prefent attempt to prediet ! _ _ _ " The populace fecm to be proud of the right to parade at will over the fuperb palace and plea lure grounds of their ancient Kings. What would - Louis the Fourteenth have laid had he known that his drawing-rooms, his gardens, his grottos, his walks, fhould he laid open to the pro. lane rabble, and that the rude hind fhould " tread on them daily with his clouted fhoon."— It muff be confeffed, however, that the admillion of all claffes indifcriminately is attended with no injury to the objthc expofed. Throughout the gardens boards are put up with a notice, " Reftett aux protrides nalionakt," and i do not think that the injimetion is difobeyed. " The number of carriages at Verfailles was im menfe. The file really reached to Paris. This day, certainly much more than the 14th, deferved the nanie of a fete. " BONAPARTE, upon the Parade on the ,4'h July, was drelled in a plain blue coat, with two gold epaulets, but as form as be returned to the Palace, he drelfed himfelf in one of the molt rich ly embroidered filk coats imaginable, of a kind of marone colour, white lilk waificoat and breeches, and to add to his magnificence, be wore a fword ornamented with the indlimable diamond, known by the name of the Regent's Diamond. .‘ My Lord HOLLAND and fluke arrived at Pails on the evening of the 13th, and his Lord in) was at the Parade in the bottle of Citizen MAR LT, the Secretary, but he was not preknted at Inc Levee. 4‘ Lord EGREMONT, Lord STAWELL,Mr. Cocx• ENELL, Mr. Ktmst.E, and a great number of Englifh Gentlemen, have lately arrived at Paris. The Marquis dc LIMA, and the Count STAHREM• SkRG, are difiinguilhed amongß the Foreigners who have lately appeared in the polite circles. • " The 13th Thermidor, or 3d Augull, is fixed upon for the FIRST Coasves removing to St. Cloud, which has been repaired and fitted up in a Rile fplendour and magnificence fcarcely to be imagined ; the Theatte has been pulled down, and a new one erected, according to the mite of FONTAINF, the Architat, who has placed it at the end of the•Orangtrie, fo that RoNAPARTE may go to it front his apartments without being Peen. No Palace in Europe can vie with St. Cloud, in elegance or richnels of decoration ; Igo men are (Lilly employed in -gilding the Canons, &c. and the Mufetim of Piaures at Vertlilles is to be (tripped !Or the purpofe of ornamenting this feat of luxury and refinem;:nt ; the estimate of expences for re paiting and beautifying it, amounts to the enor mous lam of 3,g00,000 hvres, ,and when the fur niture is included, the valuation will exceed lix r•••••Ce•i Lqe nreig•rol irWI.CICICI livres LONDON.

Letters from Bruffels, of the ryth infant fate, that official information was every day expeded there, of the exad period when the Fl A s•r CONs vL is to pay a vitit to theft departments.

Letters from Conflantinople Rate, that forty Auftrian merchant veffels have arrived there, which has produced a new aOivity in the com merce of that city. An American Company for the Sierra Leone trade has been eftabliffied at Trietle. A new Chip of 4.00 tons burthcn is now fitting out dive, to be called the Archduke Charles, and to carry out various articits, which, it is hoped, may be exchanged with advantage. It is expelled, that this velkl will make two voy ages to Africa in the courfe of the year. The Archduke JOHN has the fupreme diredion of the naval department. By letters from Stutgard, of the i ith infant, we are informed, that the troops which are to occupy the countries defined to ferve as indem nities, are aluady in motion. A part of thole of Bavaria are concentrating themfelves near Munich to proceed from thence to the different points which will be afligned to them. Thefe troops, which are ty,c , oo in number, are commanded by General Dkoi : they will advance into Sua bia, and pals the Lech near Friedberg and Landfberg. Two other corps, each of yOOO men,under the command of the Prince of lAN ANGE and Gener al GAZA are defined for Wurzbourg and Bamberg. Each of there bodies has attached to it a detachment of artillery. Bavaria on this occafion difplays a military force capable of removing much greater obflacles than any they are likely to meet with ; for it is very probable that the EccleflanicatPrinces, whole ter ritory it is about to occupy, never entertained an idea of oppofing the leaf refinance. The Pruflian troops which have been on the war ellablithment in the Margraviates of Franconia for fifteen months paR, have received orders front Berlin to hold themfelves ready to march on the middle of July. After his arrival, the Angel which Franconia is to be cubjeded will be know It is very certain that it has been agreed among the Powers intereted, that the countries deitined for the indemnities, thall be occupied before the treaty relpeeting that bufinefs is ratified by the Diet. The intelligence received by the laa Dutch mail that the countries of theEleflorate of Treves, fits. ated on the right bank of the Rhine, have bee. t tken poiTeffion of by the troops of the Houfe of Islalfau, is confirmed in the French papers. M. de Ka vr, Counfelior of Treves, carried the news to the Eleetor at Angthurg. The Prince teemed to be greatly diareffed that his protellations had pro. duced no effeft. The Pavarian Government, having learned that very curious works, taken from the convents of the Upper Palatinate, are felling in foreign mum. tries, has forbidden all religious corporations to fell any printed or manuscript work in Bavaria, co elfewhere, without the permitTion of the Miniilry. Colonel Hottowav, Major Hoer. and Doltor WH ttm AN, have jolt arrived from Egypt, by the way of Hamburgh. The Royal Ancient Irith Regiment embarked from Mill Bay Barracks, Plymouth, on board a Tranfport, for Cork; whence they will march to Fearns, and be dilbanded. • On Ft iday fe'nnight, at four o'clock in the morn ing, a duel took place near Mullinabro, in the county of Kilkenny, between Sir JOHN NEWPORT, Bart. and Wm. CONGREVE ALCOCK, Efq. the for mer attended by Major Qt2iti as his fecond, the latter by Major COLE. Lord SOMFRVII LF, we are happy to hear, is perfealy recovered from the effcds of the late ac. cident. The friends of General GASCOYNE dined to. hether at Liverpool on Saturd. t y laft, to celebrate is re-elation for that town. The meeting was numerous, and the utmott conviviality prevailed on the occaficm. Alderman Cu art s's friends had a fimilar meet. ink in the city on Thurfday, Mr. Maxttsit in the chair. A number of loyal malls were drank, and DIGNUM and TOWNSHEND fung feveral excellent fongs. We are happy to have it in our power to con. tradiel a report, which has been very generally circulated, refpating the magnitude and extent of the Duke of BEDFOkIn intended retrenchments at Woburn. Thefe, we underhand, are only to , embrace fuch objet s of expenditure as had been, it feems, carried to an unwarrantable excels ; and which there is realbn to fuppofe, had the late Duke lived a very little while longer, he bimfelf would have adopted. The agricultural arrange:. ments are to continue upon the fame princely , fcale as ufual ; neither will any alteration take place in any other department, inconfillent with the known hofpitalitics and fplendour of the Houle of RUSSEL. The prefent Earl of MAN.STIELD is now demo- Ming the honk, or, as it is commonly called, the Palace of Scoon, and on the fame the is to erect a large and magnificent houfe : and he could not have pitched upon a nobler fituation. The old houfe was built by the firs Lord STORMONT, in 1621 ; and though there were fume good apart ments in it, yet it was far flom being a good houfe. —The Relace where the Kings of Scotland refided when they were crowned at Scowl was in the Ab bey of Scoon, which was a magnificent building. and had large revenues; but this Abbey was, at the reformation, burnt down by the mob from Perth, notwithftanding the endeavours of JOHN Kew: to Pave it, a, he mentions in his Hillory. The Gow air ,family got a gift of the Abbey and the re- venues of it at the reformation; and, on the for. feiture of the lag Earl of GOWRIE, King JerusVl. bellowed it on his favourite, the firft Lord Syn.
