A Bill was then taken into eonfideration, and fi nally paired, containing various provifinns relative to the in:ernal organization of the Tribunate. On the :orb init. his Imperial Highnefs the Con liable of the Empire introduced to the Emperor, for the purpofe of taking the oaths. which they accor• dintly took in his prelenee, the Generals of Divifion Deffollec, Dembarenc,d'Hautpool, Lamarche,Lorge, Minllis, and feveial Generals of Brigade, Colo nels, and other Officers. His Imperial Highnefs the Grand Admiral intro duced for a timilar pm pore Vice Admiral Martin and feveral other Naval Officers.

M. MAILLARDOR, Minifler Plenipotentiary from the Helvetic Confederation, is not about to return home, as was lately reported. The opening of the Legillative Body is by an Im perial decree deferred to Thurfday, the 27th inf. Ads/ices from Berlin, of the 4th of December, mention a current report in that city, that a mar riage was in agitation between the Prince of Meek lenburgh Strelitz, brother to the o,2een of Proffia, and one of the daughters of the King of England. This conjelture, whether true or talk, has, however, it appears, induced the politicians of that city to be lieve that the Court of Berlin had undertaken to adt as mediator between France and Great Britain. It is reported, that the potty of Poi tugal will be occupied by French troops. On the 16:h, his Imperial Majefty, as Prefident, was prefent in the AlTembly of the,:nuncil of Stine, which is now occupied on the Penal Code. Madame BONAPARTE ) the mother, and LUCIEN BONAPARTE, the brother of the Emperor, arrived here on the 19th from Italy. Ntw Arporirrra tars.—M. de Mandolz, BAN) of Rochelle, is appointed to the Bithopric of Amiens ; M. L'Abbe de Frady, Almoner to his Imperial Ma jelly, to that of Poitiers ; and M. Ninon, Vicar- General of Rochelle, to the Bifhopric of the fame place. M. D'Algirc is alto jun nominated Cham berlain to her Imperial Highoefs the Princes Ca. ROLINE. His Holiners yefterday repaired to the Church of St. Sulpice, where he celebrated the Holy Myfteries. He entered the church at ten o'clock ; his retinue was compored of four carriages of the Imperial Houle, of thofe of feveral Senators, and Ambalff• dors. Two detachments of cavalry opened and clofed the procelfion. The church was entirely tilled with the faithful, who flocked thither from all p a rt s , and an immenfe crowd was colleCted in the fquare in the front of the church. The Pope retired at half paft twelve, when, from the tcp of the portico, he gave his apoftolical benediainn to the people who had not been able to get into the church, and who, on this occafion, behaved with the greareft feriouf. nefs, and manifefted the mon profound reverence for his Holinefs. Within the church fermi Ladies were admitted to kits his feet. On Wednefday, the 26th, his Holiners will vifit the parifh churches of St. Thomas d'Aquinas, where he will likewife celebrate the holy my aeries. On Friday he will go to St. Egaache, to give his beneclidion to the New Chapel of the Holy Virgin. The report which has been circulated of the ex peeled fpeedy arrival at Paris of the Senator Lo• cum BON•PARTI, appears to be deititute of founda tion. They write from Stra(burgh, that on the day of the fete celebrated in confcquence of the Coronation of his Majefly the Emperor, the name of the Impe rial Bridge was given to the new bridge which is to be ereded there over the Rhine. The orangery. in the Ropprechtfau, which has been brought from Backweiller, was called the J. fephine Oiangery ; and a new walk which is to be laid out will be called the Boulevant J..fcph.

Government has put under fcqueftration all the money which the Englifh have to claim on our merchants; and various meafures, indicative of bar tiliiies, are ordered to be taken in our ports. This blow was r nly wanting to put the finintiog firoke to our commerce. The vile/ are fallen to 35 ; our courle of exchange is at a aand; and there is no trade car rying on. BARCELO.4 A s Nov. :B.—The Englifh continue to capture our (iiips in there waters, and fuller nuthing to .sppe odd) our ports. _ _ DEC. 3. — The Englifh have eaptnred three Spanifh (hips richly laden near Gibraltar, from the Havan nalt, and fent them into Portfmntith. SCMIEnAM, Dec. 26.—We have been requentd to itilat the following Adverlifcment - " From AmfterJam. " The Government of the Batavia!' Republic, in purfuance of the tr meri,tl ::w.teaee, of the comics of good order, had, by its Tr, tree of Novem er tit laft, announced by Author:ty, eudea. volt-rd to reduce the chief command «f the li4ravian troops, con. }Wei by mate. to the French General in Chief : but being arter y irds coil • az 1 of their i,bliptiotts, as well as the interelt of this country, little ittinol ited by the private pal:lions of fume of their welt - MIOWII fellow citizens, have battened to give the Frt. tich General in Chid the moll ample and inoft tout, icuous fa ttsfaction, by n•fciuding the Decree fief peffed, as appears by the fol:ow'htg extrselect froin the Res:liter of the r;ovcrn• mem of the Latsvian Republic, in its extraordinary Sitting of Wednefday the lath of December, tg : 4 On the propolitlon made to the Arembly, and for rearms conducing thereto, it is refolved to annihilate finally, the Decree of November 23 !att. " •l•he Secretary of State of the War Department, is charged to communicate this difpofition to the frpetior and other Officers of the Bataviau army, and to iffue the neee4•ary orders for its ezccu , tion." We hear, that M. &NORVILLE, the French Am. lraffitdor at the Hague, has demanded the difmiffion of four Members of the Direflory of State, viz. A. G. Bears, J. SPOORS, C. G. BYLEVELD, and C. H. GOCISINGA. They have promifed to abfeut them felves from all deliberations in that College. It is added, that the Secretary &MISCHA, of the Depart. ment of Foreign Affairs, is comprehended in the Am. ball:Lefties demand.—ifonflerdarn Courant. 2d.—The Batavian Deputation was to leave Paris on the 28th ind. on their return to this country. General MARMONT is fhortly cxpcded in this Re public. ROTTERDAM, Dec. 22.—Our navigation is com pletely interrupted by the troll, and all cur trade is at a hand. Add to this, that very revere meafures have been adopted again (} the Exportation of grain to your country, or to any place from wl4nee it may proceed thither. In (hurt, exporters are ol,liged to fign a bond, that the corn, or any othLr kind of grain they !hip, (hall not be landed in England in any way whatfoever, and you will eafily perceive, that you can expect no fupplies from our market, either now or in the fpring, unlefs this decree be re pealed, of which we entertain faint hopes. DEC. 3t.—The late Decree for the prohibition of all imports and exports from Holland is folly con firmed by fribfequent ads of the Dutch Government. It is therefore necellary you fhould be informed, that no more merchindiee of any kind from England ought to be fent to this Country, as complete confif cation mull he the inevitable confequence. 1 am of opinion, that little or no communication will be held with England during the winter months. PSTERIBURGH, Dec. 1.—..F0r 101112 time pall poli tics have been defended but little here. The exchange of coiriers, it is true, continues nearly as bride as ever ; but all our c•efent relations with Foreign Powers are kept a profound fecret ; fo that in the place of truth, fi.aion is frequently fubdituted : the report even that a confider able corps of troops was to he affembled in our Polilh territories, feems to be unfunded_ The Emperor has highly approved of the conduel of Mole. D'Ousess, our late Charge d'Affaires at Paris ; the more as he was frequently under the ne eel:thy of aeting without inllruElions. STOCK HOLM, DEC. I t.—One thoufand lets of the two firtt Works of GurrAvus 111. have been fent to Paris. STRALSUND, Dec. 15.—The King and Q2een of Swami, being now recovered from the fatigue which they lately fuffered during their unfitted - 4u! attempt to crofs over to Stockholm, begin to think of making a fecond trial, particularly it the winter (horrid continue mild. MILAN. DEC. I2.—The Confurt of the Senator Lucitis Botratarrs was tan Saturday delivered of a daughter. Near Burlette, in the Southern part of the king dom of N3p!es, a camp of ten thoufand men was formed on a fpacious plain, confining of French, Ita lian, and Polifh troops. On the 18th of November this army performed a grand manoeuvre, after which Genera! Sr. CYR dinributed the Star of the Legion of Honour to a great number of valiant foldiers. Intelligence has been received here from Leghorn to the tft inn. On the 3011) ult. no one had died of the yellow fever. According to a lift made up by the Commiflion of Health, 74 inhabitants had been carried off by the yellow fever in the courfe of WI week, and 54 the week before. The moll rigid mea fares of precaution continue to be taken. RarisnoN, DEC. B.—The Dirdlorial his Exeellency the Baron Aram, two days fence communicated to his colleagues the fupplement of the Treaty of Navigation, as figned at Mayence be tween the French Government and the Arch-Chan cellor, doting the Emperor's late flay there. The mon important alteration made in the original trea ty, by this fupplement, is the removing of the Bu reaus of Privilege from Griethuizen, Thall, and Wellmichao Lobitz, Coblentz, and Calle. Isstaucx, Nov. t 5 the end of Sep umber a huntfman of Camoni was employed by M. GEBH ARD to make an attempt to afcend to the rum mit of the celebrated mountain of Ortles, fituated between the valleys of Sulden and Drofny, in the Vintfchgar. This gigantic mountain, covered with etetnal ice, is marked in Anich's Atlas as the high eft in the Tyrol. No perfon ever before ventured to afcend it. According to M. GERHARD'S barometer, its height is 14,406 Paris feet above the level of the Mediterranean. Except Mont Blanc, therefore, the elevation of which, according to M. de SAUSSURE, is 14456 feet. Ortles is the higheft mountain of the old Continent. Hitherto Mount Grofglockner has been confidered as the higheft in the Tyrol, but its height is not above ta i ono feet. FRISCXFURT, DKr. M.—Letters from Ratitbon mention the following:—" Several Slates of the Empire have received intelligence of the fortunate iffue of a oegociation which has been long penuing between Auttria and Prul3ia, on the Viril votes in the College of the Princes. Both thefe Courts have agreed to the creation of a certain number of new Catholic Viril votes : the number, howevir, is not quite fo great as Ault. ia could have wilhed; but it exceeds that to which Pruffla e iu the beginning, would merely acquicfce." Aucsettacti, DEC. 15.—The laff accounts from Italy announce, that the news of a rupture between England and Spain has produced there the greatett fenfation. All Spanith veffels have received orders from their Court not to quit the ports in which they at prefent ate, till they (hall be authorifed by their Government. As the Spaniards have hitherto car ried on, almott exclulively, the commerce of the Le• vant, there are many (hips of that nation in the ports of Turkey. An avyb has, therefor e, been feat front Barcelona, by order of the Court of Madiid, to give information of the prefent fituation of affairs. Every where the greatell indignation is manifetted agaitilt the Englilii. In Sicily every thing is quiet ; there are many Englifh agents there employed in mating concidera ble purchafes of provitions for fupplying the maga zines of Malta, from which the whole fitlet of Admi• ral IsTaxsou derives its fubfißence. It was time time tince aliened, that the yellow fever prevailed in that gland; but this report, happily, is not confirmed. Nscsom has received reinforcements in (hips of the line and frigates, which have been fent (torn the ports in England. He is Rationed about forty leagues from Toulon, and watches at once the ports of France and Spain on the coatis of the Mediterra nean. All Spanifh merchant (hips that he can feize are funk, after their cargoes have been taken out. BANKS or THE MAIN, Dec. r6.—Great apparition is made in the new Wellphalian poffetlions of Prutlia to the military confer iption. Formerly the inhehi tants of this country never raifed a tingle foldier ; only paid a fmall fine, which was applied to the rail . - ing of recruits. They lately difpatched a Deputa tion to his Pull Gan Majeßy, to make remonttrances on this fubjeet. The Monarch received them amica bly, and thus addreffed them :—" You know that Pruflia isa military government, and that its armies can by no means be compofed entirely of foreigners. Furnith me with the means of completing my troops with a fufficient number of volunteers from the na tives, when I (hall hear your propotition with fatis fdlion ; but at prefcnt I mull have recourfe to the military conrctiptik it. lam fell the frtt faldier in my kivgdom , but it is impolflble for me to de fend it alone."

It is not true that Government have received certain intelligence of his having adually failed frton Lilon ; he, however, continues to be expeded daily. The Spann A mba &dot continu;s his communi cation with Miniaers. An Order of Council has, it is (aid, been tranf_ mitred to the CommilEonets of the Cußums, for li berating the Spann merchant (hips lately embarved, with the exception of one, which (lands in a peculiar fituation from fume contravention of the revenue laws. Lift night French Journals to the 26th ult. were received, and Dutch Papers to the 3oth. Madame BONAPAtTC, the mother of the Emperor, is lla:ed in the former to have arrived at Paris : LUCtLN was alfo believed to have arrived there, but the report has been contradieted. A hint is thrown out, in one article, that it is the intention of France to occupy the ports of Portugal. This circumflance is merely mentioned as a prevalent report ; but fuch reports are feldo:n admitted into the French Journals, unlefa on fome foundation. The Dutch papers confirm the refignation of the four Members of the Dutch Government %vb.° fup. ported the fpirited refolution which gave fo much offence to the French Government. The Minillcr who fired the decree has alfo been compelled to te lly). The order is folemnly retraced, and the note in which the Members of the Dutch Government con. fefs their error, is publifhed in their own papers by command of " a fuperior authority." M. D'Ousatt.'s condue, during his refidence as Charge d'Affaires, at Paris, has received the full ap probation of the Emperor of Ruilia ; and particu larly as he was often obliged to aEt without inflruc lions in fome of the moil important circumflances of his negociation. Their Swedi(h Ma;eflies were about to make another effort in the middle of laa month to get to Stockholm, at which they teem anxious to arrive. The intelligence from Madi id, in thefe papers, as recent as the 3d of laa month, and it (peaks per emptorily of War. The Yak:, or Government Se curities, are reprefented as depreciated to 35 ; the Courfe of Exchange was arrened, and all commer cial bufinefs was at a (laud. A Dutch Paper reports that the Emperor of auffia bas written a letter to Louts XVIII. his detettnination to the no part in the fc:10 e. which the Princes of the floufe of Bou'bon are la:ely to have projeeteri for the advancement of th. it caufe. This letter may not cliff, but there teen e no reafon to jultify a belief that the Emperor of Rol fla is rcfolved to make the caufe of the Honf: of Bourbon the principal ground of war againfl Fr :thee ; and if it is not made a very principal point, perhap% it ought not to be affumed at all. The King of Pruflia, it is dated, has had a difpute with the pe ,, 2le of his new dominions in R`e(li•hali• , , who wifhed to commute their quota of men to the army for a pecuniary fine; but his PrufEan Majefty requires perfonal fervice in proportion to the diftrid. The letters from Italy fpeak of a war between Eng land and Spain as inevitable. They confirm the re ports of Lord Ns Lso N'S fquadron cruizing off Bar r.,.:luna, and capturing every thing. The Spanith fhips in Italian ports have received orders not to put to lea in the prefent circumtlances. It is afferred in fume of the French papers, that the two French frigates, i 4 Sybelle and la Didon, which lately eff ttd their efcape from New York, where they had been fo long blockaded by two of our !hips, arrived on the t ith ult. in the Road of Port Liberte, where they are performing quarantine. Several letters from vatious parts of Spain have been received. Thofe of the 4th ult. from. Madrid fay very little en polities, except that it was mentioned with great confidence that war would be publicly de clared in that city on the Bth. Accounts from Barcelona of the Bth ult. Rate, that the declaration of war againft Enhland had been figned and publi(hed. The Spaniards had proceeded to that :marine with great reludance. Advices from Valentia, of the 3oth of November, (late, that the three Englifb veffels, feized in that port, had made their efcape, but by what means was not afcertained. All that was known on the fubjed was, that the veffels difappearcd in the night, without be ing obfelved, and carried off with them the foldiers put (.n board by the Government. The fever Hill raged at Carthagena, but had abated forrsething of its virulence, (ince the accounts of the 27th of November, Letters from Malaga, down to the 27th November, confirm our former flaterneut relative to the leisure of Data vefrels in that port. According to our ad vices from thence, the Spanifh Government teem de termined to retaliate for the capture of their veffets; and have already gone fo far as to feize fome of their own veffels, with their cargoes, becaufe they were loaded in England. The Mariana, a Spanifh vend from Brides], was feized on the 25th November, at Malaga, with a cargo of Englifh produce. The Lit tle Amy, Captain LANDER, an EnglA wife!, was alto embargoed, with two others, laden with cod fifh, from Newfoundland. The vigorous meafures adopted by way of retalia tion in Spain, caufed no final' unea(nefs yederday on 'Change, to the Merchants connected with that country. Very few letters came to hand yellerday from the trading cities in Spain, although heretofore duplicates of all the letters by way of Lilbon came through that quarter. This circumfianett has induced the Mercantile Gentlemen who are connected with our new enemy, to think that the Spanifh Govern ment Lave intercepted the letters to this country, in order to afcertain Englifh property. Orders. however, have been given to permit Tome Spanith velfels to fail for the ports of Spain, agreeably to the licences they had obtained for that purpofe. A Dutch paper of the 28th ult. lays, that MOREAtt is fhortly expefted in Holland, but affigns not theleaft ground for this mon improbable intelligence. It Teems quite clear that :be rumour is totally unfounded. On New Year's Day, the Duke of PORTLAND gave a dinner to upwards of three hundred perfons em. ployed in the alterations and improvements which are making upon his eftate at Bularode, together with a number of the inhabitants. The cloth was laid in the new buildings.

Buccarix.—The public feem much divided in their opinion of the propriety of a late bulletin, refpea ing the health of the young Rofcius, but as this teen s 4 the age for Bulletins,we Ihould not be furprifed if the following melancholy Buletin was (portly to be hung up at the door of all the Lottery Offices—" Not a Ticket or Share to be had —all fold." COVENT GARDEN.—The Iran of the World was laft night played at this honk to a fathionable and crowd ed audience. Mr. Comte perfonated his favourite chara6ler of Sir Pertinax with his ufual fpirit, difcri. mination, and effeft, and was extremely applauded. • The part of Lady Rodolpha Lumbereourt was perform- ed by Mrs. LITCHFIELD, for the fiat time; the was very eafy and playful, and fpoke the Scots accent as well as any of thole who have lately preceded her in the chamEter.
