FOREIGN INTELLIGL?f CF. FROM TIIE FRENCH PAPERS PARIS, )CT. 20. It is not yet known what kind of crown will be adopted by the Emperor Napoleon I. Some persons ns , ort it will be dial of tl.e Lesars, that is to say, a clown of unmixed laurel, it. fruit ; others say, that oak will be interminglAl with the laurel. The repot that M. De Champagny had passed through Nancy. inserted in the . 7mtrnal de lo Mess, !he, is unfounded. That Ambassador was still at Vienna on the R!. of this month, an I %% ill not return to Paris till the 4th or sth of November. .)CT. An immense edifice is construftirg ir. • r•lt, anti along the whole length of the military s•-. 1001, on which the Emperor will sit in view of the people and the military, who have arrived from the different parts of the F.mpire, to he p-cant at his coronation. The Imperial estrade 'xilt he raised in the centre of the chateau, on four columns, surmountedlby an arch, in form of a dome, having above it that of the mili tary school. On each side extends a gallery, sup ported by 14 colitmr.s, and terminated by a p.ivilion. This gallery, on a level with the Imperial estratle, ap pears intended to he occupied by the Court, and the first Dignitaries of the Empire. Other estrades, and inferior raised seats, arc res.Tved for the Nlembers of the different Or3ers of the Stare, according to • the rank they hold in the public ceremonies. A vast staircase of wood, consisting of three stories, leads so the galleries and other places. This edifice at present appears only like a scaffoldage ; bat as soon es the carpenters and joiners shall have finished their labours, it will be adorned by the painters and other artists, with drapery and tapestry. Labour ers are now levelling the hillocks raised in 170, which extended to wards the Military School. This levelling will enlarge the way by which the proces sion is to pus on the 4th of Prianaire. No horses or eaeriages are permitted to enter the Champ de Mars. The curious, who arrive in great numbers, are obliged to alight fans their carriages, to apuroach the hicioenre in which are the workmen. The deputation of the V-ttional Guards of La Vendee, organised by Napoleon (eigiecese la Roche ear Toone), who are to be present at the coronation of the Emperor, set out for Paris on the 15th of ORober.

Next week the camp near Ziest will break up, and the troops march for their winter cantonments. After the grand manoeuvres in the camp of Ziest wets over last Sunday, General Marmon, as a proof of his suisfatlion, ordered one day's pay to be dictributed, as a gratuity, among the troops. General Marmot* has placed military posts at a short distance from each other all along our coast, to prevent all communication with England (Dora/ C 1). NAOLIt, OCT. tB. The day before yesterday, a Courier arrived here front General Marmon, at the camp near Ziest, with dispatches for our Government, the Members of which immediately met, and continued to de liberate for several hours. It is supposed that these deliberations concerned the proposed change in our I)iredory. Our Ihreetors, ilaerselte and Brantsen, and the Secretary of State. Vandergnes, have left this place, as Extraordinary Ambassadors to Bonaparte. They go by way of Brussels to Paris. Citizen IT. H.

The Trr: ‘: mmut.th left Ben coolen for Bombay, and the other five ships sailed from thence the Bth June ; the Bombay frigate and Lord antlereog4 continuing in company about a week; the Ewope, Lady Casthrrogb, and Preston, continued their voyage without convoy, and arrived at St. Helena the I 4th August. They sailed from thence the II th September, with the Corsmatt and Omen whalers, which vessels parted from the India men a day or two afterwards. No ships were left at St. Helena, nor had any acco..nt b• r en received there of the Prise,: of Wert. The circumstance of the;e vessels havinl been de tails:A so long at Benconlen, gave rise to the un pleasant repo, which was last week in circulation, of their having fallen in with the enemy. They may, however, be considered a; particularly fortu nate, as they came the latter part of their voyage witl.our. convoy.

Yesterday morning we received Paris Papers to the 21J, and last night the Dutch Papers up to the 29th, the latest possible date, the latter we be lieve exelerively. An article from Frankfort states, that in prosecution of a plan to fortify Mentz, BON AP MITI intends to occupy several places upon the right bank of the Rhine. Should this prove to be the fiat, it will be another vio lation of the territory of the German empire. One of the first blessings attending By:: AAAAA E . & visit to tl..e vicinity of Franckfort, has been an order to the Senate of that city, to prohibit all po litical discussion, whether written or oral, and " all mercantile and political transaitions, which may be made use of, by foreign states, in a way contrary to the law of nations." Ti.is precious order for gagging all the citizens of Franckfort is evidently intended to boh- , r up the false accusation of :Arises Dc Ls 'Coucus in the pretended affair of Mr. DIA Kr. in which the Frankfort Merchants were represented as English Financial Agents.—With a view t.l excite the jealnusy of Austria, the I)utch Journals have been in►a titled to say, that the in surgent Servians upon its frontiers have sent depu ties to Russia to demand succours and proteSion ; and, with a view also, to remove all apprehension of a rupture between Russia and Franco, we are assured that the new order for recruiting the Russian army is only upnn the scale of the usual peace establish ment. The camp at Zeist will break up this week, when the troops destined for the immediate con quest of England will march leisurely into their winter quartets, when they will, no sfoubt, con sole themselves for this delay and disappointment, by plundering their Dutch friend+. New insutrt &ions in Switzerland chew the blessings of French frater nity in that once happy, but now wretched country. An Evening Print, formerly the organ of the Cor responding Society, but now as loyal as servility upon its side, and liberality upon the part of Go. *eminent, can make it, says, " Some time ago, we published a letter from Iceland, mentioning dis coveries that had been made at Leighlin bridge. Mans of our contemporaries considered the intelli gence it contained as unfounded. We should have been happy to have• found that o, have been tac fat. The Dublin Papers were pa• ticulaily against us. Those very Papers have now made the following communication : " Dublin, 00. St 3 " Y.oteriLly eveitinr., ft. post•rhairet. with prmine•-., str.oigly git were brought tie t. town to the CAstle, 41,1 to to fr.no the virinit• of Ltigh:ot la de." the Paper in question then proceeds to qiu,te the two letters under the head of Carlow, which we gave yesterday, stating that a party r.f dragooos had been sent from la-low to Leigh:to Brilge, to arrest some persons, kigaiiit.t whom vernniert had informntion. Tito account in paper to which we allude, lately announced the ,11.- col:cry of 30,00 n organised re'Juls. in the County 01 kildare. How far the subsequent ir.chi.n: arrest. of a few persons in tl.t. t•,, is a justification of that report, we leave to the de cision of every candid and impartial mind. µ• e do not wish to pursue this subjea for the purpose O f convieting fallacy and fabrication, upon the part of the individual accuser; nor to claim, for the country accused, a character for loyalty, happ iness , and tranquillity, which it may not deserve. We shall only say, that a statement so exaggerated, it it be not the oirspring of the most stupid credulity. has proceeded from a much more rapt ehensible motive. We yesteglay contradicted the report of the re ceipt last week of important intelligence front India. One of our contemporaries, however, stated that '• Government had received advices from ti.at (pat ter of so late a date a.. the 47th of May, which an nounce that an engagement hid taken place betw , :r, a division of the British troops, commanded by Co„ Jong MURRAY !General We: Ana l not Imvirg joined the arnty at the time), and a numerous beC.. of Ho LK A a's ft.rces, in which the former were de. feated with considerable loss in Officers and met,." The arrivals of yesterday confirm us still more is oar disbelief of this report. It is no doubt possible that a letter of the e^th of May may havebeen received from Bombay, but if any such had arrived, contain ing intelligence of so much importance, it is scarcely credible that it should have remained since ,last week a aecret to the Direaors ; and we know that nothing of that nature had transpired ) ,tcrday at the India House. It will he seen in our news from India, that some of the British Officers, who acre supposed to hare been 'murdered by the Caudian,, were living at die date of the last accounts fr.,m Ceylon. The G.:s, tte of last night contains an account of the capture of three French gun vessels by the Ditpateh sloop, off Point du Ras, on Wednesday last. The gun-boats had soldiers on board, and were bound from Odierne to Brest, but bad been Won .1 of the land the day before. The Captain of the LK.- pateA, not thinking them safe to send to t:: gland. took the guns out, sank them, and pot th: I:rench soldiers on board the sloop. The Cons/eft, was in company with the Di/patch, went in pu:s.ut of a 4th. which has no doubt shared the some fate. It is probable. that the capture of these gun brigs will deter this species of small craft from venturing along shore from Port to Port daring the Winter Months. It is also worthy of remark, that in the opinion of the Captain of tie D4etth, these gon brigs, alth,sogh new, s at: very fine, of their class, cannot be kept above water in eery blowing weather.
