Bills 2s. is. pr.—Bauk Lein Annuities 14 1-16th By a vessel which is arrived in the River from Ostend, we have advices from Paris to the date of the Ist instant; but neither the Letteis nor Papers furnish an y farther intelligence of the operations of the Grand A rm y, which, it Was supposed, continued on the Sik si:in frontiers. In addition to the accounts which we gave 'rester day from Hamburgh, we have to give the following particulars :—A Gentleman who arrived with the packet that brought the Mail, states, that the French force under DAVOUST, which had occupied that city , did not exceed 700 men. Up to the 2cl instant no excesses had been committed by the French, who t eemed to act upon the 'principle that ere long they themselves might possibly vett' commiseration and j~rbearance. The Marshal had demanded from the City a contribution of six millions cf marks (about 1000,0(10) which the Burghers were unable to pay, bet no coercive measures had been resorted to. The Trench, the moment they gained possession of the place, began to provide means for a safe retreat in case of necessity, by throwing a bridge over to WA helmsburg, en which work several hundred carpen ters were actively employed. There was a report at Heligoland that after Gene ral Teiretesonzt with the Hanseatic Legion and the Cossacks left Hamburgh, he gained a signal advan tage over the French at Borgedorff ; but before the Packet sailed this report was known to be unfounded. Another report, which we stated yesterday, of VICTOR'S corps having sustained a defeat on the road to Berlin, received a partial confirmation after our Paper was at Press by the publication of private ac. counts in our Second Edition, which had reached Go verment, and which we again insert : EXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTER, DATED HELIGO- LAND, STH INSTANT. I " A respectable Merchant who arrived here this morning from Hamburgh, along with a merchant of that City, states, that they left Hamburgh on Wed- 1 nesday morning. There were then 5000 French troops in the town, under the command of Marshal it.tvousT and General VANDANNIE. 46 These troops were mostly wretched looking sol diers, consisting of Douaniers, Gens d'Armes, Mari ners, and National Guards ; and, although the Dienes were supposed to have allied themselves with them, the French seemed very uneasy, and much alarmed, and bivouaqued outside the gates of the Town at night, not trusting to the inhabitants nor to the Danes, who openly declare that they will not fight for the French, but against' them. 66 It was reported and credited en Wednesday morning et Hamburgh, that a corps of 2 0 ,0 (1 0 men, under Marshal Vicron (the Duke of BELLUNO), which had been detached from the Grand Army, had been cut off by the Allies, supported by the Levy en Masse, on the 9.'ith ult. and completely routed. " The letters from Berlin, of the 29th ult. are very satisfactory, and such was the confidence entertained there of the success of the Allies, that orders were sent to Heligoland for large supplies of Colonial pro duce and British Manufactures." The corps alluded to in the above letter is probably SEBASTIANI'S. He had, as stated in a former STAR, advanced some time since, together with Vicron, as tar as Lukau, in the direction of Berlin. Vic-ma was suddenly called away on the 21st ultimo to join the main army, and it would appear that Vox Butotv and NRSTEL, availing themselves of the circum stance, had in consequence advanced against SEEAS• TIANL We are therefore not without hopes that the intelligence will yet be confirmed. We have already intimated, that the French act at }lamburgh as if they thought it possible that they themselves may soon experience a reverse in that quarter. The advance of 'the Swedes must embarrass them not a little ; but we think their chief apprehen-' sons arise from Austria, and we beg'n to entertain strong hopes that that Power has resolved not to look on with indifference, and suffer NAPOLEON to realize his schemes of conquest and subjugation : indeed we have been informed from a most respectable quarter, that Austria has given assurances to this effect to the ; and we know, that among the monied men in the City a loan for the use of Austria is not only flpected , but ' desired, by the capitalists, who are - ady to advance any sent that may be necessary to enable that Power to act with vigour in the contest, should NAPOLEON persist, in spite of the remonstrances of Austria, in his hostile attempts to give law to the Continent The occupation of Hamburgh by the French is a distressing circumstance, and the last Order is,ued by Von 1-IrssE to the Burgher Guard;given in another c4lumn, will be read w;th lively emotion by every perion who knows the value of political liberty.— " The faint dawn which still opens to the future" will, we fondly anticipate, blaze ere long with an effulgence of meridian splendour, and 44 destroy the delusion of tyranny."

MURDER OF MR. AND MRS. BONAR. CONFESSION OF NICHOLSON, &c. ' We yesterday stated that Nicholson had confessed his guilt. The following are some further interesting and authentic particulars :—On Monday, in conse. quence of the numerous visitors, at Chislehurst, (among whom were Lord CASTLEREAGH, Lord CAM DEN, and Lord ROBERT SEYMOUR), who went to con template the supposed murderer, Nicholson shewed repeated symptoms of annoyance and agitation ; this circumstance, together with the attempt to make him look more cleanly, c:tused his wound suddenly lo bleed afresh. This happened about seven o'clock in the evening. The hemorrhage being of an alarming nature, an express was immediately dispatched for Mr. A.Coorsat. He arrived at about 11 o'clock.— Mr. BIiAMSTON, the Catholic Clergyman, came about the same time with Mr. BONAR. The wound was dressed, and nothing farther then took place. Yester day morning at half past six o'clock, Nicholson vo luntarily requested Mr. BRAMSTON, who had. been with him a short time, to bring Mr. BONAR to him immediately. Mr. BONAR went to him, when Nichol. son burst into tears, and begged pardon of M. 13osaiii, expressed his wish to make a full confession. Mr. WELLS, the Magistrate, who resides at Briskly• house, in the neighbourhood, was sent for ; and in, the presence of the Magistrate, and other Gentlemen, Nicholson made, and afterwards signed, a deposition, acknowledging himself to be the murderer. He states, that on Sunday night, after the groom left him, he fell asleep upon a form in the servants'- hall, the room where he was accustomed to lie that he awoke at three o'clock by dropping from the form: tie jumped up, and was instantly seized with an idea, which he could not resist, that he would murder his master and mistress ; he was at this time half un dressed ; he threw off his waistcoat, and pulled a sheet from his bed, with which he wry pped himself up : he then snatched a poker from the grate of the servants' hall, and rushed up stairs to his master's room : he made directly to his mistress's bed, and struck her two blows on the head ; she neither spoke nor moved : he then went round to his master's bed, and struck him once across the face: Mr. Bososit was roused, and from the confusion produced by the stun ning violence of the blow, imagined that Mrs. BONAR was t len coming to bed, and spoke to that effect : dia. when he immediately repeated the blow, Mr. BONAR sprung nut of bed, and grappled with him for 15 minutes, and at one time was nearly getting the better of him ; but being exhausted by the loss of blood, lie was at length overpowered: Nicholson then left him groaning on the floor. He went down stairs, stript himself naked, and washed himself all over with a sponge, at the sink in the butler's pantry.— He next went and opened the windows of the draw ing -room, that it might be supposed some person had entered the house that way : lie then took his shirt and stockings, which were covered with blood (the sheet he had left in his master's room), went out at the front door and concealed his bloody linen in a bush, covering it with leaves : the bush was opposite the door, and not many yards from it : he then re turned without shutting the outer door, and went to the servants'-hall: he opened his window-shutters and went to bed (it was not yet four o'clock) : he did not sleep, though he appeared to be asleep when King came for the purpose of waking him at half-past six o'clock. He stated, in the most solemn manner, that no person whatever was concerned with him in this horrid deed ; and to a question put to him, whether he had any associate ? answered, 6 How could he, when he never in his life, before the moment cf his jumping up from the form, entertained the thought of murder ?' He can assign no motive for what he did :he had no enmity or ill-will of any kind against Mr. or Mrs. BONAR. This deposition was regularly given before the Magistrate, and attested by Mr. A. COOPER, Mr. HERBERT JRNNER, the Rev. Mr. LOCKWOOD, Mr. It.oTT, and Mr. BONAR. It appears that Nicholson had been drinking a great quantity of the beer of the house during the Sunday ; and though it is not stated that he was in toxicated, yet the quantity might have had some effect on his senses. In consequence of Nicholson's information, search was made for the Ilnen, and it was found in a laurel bush close to the house, covered with leaves, except about two inches : the stockings were very bloody, and the shirt was also rent almost to rags about the neck and throat. Nicholson, who, before the confession, looked gloomy, and fierce, and malicious, has since that period been perfectly and has even an air satisfaction in his countenance. H e appears to repent his attempt at suicide, and it is not apprehended that he would now repeat it, though the watchfulness of his attendants is not on that account at all rorukted. He is at present in a tolerably fair way, but his reco. very is somewhat doubtful, because it is feared that it may be nece%sary to re-open the wound, an opera tion which may be tollcwed with dangerous conse quences. Every thing which may tend agitate him is studiously avoided, and as few persons as possible are admitted to see him. - Mr. Boxart rode to town early yesterday morning with the intelligence of the conlesion, to Bow-street, and afterwards communicated the same to theSECRE. TARY of S E. 411'011IER MURDER. A very decent elderly widow woman, uho kept a , small chandler's shop within two hundred yards of the Castl4: Inn, at WandfOrd, was on Monday morn- ing found murdered behind her counter. She ap pears to have been sitting on a wooden chair at the back of the counter, casting up on a slate, either the receipts of the day, or the amount of some articles which the perpetrator. of this horrid deed had pre tended to purchase ; when, it is conjectured, she m st have received a violent blow between the eyes, af.er which a large knife, with which she was in the habit of cutting the cheese, &c. was plunged into her • bloat, whereby the jugular vein and the windpipe were both cut. When discovered, she was lying upon her face on the floor behind the counter, and the bloody knife depoSited upon a kind of wooden bench within a yard of the place whete the body lay. The murder must have been committed late on Saturday evening, atter the shop was closed; and was not discovered until Monday morning,' as her neighbours .keard her say she was going out on the following day, which being Sunday, no suspicion arose from the windows -, remaining closed until Monday morning, when en trance was obtained by the window. Her pockets were turned inside out, and the till emptied; but some silver spoons were lying in the back parlour, untouched, and upwards of seSO in a box in her bed room. Tiro door nas a spring lock, which was closed upon the heels of the murderer, who, no doubt, quitted the house by the front door. It is remarkable that there is a cottage, with a family, next door, which is merely divided by a thin lath and plaster partition, and no noise was heard. Two Magistrates are actively employed in examin ing, witnesser;, and collecting evidence for a Coroner's Inquest. At present suspicion attaches to a journey man tailor, who has been lately discharged from his work in the neighbourhood, and was seen in the poor woman's shop late on the night of the Saturday pre ceding; the day on w:.ich the murder was committed; and the deceased is said to have complained to a neighbonr, who happened to come into the shop at that time (after the man had left it), that he had alarmed her very much by his manner, and had made her vet y uneasy by dodging and watching her, and using strange language. from other circumstances (it this be the man) there is nu doubt but he mean: to have pet patrated the murder on the first Saturday, after the receipts of the week tvare all collected in her till, but was disturbed by the woman in question coming in, which was near eleven o'clock, when the shop was shut for the tight. A lU4II ut the descrip tion alluded to was traced upon the London mad, on' Monday morning, near Stratford, who had on a psis. trowsers very bloody at the knees. Search is•niakin'y after him.

The Regiment (103 J). va cated by Sir G. L. Cote, was also given av ay. The mistake is rectified in last night's Gaze/A % INQuesr.—An Inquisition was held on Tuesday the Ist inst. at Upton-upon-Severn, on the bodies of H. Weed, a corporal in the 2lth Foot ; J. Tayl•ir, George, and W. nettling, recruits in the same regi. ment ; and W. Pumphrey, a Waterman, of Up ton ., By the evidence it appeared, that eight young men, of whom the five already named formed a part, took a fisherman's boat, on Sunday evening, for t:te pose of going to Hanky Quay and back by water. They were returning from this excursion, when Pu tr phrey, who had the management of the boat, rock td it, in order, as he observed, to frighten the recruits. In consequence of this folly, the bait filled and tunk._ Two of the party swam to the shore, procured :tamer boat, and rowed u ith their hats in searcti of their companions, who had been carried a considerable dis. tance by the current. Of those struggling in the river, one only was preserved by this assistance, the rest unhappily perished. It seems to be clearly ascertained that Puniphrey was alone to blame : he was a good swimmer, and would have saved himself, had not the corporal held him fast by the collar in the convulsions of death, and thereby prevented him from using the necessary exertion. The Jury returned their verdict—" Accidental Death, occasioned by Pumphrey rocking the boat."—The three men saved are Oakley, a waterman ; Callowbill, and another soldier, of the '2d regiment of Foot CORN-MARKET', MARK-I.ANE, JUNE 9.
