GR AND FETE.

JAN. 7.—The Marshals of the EMpire gave yes.
tetchy it grand Fete to Her Majesty the Empress,
which she was pleased to accept as a testimony of
their homage. The Saloon of the Opera was chosen
for the occasion. This Theatre of enchantments,
of magical delusion, was never more splendidly de.
corated than in this instance, when all that was be.
fore ihepradudion of magic, was attually realized.
The Saloon was arranged as on the days of
,a
.ball
hut in other respeCts was scarcely to be recognized.
All the boxes were ornamented with splendid dra.
very, and each tier in a different manner. Elegant
colonnades and rich candelabras formed their separa.
'ion ; at each of them a crown of flowers descended
to the heads of the Ladies that were to be present.
Garlands and festoons united the crowns together ;
the draiwry was here interspersed with stars ; there
the Imperial eagle spread its wings over an immense
range, and the initials of NArotropt and Joss.
YHINii every where presented themselves to view.
The acting represented the starry firmament; and
the brilliant lustre of the lights, and of the diamonds
of the Ladies, was reflected from mirrors artfully
disposed in must of the boxes ; two armchairs
were placed for their Majesties at the upper extre.
mity of the Saloon.

on Nev Year's-day the Counsellor of State,
LA6II: E paid a visit to the &ale Pa&teenier, and
on that occasion received the Oath of Allegiance
to the Emperor from the Pupils. We hear, how.
crier, 'OP one of them refused to take the Oath,
viledging, among other reasons, the sacrifice of his
Father at the shrine of Liberty. This youth was
the Son of the famous Ba issor, who lost his life
Linder the yoke of the Convention. The Counsel.
for cif State has not only expelled this obstinate boy
from the School, but also placed him in a state of
confinement.

%ILL IN, JAN. t.--For 1101,1 C time pasta report
has been in circulation here, that a `Treaty of -.job:
iidy is in agitation between Great Britain and
Sweden, but which 11.1 been attended with diilicul.
ies. It is now said, that our Court 1131 tatted

ohjeaions, though in amicable terms, to the
c!.uclusion of a Treaty of that nature, The. Cor.
don .of Austrian Troops drawn along. the Italian
Frontiers, and to inspect which General MActt.
said to have set off front Vienna,, consists, accord_
ing to report, of 0,006 men. Whatever may be the
objet of this Cordon, with regard to the epitleniy,r
one cannot forbear suspeding that it has also some.
connettion with the Negotiations carrying on be-
tween France and Naples ; especially as the French
Troops are marching towards that kingdom. A.
cording to Letters from Vienna, of Dec. 26, the
Austrian Ambassador, Court Cone NTZ aL, at Paris,
has.requested to be recalled.
''CAIRO, Nov.2.—Three thousand aimanlis, an
marching out Of-Cairo, were attacked and defeated
at the Bridge of Faioum by the •Atabs and Mame.
lukes unite 4 A second detachmelir, e_:nosed
most entirely of Albanians, was to have
under the command oa lAHoisir.T Aes _inwards
Upper Egypt ; but on news oldie detect of these
3000 Osreanlis, fear overcame then), and they rte.
mained in the city. Five hundred Albanians have
deserted to the Mamelukes, with the Aga, who,
kept up a correspondence With theist. Feats were,
entertained that they would besiege Alexandja.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 20.•--Count
SKY, the Russian Ambassador, has lately had a long
Conference with the RE rs EFFENDI, in all proba-
bility on the subjeft of the present state of the
lonian Islands, and that of the Russian Troops
which are at present there. It. has been reprted
that Russian Troops were about to he disembarked
on the Turkish Territory ; but this has been con.
tradiled, as well by ;he Ministry, as the Russian
Ambassador.

Nov. 3a—The Russian Court leaves •nothing
unattempted to 'reinforce' the Garrison of Corfu in
a most formidable manner. On- the'ziph instant, a
Russian Frigate, with several Transports, having
800 men on boardfor Corfu, again arrived here. If
any credit may be given to the assertion of. the crews,
a body of Troops from Sebastopoli will be dispatched.
,thither before. the winter commences. ,Some days
since the Spanish Ambassador received intelligence
of the commencement of hostilities between Spain
and England, and immediately communicated this
event to the Porte. It has occasioned a strong sen.
sation in the Divan; and it is thought will be pro-
duElive of some alteration in the line of politics
hitherto pursued by the Porte.
CoNSTANTINoPLE, DEC. 4.—The Usurper, Is.
watt. PACHA, is still in possession of Acre. He
lately pretended a wish to treat for an accommoda-
tion with IBRAHIM PACHA,. who unfortunately re.
ied on the sincerity of his propoaitiona ; but at a
moment when least expeCted, Is set, made a sally,
attacked the Troops of IBRAHIM in flank, and beat
them back with great loss.
MADRID, DEC. 19.—By an Order of the Go.
vernment, there is to he drafted a Company of
Grenadiers from every Regiment of Spanish In.
fantry, for the purpose of forming them into sepa.
rate Battalions of Grenadiers, to be employed in
the most dangerous expeditions. lostruaions to
that tired have already been addressed to all the
Commanders of Regiments. Many of these Batta-
lions are to be formed near this Capital, and it is
supposed that imined;ately after their organisation
they will be marched to the Camp at St. Roch. At
the same time a general recruiting will take plaCe,
to complete, as soon as pwsible, the National
Regiments, which are., l-arJrom having the number
of men required in• .of Peace by the Royal
Edils.

DECRMEIA 22.-A report ha 3 been circulated
here, but which is as yet destitute of certainty,
that Admiral NitLsorr had made an attack on Port
Mahon, after disembarking .a Corps of Troops to
second his operations.

Soldiers have been put in the houses of the Eng.
lish Consuls in the Ports of Biscay and Gallicia.
Intelligence has been received, that Mr. FRERR,
late English Ambassador at the Court of Spain, had
sailed from Lisbon for London.

CADIZ. DEC, 21.-. On the rsth, an English
Cutter of t z guns, carried into Gibraltar a Spanish
Vessel from America. The Fever has subsided at
Algesiras; the same is said to be the case at Gib.
Misr.

SCHIEDAM, JAN. I 1.-A serious dispute hap-
pened last week at Antwerp, between a parry of
American and Spanish sailors; and the latter mis-
taking the farmer for English, a warm contest en-
sued; and, before order could be restored, three had
been killed and several wounded.

JAN. Is.--Oar Commission of State from Paris
is expeCted in the Hague to-morrow. On the 6th,
they had their audience of leave of the Emperor ;
and on the Toth they were to leave Paris. Nothing
is as yet known with certainty of the return of
either M. SCHIMMELPINNINCK, or the General in
Chief MARMON?.

JAN. zB.--Count VON LIIIKOORFF, the Secre.
tarn of the Prussian Legation, has left the nape
for St. Petersburgh, to take 'upon himself the pOst of
Charge di Adfairrs at the Russian Court.
Count VON KELLER. formerly Minister of the
King of Prussia to their High Mightinesses the
States General of the United Provinces, is also at.'
rived in the Hague.
HAGUP, JAN. 15.—On the second, the Funds, at
Paris, experienced a great depression, which was
chiefly attributed to a report circulated on 'Change,
that a warm dispute had taken place between the
Emperor and the Roman Imperial Ambassador,
Count COBENTZIL, in which the preparatives to a
new war were discovered. This intelligence is,
however, not to be depended on.
According to Letters from Vienna, of Dec. 26,
the Austrian Ambassador, Count COBENTZKL, at
Paris, has requested to be mailed ; and it is said,
that Count STADION, who fills the post of Imperial
Ambassador at St. Petersburg!), will succeed Count
COBINTZEL al Paris, and Count MRTTERN telt be
removed from Berlin to St. Peterfiburgh. Ocher
letters from Vienna, of the same rime, mention,
that, notwithstanding the marching of Troops from
all goners, there was every assurance that the
Courts of Vienna, St. Petersburgh, and Berlin, were
of one' opinion as to the preservation of I'CACe on
the Continent, and in the maintenance of which
they would aft in concert.

FROM 'THE' NEtIUR ELBE, JAN.
chi ty, WS received here from Patisi is ot,e circum
vioce wlii;:h seems tube of itivort3nce ; nimely„
that the POPE has been authorised to invite those
French Bi.,hops who, in the first, years ,:f the R,wo-
lotion, had tki(en the oath then prescribed, to 3bkire
said oath in a formal manner : they halie all ric-
cepted, this invitation. SAURINE, once :October of
the National Convention, and now Bishop of the
Department of the Uprr and Lower R6ior, only
opprsed it; but at length found it convenient to
give way.

The Poltr, has made several Other demands, but
which have been attended with less success ; among
these waS the restitution of the Ecclesiasticai proper-
ty. Jr is also said, that he has made a fruitless at-
tempt f:)r the restoration, of the Jesuits in France.
In the kingdom of Naples, however, this Older is
p.!,tking daily advances under the King's protenion.
liesides the house devoted to religious exercises,
His Majesty has presented them with three others
`in the Cap:rsl. There are already too of these
Ecelesiasticl here, sod a of their Disciples.
M4Dr:ID, DF;C. 6.—lt is a custom in Spain tb
number the people immediately after the close of
harvest. It has also been done this year, but with
a mist lamentable issue, since it appears that, within
twelve months, no less than a million of.our people
have been carried off by the epidemy anti other
sicknesses, earthquakes, and poverty ; end thus,
dreadful to say, one.tenth of the population!.
Since the appearance of Admiral NE L;oN off Ear-
celona, great apprehensions ate entertained for Mi.
norca. This Island, which is in a weak state of
defence, would be an important conquest to the Eng-
lisp; the bare consideration of which is sufficient to
_aw;dczn one's fears, particularly as the fortifications
of Mahon have been razed, and the Garrison at most
consists of no more than i,OOO men.
MADRID, DEC. IB.—No sooner did the tylant: .
festo of Ills Catholic Majesty against England, ad.
dressed on the t2th Of this month to the Royal
Councils, by the Principal Secretary of State, appear
on the r+th in the,Court Gazette, that) ail the Fo.
reign Ministers hastened to dispatch Copies of it
by Extraordinary Couriers to their respe::tive:Go-
vetnments. This preliminary notice of the hostile
intentions of the King, and of their motives, will
be followed in all the Continental Cdurts by a for-
mal communication in the name of His Mijesty,
the order for which has already been dispatched by
the Principal Secretary of State to the different Di.
plomatic Ministers of His Majesty abroad.
GENOA, DEC. B.—The French Minister, SAL/.
CETTI, has concluded a new Convention with the

the arsenal, as also the galley harbours, and the
dock. yard, with the basin, and places them at the
disposal of the FrenCh ; and. as it is intended to

France, the Ligurian Republic engages to enlarge
the basin, sufficiently fur the entrance and stationing
of these ships, at its own expence.
•g 1 And as, at the time of the conclusion of this
convention, a new built ship'of the line, a frigate,

cats.

TRIESTE, DEC. 24.-7—A respeelable
house here, known under the Finn of ANTOIN r

in the beginning of the French Revolution M.
COMB E quitted Lyons fur :Lausanne, anti afterwards
,settled here.

FLO R NC or, DRC. B.—Somw say, that the French
troops are approaching Naples ; while others assert
