?OREM/4' INTELLIGENCE.

PROM THE FRENCH PAPERS.

PAR:,', NOV.
Her Imperial Hig'mess tll,l Princess Lo.tis is near-
ly recovered. The young Prince continues to en-
joy geed health.

M. Champagny, the new Minister of the
Department, was at Prague, on the ISth ult.
where he was waiting the return of the Emperor 01
Germany.

In all the Departments the people arc emplo:, eJ in
choosing from each commune, a young, poor, .tnd
virtuous girl, who, according to the terms of the
Imperial Decree, is to raceive a crown, a portion,
and a husband, on the day of the coronation.
The labours for the festivals of the Coronation are
continued with so much adivity, that they are not
suspended even on Sundays. The Cloisters of Notre
Dame, which were lately covered with the ruins
of the ancient church of the Chapter, and other
old edifices, which obstruad the passage,have again
been cleared and paved, and present a spacious
avenue as far as the Isle of St. Lpuis. The portal
of the Hotel Dieu appears on the left side of the
Parvis, deprived of the scaffolding used for its eon-
strultion, and the windows are now being fitted in.
Several buildings, which concealed this portal on

both sides, have been demolished as far as the street of
Notre Dame, to the level of the Foundling Hospital,
which gives to the place a square and regular ex-
tent. Before the principal door of the metropolit
church is raised a large body of timber-work. or

scaffolding, Supported by fon: pillars, fixed in masses
of cone. It is said, that this edifice is intended to

nicoind the Pope of the facade of St. Peter's at
Rome. On the interior of the church, on both
sides of the nave, there are around the pillars,
a double row of galleries, which are ascended by
steps.

The great affair that occupied the Special Military
Commission et Rouen s. as terminated yesterday.
The Government Reporter recapituhted all the
Cif's, and drew his conclusions in a speech, of which
the following are some fragmenss :

1. We have a great but salutary examele to set.
On the one hand, you see guilt with all sts audacity :
on the other, innocence with all its candour ; the
oppressed, who holds out his supplicating hands tr
you; the wicked, who meditates new crimes. In
the contest which is about to take Owe, the as:dre s
of a villain may sometimes produce embarrassment ;
Got read in his eyes, but follow his discourse, and
the confusion of both, as much as the evidence i f
the leas, will soon sbcw you his guilt.
" Of these fifteen, three only have escaped ; the
other twelve are before you. Doubtless the accused
were the original authors of a plot so detestable, and
that they had demanded the price of it from that
atrocious Government, which, for such a length c
time, has pensioned all traitors and rewarded al
crimes.

" There is no doubt that the great majority of
rl-.e present culprits are not to be blamed than
pitied in this important proceeding, and that their
Credulity, with respect to the guilty principals, is, at
bottom, the only crime which they have in realit•
committed. But it is also to be believed, that in

this latter number, these may be found men, go-

veined by the vilest motives, who could not justify
themselves frnm the crime which is imputed to them.
The renewal cf the war with this nation, essentially
the tannic% and deeply jealous of the French na-
tion, permits, them with a new occasion for deve-
loping means the most easy to combat ; they ac-
cordingly congaed together all the villains whore
the sword of the Law pursued, and to whom their
Government grants a special prnte.4ic•n. more par-
fi-alarl► when they are rrenchmen, and base enough
to betray their country."
The reporter finnh-d thus : " !?ere, Gentlemen.
the duty of the Reporter ceases, and that of the
Judge commences. Constrained to search for truth
is a labyrinth, with no other guide than great zeal,
it is possible that I may be in error ; at all times I
have the happy certainty of baring admitted no-
thing against the accused but material proofs,
strengthened by their cwn confessions. It is your
task now to codify tLe e: r ors of my incspeticnce ;

but reflefl, that your double office embraces the
kncwiedge and repression of a crime which concerns
social order. The law demands also that you s'aould
consider, distingnish, and separate the errors inci-
dect to hanuni:y from the crimes t:i.st dishonour it."

The Pre,i,Jenr, after having heard the Reporter's
eonclus;ons, and the accused in their defence, asked
the Morr.beisof the Council, whether they hadanyob-
krvations to mate ? Uprn their replying i 3 the ne-
gaii*:, he ordered the dt.:.=ders sa,i the accused to

retire. The prisoners were re-conduaed, by the'r
escort, to prison.. The Recorder, as well as the

audience, also retired.
The Court, deliberating in secret, and the Pre-
sident, having laid down the laws, according to the
usual ftnnis, and having collefted the votes, com-
menting by the youngest Judge, pronounced a ver-
d:C.l of Gui 4,4 against the following persons :

employed in the inspeaion of signals, and institu-
tor at Treport ; Jean-Antoine Dieppois, aged 3S
years, a master-fisherman at Treport ; all conviaed
of being spies fur England, of being the authors of a
correspondence, whose end was to snake known to
that power the situ than of the troops of the Empire,
their strength, their opinions, their instruaions, the
situation of the National flotilla, the signals of the
marines, and propagating injurious calumnies on
the Emperor's person and the Chiefs of the Army;
a d all cr•miag under the case mentioned in Art. 4,
Se& 1, titre Ist, and 2d Part of the Penal Code,
Law of the 6th Oa. 1791, and Art. 2d, titre 4, of
the Law of the 21st Brumaire, and 5, have been
condemned, by the Commission, to death, and ate
to be executed (shot) within twenty-four hours.—
The other nine were acquitted.
The tine_ condemned persons were shot next day.
They behaved, say the French papers, with great
courage.

On the arrest and carrying off of Sir George !tom-

LON DON,
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22.

Ships fottified with German certificates, although
having British manufaftures on board, and known
to have tome from England, have been hitherto
admitted into the Dutch ports without hindrance
or restraint. We announced on Monday, that the
French Government had given notice of their deter-
mination to put an end to this intercourse on the
28th in,t. We now find that our statement was
perfeCtly correCt ; with this only exception, that the
day fixed is the Ccith, and not the 23th. This con-
firmation comes through a Rotterdam Paper of the
itith, which contains the official order of prohibi-
tion, signed by the French General ROe:SSEAU, com-
manding in that city. An expeaatiott was enter-
tained, that an exception would be made in favour
of Colonial produce ; but the French General says,
that his orders are to seize all vessels coming
from England with British merchandise of every
description.-130NAPARTE would. however, have
the world believe, that he considers Holland a
Tice and irsdependtrit state, and he talks of giving
it a new constitution. What a cruel mockery,
when the tyrant knows he is determined that it
shall have no law, but his will, and that the orders
of his soldiers shall super-ede every other authority.
These violations of the law of nations croud upon
each other, like the crimes of the tyrant Marbet/t
That of an hours age doth h,s. the apes ter :
F.ach to teem, a new one."
21facbetb, too, relied upon his destiny, and. at the
moment when lie thought himself securely seated
upon an usurped throne, to which ke waded through
murder, blood, and treason, found that the juggling
fiends

Keep toe word of pro:ntse to our ear,
And break it to our hope."
That a similar fate awaits the Corsican tyrant,
the history of all tyrants leads us to expel. It is
at the very moment they had gained the pinnacle
of their power we find them hurled from their
seats, as if Providence had perntitted them only
to rise so high that their fall might be the
greater. BONAPARTE just touches upcn that
point. His late circular note, proscribing the Eng-
lish diplomatic corps upon the Continent, is an order,
an absolute order to the several Powers of Europe.
It is vain to attempt to disguise it. It breathes tl.e
spirit of a Master di eating to his Slaves. lad Prussia
acquiesced in it by passing over w ithout not i ce the seiz-
ure of Sir Croatia Rs idiot p, we might fear that
the course of the tyrant was not yet run ; but the re-
sistance of the Court of Berlin, and his retraCtion,
shew, that he has passed his meridian, and may be el-
peCted to decline as rapidly as he rose. Of the resist-
ance of Prussia to this new aggression, there now can
be no doubt. The Rotterdam paper states, upon
the authority of the 3foncteur of the I Rh, that Sir
GEORGE RirIBOLD was liberated and sent to Eng-
land, through the interference and proteCtion of
His Pitussi.sx MAJESTY.

Another plot against the life of BONAPARTZ, we
are told, has been fortunately discovered. Tile
small French papers give an account of the trial of
fifteen persons at Rouen, charged with this offence.
After a trial of three days, six of them were found
gadi,, (three of whom being absent, were declared
ewthiwariourl, and nine were acquitted. The former
three were ordered for execution, and immediately
shot !

This day His MAJMY will hold a Privy Council
at the Q:;ssii's house.
Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the
East India Hnuse, when the following Ciptains
were sworn into the command of their respeaive
ships, viz.
Captrn James Sandilands, Walpole, Matirat and Bengal.
Captain Ttoinat Hucl.on,Ct,len, dot

The Mediterranean fleet, and the convoy for
Gibraltar, have been forced back to Tzlmouth, by

There was little alteration in the price of Grain
and Flour at the Corn Exchange yesterday.

pay of an Ensign should be advanced to 7s. per day :
that of a Lieutenant tors. ; that of a Captain to 13s. ;

Kew till p rst four o'clock.
Their MAJESTies and the five Patscesses, after.

in the midst of his family, that all the avenues
to the Theatre were crowded at ttn early hour. foe
Royal Boa was fitted up for their reception in tl:e
usual style of taste and elegance. The Royal
wa. announced by the most enthusiastic rrt.:ll,•
the most ardent affe.lion. Nothing could be rito- •
interesting and affeeting than the coup d's-1 v.
the house presented at this moment. !:very v•e
sparkled with delight—every bosom glowed vi•t:,
loyalty. The murmur of satistaetian, which had
previously run from box to box, now burst into ex-
clamations of the liveliest joy. The Ladies stood
up waving their shawls and handkerchiefs, and the
Gentlemen waving their hart, w.iile the whole Yoe
al
strength of the house sang God Save ilpe Kug, wniea
was enthusiastically encored.
His MAJESTY appeared in good health anti qpi-
rits, and was much pleased with the performance,
frequently expressing his approbation to Her MA-
JESTY and Princess Auousres, who sat on his right
hand. Between the Play and Farce, Rule B, itunia
was loudly called for, and sung by ail the vocal
performers. At the end of the Entertainment,
God Sore tie King was again called for, and
sung with the mist rapturous applause. The
PRINCESSES, partaking of the fervor that per-
vaded all ranks,joined in the song ; their charming
countenances br ghtened by filial affeaion ; w e du

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

The measures adopted at our Customhouse have,
for some days past, engrossed almost all our atten-
tion. Yon must have heard from the Irish l'apers,
that nearly the entire of the bfficers in the Excise
Departm-nt, were on Mond iv last susljenly sus-
places fill i by a draft from the
rade], and their
country. A step of this kind, where no delinquency
was prove I, or even insinuated, naturally ex=ited
loud murmurs, against the person from whom it
jlowe.l. ('.tr. Forster) the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer; nor have these murmurs been confined to
the displaced officers. The Revenue Board, who
were not even consulted on the expediency of it, are
highly offended, and a very angry altercation is said
to have taken place yesterday, on this subjea, be.
to-en Mr. F. and ...ord D. the senior Commissioner.
1: is also said, that that branch of the Revenue, the
colleftion of which is the immediate objet of Re-
Isom, has considerably declined, within the last three
nrnths. There is little or no business in our Courts
Of LAW: Judge JOHNSTON has not taken his seat
in the Common Pleas, since the commencement of
term; and, it is supposed, will retire altogether.
It was hoped, by the lovers of the Fine Arts,
that the Bank Directors, in altering our late
House of Co.nmons for a Bank, would confine
themselves to the interior of the building, and
that the exterior of that magnificent pile would be
suffered to remain inviolate, a monument of national
taste. Eat the work of devastation has begun, and
the western colonnade, which cost the Irish people
60,0001 is now aftually in its progress of demoli-
tion. This is neither a work of necessity to increase
the area of the building, nor of economy to save ez-
pence ; on the contrary, the alteration will cost a
large SlM—bciag a pure effort of taste. In vain
men of science exclaim against it, and pamphlets
have been written to expose the absurdity of it ; the
money-leaders go on. Almost opposite to this
martyred edifice, at the termination of Church-lane,
stands the ne-..; facade of St. Andrew's church, a solid
and unornamented MASS Iredis ind,gestaque makes) of
stone-work. It is, hawever, surmounted by a figure of
St. Andrew bearing his cross. The archite& is said to
be a good Protestant ; but the knowing ones in the
Frish suspva him of being heterodox, and that he
his imposed a St. Peter ups' them instead of S:.
Andrew. A violent combustion has of course taken
Face ; and the poor Saint is in danger of a second
martyrdom.
Some of the Public Prints lately asserted, that the
banditti who robbed Farmer Walsh, on the nrun-
tains, placed him on a hot griddle, to extort a con-
frssion where he had concealed his money. We are
now happy to be able to contradia so foul a libel
on the national charaCter ; no such aft of cruelty
having been committed.

LIBERTY OF THE SUBJECT.

At two o'clock, yesterday afternoon, Mr. Dow-
ling, 'a mpeiable 7cutn of 19, who has been some
sir e employed as Librarian, at Creighton's Library,
'I a. istack-street. Covent-Garden, was seized behind
the counter of his employer, by a pressgang ; who,
upon the sole authority of a false and anonymous
letter, which they exhibited and read, as their war-
rant, charged him with being a deserter from the
Navy, being many years bred to the sea, and a pro-
fligate, whom his fri-nds desired to be rid of ; and,
in spite of all remonstrance, and positive denial that
ever he had been a week at sea in his late, they drag-
ged him through the streets, to the Tower, and hur-
ried him on board the Ea seprire tender, where he
still remains confined.
The youth's rather, wheresides in Lincoln's-inn
Fields, went yesterday evening on board, to require
the liberation of his son ; and gave every assurance,
that his son bad never been a seek at sea in his life;
that he had been f. .r i-ighteen manths past a Volart-
t:rr in the Royal 'sVestmii,ster Regiment; that he
had never been Inns: under his own immediate eye,
nor slept a night out of his house, since he was an
