P R TVA 7 E CORRESPONDENCE.

HA(WE, MAY .17.

Wednesday sennight, the day on which our
Grand Pensionary, Schimmelpenninck, took the
oaths, was a day of great pomp, though of little joy
and pleasure in this city. Several Members of the
Dipomatique Carr, as also several superior Officers,
in the land aad sea service, assembled in the Hall
destined for their High Mightinesses. Precisely
at 12 o'clock, General Marmont arrived, preceded
by two chasseurs of the Bth Regiment, and sur-
rounded by Aides-de•Ca'np, Generals of both nations,
Commissaries, Officers of %larine, Bcc. The pro-
cession, which presented the most brilliant appear-
ance, was closed by a strong detachment of the Bth
regiment of chasseurs, and a detachment of hus-
sars. The Grand Pensionary wore a short habit of
black silk ; and over it, a mantle of dark-coloured
silk, lined with white satin, which reached to the
calves of his legs. It was exattly the costume worn
by the famous Grand Pensionary, Jan De \Vitt,
who was murdered in the troubles which took place

about 130 years ago, by the citisens of this place.
The dress was made after an original painting of
Jan de Witt, by one of the best masters. His Ex-
cellency was decorated, besides, with the Grand
Cordon of the Legine of Honour, and a chain of
gold, to which was suspended a Medal of State.
He wore a hat, • ?unique, surmounted with a plume
of white feathers, a rta round his neck, and a
scarf. His domestics wo:e the Arms of the State
upon the left shoui'ler, and upon their coat-buttons.
General Marmont and his Lady repaired at half
past four, accompanied by a numerous train of do-
mestics, in scarlet livery, with silver lice, and
preceded by a small detachment of hussars, to the
palace of the Grand Pensionary, where they dined,
as did also Vice• Admiral I)ewioter and Lieutenant-
General Dumonceau. The other dinners com-
menced at the same hour. In one of the apartments
of the Secretary of State for the War Department,
was an ornament, representing the pyramid of the
Camp of Zeyst. At night, the Counsellors of State,
and other funftionaries, in grand costume, Scc. went
to ene french Theatre, where an elegant box was
hued up in a splendid style for the new Grand Pen-
sionary and his family."

PARIS, MAW fa.

If it be asked, why have the French, once so
proud of their Kings, so attached to the House of
Bourbon, consented to fix the Imperial Diadem up- I
on the brow of the Corsican, the following consi-
derations may afford a satisfaaory answer :
The purchasers of national property fear, that if
Louis XVIII. were to ascend the throne, they
should be stripped of all their acquisitions. Bona-
' parse has declared them imvocable ; and has
sworn, at his consecration, to maintain them invio.
late.

If to this number be added all the persons who
solicit pensions or employments, all the families,
who ask for their children places in the Lycees ; ex-
emption from conscriptions, dispensations, &c. the
royalists in the interior, who are in a state of sur-
veillance, or marked as suspef►ed, all the returned
emigrants, who have received the benefit of the am-
nesty, or are soliciting it ; the number of signatures,
which is the result of the examination of all the re-
gister, may be easily anticipated. Yet, such is the
ground upon which Bonaparte has announced, with
so much emphasis, that he has £e•n tad to the threnr
6y the unanimous wee of the People, of the Senate, and of
the Army, although neither the people nor the army
have been, in any manner, consulted upon his eleva-
tion to the Imperial dignity, and their vote has been
expressly limited to the single question of the in
hesitance of the Crown 1 a question the more indif-
ferent, as there was not one among the voters, the
Mamelukes excepted, who is not persuaded, that as
Napoleon has been the first, so will he be the last of
his f.mily who shall ever occupy the throne of
France.
