By the proceedings in the two Houses last night,
our Readers will perceive that the two States of the
Realm hare at length begun at the right end, under
the present melancholy circumstances of thc conn.
try. Uow car they Will continue to proceed, step
by steiy until they shall have found the due and full

depends.

Last night, French Papers to the 6th instant,
were rewired. The Illonileur has given in detail
the correspondence between Mr. MACKENZIE, the
English Commissioner, and M. DOMOUSTIEN, the
French Commissioner, in their negociatiun, at Mor.
.
laix, for a GENERAL EXCHANGE of PRISONERS.
Gr a subsequent column, we have given our Readers
all that is important in this Correspondence;. be-
cause, from the first, we felt this to be a most into.
resting subject, and were willing that our Readers
should, as mach as possible, have the power" of jadg.
ing who was sincere, and who was not in this nego.
tiation. It is scarcely to be believed, that the
French Government ever designed to establish
a General Exchange upon any basis, notwitli.
standing the sophistry of the Monileur. But,
at present, no • cennot go into this long and
intricate discussion ; much less into those many
imptirtant reasons that may bear on this case. Tho
French Papers, besides the long article just men-
tioned.) contain the following :

" PARIS, DEc. 2.

'6 This day, Sunday, Dec.. 2, the anniiersury of
his MAJESCY'S coronation, his blar Err ir having
taken his seat on the throne, and being surrounded
by the Princes Grznd Dignitaries, the Ministers,
thu great Officers, and the Officer, of his Household,
received the Senate, who were conducted to the au.
dience by the Master of the Ceremonies and his
Deputy.

" His Excellency Count GAttrutn, President,
presented to his Nimcs.ry the following Ad,lress

" St ac,—The Senate has heard, with the liveliest emotion,
your Imperial and Royal Majesty's letter.

Enince beholds the accomplishment of the wishes she en-
tertained, and in her unceasing admiration of tie greatest of
Monarchs, shee.attlts to see the brilliant star of NePo r, nom il-
luminating a cradle, surrounded by the laurels of glory and the
palm of slime.
"Iloy often, Sire, have we presented to the first of lonenge,
the homage and the admiration of the Great Nation ! We offer
to-d•ty, to the father of his country, the wishes of that nation,
which is happy in your happiness, happy in your hopes, imp's,'
in your expectation-, happy in all those sentiments with whlth

her own account and on yours.
• 44 After the audience, the EMPEROR haring de.
scen.led from his throne, received the Foreign Atn.
bassadors, who wrre introduced in the usual Form."
The Monitear of the 3d contains the following
note on a paragraph in the Morning Chronicle of
the 27th November

. Morning C'hronicla.—" We have reason to believe, from the
letteri. received by the last packet, that Dittmar has actually
MASSESA with 15,000 men, and that the siege uf

Yesterday the Duke of BEDFORD arrived in town

The Duke of Montrose packet, which arrived
at Plymouth on Tuesday, after a short passage of
fifty-six days, from the Brazils, has brought
ligence of great importance relative ter- the state of
affairs at Buenos Ayrea. It appears that Ad.
miral Ds Couitcv had . received dispatches at
trio Janeiro by the Alivefloe 'schooner from the
Plata, on which he itnniediately sailed fur that
place in the Foutlroyant, and orders were
given fur all the ships of war on the station to pro.
ceed for the same destination. • The departure of
the Commander in Chief, and the force under his
command, is attributed to• great commotions which
had taken place at Buenos Ayres and the neigh-
bouring provinces. It is indeed stated, that Lt-
i
nuts and five of his associates have been tried and
'executed by the new Government a Buenos Ayres.
They are stated to have been convicted of treason-
able practices against the legitimate Government of
FERDINAND VII. and, were put to death on the
I.6th of August last, at a short distance from Hue-
Am Ayres, amid the acclamations of the populace.
The cummotion's which had occurred had induced
the British Naval Commander to place Buenos Ayres
in a state of blockade, and the following notice to
that effect was yesterday posted at Lloyd's :--
":The Spani.l ship Leila, Captain Aguilar, from the Ca-
naries and Si. Catharine's to Buenos Ayres, put into (tie Ja-
neiro, the 13th October, ho consequeuce of the blockade of
Buelloo Ayres by the British."

WEST FLORIDA.

NEW ORLEANS, Oes. G.
44 Last Sunday the inhabitants of Bayol 83,
headed by General Phitenon Thomas, attacked'"
took the fort and town of Baton Rougelsod ho.
tirit American flag. Seven Spaniards were ioott
in the engagement, one, the sun of Mr. Graedpre

arrest. The revolutionists have sent a piny of
men to the Bayou Manchu, to oppose the kw.
of some troops sent by Governor Fulch, of po
sacula, for the purpose of quelling the rshiv
tion in Feliciano. A Gentleman who arrived',"
last evening from Mobile, informed me, gm
met in Like Poutchartrin a Spanish armed schoo l.
with a Captain and part of a company op board
•bound to Bayou blancher, from whence they s,
to march by land to Baton Rouge. It is very
bable, that there has been an engagement b,
them and the 60 men sent to oppose then, ter
pect that the flame of the revolution will extrudt
every part of the Floridat. It is generally Ili
this day, that there was a plan I .id to set Wet
this city *last night, which was discovered b,
black man belonging to Mr. B. I befit,
it not to be true ;-for a Gentleman has just noein
formed me, that be saw a black man in cu,
