Each Theatre, not only in the capital, but all over France, has some new piece relative to the memorable event of the Emperor's Coronation, which will be presented g. ortit, every day, for a fort eight, from the 2d of next December. NOTRE DAME. The preparations at Notre-Dame are pushed for ward wit'l &eat aiivity . .The timber-work and joiners'-work are , ntirely completed, and you may form at present an idea of the whole plan. Each of the four which form the lower sides of the ground flocr of the body of the church, is nc • (spiel by two nersof ben. hes, which form between each entre colonnade of the body of the church, an amphitheatre of four stages. Each stage consists ef tour rows of benches, and a void spare, nearly equal to that occupied by thp benches. The galle ries above are entirely occtipiesi by two stages of seats, forming an amphitheatre like that below. Large ventilators, in every part of this vast struc ture, will facilitate the circulation of the air, and afford the means of preserving order at this august ceremony. - • - - - In the body of the Church, at a short distance from the door, is raised upon a pedestal of several A Triumphal Arch, which rm. erns:, with the assieance of a railing at each side. It is there the Imperial throne will - be placed, opposite to the Altar. Upon each of the side, .t shit Triumphal Arch, which is already finished, we read there words, Nefrolester, Eerveremr, flannel'', et Peer,. Above are placed the Arms of the Emperor, such as they avear upon the seal of state, a golden eagle, u7on a field of astir, surrounded with a chain, to hich is att. , -ised the grand star of the Legion of Honour. Behind the shield, and upon the ermine mantle which forms its ground s are pl tired cross -5.." s. the hand of J nstice, and the sceptre, the ex ern:ty of whi c h h: ornamented with a fi gure on int of the Emperor Charlemagne. At the trip of tie shield, a helmet of open gold, and aboie that tie Imperial Crown, enc l ose d b y severa l b ranches, "high meet, and form a sort of tiara, terminated I f a cross. This Triumphal Arch is farther °rms. aen . !ed with a great num b er o f trop hi es , figures of mt. and victories. From the dispositions already tale, it is obvious that the walls of the choir, and f the nave, will be covered with draperies. Fi ures of gilt angels are also preparing for the pur ose of carrying wax tapers, to be placed at a great eight between the pillars. Stars, golden bees. ad the letters N. and J. surmonote d with a Crown. Atch are the ornaments most generally used in the nieces that are to cover the timbe r-work. Nume otis Pickets of watei men and vetemans are charged ath the superintendance in the interior of the hurth. The timher-woric in the form of a rotunda, raised t the cloister, is intended to recei Iv a tent. It is of more than 20 years, since such works requited to labour of several years, aad enormous expeaccs or rather when it would have been impossible to ex ecute them I Thanks to the astonishing perfeetion to . which the art of solid and ornamental carpenters' work has been carried in our time ; a few months will have proved sufficient to produce these WWI.. tiers, with less expence than could possibly be con ceived, from a comparison of the present, with former efforts at all like the pre sent . This monu ment of French industry and taste will not be the least astonishing speCtacle which this grand solem nity will present to the eyes of Europe. The scaffoldings erred in the church of Notre Dame will contain from '44 to 30,000 persons. The place of the deputations of the departments, and the military corps, is fixed in such a manner, that they can all see the Emperor. TilE IMPERIAL MANTLES. Persons who have seen the Imperial Mantle of h's give the following description of it. This Mantle si the sliest velvet, of amarantlitas colour, four ells (six yards English) long (torn the extremity of the train to the top of the eiilar, and nearly eight wide. The ground is peruser, with golden bees ; embroidered in boss. It Is edged with a golden border a!sii in gold, the richness of which is only equall..d by the work.non. ship. At equal intervals, in the midst of branches of laurel, 'in full bloom, and earn of cur pleasingly intermixed is a niter sun, surmounted by an oak and an olivei and within the sun, the btt.:r \. in raiskgold. This Mantle o entirely lined with ermine ; ui !fur emends nearly inches in breadtll, beyond the border in gild. It haa also a broad cellar, in the slcipe of a tippet, all id ermine. There i.. only one open slew:, like that of a Turkish dress; and' upon the other aide, an opening, which is to he closed with a ctasp of diamonds. The Mantle of the Entmess, winch is .not yet finished, will be in every re ; 5..e.1 like Stint of tier august Consort, with this exception, that the .uns in the border are of I, Ad, and the letter N of silver. THE EMPRESS'S CORONATION cisnin. The 17 , ,t1i 1111101 her Majesty will wear upon the day of her conanatio:i, will be the most splendid article of tile kind ever sJeli. It is entirely composed of diamond; in roses, mounted upon a tissue of gold The diamond of her Majesty th! Em press will not be less magnificent. REHEARSAL OF THE. CAVALCADE. A ling string of carriages of the Emperor's household, on the morning of the 18th, crossed the street of Notre Dame, turned to the left of the street, towards the Administration of the Civil Hos pital, entered the cloister, which is considerably en larged by the demolitions, then made a tour of the ro..unda lately built ar tberere of Notre Dame, and drew up, part upon toe bridge De la Cite, and part in various places adjoining the Isle of St. Louis. Them carriages were, in number, about 40, each drawn by six horses. Two of the carriages repre sented those of the Emperor and Empress. One of them was drawn by eight cream-coloured horses, of the greatest beauty ; the other, by eight superb horses of dappled grey. The carriage of the Em peror, after having made a tour of the rotunda, en tered into the court-yard of the Archbishop's Palace. —This proceeding was a k;nd of rehearsal, to en ablu the coachmen, and other conduCtors of the procession, to ascertain the means of accommoda tion which the place afforded, and to make the ne cessary dispositions without trouble or confusion, upon the day of the coronation. 'Fne windows which look into the street of Saint Honore, lett forifrom 3 to 4 louis each for the day of the coronation The sum of SOO francs has been offered I a. a 'ialcony in the same sheet, and refused.

" The French have demanded from Lubeck, a loan of 204,00 biz doilars; but as it appears, from the liberation of Sir Geonox Rust aos.n, that the King of MIA will exert his influence in fa vour of the Circle of Liver Saxony, the city has been emboldened to refuse it.

KOY. 20. The diy before yesterday the French Envoy here received a Courier from Paris. He immediately repaired to the State and Cabinet Minister, Baron Hardenberg, and delivered to him a letter from his kmperor to His Prussian Majesty. We have since learned that the Chevali, kurnbold has been set at liberty in conseq.leGcQ ut the protection of our So ; as IS .11,0 mentioned in our journals from the 11,•uteur. ♦IENNA, NOV. 14. In the course of the last two months, the State paper here has gradually fallen very considerable: in order to raise it again, the Court, within the last week, has begun to buy it up; in consequence of which, it has again risen two per ce.d. Nov. 16. According to accounts from Naples, the king of the two Sicilies has orde•ed a strict recruiting, by which every 30th man, of those able to bear arms, must enter into military service. In consequence of the distemper at Leghorn, orders have been sent to 'iciest, Venice, and other places on the Adriatic, to take measures tf the sit idlest precautions. LEOHOFtN, NOV. r. In consequence of the rainy and windy weather, which now prevails, it is hoped the distemper here will soon abate : only one of the physicians has hi therto died of it ; and other physicians have been sent from Genoa and Lucca, to examine into the nature 4 the disorder. Nane of the people in the hospitals, who take care of the sick, have yet died. The cordon may be passed through with a certificate of health. The sickness principally prevails in three streets. Since it began, 3)7 persons have died ; but of these 101 died of the small-post, or other disor ders. Many of the inhabitants have lest this city, and none into the country. The bodies of those who now die are burned in lime. 71.01tENCt, Nov. 3. Our Gasette of this day, contains the following notice : " Cerullo advice has been rec.ivecl, that in conse- LONDON, SATURDAY, Deena Mt 1. We received List night Paris Papers to the 29d ult. The fruitful brain of BON AAAAA I, to pal liate his crimes and offences against the lows of na tions, has invented a new plot against his sacrsd person. We have copied the whole account of it, as detailed in the Aletsticesr. It may, serve to enter tain our readers, although inferior to many pieces of the same author. Two brothers, of the name of naps, are tie principal performers ; and as an English char.uler is considered essential in all this class of French pieces, an important part is assigned to Mr. TAYLOR, our Minister to the Eleaur of Iltssx. The arrest and release of Sir Groaos Runes:KO are now fully explained. The Corsican hoped to find something in the papers of the Baronet which might give a colour to this fa brication ; but, disappointed in that hop?, he makes a merit of releasing him in compliment to the King of PRUSSIA. We might appeal to the absurdity of the pieces in the Monitrur, as evidence of their false hood ; but we have still stronger proof. Can any man suppose Mr. TAYLOR could be weak enough to engage in such a plot, so recently after the busi ness of MERLE DE LA Toucan Mr. TAYLOR could not forget that the advanced• post of the French banditti were at Munster, in Hanover, only five German miles from Cassel, the capital of the Ele&orof Hans; and, as it were, within the grasp of the Tyrant who had recently driven Mr. DRAKE from Munich, and Mr. Sreocea Sutra tiorn Stut gllT d. We know, besides, from our private correspond ence, that this pretended plot is looked upon as a state trick even in Paris. The crafty Ta Ly e ario hinted, in a late diplomatic circle, that the EMPEROR of the FRENCH would be gratified by a congratulatory address from the diplomatic corps, which last March set an example of meanness even to French slaves and sycophants ; but, a majority of the Foreign Ministers declined that honour, until they should have received instruaions from their Courts. It was, however, expetled, that all the Military and Civil Authorities at Paris would come forward handsomely upon the occasion. The plot ting manufaaory. and the system of violence against the Laws of Nations, du not appear to be confined to the eastern hemisphere; the Marauders of Bo- NA PARTE cover the whole globe. The Moniieut states, that the French have seized some evil dis posed persons in the Danish Island of St, Thomas's, and carried them to Guadaloupe, there to be disposed of according to law. This extraordi nary aggression is not accompanied by a single coin/molt in the official paper. Some Lrei •lingered Jani in the West Indies was no doubt leagued with the 'hums in Europe, against the life of Bu NA PA II Ir, over whom the Aenr/ of justice has been so long suspended. Another farce of a much more entertaining kind, the Coronation, has been put in rehearsal, and will be performed on Cie '2d inst. Upon the 18th last, forty state coaches went in procession to the Church of Notre Dime in the same order as will be observed upon the day of the stew. We hive given an ac count of this cavalcade ; of the dresses of the En:- prior and Empress; of the ornaments of the Chinch of Notre Dame, in which the ceremony will be per formed ; and of the various other preparations in Paris for this grand spectacle. These details in a great measure anticipate the report of the ceremony. which will probably fill the pages of the next set of Paris Papers. C A,lnels R•uvmisg.

' quence of the most careful enquiries into the nature of the malignant fever, prevailing :.t Legl , rn, it appears that it has not spread into the vanitry, and is not of a kind to be communicated without a con stant and near intercourse ; at the Same time, in consequence of the general alarm, and to prevent as much as possible its further progress, the g -.vernment have taken such measures as appeared necessary ; and among others, that of drawing a cordon, try which the territories of Leghorn and Pisa are entirely separated from the rest of the kingdom; from Pisa, howe►er, this con.olitary intelligence has been re ceived, that notwithlandint! many families are there, who removed from Leghorn inconsequence of alarm, not a single person has been attacked by the distemp er. In Leghorn itself, the disorder is confined to one of the most popul,:os-quArters of the town, and the number of those who have died, even in the days of the greatest mortality, has not exceeded 27 each day, and during the last three days not more than I I each day. There i,, therefore, reason to hope that the disorder will soon abate ; especially as the Government has taken every measure of precaution, and established an hospital in a retired place, in the SAM! manner as in the year 1767, when the most salutary consequences were the result."
