A comier, who yesterday passed tlitough this

an embargo has been laid on all swedish ships
found in trench ports, and that the Swedish ships
which may arrive in the Sound, destined for such
ports, must make their voyage to other ports.

ROME, NOV. 3.

The following are the more particular circum-
stances attending the departure of the Pope :
Yesterday morning, about half atter eight, the
27th of a!lober, he returned from his villa; And on
the 29th held two consistories, one public and one
. .

private ; and on the 30th and 31st received the visits
of the Diplomatic Corps, the Cardinals, and other
persons of distinrtion without the city. Yesterday
morning, about sevln o'clock, His Holiness went
to Saint Peter's, and celebrated a .4, was
present at a second, and afterwards set out
on his journey, accompanied by the Cardinals -
and the Prelates attached to his Court. Bluth
his Holiness and the Cardinals were is pcullawaibui.
Two Cardinals rode in the same carriage with his
Holiness, and a vast concourse of people accompa-
niedhim out of the city. Persons of all conditions
and ages threw themselves no their knees before
him, to receive once more his blessing, exclaiming,
Rita►nafe resin, Swim Pak,, rilwriale prestenimo '
Return soon, very sour, Holy Father ! His Holi-
ness appeared much affeeled by this public proof of
the reverence and attachment of the people, and
grateful tears stood in his eyes. The journey of his
Holiness was, in faet, fixed for to-day—but his de-
parture was hastened by two successive Couriers
from Paris.

During the absence of Cardinal Pesch, the Prelate

I,ON DON,
'IUESD DICCEMItek 11.

We have received a regular series of the llooPeur
and the Journal drs Dolcaseurt to the 2d inst. Their
principal, if not only feature, is the plan of the Co.
ronation Ceremony, which is detailed in three con-
secutive numbers of the official paper. It was to
take place upon the 2d, so that the report of its
adjournment is without foundation. As au historical

monument of the degradation of modern Franc.,
nothing can be more interesting than this sacri-
legious farce. It is the consolidation of the over-
throw of the moral and political system, by con•
fearing upon flagrant guilt the highest reward this
world has to bestow upon virtue, and giving to
treason and rebellion the sword of justice, and all
the honour, the power, and the glory, of a legitimate
Sovereign. To aggravate the blasphemy of this
most infamous ceremony, the litre gauly Corsican
puppet, lost to every generous sentiment that adorns
human nature, dares to insult even the ashes of
the dead. Upon his return from Notre Dame he
passes with his slavish procession over :he P ;dee de
Concorde, where the good Louts the XVIIII, his
beauteous QUEEN, and his virtuous Sister, were so
inhumanly murdered ; and by the Church of the
Magdalene, where the ashes of these Royal Martyrs
repose, confounded with the many thmaiand vi limn
of revolutionary fury. What a dreadful interval
between these two event—the Murder of Lours,
and the Coronation of BON•PARTE—for the philoso-
phic mind to contemplate! During that interval,
rivers of blood have flowed in France. Sorrow has
invaded every virtuous bosom; and liberty, content,
and happiness, have fled from every dwelling.
Equality and fraternity have echoed from the Eng•
lish Channel to the Mediterranean Sea ; and what
has been the result of all this horror, misery, suffer-
ing, and clamour ? To pull down and destroy every
thing great and good, by birth, talent, or hereditary
right ; to reduce thirty millions of happy subjs.& to
thirty millions of wretched slaves ; and to place at
their head a 'tyrant, a Despot, a Corsican, a Fo-
reigner, an Adventurer, a Traitor, Poisoner, Mur-
derer, Atheist, and Deserter of his army, under the
nick-name of .4 EMPEROR of the Farts ir."

We have also received Dutch Papers up to the
eth.—Ths Legislative Body, at the Hague,
continues to sit, as no change in the Constitution
was apprehended. Several new Committees have
been appointed, and the TEreelory has renewed
its former message concerning the rkticit in the
budget tor this year, together with a new budget
for 11105. Notwithstanding its former rejenion of
these Financial Acts, the Legislative Corps has ap-
pointed a Committee to deliberate on it, and give
in its report. The &fret is enormous.

These Papers also contain the Official Order of
the Batavian Government, to its Civil and Military
Officers, desiring them not to obey any orders con-
trary to the orders of their own Government, con-
cerning the importation of goods from England,
as stated yesterday in the letter of our I'rivate Cor-
respoodent.

IL is reported that some gentlemen conneled with
the Spanish trade have had an interview with Mr.
Pitt, who did not give them the slightest hopes that
war would be avoided. Some measures, it is add-

or cal kJ into those of Spain.

In this aftion, the Plaintiff was a shipwright, the
Defendant a painter, and both next dcor neighbours.
Upon the eridesice of Isabella Peattie, a child of
only 11 years of age, it appeared, that her mother
ens washing in the yard of the house, into which
the Defendant's v..iudows look ; while she was kneel-
ing upon a tabie up-stairs, she saw the Defendant
take a bucket cf clean water, and throw it upon her
soother—which wet her all over; lie next threw a
paint-pot of lead colotteall over the clothes in the
yard ; she was very pregnant at the time, and in
very good health ; but, horn that moment, she was
taken very ill, and continued so for six weeks.
On her croes-examination by Mr. ERSKINE, she
said, she was not desired to say so ; she did not see
her mother throw any suds upon the Defendant's
wife and child.

Mary Sculcrnff. who had been a servant to the
Plaintiff, said, there had been a good deal of ag-
gravating words between the ladies, and they called
each other bad names. Mrs. Rolls threatened to
throw the cover of a saucepan at her mistress ; and
she, in return, said, she would fling the con rents of
her washing tub at her; she saw her throw the suds
igainst the Defendant's window, and the water
from the latter's premises, but she could not say who
did it ; her mistress was wringing wet ; was taken
very ill, and put to bed, when her master gave her
some hot brandy and water, and she was not well
for six weeks after.
On her cross-examination she said, Mr. Rolls
threatened to put her in the pillory, if she should
say that she saw him throw the water.
Mr. Easetme, in stating the DAindant's case,
observed what a melancholy thing it was, that poor
people. of the description of the parties in this
cause, who had so much difficulty in supporting
themselves and their families, should carry. their re-
sentment so far, as almost to ruin each other by
such scenes of litigation. This appeared a case of
tutual abuse and aggravation, and, if he was rightly
'strutted, be would prove that the Plaintiff's wife
'as the aggressor.
The son of the Defendant was then called: he was
boy about 14 years old ; he said, that some words
passed between his mother and the Plaintiff's
when the latter threw soap-sods through the
hew at his mother, and a little child in her arms ;
ilso was pregnant at the time.
he next witness, one Wm. Lewell, went toprove,

is with difficulty she could be carried out of Court.
