r,, THE BRITISH PRESS. LA. 1.4 LA )N DON, THURSDAY, JAsuAtiv 3. We have received Paris Papers to the 26th, and Dutch Journals to the 30th. The latter confirm the account of the rescinding of the dec.ce passed on the '23d of November by the Batavian Direrlory, in opposition to the French order against the im poitation of British manufaCture, a•d of the arrest of four of the Dire tors, and the Minister who signed the decree. The Paris Papers afford but little intelligence of any interest. The Houten, is, as usual, all lead and feather, either dull abstract articles, or accounts of processions, fetes, &c. That given by the city of Paris, in honour of the Coronation, nearly fills 'an entire paper. The Mogiieur of the '221 states the loss of the English ship the De Ruvrer, of 74 gun s, off Antibes, on the 3d of September. This account is incorrea. The De Rueter was a 64, and lost at Antigua in the late hurricane. The French five per cents' were, on the 24th of Dneinber, .5 7 . CO. , Yesterday produced several reports ; but none which we could trace to any authentic source. It was stated at the Custom-I louse, and also in several eminent private mercantile houses in the city, that •he embargo h* been taken off the Spanish vessels in our harbours. If this report be founded in fad, Government have. no doubt, received advices from Mr. Faces. There are letters in tovrn,we understand, from Lord HOLLAND, which state his determination to remain some time at Lisbon, where he now is, and that Mr. Facile had sailed before his Lordship reached that city. Of course he is hourly expeded, and may have arrived, although, at a late hour last night,his friends had not received any account to that elle& It is certain that the embargo has been taken off the three Spanish vessels in the river. We have not learned the special circumstances under which they have been released, but this is probably the cause of the report that the embargo has been taken cif universally. It was also rumoured, that General Sir JOHN Moon has returned from Portugal, and reported in favour of the practicability of defending that country against the joint attempts of France and Spain, with the aid of the force which Government have proposed to aford for that purpose. Should cavalry form any part of it, the report adds. that General Lord Nor r will command that part of the army. His Lordship is expel ed in town from Ashford, in Kent, where he is now quartered. A third report stated, that Government have de termined to abandon the blockade of Brest. The late reinforcement sent to proted the Irish coast gives some consistency to this rumour. ~:~~i kit)* the had Wrn laixt ad i Rf- of ta 1 Ik 4 ~ t., P' 1 ei r tin We received yesterday Dublin Papers and letters, of the 27th, but they take no farther notice of the Taunderer, which preceding accounts stated to be ashore in Bantry Bay. h dit riort robe aift:l,43 by About two o'clock yesterday, Ilia MAJESTY ar rived at the Quatit's House, trom Ke.v, escorted by two German footmen on horseback, and a party of Light Horse. in a short time ArIET, His MAJUT T gave audiences tothe Duke of Yost, Prince %Vitt.*** of Gtou. cents, the LAID CN•PC.ELLOa. and Lord Ha l• ROWXY.

The d Ince was very well received. Mrs. Moc:Nr Aix and Mrs. &ago had some beautiful airs in the farce, which they executed with great taste and sweetness.

New Year's Day WAS celebrated at Frogmore, by an entertainment given by Her MAJESTY, when DItYDIA'S Ode eta St. Cecdta's Day, set to music by the bailable Hamner., was aptly chosen for the oc casion, which WAS opened with great spirit by Mr. TAYLOR, of the Theatre !loyal Covent Garden, , who first actraaed the- notice of the ROYAL FA MILY by his performance at the Weymouth The atre. BART I. CHAN, always excellent, never ap peared to more advantage than in the songs, Bar chaos Mc fair and yonng, and RlTtnge, Tim-darns tries, which he gave in a masterly manner. Ma dam BIANCHI was 'nest admired in the recitative, Ms chase a momenta! Muir ; and the following air, Ile tear Darius; likewise in Softly sweet in lonbrin Mouses, accompanied by Mr. H. GRIESBACH, WhiCil were given with great taste and judgment. The instrumental parts were well supported by Her MA) Lsr It's band. The chnrn sec were performed with great correctness by the Gentlemen of the Windsor Choir ; -aid the whole was well conducted by Sir W. PARSONS. Though the performance was very respe6table, it bore no comparison with that of Christmas, 1802, when tfret and Galatea was so charmingly performed at this elegant war, Ay Messrs. HARRISON, BARTLESI AN. and Mrs. Bit• LINOTON Rild we cannot help observing, we were much disappointed in not healing any of the Choir in the principal parts, as many of them have given great satisfaSion at the Royal Concerts ; particularly Messrs. SIIITH, MILLER, RINRICID, and Master GI AY. Between the ads, the company were refreshed with tea, coffee, and sweetmeats. At half pastsiz o'clock, the company were nearly all .resembled. At seven o'clock, the Rot At FA • um , / arrived from Windsor Castle, in the follow. ing order:—The KING and QUEIN in the first car riage • the Princesses ELIZA BEEN and MA aY, and the Duke of KEN r, in the second ; the Princesses SOPill A and AMELIA, attended by Lady Etoits, in the third; and the Dukes of Yone and CA Pt IGOE. in the last. On the entrance of the ROY AL FAMILY into the grand Colonnade, the Concert be gan. The performance concluded soon after ten o'clock. A party of the Oxford Blues, and a party of the Staffordshire Militia, guarded the premises ; and a party of horse escorted the ROYAL FAMILY from and to the Castle. The company had all left at eleven o'clock. Among the Cpmpany we noticed, The Muquis mod Matchionels of Thoornd. The E.rl of Row•Ivo c.nuautp,--Roi..iyui, Dorchester, Elgin, Aylesbury, and Ely.

Yesterday morning, soon' after nine o'clock, the ROYAL FASSILY left Windsor for London. in their travelling carriages. escorted by a party of the Ox ford Blues. Ills Mk./ esr y went by Slough, and stopped at Kew. Her MAJESTY and the Pets cruel went by Staines; and, owing to some mistake' the Light Horse were rot on the road to relieve the Oxford Blues, and those heavy horses were obli:,red to go all the way to Landon. Several of the horses were knocked up on the road e and on their arrival at the QLEL%'S House with Her MAJESTY, about twelve o'clock, the men had the most deplorable appearanc: ; they were so completely covered with mud, that it was difficult to discover what colour their cloaths were of. In the course of the morning, the Princess Sort': of GLoicEaTER, and a number of the female Nobi lity. visited Her Martyr v and the PRINCESSES. A messenger was dispatched on Monday to the Earl of MOIRA, at his seat in I.•EiCESERTShire, re questing his immediate return to town, in conse quence of an audience which the LORD CIi•NCEL. Loa had of the Prince of W A I.lks, at Carlton-Houser respelling the guardianship of a young Illustrious Female. It is confidently reported, that Mr. ADDINOTON is to succeed the Duke of PORT Ass as President of the Council—an,l that the latter is to retire upon a pensi-n of 4,0001. a-year. Another report states. the: an arrangement will be made. by which his (;Taro's servivn will he rewarded, without bringing any addltionalexpence upon the country. An Evening Print of yesterday stated, that the Opposition intend to press forward tl.e Question of Cathoiie Emancipation, even against th.• wishes of the body nt the Catholics. We hope that these is no foundation for this report, and that it oristinates es.Lirrly in a wish to tin.% an odium upon the Op. p..s;tinn.
