PRIVATE LETTER. PARTS, arch. 2 0 , As our friend has promised to deliver this letter, I can state more at large the internal situation of our country. Never was Bonaparte more de %stud, but never was his government more firm or snore powerful. As it was ten years ago, 99 out of 100 of the people are dissatisiittl, but tremble under the criminal minority, with which he is surrounded, including all persons who owe to revolutionary Go vern:nents the impunity for former enormities which they have hitherto enjoyed, and who, therefore, are ready at all times to commit new on-s for its con tinuance. The real or pretended conspiracy lately proclaimed has rallied these round Bonaparte, who hasbeen able to convince them that their existence is entirely connected with his own. Among these flit 3 are many staunch republicans and lovers of equal:ty, who have consented to be the su!ljeßs of Bor.aparte, became they think the only means to preserve their lives, is to renounce their prin ciples. They an: i,e , ;ties all pensioners and place men under the Consular government, and rtr: , _ AS despotically over their inferiors, as :bey qu.etly submit to the tyranny of their supefior. moticn for changing the dynasty was made by Sieyei in the Senate, and carried unanimously, as l.atijaunois, And other refry Tory senator, were at the time upon missions in the departments. It is said, that several millions were distributed to con vince those 1et:711 , ,m who doubted of the jastice or policy of thix measare. It is belie.:ed that the co ronation of Bonaparte will not take place before his birth day, next Aujr..rt ; and those who ttes'ut peace, and v. ho see, in r:ery trifling incident, a step towards a pacilicatica, pretand that the ap poiatment of Joseph Bonaparte, is the army on the Coast, is conaefted with same pick of negotiation with gaghsad, and that the Fire Consul is evc^ ready to Sete some sacrifices, to be eeksawledg cal by ail otter Feretiitiry Prir.ccs with as sane -•~ as by his Fiats the hereditary 5c vereig:, of France. • It is reported in our diplomatic circles, that Tal leyrand has written to his consul, the Prince de Chahis, that the coronation of Bonaparte n a shill the Temple of Jaous for an oge, and from this it is concluded, that the war will soon be over. Un fortunately the language in the official papers, the violent expressions Bonaparte makes use of when ever he mentions England; the augmentation of Our army, now said to amount to 560,000 men ; the unusual activity in our dock-yards and arsenals, and the late purchase of naval stores to the amount of SO millions of livres, in Russia, rather prove the intention of our Government to command, than to negotiate a peace. Murat, Bacchiochi. Talleyrand, Berthior, and Jourdan, it is said, will be proclaimed at the coro nation, with some other civil and military persons, Princes of the Empire of the Gault, or, as some will have it, of the Franke. The former, or Murat, is, besides, to receive the staff of Constable of the Empire. The coronation will not take place as formerly at Beim-,. hut in the church of Notre Dame here. It is ever. reported that the Pope has been ittreted to perform the ceremony, and that his Holiness, during his stay here, is to occupy the apartments in the Thuilleries, lately inhabited by the Third Consul, who, with Cambaceres, is not only to be a Prince of the I..nyi.e, but a President for life ing,the Tribunate ; whilst Cambaceres has the same rank in the Senate. Whilst the brilliant feasts and amusements, which will be the consequence of the coronation, amuse tle imagination of the gay and giddy. all true patriots lament that Government should find it necessary to continue five hundred ant fire special military corm:6'sl:lnm, now sitting to try and con demn here, as well as in every part of France, persons accused of aels, which, in former times, our laws did not even notice, but which now are pu nished with death ; and that Bonaparte should march to his new throne between prisons crowded and scaffolds standing en permanence from Nice to Antwerp, and from Bayonne to Mentz ; and that thousands of families ate wretched, under the daily fear of imprisonment or transportation. On the other hand, though many executions have lately taken place, both here and in tl.e provinces, it is said, that, with some few exceptions, all the other imprisoned persons, or state prisoners, will. at ' the coronation, be pardoned, on condition of residing for the future in our colonies, where their rights of citizens or subjeas will be restored to them with their property. The late eomplaints of the inhabitants of the suburbs have been listened to, and the price of bread, meat, and wine, is diminished t though, accord ing to the letters from the departments, the lung rains and late frosts have injured both the corn lands and the vineyards, aad that to supply our nume rous armies with meat. five thousand bullocks hare ' been purchased in Holland, severs thousand in Ger many, fifteen hundred in Suitzerland, and ten thou sand sheep in Spain. In the army on the coast, the discontent has eer. tainly been great, but by ordering to :le interior, and to Italy, the corps ••••ist dissatisfied, and by changing 'heir (misters, who.e attachment to Irthe glue or Moreau was s..- -cted, tranquillity is se stored for the moment ; but the imparteace of the I soldiers, in remaining inactive upon the defensive, whilst your cruisers insult them, even in their en campments, and their ansiety.to possess those riches which, for the last twelve months, they hare been promised, by the conquests in England, is beyond belief, and will certainly break out in mutiny, should not Benaparte soon, either attempt the inva sion of England, conclude a peace, or begin a con tinental war. AU trade is at a stand, and new bankruptcies, here, 'at Marseilles. Bourdeaux, Lyusi, Nantes, and Rotten, have destroyed what little remained of commercial credit, as thirty of them were regarded as capital houses. Government has prevented the emigration to America of several hundred families, who, with the imp:eincnts of their trade, and their ca pitals, had engaged fsr the:: passage at Bourdeaux, Nantes, and Bayonne. A Peace, and a Cominer. cial Treaty with England, are the universal wi.!ees of the nation, with the sole exception of some few revolutionary fanatics. (tin 15ritisb pros LONDON, MONDAY, MAY 7. At 4 o'clock yesterday, aotleng Slue was stte.. , 7(l in the business of the new Ministevinl arrangemew. The Poiitkii Corps wag, bowever,divided And sub divided into dinner parties, for the evening; and ;t was expected that so:ne steps would have been taict.n in t h cz.arte of the night, towards an adj..stment of this mo.t ig and Mycosis= subject. Procrzsti - .At,,:n If ev:dentlr the best policy which the present Istni.ter can pursue, not only because it keeps the Chapter of Accidents open before him, but with a view to the best yorms'of accommodation, if fate so ordains it, that he must go out. The Opposition were aware of this, when they wished to fix this day as positively the last, for the Motions of the Marquis of ST AF FO D and Mr. Fox. Although the business has been thus protracted, it is the gene ral opinion that these Motions wilt not come on in their order ; and that, as frequently happens in ne gotiations of this kind, when the last moment ar rives, a proposition will be made, that may induce their farther postponement, or render them unne cessary. We received yesterday several Dutch and German Papers, some of se` late a date as the let instant. One of them states, that the troops to be employed in the expedition against England are now assem bled in the numerous camps between Montreuil and Blackenburgh ; and that the attempt of invasion will certainly be made in the middle of this month. The promise of invasion has bein so often made, and so often broken by the foreign papers, the London IPrints are now grown tired of repeating it ; but we must not suffer ourselves to be put off our guard, however confident we may be that the present threat is as idle as the thousands that have preceded it. I The substance of the foreign journals will be found in a subsequent column. We have also receivea a private letter, cont.tining much interesting informa• tion, upon the present state of France. We have received Paris Papers to the 22.1 ult. being one day later than those which arrived on Friday. They contain no information of import ance, but are filled with contemptible iti.ve4li`ve and calumny against Great Britain and its GovernmeAt. . • On Saturday Ili; MAJ EST Y rode in the Queen's Riding House s and yesterday walked in the Queen's Garden.

A gun brig, which . returned to the Downs on Friday, states five small vessels to have left Bou• logne on Thiw.day, when they ran to the westward under cover of their batteries, and that one of out cruisers ineffeivally attempted to intercept them. The flotilla in the outer harlanni every day assumes a different aspea, probably with a view to exercise its crew Lights have been displayed for some nights past along the coast, but the occasion has not been ascertained. Letters were on Friday received at the Admiralty confirming the accoont of the loss of the If.dad..rs store ship by fire. The officers and crew, except four seamen, were saved.
