We are now at war with England, which, al though no; formally declared, may be considered as inevitable, if one may judge from the hostile mea sures of the English in the Atlantic and Mediterra nean Seas, where Nelson lately captured some of our transports with troops on board, destined for Mahon. Our provision of wheat is very trifling, and the prices continue to advance; and, from the untavour ahlc report of the ha. vest in Spain, Allele i; no pro baf)ility of their red:a:lion. In short, we only want ed war to consummate uur misery —and, if it con tinue long, God only knows what will toccome of us. PARIS, DEC. 20. The Festival given by the city of Paris to Their Imperial Majesties on Sunday last, was the worthy complet' of all the fetes that have taken place in consequence of the Coronation. When their Imperial Majesties had arrived at the Hotel de Ville, and were seated on the Throne, And the Princes and Dignitaries, habitet: in the grand costume of ceremony, had taken their stations on the steps of the Throne, the Marshal Governor, having received the orders of the Emperor, the Counsellor of State, and PrefeA of the Department of the Seine, addressed Their Majesties in a long speech, expressive of the ardent wishes of the city of Paris for the prosperity of Their Imperial Majes ties, and their successors. The discourse was fol- lowed by reiterated applauses from the whole as sembly ; and the Emperor, in a' voice which appeared charged by emotion and sensibility, but in a paternal tone, and with the most touching expression, returned a short answer, of which the f plowing is the purport : Gentlenem of the MOSIICipAI Noev, I haw come among rti to give to my good city of Paris the as.maiire of my speci.,: protection ; un all occasions at will be a duty and a pleasure to me, to rot particular rnds of my benevolence toward. it. for I wi.h that vett should know, that in the beat of battles, and in the greatest dangers upon the seas, and to the midst of &saris, 1 have ever held in •iew the opiat .11 of this great capital of Europe ; next, however, to the sairagc of posterity, is All powerful on nay heart. The Emperor his written to the Arc' bishops and Bishops of France, the following letter: Providence has bestowed cob m• new s•rength to sup port the weight of the Crown it has p.1,.1 on my lit the statist - action at people have il on the oe•asien at my consecration and coronation, which !Mord •T • ok place with all the pomp and solemnity that corild be al.: mew,• settee of our %lost Holy Father the Pope, the visa, o the Universal Church; the aectainations which ace-. t.vanterl me during arid Oct tho august ceremony, have peas trate my heart with a protuticul sentiment which will never be effaced. To obtain from the Supreme Being, who $3 visibly pruteas the Empire, that he may attach to the SACRA nation, which I have just receive% all the grace witch oily confidence in rib divine endue.. t :rites me to Lope ;that tie may grant me pouderice, the fio.t irtie• of sovereigns; and that he may maintain my people in peace and tranquillity, which will ever be the dearest object cf my care, and winch I .ball always s ennvider a. the watt solid glory of toy reign; I desire that public prayers may be offaed up in all the churches if the e.npite; I there( oe address to you thy letter to direct you to cause it DCVO to he sung in those of your diocese, and to invite to the prayers which shall he put in your Church, the Authorities arc:monied to attend at such kind of C'.sernonies. pray OM to hare you in his holy keeping. Some of the German Papers have spoken of the appointment of a Prince of the House of Nassau Orange to the post of President of the Ilatavian Republic. One of thenimakes some reiledions open the subjefl, and adds, that the nomination would be produßive of great advantages to the Dutch nation. It would tend to approximate the Government to the form under which Holland flourished for two cenruriis, and to re-establish the relations and habits which have contributed to bar prosperity. The dignity of the President of the Batavia.n Republic would have the advantage over the ancient Stadtholdership of being uniform for all parts of the state, and of ensuring to the person who shonld be invested with it, the same rights and the same pre rogatives in each portion of the whole nation ; whereas formerly the Stadtholder, being named for each Province and by each Prov:nac, did not exercise an equal power any where ; he received his dignity from each with such limits or extensions as each thought proper. Hence arose the ditriculty of preventing, on one side, the too great increase of the Stadtholder's power when it caused any um brage, or of augmenting it when the interest of the country required. Thus in 177 t ,, a powerful party being formed against the Stadtholder, William the firth, who has now retired to his German pos- setsions, the Province of Holland deprived him pro• visionally of the title of Captain General over that part of the Republic. The different prerogatives which distinguished the Dutch Provinces having disappeared, it would be easy at present to give them a common Chief ; or rather, it would he very difficult, if once a Chiel were established in the Republic, that he should not be recognised by the whole Republic. The choice might fall so much the more easily upon the Prince of Nassau, as it could not be considered as an effect of force employed to re-establish the House of Orange in the rights which the Dutch have never viewed as tho,e of a Sovereign. Besides, such a choice would have the advantage of recalling to the Dutch nation brilliant recollations and exploits, of which it may boast, even though two centuries are elapsed, as well as the illustrious I louse which has had so great a share in them. THE BRITISH PIIII43SS. LON DO MONDAY, DECESIBLK 31. Relying too much upon the audit:airy of a Con. temporary Print, we stated on Saturd.iy, that a final arrangement had been agreed upon for the establish ment and education of lien Royal Highness the Princess of WALM That ineatire, we understand, has not yet been decided, but, we do believe, that the generosity and delicacy of the two Illustrious Personages immediately concerned in settling this important business, have surmounted any difficulties Arising from their respeaive claims, and that any difference of opinion that may have subsisted, has bees done away. No account of Mr. nage was receive,' at a late hour last night ; but Government arc is hourly et peaation of his arrival. It is now certain that the SPANISH A kiIIASS• DOR only awaits that event as the signal for departure, as he is prepare.i to set out at a moment's notice. We have rewired French Papers to the 21st, and a Dutch Paper, The Mercar p i of the 22d. Tl.e former contains the speech of BONA/A ars to the people of his " good say of Paris," in answer ro the Address delivered to him upon the occasion of the grand festival given by that city in completion of the fetes h honour of the Coronation. In this speech, his usual prudence appears to have forsaken him. In boasting of the dangers of the sea which he has braved, it is not yes y wise thus to remind his " good city of Pari s ;' of his disgraceful flight from Egypt, and his landing at Frejus, after a narrow escape from Lord NELSON'S cruisers. On Saturday the hwt D ISM Am sc •DOR traellaa ed business At Lori HA lIROIVIIT'S office from two till three o'clock.

The Marquis of WELLISLIT is expened to re turn about March from Bengal. Mr. BA aLow, Ac cording to report, is to be his sliccessnr. It is said that the attention of Government has been dire&ed to the securing a great addition of disposable force to the army ; and that the principal rnea.nre which will be presented fur the approbation of Parliament in the approaching Session, is a Bill Err aisimeilativ the engagement and service of the Militia to the Regulars. Whether this very desirable °Ned it to be accomplished by permitting the pri vates of the Militia to volunteer into Regiments of the Line—or it be intended to beseffe&ed by offer ing encouragement to officers who shall be able to volunteer fur general service with a certain quota of their men—or whether those tegiments which have more than one battalion will have any option submitted to them, we are as yet uninformed. Several letters ware received on Saturday from Malaga, Cadiz, and other parts of Spain, by way of Holland, some of which are dated as Lae as the '27th ult. One of the '2lth, from the first mentioned port, states that three British ships are embargoed there. and that the houses ot the Consul and all the English merchant. are guarded by the Spanish soldiery. Letters from Madrid, however, as km as the 3d inst. make no mentioo of the declaration of war said to have been issued on the 27th ult. and it was generally s u pp ose d that the Spanish Minister at the Court of London had not been o.fi:ially recalled. A private letter of the from the Hague, states, 4 , that so very completely is the commerce of Holland now fettered by the tyranny of France, that no vessels are suffered to enter the Dutch ports but those, the masers of which, as well as the crews in divitlually, are ready to make oath that their car goes were taken in at a neutral harbour, and that they arrived due:lly from that place. The di. content produced by this and other previous nsea titres of extreme oppreition, had risen to so great a pitch, th..t it WAS apprehended an insurretlion, not only among the inhabitants in general, but among the Batasi in troops, would to place. The latter are solicitor in number to ilk french, but these have possesssop of all the strong fortresses and mili tary depots.
