acts of barbarity, says, " The horrible mutilation which those men

dered to the cause of despotism, makes it our duty to give publicity
to this shameful affair,in the hope of preventing farther misfonunes."

We have already stated that the Coronation of the
King of FRANCE, although attended by all the imposing
ceremonies of the Roman Catholic ReliAiGn, was•anoch
inferior, in point of grandeur, to the Coronation of the King of
Gaza: Bitreent, where the ceremony partakes of a political and
religious character. The arrangements, too, at Rheims, do net
spite* by any means to have been complete; and the accident
'which betel the Royal carriage, together with that which occurred.
at Rennes, on preparing fire-works, cast a gloom over the Knee,
who is nutfree from superstition; indeed, the French have always
looked for some oc€urrence at the Coronation of their Kings,l
on which to build future hopes oe fears. Hexer 111.
on having the Crown put on hit head, said, 4, It pricks me;"
and when, two centuries afterwards, Loos XVI. at his Coro-
nation, complained that the crown hurt his head, there were many
Frenchmen present who, recollecting the fate of Hum, considered
the remark of Louts as ominous. The weather, too, at tbe Corona.
don, was discouraging ; and the ceremony, during which the Kusti
was on his knees nearly two Men, was fatiguing. These, we think,
sufficient reasons why the Kure, who is not a young man, being in
his inth year, should look somewhat dispirited.
We have already alluded to the bad arrangement at the Carona•

ties. Every one knows bow, at the Coronation of Gaines the
Fourth, everything was go judiciously ordered by Lord Gweers,
that there was not the slightest confusion, but every person was ad-
mitted at the proper time and place.
On the contrary, ut Rheims, the gates of the Church were beset *
persons entitled to, and seeking for. admittance; everythheg was in
confusion ; women in fell dress were crushed, aria Aar robes-tat-
tered ft the *tort a:meanly way. The Duke of hieStetrussesaiano,
in his Court suit, worth h'75,000, lost his way in the crowd, where
he was hustled about and almost suffocated, like the most insignifi.
cant personage in it ; and for more than an 'hour was unable to
Make his way to the rest of. the Diplomatic Body.
Etiquette appears. to have been studied at this Coronation. Is
Ea:gland the King dined in the same ball with the Princes of the'
Blood, the Peers, Commoners, and Citizens; but in France, when
the King dines in public, and every rustic can measure the appetite
and taste of the Monarch by his own, the Km: refused to addle the
Diplomatic Body even to dine in the Royal apartment ; the cones.
quence was, the Times says, that the British and Russian Andsae-
sadors dined at their own hotels. Etiquette also would not peg*
Commas the Tenth to accept the invitation of the Duke of Noss:
1111/101111LAND, the consequence of which was that no ball wiggings.
The same etiquette precluded the Duchess of Noarnunintaiani
him being invited to the Coronation, and she therefore retuned
at Rheims. Surely the French will no longer talk of their gallantry.
when they thus treat a distinguished Lady—the Consort of she

The Coronation has evidently been a mismanaged affair, and the
number of persons assembled at Rheims was by no means so peat•
as was expected ; it will, however, be seen, by the following extract
of a letter from our own Correspondent, that the inhabitants endea-
voured to make the molt of those who were there :
" R 11,1341, MAY -IL
" The Coronation, the installation of the Knights of the Order
of St. Esprit, the visit to the Hospital of St. Macrould, the pions
devotions at the ancient Abbey of St. Remi, and the rises II
the troops in St. Leonard's Field. are all over, and are span et
as things thatwere. I told you the only evil here was dear living.
but I find that Quests X. hasezereised that prerosatige of Kings,
touching for the scrofula, at the Hospital of St. Macrould, but with
what success I know nut, though I am assured the sick who received
this mark of Royal condescension, have great confidence in its effi-
cacy. If it succeeds,-we may truly say with Shakspeare--1 The King
cad enact more than a man.; But I was speaking of dear living, and
therefore mesons a RAJ moutons. For some days before the Coro-
nation almost every house was turned into an hatellanti, and on
my arrival a few days ago, an English Gentleman was asked right
hundred francs (E 32) for a small bed-room, on the mond floors and
lodging for his servant. who with his horses and carriage were to'
be all jumbled together in a woollen warehouse, converted into a
stable ; with great difficulty he obtained, in a by-street, at a paltry
Inn, a bed-room, and accommodation for his servant and horses,,
for .C2O, for four days. Provisions did not keep pace with the lodg-
ings, for such was the influx in the market, that butter, which was
generally sold at lid, fell to sd: but the innkeepers profited by this
only, for a bad dinnereost a guinea, and some carried it to the
*-.ls of demanding ester a cup of coffee."
