Par Sir FRANCIS D'IVERNOIS. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS. PAMS, DEC. 1. The Senate, at eleven o'clock this day, proceeded in a body to the Thuilleries, where they were pre sented to his Imperial Majesty by his Imperial Highness Prince Joseph, Grand Eledor. His Ex cellency the President, Neufchateau, addressed his Majesty in a long complimentary speech (which we have not room for insertion today), to which his Majesty replied in the following terms : • " I ascend the Throne, to which the unanimous wishes of the Senate, the people, and the army, have 6 called me, with a heart penetrated with the great P destinies of that people, whom, from the midst of camps, I first saluted with the name of Great. " From my youth my thoughts have been solely Axed upon them, and I must add here, that my plea. mm and my pains are derived entirely front the happiness et misery of my people. " My descendants shell Fang preserve this throne. " In the camps they will be the first soldiers of the army, sacrificing their lives for the defence of their cour try. " As Magistrates, they will never furget, that contempt of the laws, and the confusion of social order, pre only the result of the imbecility and un certainty of Of focus. " You, Senators, whose counsels and support have never failed me in the most difficult circum stances; your spirit will be handed down to your successors. Re ever the props and first counsellors of. that throne so necessary to the welfare of this vast Empire." On the same day the Tribunate complimented his Maje.ty ; and the Senate and Tribunate, and Council of State, delivered congratulatory speeches to the Pope.- - -(llfonionir.) Never was there seen in Paris such a number of carriages; the streets, quays, and bridges, were co vered with them. Yesterday and to-day a great number of the De putations. who have come to Paris to attend the Co ronation, passed in review on. the Plain of the Invalids. The squadrons of cavalry which were expelled in Paris arrived - this morning ; they made a must brilliant appearance. . The erosions of the police are astonishing, and yet its operations are imperceptible. Citizens come freely to Paris, and go about where they please, without any body appearing to take notice of them. Nevertheless every eec if known. Numerous patroles maintain order by their presence alone, amidst this burnouse concourse of strangers arrived from every past of Europe. The twat" which •••• sW &Au/ the twenty four carriages, which will form the Imperial procession, were exercised this day on the Place Carousel ; they went through the evolutions which they are to per form to-morrow. Every body admired the grace and beauty of those superb coursers, which seemed to feel proud of the employment for which they are destined. The cannon announces, in all the environs of the capital, the eve of a great day. It was too often abe signal of alarm and death ; at present it only awakens delightful sensations and prospeCts of hap piness in the hearts of Frenchmen.—(BirileOn.) The preparations making in the garden of l'huil leries promise magnificent illurnioatiobs. From the porticos which surround the parterre. descend garlands of coloured lamps ; the great alley is deco rated by colonnades, surroundad by stars; the ter races have circular piatearsz, which preAn4 the form of an orangery; every tree in the transverse alleys will be illuminated by lamps. In the middle of the Place de la Concorde will be raised an iron:ease st.ur, which will tower above all other lights, Atli throw its light to a great distance. The Champs Elyse , s pill also be richly illuminated. The Boulevards will be illuminated through their whole extent by lamps placed at different distances along alie trees. .—(lialleoti de l'Earepr.) DM:. 3. We cannot yet give our readers the expeCled de tails of the august ceremony of the inauguration and coronation. The grandeur of the solemnity, the order. et-144 and pomp, with which they were cele brated, have impressed upon all hearts a deep emo tion, which does not leave the mind the requisite freedom to describe, in so short a time, so magnifi cent a spectacle. Yet 'we must point out the god of day escaping, beyond all hope, from the empire of a foggy and cloudy season, to enlighten so fine a day, and those thousands and thousands of lamps giving a noon-day brilliancy to a peaceful and joyous night. We must furnish a just idea of the most noble and imposing procession, of that religions ceremony, of that civil aft, which have at once united all that human and divine affairs could present !noir sublime; of that concourse of people from all parts of the em pire, and from the most distart parts of Europe, to admire. in the bosom of one city. the mot venerable apostolic virtues, and the most astonishing genius, crowned by the most brilliant destiny. We must, in short, communicate to the French, who were not happy enough to be present, that pious and civic enthusiasm. that love, that gratitude or a whole people, whose transports resounded in Pa- same day throughout the temples and every put of the capi. tal.—(Meanesse.) co describe at this moment so memorable a day as yesterday--to depict the public joy—to enumerate the numerous proofs of love and gratitude which the 'Emperor received every where, would be to under. take what the delirium of the moment will not per mit, and what the new minutes use can spare to this day's Paper will still less permit. We must confine outsvlves to a few words. Tbe weather which, in so many circumstances has favoured the fern, and the events ut which Bo n .ipArte was the hero. was more thin ever in unison with the wishes of the French.—A mild but slightly I • '~ drilled day. ervened with complete success the inittsense preparations with which all Paris was oc cupied. The sun shoneVor a short time—his first beams appeared wheork,bi Emperor left the Thuilleries, and from time to.tsre irradiated his path to the moment of his arrival it Notre Dame. From five in the morning the streets were full of people and carriages—from all parts the people rushed to the places through which the procession wag to pass. The public espeCtation was entirely fulfilled—no thing could equal the taste, richness, and elegance of every thing belonging to the procession. No thing, above all, could equal the brilliant appear ance of those gallant men that formed His Majesty's escort, and whose eclat spoke more to the imagina tion, because it brought to mind the victories with which this band of heroes have covered themselves. The procession arrived at Notre Dame amidst the acclamations of the people, who blessed the day, and the Hero to whom the benefit was to be attributed. l'hese acclamations were redoubled in the Church, filled with citizens, so much the more sincerely at tached to his Majesty, from being the co-operators of the good, which his genius prepares and direas. The imposing ceremonr:s of the inaugurationtook place in the manner we had previously announced. We shall dwell here only upon the Emperor's oath. His Majesty pronounced it with the firm tone of a man whose heart confirms what his mouth expresses; but when he came to these words which terminate that august oath—l swear to govern wlela cim'h a vino to the interest, the happiness, glad glory of the French peep—his voice, changing from a deep and aff..ding sentiment, reached with more certainty the hearts of every one who heard him. Hi► Majesty and the procession came out of the Church about four, and did not return to the Thuil. leries till night had closed in, leaving no other re gret to be experienced by the citizens, than that the tall of day h.td hindered (bent from enjoying more of this charming and inspiring speCtacle. Every where in his Majesty'. passage the citi zens were eager to decorate their bosses with tapes tries of different kinds. In the afternoon the troops assembled in the Bou levards, waiting fnr the procession, danced to the sound of the tambour, and to cries of Vire i 'Entpe rem.. Every where the people partook of their joy, and assembled to dance at several places. The procession was equally numerous as brilliant; a just idea of it may in some measure be formed by observing that an hour and a half scarcely sufficed to see it pass. The illuminations were every where very bril liant. The Boulevards seemed to leave nothing to be desired in point of sight; but the chagrin disap peared when one was transported to the Thuilleries. The most lively imagination cannot conceive the taste and the magnificence of this brilliant and happy evening. It any thing were wanting to complete our asto nishment, it was the order and tranquillity which prevailed in Pans. The general happiness was not interrupted by any accident.-.( fiunetin de r Europe.) The solemnity of the Coronation and Consecration of their Imperial Majesties was celebrated this day, in conformity with the regulations in the different ceremonials which have been published. It would be difficult for us, to-day, to enter into full details, or even to coiled particular circumstances. The weather was peculiarly favourable to the pomp and external magnificence of the procession. A fine winter's day, the sky lightly clouded, a slight frost, facilitated the full display of all the great pre parations which had been made ; and was equally favourable to those who made part of the pro, es lion and the spedators. The carriage of His Ho liness was, as usual, preceded by a■ Ecclesiastic upon a Mule, carrying the Papal Cross. The Holy Father on the way gave the A postolical Benedielion, and, in returr., received those of gratitude and piety. Their Imperial Majesties heard continually, during the whole of the procession, both before and after the Coronation, the most animated e!pressions of the public will, which gave a sort of sandion to this solemn a&. The crowd was every where immense, and the greatest order prevailed. The Senate were yesterday admitted in a body to pay their homage to his Holiness, a. was his Eminence the Cardinal Archbishop of Paris.—(Pad ) DU'. 4. The second day of the Coronation Fetes had the charatter of that ever memorable day which had preceded it ; but they had that which were proper— that of a public rejoicing. The movements of a people running from plea sure to pleasure, had succeeded solemn pomp; a common dress, to that of costume ; popular sports, to ceremonies ; and, instead of brilliant processions, we had immense population spread upon the (pays, the public places, the promenades, and the Boule vards, where all sorts of diversions were going on. A fine and clear day rendered more brilliant this assemblage of people, which extended from the Im peria! Palace to the extremity of the Boulevard Saint Antoine. The multitudes were drawn to different points at the same instant, and the immense extent • of the Boulevards presented the coos trrtlO a con tinued promenad-. In the morning, the heralds at Arms proceeded through all the p, incipal places of the ens, and dis tributed on their passage an enormous .luantity of medals of different sizes, destined to commemorate this epoch of the coronation—on one side of the* medals is the figure of the Emperor, bearing the crown of the Czsars, N ith this legend—Napotona Lmjeremr: on the reverse we read—Le Sena, ee le Teeple. These words explain the meaning of tht allegorical design on the reverse, where rs seen a figure clothed in the attributes of magistracy, and ore of a warrior, borne on a buckler, and new clothed with the Imperial attributes. 'the eagerness to obtain these medals was extreme. _ On the Place Jr le Conrorde arose four halls, form ing oblongs of antique architeBure, destined for waltzes, from this place to the extremity of the bou levards extended long and brilliant cordons of illu minated pc-lands. 'I lie gates of Saint I fermis and Saint Martin, behind which brilliant illuminations terminated the view, offered a very beautiful coup rtell. The Place dr la Concorde. the Hotel de la M.- rime, and adjoining horses, the palaces of the Legis lative Body, and the Legion of Honour, displayed a galaxy of light. During the whole day. sports of every descrip I _ tion, along the whole extent of the Boulevards, sin gularly amused the speaators ; there were seen a numerous corps of musicians. executing fanfaro nades and military marches; these groupes of sing ers, making the place resound; exercises of every description; theatres at shok distances; panto mimes and buffoons, excited every where attention and pleasure. In the evening, the crowd insensibly filed off to wards the Champs Elysees, the Thuilleries. and all the points where they could see easily, and without confusion, a fine artificial fire-work, let off from the Bridge of Concord. No aLcident happened to cloud this agreeable day; order. and the most perfeCt tranquillity, reign ed every where, and every where were seen that calm and peaceable gaiety, that innocent liberty, which characterises a happy people.—( Mondeur ) Then follows a Progr,vmme, for the distribution, on the sth, of the colours, the itnpetial eagles, to the deputation of the army. They were to be pre sented by the Emperor on his Throne. _ ; , THE BRITISH PRESS. LONDON, SATURDAY. DECEMBER 15. We yesterday announced exclusively the arrival of Paris Papers to the sth instant. As we then stated, they contain little more than an account of the fetch &c. in honour of the coronation which cc:A place u-on the second. The coronation and con,ceration were condo Red exaaly according to the regulations in the different ceremonials in the official Riper. This whole plan of the ceremony we published ca." (lllCirtd . t/ on Tuesday last, and consequently our readers are in full possession of all that passed upon that extraordinary occasion. Even the Paris Papers admit that they have nothing to add that could make our account more complete and satisfactory. We feel no little pride and pleasure when we reflect upon the many important occasions in which we have had the good fortune to outstrip all our contemporaries in priority of information. Should a continuance cf the same industi k be able to command the same success, we pledge ourselves the present instance of it will not be the last. On the Ist of December, the Senate were introduced at the 1 huilbaies to his Mock Majesty, who made a speech upon the occasion in which he asserts that his " descend ants shall long preserve the Throne." A man, who was a fugitive in Syria, a deserter in Egypt, and in a few months after became First Consul of France, might be supposed to think less favourably of the constancy of Fortune, than to expect she will never prove fickle to himself or his deseendmts. Lours IV. was not ten hours a corpse, when his will, regulating the succession to the throne, although sanetirmed by Parliaments and Councils, and a reign of 60 years, was set aside, almost without a previous discussion. Upon the same day, the Senate and Tribunate delivered congratulatory addresses to the POPE, in the Thuilleries ; the very place, where the very same men, in 1799, denied their God, and renounced their religion, Yesterday a Court of Direaors was held sr the Fast India House, which adjourned at six o'cicc.k, till Tuesday next.

The boisterons weather that has prevailed since the attack upon Fort Rouze, at Calais, has prevented us from receiving the inll particular, of the damage done.

We find, however, by the letter of our Falmouth cor respondent, that the Artabordpacket arrived there on Saturday last, after a passage of only five days ; consequently she could not have left Lisbon pre viously to the 2cl of December, six days aft 'r the above gentleman is stated to have reached it; and it does not appear that Mr. Fetal had arrived in Lis boa when the Aer4/ealsailed.—(ErcterF/yingPest.)
