Vienna, November 4. The emperor received the French
nmbafladqr, attended bv all his court in full gala, a cere
monial which was not obfirved at t!ie presentation of the
Ruffian ambaflador. Os this he complained. An aniwer
was returned, that the connexion between Auftg and Rul
fta was too iincere and well efiabliflied to require a preien
tation in any other than a friendly and familiar manner.
Belides, the French nation was fond of parade, and as the
chief conj'ul had received count Oobentzel with marked
diflinetion, the imperial court had judged it proper to ob
serve an equal degree of pomp. M. de Rafumowfwi
transmitted this aniwer to Peterfburgh.
Paris, November 29. The court of Berlin, according
to the latcfl accounts from that city, has formally recog*.
nifed the king of Etruria, and addressed its compliments of
congratulation upon the occasion to the Spanilh amballa
nor. v
November 50. His excellency mr. R. R. Livingston,
mini Her plenipotentiary from the United States of Ame
rica, arrived with his family at Nantes on the evening of
the 2 2d. He lodged at the Hotel de France, where the
prefed immediately waited upon him, and gave him and
liis suite an invitation to dinner.
London , November 9. From Galicia we have re
ceived the unpleasant news that the city of Krakow is ai
med entirely burnt down.
November 10. Sir Sidney Smith, gen. Moore, and
col. Aberrromby, arrived in town this morning from
Egypt*
November 2 1. The marquis Cornwallis slept one night
at Amiens, at the house taken for him during bis rdidence
at the congress. The morning of his departure from thence
being fire tiie people crowded from all parts of the town
to ice him, and he was fevdral times under the neceflity
of appearing at the balcony to iatisfy their curiofitv and
impark nee. Nothing, could exceed the congratulations
and to dummies of refpecl which were Ifiewn him wherever
lie palled.
About two pofts_ from Paris lord Cornwallis was met
by mr. Merry, with whom he entered Paris in his chariot
and four. The other carriages followed, escorted by lso
of the findl huflars in the French lei vice. The magnifi
cence of tire equipages, and the Celerity with which they
palled along, excited the aftonilhnient of the Parisians in”
no very trifling degree. They had previous notice of liis
excellency's arrival, and the streets were lined with people.
1 he carriages drove to the hotel Grange Battelier, on the
Bouvelards, where a moll magnificent luite had been hired
for the accommodation of tin- embalfy. It is tlie fined
hotel in Paris, and has the appearance of a palace.
On Sunday morning lord Cornwallis was introduced by
mr. Merry to M. Talleyrand, by whom he was invited to
dinner, with the other gentlemen in his suite. On Mon
day morning he was privately introduced to gen. Bona
parte, and afterwards went to fee the mufejmi and the na
tional gallery of paintings. After taking an early dinner
at his hotel his excellency went at 5 o’clock to tlie palace
of the Tbuilleries, where apartments had been prepared
for him to fee the illuminations. From the different af
peefs of tlvat building, and the gardens, his excellency
could fee the fete in many different directions.
On Wednesday marquis Cornwallis gave a grand dinner
to Joseph Bonaparte, Talleyrand, and fever a] general of
ficers of the foil rank in Paris.
A guard of honor is appointed to do duty at tlie hotel
where his excel! mey refufes; and whenever .he pa lies any
of the gvarcihoufes the guard turn out as they would for
the chief consul. No such attention is paid’ to any other
ambaflador, nor were similar honors ever fiiewn to a fo
reign ambaflador under the ancient regime.
Nox ember 24. Government ycflerday received dis
patches from the marquis Cornwallis at Paris. It is gene
ral!) uuderftood that all the principal points of the defini
tive treaty of peace will be fettled at Paris, and that tlie
plenipotentiaries from the different powers of Europe will
have'little more to do at Amiens than to sign their names.
We dated feme time mice that the French government
were indebted to this country in tlie sum of nearly two
millions derling for the clothing and maintenance of pri
soners. This demand his majedv’s ministers propoled to
forego, provided the consul ate would agree to cede to this
country tlx illaud of Tobrgo. The latter, however, pre
fer paying the money, which, it is said, is to be done by
liv. inftalmente, tlie firdof which will be made good feme
time in the eufuing {firing. The French government, for
this and other purposes, is. about to ruile a loan at Paris,
and to this circiitnftaiice, as well as that of the great float
ing debt of the republic, is now attributed the recent de
preflion experienced by the Frencli funds.
By private letters from France we leam that drong dif
contcr-ls have recently been manifeded in the vicinity of
Cherbourg. The people loudly complain of the hardlhips
which they ft;thin from the present order of things, and
openly rail for the adoration of monarchy, as die only
means of removing the grievances under which they labor.
The Consul has permitted the return of ail the French
nobles, at the txprei's lequeft of the emperor of Russia,
which is the avowed motive of his clemency. Upon tlie
other hand, tlie court of tlie Thmlleries does not seem
deficient in attention to tlie means of augmenting either
its security eir its magniiicence. i lie office of commander
in chief of the consular guard is aboliflied, and tlie charge
is divided amongd four generals, who are to command for
die day, in rotation. A governor of the palace is also
appointed, with a salary equal to 1000 guinea!) per annum,
Tlie oUlcers who are to fill tliefe mod confidential fixati
ons are not named.
’i he king lias been pleased to grant to his mod dearly
beloved fen prince Augustus Frederick, and to the
heir* male of his royal highndVs body, lawfully begotten,
the dignities of baron of Arklow, earl of lnvernefs, and
dote of Suflex, of the united kingdom of Great Britain
iind Ireland.

dearly beloved ftitt prince Adolphus Frederick, and to the

the dignities of Ljaron of Culloden, earl of Tipperary, and

tain and Ireland. * ‘ *
November aft. On Friday the marquis Cornwallis
paid a viiit .in form to and the .other conlids.
The marquis ‘went i.n his new chariot with only a pair of
horses, and his attendants were drefled in their full live
ries. After an audience of Bonaparte, which lasted nearly
two-hours, he returned to his hotel.
Marquis Cornwallis is deferibed, in one of the French
papers, to have been very much surprised on tee day of
the fete at not feeing any carriage but his own in the
streets of Paris. He inquired the reason, when he was
informed his carriage alone was permitted to pals. He
exprefied his sense of the diftinguillied honor ihew’n him in
the strongest terms.
Plymouth , November 7. Nineteen fail of"the channel
fleet arrived in Torbay on Sunday evening from off Bred.
Five fail of the line wfcre victualled for five months, and
detached horn the fleet with lealed orders, which were not
to be opened until they arrived off Cape Finifterre. It is
conjedtured that their ultimate destination is Jamaica.
November 8. Letters from Jerley state the melan
choly fate of that veteran and gallant officer, lieut. Bevi
ans, of L’lnfolente gun brig. He had been in his cutter
to the prince de Bouillon for cutlers, and was returning
with a lady oil board to dinner, when the boat, striking

Bevians, the lady, and boat’s crew, confiding of 6 men,
all perilhed. He was an excellent officer, and much no
ticed by the prince de Bouillon.
