RUIEW OF THE SCOTCH wars. Yenerday morning being uncommonly fine, there was a great concourfe of people affembled on Athford Common by eight o'clock, to witnefs t he Review orthe Scotch Greys. At a quarter pail nine o'clock, this renowned Corps, ht num• ber about Soo, entered the ground. A finer fet of men we have never feen. Their horfes were well matched and beautiful. About too of the i rh Light Dragoons kept the ground. The crowd of falbionable Company that attended was uncommonly numerous. There were upwards of fifty Gentlemen's carriage:, and gigs, &c. beyond number. At a quarter pail ten his MajzsTv entered the ground on horfeback, accompanied by General GARTH, and efcorted by a party of the t Ith Light Horfe. The King" was received by his Royal flighnefs the Panics of W* Las, the Dukes of You and CUMEIRLANDo and Lord CA THCALIT. Colonel BOTHWILL gave the word of command, and the manoeuvres were as follow r-- I. Oa the King's coating to the ground. the Regimes' starched in troops, and paled him in ordinary thne. s.

His MAJISTS, with much condefeenfion, re turned the bat falute, and exprefed hintfelf highly fatisfied with the dexterous manner in which the various evolutions were performed. During the Review, the Ktao converfed . very often with his Royal nghnefs the Duke of You, Lord ern,- csar, and General GARTH. The Palace Of Waits was on the right of the field, in company_ with Tome Officers. Nib MAJISTIr rode a feta brown bode, and looked uncommonly well. The Duke of You rode a grey horfe. The Sword er ereife kited nearly an hour, and gave unirerfal fatisfaaion. The effea of the funleams en the bright arms of the Scotch Greys was fo effulgent, that it quite dazzled the beholders. .The t nth Light Dragoons marched aaively round to keep the ground - clear. Another party ferved as an efeort to his Majeßy. With the ex- ception of a dangerous fall by one of the Scotch Greys, when the boric tumbled with him, and his foot got entangled in the airrup, when fortunately his boot came off, no accident worthy of notice happened. As Coon as his Msiarry returned the Corps his thanks on the occafion, his carriage was drawn up, tehenihe entered, attended by Gen. Guru and Lord CATRCART. The Royal Carriage drove off, a few minutes paR twelve, to Windfor. The number of fruit and ether Rails, which ens tended along ate fide of the Common was at no time furpareel by any fair. 'There were alto fe veral carts, loaded with porter and Other liquors. The crowd would have . been much more name.' tons had not the papers mentioned that the Re- Skew was to be on Wimbledon Common, whither vat numbers flocked. Among the company on the ground we noticed the following:— The Lag, the Prime et wales, tinkeeit Y. and Cum. baba!, Lord Waal, daserals Gareth Gwyn. Caleraft, Catmint, Colas& Lein, blootiamat. Amason , Man. aianant, Botlrtsdi, Captains Browne, Think two Upton*, Wake, Bowater, Walloon. Mr. Dvailse, tied Mr. Enniby die. fie. be C.nm' Howe, Hon. Mrs. Miff and MW.. KqPs: Mrs. Pare, two Mils Bowater,, two Ms Haskins, Ste. The preeifion and aaivity difplayed on this oc cafion prove the excellent difcipline of the Scotch Greys, whore courage and capacity have often dif- 1 lingoithed them in glorious conteas againa the enemiei .of their Country. With very few ex clptions indeed; they are all natives of Scotland, and talk the broad - dialea peculiar to the place of their birth. However difagreeable this may be to the more delicate or refined ear of an English. man. 'yet the Corps always command the refpea and efteern of every defcription of their fellow fubjeas, by their excellent and exemplary conduit whether on or off the field.. An anecdote. highly honourable to their prowess, aught not to be omit ted on the prefent oceafion. , They were the fa' vdstrite regiment of Cacaos IL who often took great pleakre in demonarating his partiality to a corps which bad rendered his Family effendal Cer vices.

TIMATRi t COVENT GARDEII.-..-1.11 night a Mifs MaitaioT, a lady who has evidently been much ufed to the bufinefs of the Rage, made her firft appearance at this Theatre in the well written part of Claim/a, in Tbs Suhicife• Hs oul. but which, whatever merit the may potTefs, ceitainly does not lie directly within her line of acing. The figure of Kfs MARRIOT is fubftantial, and her "gaiy. rather ungraceful, neither is her face very Charlie teriftically marked ; her voice is full, but mono tonous, and her utteztnte is not well fuited to the dialogue pat into the Mouth of the fportive and elegant coutin of Rawer. We muff, hoitever, fee her again to judge of the extent other thiutrical powers.

The Conntefs of Gaasarzosr,theEarl of Ct. za - nowt., Mrs. FITZHIRSIRT, and a filed party of the Nobility, dined yefterday with the Prince of WALss, at the Pavilion. His Royal Highnefs left this place this morning,for London, to accom. patty his MAJESTY to-morrow, to review the Greys on - Afhford Common. The Pat mca returns here either on Saturday or Sunday. The laft at rivals here are Lieut. Colonel EMIR,. Mr. BAILER ' Mr. WILK:, Mr. KENNEDY, Mr. SHARP, and Mr. HAWTHORN. The Ruffian Prince BAHIA'S"' HUEY is alto here.. Mr. FISH ale S Library at Eallbourne on Monday night was broke open, and robbed of cath and notes to the amount of nearly tool. The villains touched no other part of the property, and, what is very fingular, a bad Milling and a fispence, as unworthy of their attention, were feleaed from the calls, and found on the counter in the morning. The Edinburgh and Berwick packet, from Dieppe, arrived here, with eight palrengers, at two o'clock A. M. to day. MARGATE, SEPTEMBER 23. Lady DUDLIT and WARD is among the lateft arrivals. Her Ladythip has taken a neat houfe for two months oppo6te the Theatre. Lord &owe Low left us yefterday for hii coun try feat. Lady &ova Low remains at Broad- Sir THOMAS LIDDELL gave a grand (upper on Tuefday laft to a fele& circle at Liddell Houfe. The entertainment was given in the ufual ftile. The amount of the fibfcription for the widow and nine children of the man accidentally killed, exceeds 400). The appropriation of this fum is afcribed to Sir Hosacs Mass, and it does credit to his head as well as his heart. The widow is to have an annuity of Isl. for life, and the refidue is to be fettled on the children. The fair at the Recukers, on Monday laft, was not fo well attended as was expelled. The only amufetnents were ifs and pig racing. A Knight'of the Cleaier yefterday relieved him fill from the iticumbrance of his wife,by difpofing of her at the market* crofs, to a Knight of the Comb, for half a crown and a pot of porter, ac cording to the forms in this cafe made and pro- Tided an our civilifed country. The Butcher com plained that the girl was too fentimental for him, and the Barber, who feemed proud of his prize, exclaimed that he loved a woman of fentiment, and led off his delicate companion, followed by the (bouts of the admiring multitude. The Lord Nelfon packet arrived yefterday from London, after a patfage, of 52 'hours. Many of the paffengers, who, calculating upon a Asort paf fage, provided themfelves accordingly, were obli ged to trefpafs on the flock of their fellow-paf fengers. A community of. property foon took place; but about 16 hours before they had reached the h arbour, the whole of their provitions, includ ing the fret! water, were exhaufted. The appear ance of the paffengers on their arrival,particularly the Ladies, can be early imagined; few were able to !Whin themfelves along the pier—they wore literally borne along : A boat has jut} arrived in 15 hours from Oftend. I I have converfed with one of the paffengers, who appears to be a very intelligent man. He Rates that orders have been iffued within the laft fix days r to prevent any Pruifian vetrel which entered the harbour. from,. unloading. This prohibition has been very ftriatVenforced, and it very naturally led to apprehentions that force difference had taken place between the Confular Government and his Prufll Majefty ; a eircumftance, however, ex tremely improbable. My informant taro men tioned to me that .the population of Oftend has confiderably diminithed even fence the peace; that of trade they have none, except a little in falt.— This he attributes to the very high duties which have been impofed on almoft all articles of corn merge by the Fiench Government. The follow. iag addition to thofe already exiting has been ;made within the laft lo days : . cent. upon Tabors:O. aa lb. on Raw Sugar and Corm. 30 °Nes per ton upon Foreign Fib. . •He adds that a tax of 13s. per chaldron has 'bees laid upon all Britifh Coals imported. Boris.- 'ARTS' he defcribes as exceedingly unpopular throughout the whole of the Belgic Provinces.— The horror of anarchy originally reconciled the people, to his power; but that hour is now in a great degree fuperfeded by the aver fi on they enter tain for his perfon and authority, owing to the in ordinate ambition he has manifefted to invade the power of independent nations and thtprivikgeruf the &vie fubjaa to his dominion.

The following extra& of a letter has been hand ed to us for irifertion ; and, from the important difeovery which it contains, we doubt not will be found, upon perufal, to intereft all feafaring men, and thofe of a philoiliphical turn of mind: " Oisikovr, Augaft a as , the fol doe.
