Pulteney, Bart, proxy for Rupert Grgi, Eq. proxy for After the Levee, His Majesty held a Council, which was attended by the Duke of Portland, the Marquis of Salisbury, the Earl of Chatham, Lord Hav.kesbury Lord Pel ham, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

When the Council broke up, the Earl of Bf rk.ei.ey, Lord Hawkesbury, Lord Pelham, Baron Mttcoir, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, had each a private audience. Hu Majesty did not return to the Queen'i House till after five o'clock. An unexpected debate in Parliament, last night, on the papers produced respecting the negotiation, excludes this day some observations we have to offer. The Debate is of considerable interest. In the course of it, it is avowed by Ministers, that the French have ceded Louisiana to America, in lieu, we understand, of debts owing by French td American subjects.

These debts are to be paid to the Americans by their Government. For this jojful news, which Mr. King hopes to be the first to announce in America, the United States are unquestionably indebted to the present dispute between France and Great Britain. A Cabinet Council sat yesterday for a considerable time, and Mr. Shaw, the Messenger, was expected to set off last night for Paris, with dispatches for Mr.

Talbot, Lord Whitworth's Secretary, who is still there. Lord Whitworth, among his last dispatches, tells Talleyrand he leaves Mr. Talbot to receive any answer the French Government may chuse to give respecting his last pnjet and the King's declaration concludes with expressing a disposition still to an amicable wii possible for tne House, in the distrust the weak and ambiguous conduct of forced them to entertain, not to press, an earnestness worthy of the occasion, not rjnnly for those paptrs which Ministers might chuse deny, but for those also which, tending to hti-n and uide the conduct of the House, in commencement of a war, the Hon. Gentleman been induced to move tor. ne aia nor see.

Crowds of well dressed persons assembled by half after eight o'clock, at all the avenues leading into the Cloisters of Westminster Abbey. This early meeting was for the purpose of securing the best seats. At nine the doors were opened.

Before the hour of ten the number of Ladies seated, full dressed, on the western side of the Abbey, opposite the organ, could not be less than a thousand. Every avenue, nook, and corner, where a seat could be obtained, was occupied before eleven. It was a very singular sight to see so nany living statues among "the monuments of the dead. of a Chatham or a Howe, appeared a beautiful whose speaking eye, fine form, and transparent habiliments, resemhled a blessed inhabitant of the realms above, watching over the tomb of the departed heroes. The procession passed about a quarter of im hour after eleven to King Henry the 7th's Chapel the drums and trumpets playing the march in Jiuias Maccabeus.

After the usual ceremonies had taken place His Royal Highness the Duke of York, made his double reverences, and proceeded to the rails of the altar for the purpose of kneeling to make his offering to the Dean. The whole of the ceremony having been already described in this paper, it is unnecessary to repeat it. About eleven o'clock the Qusen, and the Princesses Elizabeth, Augusta, Sophia, Mary, and Amelia, the Duke of Cumberland, and the Princess of Wales arrived. These August Personages took possession of the Royal Box, situated at the south west corner of the Abbey, opposite to the organ, and commanding a full view of the procession from its entering round to the gate which leads into the Chapel. Her Majesty and the Princesses were attended by the Earl, ana Countess of Harcourt, the Dowager Marchioness of Bath, Major Price, and Lady Stawell; the Princess of Wales was attended by the Countess of Carnarvon.

The Queen, and the Princess of Wales, bowed several time, to the different Knights, and Her Majesty, in particular, appeared in very great spirits, and noticed Sir Joseph Banks, by an allusion to his infirmities'; with this mark of his Queen's regard Sir Joseph appeared much pleased. Soon after the procession had passed, the Royal party quitted their box the Queen, and Princesses retired to their carriages. The procession returned about three o'clock in the same order as it went in, with this difference, the Knights elect were covered. As the procession passed out at the Est Cloister gate, the Duchess of York stood on the steps, attended by Lady Ann Spencer, to see the form used by the person dressed in white, called the Sovereign's Master, who, having on a linen apron, with a chopping knife in his hand, severally saith to each companion Sir, you know the great oath you have taken, which, if you keep, it will be great honour to you, but if you break it, I shall be compelled, by my office, to hack your spurs from your heels." To attempt to enumerate all the principal persons present would be impossible suffice it to say, that almost the whole of the fashionable world was present. The scene was grand and beautiful, ornamented by many fine women.

Among the most emioent personages were the Duchess of North-u mb lan and family, Earl and Countess ofWEST-mo lan Earl and Countess of Mansfield. Marquis of Lorne, Lady Ann Wyndham, Lady E. Villiers, Lord Villiers, SirJoHN Shelley, Marquis of Douglas, Lord and Lady Tem-pletown, Lord and Lady Stopford, Duchess of Buccleuch, Lady E. Sec. The Ladies were all full dressed, and so were many of the Gentlemen.

The company in the Abbey exceeded five thousand. Although scaffolds were erected in every part, we are happy to hear no accident happened. The crowd in the street was not so great as was expected. The utmost order was preserved by TownsheNd, Macmanus, and Sayer, the Bow street officers, assisted by the whole of the Bow -street patrole. that no slips were made in the conduct tjrrnment, wnicu ini got engage tne nation to a just war foolishly.

From all these circumstances, some persons entertain hopes we have none. Yesterday we received the Paris Papers of Sunday last. The Moiotmr states, that a Special Communication was made 0:3 Saturday to the Legislative Body, the Tribunate, and the Senate, by three De putations of Counsellors of Stare, which was sup. posed to relate to the departure of the English Ambassador. The French Funds were on Saturday at 52.

65. The scramble for copies of the correspondence in 'he lobbies of the House of Commons on Wednes. day, when they were brought down, was astonishing. The bundles were seized from the porters, cut up, and catch as catch can was the word. Many scuffles and quarrels ensued some few strangers were concerned, but the uproar was in fact occason-t by the eagerness of the Members.

The subject, ii will be seen, was noticed yesterday in the House of Commons. Lords Bridcewater and Darlington were sworn, and took their seats in- the House of Peers, on Wednesday. We understand advice is received of the French having seized 18 out of 26 English oyster smacks, in Cancalle Bay. Lord Keith's commission, as Commander in Chief on the North Sea station, has been delivered to his Lordship. General Andreossi was slightly indisposed at Dover); but he sailed from thence for Calais at seven 'clock on Wednesday morning.

The Appendix to the Correspondence in the Negotiation, consists of Sebastian 1 's Report; of the view of the state of the French Republic signed Bonaparte of the French Manifesto inserted in the Hamburgh Paper of correspondence shewing the designs of France on the Islands of the Adriatic. And of an intercepted correspondence to Fauvelet, the French commercial agent at Dublin, by which it appears his Government instructed him, secretly to obtain plans of the ports in Ireland. The Spanish and Dutch Ambassadors were at the King's Levee on Wednesday, at which there was a very full attendance. Lord Nelson, on Wednesday, hoisted his flag on board the P'tfloiy, of 1 1 guns, at Portsmouth. The embargo is taken off coasting vessels.
