FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS.

PAMS, DEC. 1.
The Senate, at eleven o'clock this day, proceeded
in a body to the Thuilleries, where they were pre-
sented to his Imperial Majesty by his Imperial
Highness Prince Joseph, Grand Eledor. His Ex-
cellency the President, Neufchateau, addressed his
Majesty in a long complimentary speech (which we
have not room for insertion today), to which his
Majesty replied in the following terms :
• " I ascend the Throne, to which the unanimous
wishes of the Senate, the people, and the army, have
6 called me, with a heart penetrated with the great
P destinies of that people, whom, from the midst of
camps, I first saluted with the name of Great.
" From my youth my thoughts have been solely
Axed upon them, and I must add here, that my plea.
mm and my pains are derived entirely front the
happiness et misery of my people.
" My descendants shell Fang preserve this throne.
" In the camps they will be the first soldiers of
the army, sacrificing their lives for the defence of
their cour try.
" As Magistrates, they will never furget, that
contempt of the laws, and the confusion of social
order, pre only the result of the imbecility and un-
certainty of Of focus.
" You, Senators, whose counsels and support
have never failed me in the most difficult circum-
stances; your spirit will be handed down to your
successors. Re ever the props and first counsellors
of. that throne so necessary to the welfare of this
vast Empire."
On the same day the Tribunate complimented
his Maje.ty ; and the Senate and Tribunate, and
Council of State, delivered congratulatory speeches
to the Pope.- - -(llfonionir.)
Never was there seen in Paris such a number of
carriages; the streets, quays, and bridges, were co-
vered with them.
Yesterday and to-day a great number of the De-
putations. who have come to Paris to attend the Co-
ronation, passed in review on. the Plain of the
Invalids.
The squadrons of cavalry which were expelled
in Paris arrived -this morning ; they made a must
brilliant appearance.
. The erosions of the police are astonishing, and
yet its operations are imperceptible. Citizens come
freely to Paris, and go about where they please,
without any body appearing to take notice of them.
Nevertheless every eec if known. Numerous patroles
maintain order by their presence alone, amidst this
burnouse concourse of strangers arrived from every
past of Europe.
The twat" which •••• sW &Au/ the twenty four
carriages, which will form the Imperial procession,
were exercised this day on the Place Carousel ; they
went through the evolutions which they are to per-
form to-morrow. Every body admired the grace
and beauty of those superb coursers, which seemed
to feel proud of the employment for which they are
destined.
The cannon announces, in all the environs of the
capital, the eve of a great day. It was too often
abe signal of alarm and death ; at present it only
awakens delightful sensations and prospeCts of hap-
piness in the hearts of Frenchmen.—(BirileOn.)
The preparations making in the garden of l'huil-
leries promise magnificent illurnioatiobs. From
the porticos which surround the parterre. descend
garlands of coloured lamps ; the great alley is deco-
rated by colonnades, surroundad by stars; the ter-
races have circular piatearsz, which preAn4 the form
of an orangery; every tree in the transverse alleys
will be illuminated by lamps. In the middle of the
Place de la Concorde will be raised an iron:ease st.ur,
which will tower above all other lights, Atli throw
its light to a great distance. The Champs Elyse,s
pill also be richly illuminated. The Boulevards
will be illuminated through their whole extent by
lamps placed at different distances along alie trees.

We cannot yet give our readers the expeCled de-
tails of the august ceremony of the inauguration and
coronation. The grandeur of the solemnity, the
order. et-144 and pomp, with which they were cele-
brated, have impressed upon all hearts a deep emo-
tion, which does not leave the mind the requisite
freedom to describe, in so short a time, so magnifi-
cent a spectacle. Yet 'we must point out the god of
day escaping, beyond all hope, from the empire of
a foggy and cloudy season, to enlighten so fine a
day, and those thousands and thousands of lamps
giving a noon-day brilliancy to a peaceful and joyous
night. We must furnish a just idea of the most noble
and imposing procession, of that religions ceremony,
of that civil aft, which have at once united all that
human and divine affairs could present !noir sublime;
of that concourse of people from all parts of the em-
pire, and from the most distart parts of Europe, to
admire. in the bosom of one city. the mot venerable
apostolic virtues, and the most astonishing genius,
crowned by the most brilliant destiny. We must, in
short, communicate to the French, who were not
happy enough to be present, that pious and civic
enthusiasm. that love, that gratitude or a whole
people, whose transports resounded in Pa- same day
throughout the temples and every put of the capi.
tal.—(Meanesse.)
co describe at this moment so memorable a day
as yesterday--to depict the public joy—to enumerate
the numerous proofs of love and gratitude which the
'Emperor received every where, would be to under.
take what the delirium of the moment will not per-
mit, and what the new minutes use can spare to this
day's Paper will still less permit. We must confine
outsvlves to a few words.

drilled day. ervened with complete success the
inittsense preparations with which all Paris was oc-
cupied.
The sun shoneVor a short time—his first beams
appeared wheork,bi Emperor left the Thuilleries, and
from time to.tsre irradiated his path to the moment
of his arrival it Notre Dame.
From five in the morning the streets were full of
people and carriages—from all parts the people
rushed to the places through which the procession
wag to pass.
The public espeCtation was entirely fulfilled—no-
thing could equal the taste, richness, and elegance
of every thing belonging to the procession. No-
thing, above all, could equal the brilliant appear-
ance of those gallant men that formed His Majesty's
escort, and whose eclat spoke more to the imagina-
tion, because it brought to mind the victories with
which this band of heroes have covered themselves.

The procession arrived at Notre Dame amidst the
acclamations of the people, who blessed the day, and
the Hero to whom the benefit was to be attributed.
l'hese acclamations were redoubled in the Church,
filled with citizens, so much the more sincerely at-
tached to his Majesty, from being the co-operators
of the good, which his genius prepares and direas.
The imposing ceremonr:s of the inaugurationtook
place in the manner we had previously announced.
We shall dwell here only upon the Emperor's oath.
His Majesty pronounced it with the firm tone of a
man whose heart confirms what his mouth expresses;
but when he came to these words which terminate
that august oath—l swear to govern wlela cim'h a
vino to the interest, the happiness, glad glory of the
French peep—his voice, changing from a deep and
aff..ding sentiment, reached with more certainty the
hearts of every one who heard him.
Hi► Majesty and the procession came out of the
Church about four, and did not return to the Thuil.
leries till night had closed in, leaving no other re-
gret to be experienced by the citizens, than that the
tall of day h.td hindered (bent from enjoying more
of this charming and inspiring speCtacle.
Every where in his Majesty'. passage the citi-
zens were eager to decorate their bosses with tapes-
tries of different kinds.

In the afternoon the troops assembled in the Bou-
levards, waiting fnr the procession, danced to the
sound of the tambour, and to cries of Vire i 'Entpe-
rem.. Every where the people partook of their joy,
and assembled to dance at several places.
The procession was equally numerous as brilliant;
a just idea of it may in some measure be formed by
observing that an hour and a half scarcely sufficed
to see it pass.
The illuminations were every where very bril-
liant. The Boulevards seemed to leave nothing to
be desired in point of sight; but the chagrin disap-
peared when one was transported to the Thuilleries.
The most lively imagination cannot conceive the
taste and the magnificence of this brilliant and happy
evening.
It any thing were wanting to complete our asto-
nishment, it was the order and tranquillity which
prevailed in Pans. The general happiness was not
interrupted by any accident.-.( fiunetin de r Europe.)
The solemnity of the Coronation and Consecration
of their Imperial Majesties was celebrated this day,
in conformity with the regulations in the different
ceremonials which have been published. It would
be difficult for us, to-day, to enter into full details,
or even to coiled particular circumstances.
The weather was peculiarly favourable to the
pomp and external magnificence of the procession.
A fine winter's day, the sky lightly clouded, a slight
frost, facilitated the full display of all the great pre-
parations which had been made ; and was equally
favourable to those who made part of the pro, es-
lion and the spedators. The carriage of His Ho-
liness was, as usual, preceded by a■ Ecclesiastic
upon a Mule, carrying the Papal Cross. The Holy
Father on the way gave the A postolical Benedielion,
and, in returr., received those of gratitude and piety.
Their Imperial Majesties heard continually, during
the whole of the procession, both before and after
the Coronation, the most animated e!pressions of
the public will, which gave a sort of sandion to this
solemn a&. The crowd was every where immense,
and the greatest order prevailed.
The Senate were yesterday admitted in a body
to pay their homage to his Holiness, a. was his
Eminence the Cardinal Archbishop of Paris.—(Pad-
)

DU'. 4.

The second day of the Coronation Fetes had
the charatter of that ever memorable day which had
preceded it ; but they had that which were proper—
that of a public rejoicing.
The movements of a people running from plea-
sure to pleasure, had succeeded solemn pomp; a
common dress, to that of costume ; popular sports,
to ceremonies ; and, instead of brilliant processions,
we had immense population spread upon the (pays,
the public places, the promenades, and the Boule-
vards, where all sorts of diversions were going on.
A fine and clear day rendered more brilliant this
assemblage of people, which extended from the Im-
peria! Palace to the extremity of the Boulevard Saint
Antoine. The multitudes were drawn to different
points at the same instant, and the immense extent •
of the Boulevards presented the coos trrtlO a con-
tinued promenad-.
In the morning, the heralds at Arms proceeded
through all the p, incipal places of the ens, and dis-
tributed on their passage an enormous .luantity of
medals of different sizes, destined to commemorate
this epoch of the coronation—on one side of the*
medals is the figure of the Emperor, bearing the
crown of the Czsars, N ith this legend—Napotona
Lmjeremr: on the reverse we read—Le Sena, ee le
Teeple. These words explain the meaning of tht
allegorical design on the reverse, where rs seen a
figure clothed in the attributes of magistracy, and
ore of a warrior, borne on a buckler, and new
clothed with the Imperial attributes. 'the eagerness
to obtain these medals was extreme. _

On the Place Jr le Conrorde arose four halls, form-
ing oblongs of antique architeBure, destined for
waltzes, from this place to the extremity of the bou-
levards extended long and brilliant cordons of illu-
minated pc-lands. 'I lie gates of Saint I fermis and
Saint Martin, behind which brilliant illuminations
terminated the view, offered a very beautiful coup
rtell. The Place dr la Concorde. the Hotel de la M.-
rime, and adjoining horses, the palaces of the Legis-
lative Body, and the Legion of Honour, displayed
a galaxy of light.
During the whole day. sports of every descrip

_

tion, along the whole extent of the Boulevards, sin-
gularly amused the speaators ; there were seen a
numerous corps of musicians. executing fanfaro-
nades and military marches; these groupes of sing-
ers, making the place resound; exercises of every
description; theatres at shok distances; panto-
mimes and buffoons, excited every where attention
and pleasure.
In the evening, the crowd insensibly filed off to-
wards the Champs Elysees, the Thuilleries. and all
the points where they could see easily, and without
confusion, a fine artificial fire-work, let off from
the Bridge of Concord.
No aLcident happened to cloud this agreeable
day; order. and the most perfeCt tranquillity, reign-
ed every where, and every where were seen that calm
and peaceable gaiety, that innocent liberty, which
characterises a happy people.—( Mondeur )
Then follows a Progr,vmme, for the distribution,
on the sth, of the colours, the itnpetial eagles, to
the deputation of the army. They were to be pre-
sented by the Emperor on his Throne.

LONDON,
SATURDAY. DECEMBER 15.

We yesterday announced exclusively the arrival of
Paris Papers to the sth instant. As we then stated,
they contain little more than an account of the fetch
&c. in honour of the coronation which cc:A place
u-on the second. The coronation and con,ceration
were condo Red exaaly according to the regulations
in the different ceremonials in the official Riper.
This whole plan of the ceremony we published ca."
(lllCirtd.t/ on Tuesday last, and consequently our
readers are in full possession of all that passed upon
that extraordinary occasion. Even the Paris Papers
admit that they have nothing to add that could make
our account more complete and satisfactory. We
feel no little pride and pleasure when we reflect upon
the many important occasions in which we have had
the good fortune to outstrip all our contemporaries in
priority of information. Should a continuance cf
the same industik be able to command the same
success, we pledge ourselves the present instance of
it will not be the last. On the Ist of December, the
Senate were introduced at the 1 huilbaies to his
Mock Majesty, who made a speech upon the
occasion in which he asserts that his " descend-
ants shall long preserve the Throne." A man, who
was a fugitive in Syria, a deserter in Egypt, and in
a few months after became First Consul of France,
might be supposed to think less favourably of the
constancy of Fortune, than to expect she will
never prove fickle to himself or his deseendmts.
Lours IV. was not ten hours a corpse, when his
will, regulating the succession to the throne,
although sanetirmed by Parliaments and Councils,
and a reign of 60 years, was set aside, almost
without a previous discussion. Upon the same day,
the Senate and Tribunate delivered congratulatory
addresses to the POPE, in the Thuilleries ; the very
place, where the very same men, in 1799, denied
their God, and renounced their religion,

Yesterday a Court of Direaors was held sr the
Fast India House, which adjourned at six o'cicc.k,
till Tuesday next.
Admiral Cos ti%%•LLIS has again returned with his
fleet to Torbay.
The Juno, BAXTER. from London, for Antigua,
is captured by a French privateer oil St. Kitts.
The Juno, —, and the Inkine, from
London, for the South Seas, were all well on the
coast of Ponac, in April ; and the 8ae44..a,t, of

The American ship Harmony, Capt. W 'CERA m,
from Sumatra (arrived in the Downs), s.tiled from
St. Helen's on the I nth Oftober, and left no ship
there.

A Portuguese vessel, which arrived at the Isles
of France a few days previous to the 16th July,
gave information, that an English t•liip had put in-

The boisterons weather that has prevailed since
the attack upon Fort Rouze, at Calais, has prevented
us from receiving the inll particular, of the damage
done. It is behaved that many lives were lost, as
there was a strong body of soldiers close to the wa-

cording to its tonnage.
A letter from Lisboa has been received by a Gen-
tleman of this city, the writer of which states, that he
left Madrid on the t sth of November, and that Mr.
Faxes had quitted that capital on the preceding day,
in company with Lord Hot LAND. lie adds, that he
passed Mr. FR ER s on the road, and arrived at l.is.
bon on the mottling of the 2tith of November. We
find, however, by the letter of our Falmouth cor-
respondent, that the Artabordpacket arrived there on
Saturday last, after a passage of only five days ;
consequently she could not have left Lisbon pre-
viously to the 2cl of December, six days aft 'r the
above gentleman is stated to have reached it; and it
does not appear that Mr. Fetal had arrived in Lis-
boa when the Aer4/ealsailed.—(ErcterF/yingPest.)
