Since Saturday Paris Journals to the 3oth of April have alto come to hand, from which we have,given large extraas in the precedingcolumns. The Moniteur contains no news from St. Do mingo—a circumflance rather fingular. A letter of Admiral VI LLARET, of the 6th of March, makes very honourable mention of the politenefs of Ad miral DvczwoasK, to the Officer fent to notify the arrival of the French force in the Weft Indies. There are Tome difpatches from the ufurping Government in Guadaloupe in defence of their condo& but the articles are of no intere(t to the Englifh reader. The ifland is [till in their hands, but their objeftions feem to be perfonally again( Lecso,ss, the Captain General firft appointed. They will probably rub= on the appearance of Gcneral RicHIPANss, who has been fent out. The French Funds are 56 1. 7e c. The meafure of the amnefty in favour of the Emigrants, teems to meet with the approbation of almoft every circle we have fallen in with.— It is as complete as perhaps could have been ei peded after fo entire and (weeping a Revolution, which prefented no common point at which thole who promoted, and thole who oppofed it, could ever meet. It is with relation to the circum fiances and the time, therefore, not upon ab. ftrad principles, that the meafure is to be jucig. ed. In many refpeds the CHIEF Comm. has thewn A difpofition, in fpite of many (Mules, to repair the injuftice, and cancel the crimes of former eras. If in the opinion of any he has not done dl that was defirable, it may fairly be Paid that he has generally done all that was poffible. He can no more repair all the fufferings which the Revolution has occifioned to individuals, than he can recal the pall, and undo every thing that has been done for the laft fourteen yeark.— Men of candour will not blame him for not drat ing all that fanguine hope, or peevith difcontent demanded ; they will praife him for having in dif ficult circumftances done much good, redrelfed many grievances, and prevented innumerable evils. If it be objeaed to him, as we think it may be juftly objefted to him, that after a revolution, which profeffed to enlarge the civil and political freedom of the State, he has not made the intereft of liberty his care and attention, it moil be allowed that he has directed his policy on national princi ples, and his perfonal conduit by magnanimous feelings. He certainly has not made, as he could not make, a new people, but he has &il ia), adapted himfelf to the charader of the times in which he lived, and the men among whom he vas to :ca. He may have thought that it was not fir him or for any man to give an entirely new di. reetion to the fpirit and charader of a civilized and riliflted fociety. He may have thought that to form a Republic out of the ruins of a corrupted Monarchy, and the emancipated flavery of a Refined People, was art attempt without example in the hiftory of mankind : he may have feen that Republics have been corrupted into Mo. marchies, but that extenfive and refined Monar chu.s never have, and probably never can be re generated into Republics ; he may have thought that inch a progrefa was out of the order of Pro vim ct, and the courfe of human affairs; he may have thought that it was not permitted to him to be the founder of a virtuous Republic, though he might add lutire to the military fame of a great Empire, and fecure a fleeting of tranquility to the world. By a rare merit and a iingular fortune he has indeed achieved wonderful things. He ought to be dared rather with the extraordinary men whom the declining ages of Roman greatnefs pro duced, than with the more perfed models of pure and virtuous times. He might be compared with ALEXANDER &VIRUS, with AURELIAN, or per. haps with CONSTANTINE, but not with Faze ICIUS, or with SCIPIO. A due regard to the Elate of fo ciety, and to the age in which BONAPARTE lives and ads, would temper the zeal both of his pane. gyrifts and his detradors. It would teach them what they ought reafonably to cape& from him, and whatt they fairly may condemn. ROYAL ACADEMY. Saturday the Members of the Royal Academ) gave their grand annual dinner, in their exhibi. tion room, to the Nobility, Foreip Mintfters, and other diftinguifhed charaders. '1 he affcmbiy was numerous and fplendid. The exhibition of this year, of which we (hall fpeak farther hereafter, is of a mixed charaeter.— It abounds, as lalt year, in portraits. The Prefident contributes no large pidure on the i prefent occafion, but futhciently fupports his repu• tation in feveral (mailer works. Among the produCtions of fancy and charafter the talents of Opie and Wenall are, as ufual, to be di a ing uilhed. Loutherbourg has a naval fcene, reprefenting one of thofe aets of heroifm of which the late war has afforded to many examples, and porreffing all that fpirit, hurtle, and execution, which charader ifes the works of this artirt. Hoppner has fent but one pianre (Mary) a cha-1 charaaer of rullic beauty. The leading Portrait Painters of the Exhibition' are Lawrence, Shee, and Buchey. Lawrence has the Princefs of . Wales, Lady Cunningham, and the Marchionefs of Exeter. Shee has the Dukc of Leiniler, Earl Spencer, his Countefs, and the Mar quis of Exeter. Buchey, the Duke of Cumber land, Princefs Sophia, and Lady Temple and fon. Among the contributors in landfcape, the names of Turner, Daniel, Sir Francis Bourgeois, and Sir Geo. Beaumont, are the molt diftinguifhed. Northcote has a large fubjea of a lady croffing the Alps with a guide; and alfo Tome portraits. Among the drawings, the works of Weftall, Turner, and Sandby, are pre-eminent. Edtidge and Laporte have each drawings poi: fang their ufual lirength. In the fculpture-rooms, Flaxman, Nollikins, Banks, and Ro l, have produced works interefting to the public, and honourable to that department of the arts. • In our Paper of to-morrow, we fhall commence our remarks on the different productions in detail. On Saturday lall Peace was proclaimed at Ply mouth with the ufual folemnities ; , after which the Volunteers proceeded to the Glacis of the Citadel, where they fired ; three volleys, and three feax & joy, and Colonel HAWKER'S field-pieces fired a rounds. In the evening there was a general illu mination. The King's Proclamation was read alto at Portfmouth on the fame day, and an illumination took place in the evening. The May-day of Saturday had more of titefem blance, than the fubliantial joys, which that blyth forne anniverfary had ufually brought to the foot, :ribs for with their humane Patronefs, Mrs. Mowvaous, vanithed from them the more folid comforts of her roaft-beef, and plum pudding ! On Saturday night Madame Race xis a, the wife of the rich banker at Paris, was at the Opera, and attracted much notice. Being the &ft importation of the new fafhion of Paris, (he naturally became the obje& of criticifm and remark. A - duel between Lord M—ve and Colonel S —t, wac yefterday prevented by the Peace Officers, who attended at Hyde Park about five o'clock in the morning, when the Colonel and his fecond were taken into cullody while waiting for Lord M. N letter from Stralburgh announces the arrival in that city of M. Mori resciasucy Mows, an Irifhtnan, who had been arreffed at Harnburgh with NAPP R TANDY. He is on his way to Paris, to thank the FIRST CONSD LAO whom he Is indebted for his liberty. An arrangement is about to take place refpelt ing the Adjutants of Militia Regiments : it is de termined, we underiland, that the Adjutant of each regiment is to be obliged to refide at the county or divifional town, and to have charge of the non commiffioned officers and drummers to be retained on the peace eftablifhment, and who are to be em loyed as cretins to deferters, &c. The counties are to built depots for the arms, inked of a (mall nun being allowed, as heretofore, to the Adjutants, for the hire of Rotes. The remuneratioq thould be commenfitrate to the increafe of duty. The Races at the Duke of RICHMOND'S, at Goodwood, which ended on Friday lafl, were un commonly well attended. Amongfi his Grace's vifitors were the Prince of WALKS, the Duke of NORFOLK, Lords Eons moirr and CH ICH ((STIR, and many other Families of Diftinaion. All the matches were rode by Gentlemen. This is the fecond year of their meeting, and from the great number of perfons that attended from all pans, it bids fair to rival the famous Club at Bibery. On Thurfday the follbwing curiofitits were landed at the Dock Yard, Portfmouth, from the Scipio, Capt. PSNDY, from Egypt, viz. Head of the Theban ram, which is fiippofed to be above two thoufand years old ; Cleopatra's coffin, a Rattle of Scipio of white marble, and one of Mar cus Aurelius in ditto, two pyramids fiona Grand Cairo; head of a figure, which is faid to be Sp feet high ; and a number of Egyptian deities, &c. On Friday night a Gentleman (raid to be a tra veller from London, and a partner in a horfe in the liquor trade) fell over the cliff between Stone and Broadfiairs, in Kent, and was killed on the (pot. The night being very dark, it is fuppofed he loft his road, and was leading his horfe when the accident happened. In the morning his horfe was found near the fpot whence its unfortunate mailer was precipitated. Letters from Lilbon to the tsth nit. mention that an apology had been made to the two Britilh Naval Captains for the indignity offered them by the Officers of the Lazaretti. The Conflance ' of 24 guns; Milbrooke, of tB, and Walflngham packet, were left in the Tagus on the tsth ; the Milbrooke was on the eve of failing for Gibraltar. Another partial revolution has taken place in the Canton of Berne. During the abfence of the Chief Landamman. the Petty Council taking advantage of the afkmblage of a mob, declared the country in danger, and abolifhed the Senate. Of thefe proceedings the French Minifter has fooken in CORN MARKETS. MARK-LANE, MAY 3.

DRURY•LANI THSATRI.—On Saturday a gen tleman of the name of DWYER, lately of the York Theatre,appeared forthe firft time on the boards of this Theatre, in the very interefting part of Bekour, in the UV hursass, to which he gave a force and animation throughout that have not,for tome time, been difcernible in the anatomical exertions of the comic gentlemen of this theatre ! Mr. DWYER polTelres a handfome perfon, and a very expreflive fet of features; his deportment, alto, is altogether graceful and unembarraffed, un lefs when he fome times falls inadvertently into an imitation of the particular He and manner of Lawn, which we would recommend to him as much as poffible to avoid. The applaufe he experienced on Saturday, from the beginning to the end of the play, muff have bten highly gratifying to his feelings as a ftranger : indeed it was fuch as ought to fupport his claims, in fpite of all the influence that may (and probably will) be excited againft him. In general, the comedy was got up in a'very flovenly way. The following are the fafhionable Arrangements for the current week : THIS ',sumo.
