the hope of peace.—journatdes Debats.
Letters from Upsal, of the 22d of April, state,
that the celebrated Professor of Astronomy, Prim-
perian, tied there last week. lie was a Member

belonged to many other learned societies.

MAY V..
The First Consul gave audience yesterday to
the Foreign Ambassadors —lt was remarked that
the English Ambassador was not present.
We are much puzzled here to explain the motives
that can have induced the Bees of Egypt to appoint
an Ambassador Extraordinary to the Court of Lon-
don.—We are at a loss to discover by what tight
a province tributary to the Ottoman Empire can
pretend to have itself represented at the Court of a
foreign Power by an Ambassador ; neither can we
see by what right or under what pretext, a foreign,
Power can admit Ambassadors of sach a nature.
The Duke of Bedford arrived here on Thursday
evening, with a numerous suite. His kavin7., Eng-
land at the present conjuneture, was looked upon
there as indicative of peace, and whenever his jour-
ney was mentioned, it was observed that he would
not set out until the discussions between France and
England had assumed a charaCter perfealy pacific.
We cannot say how far the Duke of Redford may be
initiated in the mysteries of Diplomacy, but it is
feasible that he is led merely by his own opinion.
We arc informed by Letters from the coast of
Flanders, that four English ships of war have lately
appeared off the mouth of the Scheldt.
We are assured that Cardinal Fesch, Archbishop
of Lyons, is appointed Ambassador from the lie-
public to the Papal Court, and that Mr. Chateau-
Briant is to accompany him as his Secretary of Le-
gation.
M. Mechain, DireCtor of the Observatory at
Paris, and M. Lechevalier, Member of the Aca-
demies of Gottenguen and Edinburg, have lately.
set out from hence for the Balearian Islands, for
the purpose of prosecuting some geographical pro-
jab, respecting a measuring of the Meridian.
