The efiabliffiment of Religion gives general fatisfaftion. In certain Coterie: of philofophers it is feverely criticifed, but with little impreffion on the public mind, as the fentiments of its oppofers are fo well known. Yefierday his MA J ESTY'S annual bounty was diftributed to as many poor men and women as the KING is years old, who fat down at two tables in Whitehall Chapel, and were waited on by his blajefiy's attendants. The number of poor people being feared at two long tables, and the cloths fpread, each had fiat a quantity of beef of about four pounds weight, and four three-penny loaves. The pious Pallor, previous to their taking the beqiiell, delivered the following prayer LORD grant that thefe People may Wes the King for his goodnef% and may they not be unmindful of the King's bounty, Or THY mercies." A cup of ale was then given them, and they departed with cheerful hearts. In the afternoon the fame perfons again attended, when the Rev. Dr. MOR s read the lelton of morality from the 25th chapter of St. Matthew, in which is fully exem plified all the duties of a Chriftian. He then deli. vered to each man cloth fufficient for a coat, Trills linen for thins, and !hoes anditockings ; alfo a pound note and a (billing, with the filver . pennies, in number equal to the years his Majefty is old.— During the fervice, felea anthems were Tung by the Gentlemen of the Choir, whore abilities are too well known to need any panegyric. At the conclufiun, the poor perfons were regaled with a cOp of wine and difinified. The Infant fun and heir of Lord Sit ervinn seas baptized laft night, at his Lordlhip's houfe in iiivy Gardens, by the Bifhop of Wracutsrex.— The fponfors were the Prince and Princefs of Wan s, and the Earl of Go:Lc:roam Lord Su ay. new was proxy for the PR IN cr. and Col.

It is a faa which does not teem to be known, or if known, not very willingly admitted by fume people, that the gallant 42d Regiment confifts en tirely of Scotchmen, and thole Highlanders only of particular Clans. • We do not firppofe there is either an Engliflonan or Irifhman in it. Both the kilt and Weft London Regiments of Militia are to be immediately difembodied, with 38 more, the Warrant for which has been figned by his M .ijefy. The Duke of BEDFORD is chofen an honorary Member of the Board of Agriculture.

Mr. Eisaiss is to attend the Prince of Watts to the Mantion Houk; for the firft time, on Mon. (14v next, in his Robes, as Chancellor to his Royal 1 - 1;;;!inti?.. The report of Lord Motaa being appointed Curator I,r Ole Stannaries in Cornwall is untrue. It mutt have ariten through the ignorance of Tome prawn who heard he is otte of the Council of the 1) Orr of Cornw a ll, an o ffi ce w hi c h h e h as l ong .►• cnjoyckl. Mr. East:we is not appointed Chancellor of the Dichy of Cornwall, but Chancellor to the Passes. The office is very ancient, but fo far from being obfulete, no Prince hut the prefent has been with out furl officer. He is Prefident of his Royal Highnefs's Privy Council. It has been held indif crunimitely by Judges and Connie!, but more fre quently by the former. Sir Rouser EYRE, a Judge of the King's Bench, was Chancellor to GEORG' 11. hen Prince of Wales • and Mr. Jultice DENTON, a Indge of th e Court 4 Common Pleas, held the under his Maje fly's grandfather, Fa sosa r c Prince of Wales. He was fucceeded by Sir Tao ''as Boors e, and since his death there has been ao Chancellor to the Prince until Mr. Easaius's Appointmcut a few days ago. L 0.114 In confequence of the Letter which the !rifts Chancellor of the Exchequer fent to Mr. PUGET, relative to the Loan to be railed in Ireland, the following Gentlemen, who propofe to bid for the Irith Loan, waited yeaerday afternoon on Mr. Cater, viz. Mr. Puo Et, Mr. Gotbstetn, Mr. Alderman FLOWER, Mars. BUItItOWSI, Mr. ROWCRATT, Mr. ShEWIL, Mr. BISH, Mr. GLOVES, Mr. &IV e- WKIGHT, Meflh. JORDAN, &C. Mr. CORKY expreffeci a pleafure in teeing fo many Gentlemen, as the fum required was to in. conliderable. He then briefly explained his in tentions of railing a Loan of 1,6251,0001. Iriffi, to be bid for on the 6th of May, in I:eland ; and to leave it to the option of the bidder, either to take it in a 3 per Cent. Stock, or a 3/ per Cent. Stock. He fhould prefer it to be taken in a 3/ per Cent. as there was already a fimilar Stock in Ireland, which it was his intention to confolidate with the new Loan, if taken in a 31 per Cent. and as an inducement to bid in this Fund, he had fixed the Interell to commence, if in a 3/ per Cent. from the 25th of December, 18ot ; if in a 3 per Cent. not till the sth of April, 11302. However, there could be no difficulty in afcertaining which was moll advantageous for the public, as the teak could eafily be made out on a proportion as 7 to 6. Should an equal proportion be bid in both, thofe whofe bidding was for a 34 per Cent. Stock would be declared the purchafers. He had fixed the pay ments as under : Depofit ' - £.100,000 May ts„ - - 100,000 June 18, - - 1504,00 uly 20, • tsopco Auguft 20, - • 125,000 September 27, • - 225,000 Oetober 23, - • 150,000 November 27, - - 225,000 December 30, - • $25,000 Allowing 4 per Cent. for prompt payment on fuch rums as may be paid up in full after the 15th of May. For the accommodation of the Contradors he intended to deliver either Scrip Receipts fimilar to thofe given in England, or to grant Debentures of 501. and tool. each, but the anterea muff be re ceived in Ireland. On being anted whether he should want any more money this year, to be railed in Iceland ? he replied he thould confider himfelf at liberty to raife any (inn not exceeding one trillion by way of Exchequer Bills, but the precife fum he was not prepared to afcertain at prefent.

Srtacsa PARCITAL was on Tuefday fwot nin as his Majefty's Attorney General. It is fuppofed that Mr. MANNIRS SUTTON Will be the Solicitor General. We underfland that Dr. &mum, Bilhop of Cloudier, is to be tranflAted to the See of St. David's; and that Dr. HUNTINCFORD, the War den of Winchaer, will be the new Bil:hop. The latter was tutor to the Mr. ADDINCTONS, and is an excellent fcliolar, and a firli-rate divine. Tuefday morning a party of Lint feamen befet a Boatfwain's Mate in the Market-place, at Ply. mouth, and beat him mull unmercifully : the town's-people interfered, and took him into ahoufe for ffielter. On remonflrating with them on their cruelty, as he did not belong to their fhip, they replied, he was a Boatfwain's Mate, and that was a fullicient reafon for giving him "a good baiting." Yefterday being the laft day of drawing the State Lottery, the firfl-drawn was entitled to !cool. the fortunate Ticket, No. - 23,976, was divided in to one Quarter, one Eighth, and ten Sixteenth Shares, and fold at the Office of SWIFT and Co. in the Poultry, where feveral other Capital Prizes have been lately Blared and fold. On the arrival of the French expedition at the ifland of St. Domingo, there were in the different ports about fixty fail - of• American veffels freighted with Roar. The Commanders of the French troops propofed to the owners to purchafe their cargoes, by .a payment of one-fifth in fpecie, and to give bills on the Republican Government for the re mainder; an arrangement which was rejetted.— As the French troops were in extreme want of pro vilions, the Admiral and Captain General declared the cargoes in ajitate of requifitinn, aid feized them for the ufe of the expedition. This adt of violence, however, committed in fuch circumftances, will no doubt he eafily explained, and is not likely to pro duce any ferious mifundei (landing. It is mentioned in letters from Amfterdam, that Greek merchants arrived there join in the reports of the affembling of Auflrian troops in the neigh. bourhood of Lemberg. Letters from Frankfort likewife (late, that the Ruffian troops deflined to ad in concert with the Auftrian army have already penetrated into Moldavia. A letter from Vienna of the 26th March fays, “ The entry of the Ruffian troops into the territory dependant on Choczim is confirmed . by feveral letters from Lemberg and Hermenßadt. Subfequent accounts, however, fay nothing further on the fubje&. If thefe ac counts are true, Come hoftile meafitres again!! the Turkifh Empire teems to be in contemplation. In that cafe, if France were to refufe to interpofe to prevent it ; or if the were to connive at any dif memberment of Turkey, this country would be juftrfied in retaining poffeftion of Egypt. It cer tainly would be in the power of France and Pruf fia to compel Auftria to deft& from any aggref- lion on the Porte. Pruffia cannot remain a tame fpetlator of the aggrandifement of Auftria, unlefs the has fecured Come indemnification to herfelf.— We Rill entertain confiderable doubts, however, that any plan of partition is yet ripe for execution.

JOSEPH BONAPARTE, it is faid, cannot take upon him the office of Ambalrador to this country, on account of the low fiature of his wife, who is only fGur feet high. This, however, is fo /We a con fideration, that' we hope it will not prevail, to the exclution of fo high a chara6tcx from our Court. By an Ediet of the Police in Paris, it is forbid. den to fuch fervants of foreigners as wear epaulets of gold or firver, to wear alto laced cocked hats. The order originated in the following eh-cum fiance few nights fince, at the Theatre Fay &au. an Officer entering a box, found before him two perfons in laced blue coats, epaulets, and chapeaux a la Frantaifi, alfa trimmed with gold lace. Between the ads, he alked to what Regiment they belonged. Being dilratisfied with their an fwers, he reprimanded them for their affumption. A didurbance enfued, and, in the end, they proved to be the fervants of the Neapolitan Ambairador. The objed of this ordinance, which was iffued in confequence, is to prevent the poffibility of fuch a millake in future. PARISIAN FAsmons.—A few sleganies have fob flituted in place of the turban, which continues fo obffinately in fafhion, a mob cap, a la Figaro, in fill and gold net, with gold tads. The colour of the mob is crimfon, or dark green. When the chignon: are turned up, the points of the hair com poring them are made to flick out frizzled, or in twilled locks. The Titu: fafhion continues. We ()Verve fome black wigs, Imitiled all over with crochets, and fome frizzled. The veils are placed flat upon the head, and initead of a garland of flowers a la Iphigenia, they are generally hound with a plain white ribbon.—Ahnoft all flippers have coloured ribbons, which are crofled upon the leg. The ufe of diamonds is of late confiderably extended. Diamond collars, ear-rings, and brace lets, are not rare ; they are alfo worn upon almoll all the turbans. The collars of newel' talte are nothing more than a branch on each fide of a plate in high mounting. ASYLUM FOR DEAF AND Dums.—The Anniver fary Dinner of this truly excellent and humane In ffitution was celebrated at the London Tavern on Wednefday, the extenfive room of which was in adequate to contain the numbers who drembled there, with the emulative defire of contributing their affiftance on this charitable occafion. The Marquis of BUCKINGHAM being unable, from in. difpolition, to attend, fent by the Secretary, the Rev. Mr. MASON, a donation of Sol. and the chair wasfucceffively occupied by Sir WILLIAM STAIN i 5, and JONATHAN HOARE, Efq. who exerted them felves very happily in promoting the temperate conviviality of the company. Atter a few cult°. mary bumpers, the children educated in the Afylum Were introduced by the Stewards of the day, and difplayed many very creditable fpecinicns of their proficiency in the ufeful arts of tailoring, filmmaking, &c. difcovering wonderful facility in comprehending, and promptitude in anfwering the various queftions put to them. Four of the molt perfea feverally recited fome lines, compofed for the occafion, not only with affonifhing articulation, but fuch appropriate geflure and emphafis, as af forded convincing proof that they underflood what they delivered. The thanks of the foci ety and company were then given in a full flowing glafs to the Rev. Mr. HARRISON. for a very impreffive and eloquent fermon, preached by him the preced ing Sunday at Bromptop Chapel, by which the fund bad received an acceffion of 671. independent whereof the Voluntary Contributions after dinner amounted in a very few hours to the fum of 3311.
