THE POPE.

The Cardinals, who are to come here with the
Pope, are to be lodged in the hotels of our different
Ministers. The right wing of the palace of the
Thuilleries, with the apartment occupied formerly
by his Highness the Arch• Treasurer, Le Brun, are
preparing for his Holiness. They will be entirely
new furnished. One of the small saloons will be
converted into a private chapel. During his Hob-
ness's stay, he will be served from the Imperial
kitchens, and have a table with as many covers as
he shall demand. The Insperi si prefe.lc of the
palace, ehantb,Tlains, and maitre. d'hote/, are to
attend and obey all his Italinest's commands. A
guard of honour of 100 men will do duty daily in
the apartments of his Holiness, who, when he goes
any where, is to he escorted by fifty of the guides on
horseback, of the Imperial guard. It is said th.st
the Sacred College has made some objeaions to his
Holiness's residence in a palace where the infidels,
the Mahometan Mamelakes, do duty ; and that the
Emper.sr, with that deliette retpert which his Ma-
jesty alutotyt has shewn to the religious scruples of
timid consciences, has given order that this corps
of his body guard shall be sent to Fontainbleau,
during the Poye's stay in France, or, at least, as
long as he is at Paris. Some member of the clergy
is ordered to Paris, from every diocese of the em-
pire, to be present at the coronation, and to receive
the blessings of the sovereign Pontiff, who, after
the coronation ceremony, will give his Is:mesh:lion
in the Chapel of the Invalids, and consecrate the
new colours of all the regiments of the Imperial
army. His holiness has promised to offi iAte pon-
tifically in all the churches of the capital by turns,
and they vial all be presented with some precious
relics, or other curious articles, which he brings with
him from Rome ; these former remnants of saints,
being unfortunately and sacrilegiously burnt, de-
stoyed, or dispersed, by the worshippers of the
Goddess of Reason, or by the fanatic theophilan-
thropists, during a), anarchy under Robespierre said
the Directory. It continues to be reported, that a
general council of the Gallivan Church will be as-
sembled during his Holiness's residence in France,
of which he will be the president. Hitherto, how-
ever, the Minister of Worship has not issued any
convocation for such a council; probal,ly every.
thing is not yet settled with his Holiness on this
po:..t so necessary for the quiet of consciences.—

LOIN DON,
MONDAY. OCTOBV4 22.

La Medea and La Chard, two of the Spanish fri•
gates, captured off Cape St. Mary, near Cadiz, arrived
at Plymouth, on Friday last. Property to the
amount of 1,000,000 of dollars has been found on
board of them, besides much valuable merchandise.
Both of these frigates suffered a considerable loss
in killed and wounded, and were much damaged
in their hulls and rigging, before they struck.—
Of the crew of the M.rccdes, the frigate that blew up,
consisting of 500 men, only 90 were saved. Among
those that perished were, the Captain, his wife,
and sevenchildrea. La Fame, the remaining frigate
of the Spanish squadron, owing to contrary wind,
and the difficulty of getting up her anchors, was not
brought into Portsmouth harbour until Saturday.
She has on board 50,000 dollars, said to be private
property, besides a valuable cargo of merchandise.
Until our differences with Spain are brought to an
issue, the Spanish officers are to be at full liberty to
go to any convenient town on their parole ; and the
seamen are not to be considered as prisoners of war,
but are to have the same indulgence as our own
people. It is now evident that the capture of the
Spanish squadron is not a solitary case, but part of
a new system of energy and decision adopted by our
Government. Several outward-bound Spanish ves-
sels have been detained at Cowes, and in the river.

Great and unusual staivity are said to prevail in our
' naval as well as military departments. Several more
ships are reported to have been put in commis ion, and
some additional regiments are about to be raised.
Every encouragement will be given to complete the
old regiments, and the second battalions already
ordered. We have heard that a plan has been laid
before Ministers, by some of our first military cha-
nnel.% and is now under consideration ; according
to which, instead of the often hazardous and always
uncertain capture of Spanish treasures on the main,
an expedition is proposed immetlately to be fitted
out, sufficient to conquer those provinces from which
Spain draws her wealth, and by it deprive 80, A-
ARIZ of one of his principal resources for paying
those banditti, who protea his usurpation, and to
whom, in return, he promises proteaion and universal
plunder ; who hare already laid waste the Continent,
and are now threatening our shores with their polluted
presence. In case this plan meets with approbati n,
a nearer alliance with the American State. is said to
be intended, to afford them, as well AS Great Bri-
tain, an opportunity to avenge those insults and
provocations of the Court of Madrid, known to be
the consequences of the diaates of the Revolu-
tionary Court of St. Cloud, which would cease
to tyrannise in Europe, did it not keep all the world
in continual agitation by its dared plots and preten-
sions, or by its indirea influence.

After a passage of eleven days. Louis XVIII. the
Duke of ANGOULUE and suite, landed on the 2tith
ult. at Calmar. from which city letters were received
in town last Saturday of the 29th ult. They speak of
the highly honourablereeeption His Most Cm ILIST I A
MAJLSTY met with, the King of Swama having
carried his generous and delicate attention so far as
to order persons of his own household to wait upon
him, and the same hiinours to be shewn to him, as if
he were already seated upon the throne of his dares-
tors. At landing, His M,.1 [ST Y was saluted by
all the artillery on the ramparts, and the Swedish
Governor of the Province and City of Calmar ad-
dressed Ilk MAJZSI Y 11?.011 in these words:

" Staa—:)n the part, aad by :ha centrum.' ut my Gracious
S.tvercego, I have the hoarser to evm.,hatent your Nl,,esty.

and ray leave filweden to woad thee rune of your Maje.ty's
att:esters 111 France."

The Governor then presented the Colonel and
Officers of the Regiment of Jonkopin, ordered to do
duty u guards of honour to the King of Fa A vet.
Ile afters,/ irds introduced the Bishop of the Dio.
efse of Cairn sr. who presented eke members of the

A private letter from 1 (=burgh, of the 9th itht,
states, as a common report in the pali:ical circles of
that city, that RONA r•ar t has made new overtures,
not only for arranging the differences between France
and Russia, but for a general pacifi:Ation, h:. a r..
newal of his former plan, for assembling a Congr,,,
At I lamburgh, in the course of the wirer.
Cie principal reason why several of the f nc •.1
bassadors in France were ordered to Ai x.!.5.0
from which the Austrian Minister, Coont de Co.
assrzi:t., and the Prussian Minister, Marquis Lt.
cassia, sent couriers to their respe&ive Courts.
These proposals have been also transmitted to St.
Petersburgh ; but as to England, Boma emi
will not coasent to the reception of a Br;siib
negociator at the proposed Congress, unless
land shall previously agree to al arrn;stice
Europe, and, of course, to raise the blockade ot
the French ports.—This proposition is evidently
mere intrigue to 101 l the Continent into a fatal secu.
rity, and corresponds with Box AP ARTI'S old polity
to persuade the world that he wishes for pelco,
while every enlightened politician well knows, that
war is necessary to the safety of the Usurper, and
the permanence of his usurpation.

An absurd paragraph appeared in a morning parer
of Saturday, pretending to be the answer of the Kn.;
of PRUSSIA to the letter delivered from the Kin:
of Swept'', by General Baron ARSIFELD, in the
latter end of September. The King of Pai
could not, as the answer imports, be ignorant of bur
amount of the respeetive forces of Swelen
France in Hanover and Pomerania. It is imontr-
ble that he should desire t'4 King of Swro!...
with his 5000 men in Pomerania, nit to t•:rr.,:et
the French force of 30,000 marauders in Hal-
over. Such a caution, whether as a reque:a r
a command, would be rti.li. ulous. Be.ides, w.re
the King of SS% EoLs desperate enough to much
with a handful of men against su:h a nume-
rous foe, he would be obliged to vi 'late the
neutral territories of Prussia and Mecklen-
burgh Schwerin, before he could reach Hatt-
over. The reverse of the stateroom to which
We allude, is the faCt. BONAPARTE, with his
camp near Looenburgh, threatens I lolstein, Meck-
lenhurgh, and Swedish Pomerania. The ques-
tion put by the King of Stet foto was, whether
the King of PRUSSI s would suffer the tzanquilii:y
of the North of Germany to be disturbed by any
attempt of the French upon the Swedish P:uviree ?
had the answer, as might be eapeded from Prus-
sian policy, stated generally, that His Mslur•r
would oppose all attempts for that purpose.

Two Flamburgh Mails arrived on Saturday v. it!i
letters and papers to the 10th. The Kiugof Fr ANC E
and the Duke of Amoon (Ant landed the 25th At
Calmar, in Sweden, and were received with ail the
honours due to their rank. An article from Hart-
burgh, ti the 9th, says, there is a hope that the
differences between France and Russia will he Ami-
cable settled, through the mediation of a :;•r-i:
power, meaning, no doubt, Prussia.

Mr. SAVr a, one of His Majesty's Messengers, svll
lately arrived in town with dispatches from
JACKSON. at Berlin, returned on Saturday for
above place, with Goverment dispatches, for Mt.
Jacasolll, which are said to be of great importance.
Mr. Row, the King's Nlessenger, set off on
Saturday with Government dispatches, for the lion.

DIU:RV-LAVE.

A new Musical Far-e. called The Dash
hut lle `) was on Saturday night performed at this
Theatre. The Onetime, which, as well as the rest
of the mosic, is from thdpen of Mr. &rave, pos-
sesses .en high degree of„pserit, and seemed to pre-
dispose the audience to give the piece itself a fa-
yourablzi To attempt a tt miption of
this literary abortion would be ridi ,Irius. It has
neither plot nor incideot, and is equally divested of
point, sentiment, and humour. During almost the
whole or the firs: Al, the Play stands still, whilst a
Yorkshire, a French. and Irish servant retail a va•
r;et Fof clumsy and thread-bare jokes. An at-
tempt to ridicule the fair Yorkshire equestrian
is the principal feature of the Second Aft. In this
kiss Di CAMP. as the Wirsiss Daah, smacked her
whip, and described the pleasures of hot se-
racing, hunting, Str. in almost the very worais of
addfinch, in 7he Road to Ruin. The disapproba-
tion of the audience, which had manifested itself
eatly in the second scene, encreased with the pro-
,sress of the piece, beyond controul, and the curtain
;:ropped amidst general hisses. Neither the vivaci:y
01 Miss 1)e CAMP, the sweetness of Mrs. MOVN..
nor the thrilling notes of Mrs. BLAND, could
save .t pirce,which was equally marked by imbecility
,a design and feebleness of esectrion- It is a y bat
so touch good mucic And theatrical talents suould
have been lost upon so bad a subjca.

IV. was the attractive Piece at this Theatre on Sa-

turday night. M. Kest at. e, in the charaeler of
Holepur, drew many tributes of well-merited ap-
p:allse. In his appeal to the King, he was particu-
larly impressive, as well as in his interview with
Laity Percy, ‘s'lL, %%As well represented by Miss
WaDDY. . COOK E, aS Sir John Fa :tali; pour-
ayed the crafty Knight in admirable style. In his
account of the robbery to the Prince of Watts, and
in the subsequent part of the scene, he chewed his
pawers in this line of ailing, with the happiest effelt,
and received much applause. The part of Mero
the Fourth was well sustained by Mr. Wawa v.
Mr H. SiDoots did not give such interest to the
Ponce of Writes as that charader is capable of pro-
ducing, and was very deficient in marking the
Prince's dignified transition to greatness. There was
a striking contrast between the animation of Hotspur,
and the tameness of young henry. The piece, on
the whole, was well performed, and warmly re-
ceived, by a crowded and fashionable audience.
The musical farce of Ilar,:t.,rd Bridge foilowed,
in which Mr. IscitooN, in the character of Capt.
Fieidear,gained much applause in theadrnired song of
Pirating the Lewd. Mr. Mu et o EN, as PeregrileFor, Pitt r,
and Mr. EM ICY, as .fir George, were severally en-
cored in their songs. The parts of Cia-a and Soma
were well sustained by Mrs. Ancins and Mrs.
