LONDON, AUGUST 7, 18 oz. \V this morning received Paris Journals of the `3cl instant, by the French Post, and likewise a Msnite:ir of the 4.th insant, which was brought by an Express. The latter is more 'important than the French journals have been for some time. It contains the • ..;',.(l:lress of Senate to BONA- P ART E, on his being chosen Chief Consul for Life; the Seisatas , Consultum on this important occasion, and the Answer of the First Consul. These will be found highly interesting. This great ceremony took place at a Public Auilience. on Tuesday last, on which day a number of English—Noble roen and Gentlemen were presented to ;he Chief Consul. On the isth instant the Ssvatus Can stili4m is to be proclaimed in every Department in France, and the day is particularly to he celebrated as that of the Anniversary of .the Birth of BONAPARTE, of.the,Signature of O l e ,C on .. cordat, and of the promulgation of, this event. = It is, peiltaps, worthy of remark, that in the Circular Letter to the Prefeets, the 041 style is re. sorted to on this occasion. It leads us to hope, that BONAPARTE Me4nS to drop the Gi . psy-jauqn of the Revolution altogether, a measure which, we will confes, will add touch to our opinion of .his good sense. _ _ The French Funds still continue to decline : on the 31, the 5 per Cent. Fund was at 53. 5. We have just heard of ati affair of much delicacy, on which we should not presume to speak, were it not the, subjc:c.t of conversation. Some time ago Laly AUGUSTA MUltlirlY went to Lisbon, to the DUKE :)IP , SEX, who would not receive her, and the P'artugueze Government forced tier to return. — His Royal Highness has become deeply enamoured of one of the Daughters of the QUEEN of PORTUGAL, whose family encourage his passion, proud at the idea of an alliance with the Royal Family of Great 11ritain. The serious difficulty in the way is religion. His Royal Highness must either become a goman Catholic, Qr the Princess must become a Protestant, , The reports on this subject we cannot repeat ; but :pie fanatics of Portugal exult in the expectation of making a convert to the Catholic Church of a per sonage so illustrious. A Gentleman, Mr. FRERE, we understand, is on his way to Weymouth, to state the affair to His MAJFVFY, who, after the disa gt eeable e xplosion occasioned by' the Catholic Ques tion, when the late Ministers retired, must now ,feel regret at the revival of the subject.—Ybrning Pest. The Rev. Dr. VINCENT was this . forenoon in stalled Dean of the .Collegiate Church of West_ minster, and' we most heartily Congratulate the M fmbcrs of that venerable Church, on Mr.AnDING- Tox's dikernment in giving them a- Superior who has dohe honour 'to every situation he has already If sound Learning, unaffe&ed Piety, and a uniform regard to the Moral; Social, and Relative .Duties, are recommendations' to Ecclesiastical Dig_ nities, surely Dr. VINCENT'S claims to attention may be ranked in the first class. Ita must be ackuowledged that Mr. ADDING rON, in, his various appointments to the great Preferments in the Church, has sheirn a decided preference to cha.ras: - ter and abilities. The Rev. D r . WINGF !ELM is appointed Head r Maste of Westminster School, on 'the Rev. Dr. VINCENT'S being promoted to the Deanery Of West_ minsrer ; and the Rev. Mr. PAGE, -of Christ .Church, Oxford, is appointed Second Master, in, the room Of Dr. WINGF I EI,D. Yesterday sennight, ihe 'Right Reverend .} - 113 NT I NGFORD, Bishop of Gloucester, was en(hron ed, by proxy, in Gloucester Cathedral, with the usual ceremonies.‘ The proxy was the Rev. Mr. .SURTEES, the Prebendary in Residence. The death of Earl GROSVENOR will cause a va. cancy in the Representation for the- city of Chester, in consequence of Lord BEIGRAVE, one of :its Re presentatives, becoming a Peer by that event. Mr. Bußbok having been returned Member for Durham County, free of expellee, and in 'So inde 'endent a manner, is an honourable testimony of his writ and highly creditable to his Constituents. Mr, BARRINGTON, who . is S 0 far beliind the other Candidates op the Poll ft;r the City of Dublin, probably t,l4ves his defeat to 'the isupport of Mr. Mr. G 1 F FARD, who so properly objected to the Vote of Mr.•GRATTAN, in Dublin, has made him selfjobno4ious to ail the disaffetted people of that city, and we may venture to predict, thai as long as there are 'Vrattors in Ireland, that Gentleman will be one of the first ol.jettts of !heir resentment. 111r.11.

Tru; Audience of the Citrus Diplomatique yes. terday, wns interrupted by the introduCtion 9£ the Conseriative Senate. Citizen BARTIIELEMY, the President, spoke as follows : " CIT'iZtN'FIRST CONSUL, " The Freno), grateful for the immense services you have rendered to them, wish that the First Magistracy of the State should be irrevocably placed in your hands. In thus con ferring it upon you for life, they only express the opinion of the Senate, as stated in its Senatus Consulnms of the Bth of May. The Nation, b'y this solemn ail of gratitude, confides to you the task of consolidating our Institutions. " A new career commences for the First Consul—after prodigies of valour and militazy talents, he has terrn:nated the War, 241 obtained every where the most honourable con ditions of Peace. The French People under his auspices have assumed the attitude and charader of true greatness. — He is the Pacificator of Nations, and the Restorer of France His name alone is a tower of strength. " Already an Administration of less than three years has almost made us forget that epoch of anarchy arid calamities which seemed to have dried up the sources of public prospe rity. " But evils yet remain to be kealed, and inquietudes to be dissipated. The French People, after baying astonished the world by warlike exploits, exped of you, Citizen First Consul, all the benefits of that Peace which you have pro cured for them. " 1f seeds of discord still exist, the Proclamation of the Perpetual Consulate of BONAPARTS will dissipate them. Every one will now rally around him. His powerful genius will support and preserve all. He exists only for the pro sperity .and the happiness of the French People. His con stant efforts will be diredeti to increase the national glory and national greatness. What Nation, in fael, better deserves happiness, and of what People more enlightened, or more sensible, can he desire the esteem and attachment " The Conservative Senate will associate itself with all the generous maxims of Government. It will second, by all the means in its power, every amelioration which shall have for its end the prevention of the return of those evils by which we have been so long aflliAed, and the extension and consolidation of those benefits which you have conferred upon us. It is its duty also to contribute to the accomplish ment of the wishes of the People, which have been mani festedin a manner so honourable to their Zeal and their dis : cernment: ' " The' Sinatus Consultum which the Senate in a Body now present to you, Citizen First consul, contains the ex pression or its oven gratitude. The organ of the Sovereign Will, it was of opinion, could not.better fulfil the inten tions of the French People, thin by calling in the aid of the Arts to perpetuate the remembrance of this memorable event."

Mr' BLTIETT, we understand, is •a 'brother of .13AP.P.Y" moat, whose real name, it seems, is BLvErr.--# The new Performer resembles his brother in coon' tcnance, but is rather shorter, and very much mac portly. He possesses a full, clear, and strong v oice; And appears to be a man of sense, He ma y b e s.itid to have recited Richard with judgment rather al . to have aged it. It was evident that he is we ll acquainted with the text, which he delivered Wi t ; force and precision. indeed in some p a ssages 11 " gave novel readings, wlzicli indicated reflection ra" then than critical vanity.

On the contrary, assfr i te appearance, the whole was an effort very credit 4 b 4 to the Performer. We do not, however, eo n Ceil that Mr. BLVETT is calculated for such a chorAcle, as Richard, but in parts of sententious dignity may become a respeaablc Performer, if he has de; termined to adopt the theatrical profession.
