By the arrival of the brig Orlando, Capt. Cottle, yesterday, in 35 days from Morlaix, we have been favoured with a file of the Journal du Commerce to the 30th of March, Paris dates.
We find the whole attention of French-men again occupied with another event of glory, which shortly awaits their beloved Emperor. The Cardinal Fesch and M. de Segur, Grand Master of Ceremonies, had departed for Milan, on their route to attend the Coronation of Bonaparte as
KING OF ITALY!
The tribunate had resolved, on the motion of their President, to wait upon the Emperor in their corporate capacity to felicitate his Majesty, on the glorious occasion. The cardinal Caprara, Archbishop of Milan, is to officiate at the coronation of Bonaparte, and his First Chamberlain M. Remufat who is appointed to convey the ornaments to be used at the ceremony, has already left Paris.
In General Orders, dated on board "The Imperial Flotilla at Boulogne" the 22d of March, Admiral Lacrosse announces to the squadron his appointment to succeed Admiral Bruix, who died on the 17th of February.
Capt. Cottle informs that previous to his sailing, a Fleet of 29 sail had put to sea from Brest, but on discovering an English squadron they RETURNED TO PORT.
Very little indeed, is said in the latest papers, respecting England or war.
