By a Gentleman who same lately from Nanta We
learn that a forced loan is expected in France, which
has caused much discontent.
The Officers of the Customs in France who are ar-
rived at all the Sea-ports and parade regularly, are
become very obnoxious. In a town which does not
contain above 3000 inhabitants there are 120 Officers
de la Douane ; and it is said, that the duties col-
lected are not equal to the salaries of those fellows,
and that the ballances are annually drawn from the
Treasnry.

FALMOUTH, MAY 17.
Yesterday arfived the Ketch Mediator, Captain
Abbey, from London.—Sailed, the Miranda, Rich-
ards, and the Mary, Bowling, for Lisbon ; the Bene-
volent, Lovering, and Starry, Harding, for Oporto,
and about 30 sail of Transports, under convoy of
the INTELLIGENT Gun Brig, and FAVOURITE Sloop Of
War.—The following Vessels, which sailed on Wed-
nesday last to join the Mediterranean convoy off this
Port, put back again last night, not being enabled to
accomplish the same, and this morning availed them-
selves of the above Lisbon convoy : Padstow, Han-
son; Vigilant, Fowler; Friendship, Coffey; George,
Hague; And Henura, Hocking; all for aGibraltar
and Malta.—Also sailed this day, His Majesty's
Brig, RAPID, 18 guns, Capt. MATHERS, with the
following under convoy for the Downs, viz. Brig
Regulator, Elliotte with wines; Towan, Cundy ;

bhip ALPH EA. Also sailed the DREADNOUGHT, ORION,
and I'A►IIASLz, for the Baltic.—Wind N.E.

By the Anholt Mail, which arrived on Saturday,
we learn that several waggons, filled with wounded
French soldiers, are said to have arrived at Ham-
burgh, at the beiinning of this month. The Officers
who commanded the escort were prohibited from com-
municating any information relating to the affair in
which the men were wounded, but it was believed
that it had occurred in some part of the Prussian do-
minions. The circulation of the Address of the Duke
of OLDENACRGIi to his former subjects, on being de-
prived of his territories by BONAPARTE, was prohibited
by the Prefect of the district of the Ems. It is said
to have protested, in very strong language, against
that spoliation. lt should seem that the differences
subsisting between Prussia and Sweden have been
composed, as all Swedish ships in the harbours lithe
former were permitted to depart, on the payment,
however, of the serious sum of 10 dollars per ton.—
It is assumed that the same indulgence will be shewn
by the Swedes : but this will be a matter of some dif-
ficulty, as the cargoes of a great many of the Prussians
have been landed ; and for the purpose of securing
, the coasts of Sweden, artillery has been sent on board
such vessels, and they have been converted into guard
ships.
ALEXANDER is said to have listened to the Petitions
of his injured Merchants, and has signified it to be his
intention to grant Licences. We would caution our
countrymen, however, against being too hasty in re-
posing confidence on these imperial promises.
The following are the articles of chief importance
brought by another Anholt Mail, which arrived this
morning :
ANHOLT. MAY it.
The Captain of a vessel, arrived from Carlsham,
reports, that upwards of fifty ships, laden with colonial
products, have been detained in that post, and their
cargoes conveyed, under a strong escort, into the in-
terior.

NAPARTR 10 Me Bth Regiment, as a rye- erd for discipline
and bravery. On passing the British coheirs, the
Eagles were lowered, as a mark of respectful etiquette
due to the conquerors. The nieltitude with hats 'n
the air, gave loud bursts of exultation ; and the Tee-
taclewas at that moment peculiarly grand, heroic,
andinteresting. The 'next stage of.the ceremony
being dem:item, the Duke of YORK, his illestrinus bro-
ther, the Commander in Chief, the N .blity, Officers,
&c. proceeded from the Parade to W itehell Chapel.
Horse Guards were ttetioned across Earliament-st teet,
'and the military precession passed with the Eagles in
1
perfect order to the Chapel, into which none were
permitted to enter without a ticket.
CERRMONY IN THE CHAPEL.
The Dukes of Yoaa and CAltsninc e being stetted in
the Pew of State, and the Bishop of London, and the
Nobility, in their several stations, and the Guards, not ,
on duty, in their respective galleries, the morning ser-
vice commenced, when " Venite exultemus," and the
Psalms were cha tinted by the Gentlemen and Choris-
ters of the King's Chapel. After the Ist lesson, Dr.
NAM'S "Tr Deem" was sung; but a pause taking .
place immediately after " We praise thee. 0 Goa," the
military trophies were at that moment silently intro-
duced at the right and left doors, tinier escorts of gree
nadiers with fixed bayonets, and borne by twelve gre.
nether serjeants of the guards, (selected for their -fine
manly figures), who grounded them in front of the •
Altar. The impression of this spectacle at this mo-
ment may more 'readily be conceived than described. '
But it was peculiarly interesting to contemplate is in-
spiring effect on the gazing soldiery, as principals in .
this national triumph. Te Deuri was then sung through
by the whole Choir, to which the breast of every spec.
tator seemed to heave in pious unis in. This ended, ;
the Six Eagle Standard: were elevated against the two.
semi-circular divisions of the altar piece, three on each
side, the butts abeut six feet from the floor, and the
upper parts sustained by double gilt chains, of a suf.',
ficient length to give them an uniform declension for
their display. The six ordinary French colours were;
then ranged horizontally over the upper gallery, five . .
in one row, and the sixth surmounting them. Dr.
CROFT'S Anthem in C. " Sing unto the LORD." was
'admirably performed in the course of the Chute!' ser-
vice, at the close of which, the martial bands stationed
in the gallery over the altar played " GOD sate the
King,' which appropriately closed this animating and .
. well arranged Ceremoni J.
