He awaits quietly the issue of his appeal to the Tribunal of Cessation. lie has declined himself, and forbid his wife to petition the Emperor. The report, that the Tribunal of Ces saden has been ordered to make his sentence more severe, is absurd ; it is not in this Tribunal's power fin to do. If it finds any cause, it may order him lie be tried again, by the former criminal tribunal, bet k cannot augment his punishment. General Murat was present not only during the trial, but he was shut up with the Judges when they were debasing and considering what punishment they should intliet. All she precious furniture of the Royal Palaces at Turin, which has not yet been disposed of, is or dered for those Imperial Castles, the Emperor Ni'. poleon intends to visit or inhabit. Even those Who have purchased any of the furniture, pie tares, medals, due. formerly belonging to the • Ring of Sardinia, must restore it, on receiving the purchase-money. Besides the castle at Turin, three other palaces in Piedmont, and two in Savoy, are repairing, and fitted out by the order of Gene ral Menon, that they may be worthy to receive his Sovereign. The Coronation will not take place on the 14th of July. Some pretend that it is put ofi to the Empe ror's birth-day, in August ; others to the Republi can New Year's Day, the 221 next September. Twenty Communes near Lnneville have been laid waste by a terrible hail-storm. The damage is counted at upwards of six millions of livres. On the 14th inst. the diligence from Neyon to Compeignes took fire, and was consumed in 15 minutes. The passergers were unable to save even their baggage. One of the richest Parisian bankers, Tourton, a Particular friend of Moreau, who . interestedihirmeif in a most liberal manner, see justice done, and who left every day his card at the Temple for the imprisoned General, received suddenly or s from the Emperor to depart itarnelilely from Paris, and to reside until further orders at his estate Clos.‘ uu geot. Notwithstanding his representation, td- I t h;s business suffer from such an exile, I.:: was order ed to leave Paris in six hours : continuing, however, long rist his house to arrange his a ff airs, two genii d'ersived with a post-chaise and carried hint away, soma say far his country-seat, others pretend for the castle of Besancon ; velf4 is cer tain, his friends are still ignorant of the place where be has been carried to, or confined in. Georges has written a letter to the Emperor, ask ing to have ius sentence executed as soon as possible, and demanding to have the lives of his follow-suf ferers spared, taking upon himself ail their faults and transaetians. It is said, that the Emperor was not displeased with the firmness and frank ness expressed in this letter, and many there fore hope, that even his life will be spared, should be consent to sign his renunciation of his pretended oath of allegiance to Louis XVIII. his family, and Madame Moreau has caused a memorial to be printed and distributed every where, sheaving the in nocence of her husband. It was read with great avidity at Paris but 1„000 copies destined fur the Army of L• it were seized by the Police, and the bccAsellers hove sloes been prohibited to sell it• A palatal's of General Menou, as Governor General is liadtlteot. forbids, under pain of death, all rims Ikons baying, selling, or carrying any wigwams mum as pistols, daggers, stilettos, &c. lb loan Sesame Agresti, born at Naples, has IsaiM Mae, by the Emperor Napoleon, a French Clime.

Limn week, Kotzebue's Drama, called •' Lel Ilit eke ; The Siege of Neembregh," was represented with great applause at the Theatre, Port tit. Martin, it Paris. The pathetic scene, in which die children of dra Rama Catholics are saved from destrunion Isy the Hussite', had, particularly, the greatot ef- fra, sad few eyes were dry. Romans passes this summer at Jewe, in Esto nia. The Russian F.mperor, during his last jour ney to Revel, passed through this place, and ad mitted him to an audience, in which he wa. rc oved in a most gracious manner. It is said that the Russian Ministcr in England, Count Woreasol, has demanded to be recalled ; but that his Sovereign, in a very gracious letter. has naked him to prolong, under the present circuits. stances. his stay in. reat Britain. This .kmbass.s. doe, in consequence, will remain on his post at ham (or a year longer. He is regarded both in Russia and in England, as a very liberal and cr.- lightened sussonsa. (La Aracsste.) The Pope's Minister at Ea. Petersisurgh, Mon signor Arezzo, has been ordered to (04 that capital, and is espoiled at Paris. 'ill, 8111111511 IPICESS. ,ONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 7. 'We have received a letter from Hambtrgh, dated 2"th June, of which the following is an extrad : " Letters from Riga mention, as a fakl, that the Russian fleet at Revel has already sailed, and that it will Le joined by the fleet from Cron,t.idt ; they sa), fh.tt on Lc 'ld these fleets is a ritinueloas corps of Russian troops. whose fist destination is Ireland. Notwithstanding these warlike appearances, the cojnmon opinion is, that during the present year the peace of the continent will not be interrupted, be cause the Rti,:iian troops are only regarded as Eng- ish auxiliaries. " It is reported that the King of PRUSSI A has, by the demand of BON AP A nix, written a second letter to Louis XVIII. with propo.als to resign his cbims to the throne of France ; but that this unfortunate Prince has given no other answer than that he would send a copy, both of 1 lis PaI: , SIAM MA- JaSIV'S letter, and of that of Monsieur BONA PARTE, which accompanied it, to St. Petersburgh." That a Rus.ian army should be embarked for the purpose of being landed in Ireland, every one acquainted with the constitution of this country must t. rat as a groundless speculation. No Mi- nister would dare to land a Russian force in any part of the United Kingdom, w•ithnut the consent of Parliament previously obtained ; and it must, in deed, be an extreme case in which such consent would be applied for. To that part of our Cor respondent's letters we ale not inclined to pay any attention ; but we think the passage interesting in a general view, as shewing the public opinion and feeling in Ilussia. There are also many concurrent ciicnm7,tances which five it an importance that it would net otherwise possess. The refusal of the Era etnoa of Russ' A to acknowledge Bomar Aare' newly assumed rank and title; his spirited re rmastrance delivered to the Litt at Rad:bon, on the I7th last, against the violation of the Ger. man Empire, by the seizure if the Duke of Errantly at Ittenheim ; the departure of Ge neral lienouv rut t, the French Minister, from St. Peter:ourjh ; and the daily conferences between the Itessi AN i.lintsv ea in London, and our Seca t ef rAvz far 'foreign A;airs, constitute a mac: ac evidence, tending to prove a breach be tween France and Rit.sia, and a closer cannetlion between the latter power and England. Every cir cumstance that uanspires of the rtlations between the three na-..ians, :hews that. the Emperor Atex a SM» is as weil disposed towards us, as be is bowie to LUNA, A Nor is this a new feeling or new change of principle and condua. It bears date far back as the famous interview of Lord Wni isruaTH and Bon ay Alt I I:, and the disapprobation expressed by the Rossi AN XISTER at Paris, of Coni..n. pride and insolence. When then we find , mis trust, and coldness, uniformly r micrearing hei , k een two nations for a continued space of eighteen mot, ; and when we find the system fiu:n which they oit ginate,• every day mocc ap.,;.:-•tvated and ofielisive, we see no result in %hid, t;:ey can ei,d i.ty:ri hos tility. Some, indeed, do not scruple to .say that things are al: eadyartived at thisstates and that a treaty of alliance, if not already signed, between Great Britain and Russia, is in a very forward state, sti pulating for mutual co-operation and support against France. The Riga letters, to which our correspon dent at Hamburgh alludes, give much consistency to this report; and we have also to notice a report circulated yesterday with great confidence, stating that our Government has received authenti4. advices from Constantinople and the Black Sea, that Russia is preparing large armaments in the latter place. But in discussing this point, we need not look far ther than to ascertain the existence of the ra:ning of Russia. If such preparations are makiiig, it {id. lows of course that they must be destined against France. In this case money would Le want ing to pay our new auxiliary forces, and the rurnear which has prevailed fur some days past, that the Minister will require a large vote of credit, would star.' conirrncd. Indeed, an Even ing Paper of yesterday was so impressed with this idea, that it did not hesitate to publish the follc.W:.g ar:icle : " This day the f:!nwing Ikle , sage from Tiis alp_ ESTI: was deliterrd t.) the f irlise of Commons: lq;.

Ectivr, forme,l upon a general vi •w• of affair►. We s'.loela TA:her pre- Ante that such a Message was positively latended out that some unforeseen cause prevented it. It could not have been a hoax, for the paper was pUb ikhed before the House of Claim Oils s.tt ; nor is it likely that it could have been for stockjobbing purposes. We yesterday stated the capture of two French deserters by ate of our cruisers off Blulogne. A letter from our correspondent at Ramsgate adds the following particlars : 'Wednesday two French prisoners, or rather deserters, from the French army at Boulogne, were brought here, and taken to Lord Keith for examination; they were in their regimentals, blue with red facing. It appears that one of them is a serjeant of ar tillery, and deserted, he says, on account of hav ing had a dispute with the Captain ; the other is a drummer in the same corps, who, having stabbed his comrade, was obl:ged to make off: they therefore planned together, seized a small boat at night, came off to one of our gun-brigs, two or three leagues from the shore, were taken on board, and brought to the flag ship in the Downs. These men report that the French army, within a distrift of 1:2 milt.. round Boulogne, consists of one hundred thousand men, and the number of bo..ts there, ready for sea, is es timated at about 1300 ; but acknowledge that they are not yet prepared to come over. Both these de serters have offered to enlist into our Artillery Corps ; but it does not appear that their proposal has been yet accepted, as they have been sent on board the flag ship again. 44 If Any credit may be given to what these men as serf, it would seem by the following circumstance that the French army does not appear to be quite satisfied with Bonaparte's assuming the Imperial dignity : Notice being sent to the army at Bou logne of the day Bonaparte was to be proclaimed Emperor, on that day the General commanding there bad an Imperial Crown affixed on his tent, where it remained all days but at night it was torn off and trampled under foot by the soldiers. An other circumstance they assert, which is very proba ble, viz. that very often, when the wind sets in shore, the boats in Boulogne harbour are much dama ged from their being so numerous and close together; the rolling of the sea dashes them one against the other, so that they are obliged to be con stantly replaced, which causes much diusatistaaion." We have this day resumed our extra is from the Foreign Papers received by the Hamburgh Mails which arrived yesterday. The following account of the Political State of the German Empire, from a Private Letter, dated Vienna, June 20th, is interest ing :---" Though we desire to continue in peace, we are prepared for war ; our Imperial treasury is better supplied, than in 1792 ; our regiments are more than complete, our military arsenals over stored, and,within twenty months, six hundred pieces of artillery of different calibres have been cast merely for encampments, not to speak of those of a calibre for sieges and ramparts of fortresses. According to the official list delivered to our military chan cellery the Ist inst. our army of the line, includ ing troops of all kinds, amounted then to 360,500 men, and 9464; men supernumerary in the different re , cruiting depots. Our militia is as well disciplined as our troops of the line, amounting to 96,444 men. All our troops are regularly paid ; but such is the prudence and economy of our Em Pea °a, and his respeaable brother tie Arch-Duke Ca rt LES, that the Im perial Caine de Reserce contains no less than one hundred millions of florins, in ready money. With such means, and such resources, very few provoca tions, indeed, will be sufficient to induce our Sove reign to revenge the insults offered to his rant, and to his house, as well as to the Empire of which he is the Chief." A list of all the Pensions, upon the Irish Esta blishment above 1001. is inserted in our last pap. A letter from an officer on board the Boulogne squadron. states, that in consequence of several of the enemy's vessels being out at some distance from the land on Monday night, with intent to pass to the Southward along shore, the whole of the boats belonging to our squadron were manned and armed, but afte: being nut all night, and several times close unrl_.: the s:hue, they returned without falling in w.th the enemy. The East Indiamen are detained at Portsmouth by some trifling repairs. It is supposed, should the wind continue :air, they will sail this day. Paper of yesterday states the receipt of accounts ;rom Ireland, of a very serious affray, originating in a religious difference, havin4 lately taken place at Belturbet, in the county of Cavan, between some Volunteers of that place, and a party of Militia.— The combntaats were armed on both sides, and many were ''' ; ' ately wounded with the bayonet, of whom seve:-I are stated to have since died of their wounds.
