The Emperor tra velled by the grand road along the banks of the Rhine, and the Empress ascended the river in a yacht. All the city crowded to see them pass, and they were received amidst the thunder of the most lively acclamations. la the evening all the streets and public monuments were illuminated with as much taste as magnificence. His Majesty, the Em peror. gave audience this day to all the au thorities. tie conversed in particular with the Members of the Tribunal, and of the Chamber of Commerce, and with the Municipal body, upon every point that could interest their commercial claims, or those of the city. A numerous crowd passes whole days under the windows of the palace. which the Emperor inhabits, expecting with impa tience the moment in whit's they may enjoy the hap piness of seciag him. This crowd is incessantly re newed, and as often as His Majesty appears, his presence excites the repeated shouts, Tics !'Emperor. Monsteut ). SAM'S OP THL ♦ISTULA, SEPT. 30. The political communications And relations be tween France and Russia have now ceased b}• the departure of the respedive Legations from St. Pe tersburgh and Parisi it is, however, understood, that this will not oe followed by a war, without the intervention of some new circumstances. ITALY. SEPT. 20. The following Cardinals Ism intended to accom pany the Pope to Paris : Catilintals Consalvi, Joseph Doria, Dugnani, Fesh, Casselli, and Oppizoni. During His lloliness's absence, which will continue about two months, the Cardinals Antonelli, Braschi, and Artonius Dacia, are to be the regents of the Papal States. Eves during the last war the Court of Portugal agreed to pay the King of Sardinia a certain sum yearly, of which Russia has taken upon her 73,0::0 roubles. Even England has now relieved Portugal with paying annually to the Ling of Ssrdinia 14,0004 sterling. 11/tout. OCT. 6. It can no longer be doubted that our Government will undergo insprlrtant changes, which, it is gene rally believed, will consist in the appointment of the Ambassador Schimmelpennick to be President for life, with an authority suitable to that dignity, and assisted by a College of Government, consisting of Ave members. Advice' have been received by our Government that more than 300 vessels, both French and Bata •iaa, which were colleaed at Ostend, have arrived at Deskir*, under Vice-Admiral Verheul. All are assesillfed at Boulogne, where the Emperor Napo leon is again expe:WA is a short time, when great evsnts may be looked for. SINECI, OCT. 8. The Swedish ship laden with timber, detained by the English in the Cattegat, has been obliged to follow an English ship of war to England. STOCKHOLM, SEPT. 2 It was on the 16th, that the French Charge d'Af faires, C.iillard, demanded from our Minister of the Foreign Department, his pass, which was imrne. diatcly delivered to hint by the Police Director. Ile left this capital in the evening of the 17th, without taking either personal or written leave of any of the members of the Diplomatic Corps. 1 It is a division of the regiment of lonkoping which is ordered as a guard of honour to Louis I XVIII. The regiment cf Calmar, with that of Croneberg, is ordered to embark for Pomerania. CALMAR, UM !8. The Count de Lille, and the Duke of Angon lemc, arrived at the island of Ocland, from Riga, and ;cached this city on the 46th in the morning. They were received at their landing by the Governor, the military corps, the Consistory, and the Magistra cy. Their residence is at present in the Govern ment House. Their retinue consists of the Duke De Bienne, the Counts Chatterault and clear ty, and the Marquis De Donaay. PETlttlarlV;i4, SIFT. 25. On the 21st, the French CAari7e d'Afairts, M. de aayneeal, left this city, after haying had the day before a c3nfertnce with :he Minister for r, - reign Affairs, Prince Ceattoryski. 1-lis departure has been notified by the Litter to the Diplomatic Body resident here. in acircular note. The Irc.s:h Commercial Agent lAirops, however, till conti n.,es here. The Auditor of the Papil 11'w:cation. M. Ale sini. has at length, u was long expo:U. teceived notice to depot. OASIS, OCTOSEII 7. One Odduhorthy de la Tour, formerly a play^r, afterwards Reader to Gustavus 111. and who for there last fifteen years has resided here as Literary Ag •ot for the King of Sweden, has been arrested by the Police, and sent to the Temple. :he privateer Payche has arrived at the Isle of France with seventy persons wounded in an engage. ment with an English East Indianian from Bengal, which escaped. Mr Lesseps, Deputy Commercial Commissary at Alexandria, has been appointed by the Emperor a Commissary General in Egypt; a place of great importance in the present circumstances. Religious schism continues to disturb the people, by the superstitions and anti-patriotic conduit of se veral returned priests. At Chatillon, Angers, Cha telnault, and Angouleme, blood has been spilled by the professors of a religion of peace and charity. The churches have bee.) assailed and taken pos session of by the contending parties by turns ; and, it is with regret we state, that the congregations of the nonjuring, and, of course, unconstitutional priests, are more numerous than those of the con stitutional clergy. Some measures of severity will certainly be resorted to, should not his Holiness, during his stay in France, by Isis example and ex hortations, be able to crush a religioul faAion, the only one still subsisting in the French empire. Sedan has lately been very much agitated by religious quarrels and disagreements. Most of its principal manufacturers are protestants, but the mass of the low people are Roman Catholics ; and those again are divided by an unfortunate schism. By the religious tolerations so graciously permitted by the Emperor, the protestants have there their churches, and public worship, as well as their Ro man Catholic brethren; but, as the former are the richest, their temples are much better than those of the later, who laid aside their reciprocal a•simosi ties, to unite in taking p sssession of the temples of the protestants, in which they succeeded, until a brigade of gees d'art/ter, by the requisition of the sub-prefeet, arrived, and restored their property to the lawful owners. Order is now re-established, but it is deplorable to witness the necessity of keep ing garrisons in these sacred buildings for preserv ing peac:, where the tbdanthropte doctrine and pure morals of Christ are preached. The skeleton reginsmts of those corps which sere ed in St. Domino, where they suT.tred so much, are ordered to be completed at Bourdeaus, where 411 officers, formerly helanging to them, hot now 011 leave of absence at Paris, have received orders from the war office to join. General Jun it, Colonel-General of the Hussars, late Commander here, has obtained the Emperor's permission to pass the winter in this capital, where he arrived with tea aiJ-de•camps yesterday. THE POPE. The Cardinals, who are to come here with the Pope, are to be lodged in the hotels of our different Ministers. The right wing of the palace of the Thuilleries, with the apartment occupied formerly by his Highness the Arch• Treasurer, Le Brun, are preparing for his Holiness. They will be entirely new furnished. One of the small saloons will be converted into a private chapel. During his Hob- ness's stay, he will be served from the Imperial kitchens, and have a table with as many covers as he shall demand. The Insperi si prefe.lc of the palace, ehantb,Tlains, and maitre. d'hote/, are to attend and obey all his Italinest's commands. A guard of honour of 100 men will do duty daily in the apartments of his Holiness, who, when he goes any where, is to he escorted by fifty of the guides on horseback, of the Imperial guard. It is said th.st the Sacred College has made some objeaions to his Holiness's residence in a palace where the infidels, the Mahometan Mamelakes, do duty ; and that the Emper.sr, with that deliette retpert which his Ma jesty alutotyt has shewn to the religious scruples of timid consciences, has given order that this corps of his body guard shall be sent to Fontainbleau, during the Poye's stay in France, or, at least, as long as he is at Paris. Some member of the clergy is ordered to Paris, from every diocese of the em pire, to be present at the coronation, and to receive the blessings of the sovereign Pontiff, who, after the coronation ceremony, will give his Is:mesh:lion in the Chapel of the Invalids, and consecrate the new colours of all the regiments of the Imperial army. His holiness has promised to offi iAte pon tifically in all the churches of the capital by turns, and they vial all be presented with some precious relics, or other curious articles, which he brings with him from Rome ; these former remnants of saints, being unfortunately and sacrilegiously burnt, de stoyed, or dispersed, by the worshippers of the Goddess of Reason, or by the fanatic theophilan thropists, during a), anarchy under Robespierre said the Directory. It continues to be reported, that a general council of the Gallivan Church will be as sembled during his Holiness's residence in France, of which he will be the president. Hitherto, how ever, the Minister of Worship has not issued any convocation for such a council; probal,ly every . thing is not yet settled with his Holiness on this po:..t so necessary for the quiet of consciences.— (Corner des Speetttek I Cardinal Fetch, as Archbishop of Lyons, has pur tha<ed fur one minion of livres (41,0n01. ) an ablsey near that town, which be has given as a seminary for young men intended for the ch:s-ch. l: has ob ta'ned usual pri - efieses from the Emperor. THE BRITISH PRESS. LOIN DON, MONDAY. OCTOBV4 22. La Medea and La Chard, two of the Spanish fri• gates, captured off Cape St. Mary, near Cadiz, arrived at Plymouth, on Friday last. Property to the amount of 1,000,000 of dollars has been found on board of them, besides much valuable merchandise. Both of these frigates suffered a considerable loss in killed and wounded, and were much damaged in their hulls and rigging, before they struck.— Of the crew of the M.rccdes, the frigate that blew up, consisting of 500 men, only 90 were saved. Among those that perished were, the Captain, his wife, and sevenchildrea. La Fame, the remaining frigate of the Spanish squadron, owing to contrary wind, and the difficulty of getting up her anchors, was not brought into Portsmouth harbour until Saturday. She has on board 50,000 dollars, said to be private property, besides a valuable cargo of merchandise. Until our differences with Spain are brought to an issue, the Spanish officers are to be at full liberty to go to any convenient town on their parole ; and the seamen are not to be considered as prisoners of war, but are to have the same indulgence as our own people. It is now evident that the capture of the Spanish squadron is not a solitary case, but part of a new system of energy and decision adopted by our Government. Several outward-bound Spanish ves sels have been detained at Cowes, and in the river. Great and unusual staivity are said to prevail in our ' naval as well as military departments. Several more ships are reported to have been put in commis ion, and some additional regiments are about to be raised. Every encouragement will be given to complete the old regiments, and the second battalions already ordered. We have heard that a plan has been laid before Ministers, by some of our first military cha nnel.% and is now under consideration ; according to which, instead of the often hazardous and always uncertain capture of Spanish treasures on the main, an expedition is proposed immetlately to be fitted out, sufficient to conquer those provinces from which Spain draws her wealth, and by it deprive 80, A ARIZ of one of his principal resources for paying those banditti, who protea his usurpation, and to whom, in return, he promises proteaion and universal plunder ; who hare already laid waste the Continent, and are now threatening our shores with their polluted presence. In case this plan meets with approbati n, a nearer alliance with the American State. is said to be intended, to afford them, as well AS Great Bri tain, an opportunity to avenge those insults and provocations of the Court of Madrid, known to be the consequences of the diaates of the Revolu tionary Court of St. Cloud, which would cease to tyrannise in Europe, did it not keep all the world in continual agitation by its dared plots and preten sions, or by its indirea influence. After a passage of eleven days. Louis XVIII. the Duke of ANGOULUE and suite, landed on the 2tith ult. at Calmar. from which city letters were received in town last Saturday of the 29th ult. They speak of the highly honourablereeeption His Most Cm ILIST I A MAJLSTY met with, the King of Swama having carried his generous and delicate attention so far as to order persons of his own household to wait upon him, and the same hiinours to be shewn to him, as if he were already seated upon the throne of his dares tors. At landing, His M,.1 [ST Y was saluted by all the artillery on the ramparts, and the Swedish Governor of the Province and City of Calmar ad dressed Ilk MAJZSI Y 11?.011 in these words: " Staa—:)n the part, aad by :ha centrum.' ut my Gracious S.tvercego, I have the hoarser to evm.,hatent your Nl,,esty. lit hewer tames, Seedv.h Mono : he have ',sited F r ance ; your Majesty o the first Ks.tig of France and Navarre who Ito n•mrs this C with his Rtes.:rice—War your Ilinetty hod ytnar rev. knee here as agrerahle Ili we have order. to make It, and ray leave filweden to woad thee rune of your Maje.ty's att:esters 111 France." The Governor then presented the Colonel and Officers of the Regiment of Jonkopin, ordered to do duty u guards of honour to the King of Fa A vet.

ThoJer the King , of FaArics had declin.ri all p,r'slic Is s nouts, they were, nevertheless, t !oat, as t!;e Kin of SwLorts h al. ig'iven positive order; on ft': subject to his gov.n.:(.,r.

The Quern of Fit ANC F., and the of .ksuoui.Estu, still reside at W4ISAW. A private letter from 1 (=burgh, of the 9th itht, states, as a common report in the pali:ical circles of that city, that RONA r•ar t has made new overtures, not only for arranging the differences between France and Russia, but for a general pacifi:Ation, h:. a r.. newal of his former plan, for assembling a Congr,,, At I lamburgh, in the course of the wirer. Cie principal reason why several of the f nc •.1 bassadors in France were ordered to Ai x.!.5.0 from which the Austrian Minister, Coont de Co. assrzi:t., and the Prussian Minister, Marquis Lt. cassia, sent couriers to their respe&ive Courts. These proposals have been also transmitted to St. Petersburgh ; but as to England, Boma emi will not coasent to the reception of a Br;siib negociator at the proposed Congress, unless land shall previously agree to al arrn;stice Europe, and, of course, to raise the blockade ot the French ports.—This proposition is evidently mere intrigue to 101 l the Continent into a fatal secu. rity, and corresponds with Box AP ARTI'S old polity to persuade the world that he wishes for pelco, while every enlightened politician well knows, that war is necessary to the safety of the Usurper, and the permanence of his usurpation. An absurd paragraph appeared in a morning parer of Saturday, pretending to be the answer of the Kn . ; of PRUSSIA to the letter delivered from the Kin: of Swept'', by General Baron ARSIFELD, in the latter end of September. The King of Pai could not, as the answer imports, be ignorant of bur amount of the respeetive forces of Swelen France in Hanover and Pomerania. It is imontr ble that he should desire t'4 King of Swro!... with his 5000 men in Pomerania, nit to t•:rr.,:et the French force of 30,000 marauders in Hal over. Such a caution, whether as a reque:a r a command, would be rti.li. ulous. Be.ides, w.re the King of SS% EoLs desperate enough to much with a handful of men against su:h a nume rous foe, he would be obliged to vi 'late the neutral territories of Prussia and Mecklen burgh Schwerin, before he could reach Hatt over. The reverse of the stateroom to which We allude, is the faCt. BONAPARTE, with his camp near Looenburgh, threatens I lolstein, Meck lenhurgh, and Swedish Pomerania. The ques tion put by the King of Stet foto was, whether the King of PRUSSI s would suffer the tzanquilii:y of the North of Germany to be disturbed by any attempt of the French upon the Swedish P:uviree ? had the answer, as might be eapeded from Prus sian policy, stated generally, that His Mslur •r would oppose all attempts for that purpose. Two Flamburgh Mails arrived on Saturday v. it!i letters and papers to the 10th. The Kiugof Fr ANC E and the Duke of Amoon (Ant landed the 25th At Calmar, in Sweden, and were received with ail the honours due to their rank. An article from Hart burgh, ti the 9th, says, there is a hope that the differences between France and Russia will he Ami cable settled, through the mediation of a :;•r-i: power, meaning, no doubt, Prussia. Mr. SAVr a, one of His Majesty's Messengers, sv l l lately arrived in town with dispatches from JACKSON. at Berlin, returned on Saturday for above place, with Goverment dispatches, for Mt. Jacasolll, which are said to be of great importance. Mr. Row, the King's Nlessenger, set off on Saturday with Government dispatches, for the lion. Mr. Pantry, at Vienna ; and also with variour Tate letters for Mr. Atsurasor, who is drraiaed there upon his way to Constantinople, in COMO. quence of Mrs. Aar I KNOT'S fr.vvvrbetia4.
