The journey of the Empress of France having been delayed. h.ir Majesty did not arrive until yesterday afternoon, in this city. At nine in the :naming, the public fun&ionaries, civil and eccle siastical; the Ou;srds of Honour of the Emperor, a detachment of hussars and gendarmerie, went to meet the Empress. ' A canopy was prepared at the gate of Avroy, to receive her. A discharge of ar tillery, and the ringing of bells. announced her ar rival, which took place amidst the applauses of an immense crowd of people. At night there was a display of artificial fire-works, in fiont of the hotel of the Prefetture, occupied by her Majesty, and the principal squares of the city were illuminated. This morning, at ten o'clock. the Empress set out upon her departure, for Aix-la-Chapelle, and was saluted ea her way by a discharge of artillery, &c.

We hear that his Imperial Majesty is aftively em ployed, not only in inspeaing the flotilla at Bou logne and the camps along the coast, but in every thing necessary to promote the success of the expe dition against England. A rumour has been propagated, th It a part of our armament had already sailed in the presence of the Emperor ; but afterwards it was found out, that it was only a convoy and ..‘too gun-boats from Calais and Dunkirk, which had sailed. and arrived at Boulogne. The enemy appear to be very atten tive to the movements of our arm: . and navy. The moment of attempt cannot be distant, though it is believed that his Majesty will, before the expedition sails, review both the sea and land troops destined to invade England. Ili' Majesty is daily expefted both at Dunkirk and at Ostend, where detachments of his Guards have already arrived. The Minister of the War Department, Decree. has arrives! At Boulogne frosts Havre, where he has been to hasten the departure of the centre of the imperial flotilla for sea. NAGUC, AVOIST 4. According to letters from Vienna, of the 18th ult. the mediation of Austria has been offered to restore peace between England and France. According to recent letters from Val is, the Rus sian Charge do iffairrs still continued there ; hat, at the departure of these letters. it was reported that he had already demanded his passes to leave France. Letters from Ghent, of the Ist instant, mention, that the day before a severe cannonade had been heard along the coast, from the Mouth of the Scheldt to Boulogne. The English pay, however, particular attention to what goes forward at this last place. They make diversions, and attack several points on our coast. But the Emperor, who has been present and witnessed these attacks, has taken such measures, that if the enemy should return, he s;iall be received as he deserves, and nothing shall impede our undertaking when the troops are ready or ordered to embark. The Minister of the Marine has frequent confer ences with the Emperor in the presence of the Mi nister of the War Departm.• nt, and of the commas ders of our army and navy. It is yet uncertain when his Majesty will leave Boulogne, though he is every :nomer t roected at Calais, Dunkirk, and Ostend. They write from Antwerp, of the date of the 2d inst. that a conspiracy has been discovered among the soldiers of the 112th Regiment, chiefly Bel gians, se:.o formed a plan of desertion over to England. The ringle..a.le.s have been already carried before the Military Commission of the '24th Military Division at Br assets, and will probably be shot. THE BRITISH PRESS. FROM THE DUTCH PAPERS.

Letters front Marseilles of the date of the 2..1.1 ult. state, that the day before. five English boats had landed some persons near Laver.tion : upon which the Collefior of the Customs, Faynn dc Stint LAU rent, colleCted all the Custom-house officers, anti put himself at their heal. After a severe atlicr, which continued all the night, the English were obliged to re-embark, leaving behind thirty per sons upon the field of battle. Three Genoese feluccas have been burned by the English, in the very harbour of Marseilles, because they were usable to carry them away. Such im pudence has not been witnessed for a long time. Ac cording to the report of the Commanding Grneta, it is intirely owing to the courage of Falun de Saint lament, and the detachment under him. eh.: no mote mischief has been done. We are assured that the Emperor of Rassia has seat a declaration of great consequence to our go vernment, with a courier rho anived here some Jays ago. On the . from sit o'clock in she awn ing to two o'clock in the afternom, the Emperor inspeßed the maneruvres of the second divislan of the camp near Boulogne. The same d ty the Emperor inspected that part of the flotilla, such as pinnaces. St:. destined to use the oars. The neat day his Majesty reviewed the gun-boats, and other armed vessels of the flotilla. He was very inquisitive as to every part both of the military and economical part of the difformt flotillas, and de clared himself highly sassfieJ with the order and discipline that prevailed every where.

Colonel HOVONTON, we believe, Igings home the ratifications of the important Treaties •f Peace, be. tureen our Governments in India, and•the NlAmtta Powers. The intelligence of the arrival of the above ships in India gave very general satisfaaion at the India House, and at LLOYD'➢, as considerable apprehen sions had been entertained of their safety, in conse quence of the different reports lately circulated. Phis account, added, to the safe ariival o£ the China fleet, must quiet the public anxiety with re 'peel to any danger to be apprehended from our enemies, east of the Cape; and, in spite of their boast, we find that our fieet , ,, with very trifling ex ceptions, carry their merchraidi.e in safety, from cue part of the globe to the oth.T.r.

' Ole French Generals RULDET and Gsovcnv have arrived from France, and passed through this place for the Camp of Zeist, lately augmented by the 18th Regiment of the line, of wkch only one battalion continues in garrison here and at &herd ing. This camp is now complete, and contains 19,000 Tench troops, under the command of Ce. neral MA a %fowl., and 6000 Bata:ians, commanded by General DUMONCCAU. It is the common opi nion, that these mops are more destined to serve as an army of reserve to the army of Hanover, in case of a continental war, than to invade England. Se veral Prussian officers of superior rank have visited General Ken esoNa at Zeist, and admired the order and regularity of this encampment, fortified in a manner that it can resist for months the attacks of armies of 100,04 0 men. Some Dmi•l: and Swedish officers have besides arrived there; but the french commander is particularly attentive to Prussians, for whom he keeps open table every day. It is re• ported, that an additional column of 10,000 French troops will arrive from the interior, in the course of this month. It is not known whether they are to stay in this republic, or continue their march for Germany."
