Besides the Prefeas and Sin-Prefeas who have
graciously b...en invited to assist at tie Emperor',
Cr ionietion, the Presidents of the Crim ntl Courts
of /Otis'', and the Presidecs of the General Own
call or the Departments, have received letters of
convocation for the 25th November, to arrive at
Paris.
Each Theatre, not only in the capital, but all
over France, has some new piece relative to the
memorable event of the Emperor's Coronation,
which will be presented g. ortit, every day, for a fort-
eight, from the 2d of next December.
NOTRE DAME.
The preparations at Notre-Dame are pushed for-
ward wit'l &eat aiivity. .The timber-work and
joiners'-work are ,ntirely completed, and you may
form at present an idea of the whole plan. Each
of the four which form the lower sides of
the ground flocr of the body of the church, is nc •
(spiel by two nersof ben. hes, which form between
each entre colonnade of the body of the church, an
amphitheatre of four stages. Each stage consists
ef tour rows of benches, and a void spare, nearly
equal to that occupied by thp benches. The galle-
ries above are entirely occtipiesi by two stages of
seats, forming an amphitheatre like that below.
Large ventilators, in every part of this vast struc-
ture, will facilitate the circulation of the air, and
afford the means of preserving order at this august
ceremony.

In the body of the Church, at a short distance
from the door, is raised upon a pedestal of several
A Triumphal Arch, which rm. erns:, with the
assieance of a railing at each side. It is there the
Imperial throne will- be placed, opposite to the
Altar. Upon each of the side, .t shit Triumphal
Arch, which is already finished, we read there
words, Nefrolester, Eerveremr, flannel'', et Peer,. Above
are placed the Arms of the Emperor, such as they
avear upon the seal of state, a golden eagle,
u7on a field of astir, surrounded with a chain, to
hich is att.,-ised the grand star of the Legion of
Honour. Behind the shield, and upon the ermine
mantle which forms its grounds are pl tired cross-

aen.!ed with a great number of trophies, figures of

tale, it is obvious that the walls of the choir, and
f the nave, will be covered with draperies. Fi-
ures of gilt angels are also preparing for the pur-
ose of carrying wax tapers, to be placed at a great
eight between the pillars. Stars, golden bees.

Atch are the ornaments most generally used in the
nieces that are to cover the timbe r-work. Nume-
otis Pickets of watei men and vetemans are charged
ath the superintendance in the interior of the
hurth.
The timher-woric in the form of a rotunda, raised
t the cloister, is intended to recei Iv a tent. It is
of more than 20 years, since such works requited
to labour of several years, aad enormous expeaccs

or rather when it would have been impossible to ex-
ecute them I Thanks to the astonishing perfeetion to
. which the art of solid and ornamental carpenters'
work has been carried in our time ; a few months
will have proved sufficient to produce these WWI..
tiers, with less expence than could possibly be con-
ceived, from a comparison of the present, with
former efforts at all like the present. This monu-
ment of French industry and taste will not be the
least astonishing speCtacle which this grand solem-
nity will present to the eyes of Europe.
The scaffoldings erred in the church of Notre
Dame will contain from '44 to 30,000 persons.
The place of the deputations of the departments,
and the military corps, is fixed in such a manner,
that they can all see the Emperor.
TilE IMPERIAL MANTLES.
Persons who have seen the Imperial Mantle of h's
give the following description of it. This Mantle si the sliest
velvet, of amarantlitas colour, four ells (six yards English) long
(torn the extremity of the train to the top of the eiilar, and
nearly eight wide. The ground is peruser, with golden bees;
embroidered in boss. It Is edged with a golden border a!sii in
gold, the richness of which is only equall..d by the work.non.
ship. At equal intervals, in the midst of branches of laurel,
'in full bloom, and earn of cur pleasingly intermixed is a niter
sun, surmounted by an oak and an olivei and within the sun,
the btt.:r \. in raiskgold. This Mantle o entirely lined with
ermine ; ui !fur emends nearly inches in breadtll, beyond
the border in gild. It haa also a broad cellar, in the slcipe of
a tippet, all id ermine. There i.. only one open slew:, like
that of a Turkish dress; and' upon the other aide, an opening,
which is to he closed with a ctasp of diamonds. The Mantle
of the Entmess, winch is .not yet finished, will be in every re-
; 5..e.1 like Stint of tier august Consort, with this exception, that
the .uns in the border are of I, Ad, and the letter N of silver.
THE EMPRESS'S CORONATION cisnin.
The 17,,t1i 1111101 her Majesty will wear upon the day of her
conanatio:i, will be the most splendid article of tile kind ever
sJeli. It is entirely composed of diamond; in roses, mounted
upon a tissue of gold The diamond of her Majesty th! Em-
press will not be less magnificent.
REHEARSAL OF THE. CAVALCADE.
A ling string of carriages of the Emperor's
household, on the morning of the 18th, crossed the
street of Notre Dame, turned to the left of the
street, towards the Administration of the Civil Hos-
pital, entered the cloister, which is considerably en-
larged by the demolitions, then made a tour of the
ro..unda lately built ar tberere of Notre Dame, and
drew up, part upon toe bridge De la Cite, and part
in various places adjoining the Isle of St. Louis.
Them carriages were, in number, about 40, each
drawn by six horses. Two of the carriages repre-
sented those of the Emperor and Empress. One of
them was drawn by eight cream-coloured horses, of
the greatest beauty ; the other, by eight superb
horses of dappled grey. The carriage of the Em-
peror, after having made a tour of the rotunda, en-
tered into the court-yard of the Archbishop's Palace.
—This proceeding was a k;nd of rehearsal, to en-
ablu the coachmen, and other conduCtors of the
procession, to ascertain the means of accommoda-
tion which the place afforded, and to make the ne-
cessary dispositions without trouble or confusion,
upon the day of the coronation.

RANSURGII, Nov. 23.

(Extract of • Private Lett,t.)
" The French have demanded from Lubeck,
a loan of 204,00 biz doilars; but as it appears,
from the liberation of Sir Geonox Rust aos.n, that
the King of MIA will exert his influence in fa-
vour of the Circle of Liver Saxony, the city has
been emboldened to refuse it.
" The rrsons who robbed the English Courier
(Mr Warisr•vr) are well known; the principal
was the Comm 4nd.int nt i< r zeburgh. There were
besides '2 Geus d'Arincs, and 6 common soldiers."

lIILIN. KOY. 20.
The diy before yesterday the French Envoy here
received a Courier from Paris. He immediately
repaired to the State and Cabinet Minister, Baron
Hardenberg, and delivered to him a letter from his
kmperor to His Prussian Majesty. We have since
learned that the Chevali, kurnbold has been set at
liberty in conseq.leGcQ ut the protection of our So-
; as IS .11,0 mentioned in our journals from
the 11,•uteur.

♦IENNA, NOV. 14.
In the course of the last two months, the State
paper here has gradually fallen very considerable:
in order to raise it again, the Court, within the last
week, has begun to buy it up; in consequence of
which, it has again risen two per ce.d.

Nov. 16.

According to accounts from Naples, the king of
the two Sicilies has orde•ed a strict recruiting, by
which every 30th man, of those able to bear arms,
must enter into military service.
In consequence of the distemper at Leghorn,
orders have been sent to 'iciest, Venice, and other
places on the Adriatic, to take measures tf the
sit idlest precautions.

LEOHOFtN, NOV. r.
In consequence of the rainy and windy weather,
which now prevails, it is hoped the distemper here
will soon abate : only one of the physicians has hi-
therto died of it ; and other physicians have been
sent from Genoa and Lucca, to examine into the
nature 4 the disorder. Nane of the people in the
hospitals, who take care of the sick, have yet died.
The cordon may be passed through with a certificate
of health. The sickness principally prevails in three
streets. Since it began, 3)7 persons have died ; but
of these 101 died of the small-post, or other disor-
ders. Many of the inhabitants have lest this city,
and none into the country. The bodies of those who
now die are burned in lime.

LONDON,

SATURDAY, Deena Mt 1.
We received List night Paris Papers to the 29d
ult. The fruitful brain of BON AAAAA I, to pal-
liate his crimes and offences against the lows of na-
tions, has invented a new plot against his sacrsd
person. We have copied the whole account of it,
as detailed in the Aletsticesr. It may, serve to enter-
tain our readers, although inferior to many pieces
of the same author. Two brothers, of the name
of naps, are tie principal performers ; and as
an English char.uler is considered essential in
all this class of French pieces, an important part
is assigned to Mr. TAYLOR, our Minister to the
Eleaur of Iltssx. The arrest and release of Sir
Groaos Runes:KO are now fully explained. The
Corsican hoped to find something in the papers of
the Baronet which might give a colour to this fa-
brication ; but, disappointed in that hop?, he makes
a merit of releasing him in compliment to the King
of PRUSSIA. We might appeal to the absurdity of
the pieces in the Monitrur, as evidence of their false-
hood ; but we have still stronger proof. Can any
man suppose Mr. TAYLOR could be weak enough
to engage in such a plot, so recently after the busi-
ness of MERLE DE LA Toucan Mr. TAYLOR
could not forget that the advanced• post of the
French banditti were at Munster, in Hanover, only
five German miles from Cassel, the capital of the
Ele&orof Hans; and, as it were, within the grasp
of the Tyrant who had recently driven Mr. DRAKE
from Munich, and Mr. Sreocea Sutra tiorn Stut-
gllT d. We know, besides, from our private correspond-
ence, that this pretended plot is looked upon as a
state trick even in Paris. The crafty Ta Ly-
e ario hinted, in a late diplomatic circle, that the
EMPEROR of the FRENCH would be gratified by a
congratulatory address from the diplomatic corps,
which last March set an example of meanness even
to French slaves and sycophants ; but, a majority
of the Foreign Ministers declined that honour, until
they should have received instruaions from their
Courts. It was, however, expetled, that all the
Military and Civil Authorities at Paris would come
forward handsomely upon the occasion. The plot-
ting manufaaory. and the system of violence against
the Laws of Nations, du not appear to be confined
to the eastern hemisphere; the Marauders of Bo-
NA PARTE cover the whole globe. The Moniieut
states, that the French have seized some evil dis-
posed persons in the Danish Island of St, Thomas's,
and carried them to Guadaloupe, there to be
disposed of according to law. This extraordi-
nary aggression is not accompanied by a single
coin/molt in the official paper. Some Lrei •lingered
Jani in the West Indies was no doubt leagued with
the 'hums in Europe, against the life of Bu NA PA II Ir,
over whom the Aenr/ of justice has been so long
suspended.

Another farce of a much more entertaining kind,
the Coronation, has been put in rehearsal, and will
be performed on Cie '2d inst. Upon the 18th last,
forty state coaches went in procession to the Church
of Notre Dime in the same order as will be observed
upon the day of the stew. We hive given an ac-
count of this cavalcade ; of the dresses of the En:-
prior and Empress; of the ornaments of the Chinch
of Notre Dame, in which the ceremony will be per-
formed ; and of the various other preparations in
Paris for this grand spectacle. These details in a
great measure anticipate the report of the ceremony.
which will probably fill the pages of the next set of
Paris Papers.

OF KINGS BENCII, GRILENALL, Nov. 5 ).
At one o'clock, Lord ELEENRIIROUGH retired
from Court, and Mr. Justiee Lauer:Nee presided.
GASEINtit R. SCALES.
This was an aflion for goods sold and delivered,
consisting of 18 dozen of port, sherry, and Madei-
ra, amounting to 501. ss. to which the Defendant
had pleaded nom
Mr. GARROW stated the Plaintiff's case. He se:
out by oh .erving, that he iinder•tood the defence
intended to be set up, was that of infancy ; but he
was satisfied he should be able to shew that these
goods Were *anal necessaries. The Defendant had
carried on an extensive trade as a West-India Mer-
chant in the city : had been introduced by his father
to a respetlable banking-house, where a sum of
one thousand pounds was lodged to his credit.—
He lived in the stile of one of the first merchants in
London, kept his country-house at Blackheath, his
compting-house in the city, and his dwelling-house
aethe %Vest end of the town ; lie also drove his cur-
tide and pair, kept a number of servants, and so
on. He,-therefore, trusted no such defence as in-
' fancy would be attempted to be set up ; and as the
wine in question was for his own consumption, he
bad no doubt but the Jury would find a verdi& tor
his client.
The delivery of the wine was then proved, and
some respectable witnesses called, who stated, that
they had given him credit to a large amount; that
he kept allouse at Blackheath, and a lodging at the
West-end of the Town,where he had a female com-
panion. A clerk, from the bank of Messrs. Moffit
and Co. proved the lodgment of the 10001.
Mr. Wfosy, on the part of the Defendant, in-
formed his Lordship and the Jury, that the defence
he should set up teas that of infancy : he regretted
conch that the father of the Defendant had been so
incautious to give up his property to a young man,
who was
.not of age, and ot, so ezpen,ive a turn ;
from his being a minor, htcOuld not he made a
bankrupt ; he was now in 1001, and wished to give
up the whole of his property for the benefit of his
creditors ; but was obliged to make this defence, as
be had no other means of liquidating uis debts.
The time of the Defeedant's birth was then
proved by the de,lor who attended his mother, and
by his father ; he bring a dissenter, among whom
no sett ficate of registry was kept. The father was
a tile-soaker, residing at Sts.ke Newington, and had
live other children. By this evidence it appeared,
be would not he of age until neat month.
Mr. C ARKO w spoke to evidence at some le7tgth :
•he ccntended, that the wine which the Defendant
had received was necessary ; and adduced the case
of tea, which, though some years ago was counted
i superfluity, was now considered as a necessary ; in
the same way, he contended, so was wine. He then
mentioned a case of a young Oxonian, against whom
sal aflion was brought, for a quantity of wine, and
the use of a curricle ; and in that case, Lord EA sib.*
SOROUGN held it, that though the cur-ride was not a
necessary, yet, according to the rank and station in
life, the wine might fairly be considered as such.
Mr. Justice LAWRENCE, in summing up the evi-
-1 denee to the Jury, observed, that he did not think
that tea was to be put upon the same footing witbJ
wine. In this case, the Defendant was allowed to'
fill into the world : he had his counting house in the
, his country-house, and his furnished lodgings,
a mistress at the West end of the town ; he had
rguilty of great extravagance ; he had gut
hteen dozen of diffaent sorts of wine; and the
question was, whether, according, to his situation
it life, what he had got from the Plaintiff was a
siseessary or not ? for his part, he could not consider
k as such.
The Jory, without hesitation, found a verdid of
SOL ss. for the PlAii.tiff.

MANSION•NOUSZ.
11!sterday a young man and a boy 'ere brought
before the Loan Mat : the boy had presented a
bill for ‘2;11. Ws. purporting to be drass is by Mr.
Theymer on a banking-house in Lombard-street,
and was detaled by Mr. Theymer having ceased
to deal for some time at the house. Ihe young
man waited in the street for the boy to return, and
was taken into custody; on his examination, he said
that he had found the check behind the Mansion-
house. Mr. Morgan, of Lawrencelane, 'attended,
and said the Prisoner occasionally attended his
warehouses, that he was of a very respeaable fa-
mily, and that be would have given him any money
he wanted. His Lordship said he did not doubt it ;
but the circumstances were so strong against the
Prisoner, that he must commit him for teal at the
ensuing Sessions, which commence next Wednesday.
The Vito, of Rowe in the Strat,d still continues
to draw the admiration of the Public; indeed, the
artist appears to have been so happy in the design
and mention of this painting, as to warrant a
comparison between it, and the works of our best
Poets ; which, as they become more known, be-
come more popular—its attraaion Las been so
great, and its number of fashionable visitors so im-
mense, as to have induced the Proprietors to rc-
l?hquish the intention, for the present, of substitut-
ing another.
A few days before the Pore set off on his journey
to l'aris, his favourite and confidential Ca nn ta A r. told
him he was much troubled about a dream he had re-
speEling His I loci mess. He saw a figure descend
from the clouds, and, alighting on the carriage
which was to convey him from Rome, addr, ssed the
Pore, thus—" I once bad eight temple .. Rome,
seven are no more, the eighth is in England. If
you go to France, I leave you; if to I...ngland, I
smile on you ; and then it vanished." After a few
moments pease, " This figure," replied the Pori,
