Given at Paris, the 12.1 , ,PriAriA, llth year (13th June, 13 )3.1 By Command of his Eminence, Bu Et, Secretary. The C.ardinal Dc B'rttov, Archbishop of Paris. A Mandate of his Eminwce Cardinal Cunha. eeres, Archbishop of Rouen, commences much in 'the came strain with that of the Archbishop of Pa ris, and thus proceeds—" We arc persuaded, that the Sovereign Arbiter of the Destiny of Empires , will favour our cause ; and that he will refuse to our enemies his DivineProte4 ion, without which the most l'ormidatde preparations for war can only he attend ed with the most signal defeat. That he will avenge the ,canal{, 0 - treaties, of which he was ap pealed to as the guarantee, as well by our adver sacks as ourselves. However, as we are not igno rant that God wishes we should implore those favours his paternal heart burns to grant, intreat of him, most dear brethren, that we may conquer the enemy that provokes us, and moderately use our viaory. Ask of him, for our counsels, the assistance of his holy spirit ; for our generals fortunate cir cumstances, and art to profit by them ; for our sol ci.rrs valour and subordination. This will not be s:, much to demand of him neer favours, as the continuation of ferrner ones. Let us demand of him, let us demand particularly that the Jean of hi: reit band, the man who, by his dire.ftion and by his orders, has done so much for the re-establishment of P-is worship, and who proposes to do so much more, rray continue to be like Cyrus, the Christ of Provi- Ceace ; that he may watch over his life, and cover At with his wings ; that he may shield his august person from the dangers he may meet in combat, from his courage ; and those he has to fear from the" envy of his detraetnrs, on account of his merit ; !rosy the wicked because his object is to do good ; from impiety because he his supporting religion ; from policy and from foreign passions, because he is the first man of a great state, and that the happi ness of the empire he governs is essentially united with his preservation. Finally, implore of the com mon Father of all men, that this war which we have undertaken only to defend ourselves, may finish soon, and cost humanity but a small portion of blood and tears. • The First Consul desires your prayers ; he desires them in order to obtain the Divine Blessing on the just enterprizes he may form for the Country. This religious care, and this touching piety will, doubt less, conciliate hint in the affekion, the interest, and the gratitude of those who hive never hitherto par doned him for his talents and his success. The maniate of the Bishop of Orleans contains this passage. " Let us, dearest brethren, implore the assistance and support of the Cod of Israzl, prostrate at the foot of his :that let us recommed to his goodness thos., immortal legions who viaorY has already so many times crowned. The leopard fled before them in the plains of Hoondscote, under the walls of Dunkirk and Toulon. Holland has seen what French valour was capable of against the united children of Albion. The combats before Boulogne should have taught th.tm, that the perfidious ele a-n4u on which they' flatter themselves they reign may betray them. What succes,es do not the justice of our cause, she protection of a God, the guarantee of treaties, and the bravery of the ancient triumphs—of our warriors promise us. What ought not France to expect from the vast genius of her deliverer. New Cyrus, the hand of God himself has traced his career and direaed his rapid course ; 6 Eg© ante w it o ."

TI LE BRITISH . PRESS. -, LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 27. ~m•.• 1••• On Saturday we received Pari?papers to the 224 inclusive, and yesterday the Monitcur of the £sd. The former contain an article, stating, that the Frenth Consul has not yet ratified the Convention , between the Regency of Hanover and General Moartra, and that he waits for the previousyatifica don of the KING of ENG t : Atm. The cause assigned foe this precaution is, that the capitulation of I lan over, concluded at Closterseven, was declared null and void, as net being ratified by the KING of ENG. LANG ; and that the Hanoverian troops, who had stipulated not to sei during die war, availing themselves of ill.. deice% resumed ti•eir arms .:11d gained the battle of Crevclt, under Pi ince Fini n- NAND.—IC curious enough to observe the avidity with which Some of our pert and shallow politicians swallow this thrash of the French Editors.—With out seeing its drift or examining its motive, they follow it up with an assurance that one of the Spe cial Messaigers, lately arrived from Paris, came for the express purpose of demanding his MAJESTY'S ratification.—lt would, we believe, have been more Congenial with the feelings of his MAJESTY, had the fall of Hanover been ennobled by a glorious defeat, or even a show of resistance.—Everyman, :herefore, ca pable of truly estimating the high and generous sen timents of the British Court, must be shocked at the absurdity of such a speculation.—That BONAPARTE, the unlicensed robber and plunderer of Hanover, a neutral and nooffending state, should offer to restore his booty to the owner for a Award, that he should make it the foundation of a proposal for the surren. der of Malta, we can readily believe, but that 80... NAPA ATE should call upon the KING of ENGLAND to ratify his aggression, and become an accessary. after the ilia to his crime, would be to aggravate injustice by insult. Such a proposition wonk bs considered a flagrant abuse of the liberty of isvr. course that still remains between the two Govern:l ments,and must lead to its speedyandoompleteckaa It would be pusillanimous and degrading to imott: open a communication only used as a °conveyance'''. for insult and reproach, and not for the purpose of conciliation and humanity. But why solicit the ra. tification of the KING of ENGL. AND? His name never occurs as Eleilor of Hanover in the capitulation. It stipulates for nothing in his favour, either to ex cite an interest or influence his consent. On the contrary, his name is studiously avoided, and the article expressly requires the ratification of the Ft ur CoNsui. and nothing more. Indeed any other line of condat would be inconsistent with the present policy of France. The Gov , ±rnment of France con tends that England :Dui,: hav? nothing to do with the Continent; that the K of ENGLAND cannot be the legitimate Sovereign of Hanover, and that his continental subjects can owe him no allegiance.— Would it not, however, be an act recognizing his right to call upon him to ratify the convention con cluded between the regency and General Mo aTIER ? .A French Messenger arrived on Saturday at Lord HAweesacaY's Office, and his mission has been idly presumed to relate to this business. We can venture, however, to assert, that it has no manner of connection with the subjeft of Hanover. The between the two countries was to close on the 2ith instant, and 'the sole contents of the dispatches, brought by the French Messenger oat Saturday, were a requisition, on the part of his Go. verranent, to keep the communication open foe ano ther month. This proposition looks .pacific, and favours the prevailing idea of a negotiation now ac tually carrying on between this country and France. We are the more inclined to give credit to this opi nion from authentic information, that Boxte.taTs overshot his mark in going the length that produced the rupture with England. We believe he was taught by M. OFTO to think, that the Admi nistration felt itself imbecile, and without the confidence of the people, and would thence be induced to make any concession, rather than risk a war with France. M. OTSO, when in this country, was considered a mild - and conciliating Minister. On reference, howeVer, to his letters, in the *tidal correspondence laid before the public, he will be found to have no juittitle . to that character. In urging the complaint of hii,Gore**- rnent, we do not perceive a single ray of a cOnciliik tory disposition ; his language, on the coaxial, is extremely harsh and insolent. in addititiotO : :o44 proof of his having acquired a eharaaer -fciPEAceo which be by no means desetwedt it is eow , `lvell bum, that immediately before'. We' du Pali* Prelimingics, he broke of the =v13004_0144 u1h••....a.......... • .

Such being .the leap:age and conduEt of . M. Ovr . e", NC. must say that Bus apawrr chose in him a had :adviser, if it was the intention of the French Go vernment to avoid pushing things to an extreme. As he must have seen his error betore time, it is possible he may be now endeavou..ing to retrieve it through the mediation of Russ,ia ; but we trust that no chance of peace, which such a state of things mightafford,will lead to the slightest relaxation of our exertions, and that the inferiority of French force will not be suffered, by allying itselfwithfinem, fraud, and stratagem, to impose upon the honest nature of Eng land, and thus enable itself to cope with British pa triotism and valour. The condua of Government allows us to indulge this hope with confidence. As iinpunity is the encouragement of crime, it would be idle to eve& economy, discipline, and energy, where waste, imbecilit7, and insubordination pass, not only with' ut censure, but without notice. With a prospeaive view, therefore, to right, Ministers have taken a scrutini zing retrosped cf thewrong. They late ly instituted an enquiry into the abuses of the naval department ; they are now el:la:01y zealots in exa mining the abuses of the military. A Cour.'!of En quiry will commence its sittings this day ups it the condua of General FAWCETT, Major BRADsHAW, and other officers concerned in the late levies raised in Ireland: General PRESCOTT is the President ; General the Hon. CHATELL NORTON, General LEIGH, and Lieut. General Ow Lvic are also mem bers of the Court. Major General DOYLE arrived in town on Friday from Guernsey in a very delicate state of health. We are happy to state it is much re-established by the journey, and that he hopes to be able to resume his command towards the end of this week. He reports the island as in the best posiible state of defence. General Ditunetoma, an able and experienced offi cer, commands in hie absence. sir Jong Boat / Ist WAaars, our Ambassador at the Court of Peterqburgh, is either aaually upon his return or will shortly sake his leave of that city.

We are, :therefori,. the mote happrin 'being fr .aVe" assure'our waders that the most perfect harmony prvail; betweenihe Court* of LondOn and St. Petersburgh;and that . his return- is totally unconnected with their political re lations.—Sir JOHN B. WARREN says, that at a time when his country is engaged in a war the most seri ous ever waged against France, it is neither con sistent with his honour nor 114 inclination to act , in a civil capacity, howevt,r dignified the station. We may, therefore, soon expect to see him resume his command upon that element, where he has dis played so much ability and gained so much glory. We do not believe the person is yet fixed upon who shall succeed him at St. Petersburgh. The Afortiteur of the ‘2,3d, received yesterday , ' contains the mandates of several Archbishops, with direction* for the form of prayers to be used fur the success of Boss ART E'S arms. In the mandate of the Archbishop of Rourii, the brother of the Consul C 111.'6: RES, he is styled, ,4 The Chria of Provi dence." We shall not dwell upon the disgusting theme. Every good and viituous mind must be shocked at the horrible blasphemy of the Arch bishop.

This Theatre, after having been painted and newly decorated for the season, was honoured with the presence of the Royal Family on Friday night, to sec Co Lit Ate S :Pm Bull, and Di BD: N'S Farce of the j ' esu and Ole Dolier. Mr. F A ET T v•a - , ti hero of each piece, and received the most mieqiiivocal marks of approbation. The Royal lifilitors,scemed highly pleased with their entertainme.rt, and re ceived the warmer,: effusions of loyalty from one ot the most erowded and brilliatit audiences that The atre ever boasted. Long before the curtain drew up, every part of the house overflowed. On Saturday, what a contrast! At half past six o'clock, the au dience consisted of—in the Boxes, two; Pit, five; and Galleiy could not boast a single Coiydon. A*- quest was made from the Manager, that they would have the goodness to accept their money, the Play would not be performed. The proposal was gladly received. On Friday morning four Messengers, Gut NELL, ROSS, CUSSIVER, .and another, arrived from the different Secretaries of State's Offices, to his MA JESTY at Kew Palace. After inspecting the Dis patches, and returning the Messengers, HIS Ma jesty walked in Kew Gardens, accompanied by the Dukes of CUMBERLAND and CAsanatiocr„ and Air. Giu:vILLE. At ten o'clock the Royal Fa-illy took an airin!, in three open carriages in Kew and Richmond Gar dens; HIS MAJ Es rY drove one of the pheatons, - compar.ed by the Princess AcGesrA. His Royal Highnev. the Duke of Cu mar.rci. AND and Mr. Gns vit LE attended them on horseback. At twelve o'clock the Royal Family set off from Kew for Windsor, in two coaches and fear, and ar rived before two o'clock. On Saturday morning at half past dine o'clock, His Royal Highness the Duke of YORK arrived at the Queen's Lodge, and had his usual weekly in terview with His MAJESTY on Military Affairs, in which he submitted to His MAJESTY'S inspection, a musket on a new and improved construction. At eleven o'clock His MAJESTY, accompanied by the _ Princesses SOPHIA and AsaIAA., and attended by Lady ELIZABETH THYNNE and General (,tare, took an airing on horseback, in Windsor Great Park. His MAJESTY and the Princesses ELIZABETH and MARY, attended by Lady ATLEsnertV, took an airing to rogmore, and walked a consideralle time in the Gardens there. About two o'clock uiey re turned to the Lodge. Her Royal Highness the Princess Acoccr A, at tended by the Marchioness of BATH and tr.., datigh ters, and Lady ELY, took an airing in the .oc.;;6)1v, in the Great Park, by Virginia Water, and through the beautiful plantations near it, and returned home by Englefield Green. After dinner the Royal Fa mily went to Frogmore. The Terrace at Windsor was snore numerously attended on Saturday evening than any evening this season, but the company were disappointed in the gratification of seeing the Royal Family, who unet pededly went to Frogmore to drink tea. The band of the Staffordshire Militia attended, and played for the amusement of the company. Her MAJESTY'S Band attended, but on account of the non-attend. ante of the Royal Family, they did not play. On the return of the Royal Family from Frogmore, they had a Concert at the Queen's Lodge. HIS MAJESTY did not attend Divine Service yes terday morning at 8 o'clock, as he is accustomed to do, on 'acc'ount of Mr. HUNTER, senior, and two other- Messengers, arriving at 7 o'clock with dis patches from Ministers, which engaged the aucn tion of His MAJESTY till past nine o'clock- Her Royal Highness the Princess ELIZABETH, attended by • the Countess of ELY, General GARTH, and Major DESBROW, went to St. George's Chapel about half past 8. Soon after 10 o'clock, the Royal Family, attended by the Marchioness of 111T11 and three baiighters, Countesses of EL Y and AvLEsatIRY, General GA ern, and Major DEsnriow, walked from the Queen's Lodge to St. GeOrge's Cathedral ; as the Royal Party entered the Court-yards they Were met by a number of persons of distinftion among them were the Earl of UXBRIDGE and Lord MeLonaTx, whom their MAJESTIES conversed with. The Staf fordshire Militia, and the 13th Regiment of Dragoons were drawn out, and sainted their a... JESTIES as they passed, while their Bands played, " God Save toe King." The Bishop of NO VIP IC tc attended as Dean, and read part of the Church Ser vice: A very excellent Sermon was preached by Dr. LANGFORD, from the 7th chapter and the 50th verse of St. Lust " And he said to the woman, Thy fa;th hall saved thee, n in peace." After the Sermon an Anthem was sung by Messrs. VAvoliAN, SALmon, and others, and Mr. SEXTON, the Organist, played a very appropriate voluntary, one of H A D'E CS celebrated chorusses, Behold ibe Lamb of God," from the Mini .b. The choir was crowded with beauty and fashion ; and the town being very full of . company, all the inns overflowed with guests. a On Saturday afternoon the Prince of WALE: re turned to London from Bidbury Races. Saturday evening the young Gentlemen of Eton College, according to annuaFcustom, went in sit eight-ored cutters, from Eton-bridge to Surley Hall, the seat of Mr. TowNetv WARD.—They Were dressed in their uniforms of silk jackets, Caps, and feathers. Each boat had an elegant flag dis played at the stern. The we a the r b e i ng remar kably fine, great numbers were attracted to view the sight from the shore. The young Gentlemen will conti nue this amusement every Saturday till their BA-. tholoniew-tide Holidays Colonels DONEY and SALIS3URY, with Messrs. ti tWOOD, DUGDELL, HARVEY, MIDDLETON, arc/ STOMA R, and several French, eitnan, and Sason . gentlemen, came from Tomlin& in the packet . whick brought the Hamburgh mails of yesterday.
