PARTZ ; Kaimerdefing, the Nun oast and Governer di Munster, was the precursor of CAVLINCOVAT,. the I Duke of Vicenza. / .. . In 1734, says ihe.Reverend HistOrian, ge ,Yohnldra. a baker of Haerlem.. and John Boccold, a Jou- 1 :ytnan tailor of ;.eyden, fixed their residence- a t i y ter, an Imperialtity of Westphalia, governed its own Bishop, Senate, and Consuls. As mid* -I theie fanatics wanted the talents requisite in despi -ate enterprises, great resolution, the appearance of :snaky, bold pretensions to inspiration, and a con& .lent and plausible Mauer of disconrsiog, they gained, many converts." Amoog these was one Knipper. doling, a citizen of some iniluence. Their next attempt was td seise the town, and having secretly called in their adlerents front the ad- , jacent country, they took possession pf. the public buildings at midnight. The Senators ind i all the No bility fled in Confusion, leaving Ma t thie4, j)ettold, Knipperdoling, and a frantic multitude, inlanscrion of the City. They then new-modelled - the :CO*9- ment--• they sleeted. Senators, and made Itti4tper: doling Consul—" but all thie, , (our learned Historian obserVes,) was nothing niore than forni ; for all their . eirdceedmgs were directed by Matbisti,who in the stile, and with the authority of a prophet, uttered his corn.

Ma.. thias " comnianded every man to bring fol., his gold, AWL+, and other precious effects, and .to lay them at has feet." His next care was to fortify the city, and to r itunmtm his adherents lions all parts, obliging every peklen to Work on the fortification', and training all to the taie of wins. He called Mu ster Mount Sion, aid his endwariee invited the intuit: bitants of the adjacent cm'iuntriel to join bins there, di that they might set out to *the ill the nations of theearth under his dominion" Itei.o9l, pretended, like BONAPARTZ, this he was slid favcierita of HEA VEN, tifid the master of the destinies of mankind !-- .t He was Oft killed, boser, in a sortie igiiiist the troops of the legitimate sereign of Munithi; itiso besieged the place. Boccold then iook upon himself the succession, foe Which he was admirably qualified. ROBERTSON de- scribes him, as a ei still wilder enthUsiast, and of more unboundeattimbition." Be degraded the Senators chosen b 7 ILlthias; and; depriving Knipperdoling of the Conealship (the highest of in the commons wealth), laßpoittted him to nnetute the lowest and ~ most infamous —dratoinOtiainon heigniiii ; to *that strange transition Knipperdolitig (like CAtTLINOOURT) agreed, not only without itturnistrin3, but with the utmost joy t and such, we art told, was the despOtic . " rigour of Boccold's adthinistiation, that be was called almost every day to perform the duties of his wretched function. --. . Like NAPOLEON' BONAPARTE, John Boccold had the ambition to be a King. He soddenly assumed all the state and pomp of royalty ; he wore a crown of gold, and was clad in the richest and most sumptuous garments; a great body of guards accompanied him when, .119. apper.ecl -stn • public; he coined money, stamped with. his own image ; and nominated the great offioere ofinsironsehold from among the rabble by whom he was surrounded. Knipperdoling was made Minister for Foreign Affairs, as a reward for his former submission. ' . . - . . Boccold next indulged himself with putting away his wife and marrying another, on account of her extreme beauty : she - was theividovi of Mathias, and although he subsequently married fourteen ottilth she alone was called Quee n . .k his adheres ,Frey excess was committed of which the passions itiaili are capable, when restrainetineither by the audieeity A of laws nor the sense Of decency." While BaccOld was meditating an irruptitliti bits Germany, and a visit to Masco* the Gormais Wiens 14 offended at 'the insult offer to their diissity bp Boevettreptesuniptucus usurpation of royal hoar 45," armed the;r subjects against him. Several sweilk bo. dies of fanatics coming, to ha aid, was cut toßieees• i and he was at length shut up in Monstor WIWI, No reverse of fortune could shake the fetneknis illilln4 slacity ofkthis fellow. In the midst of the aeries* j of his wives having doubted the truth of the Elinor oLone of his puppets (for Bdccold had also his Car (mai Mums), and expressed her doubts as to the reality of a his divine mission," he called the whole number together, - and commanding the blasphemer, as he called her, to kneel down, cut off her head with his own bands! . - ..... The last moments of this monster are that finely described by the venerable Historian ! The descrip tion is an anticipation of that termination of BONA PARTE and CACTLAINCOUAT'S career, without which • Europe cannot expect to enjoy that " LONG RhtOSE, " to conquer which her whole population are now in arms ! The scene will, we trust, he laid in Paris : '• if. The besieged endured the utmost rigour of fa mine ; but they chose rather to suffer hardships, the rcciial of which . is shocking to humanity, than to Visten to the terms of capitulation offered them.

" The enemy, who are still in possession of the castle of Denia, defend it with an obstinacy which approaches to brutal temerity. Their hopes, how. ever, can continue no longer that till. the provisions which they had collected are expended ;—and the Commandant of the French engineers, on being sum moned, had the audacity to reply, that he cannot be expected to surrender till that resource shall fail him. The castle has been battered for eight dais with 19 pieces of artillery, and a *each has been effected, but it is not yet practica6le: " Nothing pew of importance has occurred relitive . to the sieges of the other places Which the enemy stilt holds in this province ; but the . glorious advance ofi our vi pliant armies into the Interior of France._ and the decisive success in faiour Ofthe good cause obtained in Germany on the 19th of dctober, cannot but deprive the enemy who remain in SRain of all hope, and Who must now look upon it as their sepulchre."

Yesterday the Princess CHARLOTTE visited the. l Princess of WALEs, for the first time this season, and her fast visit to her Royal Mother's new house.. 'bit:mess CHARLOTTE arrived at the house in Con naught-place, inter carriage, soon after four o'clock, whoye she was received by her Royal Mother in the' 'kat affectiOnate manner, who conducted her over lie house. Her Rept' Highness particularly ad mired the Chinese.roorn, and the library, although the latter is by no means finished; and is fitting up tir l a very novel and peculiar style. The Chinese-room is exactly the same as that which was in her Royal i Highness's house at Blackheath, the materials, &c. for which had been removed to Connaught-place. At quarter past 6ve o'clock, the Princesses sat dowit to dinner. At.seven o'clock, Princess CHAR , Lorre took leave of her Royal Mother for Warwick House. The Princess has experienced a severe loss in the death of her faithful servant Miss SAurrnans, within these few days. The PRINCE REGENT will leave town at the begin- , ning of next week, for Belvoir Castle. We understand that a most magnificent entertain ment is to be given on the 7th of January, when the Princess CHARLOTTE comes of age.

By a Gentleman just come over from Passages, we learn, that at Ilayobne they were preparEd for a siege ; and that a large garrison had heel sent bt, and a great part of the women and old Men tu . rne o i out of the town by the Governor, about 1000 whom had made their way to the Britiih army, and Ware protected. The right of our army had advanced to the bank of the Nive, and Sir ROWLAND Hat. was ready to pass. On a given signal, Sir JOHN HOME and Mar shal BERESEGRD would move forward the left and cen tre of the army. The French soldiers expected Botta- PARTE at Bayonne ; part ‘ of his Staff, it was reported, had arrived, and the English army was in the highest spirits, wishing for nothing so mach as to see their admired and immortal leader pitted against BONA.

At first all was desolate, not. an inhabitant to be seen, empty houses inisani fur niturei. and much appearance of wreck—how we have a fine large town-full of . it: sews inhabitants, French, cordially mixed with several regiments of British Ghards, at you would see them in Westminster-.all the shops open, and all of them full of goods. As they get hard doll Ats for their articles, and as ail disorder is prevented, the shops have been emptied , and replenished since our army.came in.. . " Lord WELLINGTON has made this -a free port./ and, instead -of seizing all . the coasting vessels and boats which be found here, gave them up to the pro prietors on their returning to their homes ; the con sequence is, that the markets are well stocked with fish and all articles, the produce .of the country.— They tell us we shall have every thing there is in . Bayonne, Bourdeaux, and on the coast, if our cruizers do not molest them. A Guernsey trader with wine, and a sloop from Poole, came in and soon disposed of their cargoes, and to such advantage that they will not be long in making us another visit.
