30th. The vault in which lord 

 Nelson is to be interred, is imme- 

 diateij under the dome of St. Paul's 

 cathedral. The first preparation is 

 a circle of about 10 feet diameter, 

 from the foundation, and 3 feet 

 deep, cased with brick-work. The 

 mausoleum consists of a stone, 9 feet 

 long, and 3 wide at the bottom ; the 

 two sides, of stone, of equal length ; 

 the ends are also of stone. The 

 whole braced together with strong 

 copper bolts, two inches and a half 

 in diameter. The lid is to be also 

 of stone. The preparations in the 

 cathedral, for the accommodation 

 of the public, to see the awful 

 spectacle, exceed any thing of the 

 kind ever before witnessed. 



A correspondence has just ap- 

 peared, which took place in May 

 last, relative to a general exchange 

 of prisoners ; from which it appears, 

 that propositions were several times 

 made by our government to (hat of 

 France, on this subject. At length 

 the French agent returned an an- 

 swer, dated Sept. 3d, in which he 

 says, " nothing can be done upon 

 the subject without a formal order 

 from the emperor; and, under the 

 present circumstances, his imperial 

 majesty cannot attend to the busi- 

 ness."
