All the honours due to the august brother of his Majesty the Emperor and King were paid to him. General the Count de Monthion, commanding the department, went to meet him upon the road, with a detachment of the Guard of Honour on horseback, and of the Gendarmerie. The civil ' and military authorities repaired to the gale of the city, where M. Loin, sub-prefect, had the honour to compliment his-Catholic Majesty. The King replied as follows— I thank you, M. Sub-prefect, for thi sentiments you have expressed to me.—Among the reasons which make me desirous of the speedy re-establishment of 'order in Spain, that of seeing renewed the amicable relations and commerce of the Peninsula with France is not the least important, and particularly with the city of Bayonne, which has given so many proofs of attachment to the Emperor, and which has thus ac quired particular claims to my gratitude." Cies of Live the Emperor ! Live the King of Spain ! were heard on all sides. His Majesty was greeted at his entrance by salutes of artillery from the citadel, the ships of war in the port, and the guns of the fortress. He pame.l through the city between a double line of troo,m, which ex tended to the Imperial Castle of Marrac.• where his Majesty alighted. An immense multitude fillesipthe windows and crowded the streets during his passage. His Majesty graciously accepted the service of the Horse and Foot Guard of Honour, during the shott stay which he must make nt Marrac. This day his Catholic Majesty received the eccle siastical, civil, and military authorities—he spoke to each of them with that kindness and affability which , characterise him. VIENNA, JUNE 22. On the 16th we were informed of the death of the old King of Sardinia. The Court of St. Petersburgh has notified to all the Diplomatic Body and all its Ministers resident at fo reign courts, that Count Lauriston, the new Ambas sador from France to Russia, had renewed to it, on l the part of his Court, protestations of the sincerest, amity. • The latest letters from Bucharest inform us, that negotiations for peace are renewed between the Turks and Russians, and a basis is even spoken of, about which they are nearly agreed. Our bank-paper was this day at 1453 florins, for 100 florins in specie. GENOA, JUNE 19. Private letters acquaint us, that the privateer Le Dauphin, fitted out at Genoa, brought into Cotrona, in Calabria, three English prizes, which she captured off Sicily. One is the brig Cmsar, of 200 tons, laden with cheese and 400 bales of hemp ; another, the Ca roline, of 80 tons, laden with 689 barrels of oil ; and the third is the Adriatic, of 50 tons, laden with wine and timber. MADRID, MVP'. 17. ' General Hugo, Governor of the province of Gua diilaxara, learning that the Empecinado was redou bling his efforts in order to carry his projects into eye cution, on the 12th inst. gave bun battle in the rugged mountains of Cifuentes, where the Empecinado had entrenched himself, And beat him completely. The movements of our troops were so prompt, and exe-, cuted with so much audacity, that the rebels were dip concerted, and fled in the greatest confusion. 'rite battalion of sharp-shooters, consist ing of the best troops of the Empecinado, was almost entirely destroyed; his infantry lost great numbers ; his cavalry suffered much from the impetuous charges of the Westphalian light-horse. We have made a great many prisoners; taken one cannon, and a great deal of ammunition. TII PI EVENING sTAtt. LONDON. FRIDAY, JULY 12.

We mentioned yesterday, that the finances of Bo- NAPARTE were improved by the ransoms he derived on the manumission of wealthy persons who were ar rested._ A letter from Konigsberg states, that a ne cessitous merchant had been shot, having been found guilty of the crime of drawing a bill upon England; I and another of great opulence had been sent in cus tody to Paris. The ship Juno has arrived in the Downs, from Lis bon :but she has brought no recent advices. The barley harvest was concluded at the time of her dept.. tore, and it was expected that the wheat would begot lin before the termination of last month. The time of reapingsthis year was of considerable importince, as ;the deficiency in the resources for the subsistence of the French army in Estremadura very much depended an the removal of the corn before the approach of iht enemy. • Wairifia .14DELUGENCE. • '• • PLYMOUTH, JULY 10.'

LINES ON THE WALTZ-DANCE. BY RICHARD RRINSLEY SHERIDAN) ESQ. How Arts improve in this degenerate age! Peers mount the Box, and Horses tread the Stage; While Waltzing Females, with unblushing face, Disdain to dance—but in a Man's embrace; How Arts improve, when Modesty is dead, And Taste and Sew& are like our Bullion fIA! COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.-•-MORPHY'S Comedy of The Way to Keep Rini, was last night performed.— The elegant, the accomplished Widow Belmour, was personated by Mrs. JORDAN. Her delineation of the character united that spirit and delicacy, which, from - the descripti3n of Sir Brilliant Fashion, we are tau i 3ht to expect. In speaking of Mrs. Behnour, he praises her for her entertaining manner, her rapid, yet pleasing transition from one subject to another, and the grace and elegance of her deportment.— In each of these points Mrs. Joansts was admirable. —Her interview with Mrs. Lovemore was excellent, and drew down repeatcd plaudits. Her rules for keeping a husba nd were delivered with all that fasci nation of action and utterance, which evinced the most perfect conception of the character. The following passage, which was given with inimitable effect, re ceived three rounds of applause ;••••• 4 6 To ruin a heart is easy—to Keep it is the difficulty. After the fatal' words for better for worse,' women relax into indo lence, and, while they are guilty of no infidelity, they think every thing safe. Bu:. they are mistaken—a great deal is wanting ; an address, a vivacity, a desire to please; the agreeable contrast; the sense that pleases, the littl: folly that charms " A favourite poet, PRIOR, has expressed it with delicacy— " Above the fix'd and weed rules " Of vice and virtue in the schools; " The better part should set before 'em, " A grace, a manner, a decorum." Mr. MUNDEN supported the character of Sir Bashful Constant. His picture of the ridiculous Baronet was extremely humourous, and we do not aver too strongly when we declare that he is, in ouropinion,the most dis criminating Comedian that exists. Sir Brilliant Fashion was represented by Mr. R. JONES, who supported the character with ease and vivacity. The comedy, which was extremely well cast, went off with great eclat. The dramatic romance of Blue Beard followed, in which Mrs. BISHOP made her first appearance at this Theatre, as Irene. She executed her songs in a very charming style, and was received with the most flat tering approbation. Mrs. Poseur-, of the Drury-lane Compiny, we understand, engaged at Covent-garden s'heatre for five years, on most liberal terms, worthy of her talents. She will make her first appearance on Monday next, in the part of Lady Macbeth. Loctex BONAPARTE is arrived at Thorngrove, near Worcester, with part of his family, accompanied by Colonel K. LEIGHTON, who attends him by order of Government, and inspects his letters, !cc. His Excellency Admiral APODACA has given in structions to those whe superintended the funeral of the Duke D'ALBUQUERQUE, to remove the body to Ports mouth this day, to be shipped in the ASIA, for Cadiz. The body of a Spanish Ambassador, interred in West minster Abbey in the year 1691, Don rt.DRO Ror- Qutct.o, is at the same time to be removed. The heat yesterday was somewhat extraordinary for this island; the thermometer being at 84, which is higher than the average heat of Jamaica, and nearly equal to the heat of New-York, at this season. Duaxao, JULY 6.—A few days since, the Society for Discountenancing Vice, which chiefly consists of Clergymen of the Established Religion, were met to gether, when the Professor of the Scriptures (the Rev. MATTHEW CRAWIZY), from the Roman Catholic Col lege of Maynooth, requested an interview with theme, which being obtained, be stated that his object wee to declare his intentions of renouncing the errors of Popery, and to become a Member of the Church of England, and that 150 of his pupils were ready to follow his example. The Society informed him, that the business was inconsistent with the objects of their institution ; but that after the Meeting should be dos. ed, they would, as private individuals, communicate with him. A conference took place accordingly, but the precise result is not known sufficiently to warrant me to say what it was. This affair may reconcile Mr. PEACEVAL to the Institution at Maynouth, of which, you know, he his, upon many occasions, es pressed his disapprobation. _[ --- • 3RITISII PRISOMEn dfr FERDOW... -The names of the Gentlemen, whose arrival from Verdun we noticed yesterday, are Messrs.

Lieutenants Arnold and Bunn, died in May, 1511. A Gentleman is just arrived from Antwerp, and from his report of the stare of things in that quarter the rest of the Continenf may be pretty well judged of. He informs us, that there are not less that 4003 culprits employed on the works of Antwerp, the most of them on account of offences in relation to the con script Taws ; the severity of the French Government not being confined to the conscripts themselves, who had endeavoured to escape, but extending itself Prefects, Mayors, Magistrates, and other Municipal officers, who had charge of the districts in which such escapes took place. Many persons of this description, possessing property, and of the greatest respectabi lity, were among the workmen. Our informant re cognized some of his mercantile friends in chains, who in happier times, had held the first offices in the prin. cipal towns and cities on the Continent. From them selves he learnt the cause of their sufferings, and that some of them had been sentenced to fiv:, and some to ten years hard labour, for suffering a con script or two to escape in their districts. This Gen tleman, also, not being a British subject, was at I il)erty to travel through Fiushing, where he had an oppor , tunity of examining the grand dock which was bloam I up by the English on their evacuating the island of Walcheren ; and upon this subject he states, that the F st r o c r n a c t h io l n i . a d not made the least progress to wards its re- A duel was fought on Tuesday morning, at Hat ton Shrubbery, near Esher, Surrey, between a tenant JARDINE of the army, and Mr. COLLSII,ILL, a Volanteel Officer, iu consequence of a dispute at Vauxhall-Gardens, on Monday night. The challenge was given by the latter Gentleman, in consequence of the former having taken some unauthorised liberties with his sister. The Lieutenant was badly wounded in the thigh. The price of wool of every kind experienced a very considerable reduction at Hereford fair on Mon day last. At Norwich Corn-market on Saturday fast, very little business was done. Barley sold from 144. to 16s. per coomb. Wheat 38s. to 40s. Oats 136. to 14s. Beans 18s. to 19s. 6d. No peas at market. — The Cattle-market on Norwich-hill was abundantly supplied with stock sheep and lambs, hut tound few purchasers, the latter selling from £l5 to £'2l per score. There was a good supply of Scotch beasts, but the sales that were effected did not produce so much as they lately sold for • we may quote them rather under Bs. per stone. —Mr. Clarke of Burgh Apton, produced 15 fat Merino sheep, and sold at about Sid. per lb. Fat lambs averaged Bd. pet lb. and fat mutton Std. There were but few tat beasts, and those obtained 10s. 6d. per stone readily. CORN•MARKET, JULY 12.—The Market to-day has few further Arrivals of Wheat, and not much of re maining supplies, which is mostly second, with infe rior again extreme heavy sale, and rather gives way in price—Barly and Malt remain at little variation — White Peas likewise—Not many Grey, or Beans of either kind, and they support the late advance—The supplies of Oats are again short, and sales thereof named a trifle elharer. Flour continues a the late quoted prices. II • 4.! •
