Private letters Com Paris state, that Count Co-
aserzei. is making great preparations to celebrate,
with all possible splendour, the day of his So-
vereign's inauguration Al a revolutionary Emperor
of Austria, on the Ist of November. BUN A-
t ANTS. his wife, brothers, and sisters, are to be pre-
sent p and upwards of six hundred cards of invita-
tion have already been sent round every where to
the members of the foreign diplomatic corps, as
well as to the French revolutionary gentry. As
the great expences for this patriotic fete mill not be
remitted from the Cabinet of Vienna, aud Co-
BLNT ZEL himself is as much a Sass Gaunt in pro-
perty as in principle, it is supposed that he will be,
as many Preload lm has bola already, lademnifsad

by NA pottom the First; who does not consider
fifty thousand louis d'ors too great a price for the
revolutionary fraternity with an imperial brother.
Such is now the intimacy between Coacsrzr
and TALr.LYRAND, that the other Mi-
nisters call them the poktteal trinity- But they are
not only the favourite; of TALLEYRA P: ; even BO-
NAP•RVE, at their audience at Aix la Charlie,
condescended to converse with them two minutes
longer than the time fixed by the Imperial Master
of Ceremonies ; to the great vexation of the revolu-
tionary knight, &NI PANEL PENNINCK, the Batavian
Ambassador. Of the other diplomatic agents, the
Spanish Ambassador, GRAVIPIA, the
nister, DRRYEte, and the Bavarian Minister CkTTO,
are still favourites in 'Ma only ; though seen with
pleasure by TA IA EY It•ND, and spaken to with
civility by BUN APAKt L. All the other di-
plomats are treated rather cavalierly. TA L-
LEY I AND politely nods to them, whilst BOS A-
PA lITR graciously stares at them. Their invi-
tations to court are few, and their confer: nee.
short. They see that they are endured, and feel
that they are not much liked. Their situatio r is
therefote not enviable ; as the first supposed in-
discreet word, or
.faux pas, will be followed by an
impel ial scolding at the Thuilleries, if not by a short
visit to the Iliperial Bastile—the Temple. They
are watched by TA 1.1.E-ra AND'S spies, and insulted
by siusataara's satellites.

A Letter from Dover states, that a Prussian ves-
sel from Antwerp, for Lisbon, was spoken with Last
Friday by oar cruisers in the Downs. 'The Prussian
Capt. declared, that before his departure information
ha Ib:7m received atAntwerp of the arrival of liom A-
PASTE on the coast, and that he intended, during his
present review of his camps, to visit that city, where
the Prefca and the Commander had ordered great
rejoicings, though the most numerous and respeit-
able of the inhabitants detest equally France and her
tyrant, and had gone to their country-houses to avoid
seeing the Usurper within the walls of a place, so often
honoured with the presence of their former Princes, of
the House of Austria, to which they are zealously at-
tached. On Monday the nth inst. sixteen gun-boats,
six flat-bottomed boats, two praams, and ten trans-
ports from Holland, anchored in the Scheldt, oppo-
site Antwerp, and had orders to proceed, with all
possible dispatch, by way of the canals of the inte-
rior, to Ostend. The transports were under Dutch
colours, but all the armed vessels had the French
ti.ig, though most of the sailors on board were
Dutchmen or Gel mans, commanded by French
Officers. Since the blockade of the other Flemish
ports, the trade of Antwerp is rather brisk : no less
than twenty-four neutral vessels had cleared nut the
week before. It was expected that a:i embargo
would be laid on all shipping, at DUN A e AMT L'S
arrival, to be continued during his stay.

The Russian Fleet, which was expelled to co-
operate with us in the German Ocean, hal, probably,
rrturned before this time to Russia. We have in-
serted a letter from au Officer on board, which
states, that it was only to croise in the North Sea
until the Lith September. It consisted oftluee ships
of 6/ guns, three of 44, and a cutter.

Admiral Con wiesi.us sailed with his squadron
from Torbay on Saturday, to resume his station

On Friday evening Lord Goose and suite ar-
rived at Nelson's Hotel, Yarmouth, and on Saturday
afternoon his Lordship embarked on board th e.imeloteat
frigate. Captain SPIIIMOER. for St. Petersburgh ; the
frigate got under way about four o'clock with a fair
wind. His Lordship was expeaed to make his pas-
sage _ in eight days, if the wind continues fair.
Mr. Mt, t;::‘). the American Plenipotentiary at oar
Court, has, in consequence of instruaions received
from Mr. President Jarr slot:, set out for Madrid,
via France, to assist Mr. PIKKNE7 in the pending
negotiations for the adjustment of the existing differ-
ences between His L•THOLIC MAJESTY and the
United States.

The general opinion of naval men is, that it
the attempt of invasion is delayed for a week or two
longer, there is little probability of its being tried,
at least from Boulogne, for several months to come.

A letter from a Gentleman in Jamaica, dated the
sth of August, says, “ never did this island wear a
more smiling aspedf than at present. The crops of
sugar, coffee, &c. are abundant ; and, what is still
more important, the most perfea tranquillity reigns
among the Blacks throughout the island."
it appears that a revolution is about to take place
in the Borough politics of Truro. The matter cameto
issue on Tuesday last, when several memtsers of the
Corporation assembled as usual at the Town-Hall,
to choose a Mayor for the year ensuing. The at-
tendance was not sufficiently numerous, however, to
proceed to business ; and, in consequence, no Mayor
has yet been chosen. Lord F LII.OL:T If presided as
Recorder of the Borough.
