It is certainly true that a reconciliation has been
effeEle.d, by the mediation of the highell Perfonage in
the kingdrm, between Mr. Pivir and Mr. Auoitio-
Toil. May it.tend to the prolperity of the nation !

We have received the Moniteura to the 19th infant.
They fill continue to be chiefly occupied with de.
tails of the Fetes in honour of the Coronation, which
are tirefnme and difgufling.
The article that chiefly deferves notice, is a letter
from Cadiz, dated December a, from which we
(hail give all the principal points :
It fates, that the accounts from Barcelona, dated
November 21, give details refpating the capture of
the Spanifh convoy defined for Port Mahon, and
which had failed on a pofitive declaration from the
Englifh that it would nut be twit fled. Among the cap-
tured vefttl, were three tranfports, having troops or.
board—the vefiels and troop, excepting the officers,
were font to Malta. The officers were put on board
the Spencer, and ordered to be landed. The bills
found in the military chef were returned ; but the
fpecie (t e,coo piaßres) was kept. The officers were
Cent on More in a Swedifh veffel.
Lord Nstson is charged with exercifing great (eve-
rity again( all Spanifb merchant Mips, and with hav-
ing iirued orders to capture all veffels bearing the
Spann flag, to fend to Malta all above too tons
burthen, to fink thofe of a lefs rue, and to burn all
thofe found at anchor on the eaftern coat of Spain.
—Two merchantmen, from Leghorn to Barcelona,
have been captured ; and three, one of them from
America, were burnt in the neighbourhood of that
port.
The neutrality of Cadiz was refpeaed by the Dig.
lifts fquadron till the 22d of November. On the
:Sib and 19th two Spanifh frigates were difpatched
to America with news of hoßilities being commenced,
and infruetions foe the Governors of the Colonies.
The Amphitrite, the firfl of thefe frigate', efcap-
ed lbc vigilance of t:ie Englifh ; but the fecond, the
Madeleine, was Itorred en the i9th, and detained
for 24 bouts, when the was fent back with notice
not to attempt to fail a fecond time.
The Commander of the Englifh alto declared, that
he had orders to Coffer no vtlfel to enter or come out
from the Spanifh pats.
The merchant hops do not appear to have been
mnlelled at that date, Come very rich ones having
entered Cadiz, after being examined by the Britifh.
Rcprizals have commenced at Vaientia and Bil.
boa. At the former, three Englifh veffels, and at

the latter, two have been detained. At Enna the
merchants have been forbidden to accept or pay Lili
drawn from England.
'At Madrid the Britifh fuhjeels had not been
molefted at the date of tilde accounts, but it
was believed that an order for quitting the kingdom
and for feizing their property would be the immedi-
ate confequence of a formal declaration of war,which
was to be figned on the 27th of November by the
King of Spain.
PARIS, DEC. 160--The fete given this day to their
Imperial Majefties by the city of Paris, exhibited in
all its parts a fplendour and magnificence worthy of

its objet.
17.—The Imperial Guards of Honour met
on the t ath to celebrate the epoch of the Confecra-
tion and Coronation. The following are Come of the
wails given on this exclaims :
" Hi, Maj. Sy the Emperor ; may be count as many rare as
he cnuots day, of g!nry."
" To the Emprcra, May be long eaute the Lyon& of
bee
haft, •rd as the rade* that of all the Erma."
" To the Royal Family, may it aeverOseenene ezdndt."
* To the Sovereign Pontiff, Pius VII. may the famed await*
poured by Ms Hands on the forchrad of the Emperor, render
HILAVEN alwaysprepitlotts to the fublime deigns of the maw Char-
lemagne."
The Guards of Honour drark alto a wan to their
Colonel M. BMW MONT, firft aide-decamp to.t.Metihel
Mutter, who in return gave the following :

" To the Guanlt of Homer whom I hair the bower of cow-

'sanding, LA elicit sternal devote° to 0;0'11111mm'
On thek words. all the company role, as if by one
common impulfe, and renewed their oath of fidelity
to the Emperor.

Government his received difpatches from Lord
N st.sott, giving an account of the detention of a great
number of Spa•tifr veffels. Report in the city, yef-
terclay. magnified the number of thefe as high as an
huadred. It is generally believed that not les than
half that number of very valuable prizes have fallen
into the hands of the Noble Admiral's cruisers.

Letters from Barcelona, of the 20 oh. explain.
in fume mcafure, the contrary condo& purfeed by the
lquadrons of Lord Nt t son and Admiral Coc mutt a.
in tifpeftively detaining or flatting the Gips of
Spain to pats by them. It was not until after the
sods November that the Noble Admiral iffued orders
to the drips under his command, to make captures ;
and the whole is accounted for by his Lordibip batt-
ing fent a launch on (bore on that day for letters;
which, it is fail, were from Mr. Far au, announcing'
the Rate of things, and his intended near departure
from Madrid. Upoo this intimation, it is probable
that his Lordlhip, aaing diferetionally, proceeded to
detain the Spill& veal' ; while Admiral Corneas,.
either in poffcffion of pofitive orders, or influenced by
later, or different accounts, May have found it his
duty to abflain from any aas of decifive
The affertions of the late French papers, with regard
to the inarations given by I.ord Nr Lsmo to his mi.
ters, arc folcly to be attributed to the malevolence of
the enemy, goaded, perhaps, by refentment at his
Lord(h:p's adling in a different manner from the other
Commanders, while they were altogether unable to
account for the motive.

Extraft of a letter from Cadiz, dated Nov. zo,
1804 :—" The Englifh fquadron, mentioned in our
lan, is ftill cruizing off this port. On Sunday
morning a Spanifh frigate failed for America, and
was detained by the Engla. A correfpondence
has paired yefterday and to-day between the Eng-
lifh Atl.nital and the Governor and Admiral here,
the rcfult cf which we do not know ; hat the Spa-

nifh frigate is now coming in, after having been in
company with the Engli(h fquadron for two days.—
How things may turn out it is impoffihle to fay. It
has castled a great fenfation here, and people know not
what to think. We hope, however, next poll, to be
able to give you fume certain information. The Eng-
in do not mole t neutral vac's coming in or going
out, nor Spanifh merchant ihips,feveral of which have
arrived fince they appeared in this offing ; and among
others a very rich one this day from Carthagena.—
We ought to mention that the Ant r ITRIT a frigate,
which failed the day before the other, frems to have
palied unobferved, as we have heard nothing of her
fr:rce."

Accounts from Barcelona, under the date of the
2111 of November, Rate that the Engli(h (hips of war
were capturing daily the Spani(b coaaing veftels, and
tl.at the Spanifh Commiffir.ners were, at the time of
writing, overhauling the books and taking as ac-
court of Britifh debts and property.
'There are letters in town from Lord Hot.t.a■o,
dated Madrid, the aoth ult. but they fay nothing of
Mr. Fees'.
If Mr. Farris at:Wally quitted Madrid on the t4th
of November, it mull appear Arrange that Lord HOt-•
LAND And his family fhould have remained fix d.,-%
after. It is pollible that Mr. Faces may have "re-
iturned to Nlairid, but we do not think, even if this
fliould turn out to be the cafe, that the probability of
Ipeace being continued will be much Rrengthened.

Private letters from the Hague enable us to add
to the patticulars which we publithed yellerilay re-
fpceting the We violent tranfaftions in Holland, that
the Members of the 13atavian Council, whom we
mentioned to Wye been escluded from the Meetings
of the Direetory, have bcen put under well, and
aftually lent off ptifuners to Faits.
