members of the Legion of Honour who were in P.. is
solemnly took the och prescribed in the preseacc of
the Emperor.
At sic in the mornir.v the ceremony wis an-
nounced by a discharge el artillery.
The troops composing the garri.on of P.ii is, hav-
ing repaired at ten o'clock to the Pu rr d,
filed off before His Majesty, and formed a hoe
his palace to the Invalids.

Before noon, her Majesty, the Empress, wt mit
from the palace, aced crossed the garden of the
Thui'Aeries, between the lines 4.f unops. I ter lb-
tinue consisted of four carriages, one with eight
horses, and three with six. The Empress was at-
corr.partied, in her coach, b 7 the Princeks •s,
sisters, and sisters-in•law to his !tilt ie ty the F mpir.
roe. The other carriage, were hi:4.d by ladies of
the palace, the first Chamberlain, and the first
Ecuyer.
The troops presented arms, ar.d beat to arms.
The Governor of the lr.valids, and the grand
master of the ceremonies, met her Mait"4 yat the
grand porico, and condueled her to the decorated
tribune, which had been prepared f,..r her before the
Imperial throne.

At noon, his Majesty, dkilFsnperrns, antler a dis-
charge of artillery, set tart`on horseback from the
palace, preceded by marsl.als of the centre, and
followed by the Coleaels. Generals cf ha gu..rd,

back, as also the members of the great Council,
the grand ( hancellor, and the grand Treasurer of
the Legion of Honour, met at the same place, and
k their stations in the procession.
. The Cardinal, Archbishop of Paris, with his
'Clergy, received his Majesty at the door of the
'Church, and presented to him incense and holy
water: the clergy, in procession, emulated his
Majesty, under a canopy, to the Imperial Throne,
. to the music of a military march, and amid the
Vadest acclamations.
His Majesty was placed on the Throne, having
behind him the Colonels General of the guard, the
Governor of the Invalids, and the great Officers of
the Crown.
On the two sides, and on the second steps of the
Throne, were placed the Grand Dignitaries ; lower,
and to the right, the Ministers ; to the left the
Marshals of the Empire ; at the foot of the
Throne the Grand Master, and the Master of the
Ceremonies ; in froni of the Grand Master the
Grand Chancellor, and the Grand Treasurer of the
Legion of Honour. The Aides•de-Camps of the
Emperor were standing in a line, on the steps of the
Throne : on the eight‘of the Altar, the Cardinal Le.
gate was placed unoer a canopy, and in an arm
chair, which had been there placed for him. To
the left of the Altar was the Cardinal Archbishop of
Paris, with his Clergy.
Behind the altar, in an immense amphi.theatre,
were ranged 700 invalids and 200 young pupils of
the Polytechnic School.
• All the nave was occupied by the Great Officers,
Commanders, Officers, and Members of the Le-
gion of h honour.
The Grand Master of the Ceremonies, having re-
ceived the command of his Majesty, invited the
Cardinal Legate to officiate, and his Eminence
began the celebration of the mass.
After the Gospel, the Grand Master of the Ce-
remonies, having again received the orders of his
Majesty, conduEtei to the steps of the Throne, the
Grand Chancellor of the Legion of Honour.
The Grand Chancellor pronounced an eloquent

discourse on the events of this great day, on tire
miseries of political troubles, and on the gratitude
due to the her.), who, while he preserved the prin-
ciples upon which the Revolution had commenced,
had been able to terminate the calamities which fol-
lowed it. The Orator pointed out, in a str.king
manner, the daties which the institution of the
Legion of Honour imposed on all its members, and
forcibly displa)ed the numerous advantages which
roust result from this union of the most illustrious
supporters of the Government of the country.
After this discourse, the great Officers of the
Legion of Honour, being called successively by the
Grand Chancellor, approached the thror.e, and in-
dividually took the prescribed oath. •
The great officers having taken the oath, the Em-
peror covered himself, and addressing the Com.
menders, Officers, and Legionaries, pronounced in
a strong and animated voice these words :
" Commanders, ofncers, legionaries, citizens, and soldiers,
pow swear by your honour tv devote purselvei w the service
of the empire, to the I.r:serest:on of its territory in its in-
tegrity, to the defence of the Emperor, the laws of the Republic,
and she property wh..:h tiwy have consecrated, to combat, by all
the means which justice, re-son, and the LIM, authorise, every
enterprise which shall tend to restore the feudal regimen ; ba
fine, you rweir to concur with all your power to the rualnte•
. of liberty end equaluy, the first basis of sus constitution
111 the members of the Legion of Honour,
standing. and, with their hands raised, repeated at
once. I swap it The shouts of i'ioe E.,.; calm
wee, then renewed on all sides.
These last words, pronounced with the accent of a
profound energy, impressed the minds of all present
with a lively emotion, with which they long con-
tinued to be penetrated.
It is difficult to describe the sensation which this
moment produced. The monuments of French
glory suspended in the ceiling of the hall, in which
were assembled the bravest warriors; the numerous
ranks of aged and wounded soldiers, and the
youth representing the glory and hope of their
country ; lastly, the religious solemnity of the
altars concurred most powerfullyao exalt the ima-
gination, and give a presage o 1 the most glorious
duration of an Institution formed under such aus-
pices.

MASS being ended, the decorations of the Legion
were deposited at the foot of the Throne, in golden
hasons.
M. Le Segur, the Grand Master of the Ceremo-
nies, then took the two decorations of the Order,
and gave them to M. de Talkyrand, the Grand
Chamberlain. The latter presented them to his
Imperial Highness, Monseigneur Prince Louis, who
attached them to the habit of his Majesty.
New shouts of 'rive eEmprresr were then hear
several time. repeated.
The Grand Chancello7 of the Legion invited the
eat (slicers to approach the throne, to receive suc-
cessively from the hands of his Majesty, the &co-
ra:ion which the Grand Master of the Ceremonies
presented to him on a golden plate.

I.ON DON,
MONDAY, JeLY 30.

We have authority to state, that His MAJESTY
will go in the usual state. to the House of POETS to-
morrow, to prorogue the Parliament. It is con-
fidently stated, that the Rovu. Fawu.v will go
next week to Weymouth.

Yesterday we received Dublin and Waterford
Papers of the t'St.h. The Wet rford Mirror contains
the following paragraph : At break of day on
Friday, sixteen men, well mounted and armed, at-
tacked and broke open the house of dons PHILIPSt
at Ballyneety, county of Limerick, a Yeoman in the
Hon. JOUR MASSY'S corps, and robbed him of
his arms : they then proceeded to the house of
Deals Ccanciv, also a Yeoman of the sa'd
corps, and likewise plundered him of his arms."—
This is an alarm'ng circumstance.—lt shews that
the system of defenderism, t'i it preceded the rebel-
lion of 17953, has recommenced. A person sent
from Inniskiilen to Dublin, upon suspicion of being
AR INC.& O'CONNOR, on Monday last, underwent
an examination at the Castle. He proved to be an
English ger.tleman of the army, Who had been upon
a visit to some relatives in the north of Ireland. It
anpears from the English provir•.cial papers that
NltCa is, the Iri.h rebel, tor whom a large reward
has been offered by Government, is supposed to be
in the neighbourhood of Liverpool.

The Gazette of Saturday n;,;ht contains an account
of a spirited attack and bombardment upon the town
of Ilavre, by the squ tdrcn nailer the command of

appears that the town was set fire to, ar.d that the

Letters from Vienna of the II th instant, state,
that the EMPEROR and Era, am had left that ca:.i.
tal for Baden, where Their Majesties intend to res;de
for some time. Previous to their departure, ti.: y
gave an audience to a great number of the nobility,
and the members of the diplomatic corps. They
were attended on their journey only by a few select
and favourite counsellors and courtiers. Some say
Baron 'honor is in the number. The Rus;ian
Ambassador, Count R sso mOWNKI, had, previous to
their depatture, frequent conferences with Count
Co amrzst in His Majesty's presence. 'the late
spirited conduct of Austrih, in not only not acknow-
ledging BONAPARTE as an Emperor, but in keep-
ing open the deliberations of the Diet of Ratisbon,
is, probably, the result of these conferences. It is a
result grateful to loyalty-and humanity, as its object
is, in unison with Russia, to force Bo ts r•avx to
explain the motives of his conduct in vioLting the
independence of the German Empire, and thus add-
ing upon his own confession the murder of the Duke
of ENCHIEN to thr calendar of his crimes.—At
Vienna, the French' Minister is shunned by all the
diplomatic agents, except those Lif Prussia and Spain,.
and the Russian Ambassador has declined to re-
turn his repeated visits. Since the. departure of.
Count Mutt:ore from Paris, the Russian Ministers
at the several contim.ntal courts have been ordered
to drop all intimacy and connection with the diplo-
matic agents of BONAPARTE, On the 9th instant,
a Courier from Constantinople arrived at s ienna,
with intvlligonce that, notwithstanding the repre-
sentations of General BRVNE, 6000 more troops had
arrived from the Black Sea, and sailed for the Me-
diterranean.—The same couriers brought letters
from Turkey, which state, that the numbers of
Russian troops collected and encamped at Odossa
and its environs, amount to 80,000 men, the
greater part of them destined, as man as trans-
posts can be procured, for the Seven Island;, and
the island of Sardinia, to watch the motions of
France in the Mediterranean. We some time since
stated errhisierl", that the Emperor of Rossi A had
offered Louts XVIII. as King of France and Na.
vane, an asylum in his Empire, worthy c.f the
rank, virtues, and unmerited misfortunes of His
Most Christian Majesty. If letters brought by the
Hamburgh Mail of Saturday may be relied upon,
this liberal hfftr has been accepted, and Lott'
XVIII. has alleady left Warsaw ; a place that roust
be odious to His Majesty, since the date of the in-
sulting proposal made by the King of PRUSSIA, on
the part of the Corsican Adventurer and Usurper,
BON SPACTE. Letters from Berlin, of the 17th,
confidently assert, that the Russian Courier, who
passed through that city upon the I Ith, carried to
Paris the ultimatum of the RUSSIAN MONARCH, and
that BONAPARTCS answer will decide, wh:ther or
not Russia shall be involved in immediate hostility
with France. An Official Declaration is shortly ex-
pelled to make its appearance, which will fully ex-
plain tie disposition of the Northern Courts with
iesped to Louts XVIII. and BONA PAR ra.
