The tall letters from Bayonne announce, that an

Mc. I 2.—On Saturday laf, the Deputation from
the army, the navy, the gourds of the Louvre, and the
National Guards, amounting to 7000 men, atruhbled
in the Great Gallery of the klonore, under the or-
ders of Matfhal MIJIAT, Governor of Paris. The
Chief Matter of the Ceremonies having informed the
Emperor, that the Martha' had affctubled all the de-
putations, his Majefty went to the gallery, preceded
by Marfhal Mow., by his Imperial Highnefs the
Contiable, and followed by his Iffiperial Highnefs
Prince Joss, H 1 and by the Chief Dignitaries, and the
Great Officers of his Houfrhnld. The Emperor

Antiquities, by which his Malta), went out. As he
patted through the tanks, he (poke to each Deputa-
tion as it was prefented to him by the Conflable.—
The Emperor entered into cons edition with all the
warriors, received their petitions, talked over their
former exploits, and their pi etent fit nation. Nothing
could have been more novel, more inblime, or better
calculated to excite entbutiafm, than the view of
this, the reprcfentative body of an armed nation, af-
fen:b!cd amongtt the monuments t I the arts of all
the world. Amidft this numerous crilellion of ce-
lebrated pleura, the sinhleit, and that which attraa-
ed the general attention, was the picture of our as-

After having reviewed them, the Emperor took
his fiatinn in the middle of the Great Gallery, and
addrcfled the Deputations in the fublime language,
and with the animated tone ela foldier grown old in
Camps. That %nice fo familiar to thole heroes, ex-
cited an enthuflafna in the minds, and touched the
hearts of all with the deepea fenfibility.
The Emperor haeirr, returned to his apartments,
feared Li.:telf on the drone, furronnded by his Mi-
nifiers and Great Officers. The Senate was on the
right, the Council of State on the left of the throne.
The army, with Martha! Musa r at its head, having
been introduced by the Grand Matter of the Cere-
monies, and prefented by the Confiable, defiled be-
fore the throne.

DEC. 14.—0 n the tzth inn. the Bata ian Deputa
thn had the honour to wait upon the Pape : they
were received by his Miners in the molt friendly
manner. Not (peaking the French language fluent-
ly, he teflihed his tatisfainion at being add:cad in
tliln by the Ambafrador Sex own tack, and
hc:d 4 lung converfation with him. When this was
fluslhed, the Pope gave his bletling to the Deputation,
vilich thereupon took leave of his Holinefs.

fumes its labours, fubjea, however, to momentary
interruptions. Among the Colleges which have al-
ready reformed their labours, we reckor the Council
of State. Its firtt fitting finee the Coronation took
place on the t tth inflant ; it continued three hours,
and the Emperor prefided. The Criminal Tribunals
were taken into conficlemtioc, and it is underaood
that the code which relates to them, will this winter
be one of the principal fubjeCts of the deliberations
of the Council of State, who will devote two fittings
weekly to it.
It is thought that this code will be prefented in
books to the Tribunate and the Legifiative Body, as
was done in refpea of the civil code, in order that
the fitting of the Legiflature, which is to take place
immediately, fhould not terminate before the French
'nation than enjoy at leaft a part of thefe new labours.
The Minifter Secretary of State, having cooled it
to be announced, that the memorandum (or paw
verbal), of the ceremony of the confecration and co
tonaticm, was depofited at his honfe. for the Cigna-
tures of the Deputies of the Departments, the crowd
WAS fo great on the t nth init. that it was necelary to
wait at lean an hOur in the brat room before admit-
tance could be obtained into that where it lay. The
Prefidents of the Elettoral Colleges, on figning it,
received a medal defigned to pirpettate the memory
of this great event. The other funltionaries were
apprized, that they were to receive it from the Mi-
n/tier of the Department in which their duties placed
them. The medal which was diftributed on this oc-
cation is of laver, about the fize of a five fierce piece
(at. ad.) ; the imprefion is the fame as that on the
fmall medals which were &Chanted by the Heralds
at Arms in the dreets and (quarts. the day after the
coronation. Thofe which are intended fur the Mai.'
tory Deputations are (mall, but they have been &ruck
off in gold.
The letters from Calais give the following parti-
culars of the attack announced by the Telegralik :-
4. The Englio2, under cover of a very thick fog,
directed on the night of the Bth ink. &grand Fort
Rouge, which protefis the entrance of the port and
' the road of Calais, a fire-chip, which blew up within
a thort difiance of the Fort and the jetty head. The
explofion was fo great, that Come windows were flut-
tered in the warn. The Fort, however, fuflained no
damage, except that lonic articles in the infide were
(hook, or put out of their places. The men who were
upon guard were knocked down, but only one of them
received a contufinn in the arm. The jetty was a
little damaged, but, we have melon to expeß, that
they who directed the fire.fhip were worfe treated, as
tome mufkctry, and two cannon.fhot were fired on
them previous to the explofion. We could alto per-
ceive frequent knots to recall the tailors employed in
navigating this isferadinachine, who, moil probably,
have been overwhelmed in the waves."
