PARIS, Sept. 24.

The Duke of Bedford, during his Stay here, will reside in the Hotel of Ambassadors Extraordinary, formerly the Palace of Bourbon. Count Kaunitz, during his Embassy, paid 25,000 Livres for it. The English Minister will pay nothing. The two Kings are, moreover, giving one another equal Marks of their Esteem. Our Monarch it is said, gives the King of England complete Furniture for one of his Palaces, and his Britannic Majesty makes a Present to the most Christian King of fifty of the finest Horses in his Kingdom, and other Rarities.

When the Duke of Bedford landed at Calais, M. Becquet de Cocove, President of the Court of Justice at that Place, attended by all the King's Officers, waited on his Grace at the Inn, and complimented him in the following Terms:

"My Lord,

It would betray in us a Disregard to the Welfare of Mankind in general, and to that of the two Crowns of France and England in particular, should we omit this Opportunity of testifying our Joy for the important Commission entrusted to your Grace, to put the finishing Hand to the great Works of Peace. Who could have been nominated more capable than your Grace, to reconcile so many different Interests, and remove so many Difficulties? Yes, my Lord Duke, your Wisdom will surmount all Difficulties: The two Nations, of Rivals you will make Friends, by inspiring them with the Spirit of Union and Concord: They have, in all Ages, mutually esteemed each other: It was, perhaps, reserved for your Grace to change this Esteem into a happy Sympathy. May we soon see you return, my Lord, with the Olive Branch in your Hand, going to reap the happy Fruits of your wise Mediation, after gaining the Esteem of our Master, and meriting the Favour of your own Sovereign. These are the Wishes of the King's Officers of Justice of Calais, who beg leave to assure your Grace of their most profound Respect."
