PRIVATE LETTER, PARIS, JULY s.
_ _ _

The fetlival of the t4th ..,f July is expe&ed to
be of the mutt magnificent kind. A deputation
from every corps in the French army are to be
prefent on the occation. It is rumoured, that
on that day a propofition will be made by thefe
deputations to enable the CH 'BF CONSUL to nomi•
nate his fuccefTor.

It is mentioned in private letters, that the FIRST
CONSUL feems to have taken force decided mea-
lures for putting an end to the hopes of the Ja-
cobinical party, who have been fufpedied of at-
tempting to excite the people. Such of the ge-
neral officers as were thought likely to promote
difcord, have been appointed (as by favour) to
ditlant commands, and the difcontented Tribunes
have been affailed, both in public and in private,
with all the Mails of ridicule.

It is not intended to proclaim the change of the
Conflitution on the 14th of July, as has been fup-
BONAPARTS will only be proclaimed Con-
ful for life, and that even is not yet decided.—La
TOUR MAUROURO, the fellow-fulfirer of La Fa•
rErre, has followed his example in writing to the
FIRST CONSUL about refloring the rights of Cni-
zenfhip, Bcc. Now mark the magnanimity of
BONAPARTE :—a lift of elrou, to be propofed for
a public fchool called the Prytanny, was on his
deflc, among the number were two tons of La
Toys. MAUBOURO the Ftssr CONSUL intmerfiaiely
ran hi: pen through the name: of the young Marthourg:
General ANDREOESI is gone to his country
feat, where he propofes flopping near a mouth,
previous to his departure for England.
The report of CHAPTAL being likely to be cho-
fen a Member of the Legiflauve Body, is Rill
kept up. He will in this cafe be fucceeded by
LucIEN BONAPARTE, as Minifter of the Interior.
The report of a fpeedy appointment of Admi-
ral VILLARET Joy suss to the office of Minifler of
Marine is unfounded. VILLARET, it is under-
flood, will return to St. Domingo with the ap-
pointment of Captain-General.

The following are the particulars refpeiting the
!royal interview at Memel, promifed in our Paper
of yefterday. The fubjoined letter from Jerfey is
I of conliderable importance :
MEMEL, JUNE 12.—1 n the forenoon of the 9th
Intl. his MAJESTY, after the Review, accompanied
by her MAJESTY, vifited the apartments defigned
for the EMPEROR of RUSSIA, and both their Ma-
jellies expreffed in the molt gracious terms their
fatisfaaion at the very excellent manner in which
they were fitted up. To thew honour to the diffin.
guilhed vifitors, the town has had two triumphal
arches erefted ; one before the Gate of Liebau, re-
prefenting a portico, the entablature of which was
fupported by four groups of pillars, and in the
frize the infcription : Alexandra et Frideriee
dile a Deo juniiie eivitas. In the middlrof the attic
were the arms of the town ; a Savage leaning on
an Anchor, wreathed with flowers. The other
triumphal entry, at the end of Linden-ftreet, was
formed by two obelifks entwined with garlands of
flowers, one bearing the Ruffian, the other the
Pruffian flag. On the loth his Imperial Majefty
arrived, under the name of a " Comte de Ruffle,"
at Polangea, the lett frontier town of Ruffia, three
(German) miles hence, where he was received by
Comte Kalkreuth, General of Cavalry, who ac-
companied his Majefty to the entrance of the town.
On the way from Polangen to Bommels, half a
toile off, where the Royal Rate coach with eight
horfes was ready to receive him, he was accom-
panied by ftveral piquets of buffers, placed there
for the purpofe, and thence to the town by a fqua-
dron of dragoons, and by the merchant's guard of
this place. His Majefty did not accept the Rate
coach, but remained in his chariot, attended only
by an Adjutant. His Imperial Majelly had put

He was faluted from the camp with too guns.--
His Majefty the King, ornamented with the Ruf-
Gan Order of St. Andrew, rode in the mean time
on horfeback, about a quarter of a mile from the
town. On perceiving the Emperor's chariot, his
Majefty difmounted, as did the Emperor likewife,
and the two illuftrious Perfonages welcomed and
embraced each other. The Emperor then mount-
ed one of the King's led horfes, and the two Mo-
'nal-ells rode fide by fide, followed by their united
fuites (all on horfeback) into the town. From the
gate of Liebau to the houfe of the merchant Lorck,
were placed two rows of chofen men from the Re-
giments Reinhardt and Schoning, and from the
grenadier battalion Mow. Bcforeithe houfc of
Mr. Lorck, where the Ring and Q2eets were
lodged, her Majefty the Queen
een came to meet the
illultrious gueft and furprifed him with an embrace
which the Emperor returned by prefling her Ma.,
jelly's hand to his lips. He remained to dinner
with their Majefties, and about four o'clock, ac-
companied by the Royal Princes, went to his
apartments of the merchant Glagon's in Linden-
fireet. Before entering, his Imperial Majefty paired
twice before the guard of 172 men 4 and Officers,
and infpedted the grenadiers with vifible fatisfac.
Lion. He then prefented Major Von But.ow with a
gold fnuff box fet in pearls, and each of the Of-
ficers commanding the guard with a geld ditto,
and each private with a ducat. He converted
much with Major Von Buxow, concerning the
arming and equipment of the Prullian grenadiers,
and requefted that the greateft part of the guard
might be ditmiffed, which was immediately com
plied with, only 5o men bring left for this purpofe-
His Imperial Majefty paired the evening alto with
their Majeffies—the bands of three regiments per-
forming Turkilh mufic before the houfe all the
time. On Friday morning he was prefent at the
Review, at the end of which his Majefty the King
placed himfelf at the head of the infantry, faluted
the Emperor, and then rejoined him, on which
the whole line paffed before the two Sovereigns.
The Emperor dined again with the King, and after-
wards both, accompanied by the Qt/een, who rode
between them, all three on horfebasik, took a ride
to the camp, and afterwards through a great part
lof the town. This morning early (Saturday) the
troops were again exercifed to the great ktisfation
of their Majefties. To pleafe the Queen, the Em-
peror had ordered to cofacks, commanded by Co-
lonel PLATON, and 3 Officers from Polangen, to the
camp, where they went through the manmuvres
peculiar to them in riding and fighting with great
dexterity. The King prefented the Commander
with a brilliant ring and a gold fnuff box, each of
the Officers a gold fnuff box, and each'coffack four
Frederics d'or. To-day their Majefties have again
dined together, and in the evening are expelled to
honour with their pretence a Ball, given by the
company of merchants trading abroad. The Pro-
prietor of the houfe where his Imperial Majefty is
lodged, receives zoo roubles per diem. The price
of all provifions is immenfely rifen. The Ladies
of the Prullian Court have had the honour of a
vita from the Emperor under the name of Comte
de Ruffle. Their Royal Highneffes the Princes
Henry and William, the King's brothers, have
received from him the Ruffian Order of St. An-
drew, and different Noblemen of the Court other
Ruffian Orders ; in like manner the King has ho-
noured feveral perfons of the Ruffian Court. His
Imperial Majefty affirmed he had never paired fuch
agreeable days as in Memel, and at the requeft of
their Majefties contented to prolong his flay ano-
ther day.
Ju N a 16.—The departure of his Majefty the Em-
peror of Ruffia was at firft appointed for the t sth
inftant : it did not, however, take place till to-day,
when, between ten and eleven o'clock, he fet our
on his return, under the difcharge of too pieces of
cannon, with the fame retinue, and in the fame
order as he arrived. About noon the King and
Queen of Pruflia likewife left this city, amidft the
louden acclamations and bleffings of the populace,
and proceeded to Tilfe, whence they will go by the
way of Trakehnen and Raftenburg to Jerutten.
The tour of the Emperor of Rana through
his States refembles a triumphal procellion ; at
every place through which he pages, perfons of
all ranks repair from the mole diftant parts to ob.
tam a view of the Monarch.

ST. PITERSILItGH, JONI B.—The following is
the farther intelligence we have received of the
Emperor's journey : In Narva his Majefty vifited,
after the parade, the Cathedral Church, and then
the houfe wherein Peter the Great had once lived.
He he examined all the curiofities preferved here,
confining principally of untefils, which that im-
mortal Prince had made ufe of. The remem-
brance of the hero, and admiration for his great
deeds, excite refped for every thing any wife con-
flated with him. The Emperor ordered that the
houfe, which is in a very decayed condition, fhonld
be repaired, and every poffible meafure adopted
to preferve a monument which is fo precious for
every true Ruffian. His Majeny arrived at Dor-
pat precifely on the day when the new Univerfity

one.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM JERDET,LATED SULYIS.

The hopes which we had eutertaii:ed of recc.-
vering that commercial conueltion with France,
which we had before the commercial treaty of
1786, are not likely to be realized. Our neigh-
bours are adopting the moll fevere meafures to
check and to opprefs our trade.

A few months ago a regular Southampton
packet, the Fame, belonging to Jerfey, failed
with a fair wind from Southampton for the Wand,
with 25 paffengers, including tome foldiers for the.
Royal Garrifon Battalion. She was loaded with
flour and goods for the ufe of the ifland, in con.
fequence of which the mailer entered into the
ufual bond at the Cuftom-houfe to land his cargo
in Jerfey. When they came near the Race of Al.
derney, the wind fhifted to the S. S. W. and foon
increafed to a boifterous gale, which reduced than
to the alternative of either putting into Cherbourg,
or of going back to England. The latter would
have been attended with confiderable danger, as
the norm continued to increafe : the accommoda.
dons were rendered extremely inconvenient by the
flour, which occupied a great part of the cabin,
and prevented the paffengers from fheltering them.
(elves againit the inclemency of the weather, and
from making a fire. The paffengers, obferving
that the women and children were alually frozen
with the cold, and that the lives of all were in
danger, compelled the matter to make for Cher-
bourg. As foon as they had dropped anchor in
the Road, the mailer went on fhore to declare at
the Cuftom-houfe the circumftances of his arrival.
He received for anfwer, that having no broker,
he could not be permitted to make a declaration.
He foon procured a broker ; when he was in-
formed that orders were given to feize his vefel,
becaufe he bad come within four leagues of the
French coaft with Englilla manufaCtures, and was
confequently liable to confifcation by a law paffed
daring the guar. The bufinefs came to a trial at
Valognes, where not only the fhip and cargo wen
confifcated, but the matter was condemned to pay
a fine of three times the value, and to be impri-
foned !

An appeal was made to the Tribunal at Cott-
tances, where the fentence was confirmed, with
the exception of the fine and imprifonment. It was
proved, beyond a pretence of doubt, that there
unfortunate people were forced into Cherbourg.
roads to avoid an almoll certain death, and that
not the leak attempt had been made to put any
thing on fhore, or to break bulk. The crew of,
veffel bound to Pool appeared at the trial, who
depofed, " that they failed on the morning of the
fame day that the Fame had put into Cherbourg,
that they faw on the fame day a veffel perith at
fea from the violence of the form that they
themfeves, having (hipped a fea, were in fq peril.
ous a fituation, that they found it impraticable to
afford the crew any affiltance."
The caufe is to be finally judged in Paris ; but
notwithkanding the reprefentations of the Cham-
ber of Commerce of the Ifland of Jerfey to oar
Government, to M. Orr°, and to our Ambaffa•
dor at Paris, to whom they have deputed one-of
their members, there are little or no hopes of re.
covering the property. The inhabitants are the
more alarmed at this extraordinary event, as all
veffels coming from Southampton, from which
port they draw their fupplies, are generallyobliged
to come through the Race of Alderney, which is
within the four leagues prefcribed by the law, and
often to anchor at the entrance of the Race to
wait for a favourable tide.

The Cullom boats of Cherbourg will no doubt
be encouraged by this feizure, as they are entitled
to half the produce of the contifcation, and rob
us during the peace of that which they had not
the means of capturing during the war.
Much as our new friends are bent on the prohi-
bition of our manufaaures, they are infinitely
more hoflile to our chipping. Within there few
days they have raifed their Port dues to S livres
tz fous per ton. Thus, while a' French veflel of
to tons pays in Jerky 5 livres, a vale' belonging
to England or her dependencies pays in France the
enormous fum of 56 livres ! It is fuppofed that
the aim of BONAPARTE is to induce our Govern.
ment to make a new concelfion, by abandoning in
his favour the principles of the as of navigation,
the foundation of our maritime greatnefs.
In the mean time, every effort is made to ex-
tend the trade of France. Sixty vefiels are failed
from the neighbouring coaft for Newfoundland.
To prevent the potEbility of lofs to the adven-
turers, a bounty of TO livres per month per man
is given, betides to livres for every quintal of Oh
brought to Europe, and 5 livres to the Well In-
dies. Such is, however, the want of capital, that
