PARIS, rce. 18.
It appears that the stay of the Prussian Minister
of St.tte, Count Hangwitz, at Paris, will be much
longer than was imagined. The Prussian Minister,
the Marquis Lucchesini, set out for Bolin the day
before yesterday. It is thought that llis Excellency
will return in three weeks.

The Emperor went last Thursday to the Pan-
theon, minutely inspected every part of it, and in--
dered the works to be continued with dispatch. 'His
Majesty has further direeted, that this edifice shall
be restored to the Catholic worship, by its old ap-
pellation of St. Genevieve the Patroness of Paris.
To this place will be removed all the monuments
which formerly decorated the different suppressed
churches, and which arc deposited in the Museum
of the street Des Petits Augustins. This church will
be set apart as a place of interment for all those
Frenchmen who shall have deserved well of their
country, in any career whatever. The Emp-i or has
likewise directed, that the church of St. Denis shall
henceforth be the place of interment of the French
Princes.

I he day before yesterday, Sunday, the Parisians
enjoyed a spetlacle, of which they had been de-

Army. It was that of a grand per tJe in the
Court of the Thuilleries, and the Place du Ca: ousel.
This exercise, at which the Emperor presided, was
one of the must beautiful and brilliant of the kind
that has been seen for a long time. The moment
the Monarch appeared, he was saluted by the most
animated acclamations of an immense mulritude of
spedatnrs, attract d by the desire to see the con-
queror of Austerlitz. His Majesty, mounted on a
grey charger, superbly caparisoned, rode through
the ranks of all the troops which have recent.
ly arrived at Paris. He received horn a great
number of persons, memorials and petitions ad-
dressed by them to the Chief of the State. White
the Emperor was attending to the citizans who
had favours to ask of him, one of his Aides-
de-Camp rode through the place, and received
the memorials of those who could sot ap-
proach His Majesty. The Emperor wore the grand
cordon of the Order of the Iron Crown ; he had, the
Same morning, distributed several grand crosses of

Marescalchi and Aldini, residing at Paris, as Mi-
nister of Eater for Relations, and Secretary of Bute
of the above-rrftntioned kirgdern, are Grand Chan-
cellor and Grand 'Treasurer. When the review
WAS ov.r, the acclamations which Lad welcomed
the Emperor on his arrival, accompanied him to iris
palace. After the parade, the Emperor gave a [sli-
ver, audience to M. de Cetto, ci-devant Ministet of
the Eiet.tor Treatise of Bavaria, who presented his
credentials in quality of Minister of the King of
' Bavaria. The whole (arts dridenia'squc was then
admitted to an audience of His Majesty, with the
usual ceremonies. Most of the Foreign Ministers,
who are now at Paris, presented, on chi:: occasion,
several distinguished rersors of their tespective na-
tions. to the Emperor. Among others, those pie-
I rented by M. Brairthen, the batavian Arinister,

were particular:) noticed. Thee were, Admiral
Vet hue!, a: the head of the Marine Department at

mission ; M. Zuiler van Ny veld, attached to the
Legation; and M. Brugmans, Professor of the
University of Leyden, andiDiretior-Gencral of the
Military Hospitals of Holland. In the evening of
the same day, the Minister of the Marine gave an
exceedingly splendid ball, Which the Empress ho-
noured with her presence.
The pnblic curiosity was, however, soon diverted
from these subjeas, by others of still gteater ims
pot tance.
Last night, during the performance of the first
ad of Racine's tragedy of Atha.'id, at the Thiatee
Francois, which was honoured by the presence of
the Emperor, His Majesty received dispatches from
Italy. At the conclusion of the eel, one of the
performers came forward, by order of His Majesty,
and announced to the audience, that the French
Army had entered Naples, and occupied all the forts
of that city. as well as all the principal fortresses in
the kingdom, and that the Neapolitan army were
prisoners of war.
This communication was received with an enthu-
siasm impossible to be described. The presence of
the Emperor caused the shouts of applause to he
incessant, so applicable to His Majesty's reign was
a passage which had just before hero repeated—
" Eh, quel him jet jamois plus fertile en miracles V"—
What age was ever more fertile in miracles ? The
important intelligence of this new success of the
Imperial Arms was rapidly circulated, and, to-day,
we have all the details. The French Army had
only to appear and begin the attack, when the
whole country submitted to its new destiny, which
will cause it to pass under the domination of one or
the branches of the Imperial Family, who will suc-
ceed the present dynasty in the government of the
two Sicilies. The following are the official parti-
culars :
Prince Joseph Napoleon writes to His Majesty,
from the head quarters at ('apua, the 14th of Fe-
bruary, armearricing, that his orders have been ful-
filled. He states, that he divided his army into
three bodies, and marched with the centre division,
under the command of Marshal Massena, through
Stn Germano and Capua, while the right, under
Geuerai Regnier, went by lerracina and Gaeta ;
and the left, consisting of a corps of Italians, under
General Let chi, proceeded by way of Iti i. '
General Regni.ir, on arriving at Gaeta, sent to
the Ponce of Hesse, who commanded that place,

On the ('Soh of February, the 'centre division in-
vested Capua, which answered the summons by a
cinch*, ge of its artillery. On the 13th, in the morn-
ing, a deputationfrom the city of Naples waited on
the Prince, and signed the surrender of Gaeta,
Capua, Pescara, Naples, and the other torts. (See
the annexed papers, B. C. D. E.)
General Partounaux has entered Naples: the
forts were immediately occupied; and on the 1!) h,
Prince Joseph set off for the city. The NcJp,ditau

appointed M. Pignatellt to be colonel of die fir st re-
giment of Neapolitan light intnntry.
Prince Joseph has been at Caserta : the buildings
appeared very beautitul and magnificent. The
people of Naples, as wino as they had recovered
from their first alarm, manifested great attachment
to the French, and the utmost detestation of the
English. That nation is treated as it deserves to be,
All over the Continent.

His Majesty, the Emperor, was attending the
representation of ilthnlit, when he received the in-
telligsnce of the entry of ha army into Naples. He
slireiled General Moreton, the Aide-&-camp in
waiting, to cause this news, and the punishment cf
the perjury of the Queen of Naples, to be an-
nounced by Talma, at the conclusion of the first aft.
The leaden seeptse of the Queen of Naples, that
modern has just been broken for ever ; and
the finest country in the wmld will henceforth be
under a lirm and liberal Government. The
Emperor will revive the kini:dorn of Naples
under a Fiench Prince, but he will restore
it on the basis of the laws, on the interests
of the people, and on the great principle, teat
the existence of the Throne, the splendour and
power with which Sovereigns are invested, the p-r-
-peruity of hereditary possession, are institutirms
formed for the service and the organization of the
people. All Europe will behold, with satishation,
the expu4ion from the throne of a Queen who has
so grossly abused the sovereign authority ; whose
every step has been marked with revolutions, with
perjuries, and blood. She is as much hated and
despised at Vienna, as she is hated and de-
spited at Naples. But her name is already con-
signed to history, for the new kingdom of Naples

scarcely equivalent to the occupation of the thrones
of Naples and of Spain by French Princes of the
th•rd dynasty.
With regard to the kingdom of Naples, the least
of its advantages will be, that it will enjoy laxity
of commerce, and no longer be subject to the pi-
racies of the Algerines; but, the fist, and mot
natural of all, wail be this, that it will no longer be
liable to be made the tlwatre of war, but be f..,vertt.
ed by fixed principles, in conformity with the hap.
piness and interest of the people, and not by fatious
and insensate passions.

It is to the credit of the Neap°lit in nation, that s
the principal agents who h toe caused the subver-
sion of the throne, were Tuscans and foreigners.
It is well known, that M. Alton silts an Lnglis,h_
man by descent, and by inclination ; that he had
secured his property in England, and that he never
judged of the interests of Naples, but by the into.
rest of England.
We may affirm, without pretending to be prophets,
that that House, which shall again sacrifice the
top ise, the interest, the happiness of the Contineii,
to the caprices and the guineas of those greedy
and insatiable speculatias, will lose its thitm
amid the general applause of all the nation; of the
Continent, and of our whole generation ; which,
alto having been so long agitated, has at length
occasion for peace and tranquillity, and which CAR
no longer be deluded with empty words.
