FORETCY INTELLIGENCE. FROM THE PARIS PAPERS. PARIS. SEPT : .18. They write from Aix-la-Chapelle as follows— .. Before the Emperor blessed us with his august i-reiernce, the stories. ci ciliated both at Paris and in the Provinces, anneerning his MAjesty's he .Ith, cam ee us here marry unhappy moments, altheugh we heard no hing Iron - settee° is' but what was consoling; hat on seeing his Majesty's face, it is impessiele to feel any longer the kw anxiety. Health is as vi sible in his neasle countenance, as grandeur of soul, more than of stat:ott, in all his ,t ions. Nature des tined hint to rule over mankind with the same gene rosity as he governs his passin s. Hi s Majesty's conde scension and affability have gained all hearts, even those that before were averse to his d;gnity. from envy or prejudice. In the Monarch if the French we . do not see that haw: that stiffness ( roideur that formal etiquette, sehall commands the admire tion of fools arid the tespec i of slaves; Napoleon the First is nature het self. Reigning over epee people, with the free choice of thirty millions of . feeemi re his manner% as well as his language, are equally easy and graceful; and if. as must be natural, many approach with a kind of fear, Me greatest ma" *pen rorth, or ever bn,i, upon e.:r'h, all leave him with setisfaclion. accompe-iiel with one single re gret, that they all are not destined to be blessed with his presence every day, every hour, nay every minute of their lives. All pereons, who have been honoured with five minutes convetsation with his Majesty, are convinced, that were he to travel over the universe, and all nations in the universe had the liberty to sled their Sovereigns, Napoleon the First would soon he the Emperor of the universe ! As to his Majesty's august ('ousort, our beloved Empress. at hest the waters did not agree with her, and she was even ill ; but no sooner was that known, than all nee churches were crowded withchieful subjeds, implor ing the Atm eirty topreserve a health so neressary for the happiness of the political saviour of the world, and for the glory of France. [heir prayers were not ineffedual. Her Majesty soon recovered her former health and beauty, and we are now offering thanks in the same temples, where her Majesty Joins us with a devotion edifying beyond any language to express. Tea-s of joy are in all eyes in see ing the first of Sovereigns, the Consort of modern Charlemagne, kneeling before the sacred shrine of Charterer ire the First, and with the most fer vent pray' e s demanding blessings of this sainted Severeige upon Naoeleen the First, the only Prince whom s.i many a c es have produced as worthy to nice, him. In fad, between the death of Cliar lern.l.ple and the proclamation of Napoleon the Fir at, the French empire, and all Europe itself, have experienced an inglorious ioterregnuni ; and genera tions have been born and died without admiring a tidy great man." --(Courier de Liege.) CORONATION PREPARATIONS. The grand an d numerous fetes which will accom pany the coronation of our Emperor, are the com mon topics of conversation of all classes of people. It is surprised that Paris, on that occasion, will con tain no It s than three millions of strangers, if it he true, as generally reported, that apartments Are al ready hired for two millions of persons, of both vexes, of whom 200,n00 are said to be foreigners. Those in confidence of Government say, the two Kings, and ten other inferior Sovereign Prioces, will assist at this august ceremony; and, it pie-ewe, snake it more splendid. I hat day will tepee all the losses the Parisiasis have experienced for these lest sieteen years ; and even the lowest Parisam me chanic, if selver and iedustrinus, may coiled a hind sone., sum treserds future independence. re A er/e -iatoehirel oriservei, nothing is more enterei • g than to see the activity that reigns every where, and which causes all branches rf industry to fleurish, from the rich jeweller's niagazines, down or, the where woollen or silk garters. or wooden shoes ( weer) Are made. But it is particularly among our ntO liners, where ail heads rue busy tn I ( )Wive and all heeds occupied to compeer whet it is suppo sed will mest please the soinserous so angels exoceliel here.-- Houses of six stories, iii the Rue sr. Honore, are ern , : ed already with gmens, bonnets, shawls. IrAnekerehiets,caprees, &c. &e. ; and we have heard, ties - the amiable and fashinitAble Madame Le Moine he• red three Loge iiouses, and, to tier fifty ap prent ,:es, or %Yorke/rotten (.uiriots), has added sn mere e rrls, from I eerie, Marseilles, Bordeaux, and Stiasburoh. Her hinise. cu the Boulevard, is daily 'unneeded with a crowd of speCtetors, admit ing the rumesoes and earious produdions of her taste and ingenuity, her intezetive genius, and graceful per tormenc c. Sn ceir.4l:l are our merchants and t raaes men of pro table customer% that a jeweller, on the Quay d'Orfevre, has bought diamonds ho one mil lion twee hundred thousand livrere 5e,0001 ; and mortgaged, for fine months, his house in town, and two estates in the country, at the interest of six per cent. in the mec'h, to pay for them. Any body, vi.rting our coachmakers, may ci cent, from the R .e : t. Antoine, to the Place of Cermet, only in passing along the Bou!evards, twelve hundred new coaches, neerly finished ; and, ft is known, that double that nt.rr,b ,, : - b.i. been bespoken at Brussels, tit the famous c05....-Ineker, Sinsole. In the Ely sian Fields, we e..-r.ted, last SAttirtlao, sixty-sit temporary • mnder ho •see, that were ercai . l. r z, in tendei only for balls; and, on the Boulevard Neuve, from Rue fie VAirgeraol, to Jardin des Mantes, are Kfty-four buildiegs ter the ogee purpose. Two thousand three hundred and five petitions have al ready been presented to the Prete& of Police, for obtaining licences to open new coke-houses : and, in the raleis Royal Al ro c, twenty-tive new RestAu ratenrs have opened Looses, within this footieght. Eighteen 'v Theatres are already permitted to solar, in addition to the former ones, from the Ist of Neve-Mier, until the Carnival is over. We have heard, that several hundred petitions h e been presented, requesting permission to keep gambling histaae. but hitherto only forty-four are said to have succeeded. Of National Guards, from All the Ml ferent departments, forty-three thousand are ex pelled ; to lodge these, AS well as the thousands of other strangers. who, with difficulty, wed and ac cornmedation, it has been proposed to ermined temreetry batter cc, near the different ban ins, sui ficient for 500.0 Gr) persons to sleep in, at the ezpence of Government ; and it is said, that this plan has •litaincii the approbation of the Emperor. To pre vent, as much as possible, all accidents, which may be caused by such a concourse of people, a regulation nt the Police is in the Press, according to which, no person, of either sex, Frenchman or Foreigner, under pain of imprisonment, must walk, either day or night, without his pass, ur card of citizen, or hos pitality, in his pecket, or refuse to show it to the patroles, or to the police agents, who will be aug mented by fourteen hundred, from the Police Of fices in the provinces. According to the Registers of the Folice, the ladies of easy virtue at Paris have already received an augmentation of several thousands, among whom are counted, Spaniards, Italians, Swiss, German, And Dutch ; and the water and land-carria , ...e . daily import more of this frail commodity mowliandisr). Nothing but Vsvc la joie; is the order of the day, in preparing for a ce remony, w!Och will heal the w. unds of all French Patriots.---(Jourhal des .Speelactes). The great utility of the Senatorial Committee. which inspeas that part of our happy constitution guarantying the libert4 1 - f Me preen, is evident from Its numerous labours, from its assiduity to revise, and from its liberality to guide authors, who really are men of talents and genius. Not only the cor rect:on* of the enlightened members of this commit tee have improved their publications, but they have rewarded their industry, abilities, and patriotism. by recommending them to honourable and profitable places under government ; and genius and 'Amor will not in future in France starve in obscurity in garrets, or die from want in the streets, or from misery in the hospitals. They may aspire to the first places in the state, while the dull, indolent, or stupid rich may pride himself upon his affluence, but has no hope to usurp rank or purchase distinc dons ; and the man, whom he but lately regarded ' with contempt on account of his poverty. he will be forced to respea on account of his elevation, ob tained by merit. This liberality, or rather jastice, is recipro.:ally advantageous to government and to men of letters ; because, in return for its protection, the former is always cei Lain of the support of the latter. We have heard that, within these last three months, upon the recommendation of the Senatorial Committee, sixteen aiithors have been rewarded with employments by the Emperor, and arc now comfortably settled. Ot works presented to its approbation or revisal, twenty-five, which treat on politics, have been approved, and thirty-six rejeited as dangerous or absurd. Five historical publica tions have been approved, three are under cons der ation, and nine have been rejetted. Of poems, comedies, tragedies, dramas, &c. nineteen have been permitted to he printed, sixteen arc under consi deration, and fifty-five have been rejected. On phi losophy, twelve produCtions have been presented, of which eight have been approved, and four are under revisal. On natural hi,tory, on botany, anatomy, and other sciences, ten have been pre. sensed and approved. On religious subjeds, no less than thirty works have been presented, of which only six have been approved, the others continue still under scrutiny. In a time of schism, the child of revolutionary atheism or infidelity, government thinks it cannot be vies stria in adtniuing to the knowledge of the faithful, and to the meditation of all seas, opinion', or thoughts, either fanatical or exaggerated, either sophistical or problematical, which 'meow age indifference, or preach intolerance. Let all authors, oho %odic nn religious subjecis, remember, that the Catholic religion is the religion of the State ; and that its atipist chief, its visible head upon earth, the Sovereign Pontiff, will soon arrive in France, not only to perform the gems of ceremonies, but to quiet consciences, by dispersing that schism, which deprives so many of their hope and tranquillity, of a peace upon earth, and as Heaven 'mealier. What would his HoIi• ness think, were he, at his arrival, to find France inundated with honks and pamphlets, throwing out doubts nn, or insulting, every thing %%ha is sacred; which has constituted the happiness of former gene rations, in the belief of which our ancestors lived and died, and tier which they fought in the field, and bled upon the scaffold ? Government, with its usual generosity, tolerates all religions and all seas; lets Jews pray in their synagogues ; the Islusselmeu prostrate themselves in their mosques; the Protest ants sing in their temples; but not attempt to ridi cule each odic-, or unite together to rid:cn!e the title believer>, tix Remain Catih•hcs; such aa,, not withstanding it. Government will be ob liged severely to pitnish, as intended to cause hatred and disturbances. The Committee of the Weil!, of Pees, to which authors may send their produc tions, continues always to sit in the Police Office, under die Presidency of the Minister of the General Senator Fouche, and Messrs. Lemontey, La Cretelle, the younger, and I /esfaticher etz ; three men of letters are still attached to it.—(Le Ducail, Phdovuphiyee.) THE BRITISH Ptt ES& LOX DON, MONDAY, Ocroesit 1. No intelligence has been received from the Con tinent tincc Friday. We have, therefore, resumed our estracts from the small French Papers to the 19th, of which we are e lausitely in possessitai. We have also seen several Dutch letters, received by tho last Mail from Husum. One of them, which is dats'd Iligue 19th last, contains some interesting particulars.—lt says, " Botta, A NT L. has lung me ditated to change the Rotarian Government, being dissatisfied with most of its Members. At one time, it was supposed that he meant to make his favour. Vesueer. and SCHlVlScLremssicK. its Chief Magistrates, with the title of Consuls. At another time it was supposed, he intended to settle his bro ther Louis ;n Holland as Stadtholder. The pre vailing opinion, at present, is, that he has entered into an agreement with Prassia, to bestow upon the reditary Prince of Of ANC; e, the brother-m-law to the Prussian Monarch, the sovereignty over the Rota rian Re:sublic rads, the protetiGn of the French cm Aire." 'l 1.-rq plan is said to be the subject of the late deliberations and cotifereiices at the Hague and in-la-Chapelle, at which the Prussian agents always Attended with the French and Batavian Ambassa dors. Should such a change take place, it is almost superfinotts to observe, that the sovereignty of the young Prince of O uance will be a revolutionary usurpation during the life of his father. It is said that the King of SwEoss has made an overture to our Court for an offensive and de fensive alliance, and offered to augment his army by twenty new regiments, and to increase his navy in the same proportion. Should the proposal be accepted and carried into effect, it will be fol lowed. of course, by a subsidy. From the state of our relations with Russia, it is not probable that our Court will come to a final determination, without having previously consulted that power upon the subjea. In the mean time, however, it is said, that orders li tee been sent to our cruisers to proti.d the Swedish trade. Mr. PIERREPOINTp our Minister to the King of SwLot.N, has received orders to re turn to his post. The accounts by the last Ham burgh Mail stated, that he was at Stralsund, wait ing the arrival of Their SWEDISH MaJasrtes. Letters were received on Saturday from the ulna- drou off the Toad, brought home by the Argo. which on Friday arrived at Sheerness —Our ships had rode out the late severe gales without any ma terial damage, but some of the enemy's vessels were onset red on shore—they had not *hewn any fresh indications of putting to sea. At the Conl t, at Weymouth, on the t2Oth Sep tember, pr esent the Most Excellent Majesty in Council ; llis Royal Highness the Duke of SessEX was, ny His MAJESTY'S command, in troduced into the Privy Coui;cil, and His Royal Highness took his place at the Board, on Ilis M.t• ar.sz v's right hand. We have authority to state, that the Spanish Mi nister, his Excellency Le Chevalier D'Autsuat“, will grant passports to vessels loaded with grain, for the ports of Spain, if the merchants should con ceive such protections necessary for the security of their property, at present; and we are desired to contradict the reports which have appeared in the newspapers, contrary to this statement. The Right Hon. GLOR.E. Rost; is returned to serve for t he Borough of Christchurch. The lhrio Eticalreih, %V cit.l3 A N., from Stettin for London, is lost on the coast of Norway. The S a/ft, Fo a cm AN, from London for the Baltic, foundered in the North Sea on the '2 tsh ult. The Willmington, Wocrow a III), tram Philadelphia fur Rotterdam, is wrecked on the co ant at Zealand. No accounts appear its the French Papers of the action with the Airier which private ac couittx state to have Listed twenty minutes, and to have been attended with considerable loss on our side. - _ _ There was a report on Saturday that the French were in possession of the letters from India, on board the Althea, and they intended to publish tkem in the Monittur ; but we do not find any foundation for such a report. Toe 4lthen, Country ship, taken in India, was 00 tons burthen, and consigned to the house of Messrs. Git.t.sr and Enwa ans. The Admiral Rainier, Another Country ship, stated by the French Papers to he captured in India, is 820 tons burthen, and was the property of Messrs. Las( and Green. The transport, Georje, with provisions for Gib raltar, dropped down on Saturday for :ravesend, to proceed directly for Portsmouth, where she will join the convoy, going out with General Foa, to Gib raltar. _ _ All the private traders, who have hitherto pre vented an open rupture with the Court of DireElors, wete bu,ictl on Saturday in looking over their let ter> by the Attniral Ajax, fearin• some expressions and opinions may have escaped them, by which their interests may be inky ed with the Court of Dire.ctors A very important in ovement has lately be-t made in the bleaching of linen by Sir Jona v V PL[, one of the Barons of the Exchequer in Scotland. The process is entirely by steam, and the cloth is said to he by no means injured by the ope. ration. - - The Gazette of Senrday night contains a notice of ;in intended application to Parliament, for a Bill to Amend an AR of the 2tith of the present reign. entitled, •• An At for paving, cleansing, lighting, and watching the streets, lanes, and other public passages and places within the Manor of Southwark. otherwise called the Clink, or Bishop of Winchester's Liberty, in the parish of Saint Saviour.
