AT a very late hoer last night we received Paris.
Papers to the.2oth:ult. The most important article
they-contain is *Decree which BUONAPARTE has
issued, in consequence of our Orders in Council :
it was sigtl6l",by him on the 17th, at Milan, and
published on the .2.4t11 at Paris. After stating that
the Orders in Council published by the 4titish Go-
vernment had denationalized the Ships of every Eu-
ropean Nation, it declares titat every Vessel that
shall' touch at any Port in England, that shall .sutler
itself 'to' be seatthed by any. English Ship, or that
shail.pay any Tax, to the I.lritish Government, steal
be deemed to have forfeited its Flag, and to become
good and lawful prize, being considered as English
property.—These violent measures are resorted to,
t is said, ottlY as a just mt.-illation for the torturous
prattitesi of the English., It. is evident that the
• Orders it) C4uncil respeting the Trade of Neutrals
has enraged littoNAraeti... bey9pd all bounds, •and
• has induced him to issue a Decree which will be
produttive of the most injurious consequences, not
only to the.et.opicof France', .but to all the Nations
of the Continent .of:Ettrope. Indeed the'rrench
Minister of the "Interior. acknowledgei the great
. privations and .sacrifices which must be submitted to
in consequence of this,Deeree.int:luii

the
the People to srnitluietly a
hope that their ltardships will only be temporary.

These Papers also Contain an account of the
Emigration of the Royal Family of Portugal, and
the- entry of the French Troops into Lisbon,
The la,tter event,, it appears, was attended with
a miracle, for, a few hours before the arrival of
the 'French' there •I'eas an earthquake, which was
succeeded by a violent tempest ; but the moment
the French Troops catered the City, the war of

from the coast of
.Frauce, and which had inforriA-
tion from Charante and. 4ourdeaux, down to the
.10th ult. bringsEhowever, nothing new or import•
ant, excepta repetition of the -report that BL'ONA-
PA,ItTR intended to repudiate his present wife, with
this addition, that the person destined to be his fu.
cure Consort is sister of the EMPEROR of ityssln•
The repudiated wife, it is said, after the divorce, is
to be desigtmted merely as queen Dowager Olt*.

'rile reason alledged for tins intention of 13trolA-
PARTA is, that he may have a chance of heirs to hi
Empire, Madame BrAtitiARNOLS being past the up
that—might affind hitu•any 'hope in that respeCt. If
there be any truth in this story, the probability is,
that be rather wishes to prop the succesiion. of his
Family to the Throne of France by a new alliance.
,Indeed there may be soma foundation Or this story,

as most of the great designs of BUONAPARTE, re-
skeaing the elevation of his Family, have been an..
nounced before they happened, even when they
prediAed events of the host incredible description.
The same American Vessel wrings, rumours that.,
BUONAPARTE has atinally offered the Crown
Spain to his brother Lucius, unwilling that any Of;
his Family should hold a subordinate rank in life;`
and that the PRINCE of AsTuatxs, by way of
coMpensation, is. to have the Throne of Portugal..
But it is thought that more important movements
are going forward, as, since the beginning of last
month, 'upwards of Lso,Ouci Troops have been
marcl:ed to Spain and Portugal; and so considerable
an 4rmy must greatly exceed any force that might
be wanted for the mere buSiness of disposing of
thdse Countries, according to the will of the .lretich
Ruler. .
