after receiving -fome difpatches from his 
Court, dated July 13, had a long confe- 
rence with Baron Thugut, the minitter 
for foreign affairs. It was faid that the 
Britifh Cabinet was net averfe to a general 
peace upon reafonable terms, but refolved 
at the fame time to make every facrifice to 
induce its allies to profecute the war, if 
the French fhould be extravagant in their 
demands ; in that cafe Auftria has been 
oftered new fubfidies to the amount of one 
hundred millions of florins. 
The feftival of the 14th, of July was 
celebrated at Paris with enthufiafm. Per- 
fons of all ranks crowded to fee the Chief 
Conful, who had not appeared in public 
fince his return from Italy. He was at- 
tended by his company of guides, and 
the detachment of the confudar-guard 
which performed fuch prodigies of valour 
in the battle of Marengo. Thefe warri- 
ers appeared {till to feei the effects of 
their tatigue, as if they had juft left the 
field of battle. The eyes of ail were fix- 
ed upon them, and every where they re- 
ceived proofs of the national gratiiude.— 
‘The proceffion having arrived at the 
‘Temple of Mars, amidit cries of Vive la 
Republique ! Vive Bonaparte! the Minit. 
‘ter of the Interior pronounced a very elo- 
quent oration in honour of the day. The 
“Temple was decorated with the flandards 
taken from the enemy. 
of the Lonic order was placed the pedettal 
of Liberty ; near which were erected the 
feats affigned to the Confuls. On their 
right was feen a cenotaph, railed on the 
manes of the deceafed warriors; and 
there ftoed the batt of Deffaix, infcribed 
with the laft words which he uttered.— 
The foreign minifters were featcd near the 
Confuls. ‘To thefe fucceeded fongs, the 
fpeech from the Minifter of the Interior,

reviewed the invalids, and diftributed me- 
dals to thofe who had performed the moft 
remarkable achievements. A herald at 
arms proclaimed their names, the number 
of wounds which they had received, and 
the battles in which they had fought.— 
On the medals given to them were infcrib- 
ed the details recited by the herald at arms. 
It was obfe ped with genera] fatisfaction, 
that, in conferring thefe marks of diftinc- 
tion on two of them who had loft both 
their arms, he ftooped in order to put 
them in the pockets of their jackets. The 
Confuis then repaired to the Champ-de- 
Mars, where they reviewed the tioops 
compofing the garrifon of Paris. The 
concourfe of citizens was immenfe, and 
beyond every thing of the kind hitherto

in the Temple of Mars, dined with the 
Chier Conful and the members of the 
principal authorities after the feftival of 
the 14th. They were accompanied by 
twoof their oldeft comrades, the one 104

From the interior of Italy we lears, 
that the Court of Vienna has reftored An- 
cona to the new Pope, and alfo placed un- 
der the papal jurifdi€tion the civil govern- 
ment of all the ecclefiattical tersitories 
which had been held by the Auftrians 
fince the depofition of Pius VI. Bona-

demolition of the principal fortreffes of 
Piedmont and the Milanefe, Bardi, Serra-

; EGYPT. 
By intelligence from Conftantinople, 
dated the 25th of June, we learn that the 
evacuation of Egypt by the French has 
again met with difficulties. The French 
required that Cairo, Alexandria, and the 
furrounding country fhou'd be declared 
either independent, or under their protee- 
tion. The Porte, however, would con- 
fent to neither of thefe propofals ; and on 
the 22d of June it was unanimoully refoly- 
ed in the Divan to fend another army, 
confifting entirely of Europeans, with a 
new general in chief, to Jaffa. Thearmy 
of the Grand Vizier, which at firft was 
faid to‘’amount to 150,000 men, is now, 
by the defertion of the. Afiatics, reduced 
to 20,000. The plague has likewile 
breken out in his camp, and one of his 
beft generals has died of it. 
Tite correfpondence refpeéting the af- 
fairs of Egypt, publifhed by the Freach 
Government, fiates, that Sir Sidney Smith, 
in negociatijng the convention with Gene~ 
nerval Kleber, acted under an order received 
by him from Lord Elgin, to that effect ; 
od that he aiterwards made an offer. to 
KI eber to act upon his own refponfibility, 
in oppofition to the firft orders of govern- 
ment to Lord Keith, for preventing the 
departure of the French troops from Egypt. 
The French now affert that Egypt is not 
to be evacuated by the Republican troops, 
and even go fo far as to fay that there ne- 
ver exifted a neceflity for fuch a meafure 
being adopted. Taney fate that Nii
