CORONATION OP 777 E ENTPERO,
GERMANY.

The preparations which are making for the Co-
ronation of the Emperor already call- the attention
of the public to that great solemnity, which an-
nounces to the French a splendid and interesting
spectacle. and will form a memorable epoch in
their history. This consideration induces us to
think that the following details will be found inte-
resting.
OF THE CORONATION OF THE EMPEROR OF
GERMANY.
_ _

Though the Emperor's Coronation confers upon
him no new right, yet it is a ceremony which ren-
ders his eled i“ai solemn and public. It is perform-
ed in the fol owing manners According to the
Golden Bull, the coronation should take place at
Aix hr Chapelle, but that is not always the case.
When the time and place of the ceremony are fixed,
the Eleaor of Mentz informs the magistrates of
Aix and Nuremberg, who send, by their deputies,
the Imperial regalia confided to their care; name-
ly, those of Nuremberg the golden crown of Char-
lemagne, the ring, the sceptre, the globe, the shoes
and sword which an angel is said to have prese:ted
to that monarch ; a long staff, a stole, or priest's
habit, a hood and a girdle. Those of Aix la Cha-
pelle send a shrine covered with diamonds, in
which are kept some of the blood of St. Stephen, the
sword commonly used by Char!emagne ( which is
now at Vienna), with its belt, and the New Testa-
ment in gold letters, made use of by that Emperor.
On the day appointed for the . coronation, the
spiritual eleaors, with the bishops and other eccle-
siastical officers, repair in the morning to the
church, where the deputies of Aix and Nurem-
berg deliver the Imperial regalia into their hands,
while the secular eleaors, or theit ambassadors, in
habits of ceremony, accompany the Emperog from
the town-house to the church. The Eleaor of
Bavaria carries the globe, having, on his right, the
Elector of Brandenbaugh, bearing the sceptre, and,
on his left, the Eleaor Palatine, with the crown. Be-
hind them, and immediately preceding the Empe-
ror, walks the Eleaor of Saxony, carrying the
imperial sword. IVhen the latter is present in per-
son at the ceremony, he carries the sword naked,
and his hereditary marshal carries the sheath before
him ; but when in his, absence, his marshal carries
the sword sheathed.

A moment before the Emperor arrives at the
church, the ecclesiastical electors leave the sacristy,
and go before him in procession, with the bishops,
and other ecclesiastics, to the d9or of the church.
The pavement of the streets through which the
Emperor walks is covered with green cloth. He
has scarcely passed, wen the people cut it to pieces
and divide it among them almost tinder His Majes-
ty's feet. The Eleaor who is to perform the coro-
nation is dressed in his pontifical habits, with the
mitre on his head, and the crozier in his hand ; the
two other ecclesiastical eleaors wearing only their
electoral dress. As soon as the r.mperor comes in
sight, the officiating eleaor begins to sing Adj.do.
rise, rtrwrainz ie leomine Dons;al; and after repeating
the prayer Onruiposems sempiterwe Dent, he returns :u-
-warls the altar, and the two other Eleaors, placing
themselves on each side of the Emperor, cantina
him to lvs pew, where, having kne.el?cl down, the
Elkicn s likewise take their places, still leaving the
'1 imperial ornaments in the custody of the hereditary

Acers
'1 he Officiating Prelate he7ins the ceremony with
th:: prayer, Domme taikLmf.T let gem, with the other
usual pt ar.r. ; after which, Mass is CulebrAted. He
than tAk..s off from the Emperor the Royal Mantle,
and the two oth.l. Spiritual Ele!tors et-Indult him to
the altar, where, lt...celing down on the highest step,
the Chaplains sing the Litanies of the Saints, to toe
verle. Ut nor &vita se thrawt. The Officiating
Eleaor then contimics his prayers for the Emperor,
which are answered by the choir. After this, the
Emperor rises, and the Officiating EleCtor, with the
mitre on his head, and the crozier in hti hand, puts
six que,tions to him, in Latin, to which the Empe-
ror replies, ‘• Yes, I will." He then kneels down
again, the Archbishop begins this prayer, " Lord,
who at all times governest all kingdoms," &c and
lilewise the following, " Lorl, cause the pen& to
remain faithful to him." After thee: prayers, the
Suffragans of the Officiating .Archbishop uncover
the Emperor, to anoint him, and the Archbishop
t.tkes the holy oil, saying, Psi icrwe—to which fol.

lows the resporse, Et ern, sfririki 1.10. As he anoints
the Emperor, the two outer Eleaors dry up the oil
with cotton.

The two Eaton then lead the Emperor to a cha-
pel, by the side of the choir, where are the ancient
lmper.al garments brought from Nnremberg, and
clothe him in the stole, sandals, &c. They then
concha:A him back to his pew, somewhat nearer the
a! tar. Upon this, the two Eleftots lay upon the al-
tar the sword of Chariemapas, brought from Aix ;
and, at the same moment that they put it, drawn,
into the Emperor's hands, the 9fficiating Pro Lite
gives him his beneliai‘.n, saying, " Take that
sward, by virtue, of this henediAion ; employ it for
the defence of the Church of God, for which pur-
pose his goodness has destined it." Meanwhile the
sword is put into the sheath, and the Temporal
:,le fors, baying approach d, gird it to the Empe-
ror:s side. 'I he Archbishop then takes the ring,

airier is laid upon the altar, and puts it on his fin-
ger, with the usual ishes. Then taking frran the
altar the sceptre and globe, he likewise puts thi..n
into his hands, the sceptre in the right, and the glnb••
in the left, pronouncing the helediaion, and ti e
usual wishes. At the conclusion of this payer, the
Emperor returns the sceptre and globe -to the Elec-
tor, whose office it is to carry them, and the Depu-
ties of Nuremberg throw over his shoulders the great
Imperial Mande, made likes cowl ; upon which the
three Spiritual Eleaors take the crown from the
altar. and, all together, put it on the Emperor's
head, the OlEsiating Prelate accompanying the ac-
tion with prayers and wishes; to which the choir
replies, Amen.
The Spiritual Eleaors then condui the Emperor
to the altar, where he nails the usual oath in the
Getman language ; after which be is cos.Juied
back to his place, by the same Eleaors, Mass is
continaed, and, at the offertory, the hmpervr, whit
the sceptre ant globe in has hands, makes an offer-
ing of I.piece of gold.
As owes as the Emperor goes to the altar, the
crown is oaten of, and replaced when he comes from
it. 'I hi. oftools pahnosd by the LkEtor Palatine

Majesty, still- remaining seated, then receives the
congratulations presented him by the Eledor of
Mentz, in the name of all the rest; upon which the
Electors retire, and the officiating Archbishop re-
sumes hi.; eleBoral habits.

Meanwhile, the Empurnr, attended by ths so':u ar
eletors, knights, some co pits, or nohies the
empire, whom he touches with the sworLi

marshal, dcsceods from his seat, aad returns to his
pew. A canon of the collegiate church of Aix-la
Chapelle, there preseuts himself before the Empe-
ror, and having represented that every Emperor is
received a canon of that church, hir humbly re-
quests His Majesty to take the oath, which the Ern-.
peror pronounces in Latin. Instead of the gift for-
merly made to the church of Aix; of part of the,
furniture and ornaments employed for the corona-
tion, he makes it a present of five or six golden
Ratios ; two pipes of the best wine for the church
of our Lady, and one pipe fur the Abbey of St.
A delbert.
The Emperor and the clelors give a written do-
cument, purporting, that if the coronation take place
in any other town, that circumstance cannot be in
any respe9 injurious to the rights of Aix-La-Cha.
peile. The ceremony being concluded, the com-
pany return to the town-house, where the electors,
before dinner, perform the following ceremony :
The Elecctor of Saxony, descending from the town-
house, mounts a horse, and rides full speed to a
large heap of oats on the ground. lie fills a large
silver measure; he gives it to the Count of PapFen-
heim, and returns amidst the sound of drums, and
kettle-drums ; the remainder of the oats being left
at the disposal of the populace.
The Elector of Bavaria then comes on horseback,
and proceeds to the place, where an ox is roasted
whale. He takes a piece, prepared for the Empe-
ror, carries it into the great hall, amidst the sound
of drums and kettle-drums, and presents it to his
Majesty. The ox is disposed of in the same man-
ner as the oats.

The Elector of Brandenburgh then rides round
the square, holding a silver ewer, and preens his
Majesty with water to wash his hands.
The Eleant Palatine, after proceeding about ten
or twelve paces on horseback, throws pieces of gold
and silver coin among the people.
The Emperor and the Eleants then seat them-
selves at table. in the following manner: In the
middle, near the window, is the Emperor's table,
elevated three steps; on the right are the four tables
of the Eleftorof Mess. the king of Bohemia, the
Eleaer of Bavaria, and the EleCtor of Brxnden-
burgh ; and on the left are those of the Bleaor
Cologno, the Eleaor of Saxony, and the Eleaor
Palatine. Another is placed in the ccotre of the
hail, ejnicsite the k:naperor, for the kle.aor cf
Fr.ves.

FORTIFIC4TIONS UPON THE COAST OF

KENT.

Under the South For:land, at St. Margarite's Bay,
there is a battery, with a party of troops stationed.
For three miles westward, the cliffs are inaccessible ;
then comes I)over Castle, with a very formidable
array of artillery, commanding the shore, the Ca
tle itself having been very strongly fortified on the
land side. In the cliffs of the Castle and on the
Beach are batteries ; there is a battery at the North
Pier, and a battery at the South Pier, together with
a strong battery and fort westward of the town.
For upwards of twenty years it has been recommen-
ed to fortify the western heights above Dover. and
that plan is now carrying into execution. There is
a long extended line, it is true, but that, though
very strong, is merely an oat-work. The main de-
fence, the strong hold, the Citadel, if we may so call
it, is at the summit of this line on the highest ground
near Dover; and if it be commanded,which we doubt,
by an opposite range, at least. it must be allowed to
be the best situation that could be found, as it is
the highest ground in the neiglinurhood. It has
long been the opinion of military risen, that as this
height commands Dover Castle, and much of the
surrounding country, unless it were well fortified,
Dover could not be secure. This important work is
now carrying into effed with the utmost rapidity.—
From Dover westward to Folkstone, the cliffs are
again inaccessible. At Folkstone there is another
battery : two miles farther is Sandgate Castle,
whore there are some artillery ; and half a mile
bather is a strong battery under Shorneliffe, the
guns of which are nearly levet with the sea, and
mint immediately across the high road, so that it isimpossible to pass without seeing, without almost
tinning foul of them. Two miles further, at Hythe,
there are batteries u and also at Dungeness. In the
fifteen miles limit Ssoith Foreland to tiphe, we find
about ni le batteries, exclusively of I)over Castle,
and the fottifieJ heights to the westward of Dover.
Along the coast of Kent and Susses, there is not a
hollow for a landing place, but there is a battery;
Nacre is not a height, but there is a signal-post.
Perhaps it would be desirable to have more art ll:ry
and artillerymen; and we make no doubt the defence
of our coasts by batteries might be greedy im-
proved ; but no on: important point se r teas to have
been wholly overlooked. The batteries on the
French coasts are certainly far superior to our own;
but the service is very different. They wish to
reach far to sea, to prows% their cruisers; we do
not wish to fight, from land, ships at a distance on
the sea; we wish to protect the beach against
landing. In a few hours, twenty thousand men.
must of them regulars, the rest militia. can be
brought to any part of the coasts of Kent; and in
twenty-four hours that number can be doubled, ex-
clusively of volunteers.
