apprised of his Majesty's decision of the 17th of
July, re-establishing the prohibition that WI

to colonial pods coming from holland. • Appli-
cation has been made, to know whether the pro-
hibition contained in Art. 5. of the law of 10th
Brumaire, year 5, extends to the coarse carpeting
of cow.h air, manufaajered in the environs of
Breda; the entrance of which has hitherto been
permitted, on payment of a duty of 10 per cent.
ad valorem. The answer has been, that .as the
decision of the 30th of March applies the prohi-
bition of haie-dotit to all carpeting of which
that material forms a part, the importation of the

FETE AT THE HOTEL DE VILLE.

joy the sight, . which was still farther' heightened.
by the lustre of a cloudless sky. It would be
difficult to find troops that could make a better ap.
pretence. They performed several evolutions.
and then filetl past his Majesty, amidst repeat.
ed shouts of Long live the Emperor ! Long
live the kin*. ! The parade was nut over until
near ti o'clock; and was followed by a military
dinner at the palaces which resembled a family
party, so much was every heart filled with grail.
tilde and admiration towards .the pacificator of the
Continent. In the evening the Theatre was ale.
initialed with wax.lights iu the Italian manlier ;
the King honoured it with his presence, and was
received with the wannest acclimation.

Yesterday Count Laforet, the French Ambass
sadur to the Court of Spain, concluded this seriesl
of entertainments by a chillier of 50 covers, fol.
lowed by a grand ball, at which there %sere be.
between 200 and 300 persons present.
On the 29th ult. his Majesty issued a decree,
containing the following clauses—" Thetuterior
admission into any regular order, and the secular.
ization pronounced by a bull of the Court of
Rome, shall not, in flaw coming, form auy ob.
staele to the acceptance of miracles, prebends, or
ecclesiastical benefices.''

lIANSDLIftGUI Dsc. 13.—According to a letter
from Christiansand, in Norway, the greater part.
of the '25 American vessels which were libelled In
the Court of Prizesi,have been released. The let.
ter ttAilsi,..,tilt ctrqy thing, was dear (litre ; and
teat the rents of houses andlcidgings hid ctinside.
rably risen. Apartments which could formerly
be had for 50 rix.dollars are now SOO. The
augmentation of the population, from 5 to 11,000,
is ono cause of the increase ; and another, is the
sudden wealth acquired by the lower orders, from
the success of the privateers, in which, the ma.
jgrity of the itthahitants have shares.

The fete which took -place yesterday at the
Hotel de Ville, vas perhaps the most magnificent
that ever was celebrated -on any State occasion.
The variety and arrangement of the entertain-
ment, the beauty of the decorations, the assem.
blade of so many illustrious personages, all con_
trihnted to give eclat to the festival. The King
of Saxony arrived at the Hotel at five o'clock. •
The Emperorl• with his august family, consisting
of thu Empress Queen, the King and Queen of
Holland, the Kin,° and Qiieen of Westphalia, ,•
and the Princess Paulina Borghesa, arr;ved at '
six. The King of Wurteinberg was also present. ;
The Hotel d. Villejsras magoifieently fitted up
and decorated. A covered gallery, ornamented
with shrubs and exutic flowers, facilitated the
access of the company who were set down at
the entrance, by l'ourniquet-street. The Court
entered b 7 the grand staircase, whore the per. •
'images eienpueing it were rercived by the muni.
eipat corps. They werecenducted to the Impe-
rial Audience Hall, where his Majesty the Dupe-
. ror .was seated on the Throne. The Prefect of

manifested his affection and esteem for' the loyal
'city of Paris. A th*Qiisatitl voices joined in the
exclamation, Vim ribirpttrear I !fit Majesty nert
Weida Colslleil, set which he received the different
authorities of the Department of the city Of Paris,'
with whom his Majesty condescended to converse
a considerable time.' lie then proceeded lit State
to the Hall of Victory, where the entertainment
was set oat in grand style. The persons of dis-
tinction who had the honour of being invited to
the fee, were conducted to a gallery around
the Hall, where they•could enjoy the presence of
his Majesty, and the Kings who surronndei him.
The company were next introduced to the Con-
cert sttll, magnificently decorated ; tont its most
beanelfal ornament was an Amphitheatre, with
five rows of benches (grttdins), decorated with
every %Itingleautifnl mid Carious that Paris could
produce: Nothing eterhl weed the coup &ail
which the profusion of deeoritidnsi at once splen.
did and elegant, presented to the spectators.—
Several odes were then recited, and executed by
%elect and Scientific. band. The Counett con-
cluded with the grand chores of Echo and Nar-
cissus.
• His Majesty honoured the ball room with his
presence. The first reel (quactriee) Was danced

Sixonyntrived here on the 14th, on his Morn to
his dominions. His Majesty visited all the remark-
able places, and was particularly curious in see.'

jvsty will also visit Carlsruhe. -

Generally speaking, the produce of the, West
;mho is dull of sale, towing to the difficulty of
exporting any part of them tothe Continent of
Eurnpror, that of America ; and, indeed, till such
time as this obitacle is renioxed, tke West India
trade must in some sort Nmain.stagnant. 'Runt is
a heavy article; that of Jamaica fetches from ss.
to 6s. 9d. and that of the Leewatd Islands froni
4s. to 4s. 4d. per gallon. Holders in general arc
still sanguine, anti no large quantities could be
bought at the prices we hare quoted.
