PARIS, APRIL 24. I send you a detail of the Ceremonies . which wete 'observed here last Sunday, both in honour of the re storation of Religious Worship, and of the Peace of Europe: At eight o'clock in the morning a ProclaMa . tion respeling Public Worship was Made in the principal streets of this City, With great pomp and solemnity ; at ten, the Members of the Cotirts of Justice and of the Supreme Tribunal of Cas_ sation, went in procession from the Palace of Justice to the Cathedral of Notre Dame; at half_ past to, the Members of the Tribunate, and Of the Legislative Body, also repaired thither ftom their several Palaces; about the game time, the Place de Carousel was filled with the Troops of the Consular Guard, • both Horse and Foot, when the First Consul, very plainly dresSed in a blue uniform with two gold epaulets, mounted his charger at the grand entrance of the Thuilleries, and passed along the different lines, preceded by five Ma melucs on horseback, and followed by a groupe of General Officers, and Aidet-de-Camp, Superbly deco rated,'ariiids t a flourish of kettle-drums and trumpets, the sound of Martial instruments, and a discharge of 6b pieces of cannon. After the review closed, he alighted at the Thuilleries, assumed - his Con sular dress, (scarlet velvet embroidered with gold), and gave audience to the Foreign Minister, who had previously arrived in the Hall of the Ambassadors, in Court dresses. Every Ambassador was requested to sport four horses on the occasion, and - the same rule was adopted by the Ministers of State anti Counsellors, the former of whom were alssi obliged to put their Servants in a peculiar livery; YelloW and scarlet with gold lace. The carriages of the Ministers were drawn up in a line on the right of the grand entrance . of the Consular Palace, and the Carriages of the Foreign Ambassa dors to the left. At ten Minutes past eleven, a dis charge of 6o pieces of ordnance announced the de parture of the Procession!, which went in the fol- lowing order : Six Trumpeters and Kettle Druni. One Regiment of Chasseurs. A Band of Music preceding the Grenadiers of Marenkb. Another Band of Music preceding a Battalion of the Consular Guard. Another Band preceding a Battalion of Grenadiers. The same again. Another Band preceding the Light Infantry. Trumpeters and Kettle Drum. A Regiment of Dragoons. Trumpeters and Kettle Drum. A Regiment of Chasseurs, called Casse-con. Trumpeters and Kettle Drum. The Regiment of Gens d'Armerie. forty-five Carriages, with four horses each, in which were the Ambassadors, Ministers, Counsellors of State, and a few Generals. Two Carriages with six Horses. the Corps of Mamelucs on foot, leading Horses superbly caparisoned. The Consular Carriage, drawn by eight Horses, in which were the three Consuls. BONAPARTE sat to the right, having CAmancExEs to his left; LE 13x94 sat opposite to them. Behind, and around the Carriage, were General Officers, horseback. yo ungßxAuttAitNo is, and the Aides-de-Camp, all on The Procession closed with a Regiment of Horse Chasseurs. The livery of the servants of the FIRST 'CONSUL was a dark blue, laced with gold. The streets were lined with soldiers it proper distances, from the Palace to Notre Dame. There was very little applause—l paid particular attention to this circumstance. When they had arrived at the Cathedral, there was another salute of artillery, and the Consuls were received by the Archbishop of Paris, and the other Dignified Clergy. Cardinal CAPRARA said mass. After the Gospel, the Archbishops and Bishops suc cessively did homage to the First Consul, that is, as they passed him, they made a genuflelion, and he imposed both his hands on them, in the same manner as the High Priest of the Hebrews was wont to do, or the Popes in modern times. During the course of the ceremony, the First Con sul preserved a starch grimace, and crossed himself several times. The other two Consuls were seated at a little distance behind on the right and left of him. Thus, at one coup d'ceil, BONAPARTE had a full view of his Clergy, his Army, and all his Public Authorities, for a Battalion of Troops were in his front and rear When MEHUL, the Leader of the Band, presented him with the plan of . the Festival., in which the Orchestra was placed in front, the , CONSUL observed, " Let the music go into the tri bunes ; I will have a battalion of troops in front and rear, rangies en bataille." The other remon , strated, that the music would' be entirely lost ; " That's all one to me, (said the CONSUL), I'll have the Soldiers in front of me." After the Sermon was over, the Consuls returned in the same procession, only it was inverted, as they went first. At night there was a general Illu mination, the most miserable of the sort, I ever witnessed. The Palace of the ThUilleries, and the house of CAMBACERES, were the only plaoo:worthy to be seen. ty au; PROCLAMATIOI'; GEORGE R.

Now that the blaze of Revolution is over, a few little sparks flash in the outskirts before its total extinction. The redoubtable republic of St. Ma rino, which had maintained its dignity and consti tution amidst all the tempests which made a wreck of Italy, has now at length wrought a change in its constitution ; the Little Council, which consisted of nine members, is increased to twelve ; the Great Council is augmented from sixty to three hundred, and the Chief Magistrate is to be chosen every three months. This important event must not be considered as a burlesque on Revolutions, as the republic of St. Marino can muster full eleven hundred men, women, and children ! Mr. Wooos, who has for so many years been a respectable Alor en the Edinburgh Stage, took his final leave of the Public yesterday se'nnight. PAR I SOT, we are sorry to hear, is so alarmingly indisposed, that there is little chance of her being soon able to resume her station. The libertine hero .of Fashionable Friends, who is supposed to be carrying on an amour with three ladies at the same time, Was performed at the Straw berry Hill Theatre by Lord MOUNT EDGECUMBE. Lady BUCKINGHAMSHIRE on this occasion ex claimed, And dwell such daring nth in little men?"' The Marquis of As ERCORN has, we find, employ ed the Pic-nic performers for one night. JONES, BRESLAW, and the immortal KATTERFELTO, Used to exhibit their talents to private parties, and con trived to pick up a tolerable livelihood. We hope the Dilletanti Dramatists will be able to do the s a me, without invading• the rights of Patent Pro. perty. • The solicitude with which Lord MOUNT EDGE' CUMB E superintended the Rehearsals of Fashionable Friends, has brought upon him the suspicion of being the author of that unfortunate piece. His Lordship, we understand, smiles at the imputation, but those who pretend to be very discerning in physiognomy, say that his features betray something of Sardonic mirth. • We cannot suppose the Play lately brought for ward so unsuccessfully at Drury Lane Theatre to have been the production of the late Lord ORFORD'S pen. Though there was nothing very vigorous about his Lordship's writing, yet we think he could hardly write so ill. When the brave Admiral Kempenfelt, unhap pily lost in the Royal George, was coming into Portsmouth to have his ship paid off, a sailor eyed a gold laced velvet waistcoat which his commander wore, with great earnestness, and, in his best sea fashion, begged to know who made it. The Ad miral, perceiving his drift, gave him the necessary information, and Jack went on shore. He forth with applied to the Admiral's taylor, who, knowing the humours of his customers, went with him to buy the materials, and at last asked what he would have the back made of! " Made of," said Jack, " the same as the front, to be sure." The taylor remon strated, but in vain_; so- the waistcoat was made, and put on with an old greasy jacket over it. One day, in the High -street, - the Admiral met his man in this curious dress, which occasioned him to laugh heartily ; and this merry fit- was not a little in creased, when Jack coming up to him, lifted the hind part of his jacket, and slimed his gold laced back, and exclaimed, " D—n me, old boy, nu false colours ; stem and stern alike by G—d !"

A waggon, with baggage and some wo men, belonging to the ist Regiment of Royal Horse Dragoons, quartered here, coming down Bozley Banks Hill, near Lydden, the drag chain broke,. .which occasioned the waggon to, be overrun and upset. One poor woman was killed on the spot, an other had her leg broke, and several others; both men and women, were much bruised. One poor woman had three small children with her rn the waggon, but happily both mother and children escaped unhurt. Early on Sunday morning last, Mrs. Lingharn, whose husband keeps the Turnpike-gate at Lea therhead, in Surrey, in a fir of despondency took, so violent a dose of arsenic as to cause her death. `S't;c: had for some time past been much depressed by me-. lancholy, and about three o'clock in the morning she awoke her husband, and presenting him her infant son, about four months old, exclaimed, From a dead woman !" and soon after expired. The Coroner's Inquest have since sat upon the body, and gave in their verdia Lunacy. Mr. Cross's new Pantoinime of the Enchanted Harp, at the Royal Circus, rises rapidly in the Public estimation, and `brings crowded audiences', being got up with judginent and in a superior stile of elegance. The Plot is also highly interesting, and the exertions of the Performers in general are truly conspicuous. In the. vocal department Mrs. Roffey and Mrs. Herbert are truly "pleasing : also Messrs.. Burrows, Helme, Betts, Broadhurst, &c.—_ Montgomery's Clown is replete With humour, and Mrs: Wybrow's Columbine is charming. The dancing by the Miss Adams's is 'eXceeding graceful and pleasing. The Spee - tacle of Rinaldo Rinaldini is also attradive; Mr. Palmer, in Rinaldo, appears truly charaaeristic, arid,'Miss Adams, in Aurelia, perforMs with ease' and 'expression. Master Saun ders, in the equestrian department, continues to be the unrivalled hero of the day. THE RAT'S NEST.-7A singular circumstance oc. curred to Mr. Reid,' an eminent horse-dealer of Dundee, within these few daits : He had carefully deposited in a press a parcel of bank notes; to the amount of 801. for a' payment he had to make. When the demand came, he went for his notes,. but not one of them was to be seen, though they had been there shortly before, and no person having been in the room except one man, suspicion naturally fell' upon him, and of course gave him no small uneasiness ; his protestations were of no avail; but on a minute examination of the cloSet; the corner .of a bank note was perceived sticking through a small hole ; this led to a farther inves tigation, when the whole of the notes, perfe6ily entire, were found neatly piled up in the shape of a rat's nest, so that the 'property was safely reco vered, much to the satisfa6tion of all concerned, except the unfortunate rat, who would now be un. • . der the necessity of recurring to the itrww.
