COPY OF THE LETTER OF HIS MAJESTY THE EMPEROR

OF RUSSIA TO THE COUNT DE LISLE.

My Lord Count—lt is with pain I have perceiv-
ed, by your letter dated Warfaw, June 13, the Tao-
lotion which you have taken. It I had been ac-
quainted with it before, conformably to my with,
both my friendthip for you, and my accufiomed cot-
dour, would have determined me to diffuade you
from thole projefts which, in the exiling trills, eta
far from being of real advantage to you, will but af-
ford your enemies hell' weapons agaial you, and
induce them to render the execution of your defigns
Rill more difficult than it is at this moment. Without
witting to intermediate farther in affairs which do not
immediately concern myfell, I cannot, however,
countenance the propofii.ion -which you, my Lord
Count, have made to me, and I ought not to conceal
from you, that the offer which I have already made
you, anlwhich I here renew, viz. the offer of an
afylum in my hates, in cafe you could nut obtain a
refidence elfewhere, hat, been made but with a view
of procuring you a tranquil retreat, in which there
could be no idea of fuch a projeft as you now me
ditate. I have felt myfelf bound to !peak to you on
this fubjeft, withcut referve, and I am perfuaded that
neither the impoffibility of carrying your plans into
execution in Itutlia, nor the light in which I view the
matter, will give rite to a doubt in your mind of the
defire I feel to give you, on every occalion. reiterated
proofs of the molt dittinguifhed contideration, with
which," &c. &c.

PRIVATE LETTER, PARIS, DEC. zo.

" I am jolt relieved from the fatigue, both of body
and mind, of the late files on crowning the Empe-
ror; they laded the whole of lall week, and are Lot
yet finished. The fuperb fire works are put off till
Thurlday, as the preparations are not yet completed.
It would be needl.;.s to take up your time in relating
the general account of the grand prcceilion left Stm•
day, but ; 111411 entertain you with what has particu-
larly come within my obfcrvaticn. I had a mull ex-
cellent view of the wits le. The Pori came by ex-
aaly at nine o'clock, as was announced ; I law his
Holinefi very plain; a Pr iea carrying the crofs, and
feated on a mule, made much fun for the Parifians.
The poor fellow, who preceded the Post, WAS hat-
leis, an the moll bitter cold that could be conceived ;
it was fo intenfe, that fome of the foldiers aftually '
dropped down in fits, having been expofed to the air
from three in the morning, without any refrefliment.
The Emperor was not fo punaual, he did not come
forward till pall eleven o'clock ; his carriage was fu-
perb in the highelt degree; eight cream-colon:eel
bodes, decorated in a new ilyle of elegance, excited
the admiration of all the fpeaators. Thole honks, I
underhand, were taken from the Itud belonging for-
merly to the KING of ENGLAND, at Hanover. From
the arrival of the Pope to that of the Emperor, a
(pace of two hours, there was a continued fucceffion of
troops • the cavalry all galloped. Some regiments of
cuiraffiers, or men in half armur, had a beautiful
effeft ; and a regiment of Matneltikes on horfeback
preceded his Martty at a little alliance. The pi o-
ccffion was all pallid at a quarter pat& eleven. The
molt perfect order plevailed, and Fenuld have walk-
ed as eafy ill the Rue St. Honore, as if nothing had
been going by • no crowd whatever. Soldiers were
placed in ranks on each fide of the way, and no rab-
ble was fuffered to go by ; but any Lady or Gentle
man Whet pafs, even infide the ranks, as the grena-
diers were all very polite. I bad a fine view of Cie

Emperor, who bowed as he went, though not a foul
,tried rive PEnrperzar ! A few perfoits only cried out
rive P Empereur ! on his return, but it seas to faint as
to make little imprellion.
" The next day (Monday) was dertled to the pen-
ple, and they were permitted to ramble at large in
fearch of various arnuftmenti, which were appointed
in all parts, to prevent then) atrembling in one place.
At the Place de Concorde, between the Thnilieries
and Champ Elifees, they fent up fix balloons ; the fill
was a fmall silt one, about as hig as a coach body ;
it went off with aftonifliing velocity, and was imper•
ceptible in three minutes. Afterwards a large one
was fent np ; there was an immenfe large golden
eagle fattened to the bottom of it, where tke car
(hould be ; it had a very pretty die& ; it was accom-
panied by four fmall ones, which had the appearance
of melons ; from each extremity proceeded a finoke,
which very fnon hurfl into a flame, and confumed
them all. The large one, with the eagle, went to
an immenfe height ; but at tall took fire (delignedly,
no doubt), and when burr:, the eagle came flutter•
ing down in the Elyfian Fields. All the rabble ran
to fee it come down. On the Boulevard!, and other
places, were dances ; Maypoles, with prizes on them,
at n great height ; fuch as watches, filver cporms, &c.
Thole that could mount fur them were entitled to
them. This was a fource of great arnufement.—All
the TheaTes were opened graft; on Saturday, Sun-
day, and Monday. Yellerday (Sunday) was to have
been a great day for the market-folks, but it is put
off till next Thtufday. A hundred hogfheads of wine
:are to he put into the fountain, inflead of water, and
' there the people are to drink as much as they pleafe.
Thoufanda of turkeys, geefe, and fowls, are likewile
to be diltributed. To avoid confulion, tickets are to
be put in a large bag, exprefling a turkey, fowl, &c.
fo that each may go and demand what his good for-
tune appoints in the lottery : no blanks, but all prizes.
It feems next Thurfday will be as grand a day, if not
grander, than any yet. The Emperor is to go to
the City-hall to dine with the Federations. They are
ereaing a moll magnificent throne for the reception
of his new-made Majefly. The hall is to be in a room
decorated with colours taken in various battle;. .We
cbferved many taken from our county yriu.n, with re-
gi r. I can scarce clefcribe what a fMen'nity the day
on which the C. a ()nation took place produced in every
perfun of fen:iment : nobody Appeared joyous., but
as it were, Itt tick u ith wonder at the event.

" I went yelltrday to Notre Dame, as they admit
the public gratis, to fce how the church was decorated
at the time of the molt auguft ceremony. It is in a
ftyle of maictlic grandeur that flrikes the mind with
awe. The middle aifle,from the great door to the altar,
is fitted up on both fides. with three tier of boxes, in a
theatrical kyle, hung with crimfou and gold ; bet xv,.!t2,,
the tiers of boxes a large eagle in gold,
d'7ance. The POP OS chair, or throne, wsts on tite left
fide of the fanauary near the altar ; it is hung with
elegantly neat white fatin, embroidered with (tars of
gilt metal. I have already given you a defcription
of the illuminations in the Thuillertes ; the other pub-
lic buildings were not fuperb, neither were the illu-
mir.Atiout of
