On the 9th inst. the French Ambassador here, Ntarshal Brune, celebrated the coronation festival of his Emperor with great solemnity, by a Te Dern performed in the church cf St. Louis, and by a sumptuous entertlinment. The cannon of the Frcnch slops in the hsrbour were fired, by which one of the gunners had the misfortune to lose his right arm.

From ha tapers have the Public so f a ir a right to expect a compliance with this usage as from Tot Be ITltil Pace.. It is a task, ill the performance of which, we feel a mingled sentiment of gra titude and pride ; of pride at the success of *or exertions, and giaitorle fir the libeml pat r ge which has so amply rewarded them. It is also a most pleasing rellNlion that we hays at. t.:ine•l our present logh and respettable station be the fairest and mo,t t io n n ur a i.le means.

JANUARY 1. Two Gottenburgh Mails arrived yesterday, with Ilamburgh papers to the 18th. A letter from Vi enna gives an account of the ceremony of proclaiming FRANCIS the SECOND " Hereditary Emperor of Au stria." It formed a great contrast with the pomp and parade of BONAPARTE'S coronation—and how greatly does that contrast redound to the honour of the former? The person of FRANCIS the SECOND gave dignity to the scene. Its simplicity showed something pure and substantial ; while the Corm I- tion of Ii);IAPNIILTU had no dignity but what it sought to derive from pomp and parade. General BaosE was still at Constantinople upon the 9th of November, nor was he expeeted to leave it until spring. He is said to have discontinued all negotiations with the Ministers ; but we pledge our selves he will not remain an idle speCtator in that city. He has a well-trained corps of spies and emissaries to superintend ; and if by plots and intrigues he can weaken the Turkish Empire, if he can embroil it with its neighbours, or increase internal discontent and disaffeetion, he will be found an active and in. defatigable citizen. Yesterday, at one o'clock, the RUSSIAN AMIIAS SADOR transatled business At Lord Hasaowav's Office till two c.'clock. Mr. ADDINGTON had an interview with Mr. PITT on Saturday List, At Mr. HATULL'S Office, House of Commons. Report states, that there are to be several Minis- I terial changes, in consequence of Mr. AoutNOrosi's return to the Cabinet. They are said, but we do not pretend to say how truly, to comprehend the following : The Loaci CHANCILLOR to quit the Seals, and be appointed Lord President of the Council in the room of the Duke of Parr taw o, who retires on account of ill-he thh. Whether Lord ELDON will be Speaker of the House of Lords, or whether his situation with a sea in the Cabinet is reserved for Mr. AD• DINSTON, we have not heard. Sir WILLIAM eiI.APIT to be Chancellor, without the Speakership. The Honourable SP►NCER PttcrVAL to be Mat ter of the Rolls. Sir I'NOXAi MANNEII.III SUTTON 10 be a puisne Judge, in the room of Sir BSAUSIONT HOTUAIM, who retires. ROBLAT DALLAS, Esq. and VICAZIRY GIDDIr Esq. to be Attorney and Solicitor General. Mr. FRANZ has net yet arrived ; but it is said that certain advice of his arrival at Lisbon has been re ceived; and that he, accompanied by Mr. Hew r Ca, and Lnrd and Lady HOLLAND, will arrive in the Ta..nsiread packet, which is daily expetted to reach Falmouth. Lady HOLLAND, the day before her de parture from Madrid, is stated to have drawn a bill for 15001. on Mr. COUTTI, the London Banker. The accounts from Madrid are of so late a date as tlu. 3d tilt. They do not mention that any formal declaration of war had then taken place, but con firm the intelligence of the confiscation of all British property in Spain ; and add, that immediately after the • eiture of the few British vessels which were a t M. rya, guards were placed on the houses of our Consul and merchants at that place. The Spanish Ambassador is prepared to depart at a moment's Douce. A letter from Cadiz, dated the 27th of November, says, 4 , In consequence of the arrival of a courier from Madrid, the following notice WAS yesterday is sued by the Governor : " the Moat Catholic Majesty, Fein( juitly irritated by Me frequent insults lately filtered in hag tilg, has determined uw reprisals, and eat a .equestratinn n( a:I ltriti.h property within h. doininious."— Ihe leiter aild•, .on the prosoulrtion of this notice the utnio.t ein,tl.rnation pervad.sl every part of the city."
