EXTRACT, OF A LF.TTEA FROM PARIS, JUNE 25.
" Sunday zoth instant, BONAPARTE received at
the Thuilleries, the visit of the Cardinal el Latere,
and a very considerable number of BiShops who
attended his Eminence, to be present at his taking
the oaths before the First Consul. The ceremony
was concluded with great solemnity, but no pomp.
"In the list of those who voted against the Con-
sul's being eleded for life, the name of CARNOT
was the first and the most remarkable ; his friends and
probably himself, thought he had voted his .pro-
scription, but BONAPARTE has not yet manifested
any opinion respeding CARmyr's conduct, and
seems to treat it either with indifference or con_
tempt —perhaps both—it required, however, no
common force of mind to write a Non, where every
one had recorded a thei, or by silence tacitly con-
sented.

"Gen. M'DONALD is going to many the beau.
tiful widow of General Jou BERT, who was killed
at the Battle of Novi.

" The Minister TALLEYRAND is much indisposed,
and of course the affairs in his Department are
transaled with great difficulty and delay.
" The 14. th of July is fixed upon as a day of gene_
ral rejoicing—it is not only the Anniversary of the
Federation, but it will be particularly marked as a
Fete in honour of the general Peace, and oithe
inauguration of NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, Consul
for life. Great preparations are making, and the
stritest orders are given that every thing should be
concluded with great regularity. In the Place de
Carousal, which is before the Palace, a number of
people are employed to clear away the ruins of some
houses which have been lately pulled down, and
the upper part of the great gates, and the symbols of
the French Republic are to be re-gilt."

At the close of Saturday 'sisoll for Bridge-masters,
the numbers were—Mr. GALABIN 2190 ; Mr.
MARRIOTT 1469; Mr. YEOWARD 1339.
The hope Packet was last week seized at Ports-
mouth, for having landed French Passengers from
Havre, without first reporting them at the Custom-
House, ccutformable to a late Aft of Parliament.

The King and Queen of PRUSSIA have arrived
at Memel, where they are waiting the arrival of
the Emperor- of RUSSIA.
A female Prophet has appeared lately in the
Dutchy of Wurtemberg, where, after having as-
sembled a multitude of dupes, who sold their pro..
perty, and deposited it in her hands for the pur-
pose of providing subsistence, they proceeded on
their way to Jerusalem. In a short time she per-
formed a great miracle, by suddenly vanishing with
a young fellow, and all the funds of her followers.
The holy troop have been reduced to the necessity
of begging their way home to their country,

RIGA, JULr 6.

YESTERDAY noon His Majesty the EMPEROR Of
RUSSIA arrived here with his train. On his whole
journey, the joy expressed by his Subjects to see
their beloved Monarch, was universal, but especially
here at Riga, where the roads were throrged with
such a prodigious concourse of people, that the car-
riages could proceed,but very slowly. At the entrance
of the suburb, the multitude, with loud acclama-
, tions, stopped His Majesty's carriage, took out
the*borses, and would not desist from their entrea-
ties till they were permitted to draw it. In this
manner the Monarch arrived at the Palace at Riga
about two o'clock. All the streets, squares and
windows were filled with joyful spectators, who
incessantly shouted '1 Long live ALEXANDER!" In
the evening the Opera of Lodoiska was performed at
the Theatre, at which the EMPEROR was present;
when on His Majesty's entrance into his box,
he was., saluted with the loudest and most joyjul
.
acclamations by the whole audience. Before the
overture, some verses suited to the occasion were
sung by the performers, accompanied by the orches-
tra, to the'air of the well-known English popular
anthem, "God save the King," in which the whole
house joined with enthusiasm ; after which the
tdress Madame MEYER, delivered a short address
to the Monarch. On his entrance into the Theatre
he was received by a number of young maidens,
the daughters of Citizens of distinaion, all uni-
formly dressed, who strewed flowers before him :
one of them presented him with a bouquet and some
verses. After the Play, His MAJESTY honoured
With his presence a splendid Ball, given by one of
the principal Magistrates, where I-lls MAJESTY
danced with several Ladies, without distindion of
rank, and charmed all present with his obliging
condescension. In the evening the whole City was
splendidly illuminated.
It is now certain, thatHisla.PERIAL MAJESTY
proposes annually to visit and inspea some Pro-
vinces of his Empire. This year he has chosen,
besides some in the interior, those which adjoin to
the States of His PRUSSIAN MAJESTY ; and as the
latter Sovereign is coining to Prussia to the cus-
tomary reviews, the two Monarchs will have an in-
terview at Altmil, which however has only for its
object a personal acquaintance.

VIENNA, Ju 9.

THE ARCHDUKE CHARLES has had a severe at-
tack of illness at Presburg, in consequence of which
his own Physician has been sent fur express.

The 800 banditti who have made an incursion
into Wallachia, have been reinforced by 5000
repulsed the Troops of the Hospodar, and the armed
servants and vassals of the Boyars, and spread alarm
and terror through Wallachia, which is now com-
pletely in their power. The Hospodar has fled from
the Capital, Bucharest, whence the Austrian Con-
sul has likewise removed into Transylvania, and
the Russian to the Moldaw.

These banditti do not belong to the Troops of
PASWAN OGLU ; but the whole invasion of this
Province is direCted by him : 20,000 Turkish
Troops are now on their march against him. The
banditti make a great booty in Wallachia.

The KING of SARDINIA arrived at Rome on the
22d of last month, with his whole suite, escorted by a
detachment of Pontifical Dragoons. He alighted at
the Palace Colonna, where every preparation had
been made to receive him, and where a Guard of Ho-
nour attended, with colours flying, and drums beat-
ing. Next day His Majesty repaired to the Quirinal
Palace, where the whole Secret Chamber were as-
sembled, and where he was received by His Holi-
ness with every demonstration of the tenderest
friendship. The day after, His Holiness returned
the visit to His Majesty. Scarcely had the Holy
Father alighted from his carriage, when His Majesty
attempted to kiss his feet, but His Holiness raised
him up, and hastened with him into his apartment,
where he had a long conversation with His Majesty..
Letters from the Cape of Good Hope, under date
of the 12th of April state, that adv- ices had reached

stined to take possession of the Cape had been un-
avoidably -protraaed ; and it was therefore the
general opinion that the British forces would not be
relieved before the month of 'Dauber.
