- 7 7 FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FROM Ti FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS, NOV. S. The First Secretary of our embassy to the Court of Vienna, Mr. Daudun, has been appointed to fill the funSions of a Charge d'AFaires, until the arrival of another Ambassador. The Counsellor of State, hampigny, our late Ambassador to the Emperor +if Germany, is expeded here next week from l'inue, and will not return to Vienna. The re- oort that the AustriaaAmhassador here, Count de t.:obentael, is recalled, is without foundation. His Ezuellency, on the contrary, is making great pre. oftations to celebrate, not only the d.►y of Mango ' ition of his own Sovereign as an Emperor of Au- Fla, but the day of the coronation of his Sovereign .14,, the Emperor of th- French.—(Jcurnal des De(rneurt.) The principal deliberations or a.

This plan, when sanainned with the approbation of the Dia, will cause all uncertainties to cease, and the lost tranquillity to return. It will cause the f) • resay of France to be rtvered as much as her power has been dreaded.,---/Mid.) Ile American Minium to England, Mr. Monroe, who had the honour of being presented to the Em peror lan Sunday, was received in a most gracious manner, and his Majesty condescended to converse with him for a quarter of an hour. The obje& of this 'Minister's arrival in France is said to be to obtain information of the Emperor's opinion concerning the diEeteness which subsist between America and Spain, since the former purchased Louisiana. He lea alreAdy had several conferences with his Excel. ' item M. TaLyrand, and intends, according to re pert, imeisolipstßior tae Naive] of the new Anse- Skim Asap General Armstrong, to set out for Madrid.

His Excellency is the intimate and confidential friend of the present worthy Amerman hesilleal, and very popular and 1 , •n-erinl with bit party, the Anti-Federalists, whose 4trachment to France, and hatred to England, do t`tnr equal honour in the eyes of all persons abhor ring the tyranny of Great Britain, and loving the .tilierty and independence of mankind.—( La Qv' dr Coked). It is said that Mr. de la Rochefoucauld, our hli nister to the Court of Dresden, has presented a note ;to the Elator of Saxony, against the scandalous impolitic endurance with which English goods rained so enter his states, particularly against Cie manner in which they are permitted to be dis posed of, daring the annual fairs at Leipzig, to the great loss and depression of German industry, and .10 the ruin of the Gamma manufanurers. It is sold that the English trade draws annually from the continent, only by sales at the fairs of Franckfort, Leipzig, Brunswick, Munster, hc. upwards of three hundred millions of byres in ready money (12,000,00014. The interest, safety, as well as the Phonour of Germany, require that these indite& contributions, which the continent yearly pay to enalale England to keep her financial and maritime t)ranny, shall cease.—(!J./ Among the numerous fetes which will distinguish the attachment of Frew-lawn, as well as the gcatr vac or aJsuration of foreigners on the day of the Emperor's coronation, those given by the Ratavian Deputies will nut be tile lea't brilliant. His Excel lency, Mr. de Schimmolpenniack, sent, upwards tf two months age, orders to his Mitre d'Hetel, to begin the preparations by several changes and im provements is that extensive hotel in the Roe de Lille, occupied by his Excellency, and by the Bata vian Legation. As a temporary throne is eretted in the grand saloon, many suppose that the Em peror, or at least some members of the Imperial fa mily, will honour these fetes with their presence. The Wetzlar Gazette says, that the matters to be discussed at Ratisbon, immediately after the re turn of the members of the Diet, consist of three points : First,—The Grant (ocfroil on the Naviga tion of the Rhine. Second,---The Supplementary Indemnities to be allowed the Eleftor of Bavaria, the Eleetor, Arch-chancellor, and several other Ger man Princes, Counts, and Barons. Third,---The Creation of a new Elator in the person of the Asa duke Antonie, Grand Master of the Teutonic order. Letters from Hamburgh state, that the Cham berlain Novosiltzoff, sent by the Emperor of Russia, with a diplomatic mission to England, after being tossed about for some days in a Russian frigate, during a storm, in the Gulph of Finland, was obliged to return to Cronstadt. Ifs journey is, however, considered of such consequence, that he was ordered to travel by land over Sweden, and embark at Gothemburgh for England. Bua voyage ! —lslootroal de, Deresevears.) On the 19th ult. His Excellency Field Marshal Jourdan, reviewed the troops lately encamped between Rimini and Pesaro along the coast of the Adriatic Sea. He declared himself perfectly satis fied with their ntaaceuvres and evolutions. These troops, who already amount to 12,000 men, will be augmented with 4,000 from Bologna, and 4,000 from Tuscany. They are to continue encamped during the winter. The loss by sickness among the troops in garri son at the Isle (Elba, though it has nearly ceased, required new reinforcements, particularly as an English fleet, with several transports, have, for some time, been hovering about its vicinity.— With the usual atlivity which distinguishes all (unc tionaries employed and in confidence with the Em peror, Field-Marshal Jourdan, within three times twenty-four hours after the courier had arrived from the L'Lle d'Elba, saw three thousand men em barked and under sail, so that no danger from an F.nglish attack is entertained on that interesting part of the French Empire. Several reinforcements have been sent to Corsica. It is said that Government has received informa tion of a plan of the Anglo-Russians, in the Medi terranean. to make an attack upon this Island, as well as on the L'lsle d'Elba. Let them. however, remember the issue of their union in Holland, in 179:), or the Mediterranean will witness their dis grace, as well as the North Sea.—liournel des Do. Isitssurs.) THE BRITISH PRESS. LON DON, THURSDAY, NOVIIIIIk 15. We received again yesterday, and, we believe, again exclusively. some more of the small French Journals up to the 4th instant. They speak not only of the gracious manner in which Mr. MoN2OII, the Amesisan Minister to our Court, was received at that of the Thuilleries ; of his great merit to de serve such a reception ; but, also, of the known po litical attachment of himself and his party to France. The °Ned of Mr. MONROE'S journey to France is said to be, as we had already sup posed, to settle the differences between America and Spain; end, if we are to judge from the lan guage of the French writers, no apprehension is to be entertained of any rupture between these two states, as it would throw America into the arms of Great Britain. Spain will, probably, be forced by BONCPARTI to give up Florida to the United States, the value of which, he will, no doubt, put into his private purse; and afterwards, when once at peace with England. either extort some more money, or oblige Spain to reclaim it, and his as sistance to reconquer it. He will certainly not lose such an opportunity of invading and plunder ing the American continent, after having enslaved' and exhausted that of Europe. These speculations perfcelly coincide with Box A r A RI s's known cha raker and condua, as well as with the contents of a late letter from our Paris correspondent, who assures us, that Mr. Monitor is very much no ticed, not only by the mock Ehltraoa at his sham Court, but by his satrap TA t.t.sv •I 4 o, whom he has seen almost daily since his arrival in the capital of France. BoN 's former insolent beha viour to all neutral diplomatic agents accredited to our Court, who for pleasure or business have visited France, is in the memory of the Pari sians, who, according to our correspondent's letter, already regard Mr. MONROE as a future Presidrut of America. They remember in what manner the Swedish Minister here, Baron StLi - emu:Lau wag treated in 1801 ; the Austrian Ambassador here, Count STAILNEKIRRO, during his passage through France, its 1802; and the Da nish Ambassador here, Count Wants J AatssEso, when, last year, he came, by way of France, to oc cupy his post in England. The French papers announce, that the intrigues of Bon AP Aar t, last summer, at Aix.la-Chape.le and Mentz, are upon the eve of completion ; and that his plans of plunder and power in Germany will be immediately discussed at the Diet of Ratisbon. If the contents of a paragraph in the French papers can be depended upon, the late impolit:c conduft of the Court of Vienna may be explained by the circumstance that BONAPARTE intends to make the brother to the Em peror of Gs mmmmm , the Arch-Duke ANTOINE, a new revolutionary Eleftor. 'ln this new revolution in the constitution of the German Empire, there is not the least question of Russia, the guarantee of the last, and by this petty vengeance and mean insult, the Cor sican intends to 'exclude her in future from all interference in the politics and destiny of Germany. A paragraph says, that the Anglo-Russian forces in the Mediterranean intend to attack Corsica and l'lsle d'Elba. In this we do not place much confi dence ; but it is certainly evident to every one, that these united forces cause a great deal of uneasiness to BoN AAAAAA . It was reported yesterday, that Government bad obtained information of the arriv,tl of Sir GEORGC RUNtIOLD at Paris, where he is said to hive been shut up in the Temple, after having previously been examired beft,re the Police Minister FOUCIIE, and other Members of Bon rAR TL'S Secret Police; on which occasion, he conduaed himself with equal firmness as Lieutenant lVruoar, another British victim of the barbarous Corsican. THe G Loa x of yesterday, a respenable Even ing Paper, contained the following interesting letter from its correspondent in Dublin:—" There are two political questions, of great importance, which will, I understand, be submitted to Parlia ment, in the course of the next Session, touch ing this country. The first is a provision for the Catholic Clergy ; a measure which will, it is said, be introduced under the auspices of the Minis ter sad which will, no doubt, pass into a law. The other is the total emancipation (as it is called) of the Catholic Body ; or, in other words, an abo lition of those frivolous and idle distinaions, which seem to have been kept on foot, merely to divide and distraft us. The secession of Mr. PIT r from the Ministry, upon this measure being rejected in a certain quarter, is considered as an irrevocab!e pledge for his support, while it is supposed, that the Opposition will sustain it with the whole weight of their talents and influence.—The Petition to Parliament is already prepared, and will be carried over by Sir THowas FirNLII, and other Catholic Gentlemen, who are as remarkable for their loyalty as the antiquity of their families. Mr. Haust.rou Ross AN is at present in Dublin, it was understood he would appear this day at the Bar of the King's Bench, and plead His Majesty's most gracious Pardon. It is probable he was pre vented by the great press of business, this being the last of the four days for moving for new Trials, and the three first having been occupied by the military duties of the Lawyers corps."
