FORETCY INTELLIGENCE.

FROM THE PARIS PAPERS.

PARIS. SEPT: .18.

They write from Aix-la-Chapelle as follows—
.. Before the Emperor blessed us with his august
i-reiernce, the stories. ci ciliated both at Paris and in
the Provinces, anneerning his MAjesty's he .Ith, cam-
ee us here marry unhappy moments, altheugh we
heard no hing Iron-settee° is' but what was consoling;
hat on seeing his Majesty's face, it is impessiele to
feel any longer the kw anxiety. Health is as vi-
sible in his neasle countenance, as grandeur of soul,
more than of stat:ott, in all his ,t ions. Nature des-
tined hint to rule over mankind with the same gene-
rosity as he governs his passin s. Hi s Majesty's conde-
scension and affability have gained all hearts, even
those that before were averse to his d;gnity. from
envy or prejudice. In the Monarch if the French
we .do not see that haw: that stiffness ( roideur
that formal etiquette, sehall commands the admire-
tion of fools arid the tespec i of slaves; Napoleon the
First is nature het self. Reigning over epee people,
with the free choice of thirty millions of
.feeemi re his
manner% as well as his language, are equally easy
and graceful; and if. as must be natural, many
approach with a kind of fear, Me greatest ma"
*pen rorth, or ever bn,i, upon e.:r'h, all leave him
with setisfaclion. accompe-iiel with one single re-
gret, that they all are not destined to be blessed with
his presence every day, every hour, nay every
minute of their lives. All pereons, who have been
honoured with five minutes convetsation with his
Majesty, are convinced, that were he to travel over
the universe, and all nations in the universe had the
liberty to sled their Sovereigns, Napoleon the First
would soon he the Emperor of the universe ! As to
his Majesty's august ('ousort, our beloved Empress. at
hest the waters did not agree with her, and she was
even ill ; but no sooner was that known, than all nee
churches were crowded withchieful subjeds, implor-
ing the Atm eirty topreserve a health so neressary for
the happiness of the political saviour of the world,
and for the glory of France. [heir prayers were not
ineffedual. Her Majesty soon recovered her former
health and beauty, and we are now offering thanks
in the same temples, where her Majesty Joins us
with a devotion edifying beyond any language
to express. Tea-s of joy are in all eyes in see
ing the first of Sovereigns, the Consort of modern
Charlemagne, kneeling before the sacred shrine
of Charterer ire the First, and with the most fer-
vent pray' e s demanding blessings of this sainted
Severeige upon Naoeleen the First, the only Prince
whom s.i many aces have produced as worthy to
nice, him. In fad, between the death of Cliar-
lern.l.ple and the proclamation of Napoleon the
Fir at, the French empire, and all Europe itself, have
experienced an inglorious ioterregnuni ; and genera-
tions have been born and died without admiring a
tidy great man." --(Courier de Liege.)
CORONATION PREPARATIONS.
The grand and numerous fetes which will accom-
pany the coronation of our Emperor, are the com-
mon topics of conversation of all classes of people.
It is surprised that Paris, on that occasion, will con-
tain no It s than three millions of strangers, if it he
true, as generally reported, that apartments Are al-
ready hired for two millions of persons, of both
vexes, of whom 200,n00 are said to be foreigners.
Those in confidence of Government say, the two
Kings, and ten other inferior Sovereign Prioces,
will assist at this august ceremony; and, it pie-ewe,
snake it more splendid. I hat day will tepee all the
losses the Parisiasis have experienced for these lest
sieteen years ; and even the lowest Parisam me-
chanic, if selver and iedustrinus, may coiled a hind-
sone., sum treserds future independence. re A er/e-
-iatoehirel oriservei, nothing is more enterei • g than
to see the activity that reigns every where, and
which causes all branches rf industry to fleurish,
from the rich jeweller's niagazines, down or, the
where woollen or silk garters. or wooden shoes
( weer) Are made. But it is particularly among our
ntO liners, where ail heads rue busy tn I ()Wive and all
heeds occupied to compeer whet it is supposed will
mest please the soinserous so angels exoceliel here.--
Houses of six stories, iii the Rue sr. Honore, are
ern,: ed already with gmens, bonnets, shawls.
IrAnekerehiets,caprees, &c. &e. ; and we have heard,
ties- the amiable and fashinitAble Madame Le Moine
he• red three Loge iiouses, and, to tier fifty ap-
prent ,:es, or %Yorke/rotten (.uiriots), has added sn
mere errls, from I eerie, Marseilles, Bordeaux, and
Stiasburoh. Her hinise. cu the Boulevard, is daily
'unneeded with a crowd of speCtetors, admit ing the
rumesoes and earious produdions of her taste and
ingenuity, her intezetive genius, and graceful per-
tormenc c. Sn ceir.4l:l are our merchants and t raaes-
men of pro table customer% that a jeweller, on the
Quay d'Orfevre, has bought diamonds ho one mil-
lion twee hundred thousand livrere 5e,0001 ; and
mortgaged, for fine months, his house in town,
and two estates in the country, at the interest of six
per cent. in the mec'h, to pay for them. Any body,
vi.rting our coachmakers, may ci cent, from the
R .e : t. Antoine, to the Place of Cermet, only in
passing along the Bou!evards, twelve hundred new
coaches, neerly finished ; and, ft is known, that
double that nt.rr,b,,:- b.i. been bespoken at Brussels,
tit the famous c05....-Ineker, Sinsole. In the Ely-
sian Fields, we e..-r.ted, last SAttirtlao, sixty-sit
temporary • mnder ho •see, that were ercai.l.rz, in-
tendei only for balls; and, on the Boulevard Neuve,
from Rue fie VAirgeraol, to Jardin des Mantes, are
Kfty-four buildiegs ter the ogee purpose. Two
thousand three hundred and five petitions have al-
ready been presented to the Prete& of Police, for
obtaining licences to open new coke-houses : and,
in the raleis Royal Al roc, twenty-tive new RestAu-
ratenrs have opened Looses, within this footieght.
Eighteen 'v Theatres are already permitted to
solar, in addition to the former ones, from the Ist
of Neve-Mier, until the Carnival is over. We have
heard, that several hundred petitions h e been
presented, requesting permission to keep gambling-
histaae. but hitherto only forty-four are said to have
succeeded. Of National Guards, from All the Ml-
ferent departments, forty-three thousand are ex-
pelled ; to lodge these, AS well as the thousands of
other strangers. who, with difficulty, wed and ac-
cornmedation, it has been proposed to ermined
temreetry batter cc, near the different ban ins, sui-
ficient for 500.0 Gr) persons to sleep in, at the ezpence
of Government ; and it is said, that this plan has
•litaincii the approbation of the Emperor. To pre-

vent, as much as possible, all accidents, which may
be caused by such a concourse of people, a regulation
nt the Police is in the Press, according to which, no
person, of either sex, Frenchman or Foreigner,
under pain of imprisonment, must walk, either day
or night, without his pass, ur card of citizen, or hos-
pitality, in his pecket, or refuse to show it to the
patroles, or to the police agents, who will be aug-
mented by fourteen hundred, from the Police Of-
fices in the provinces. According to the Registers
of the Folice, the ladies of easy virtue at Paris
have already received an augmentation of several
thousands, among whom are counted, Spaniards,
Italians, Swiss, German, And Dutch ; and the water
and land-carria,...e . daily import more of this frail
commodity mowliandisr). Nothing but Vsvc la
joie; is the order of the day, in preparing for a ce-
remony, w!Och will heal the w. unds of all French
Patriots.---(Jourhal des .Speelactes).

The great utility of the Senatorial Committee.
which inspeas that part of our happy constitution
guarantying the libert4 1-f Me preen, is evident from
Its numerous labours, from its assiduity to revise,
and from its liberality to guide authors, who really
are men of talents and genius. Not only the cor-
rect:on* of the enlightened members of this commit-
tee have improved their publications, but they have
rewarded their industry, abilities, and patriotism. by
recommending them to honourable and profitable
places under government ; and genius and 'Amor
will not in future in France starve in obscurity in
garrets, or die from want in the streets, or from
misery in the hospitals. They may aspire to the
first places in the state, while the dull, indolent, or
stupid rich may pride himself upon his affluence,
but has no hope to usurp rank or purchase distinc-
dons ; and the man, whom he but lately regarded
' with contempt on account of his poverty. he will be
forced to respea on account of his elevation, ob-
tained by merit. This liberality, or rather jastice,
is recipro.:ally advantageous to government and to
men of letters ; because, in return for its protection,
the former is always cei Lain of the support of the
latter. We have heard that, within these last three
months, upon the recommendation of the Senatorial
Committee, sixteen aiithors have been rewarded
with employments by the Emperor, and arc now
comfortably settled. Ot works presented to its
approbation or revisal, twenty-five, which treat on
politics, have been approved, and thirty-six rejeited
as dangerous or absurd. Five historical publica-
tions have been approved, three are under cons der-
ation, and nine have been rejetted. Of poems,
comedies, tragedies, dramas, &c. nineteen have been
permitted to he printed, sixteen arc under consi-
deration, and fifty-five have been rejected. On phi-
losophy, twelve produCtions have been presented, of
which eight have been approved, and four are
under revisal. On natural hi,tory, on botany,
anatomy, and other sciences, ten have been pre.
sensed and approved. On religious subjeds, no less
than thirty works have been presented, of which
only six have been approved, the others continue
still under scrutiny. In a time of schism, the child
of revolutionary atheism or infidelity, government
thinks it cannot be vies stria in adtniuing to the
knowledge of the faithful, and to the meditation
of all seas, opinion', or thoughts, either fanatical
or exaggerated, either sophistical or problematical,
which 'meow age indifference, or preach intolerance.
Let all authors, oho %odic nn religious subjecis,
remember, that the Catholic religion is the religion
of the State ; and that its atipist chief, its visible
head upon earth, the Sovereign Pontiff, will soon
arrive in France, not only to perform the
gems of ceremonies, but to quiet consciences, by
dispersing that schism, which deprives so many of
their hope and tranquillity, of a peace upon earth,
and as Heaven 'mealier. What would his HoIi•
ness think, were he, at his arrival, to find France
inundated with honks and pamphlets, throwing out
doubts nn, or insulting, every thing %%ha is sacred;
which has constituted the happiness of former gene-
rations, in the belief of which our ancestors lived
and died, and tier which they fought in the field,
and bled upon the scaffold ? Government, with its
usual generosity, tolerates all religions and all seas;
lets Jews pray in their synagogues ; the Islusselmeu
prostrate themselves in their mosques; the Protest-
ants sing in their temples; but not attempt to ridi-
cule each odic-, or unite together to rid:cn!e the
title believer>, tix Remain Catih•hcs; such aa,, not-
withstanding it. Government will be ob-
liged severely to pitnish, as intended to cause hatred
and disturbances. The Committee of the Weil!, of
Pees, to which authors may send their produc-
tions, continues always to sit in the Police Office,
under die Presidency of the Minister of the General
Senator Fouche, and Messrs. Lemontey,
La Cretelle, the younger, and I /esfaticher etz ; three
men of letters are still attached to it.—(Le Ducail,

THE BRITISH Ptt ES&

LOX DON,
MONDAY, Ocroesit 1.

No intelligence has been received from the Con-
tinent tincc Friday. We have, therefore, resumed
our estracts from the small French Papers to the
19th, of which we are e lausitely in possessitai. We
have also seen several Dutch letters, received by
tho last Mail from Husum. One of them, which
is dats'd Iligue 19th last, contains some interesting
particulars.—lt says, " Botta, A NT L. has lung me-
ditated to change the Rotarian Government, being
dissatisfied with most of its Members. At one time,
it was supposed that he meant to make his favour.
Vesueer. and SCHlVlScLremssicK. its Chief
Magistrates, with the title of Consuls. At another
time it was supposed, he intended to settle his bro-
ther Louis ;n Holland as Stadtholder. The pre-
vailing opinion, at present, is, that he has entered
into an agreement with Prassia, to bestow upon the
reditary Prince of Of ANC; e, the brother-m-law
to
the Prussian Monarch, the sovereignty over the Rota-
rian Re:sublic rads, the protetiGn of the French cm
Aire." 'l 1.-rq plan is said to be the subject of the

late deliberations and cotifereiices at the Hague and
in-la-Chapelle, at which the Prussian agents always
Attended with the French and Batavian Ambassa-
dors. Should such a change take place, it is almost
superfinotts to observe, that the sovereignty of the
young Prince of Ouance will be a revolutionary
usurpation during the life of his father.

It is said that the King of SwEoss has made
an overture to our Court for an offensive and de-
fensive alliance, and offered to augment his army
by twenty new regiments, and to increase his navy
in the same proportion. Should the proposal be
accepted and carried into effect, it will be fol-
lowed. of course, by a subsidy. From the state of
our relations with Russia, it is not probable that our
Court will come to a final determination, without
having previously consulted that power upon the
subjea. In the mean time, however, it is said,
that orders li tee been sent to our cruisers to proti.d
the Swedish trade. Mr. PIERREPOINTp our Minister
to the King of SwLot.N, has received orders to re-
turn to his post. The accounts by the last Ham-
burgh Mail stated, that he was at Stralsund, wait-
ing the arrival of Their SWEDISH MaJasrtes.

Letters were received on Saturday from the ulna-
drou off the Toad, brought home by the Argo.
which on Friday arrived at Sheerness —Our ships
had rode out the late severe gales without any ma-
terial damage, but some of the enemy's vessels
were onset red on shore—they had not *hewn any
fresh indications of putting to sea.
At the Conl t, at Weymouth, on the t2Oth Sep-
tember, present the Most Excellent Majesty
in Council ; llis Royal Highness the Duke of
SessEX was, ny His MAJESTY'S command, in-
troduced into the Privy Coui;cil, and His Royal
Highness took his place at the Board, on Ilis M.t•
ar.sz v's right hand.
We have authority to state, that the Spanish Mi-
nister, his Excellency Le Chevalier D'Autsuat“,
will grant passports to vessels loaded with grain,
for the ports of Spain, if the merchants should con-
ceive such protections necessary for the security of
their property, at present; and we are desired to
contradict the reports which have appeared in the
newspapers, contrary to this statement.
The Right Hon. GLOR.E. Rost; is returned to
serve for the Borough of Christchurch.
The lhrio Eticalreih, %V cit.l3 A N., from Stettin
for London, is lost on the coast of Norway.
The S a/ft, Fo a cm AN, from London for the Baltic,
foundered in the North Sea on the '2 tsh ult.
The Willmington, Wocrow a III), tram Philadelphia
fur Rotterdam, is wrecked on the co ant at Zealand.
No accounts appear its the French Papers of the
action with the Airier which private ac-
couittx state to have Listed twenty minutes, and to
have been attended with considerable loss on our
side. - _ _

There was a report on Saturday that the French
were in possession of the letters from India, on
board the Althea, and they intended to publish
tkem in the Monittur ; but we do not find any
foundation for such a report.
Toe 4lthen, Country ship, taken in India, was
00 tons burthen, and consigned to the house of
Messrs. Git.t.sr and Enwa ans.

The Admiral Rainier, Another Country ship,
stated by the French Papers to he captured in
India, is 820 tons burthen, and was the property
of Messrs. Las( and Green.

The transport, Georje, with provisions for Gib-
raltar, dropped down on Saturday for :ravesend, to
