The two Governments have agreed that the ce remony of the entry of the Ambafradors of France, obferved at the beginning of the 18th century, in regard to the Englifli and French Ambaffadors, 1611 take place for the future ; but at the audi ence of M.

At two o'clock the LORD CHANCELLOR, Lord PRIMA/f, and Lord WALSINGIIAI4, his Majeftq's Lords *Commillioners, took their feats, in their Robes, on the Bench, in the front of the Throne ;, and Sir FRANCIS M OLYNAU X, Bart. Gentleman Miler of the Black Rod, was difpatched to order the attendance of the Commons. Accordingly a very numerous affemblage of that Houfe appeared at the bar, with their uewly•eleft ed Speaker, Mr. Abbot, at their head ; he entered between Sir Wm. Scott, and Mr. Lafcelles, As loon as Mr. Abbot had reached the Bar, he addreffed the Lords Commtffloners to the follow ing effect : ti My Lords—His Ma'efty's dutiful and loyal fubjeds, the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, have, in obedience to his Majeity's commands, proceeded to the esercife of their undoubted and antient right, in the Elec tion of one of their Members to be their Speaker, and I have now to inform your Lordthips, that the honour o f their choice has fallen upon me. To their dedfion, and to his Majefty's Royal Approbation, I hold it my bounden duty to fubmit. At the fame time, I cannot avoid exprefling my earneft with, that in the pre-fent inftancc, his Majelty will be gracioully pleated' to allow his faithful Commons to proceed to a new Eledtio^, and thereby to afford them the means of fixing upon a perfon more worthy of their choice, and his Majelly's Royal Appro bation." To this addrefs the LOAD CHANCELLOR, as organ of the Cormniffioners, replied nearly as follows : • " Mr. Abbot, his Makfty relying on the wifdom and firm nefs of his faithful Commons, and judging fronrpaft experience, entertains no doubts of your lane ency to execute the arduous duties of that high and important fituation, to which his faith ful Comtnons, in their wifdom and difcrction, have ele6ted you : and his Majefty h•s commanded us to inform you, that he fully approves of the choice which his faithful Commons have mide.—We, therefore, by virtue of his Majefty's Royal Corn million, and is his name, do allow and confirm you as their Speaker." On which, the SPEAKER addreffed their Lord fhips to the following elk& : "My Lords—l feel it my duty to fubmit myfelf to the M ellott to his Majefty's Royal Plea'ure and Approbation; and, I receive with the greateft gratitude, this further mark of his klajeity's Royal grace and favour.—Confirmed in the high and important office, it becomes my duty as Speaker of his Majef ty's loyal and faithful Commons, In their name, and by hum • ble petition, to claim for them, a continuance of the reercife of all their ancient rights and privileges, particularly freedom of fpeech in their Debates,and exemption, in their perfons, eftates, and fervants from all arrelts and other moleitadons; and that they may have free accefs to his Majefty's Royal Perron, as occallon may require,_ and that their proceedings, on all occa ions, may receive the molt favourable interpretation. For my own part, I have humbly to intreat that any involuntary error which may be committed by me, may be imputed to me only, and not to his Majefty's loyal and faithful Commits." The anfwer made by the LORD CHANCELLOR, was nearly to the following purport : " Mr. speaker—We have it in command from his Majefty, who fully trufts to the temper and prudence of his faithful Com mons, to declare that his Majefty freely and fully allows to them the enjoyment of all their rights and privileges, which have ever been allowed or confirmed by any of his Majefty's royal predeceflors. As to your own part, Mr. Speaker, we have it further in command front his Majefty to Rate that his Majefty fees no rtafon to apprehend that you will nand in need of the required it.dulgence, and that his Majefty will be at all times inclined to put the molt favourable interpretation upon the proceedings of his faithful Commons." After the Commons had retired, the Houle was adjourned during pleafure, in order to give the Lords Commiffioners an opportunity to unrobe. On its refuming, Lord Keith (made a Peer of the Unit,.l Kingdom in the courfe of the laft Sef fions) :v45 introduced in full form, the Duke of Norfulk attending as Earl Marfhal, and Lord Gwrdir acting as Great Chamberlain, fworn and took his feat. His Lordfllip's fuppor ten were, the Earl of Moira, ( as Lord Ra wdon ) and Lord Pelham. In the courfe of the fitting a number of Peers were fworn ; among whom were the Dukes of Norfolk and Roxburgh, the Bilhopi of Durham, the Earls of Chatham, Beiborough,lDartmouth, and Pomfret, and Lords Ellenborough, Cathcart, Teynham, and Carteret. At four o'clock their Lordfhips adjourned until three to-morrow. 1 .1 .1 ' i I*/ I HOUSE OF COMMONS. This day the Speaker took the Chair about two o'clock, and a confiderable number of Member; attended. In a very Ihort time after the Miter of the Black Rod fummoned their ittcuclance in the Houle of Peers to hear the Royal approbation in the choice they had made of a Speaker expreffed by Commillioners appointed by his Majelly for thatpurpofe. _ _ _ The SPEAKCitt in his official robes, accordingly proceeded to the Upper Houfe, where the cere monies ufual on loch occafions took place. On his return he addieffed the Houfe in a very 'neat fpeech. He had, he Paid, to inforin them, that he had, accompanied by a number of Members, attended in the Houfe of Peers, where the Lords, audio riled by his Majefty's royal commiffiort, had figni fied his gracious approbation of the choice they bad made in the elation of a new Speaker. He had to ftate to the Houfe that he had refpalfully petitioned, agreeably to ancient ufage, that his Majefty's faithful Commons might enjoy, unim paired, their long-eftablifhed freedom of difeuffion, and that they Mould have the fame fecurity for their perfonal fafety, and for every other ancient privilege which had been heretofore enjoyed. He had alto felt it to be his duty to exprefs a hope, that his Majeily would be pleated to conftrue all the proceedings of his faithful Commons in the molt favourable manner. Having enumerated the fubftance of what he had conceived it neceffary for him to addrefs to their Lordfhips, he had now only to repeat the expreffions of the warmeft gra titude which he felt to the houfe, for the honour they had conferred on him by their choice of him to fill the dignified fituation which he then occu pied, and to affure them, that as far as his exer tions could go, nothing fhould be wanting to give dignity to all their proceedings, and order to all their deliberations. He fhould conclude with reminding them n that to give effect to any exer tions on his part, nothing was fo effential as a arid attention on the part of the houfe to all thole long eitablifited forms and orders, which experi ence had (hewn to be fo admirably adapted to preferve the regularity of difeuffion, and to fad litate the difpatch of bufinefs. The Right Hon. Member concluded, by recommending, that pofe of being (worn, in the order that their names were called over. The Speaker himfelf then took the .oaths, and a great number of Members fucceeded in the order ufually obferved. At four o'clock the Houle adjourned; and the Speaker gave notice; that to morrow he fhould take the C.h.sir at twelve o'clock, when he hoped that Members not fworn would make it their bnfinefs to attend.

Berkeley Cattle, Nov. zt, 1802. Gentlemen—Having received a letter from hi% Majelty's Se cretary of State (Lord Hobart), recommending the railing of the men for the Militia of. the county of Giutteelter with all dif patch, confiftent with the preferibed forms of the late At of Parliament relative thereto ; I am to requft.your attendance at the enfuing meetings, as advertifed by the late General Meet ing of Lieutenancy, in order that the Militia for the county of Gloucefter may, as foon as poffible, be put to its eftabliflunent. BE:Mint!, ILienteaarlt of the county of Gloueefter and city of Briftol. A report was in circulation yefterday that the Toulon fleet had failed, and effeEted a junction with the Spanifh fquadron at Carthagena. We have in vain endeavoured to trace it to its fource, and we need hardly add that in fuch a cafe, efpe• cially if fettling day at the Stock Exchange is at hand, nine times out of ten at lean, we may fafely father the rumour upon the Bulls or Beam We have another reafon, however, on the pre fent oceafion, for afcribing the above report to the machinations of the labourers in the fields of Stock jobbing fiftion. We yellerday received let ters from Gibraltar of the 25th and 25th of lan month, which are entirely filent refpefting any fueh event. This, of itfelf, would be no proof that fuch accounts could not have been received by the conveyance which brought our letters, but when we join this with another fait, which we !hall mention immediately, it amounts ,almoft to a po. fitive proof. The letters which we have now received are not of fo late a date by two days as thole we laid before our Readers on Friday laft, which Rated the Toulon fleet to be in port. We may, therefore, confider the report as entirely goundlefs. Though our letters from Gibraltar, which we (hall fubjoin, are not of fo late a date as .former accounts, their• contents are interefling, as they furni(h tome details rerpeiling the conduit of the French Miniver at Malta, with which we were not before made acquainted. It is cuflomary in all our foreign garilfons; - as well as in this country, when the air of ",God Save the King" is played in public, for the Audience to Rand up, as a mark of refpeft and loyalty to his MAJESTY and his il- Itattious Family. Even in France lately, when a Britith Ambaffador was prefent, this mark of re. fpeet was not withheld. We find, however, that at Malta the French Mitkifter, not long ago, thought fit to follow a different line of conduit, which gave fo much offence to the audience at the Opera, that the performance could not go on.— On the fecond night his family was hiffed out of the houfe. In following this line of conduit the French Miniller was probably ailing without any direa inftruftions, as to the fpecific cafe ; it teems fair, however, to infer from it, what the general fpirit of his initruetions is ! 'One of the letters that has reached us mentions a circumftance furpeeted to be conneCted with the viiit of the KING of ETRURIA to the KING of Spas, lately announced, Which many will, pro bably, think well founded. No one can have forgot, that not many mapths ago BoNAPA T 1, on the appearance of a law refpeeling the clergy in Etruria, which had been enalted it would ap pear without even confulting this maker and un maker of monarchs, ordered it to be laid up among the public archives at Paris, as a recorded mono. mmt of the folly of Kinge."—lt is only three days fence we were informed that Parma, a part of the Anse family .aropertr, yak Boned to . France : , low we are told, time will tell with what truth, that BONAPARTE has dropped hints that he has no farther tire for this King, and has therefore furnithed him with a pretext for quitting his do. minions. GIBRALTAR, OCTOBER 23. " On the zid the armed fchooner PictL E ar rived here from Plymouth, in eleven,days, %yid: difpatches for Sir;lticHAßD BICKERTON, with whicia the ihortly afterwards failed in queit ofhim. " Our laft letters from Malta bring an account of fome very impleafant dilturbances, that had taken place at the Opera there, with General Vitt., the French Miniller, in confequence of he and Family refufing to nand up Cr take off their hats when God Ave the King was played : the riot wa s fo great the firit_pight as to prevent the perform ance going on ; and on the fecund night, when General VIAL'S Family went there without him, the Ladies were huffed out of the houfe, on their refuting to (land up when the reit of the audience did, on that tune being played. It appears very ftrongly from General VIAL'S conduit on this oc cafion, that he wifhed to draw fome infult upon himfelf, and no doubt but ftrong remonfirances have been fent home to his Government on the fubjed. General Vz t. ETT e, who commands the Gar rifon, to prevent any future difturbances of the kind in the Opera•houfe, gave orders, that in fu ture no popular airs, or any piece of mufic fliould be played, except fuch as belonged to the per. formance. 66 OCTOBER 26.—The KING Oc ETRURIA arrived at Barcelona on the 4th inilant, after a paffage of eight days, from Leghorn, under pretence of paying his refpeas to the KING of Slum, his father-in-law; but it is generally believed, that Box A P ARTS, being difpleafed with his conduit, has given him to underiland, that he has no further occafion for his fervices as King, and has furnifhed him with this pretence of quitting his dominions. , g The KING of SPAIN'S retinue, in his journey to Barcelona, amounted to upwards of five hun dred carriages, and fourteen thoufand perfons in his fuite, and like locuils their route was marked by famine and deftruaion wherever they travelled, as they confumed every thing on the road, and the expences of thefe Royal vifitaticas are feldom de frayed till two or three years afterwards." PARIS JOURNALS To the 15th intl. came to hand this day. The FIRST CONSUL has finithed his tour, and returned to St. Cloud. A letter from Madrid, in one of the unofficial papers, announces, that their MAJESTIES of SPAIN are to be accompanied on their return to Madrid with the KING and QyzErt of ErituaiA. Does this circumtlance tend to difcredit, or to con firm the furmife in our Gibraltar letters ? PARIS, Nov. 4.—The noife of cannon a n. noupced this evening the return of the FIRST CoN• stn., who arrived at half after feven at St. Cloud. An Englifh brig was loft cn the 3oth of Oaober, at the diftance of about eight miles from Genoa: the crew were raved by an American fhip. The Ligurian Government fent people to lave the cargo if pollible.—Moaiteur. _ _ _ Colonel RA OP has returned to Paris from his million to Switzerland. A report is generally circulated at Mentz, that the FIRST CONSUL will vifit that country towards the end of Frimaire. MADRID, OCT. I4.—The fpeedy return of our Sovereigns to this capital is announced. We are Allred that they will be accompanied by the King and (bleen of ETRURIA. Among the perfons to whom his CATHOLIC MAJESTY has granted a par• don on occafion of the two marriages which have been celebrated at Barcelona is the Ex.Minifter Uactsitio, whofe liberty the PRINCE of PEACE has obtained. It is thought that the Marquis MALESPINA will alfo be pardoned by his Majelly. Mr. HUNTER, Conful General and Charge d'Af faires of the Court of London, arrived here a few days ago. Mr. PINKNEY, Minifter Plenipotentiary of the United States of America, has fet out for Barcelona, where he will embark for Italy, as Su perintendant General of the Confulates of that na tion. He has left here the Secretary of Lega tion, who will fill the office of Charge d'Affaires. ROME, OCT. 23.—His Holinefs wilhing to give a proof of his affedion to his Highnefs the Car dinal YORK, repaired on Thurfday, the 15th, to Frelcati, where his Eminence reades. Cardinal Yoxit, being informed of the arrival of the Holy Father, went out on the road leading to Rome,with a numerous fuite. When his Holinefs arrived at Frefcati he Ivifited all the ellablifhments of the town, and particularly the fuperb library with which Cardinal YORKE has enriched the town of Frefcati. At half after two his Holinefs went to the epifcopal palace, where he dined, having on his right the ci-devam King of Sardinia CHARLES EMANUEL, and on his left, the laft and barren Branch of the ancient houfe of Stuart. Before night his Holi nefs returned to Rome. General Fox and feveral Officers from Malta have arrived here.
