THE Gazette oflas.t night announces the appoint.. ment of the new Lords of the Treasury and of the Mmiralty, and also of the two new Secretaries of State, Lords CtOADEN and HA.Estowrly. They are prsely the same as we have already stated to our headers,. Irr addition to the Arringernents which we have already announced, and :hose which appeared the Gazette of last night, the following 4'ippointtp:nts have taken place : Earl BATHURST, Master of the Mint ; Earl of AYLESFORD, Lord Stetvai.d of the House. hold ; night Hon. GEORGE CANNING, Treasurer of the Navy ; Right Hon. WiLt.IAMDUNDAS,SeCretny at War Right Hon. GEORGE ROSE, isYlnt PaymasttE ; &al of DARTMOUTH (as we indeed statcti yester . c l a y) Chamberlain of His Majesty's ,FI msehrild ; Lord Delui9zAvE, Clvincellor cf she autt,hy of, Lancaster, .THERv appears very, little dciubt boLthat Bo ; 1 / 4 1A. : 2 PARTE will very speedily carry into execution his' favourite- plan of assuming the title. of Emperor. It is even stated : that a Foreign Ministeri.residing in London, has received' intelligence that he has been proclaimed in Paris. The Coronation is, how. ever, to be deferred to August,- and the 'ceremony is 'to be performed at Aix la Chapelle. the Imperial Robes are already. embroidered, and all , the Regalia are in a state of preparation.- This, after so many . years of anarchy, after so Mau) , hundred of th6usands of lives have been sacrificed for the purpose 'of establishing a free Republican Government—after so many oaths of eternal hatred to Kings and to Royalty, France is to have a Government beyond all comparison more arbitrary than that of which she got rid in 1789. The Free 'Republic ends in an 'Absolute Monarchy, and she Free Itt publicans, after swearing hatred to Kings, are compelled to eleCt a Foreig:ver to fill. the Throne of France. What effed this extral ordinary measure will have upon the Powers of Europe, it is impossible. at present to foresee it we are to judge from the past,, we should expel only tame acquiescence and submission ; but we have reason to believe that the great Continental Powers are becoming every day more and more con vinced of the necessity of placing some limits to the insolence and the ambition of France ; and now that they see the affairs of Great Britain directed by a wise and vigorous Administration, we cannot but entertain the hope that they may be induced to make some exertions for their own safety, and for the independence of Europe. Yesterday morning, about twelve o'clock, His MAJESTY, accompanied by the Duke of CAM BRI DC E, HER MAJESTY, and the five PRINCESSES, attended by the Countesses of CARDIGAN and AYLESBURY, took an airing in three carriages and four, with their usual escort, : and honoured - the Countess of MANFIEL'D With a visit at Richmond. Park, and returned to the Queen's House soon after two o'clock.—About three o'clock His MAJESTY gave audiences ,to the Duke of Motcrkos E, the Earls W“k/Cli ILSE. WILTON, and UXBRIDGE, Sir H. B. NEALE, and Mr. WM. DUNDAS. The FR INC tz of WALES - yesterday gave a grand dinner at, carlton.House. Among the splendid and numerous guests who were invited on this oc. casion, were `m,any distinguished Political Cha raders. Hence it has been inferred, that His Royal Highness intended that the dinner should be consi dered AS a kited of po:itkal ilte, to manifest his own principles and feelings. We do not, however, view the matter in this light, but conceive that the Heir App,trent natorally thinks.it becoming his sta tion to spew his resped for the rank, property, and talents that adorn the Country, aria support that Government it,h which his own interest and berlotir are essentially blended. The Pubiic Prints differ in their accounts of the persons who were present on this occasion ; hut the following is peihaps the most corred list of the more distinguished visitors Duke of Clarence; Earl Carnarvon, Duke of Bedford,. Lord D tincias, Duke of Devonshire, - Lord Minn), Marquis of Buckingham.; Lord Grenville, • Earl of Derby, • Lord Morveth, Larl of Carii , le, Mr. Fox, . Earl Fitz William, Mr. Grey, Earl Egremont, Mr. Windham, Earl Darnley, Mr. Sheridan, Earl Lauderdale, Mr. T. The Company assembled in the brand Saloon, and the dinner took place at seven o'clock. The only Tdast given, on the removal of thecloth, was " THE KING," a circumstance that marks the tnectii;g as having_originated in the pure spirit of filial and fervid loyalty. .
