back, as also the members of the great Council, the grand ( hancellor, and the grand Treasurer of the Legion of Honour, met at the same place, and k their stations in the procession. . The Cardinal, Archbishop of Paris, with his 'Clergy, received his Majesty at the door of the 'Church, and presented to him incense and holy water: the clergy, in procession, emulated his Majesty, under a canopy, to the Imperial Throne, . to the music of a military march, and amid the Vadest acclamations. His Majesty was placed on the Throne, having behind him the Colonels General of the guard, the Governor of the Invalids, and the great Officers of the Crown. On the two sides, and on the second steps of the Throne, were placed the Grand Dignitaries ; lower, and to the right, the Ministers ; to the left the Marshals of the Empire ; at the foot of the Throne the Grand Master, and the Master of the Ceremonies ; in froni of the Grand Master the Grand Chancellor, and the Grand Treasurer of the Legion of Honour. The Aides•de-Camps of the Emperor were standing in a line, on the steps of the Throne : on the eight‘of the Altar, the Cardinal Le. gate was placed unoer a canopy, and in an arm chair, which had been there placed for him. To the left of the Altar was the Cardinal Archbishop of Paris, with his Clergy. Behind the altar, in an immense amphi.theatre, were ranged 700 invalids and 200 young pupils of the Polytechnic School. • All the nave was occupied by the Great Officers, Commanders, Officers, and Members of the Le gion of h honour. The Grand Master of the Ceremonies, having re ceived the command of his Majesty, invited the Cardinal Legate to officiate, and his Eminence began the celebration of the mass. After the Gospel, the Grand Master of the Ce remonies, having again received the orders of his Majesty, conduEtei to the steps of the Throne, the Grand Chancellor of the Legion of Honour. The Grand Chancellor pronounced an eloquent discourse on the events of this great day, on tire miseries of political troubles, and on the gratitude due to the her.), who, while he preserved the prin ciples upon which the Revolution had commenced, had been able to terminate the calamities which fol lowed it. The Orator pointed out, in a str.king manner, the daties which the institution of the Legion of Honour imposed on all its members, and forcibly displa)ed the numerous advantages which roust result from this union of the most illustrious supporters of the Government of the country. After this discourse, the great Officers of the Legion of Honour, being called successively by the Grand Chancellor, approached the thror.e, and in dividually took the prescribed oath. • The great officers having taken the oath, the Em peror covered himself, and addressing the Com. menders, Officers, and Legionaries, pronounced in a strong and animated voice these words : " Commanders, ofncers, legionaries, citizens, and soldiers, pow swear by your honour tv devote purselvei w the service of the empire, to the I.r:serest:on of its territory in its in tegrity, to the defence of the Emperor, the laws of the Republic, and she property wh..:h tiwy have consecrated, to combat, by all the means which justice, re-son, and the LIM, authorise, every enterprise which shall tend to restore the feudal regimen ; ba fine, you rweir to concur with all your power to the rualnte• . of liberty end equaluy, the first basis of sus constitution 111 the members of the Legion of Honour, standing. and, with their hands raised, repeated at once. I swap it The shouts of i'ioe E.,.; calm wee, then renewed on all sides. These last words, pronounced with the accent of a profound energy, impressed the minds of all present with a lively emotion, with which they long con tinued to be penetrated. It is difficult to describe the sensation which this moment produced. The monuments of French glory suspended in the ceiling of the hall, in which were assembled the bravest warriors; the numerous ranks of aged and wounded soldiers, and the youth representing the glory and hope of their country ; lastly, the religious solemnity of the altars concurred most powerfullyao exalt the ima gination, and give a presage o 1 the most glorious duration of an Institution formed under such aus pices. MASS being ended, the decorations of the Legion were deposited at the foot of the Throne, in golden hasons. M. Le Segur, the Grand Master of the Ceremo nies, then took the two decorations of the Order, and gave them to M. de Talkyrand, the Grand Chamberlain. The latter presented them to his Imperial Highness, Monseigneur Prince Louis, who attached them to the habit of his Majesty. New shouts of 'rive eEmprresr were then hear several time. repeated. The Grand Chancello7 of the Legion invited the eat (slicers to approach the throne, to receive suc cessively from the hands of his Majesty, the &co ra:ion which the Grand Master of the Ceremonies presented to him on a golden plate. I.ON DON, MONDAY, JeLY 30. We have authority to state, that His MAJESTY will go in the usual state. to the House of POETS to morrow, to prorogue the Parliament. It is con fidently stated, that the Rovu. Fawu.v will go next week to Weymouth. Yesterday we received Dublin and Waterford Papers of the t'St.h. The Wet rford Mirror contains the following paragraph : At break of day on Friday, sixteen men, well mounted and armed, at tacked and broke open the house of dons PHILIPSt at Ballyneety, county of Limerick, a Yeoman in the Hon. JOUR MASSY'S corps, and robbed him of his arms : they then proceeded to the house of Deals Ccanciv, also a Yeoman of the sa'd corps, and likewise plundered him of his arms."— This is an alarm'ng circumstance.—lt shews that the system of defenderism, t'i it preceded the rebel lion of 17953, has recommenced. A person sent from Inniskiilen to Dublin, upon suspicion of being AR INC.& O'CONNOR, on Monday last, underwent an examination at the Castle. He proved to be an English ger.tleman of the army, Who had been upon a visit to some relatives in the north of Ireland. It anpears from the English provir•.cial papers that NltCa is, the Iri.h rebel, tor whom a large reward has been offered by Government, is supposed to be in the neighbourhood of Liverpool.

Previous to their departure, ti.: y gave an audience to a great number of the nobility, and the members of the diplomatic corps. They were attended on their journey only by a few select and favourite counsellors and courtiers. Some say Baron 'honor is in the number. The Rus;ian Ambassador, Count R sso mOWNKI, had, previous to their depatture, frequent conferences with Count Co amrzst in His Majesty's presence. 'the late spirited conduct of Austrih, in not only not acknow ledging BONAPARTE as an Emperor, but in keep ing open the deliberations of the Diet of Ratisbon, is, probably, the result of these conferences. It is a result grateful to loyalty-and humanity, as its object is, in unison with Russia, to force Bo ts r•avx to explain the motives of his conduct in vioLting the independence of the German Empire, and thus add ing upon his own confession the murder of the Duke of ENCHIEN to thr calendar of his crimes.—At Vienna, the French' Minister is shunned by all the diplomatic agents, except those Lif Prussia and Spain,. and the Russian Ambassador has declined to re turn his repeated visits. Since the . departure of. Count Mutt:ore from Paris, the Russian Ministers at the several contim.ntal courts have been ordered to drop all intimacy and connection with the diplo matic agents of BONAPARTE, On the 9th instant, a Courier from Constantinople arrived at s ienna, with intvlligonce that, notwithstanding the repre sentations of General BRVNE, 6000 more troops had arrived from the Black Sea, and sailed for the Me diterranean.—The same couriers brought letters from Turkey, which state, that the numbers of Russian troops collected and encamped at Odossa and its environs, amount to 80,000 men, the greater part of them destined, as man as trans posts can be procured, for the Seven Island;, and the island of Sardinia, to watch the motions of France in the Mediterranean. We some time since stated errhisierl", that the Emperor of Rossi A had offered Louts XVIII. as King of France and Na. vane, an asylum in his Empire, worthy c.f the rank, virtues, and unmerited misfortunes of His Most Christian Majesty. If letters brought by the Hamburgh Mail of Saturday may be relied upon, this liberal hfftr has been accepted, and Lott' XVIII. has alleady left Warsaw ; a place that roust be odious to His Majesty, since the date of the in sulting proposal made by the King of PRUSSIA, on the part of the Corsican Adventurer and Usurper, BON SPACTE. Letters from Berlin, of the 17th, confidently assert, that the Russian Courier, who passed through that city upon the I Ith, carried to Paris the ultimatum of the RUSSIAN MONARCH, and that BONAPARTCS answer will decide, wh:ther or not Russia shall be involved in immediate hostility with France. An Official Declaration is shortly ex pelled to make its appearance, which will fully ex plain tie disposition of the Northern Courts with iesped to Louts XVIII. and BONA PAR ra.

I a a, The Grand Chancellor then called the Command ers, afterwards the Officers, and lastly the Le:;ion aries, who all came to the f iot of the throne, to re ceive the decoration from the hands of the Em peror. His Majesty particularly fixed his attention on those brave veterans whose glorious services were attested by their mutilations. He interrogated many of them relative to the places and a6tions in which they had received those noble wounds. This assemblage of the most distinguished Ci:i zer s of all classes anJ all ages presented a sp:.tiacle equally noble and afFetlivg. The soldier, the ge neial, the rntiff, the magistrate, the administrator, the man of letters, the celcarated artist, receiving each the rev ard of his talents and his labours, seem ed only to compose one family %%Lich pressed around the throne of a hero, to adorn, to support it. .A, lively and profound emotion was visible in every countenance; and this august and brilliant ceremony impressed the minds of all present with a reverence at once religious and martial. The . air was terminated by a Te De m, which, as well as the mass; was the comp Lion of Al. le Sueur, the Director of the Imperi. Chapel. At three o'clock his Imperial Maje,ty, under the diTharge of artillery, left the church with the same retinue, and in the same order, in which he had ar rivtd. The return of her Imperial Majesty, the Em press, was likewise in the Tune order which had been obst.ired in her way thither. Their Majesties, its all the places through which they passed, were saluted with the unanimous ac clamations of an immense concourse of speEtators. A discharge of :raillery announced the re-entrance tithe Emperor into the Palace of the Thuilleries. In the evening the Palace and Gat dens were illu minated, as were also the principal edifices of Path.
