PARIS, APRIL 25.—M. de KALITCHEF having demanded, through the Minifter of Foreign Rela tion, an audience of the Fiat Conful, this au dience took place yefterday, immediately before the parade. M. de KALITCHEF was concluded to the Tuilleries by the Miniller of Foreign Relations, and delivered to the Firft Conful a Letter from his Majefty the Emperor of Ruilia.—Monitr. BAYONNE, APRIL 15.—General LECLERE who commands the corps of Obfervation in la Gironde, has reviewed the firft divilirin of the French army defined to at againft Portugal, confuting. of to,ooo men, and 3o pieces of cannon. After the Review he recommended to the officers and foldiers to behave with propriety, and to refped the manners and culiems of a friendly people, with whom they were going to combat the only allies remaining to England on the Continent. He made them fenfible, that bravery is only one half of the duty of a foldier, and that the care they might employ, to conciliate the efteem and friendfhip of the people among whom they were about to be, would contribute no lefs to the fuccefs of the cans paign, This firft divition will reach Burgos on the zBth infant. The fecond is about to begin its march.—Manirrar. COPENHAGEN, APRIL 14.—The public which renders the fullelt jullice to the courage difplayed by our foldiers and tailors, in the battle of the zd, fees with pain two articles of the armillice con cluded on the 9th, between Admiral PARKER and our Government : viz. the fecord article, where it is faid, That the Treaty of Neutrality is fut. pended, in regard to the co-operation of Denmark, as long as the Sufpenflon of Holtilities continues and the fourth, where it is formally Ilipulated' that the Engli(h Squadrbh (hall be Ibpplied at Copenhagen and on our co:ails, with every thing ne ceffary forthe health and refrefhment of the crews. The whole of the Englith fquadron almoff dif appeared fince ycflerday : tome vac's only have returned to the Sound. We have (till off this port one Osip of the line and three fmallzr yeah, the reit have proceeded up the Baltic, through the narrow channel which feparates the iflands of Amak and Saltholm, except one very large Chip which we can fee entangled in the fhoals which furround the former of thefe &Inds. It is not improbable that it may be the Admiral's fhip, of 94 guns, which may draw too much water, though the was lightened yeflerday by obliging a Pruffian vefel, returning from England, to take on board her cannon. If we can give credit to what the Englifh offi cers told the captain of the Pruffian veffel, their squadron is deftined for the port of Revel. It Would be in vain for it to appear before Carlferona. That port, better fortified br nature than ours, bids defiance to the cannon and bombs of the Eng rdh. The fquadron Slut up there has deceived our hopes, and in all probability the wifhes of the King of Sweden alt . °, who is ineenfeJ againft tholc to whom he afcribes this delay. M. de 11.st.m ckpur who was to have commulded it, has been I - aped:tied by M. de CEDIRSTROM ; and Count Wae'isIRSISTIR, who Superintended the prepara tions for this maritime expedition, has been ar reflcd by order of the King, and mutt juflify him.

Such of the offi cers as were of higher rank, flipped with the Xing and the telt, at the table of the Grand Martha' : Among the latter, a very young officer named VILLIMUS, attralted much attention • though fcarcely t o years of age, he commanded one of Our floating batteries which, according to Nes son's own account, did more hurt to the Englith Squadron than all the other IREL,IND.

Yefterday the LORD MAYOR ordered the Bread to be reduced one Affize, or two pence in the Peck Loaf, to take place to-morrow—the Qtyrtern Loaf will then be fold for one (tilling and eighlpence. THEATRE ROYAL, Ditußy-Law a.--TheTrstgedy of Julian and Atari was performed for the fecond time laft night. No piece perhaps was ever fo much altered and improved in the fame period of time. From the firft it contained excellent materials. Now they are arranged fo that the intereft is increafed as the piece advances, and the fufpenfe of the au dience is kept awake till the dropping of the cur tain. The piece was extremely well received. A Court of Common Council met yefterday to thank our gallant Officers and Seamen for their viCtory off Copenhage,n. Previous to this taking place, Mr. W A II %lAN defired that the proceed. ings of the Court might be read on the King's re covery from his former illnefs, when it appeared that he had been addreffed immediately on his re covery. He therefore, before any other bufinefs took place, moved tint a loyal Addrefs be prefent ed to his MAJESTY, on his late happy recovery, alluring his Majefty of their affeetionate regard to his perfon and family, arc. I his motion was oppofed by Mr. Deputy BIRCH, who laid, the Houfes of Lords and Commons had not yet addreffed the King, and it would not be decent or proper for them to do it. Mr. COWLEY Paid that the Court was an inde pendent body, and therefore it was not to wait for the Houk of Lords or Commons, to do any thing • they thought right and proper to be done. Our Churches were every day thanking the ALMIGHTY for the K ing ' s recovery, and' his Majefty was now I performing all the funEtions of a King, and there fore he faw no objeCtion to the intended Addrefs. But if he heard any thing in the debate that might lead him to think that his Majefty was not fuffi ciently recovered to receive them on the Throne with convenience to himfelf, he fhould in that cafe be for deferring the Addrefs. Sir Warxre Lewes infifted that it would be highly improper for that Court to addrcfs his Ma jefty on his recovery, until the Lords and Com mons had done it. Mr. GOODE/MERE (Aid, that if the motion had come from the Miniderial fide of the Court, no objeition would have been made to it ; but as this ! Addrefs had not bctn cooked by the Deputy, it I was not palatahl.:. The previousqueftion was, after the tshole day's debate, put and carried ; fo that the Addrefs was loft by a large majority. Sir WATRIN LEWIS'S motion to thank the Offi cers and Seamen for their gallantry, was obliged to be deferred till the next Court. A Duel was yellerday morning to have been ' fought in Hyde Park, between Mr. F— M — v , of Parliament-greet, and Mr. D—e, of Chirles ftreet, St. Janses'sdkiare. The parties, attended by their feconds, named on the grou nd about fix o'clock, with each a cafe of pitbs,and were pro. ceeding to the untal preliminaries, when they were interrupted by the appearance of feveral of the • Bow-(beet Officers, who put them under an arra, information having been privately communicated to Mr. Foals, the preceding night. The panics were afterwards brought to Bow:ftreet, and obliged to give bail for keeping the peace. NAUTICAL INT.ELLICENVE. 111.%1LS THIS DAV...Wind L•'. N. E.
