PARIS, NoVKMBER,7.
This day at half pall ft o'clock his Excellency
Marquis Coaxwas.s.:s, Mini(ler Plenipotentiary of
his Britannic Majefty to the Congrefs at Aratt:ns.
was introitsced by the Minister for Fi,re;:;::
fairs to the CHIEr Com3ux, with whom he had a

private audience.
Nov. n).—The fete of yellerday cornprifed the
charaeler of all the fplend!Li festivals which have
been celebrated in France !Inee the ath Br:rat:tire
(Nov. 9.), in the eigh.th year of o.:c Republic.—
The order which nitiverfally prevailed g.tve the
molt striking proof of the high cenfidence which
citizens now repofe in cult other. it at the lone
tim: demonlisated with what eoot:.ntinent they

lose under laws which, while th-y Lumiliate
are at the fame time hottile to al cxclutive
difpnfe th:m to lock 'forward without
dismay to futurity, as well as to look lard( to the
Tory of thofe ten years of triumph to which the
French people owc their independence, their in-
tlitution, their repofe, their tranquillity, and their

tedivals.
The days which preceded the 9th November
forektdisl a temperature- but little fitted to the
pleafures of a national iMerrinity. Th. tnornin of
the 9th was temPeanow, Ent at the moment witen
the preparations for the Fete were tinillied, the
fief brightened, the Inn dilpelled the viands of
the preceding night, and the molt beautiful even-
ing tare new luilre to the fplendid illuminations
ar.d the tire-works, of a fpecies the molt brilliant

~
which had ever been fern in France.
Confederations of precaution, as well as equality,
rendered it necelfary to exclude all carriages from
the_fcene of the fete after five o'clock its the after-
noon. Sentiments of high refpc6t, however, fug.
gcttcd that the carriage of Lord ColtswaLtis
thould not be inclivled in this refirinion. He
therefore visited all the places thinned for the cc.
lebration of the fete. In every quarter he fint or-
der and civility preferved, without the -4:.1t-ce of
force to fecure it. Every where his pretence ex-
cited that attention which does not originate from
1
mere curiofity, which is able to defcribe in a ra-
tional manner its emotions, and which is an ex-
preflion of plcafire, while it is at the fame time
a tellimony of hivit rcfpea for the charaaer and
1 the reputation of him to whom it is adtiretred.
This fete prefented to all the view of a fpeaaele,
comprehending every thing grand and refpeeeablc,
unmixed with the fmalleft portion of difc,rder, and
of a general j'y, which in exhibiting itfelf was
equally remote from aft Ration and from tintilt.
Nov. t r.—The diamond called the Rezre:,which
was pawned dining the Revolution, is again in
the poffeffion of Government. The individuals
in whofe hands it was placed, had made known
their determination to fell it at a very fmall price,
if the turn they had advanced for it was not re-
funded. This diamond, the moll brilliant ever
Peen, is to be placed henceforth as an ornament on
the fword of the CHIEF Coasut. Luxury and
fplendour of external appearance, it is true, agree
only with the !WC cf women, but the Resent, by
its grandeur, by its beauty, and by its variety,
forms an exception to this general rule.
' The numerous individuals in the civil and mili-
tary department to he employed in the expedititin
to St. Domingo, are daily arriving in the different
ports from which they are to embark. Among
the General Officers who are to ferve under Gen.

mt. fu well known by his fervices in Italy.
Nov. 12.—An inscription to the Cnnititution,
to Liberty, and to Peace, was placed on the Pa.

' Yefterday we received Paris Journals to the 12th
loft. inclufive, from which we have given in our
firft Page every thing worthy of notice.
MarquisCova wets is has had a private audience
with the e.,e, CONSUL, and has been treated with
marked and particular diflialion. His was the
only carriage allowed to traverfc the fpace allot-
t:d for the public fpe,:lacles.
The anticipated accounts of the fete, forged to
give a femblance of early intelligence to prints
which never hare any, were realifed in no one par-
ticular excepting (itch as had been previoully or-
dered and publilhed. The illuminations were
wholly confined to the quarter of St. Germain, in
which the Palace of the Milleria and moft of the
pubiie edifices are fituated. There was fcarcely a
private houfe that even put forth a candle. Every
one flocked to :he Palaces, the Plate de Cosseordr,
the bridge., and along the water•lide, where the
illunliaß :ion. and firewo:ks were the molt confpi-
cuous ; but the populace bad to.grope their way
thither throngh dark greets and alleys, inftead of
having their way lighted, as in London during
our late rejoicings with millions of lamps and can
dies, caging loch a blaze of light on every fide as
ralually to dazzle the eyes of.the beholders. In
Paris, on the prefent occafion, the fight by
water was by far the prettieft ; as feveral hundred
boats were rowed up and down the river, with
bands of mufic, and illuminated from head to
ftern. The fignal for the Fete was a balloon,
which was fent up in the air at four o'clock in the
afternoon, and defcended in the Bois de Boulogne.

The ROYAL FAMILY heard divine fervice as
ufual yellerday, at Windfur.

Notice has been iffued to the Commandants of
Yeomanry Corps in Ireland, that from Monday
laft, the exercife d.iy would be reduced to once
in each fortnight.

It has at length been determined, that our Peace
eflablithment confill of only 7o regiments of
infantry, to be reduced to sop men each, and that
the corps of cavalry !hall experience a fill further
diminution, in proportion to their numbers.
The Aft fufpending the Payments of the Bank

definitive Treaty of Peace. The fubjeft of this re-
Aria i. ci the refnre has produced feveral conferences
bet we rt the Governor and Directors of the Bank

by the Bank that confiderable inconvenience would

ments in fpezi: ; that It would be desirable to wait
