'On Saturday night Mr. and Mrs. Pore came forth for the Gaon in Othello and Defdentona, which they fupported with their ufual great ability, and were loudly applauded. The houfe was very full. Mr. SHERIDAN fat in his own box during the whole performance, to which he was very attentive, often applauding. The Dame at Ramfgste has found it neceirary to become a diving-hell alto, as the belt means of avoiding the male find:. which now in felt that Chore, in order to pick her up.

PARISIAN Fssmoms.—Turbans are very gene rally worn, but of no remarkably elegant peculia sitrof figure. The molt obfervable particular in their Appearance is, that they are thrawi back ward almoli as far as the veils. Hats are very much worn, and are in general very broad in the brim or Item, and cut fquare where they approach the neck. Sometimes a tuft of ribbons appears between the rife of- the hat and the brow. The ribbons are rote-red or white. Trimmings of lace are fill in vogue. Black ftraw hati have ceafed to Ise worn by Ladies of the firft fafhion. Some of the robes rife fo high on the neck, as to leave no neceffity for the tile of a neck handkerchief.— The waift is fill worn very low in front. Role coloured tunics have been lately alrociated with black puckered bands at the &eves, and round the middle. Shells are, in • t reference to cornelians, now the favourite toys. Thefe (hells are from Italy, and are curioufly engravers. They are richly inountioi 6yths Paritian jewellers. On ~ccoust of the wide sleeves, bracelets arc very common. FURTHILIt PART CULARS OP' THS FIRS AT TACIT. ast.t.. 4 —On Thinfllay evening, about half pall ten o'clock, a fire broke out in the Rabies of -- Woodford, Efq. at Vauxhall ;—it was =dinned, we underftand, by a candle falling among fame firaw. Several engines belonging to Gentlemen in the neighbourhood, and tome from London, very form arrived at the fpot, but unfortunately there was a fcarcity of water. The (tables, the fervants' apartments over them, and the kitchen, which uas detached from the hotife, were completely burnt down. The flames were fo rapid, that tome of the fervants, who were in bed, efcapetl with the greatell difficulty, but this cloaths, and all the furniture was dal - eyed. The honks were got out, with the exception of one, a valuable fiddle boric, which was burnt. Mr. Woodford had been for ICUs colleding, at a confiderable expence, a great number of curious foreign birds, whic h where kept in a green houfe adjoining to the houfe, and Ltween it and the [tables. The fereams of the poor birds, occafioned by the heat of the fire, was redly dillreffing; and though every means were taken to enable them to crcape by breaking the glafs of the green houfe, yet few were able to get out, and of t h e r e f ew t h e greater part either flew or drops into the flames. A very large gang of pickpockets attended from London ; and, to die dygrace of our police, committed their depreda -- • • .. wits. ;,............. r4RModI7I. SEPT. ?9. The paragraph which has appeared in moli of the London and Provincial Papers refpeding two Ladies being refcued from danger while bathing, by two Gentlemen in the charader of Adam, is totally void of foundation ; and upon enquiring, proves to be the invention of tome idle and poled perfon, on purpofe to prevent the company from viftting this pleafant and delightful place as ufual. The town never experienced fo much com• patty as at prefent, every lodging houfe and ta• vern is full of company, who flop longer this fca fon to fee the Dutch fair, which commenced this day, and which has not been held during the late war.

The failing match let Saturday afforded better fport than on any preceding year.—Mr. Role, fen. the Collator of Cußoms at this port, together with a number of other gentlemen, were accom modated on board the Re& cutter to fee the con teß. Nineteen veffels Ratted at eleven o'clock, when a brick fide wind prevailed. The Trial,John Bryer, gained the &ft prize fix guineas, being ez• afLly four hours in the accompliihment. At the moment he turned the Rationed veffel, after a few minutes ezceffive florin, a dead calm enfued, which totally difcomfited the followers. Two of them ran aground, who otherwife would have had a fair chance of the other two principal prizes. How ever, after a 'age of more than two hours, the 'Two Brothers, Charles Chapman, weathered the Ration and gained three guineas, and was loon followed by the Jane, John Diaper, who had two guineas. The others were allowed one guinea each. But we mull not neglea to commemorate the'humane difpofition of William Cooper, of the Mary Ann, who was very forward on the return of the fecund round, but intiantly backed fail, and Rood firm to preferve three men who were upfet, in a pleafure boat, and we are happy to fay he fucceeded in his laudable effort by raving all that were on board, who mutt otherwifelave periled, as they were a great way from land, oppotite Hy the. The Hargrave of Anfpach's beautiful yacht, Mr. Fitzgeralds', &c. were loaded with ladies and gentlemen to behold the conteß, toge ther with a waft affemblaie of falbionables on the beach. A band of mu& was on board the Role cutter. MitRGATE, SEPTEMBER 17. Some of the tavern keepers have reafon to com plain of having been bubbled by Italbenyis: One has been living upon Tome of them feveral weeks, excufing the payment of bills, by making perfons believe he was fpeedily to afcend with a balloon. This day the ftlk was to arrive, next day the vi triol, then the iron filings ; now they were all to come together ; in the end,e very thing was perfeElly ready for afcenfion but the money necetfary to buy the materials for making the balloon I However, the man has been indult - rims, and kept up a thew of bufinefs, by making two or three unfuccefsful attempts to fend up *pater bag, full of intake. He received his difcharge from one Hotel on Satur day. On Friday morning, a gentleman walking upon the rands under the late battery. ciircovered the body of a man lying dead, who had fallen over the cliff in the eight. He was immediately conveyed to the work-houfe till the Coroner's Inqueft can be fummoned. His thigh was bi oke, and his head dreadfully franured.—His name was M'Guiax, a native of Ireland ; he had been a fhort time wai ter at the Profpe& hotel, and recently difcharged. He had been in company at the Crown and Thif .tle rublic houfe, was in liquor, and quitted that •lioufe to reek for a bed. It is fuppofed to be an accident, through intoxication, as upwards of 51. were found in his pockets. He had lived Come time fince at a hotel in Jermyn ftreet, London. The promenade at Mr. Bettifon's Library, on Wednefday evening, was greater than ever re membered ' • the room was crowded in every part by well drelled and beautiful women. Mifs Cteed Tung and played divinely. A duet, by Mifs Ayl mer and a Gentleman, was defcriedly applauded. —Garner's, Lail night, was the falhionable refort. Vifitors crowd in here every day. Within the Taft week, the fafhionable circles have been confi derably augmented, in confequence of which our pleafures are fomewhat more refined, though we are this morning threatened with a repetition of the country (ports I defcribed to you in my lafi. The day is not appointed. Four Packets came, in during the night, each had not lefsihan fifty pafengers on board. Two of them fet fail on Wednefday afternoon, and the others on the following morning. Whiz morning the Rofe in June left us with a full cargo, not lets than 530 on board.

The American Ihip Fador, Ca towel.t. is juft arrived from New York, in as days; whence the failed in company with the Draper, TATLOIL, for this port, which may be hourly ex peeted, as rile (poke her a few days ago. Accounts are received in town, Rating, that a fchooner called the Lady Rofs, which arrived at Irvine on Wedneftlay laft, law a new fhlp athore in the Sound of Iflay,on the Jura Ude; a num ber of boats were around her, taking out bags, which appeared to contain wheat. A report was in circulation here laft night of the loft of a veffel at the Calf of Man, every perfon on hoard of which pe- Mind.

On the sBda uk. the Flora, Kea, of this port, in working down the Shannon, got alhorc on an ifland about eight miles below Limerick, when (he immediately went on her beam ends, and filled with water, by which means there was every ap pearance of the cargo being totally loft ; but we are happy to fay, that by advkcs lately received, things have affumed a bet ter appearance than was at fist mated, which is fo far fortu nate, as we under tend no infurance had been done by the owners. _ _ On Satunlat morning, a failor belonging to the Liverpool packet of New York, lying at the raft quay, fell from the main top on the deck, and was much bruited. We are happy to learn that hopes are entertained of his recovery. NAVIGATION OF THE BLACK SEA.

The following is an extract of a letter from an Officer belonging to the Britifh Forces in Egypt, dated Alexandria, July 9 :— •' We are (till in a (Late of uncertainty as to the tme of our departure from this country ; and it is confidered rather an extraordinary circumftance that no orders have yet arrived for its evacuation. I affure you, that if we do not either fpeedily quit this place, or receive a reinforcement of troops, Tome very ferious confequences may be apprehend ed. The Turks are actually afraid that we intend to remain in the country. Their jealoufies have already broke out into ads of infolence towards the Englifh ; and for tome days reports have been in circulation that if the Englifh did not evacuate the country within a given time, ho(tilities would be commenced again!! them. Of the infulting be haviour of the Turks to fome of our officers, a re prefentation was lately made to the Turkith Corn mindant, but without effeet ; he paid no attention t) it. In confequence of this, Lord CAVAN has rtached field-pieces to each regiment ; and or dered the toth regiment to encamp in the fquare of Alexandria. The Turkifh Commandant has had a conference to-day with the Commander in Chief, in order to know the reafon for this pro ceeding ; and I am told his Lordfhip has declared that he would make the Turks refpea the Englifh as long as they remained in Egypt. " A great part of Egypt is at this moment in a (Late of diftraftion, a prey to peflilence and civil war. The ravages which the plague has been making over the country, has for fome time pre vented all communication between Alexandria and the intetior ; but we know that feveral engage ments have taken place between the Turks and Mamelukes in Upper Egypt, in which the latter have always been victorious. A veffel which has juff arrived, brings an account that Gen. STUART is coming hither with to,ooo men, to fettle the difputes between the Mamelukes and Turks. " It has been mentioned that General BAIRD had marched with his army to Ghiza, on his way to Suez. I was at Ghiza at the time he (Lopped there. His men being in great diftrefs for water, the General fent cut feveral parties to dig wells in the defart ; and although fome were funk 250 feet deep, no water could be procured. General BAIRD embarked on board a sloop of war on the sth of June. In this MO he intended to go as far as Cofeir ; and then get on board fome of the Indian veffels, which are the fafeft in the paffage of the Red Sea. All his army were embarked at the time, except the 7th regiment of Seapoys, amongft whom a cafe of plague occurred ; in confequence of which the whole regiment remains behind un til the difeafe ccafes. " In the beautiful town of Damanhour, which had been confidered perfealy free from all danger of infection, eight men belonging to a detachment of the 26th Light Dragoons, who were quartered there at the time, were on the 27th of May feized with the plague. The detachment was immedi ately ordered to march towards Alexandria ; and the lick were left under the care of Mr. Autzuun. BELL, a young furgeon, who had been doing duty there at the time. Out of the eight men who bad been ill of the plague, and who had been given up as loft, fix were recovered, and are now perfealy well. While the detachment was marching to Alexandria, fix more of the men were attacked with the plague, and four of them died. The tick who remained behind were in a camp at time dif tance from Damanhour ; there were no other Eng lilh in the interior. In this fituation, Mr. BELL. was informed by the Sheik or Commander of the town, that the Beduin Arabs, who live by plunder, were committing depredations about the neigh bouring villages, ever fince the troops marched away ; and that if he did not remove his men in to the town, they would be in danger of being plundered and deftroyed. Mr. B. knowing that the plague was at that moment raging in Daman hour, where twenty ufed to.die in a day, remain ed where he was ; but obtained from the Sheik, a guard of twelve armed men, who patrolled about the camp every night until the foldiers were in a condition to be fent away to a peninfula between Aboukir and Alexandria, where the detachment was then performing quarantine. g The plague has -almoft depopulated Rofetta, and the town of Rhamanie on the banks of the ; and the communication between this and the interior of the country being cut off, provi. fions are brought from the villages, aryl received at a place called Cavan's Cut, on the canal of Foue ; where there is an officer's guard Ilationed to fee this done, as well as to prevent the Arabs on either tide from coming in contaa with each other.' The progrefs of the plague hits been moil , fortunately put a flop to at Alexandria, by the exertions of the Board of Health eflabliihed here . ; over which Colonel BIRESFORD, of the 88 th attention meet, P re f t l ! e the pu b l ic Stic has welfare, been hisby cuttingvi g vigilance c t ,f f all cad c ommunication with chfeafed perfons ; making thofe who had been fo perform the limitary qua ' rantine, &c. that the diftemper has fcarcely (hewn • .1* tr _
