LONDON, AUGUST 7,18 oz.

\V this morning received Paris Journals of the
`3cl instant, by the French Post, and likewise a
Msnite:ir of the 4.th insant, which was brought
by an Express. The latter is more 'important
than the French journals have been for some time.
It contains
the • ..;',.(l:lress of Senate to BONA-
P ART E, on his being chosen Chief Consul for Life;
the Seisatas,Consultum on this important occasion,
and the Answer of the First Consul. These will
be found highly interesting. This great ceremony
took place at a Public Auilience. on Tuesday
last, on which day a number of English—Noble-
roen and Gentlemen were presented to ;he Chief
Consul. On the isth instant the Ssvatus Can-
stili4m is to be proclaimed in every Department
in France, and the day is particularly to he
celebrated as that of the Anniversary of .the
Birth of BONAPARTE, of.the,Signature of Ole
,Con..
cordat, and of the promulgation of, this event.=
It is, peiltaps, worthy of remark, that in the
Circular Letter to the Prefeets, the 041 style is re.
sorted to on this occasion. It leads us to hope,
that BONAPARTE Me4nS to drop the Gi.psy-jauqn
of the Revolution altogether, a measure which, we
will confes, will add touch to our opinion of
.his
good sense. _ _

The French Funds still continue to decline : on
the 31, the 5 per Cent. Fund was at 53. 5.

We have just heard of ati affair of much delicacy,
on which we should not presume to speak, were it
not the, subjc:c.t of conversation. Some time ago
Laly AUGUSTA MUltlirlY went to Lisbon, to the
DUKE :)IP,SEX, who would not receive her, and
the P'artugueze Government forced tier to return.—
His Royal Highness has become deeply enamoured
of one of the Daughters of the QUEEN of PORTUGAL,
whose family encourage his passion, proud at the
idea of an alliance with the Royal Family of Great
11ritain. The serious difficulty in the way is religion.
His Royal Highness must either become a goman
Catholic, Qr the Princess must become a Protestant,
,The reports on this subject we cannot repeat ; but
:pie fanatics of Portugal exult in the expectation of
making a convert to the Catholic Church of a per-
sonage so illustrious. A Gentleman, Mr. FRERE,
we understand, is on his way to Weymouth, to state
the affair to His MAJFVFY, who, after the disa-
gt eeable e xplosion occasioned by' the Catholic Ques-
tion, when the late Ministers retired, must now
,feel regret at the revival of the subject.—Ybrning

The Rev. Dr. VINCENT was this. forenoon in-
stalled Dean of the .Collegiate Church of West_
minster, and' we most heartily Congratulate the
M fmbcrs of that venerable Church, on Mr.AnDING-
Tox's dikernment in giving them a- Superior who
has dohe honour 'to every situation he has already
If sound Learning, unaffe&ed Piety, and a
uniform regard to the Moral; Social, and Relative
.Duties, are recommendations' to Ecclesiastical Dig_
nities, surely Dr. VINCENT'S claims to attention
may be ranked in the first class.
Ita must be ackuowledged that Mr. ADDING rON,
in, his various appointments to the great Preferments
in the Church, has sheirn a decided preference to
cha.ras:-ter and abilities.

The Rev. Dr. WINGF !ELM is appointed Head
r Maste of Westminster School, on 'the Rev. Dr.
VINCENT'S being promoted to the Deanery Of West_
minsrer ; and the Rev. Mr. PAGE, -of Christ
.Church, Oxford, is appointed Second Master, in,
the room Of Dr. WINGF I EI,D.
Yesterday sennight, ihe 'Right Reverend
.}-113 NT I NGFORD, Bishop of Gloucester, was en(hron-
ed, by proxy, in Gloucester Cathedral, with the
usual ceremonies.‘ The proxy was the Rev. Mr.
.SURTEES, the Prebendary in Residence.
The death of Earl GROSVENOR will cause a va.
cancy in the Representation for the- city of Chester,
in consequence of Lord BEIGRAVE, one of :its Re-
presentatives, becoming a Peer by that event.
Mr. Bußbok having been returned Member for
Durham County, free of expellee, and in 'So inde-
'endent a manner, is an honourable testimony of his
writ and highly creditable to his Constituents.
Mr, BARRINGTON, who .is S 0 far beliind the
other Candidates op the Poll ft;r the City of Dublin,
probably t,l4ves his defeat to 'the isupport of Mr.

Mr. G 1 F FARD, who so properly objected to the
Vote of Mr.•GRATTAN, in Dublin, has made him-
selfjobno4ious to ail the disaffetted people of that
city, and we may venture to predict, thai as long as
there are 'Vrattors in Ireland, that Gentleman will
be one of the first ol.jettts of !heir resentment.

iion he will fill there, is not yet ascertained.

4.he reports of the non-capture of the .Forchei,

Focnrs of her capture carpe from Bourdeaux, where
