BATH ' , OCT, te..—The general burß of joy which pervaded our own country, as loon as the news of a fuccefsful negotiation was made public, has been flifficient to convince every one of the univerfal with for the Weft - mg 'which the country entertained. " Neal the fore: of the land, for ill Jhaketh," had for years been the fecret afpiratibn of every man, to whom the welfare of his min try, or the interests of humanity, were dear; and the exptelfions of delight, tin the coalition of a war that oppofed itfelf to both, have been propor tionately great. In this city, there manifellationl difplayed themfelves lag night , in a manner more fplendid than any former occafion had ever called ' but. Brilliant illuminations, Einblematical tran fparencies, and appropriate mottos, covered the fronts of the houfes of our elegant city, and ter tified what the temper of the public mind had long been here on the cpietticn of war or peace ;• and which the neighbouring villages alto of Twer ton, Welton, Bathealton, &c. evinced they had felt, by limiter exprethons - of joy.—The welt front of the Rooms, an extent of an iso feet, was en riched with variegated lamps ; and the pediment over the principal entrance fitted with a tranfpa rent painting, reprefenting Britannia feated on a tuck, holding a medallion of his Majelly, fur rounded with a wreath compofed of rofes, thirties, and tharnrock ; the Britith Lion recumbent; ap propriate military trophies, with fliipping in the back ground.

Tea was juft finiflted, when the difcbarge of a cannon announced that the Grand Obelifk, which Rands near the VtrhiteTower on the very fummit of the Terrace, was lighted up, and that the Fire works were going to be let off ; which was then done, nein a tremendous roar of cannon, which, from the advantageous fituation, amongft high rocks and woods, echoed in a molt aftonifhing autism from all quarters; but the principal tract:. ;anion, with the words ‘, &ace in large telego. phi; letters on all the four fides, loft its effea by the violence of the wind, ,Which at fo great an height extinguifhed the torches as fart as they wise lighted, and tore the tranfparent materials to pieces: this, however, did not prevent the general effea from being truly fuperb.

Dr. 1, Fot.t Ex, of Upper Brook-ftreet, London, with the liberality and humanity which diflinguith many others who have retired, after a life of ex. tenfive praftice, has communicated to B. D. PER INS, of Leiceder-fquare, London, fome important obfervations on, and experiments with, his Patent Metallic Tractors; on the final me r its of which he thus concludes : " 1 have aced the Traders its very numerous inftances with great fuccefs, and have the firmeft confidence In their utility, among fuch as have a pleafure in the poffeffion of the means of 1 relieving the fuffaings of their fellow-creatures"—After tailing feveral cafes of Tooth-ach, (welled Faces, Sprain, and itheumatifm, he recites the foftuvring decifive expert:tient " A Lady, aced 60, whom the Tradors relieved of a Rhea- , matifm of tong Itanding in the Ihnulder, found a great warmth during the application, and which was extraordinary, felt tbs. burning fenfation continue for fever,' days.

Coroner for the County of Middletex, on 'view of the body of William Lamb. The Jury, after having received the ufual charge from the Coroner, prceeeded to view the body uf the deceafed, who appeared to have come violent- • ly by his death ; a perfon of the name of James Legge, was in cuflody, charged as the author of ft. • The follinving evidence was produced to the Jury : John Forger, a penfioner in Chelfea Hofpital, laid, he had known the deceafed about (even years previous to his death, and had alto known James Legge for fometime , _• they were both Captains, and petitioners in the Hofpital. They had had a quarrel about two or three years ago, and were going to fight with fwords : but were prevented by Major Bulkeley, through whole interference their difference was made up, and they continued ap- • patently upon terms of friendfbip with regard to each other. On the Friday morning, he heardthe report of a pilled in the apartment occupied by thedeceafed and James Lcggc ; in confequence of which he went there, and found the deceafed lying on his back, in his own room, dead, and bloody. Legge was in the outer apartment, which divided his from the deceafed's ; he faid, he had done it, or to that effea. The witntfs afked hint, why he had killed his companion ? he replied, he bad done his duty, and was well pleated. A piftol (the fans* i now produced to the Jury), with the flock broken, was lying ott the cheft of drawers ; he took it, and he alto feized the piflol in Legge's hand, who wanted it back again ; the flint of the cock was down, as if it had been fired ; he put the ramrod into the barrel of the broken piftol, and holding it downwards, a piece of paper dropped out, and the leaden bu llet; now produced ; but he did not find any gunpowder in it, and was of opinion, there was very little priming in the pan. • • Charles Coates, fervant to General Dalrymple, Lieutenant-Governor of Chclfea College, depofed, that on the preceding morning, in conlequence of hearing the fcreaming of women, he went into the Ward Where the deceafed Lamb lived ; he found the deceafed motionlefs on the floor, with only his fhirt and undertwaiftcoat on, covered with blood, but more particularly on his right breafl. Suppof ing the deceafed had laid violent hands on him, fell, he dked the women why they had not pre vented it ? Legge came out of his bed-room, and exclaimed, 4 , I have done it !" adding, " that he had given the deceafed a piftol to come out and fight him like a man, but that lie threw it down, and he had then fired at him." He returned to his bed-room, and brought nut the patois, one of • which appeared to Live been juft fired, and the room (melt thong of gunpowder. A bullet dropt from the barrel of the piflol with the broken flock, which, as well as he recolleCteci, was on the half cock, and the pan was well primed with gunpow der. The deceafed was it that time quite dead. Legge did not attempt to efcape, but faid he was well fati-ified with what he had done. The wittlets kn•w .sf no them *l. `" one which Major Bulkcley had fettled about two years ago. Ann Lamb, the widow of the deceafed, raid. fhe had retitled with her litifband in Cliclfes Hof- - pital for the tail feven years ; there were four (mall rooms allotted for four Captains in one a partment ; the deceafed oectipied one of them, and Legge another : about feven o'clock the morning before, fhe ftw Legge walking about in a rage. and ding abufive laognagc to the deceafed, who was iithed,but gut up toon afterwards. Legge preft ed through the door of their apartment, and then riot to a ;drawer in his own, froni which he took out two large herfe-piflols; the deceafed's bed-room door was but a little way open, andLegge rullied in, and thruft one of the piftols into his band; the de ceafed immediately exclaimed, " D—n me, what's this for ?—what's the matter now ?"—and threw it from him. At that mcment the bullet (now produced) rolled upon the floor. The deceated was (landing jolt by his own bed-room dodr, with no thing but his fhirt and under-waiftcoat on, which he ufually flept in, and Legge was clofe by him. The witnefs Caw Legge fire his pittol at the deceaf ed, who fell inflantly; he only exclaimed, .. My dear !" and died without uttering another word. Legge faid, .4 I have done it"—The wand's knew of no quarrel between them but that which Major Bulkeley fettled two years ago. Ann Grant, a male at the Hofphal, laid, fhe had known Legge for eight years, during feveral of which he had been in the Infirmary, and had only quitted it in May ; he frequently corn phoned of a diforder in his head, and often ap peared deranged, low fpiritcd, and dejefted, which the attributed to that diforder. Mr. North and Mr. Carpue, two Surgeons, gave their evidence in thefe tams: They found the deceafed had received a wound evidently from a ball, which had entered between the fifth and filth rib, on the right fide, and had fraCtured the filth ' rib near the cartilage, palfed obliquely through the right lung, and luperior rrra raa•.t through left lung, through the fcventh rib on the lett tide, thence through the moles and iraegimienti.,,m.iking itsway out tht °ugh the inferii angle tithe Such wound would c•l' moth: nee:llion imin.iiiiate death. v. as the thole of the eviiknce.
