I It 5 II ' I brandished their arms, and waved their colours, by way of expressing their joy. The great officers, the commandants, the oki.:ers, and tae legionaries, then approached the throne, nne.re, being presented by the Minister at War, they individually received ham his Nl.ijesty's hands the decoration of the Eagle. " It was delightful t s behold the Marshals of the Empire, the Generals, the Counsellors of State, the Prelens, Bishops, Officers, soldiers, and sailors, receiving each in their turn the reward of honour, from the hands of Bonaparte, who, recognising all of them, received them as the companions of his toils and his glory. The decorations were held up by several Officers, in the helmets .n.. 1 bucklers of the armour of Durtiesclin and BA! •rd. " The sight of this splendid and brave army, of those fields, of those ports, the work of their hands, of those piers and light houses, resounding with the noise of the waves and cannon ; the view of the chalky coasts of England ; those rays of the sun darting through the clouds to illuminate this au gust scene : those hostile vessels, tossed by the tempest, and disappearing in the haze of the hori zon ; all these ohjefts combinzd gave to the senti ments and thoughts excited by the presence of the Emperor, on the soil once trod by Cour, a gran deur, an indefinite charm, incapable of being ex pressed. " There was one trait wanting to complete this magnificent pitture. The flotilla could not go out ; but the stars of the Emperor condueled one, as if for the express purpose, from Havre. All eyes were turned towards the sea, and the must lively joy was manifested, in h^holding the ocean pay its tri bute to the entertainment of the Emperor ; and that convoy, which had been expelled for six days, ar rived at the m snient of the solemnity. " It was now tour o'clock ; the wind freshened, and the billows rose. After the flotilla entered, four boats and five pinnaces, which had cleared the Channel, grounded on the sand-bank under the wooden fort; they have, however, received no damage, and next tide they will be floated off and brought into harbour. 44 The Emperor passed the evening in his but ; and all the legionaries were entertained at the tables of Prince Joseph, the Minister at War, the Minister of the Marine. Marshal Soult, and Admiral Bruit. in tents decorated in a military stile. and the health of the Emperor was drank with enthusiasm, amidst the report of all the artillery of the batteries on the coast." Two English prizes, made by the Prosperous pri vateer of Boulogne, have been carried into Dunkirk. The one is the brig the eloodoile Julie, of 116 tons send six men, from Sunderland to Newhaven, laden with coals. The other is the brig the Friends. of IS:, eons, and seven men, bound from Dartmouth to Sunderland. MINISTRY OF MARINE.

" My Lord-1n my dispatch of the 14th 1 had the honour to inform you that thesquelron of observation had sailedl I annsunced to you that we had discovered in the Yrisise only two frigates, which retired before our,, but I supposed the enemy's fleet to be at no E .,-at distance from the Island of ant, and that in all probabi'itv the fog which then prevailed had prevented the watch-posts from discovering them, sae in *wining us by 11110/1. My opinion in this respect was the better founded, a, in the evening of the 14th, having premed ed towaid.

" During the night of the fourteenth we kept a gond look out, and were always prepared either to take /imitation in the pa.., or to retort, to Brest " On the morning of the ISth we discovered at interval. through the lilac dye sail, which we Judged to be two of the line, one frigate, arid two smaller vessels.

The frigates bad code •to fol low the enemy's division, and to endeavour before night to re sonating as far out to sea as possible. All the .hips were en. tinny ready to return to the pee, when the headmost triple made a signal of seeing the enemy's fleet, to the cumber of fifteen sail, crowding all sad towards us. I expected it would be sufficiendy dark to prevent our preparations for sailing from being seen. Alt the vessels were under sail the moment my order was issued, and they manniivreil in conceit with the greatest precision The wind faint, and the night very dark ; thick banks of fog often convened from' us the coast, and yet there was not the smallest confusion in the witiadmn, and at ten at night we were se anchored in the ri ad of Brest without the lean accident. " In the night the enemy merle various signals by the firing of cannon in the road whit h we had panted, and at day-light two frigates, w.th their cutters, were still in that spot, with a view, ne doubt, to examine whether we had left there our anchors, and to take up the buoys. The enemy's fleet was seen at the same time, to the number of nineteen vessels, sc. vent frigates and sloops.

As soon as he arrived at Etaples, he went on board the flotilla in that har bour, and visited it in detail. At twelve o'clock he caused the troops, under the command of General Leison, to manreuvre ; he expressed himself highly satisfied with them. It is supposed that Bonaparte will remain several days inspeding the camps on this coast. GENOA, AUGUST 9. The twn English frigates that have cruised so long off our ports, have at length disappeared. ItR•NKTORT, *La. 14. It is reported that Russia and England propcSsed about two months since to the Court of Vienna, to place an Austrian Prince at the head of the Order of Malta, and to establish on that Island an Austrian garrison, with troops of the Order, raised in all the remaining Commander:es. We are assured teat the Senate of the Imperial city of Bremen has at length consented to ad►ance to the provincial states of Hanover, a sum of 'nolx)0 rix doll irs (209,000 livres Tournois) upon the special mortgage of several rich domains of that country. STIAG•RD, AUG. 11. A message concerning the reproaches which have been addressed to the States from his Highness the reigning Elector, on account of the sum which these States have ranted to the Electoral Prince, has lately arrived from Paris. It has ►een sent, at the same time, to the ministry, to the regency, and the chamber of finance. Nothing as yet has trans— pired upon the subject. R•TIlI011, ♦UGVST S. The Court of Vienna has evidently .hewed its intent to execute the principle of territorial seignories upon the ecclesiastical properties included in Suabia. It has published a declaration, according to which it takes possession of all the estates, in comes, rights, and capitals, existing both in the ter ritories of I leiligkreurthel and in Austria, in Sua bia, and in the other hereditary countries of His Im perial Majesty, which formerly belonged to the chapters of the Empire, Eilwangen Zwiefallen, and Rothen-Munster ; and to the convents of Margaret hausen, and the Dominicans at Bothwell. If all the other states of the empire, which received in. demnities in Suabia, are to submit to the same law, the Court of Vienna will find that it has received more than was given it. This is a true return to the past.—(Monstcur.) Notwithstanding the interruption of the sittings of tit- Diet, for an undetermined period, the com munication of memorials, and other interesting ar ticles, continues without ceasing. 'rise Ministers, in quitting this place for the summer, have left their Secretaries of Legation behind them. 1 ILIEST E. JULY 21. Three English Spies ha% been arrested here, who were labouring on account of England, and had al. ready seduced SOO Austrian soldiers. A corvette hats also been stopped, which had on board 30 sol diers, seduced away by the same Agents. Mr. Gardner direas this system of sedu. n ; y have Agents at Padua and Venice. It is thus that the English fulfil the duties of hospitality, iu the friendly ports where they are admitted. MADRID, JeLY 18. The Court arrived here from Aranguez on the 30th of last month. After a stay of four or five weeks in this capitAl, they will proceed to St. Ilde phonso. IthILIN, JULY 30. The reign of the Deys in Belgrade is over; on the 28th of July, lieekir Pacha sent a Firman to the Pacha of Belgrade, and to the Chiefs of the Kerdsch.'.•_. the sabstance of which was, that the D.. s,r 611. i in three hours quit Belgrade, and that the upper and lower fortresses should be occupied by the Kerdschalies ; and that, in case of disobedi. ence, the heads of the Deys shoull be cut of, sad sent to the Pacha of Bosnia. This menace had the desired e!•ed, and at nine o'clock the Deys and their suite quitted Belgrade. ALGIERS, JULY 10. An English fr igate has anchored in this poet : the usual salu:e was not given. She brings an Agent from Admiral Nelson. This is the thi:..l humiliating embassy from the English to 0 :e Dep. In the first, Nelson anchored before rstgiers with thirreen ships of the hue, and a proportionate num ber of frigates ; he made great menaces to obtain the re-instatement of the 7nglish Agent, sent from thence some months before ; the restitution of five vessels confiscated ; the liberty of their crews, of the English, Maltese, and Neopolitan slaves ; an in de•.nnity for the losses sustained by the English from clic Algerine Marine ; and lastly, an excuse on the part of the I)ey for the treatment which the kents and subjects had experienced. The Ley refused all, and only answered with lighted matches. A munth afterwards, a negociation took place. The English consented that their agent should not return to Algiers, and demanded the liberty of the English, Maltese, and Neapolitan slaves. They •btained nothing but a refusal. The frigate, which has now anchored, has again mad^ these demands, and moreover solicited provi sions, and the liberty of the English sl ores. They have been again refused. The Dey exaas 180,000 piastres as a compensa tion for a cargo taken five years ago ; he will not re ceive the former English agent, and demands ano ther. Thus the English exaa vainly, excuses, com pensations, liberty of slaves, &c. and it is the Dey who gives law. Since Algiers existed, none even of the smallest powers of Europe have submitted to such degrada tion. coattr, JULY 9. The Greeks of Parasehnitia aid of Margariti, are fighting against the troops of Ali Pacha. 'I he first rece ye their ammunition and provision from he Russians at C.rfou. The Sullcotes, who had taken refuge at Corfou. have been armed, and sent to terra firma, to join the insurgents. Captain Rey sees every thing, knows every thing ; but what can he do ? The loi-elssant republic of the Seven Islands is crowded with troops, and become the point of succours in a war, but finds itself in desolation. At the news of the departure from St. Petcrsbutgh of General Hedouville, the Senate assembled with intent to deliberate upon a demand of neutrality in caw of a war between Russia and France. But ever ..iv knows that President Mocenigo will not coustut to it.—(La Clef das Cabinet.) JULt 13. The Pacha of Janina com,)lains that the Sulliotes, who take refuge at Corfu, and are proteaed Sy the Russians, unite themselves with the insurgents of Paramitia and M.irgariti. The Bey, who resides at Previza, has also complained to the Russian Consul-General; but has not received a satisfattory answer. The Pacha and the Bey know very well, that they have seat from hence ammunition and corn to the insurgents. Major Christaki is gone to Lestrino, at the southern extremity of the Isle, where the Sulliotes are stationed. It is said, that he will set out to-morrow for Parga, with a part of the Albanese enrolled by Be♦aki. The Pacha 1...- ....M. 7.• affettls great security, and pretends that he is ready to receive the Russians, whenever they ciiuse to come to him. He thinks that they will make war of religion, in arming the Greeks against the Turks. Two l'inkish frigates departed this morning fur the Levant. It is thought that they will cruise for the put pose of observing all that passes on the coasts of Parga, Preveza, &c. The Capitan Hey expea; a 74-gun ship and a frigate. His squadron will composed of seven sail. It is probable that he will not delay to meet the Capitan Paella, who waits Er him in the Morea. where he will visit all the ports. FROM THE DUTCH PAPERS.

The Official Garette of Berlin, of the 18th inst. announces the resignation of Count Haugwitz, and the appointment of Baron Hardenberg, as a Minis ter of the Foreign Department. HAGUE, AUGUST 26. We received, yesterday morning, a letter folin Aix-la-Chapelle, mentioning that the Empress Jo sephine had ordered every preparation to be made for her departure, through Brussels to Paris. As hour before she intended to set out, she obtained letter from the Emperor, that he would arrive at Aix-la•Chapelle, and pass some days there to be informed of the situation of the frontier depait• ments, Scc. The Empress will, however, soon returi to Paris, but it is believed, that the Emperor will remain behind for some time. It is even rumoured that camps are to be formed on this part of the from tiers of the French empire. This directory have for these some days past held several long deliberations, and several c• criers have arrived here. Count Lohndo-f, the Prussian Secretary of Legation, set out fur Aix-la-Chapelle yesterday. Vice Admiral Verheul, the Commander iu the Texel, Admiral Kickert, and the Secretary of the Batavian Flotilla. have been here far some cla! , past.
