Many of thefe have al ready been arrefted, and have been conveyed t t he Calla of Chalon t but fome have made their' dove, among whom is. General BACHMANN, who had already reached Suabia when the order ar rived. The reafon aligned for there arras is, that thole who are the objeas of them were en- deavouring to excite new difturbances ; but many perfons think they are rather to be attributed to the nature of their negotiations with Foreign Powers. Such meafures, however, only tend to irritate hill more the two parties againft each other. His MAJESTY yellerday rode out on horfeback in Windfor Park. The QUEEN had a card party on Friday even ing at the Lodge, at Windfor.

The garrifons of Malta and Gibraltar are immediately to be reinforced to the full war quota. None of the Regulars, and only a part of the Fencibles, have been reduced ; and both Infantry and Cavalry remain double to what they have ever been fulfered to remain after the conclufion of apy war. The Militia has been difbanded, which the termination of the war neceifarily required ; but the foundation is already laid of the myi formidable internal force which this country ever yet poireired in peace, particularly, in that which has always been confidered as the molt conflitntional. Of Sailors, it has been !fated from authority, that we have at this time near go,ooo, and twice the num ber of (hips that were ever in commiflion on a peace eflablithment.

A man in in the gallery at Covent Garden laft night threw an apple at COOKS, while he was per forming Sir Pertittax Macheophant, in The Man of the World. This nufftve hoftility was, perhaps, the effea of Caledonian patriotifm, which could nil! bear that the fcoundrel hero of the piece, who is the ' , politician of all countries, Would be reprefented as a native of the North. Friday morning a balloon, with fire attached to it, fell upon a hay flack at the head of fouth back of Canongate, Edinburgh, which was eitinguiffied with great difficulty, and in the afternoon, ano ther fire balloon was feen palling over the city.

About eleven o'clock on Thurfday fe'nnight a molt dreadful and tremendous fire broke out in the new ftores and barge houfe of ISAAC MORGAN, Efq.'near the Terrace, Cork, which ended in the entire demolition of that complete eftabli(hment. About twelve o'clock the fire had gained to fuch a height, as to preclude any reafonable profpea of its being extinguifhed ; and the general atten tion appeared direaed to cut off the communica tion of the flames to the adjacent buildings. The houfe of Mr. TERRY, who is concerned with Mr. MoRGAN in this undertaking, appeared, from its contiguity, to be, in the moil imminent danger; and Mrs. TERRY and her daughter were forced to fly for refuge to the houfe of neighbour. The precipitate removal of the furniture (a precaution too frequently adopted with more zeal than judg ment) and the confequent exertions, left but a (battered houfe for the flames to prey on.. Hap. pily, however, neither Mr. TERRY'S houfe, nor Mr. MoRGAN's, were deftroyed ; for the great out fide wall of the ftores fell to the ground, with a hideous craft), and teemed to bury its deftruaive enemy in the ruins it occafioned. The fire, which by this time had communicated to the bake houfes, now raged afrefh ; and the entire of the Rove, with a large quantity of flour, and all the machinery of the 14;ely ereaed Ream-en4ine, were totally confumed, anil the whole bitildmg left a fmoaking ruin.

The failors make thofe who refute to join them, to march in the ftreets with their faces blacked, and jackets infide out. A letter from Sunderland of Thurfday morning Pays, " Tuefday and yeller*, the failors be. longing to the very large fleet of loaded Chips which are lying here wind-bound,affembled in great num. bers upon the quays, Ike. entering the veffels, and compelling the failors on board to join them in pa. rading the ftreets, and demanding an increase of wages. Two of thofe impreffed men feized the figt opportunity they could get, and ran off; unfor. tunately, however, the others marked their retreat, fecured them, and compelled them to march the ftreets all day with their faces blacked, and their jackets turned infide out. This morning they are again affembling. They demand five guineas per London voyage." A letter from Jamaica (late, that a Proclamation was iffued on the 29th of Augull by General b . .

Their children born fince their dep.- cure from the colony, are alfo to be admitted to the full right and privileges of French Citizens. Private Letters from Paris notice numerous ar relations of the Swifs Patriots, who had taken the lead in oppofing the interference of France. That account is fully confirmed by letters from the Hague. General BACHMANN, the Commander in Chief of the army, deftined to at againa the late Government, has, however, effected his efcape, and retired to Suabia. Notwithaanding thisfy(lem of feverity, we learn with pleafure, that the FIRST CONSUL difcourages all the attempts, of the mem. bers and fupporters of the Helvetic Coniiitution, to exercife meafures of revenge and perfecution againft thofe of their countrymen who differed in political fentiment from them. Bort N c.-,--Yefierday morning a great concourfe of people flocked to the Wormwood Scrubs, about 4 miles from Tyburn Turnpike, to fee a pitched Battle, for twenty guineas afide, between a Jew, of the name of Black 5414, who, though not much in the habit of fighting, but who has long been confidered as adept in the art of fparring ; and a young man, a boot.clofer, well known as a pugi. lift. Tom Donee feconded Black Sam, and Sri:brook feconded his opponent. At one o'clock, the ring being formed, they fet to, with the odds fix to four in favour of the Jew. The battle confined of 32 rounds, and never was witnefred more fevere fighting. The Fir) Round the Jew hit the Boot•clofl'r a violent blow on the nofe, from which the blood guthed out ; it appeared alto bent, and he fell to the ground. The Second Round was ip favor of the Chriftian. On the firft fet-to he gave the Jew a knock-down blow; however, the odds 11111 continued on the fide of Mack Sam. They continued the battle until about the four teeenth or fifteenth round, without any material odds op either fide, although much hard figl:ting had taken place. The Sixteenth Round the Jew feigned a blow at his oppon:nt with his left hand, but !truck with his right, and hit him a fevere blow on the tight eye, which caufed it in a !bort time to fwell and dole, and he was never able to recover the fi4ht of it during the remaining part of the battle. lhe odds at this time, the fame as at flailing. Notwithflanding the Boot•clofer had loft the fight of his eye, he continued to fight hard, and in the teuen.;y : ffih round had the Adds in his favour, having placed a fevere blow on the Jew's i ight eye, which alfo doled, and they were now conk. dered on an equality. The thirtilecond round, which was the laft, they both feemed determined to decide the fate of the battle, each fighting in a molt favage and ferocious manner : the Jew * however, tieing the ftrongeft, followed his opponent ttp, and placing a blow un der the Boot-cloferls chin, knocked him down, which finithed the battle. After this fevere conteff was conclude(?, the Boot-clofer lay in a (late of total infenfibility, anti could not be moved off the ground for near au hour. This was thought at &ft to have proceed ed from the very great fatigue he had undergone ; but as late as ten o'clock lalt night he had been at tended by a Surgeon, acid great doubts wete ea. tertained of his recovery.
