The following is said to be the Answer of 'the
Esse attest of RUSSIA,' to a Letter from Lours the
XVIII. communicating the new plan which the
latter is supposed to have entertained for the reco-
very of his Kingdom. It hai beet., inserted in the
Dutch Papers, but it has all the appearance of French
fabrication :
" MONSEIGNEUR LE COMTE,
" By your Letter, dated the 1311 i June, from
Warsaw, I have learned, with regret, the resolu.
tion which you have adopted. Had I been previ.
nusly apprized of it, as I much wish I had, my
friendship for you, and my usual sincerity of dispo.
sition, would have impelled me, Monseigneur Le
Comte, to dissuade you from measures, which, at
the present crisis, far frOrn being produdive of
,any
real advantage to you, can hive no other tendency
than to 'put new weapons in the hands of your 'Erie.
pies, to be employed against you, and enable them
to render the accomplishment of your plans .still
more difficult than it airea'dy is. Without pretend.
ing, in Other reveals, to interfere in matters which ,
do not immediately. concern me, I must nevertheless,
observe, that I cannot, Monseigneur Le Comte,
'give my approbation to the 'proposal which. you
have communicated to me ; and I ought'not tO 'con.
ceal frOrn you, that the, offer which 'I made to.you,
and llereby repeat, of affording you an asylum in
my doMinions, if you could not reside elsewhere, '
was made, with no othei intention than that of fur.
niching you with.* secure and tranquil'abodei.in
which such. projetis as you appear to have retolved
Upon canstot he Carried'into execution. I have felt
myself bound, Monseigneur Le Comte,. to express •
myself upon this topic without any reserve, being
assured, that neither the impossibility of executing,
your resolution in Russia, nor the point of view
in which consider the sub-feet, can induce you .to
call in question my earnest desire to embrace every
opportunity of giving your repeated demonstrations
of the particular 'esteem with which I am, tec.".

Remittances from America never came more
slowly. In the Southern American States the failure
of the crops has left the Planters and Merchants
without means to satisfy the demands of their credi.
tors in this country.—The laws of the American "!
States 'are, however, much too favourable to debtors
willing to , defraud their cretiiturti. A man who
'awes mote than he cliuses to pay, in America, may
transfer his property, by a secret assignment, to
some confidential friend, suffer himself to be laid in
prison for debt, then after a few days imprisonment,
swear that he has nothing in the world with which
to satisfy his creditors, come out 'of prison free from'
any claims, resume the property of which he bad
made a trust transfer, -and renew his business a
richer man titan before.

CORONATION OF BONAPARTE.

Tl fullowing Particulars are given by a Gentie.
matt who was present, in a Letter dated December

to :

" I had a most excellent view of the whole Pro.
cession at Mts. 13.'s daughter's*, in Laßue St. Ho-
nore, and must confess it was grand, beyond 'any
thing I Over saw. The grand sight at the Peace
was but a mere puppet-show io it. The Pope Came
by exaaly at .nine o'clock, as - was announced ; he
was in a carriage which the-Empress had lent him
for the day, or at least as long as he wants it fur
ceremonies. I saw his Efoliness very plain ; a
foolish Nita: of a Priest before him, carrying a cross,
seated on a mule, made much fun for the Parisians
-the poor fellow was hatless, in the most bitter cold
that could be,conceived ; the cold was so intense,
that some of the Soldiers aaually dropped down in
fits, having been exposed to the' air from three in
the. morning, without any refreshment. The Ein.
.peror was not so puklual, he did not . come for.
ward till past eleven o'clock ; his carriage .Was
superb in the highest degree; not that heavy clump
that charaaerises your Lord Mayor's coach, but
elegantly grand ; eight creain.coloured horses, de.
corated in- a new, style of elegance, excited the tad.
miration of all, the spectators. These horses, I un-
derstand, ate Gorr Cousin's, taken froM the stud be.
longing formerly to the King of England;al Hano.
vtr, and the same breed as his. From the arrival
of the Pope to that of the Emperor; a space of two
honrs, there was a continued 'sucCedsion of Troops;
the Cavalty all gallopped. Some Reginierits of Cui-
rassiers, or men in half armour, ,pasta beautiful ef.
feet ; •and a Regiment of Marnelukes on horseback
,preceded His Majesty at a little distance. I ob.
`served it was a strange medley, to see. Turks in a
Procession on a religious ceremony, and in connexion
with His Holiness ;*but was informed that those
Mamelukes were all Catholics, I had a fine view
of the Emperor, who bowed as be went, though
not a soul cried Itive L'Empereur 4 In the evening
Mrs. B. and I went to the Thuilleries, to see the
cavalcade return by the light of 500 torches. , The
coachmen and footmen of the carriages had all white
silk stockings, with clocks, embroidered with gold
and spangles, which had a wonderful grand effect
au:tight, as, reflected by the lamps and
,torcles,
you could see them. glitter.
" The next day (Monday) was devoted to the
People, and they were permitted to ramble at large
in search of various amusements, which were. ap.
pointed in all parts, to prevent them assembling in
one place. At .the Place de Concorde, between
the Thuilleries and Champ Eliseo,- they.sent up six
Balloons : the first was a small 'gilt one, about as
big as a coach body ; it went off with astonishing
velocity, and was imperceptible in three minutes.
Afterwards a large one was sent up abouta quarter
as big as GAR N X. IN'S ; there Was an immense large
golden eagle fastened' o the bottom of it where the
car should be ; it had .a very pretty effea; it was
accompanied by four small ones, which had the ap.
pearance of melons ; from each extremity proceeded
a amoke, which very soon burst' into a flame, and,
conaoraedthem all. The large one, 'with the eagle,
went to an immense height ; but at laSt took fire
(deaignedly, ro*ti.oallt)..-and when burnt, the eagle

mit the public gratis, to see how the church was 4e,
eorated at the time of the most august ceremony. Jr
is in a style of Majestic grandeur, that strikes the
mind with awe. The middle aisle, from. the great
door.to the altar, is fitted up,. on both sides with
thtee tier of boxes, in a theatrical style, hung with
crimson and gold; between the 'tier of boxes, arc
large eagles in gold, de distance en di:lama. The
Pope's chair, or -throne, was on the left side of. the
san.luary near the altar; it is elegantly neat, white
satin, embroidered with stars cigar metal."

The TREASURES of the GRAND SEIGNIOR.,

The Pages of the fourth and last chamber; called
the Treasure Chamber, have the exclusive charge,
under the orders of the Chief of the Black Eunuchs,
of the 'preservation and accounts of all the treasures
which are concealed in the Seraglio. The custom
is, that each Grand Seignior appropriates, during
his reign; a treasury chaMber, in which he deposits
all the riches he accumulates from year to year. At
the end of each year his Keisler.Aga (or Chief of
the Black Eunuchs) makes an inventory of all the
purses which have been filled, shuts them up in a
coffer, and the Grand Seignior comes himself in
state, and affixes his seal thereon. 4t the death of
each Grand Seignior, the treasury chamber is closed,
and sealed with the seal of the Grand Vizier, . and
alt the great Officers of the Seraglio, and over the
door of the Chamber is placed, in letters of-gold.,
the following inscription : " In this as the treoure
P,,f- Sultan." The more the Sultan has amass
ed, the more they believe his reign to have been
happy and fortunate. They pretend that this. Sera-
glio contains immense- riches, of which the Reader
may form some idea, when he 'learns that it is a
great calamity which can in4ke, them draw upon the
treasures of their Predecessors. It is the custom of
the Turks to regard, as sacred, the rights of the
srragiio, which cannot, or ought not, to be cm.,
ployed but in the last extremity. A Sultan of
Constantinople will- procure money by the most
atrocious exactions, rather than break in upon the
treasures amassed by his ancestors. ,

Last Wednesday evening a Gentleman was butt.
led in kleet-strect, near the corner of Chancery.
tone, by six genteel dressed villains, and rubbed of a
valuable gold hunting watch. A coal-heaver acci.
dently pasting at the time, anti who saw the trans -
aCtion, told the Gentleman he knew them all ; that
one had been about five years ago east for death, and
that two of them had but lately returned from 80.
tiny aty. 'the. Gentleman being obliged to re.; off
for Bath the next morning, declined making any
application to the Police Office, of course these dar.
ing fellows will, for the p-resent, escape the punish.
merit due to their crimes.

Yesterday 35 prisoners were removed from the
different gaupa in the -rnetrOpolia to Newgaie, in
order to take their trials at the ensuing Sessions,

ing at the Swan, in Swan-yard, when the Defendant
entered the room, and after being there some time,
a quarrel arose respeeting 11:e male. The Defend.

at him, and stating tot hd would indid him far an
assault, the Defendant eanght,hold of it, gild bit it
severely.

A defence wad set up; that Smthtvolti willingly
put hi's finger in %Irestern's mouth to have it

TheCHATRAtAiT, iii pronouncing sentence, re:.
Marked, that this was a prosecution arising from a
diffetenbe which had arisen between the parties
while wotking at lite •shop of Mr,; Carr, a boot_
maker. He did' nut look on it merely as a personal
assault, but .as an assault of a public nature, which.
was aggravated by its having. atiSen from. an un.,
lawful, outragious, and criminal combination against
the Prosecutor, who was averse to'the abominable.
plans adopted 'by that combination. Jr would be
the especial duty of the 'Court to pass on the. D.
fendaint an ext;toplary.sentence to pot a stop to that
collibin4ott,' which he (die Chairman) was
ful was still going on, and hoped this would in some
degree put, a stop.to it.. The Defendant Was stn..
teneed to be imprisoned three months.

Michael Plow-land was indicted fur assaulting Mr
Maurice, of the Navy Coffee-liouse, and,Mr,
.a tradesman, in.Nov.streer, COventlardeni on the
2 Ist- of Angola. .
The' PilioUer :is a Patrole of the Parish of Sr;
Martin in the Fields ; the. Prosecutor the keeper of
the Navy Coffee; house, in Newcastle-street, and aN
Officer in the Royal Westminster Volunteers ; the
Cause of complaint arose, as came out in evidence,
as follows :

Mr. Maurice and Mr. Bolt having dined with a,
selea party of the Corps, were returning by way of
,St. Martin's-lane and New.street, home, aboue
eleven at night, when at the door of a gin-sliop;
the corner of New-street,
_they were bluckaded by'
two men, of whom Nowlancl waa one, who wholly
obstruted their passing, and, on their pressing tor.
ward; Nowland struck Butt two or three titnts, and
then closed to and struck Mr. Ntiurice, wh,,m he
felled to the ground under him, and, while he lay,
there, kicked him to ge, him up Again. At length,
some assistance.canse, and all concerned were con_
vexed to the watch-house.

vlr. Maurice, Mr. Butt, Mr. Mlody, and a Mr.
Johnson, proved this case most clearly and the
defence went to the justification entered un the re.:
cord, that the Plaintiff h.dd committed the first as.
sdult, by. striking Nowland 'in :he execution of hi's
duty ; but Cher evidenoe did not by any Means beat
out the ingenious plea of the Cwristl. -
The CHAIRMAN summed up briefly, in the course
Of which he. made some very, se vsqe. anim ,:ivcrtzioas
on the tondun of certain Dvuty Offiet!rs, eat role,',

Prisoner. -

The Jury found the Prisoner guilty.
The., im CHAta.,iarkii sked ttlat lie lbe

The CHAT RM AN then observed, that the Officers
of Sr. Martin's ought to feel.it an imperioul du;y
to discharge this watchman, and reform the Watch.
hnuse.keeper's conduo. If their returns were
amined at times, it. wunl:.: be f,tiod of grcac public.

MANS ioralotisis.—A. young waggoner of the
name of Hugh Carpenter, was yesterday brought
before.the LORD MAYOR, on a Charge of having
driven his' team against a .Gentleman's one-Wise
chaise, to the imminent danger of the life of the
servant in it. One of the Police Officers happening
to pass by' at the instant, the man rushed up to the
bead of 'the fill.horse, and.pre_vented the fatal ac-
cident. In consequence of this miseondud of the
driver, it.'.was thOught expedient to apply to his
master,, a few days afterwards, 'that he might no
longer expose paisengera to such perilous situations:
When the proprietor of the
,waggon. was resorted to,
he said, the lad was dismissed his service, and he
believed tile young man was gone to sea. . The
aver _not.being,satioladory to hia Lordship, a war,
rant was issued to apprehend the waggoner, who was
taken with the team in the morning:
The; witnesses having stated.. the circumstances,
