Fontainbleau.

rosTaissLtAu, OCT. 7.

Since the Court has taken up its residence here,
Fontainbleas presents a very lively and busy scene.
The road from Paris is covered with carriages, and
the Pastmauers cf the environs have been obliged
to augment the numner of their post horses. The
Ministers arrive fregtiently from Yetis, to transit&
business with the Emperor 1 and here, as elsewhere,
Ilia Majesty is the most occupied person in the Em.
pire. He yesterday held a Council, which conti-
nued from eleven iti the morning till seven in the
evening. At the ennelasion of it he went to dinner,
and twenty minutes after he appeared at the theatre.
The representation of that day was It/habinivit. To
convey an idea of the extraordinary bustle which
prevsils ben. it will be sufficient to observe, that,
besides the Court of the hinpsior and Empress,
Ft:malt-Ann possesses the King and Queen of West-
phalia. the Queen ol Holland. the Prince ot Baden,
the Prince Primate, and several other Foreign
riintes.
Notwithstanding his numerous occupations. the
Emperor gives all occasional hour to pleasure. He
yesterday hunted the stag and the wild boar. His
Majesty left the palace at eleven o'clock. to partake
of a breakfast ar the place of rendezvous. at the
distance or a 'eagle and a half. The Emirs.... the
Queen of Wes.ohalia, the Grand Duke and Duchess
de Berg, the Hereditary Grand Duke and Duchess
of Baden, the Prince and Piincess of Neufchatel,
the Prince Primate, and several other Noblemen, as
well Freach as foreigners, were present at the hunt.
In the evening the Court re-assembled in the apart-
ments ot the Queen of Holland.
It is stated. that on the lath of aliber the An-
nie nary of the Battle of Jena will be celebrated in
the twelve municipalities of Paris. by the marriage
ol certain military persons to young wsuuen, who
are to he portioned by the Emperor.

It appears that the Russians have not beer abie to
obtain permis•ioa to disembark at Tricia., or rather
that the Courier. wiz ot•ght to have brough back
the ansmr of the Rtdp•ror of Austria, has stopped
too long on the road; for yesterday and the day
before. the whole of the Russian fleet, composed sit
$5 sail, have recoiled to our man t the English have
oho departed, alit' returned no more. Three easels
of the line, and nitwfrigates, have cast anchor in the
road; the tranrpor is have repaired to Lido and isle.
Impact° 6 the Runiao troops have been transported
in barks aad gondolas, to Meate, on the Continent,
where every thing is prepared for their reception.
The necessary dispositions have also been made for
their support to the Venetian distvias, by which they
must pass to reach the Tyrol, and the South of Ger-
many.

The news that bas arrived respaing the mea.
ems taking for the defesice of the Russian ports,
Las been received bee with joy. since it afords a
new guarantee ler the continuance of the peace on
the Continent. At the same time. we have ano-
ther example of the resolution of Russia to defend
its interes s and its honour at sea. The Russian
ships that were conveying their troops from the
Adriatic to N'enire. were, in the first instance, pre-
vented from entering that pert b.. the Enlist). The
Ri.srian Admiral. not choosing to snake use of force,
immediately sailed for Trieste, when he dispatched
a Courier to Prince Kurakin, at Vienna, to !mow
bow Ise should conduct himself : upon which the
Ptince gave him orders Si sail fer Venice, and, if
eteeersary, to repel force by force. The Russian
Admiral sailed accordingly fir Venice. where he
landed his troops without Any molestation from the
English, who retired upon his approach.
The Courier dispatched by the Government of
Trieste to the Emperor of Austria, found the Em-
peror at Grate. The Governor of 'Trieste imme.
diraely received orders tor grant a free passage to the
Ruasiaa troops, and supply them with every neces-
sary they stood in nerd ot at the expense of the
Austrian Goverment, who had received assur-
emcee of payment fur the same by the Russian Am-
bassador.

In Norway. as well as in Holstein, measures are

We leatn with joy the serious prep.rrations of
defence made in the most remote parts of the
Danish kingdom, penetrated by a sense of the
common (tartlet, by Cie fate •f Copenhagen.
Above al, along the extensive coasts of Norway,
we are preparing the most proper means for repel-
ling the enemy. These coasts, in all accessible
places, have been covered with batteries, cannons,
and brave defenders of their native soil. The ar-
mament of Norway is direaed by the brave Prince
Christian of Sleswie Holstein, who, on the 19th of
August, called the inhabitants of the country to
arms, by the following energetic proclamation :
(The; follows the Proclamation, of which the fol-
lowing are the most interesting parts What .ire
the desigss of this enemy, as cruel as unexpeaed
What the end of its ambition f One can neither
say with certainty, nor even guess: it is, therefore,
not only possible., but even probable, that its arms
will even reach further. At all events, we ought to
prepare against a sudden attack, and assemble all
our forces, in order to repel it with success. To arms,
then, to arms, valorous sons of Norway! The
enemy has provoked you ; emulate the courage of
your fathers ; of your brethren of Denmark ; be
like them unanimous and brave, follow your leaders
in the path of mow, and honour ; and since an enemy
threatens the hereditary throne of Frefcrizik, and
your hearths, he prodigal of life and blood in the de-
fence of both."

TTO2I._6AIIOLS. OCT. 21.

Snub, a drayman, late in the employ of
Sailor. and Brown, Proprietors of the Clerkenwell
klrewery,was ezamined before the presiding M o !s-
-r Razz, on suspicion of being concerned with another
drayman, of the name of Coles, who it appears has
defrauded his employers, by selling barrels of ale
to different publicans without his employers' know-
ing any thing of the transaftion; and has absconded.
Mr. Brown, it appeared, had suspeaed something
wrong was going firward, having heard several of
his customers complain that the casks were ant full
when they were put into their cellars, some of them
wanting one-half, and zithers two-thirds. He was
determined to send his clerk round with the dray,
when Coles, who was foreman, refused, and swore
he would ire d—d if any person should go round
wins his dray ; in a shed, whisk belonged to Coles,
Mr. Brown saw sixteen casks, with the masks cut
partly out, but not sufficiently so, u to prevent him
from recognizing them.
A woman of the name of stonar was produced,
who lived nest door to Cole's shed, and who stated,
that she has often seen the Prisoner come there with
a dray, in company with Coles, and has 1
times seen an old man, who, it appeals, is the elder
Coles, remain there after the others were gone ; has
several times heard a noise as of cleaning casks.
It appeared from the statement of Smith, in his
defence, that the y, Unger Coles, the father being
implicated is also in custody, hired a shed in
Bridgewater -gardens, of a person of the name of
Fell, for the purpose, as he informed the Prisoner,
of setting up in the yeast Nosiness, after he hired
the shed ; when nut one day with their master's
dray, they atoms, d at this shed, when Coles informed
a publican of the name of Scare, who has also been
in custody, snipe :fed of receiving several of the
barrels, but has been admitted to taxi:, that he had
taken the shed, when Scare offered to go halves
with Coles, which was agr.ed to; some days after-
wards, when out with the dray, they again called
at the shed, and kft two empty casks belonging
to Brown and Co. which they had received from
some of their employers customers. The first
time he was ever at the shed, he saw several
casks there, with Brown and Co. milked upon
them. All the cad's that Coles had left there, when
he was with him, were empty ones; or, at least,
there was very little liquor in them. He has seen
some stale beer at the shed, which Scarr said had
been lets in his butts. Prisoner bas thought the cit-
cumst ince of Coles leaving the empty casks at the
shed rasher strange, hut was induced to say nothing,
Coles treatii.g :sum very often, to keep him silent.
Never knew of any casks of beer or ale being taken
from the Brewery. A firkin was produced, which
was found in Scares cellar; but the Prisoner could
not state whether it was one of those he had seen in
the shed ; he had often seen an adze there.
From a question put to him by Mr. Brown, he had
supposed the marks were cut out of the casks.
He was committed for further examination.
