COPY OF THE LETTER OF HIS MAJESTY THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA TO THE COUNT DE LISLE. My Lord Count—lt is with pain I have perceiv ed, by your letter dated Warfaw, June 13, the Tao lotion which you have taken. It I had been ac quainted with it before, conformably to my with, both my friendthip for you, and my accufiomed cot dour, would have determined me to diffuade you from thole projefts which, in the exiling trills, eta far from being of real advantage to you, will but af ford your enemies hell' weapons agaial you, and induce them to render the execution of your defigns Rill more difficult than it is at this moment. Without witting to intermediate farther in affairs which do not immediately concern myfell, I cannot, however, countenance the propofii.ion -which you, my Lord Count, have made to me, and I ought not to conceal from you, that the offer which I have already made you, anlwhich I here renew, viz. the offer of an afylum in my hates, in cafe you could nut obtain a refidence elfewhere, hat, been made but with a view of procuring you a tranquil retreat, in which there could be no idea of fuch a projeft as you now me ditate. I have felt myfelf bound to !peak to you on this fubjeft, withcut referve, and I am perfuaded that neither the impoffibility of carrying your plans into execution in Itutlia, nor the light in which I view the matter, will give rite to a doubt in your mind of the defire I feel to give you, on every occalion. reiterated proofs of the molt dittinguifhed contideration, with which," &c. &c. PRIVATE LETTER, PARIS, DEC. zo. " I am jolt relieved from the fatigue, both of body and mind, of the late files on crowning the Empe ror; they laded the whole of lall week, and are Lot yet finished. The fuperb fire works are put off till Thurlday, as the preparations are not yet completed. It would be needl.;.s to take up your time in relating the general account of the grand prcceilion left Stm• day, but ; 111411 entertain you with what has particu larly come within my obfcrvaticn. I had a mull ex cellent view of the wits le. The Pori came by ex aaly at nine o'clock, as was announced ; I law his Holinefi very plain; a Pr iea carrying the crofs, and feated on a mule, made much fun for the Parifians. The poor fellow, who preceded the Post, WAS hat leis, an the moll bitter cold that could be conceived ; it was fo intenfe, that fome of the foldiers aftually ' dropped down in fits, having been expofed to the air from three in the morning, without any refrefliment. The Emperor was not fo punaual, he did not come forward till pall eleven o'clock ; his carriage was fu perb in the highelt degree; eight cream-colon:eel bodes, decorated in a new ilyle of elegance, excited the admiration of all the fpeaators. Thole honks, I underhand, were taken from the Itud belonging for merly to the KING of ENGLAND, at Hanover. From the arrival of the Pope to that of the Emperor, a (pace of two hours, there was a continued fucceffion of troops • the cavalry all galloped. Some regiments of cuiraffiers, or men in half armur, had a beautiful effeft ; and a regiment of Matneltikes on horfeback preceded his Martty at a little alliance. The pi o ccffion was all pallid at a quarter pat& eleven. The molt perfect order plevailed, and Fenuld have walk ed as eafy ill the Rue St. Honore, as if nothing had been going by • no crowd whatever. Soldiers were placed in ranks on each fide of the way, and no rab ble was fuffered to go by ; but any Lady or Gentle man Whet pafs, even infide the ranks, as the grena diers were all very polite. I bad a fine view of Cie Emperor, who bowed as he went, though not a foul ,tried rive PEnrperzar ! A few perfoits only cried out rive P Empereur ! on his return, but it seas to faint as to make little imprellion. " The next day (Monday) was dertled to the pen ple, and they were permitted to ramble at large in fearch of various arnuftmenti, which were appointed in all parts, to prevent then) atrembling in one place. At the Place de Concorde, between the Thnilieries and Champ Elifees, they fent up fix balloons ; the fill was a fmall silt one, about as hig as a coach body ; it went off with aftonifliing velocity, and was imper• ceptible in three minutes. Afterwards a large one was fent np ; there was an immenfe large golden eagle fattened to the bottom of it, where tke car (hould be ; it had a very pretty die& ; it was accom panied by four fmall ones, which had the appearance of melons ; from each extremity proceeded a finoke, which very fnon hurfl into a flame, and confumed them all. The large one, with the eagle, went to an immenfe height ; but at tall took fire (delignedly, no doubt), and when burr:, the eagle came flutter• ing down in the Elyfian Fields. All the rabble ran to fee it come down. On the Boulevard!, and other places, were dances ; Maypoles, with prizes on them, at n great height ; fuch as watches, filver cporms, &c. Thole that could mount fur them were entitled to them. This was a fource of great arnufement.—All the TheaTes were opened graft; on Saturday, Sun day, and Monday. Yellerday (Sunday) was to have been a great day for the market-folks, but it is put off till next Thtufday. A hundred hogfheads of wine : are to he put into the fountain, inflead of water, and ' there the people are to drink as much as they pleafe. Thoufanda of turkeys, geefe, and fowls, are likewile to be diltributed. To avoid confulion, tickets are to be put in a large bag, exprefling a turkey, fowl, &c. fo that each may go and demand what his good for tune appoints in the lottery : no blanks, but all prizes. It feems next Thurfday will be as grand a day, if not grander, than any yet. The Emperor is to go to the City-hall to dine with the Federations. They are ereaing a moll magnificent throne for the reception of his new-made Majefly. The hall is to be in a room decorated with colours taken in various battle;. .We cbferved many taken from our county yriu.n, with re gi r. I can scarce clefcribe what a fMen'nity the day on which the C. a ()nation took place produced in every perfun of fen:iment : nobody Appeared joyous., but as it were, Itt tick u ith wonder at the event. " I went yelltrday to Notre Dame, as they admit the public gratis, to fce how the church was decorated at the time of the molt auguft ceremony. It is in a ftyle of maictlic grandeur that flrikes the mind with awe. The middle aifle,from the great door to the altar, is fitted up on both fides. with three tier of boxes, in a theatrical kyle, hung with crimfou and gold ; bet xv , .!t2 ,, the tiers of boxes a large eagle in gold, d'7ance.

It is added, that the non-comp:iance of his BRITANNIC MAJESTY with this invitation has afforded fume difpleafure to the King of Paussia., and that A fimilar fentiment mutt afluate the Emperor of RUSSIA, between whom, and the Cabinet of St. Cloud, the writer affects to fupi:ofe a cordial reconciliation is about to take place. We have copied from one of the Dutch Journals the fiippofed anfwer of the EMPEROR of RUSSIA to a letter from Louis XVIII. communicating the new plan which the latter is Paid to have formed for the recovery of his kingdom. When we confider the prefec=t enfiavcd (late of Holland, and how fubftr vient the prefs is in that country to the French Go. vernment, we do not attach much credit to the au thenticity of this document. The fad refpetling the taking off the .embargo cn veffels bound to Spain, is faid to be as follows: " During the Negociatioq between this country and Spain, application was made to our Government by the Spanifh merchants, to know whether they would be permitted to freight their (hips which were in our ports—their application was anfwered in the affirma tive—and, in conformity with that good faith which has always dillinguithed this country, the embargo has now been taken off with regard to thole veffels. As to one Chip on which the embargo is continued, the is freighted with Britifh goods, which, of courfe, would be confifcated on her arrival at l3ilboa. The owners of the goods have applied to have them re lauded, offering to pay demurrage, &c. but this re quat has been refuted, and, therefore, it was thought ribht to cntitirme the embargo upon the (hip in quef- Lion, until confent is given to reland the Britith goods which are on board her."
