rand Saxons, we have little fear of the Arft This will be, beyond comparifon, the *retell tonten the French have yet fuftained. We with, however, the Prnffians were properly fupported. The Ruffians are fpoken oft but why are they not ready to enter the (cane of anion ? Fifty thoufand now would be worth three times that number a month hence. It appears that Bowsprits." ♦iews the impending eonteß as very formidable. Not only is the Rower of his army already in Germany drawn towards the Proffian and Saxon frontiers, but reinforcements from every quarter where there are difpofable troops batten to join the Grand Army. In addition to this Martial Kettatstrim is bully employed in orga nizing the National Guard of the departmenti on the left Bank of the Rhine, and General RAM pow thofe in the northern departments. The elite of thefe are to be formed into a !petits of Army of Referve, and a molt peremptory order has iffued for forming a camp for the northern apartments at St. Omer's i ;there the troops are to meet on the tit of this Month. The Dutch troops, it appears, were in motions as well as the French and are declined to take part in the campaign. They are matching towards Ger many, and fevers' regiments have paired by Wefel. King Louts himfelf is about to take the field. It Items not improbable, should Pruffia be fuccefs ful in the firlt onfet, that Auftria may take a part in the war. The Emperor and the Archdukes CHAR LES and Jona were about to proceed to Upper Aultria, under pretence of vifiting fome of the nobility in that province. The other branches of the Imperial Houle were to be difpatched to other parrs of the Auflrian dominions at the fame time. The garri fon of Vienna had alfo received orders to prepare for going into a pleafure camp, or, in other words, to take the field. A ftrong corps was alfo affem bling at a fhort diaance from the Capital, on the frontiers of Hungary, in which kingdom the &sty ea mfe was expeCted to be declared permanent. When we add to thefe the number of troops which are al ready colleited in Bohemia, we feel fome difficulty in perfuading ourftlyes, that all thefe expenfive prepa rations are for the mere purpofe of maintaining the inviolability of the Auftrian territory. The Paris Papers informed us that the French army would be affembled nearWurtzburgh by the 4th Oc tober. This is very likely t the two armies would by that time be ready for action, and if no new negncia• tion was opened, for that of M. KNOBILSOORF was at at end, hoftilities would begin about the 6th or 7th of this month. All the French Generals who had received leave of abfence, Atm Nay, and others, have taken the command of thcir corps. AU• G scum had feareely reached Paris, when he was fent off again, and arrived at Frankfort on the tO, in ex. peclation that his corps would be immediately put in motion. L , who has keen in retirement fince lalt campaigp, is again in the field, and every other French General of coofequence. The condo& of the French Government, indeed, thews that not only no hope of peace is entertained, but that the conflict will be fevere and may be long.

' (Crattioued trem out Paper of Saturday.) Oct. 6.—The LORD LIEUTENANT did not arrive at Garbally, the feat of Earl exam- CARTY, near this town, till near eleven o'clock lift night, from a dilappointment in poll bodes on the road. It was dark when he palled through Athlone, and confequently he could not infpef the new mili tary works now completed there, lorsoing an impor. tent fortrefs. The garrifon, Connfling of the a rit foot, and the Wicklow Militia, with the corps of Artillery, were under arms to receive him. This morning his Grace and fuite, accompanied by Lord Csawcaarr, rode through the Cheep fair in his Lord. Osirr's carriage, which, although Sunday, was let ac cording to ancient, but indecorus triage. The Duke was Much Rruck with the pinureque affemblage of fuels numerous bodies of (beep (arneunting to nearly too,o6o) kept In (kilfully detached, without the ufo of pens, or dogs, by the attire vigilance of the Irith (hepherds. The revise was much heightened by the finenefs of the weather. His Grace clofely infpelled the fever.d Rocks, pointing out thole which had de rived moll improvement by the crofs of the New Lei cefler breed. Afterwards he rode into the town, and viewed the New Rooms, and fpacious area for the exhibition of Show Cattle belonging to the Farming Society, whole invitation to dine with them on Mon day and Tuefday, he gracioufly accepted. A eon fiderable portion of the (beep were fold, even on this day (the Sabbath), which, it teems, is a day of reit neither from labour or profit, at Ballinatloe fair.— The prices were higher than thole of lag year full 3s. per head on the average. The two (beer wethers of the County Rock fetched from pl. to 401. a (core the prime Rocks, with the Leicetler, reached as high as 521. los. The Farming Society dined numeroufly together, as unroll, with their highly refpetted Pre fident, Mr. Friars., in the Chair. Soon after the cloth was drawn, ht called the attention of the So ciety to a letter with which he had been honoured by his Grace the Duke of BEDFORD, the contents of which he fhould have the pleafure of communicating to the Society. He then read the letter, in which his Grace recommends to the Society a continuance of that regard to the breeding Rock of Ireland, fo elTential to the welfare of the Imperial Kingdom, as the food of man. It is an elegant and interelling com plaints, with a perufal of which the public would be highly gratified, and which will probably be laid before them, under the direttion of the Society. The letter doled with Rating, that his Grace bad ordered to be Chipped for Ireland, viz. A Dull of the Hertford kind A Ditto of the North Devon Six Tops of the South Down Six Ditto of the New Leizeiter. Theft his Grace requelled the Society would accept, and apply in fuch manner as appeared to them molt advifeable, for the improvement of the Rock of Ire land. The thanks of the Society were voted to his Grace for this liberal mark of attention to the object of the Society, and his health was drank, accompa nied with the louden applaufe. To-morrow the Duke will view the Prize Stock io the Area (which were this day perfealy clafl'ed) previous to the infpeBion of the Judges. Dimas, Ocr. 7..—Yenerday, according to notice, the (hew of neat cattle, fheep, honks and fwine, was held at Ballinafloe. The (hew was attended by a numerous concourfe of people from ever y part of the kingdom, and was honoured by the prefence of his Grace the Duke of Bent - oars, and many other pet tons of dillinflion. This day the premiums will be ad judged, and all the flock will be placed in the order of merit, and mull remain to be iofpeBed till five o'clock to morrow evening. (To be eoneinutd.) The running match between Meas. BASTIN and Basis/Knorr, took place on Saturday morning, on Hampton Common. The competitors were to run three ineatuted miles on turf, and the above (pot was fixed on by one of the umpires, who canted flag-polls to be fixed as a boundary. S was the favou rite, and he led his opponent for the firll mile, at which dillance he was twenty-five yards a head: he flackened his pace, and Bccossour came up with him ; they kept together at an eafy pace, until within half a mile of the winning poll, when BEAUMONT made play, and, to alt appearance, had the bell of the match ; but, when within three hundred yards of the decifive fpnt, 8 patted his adverfary with cafe, and arrived twenty yards a head. The match was for too guineas. EXTRAORDIN•RY EFFOIT •On Saturday a Co:- riot:, Exhibition took place on the River :—A young man, a carpenter, who undertook for aSmall wager to row in a Ira/bias Tut from Milbank to London Bridge, feated himielf in the Tub, and had a (cull in each hand, with which he balanced himfelf, and rowed down the River, in the pretence of feveral thoufand (inflators. As he patted through the dif ferent Bridge;, the Tub was twirled round by the current, whilll he Tung tome fa voutite tong. The fpeCtators often flatted with the dread of feting him drowned, while he fat unconcerned ; and, although the tide was very rapid, and on its ebb, he effected j his purpofe in fafety, and won his wager. The wife of a mechanic, in Abel's buildings, Rote lmany-lane, was on Friday morning taken in labour, Tome weeks before the expated ; Ile was in conk quence unprovidcd for the occation, and in the hurry, they gladly accepted of the fervices of a woman who was herfelf far advanced in her pregnancy, as tunic, &c. but fympathy or tome other cattle accelerated the time of the poor accouchrufe, and (he WAS a.lually delivered before the woman the had been employed to attend. ROYAL, DRURY-LANll.—Saturd - ay night the Comedy of The Wonder was performed at this Theatre, for the purpnfe of introducing what was called a new performer, of the name of Cali srs, in the charader of Colonel Briton. This gentleman, howe ver, we believe, tried his fortune tome time lince he. fore a London audience in the charaBer of °Argo.— His ayle of aftin; is feeble, and be has little either of vivacity or (pith to give force or elle& to the meaning of his anther. The charader of Gal, was reprefenied by Mr. Comity t and although we arc &plied to allow that Onr confide, able met 01 fume parts, we think he ought never to attempt this part again. .10 dRKZANB.

Saturday a fire broke not at the Holyland Coffee- Houle, near Somerfet Place, in confequence of the chimney which communicates with the coffee-rnona. being overheated, and letting fire to the rafters Of the floors above. Much alarm was excited, but the timely arrival of the engines nearly confined the da• wage to part of the roof of the boufe. An inquifition was taken on Tburfday evening at a public-hnufe a few mkt from Uxbridge, on the road to Hewett's Bottom, On the body of a perfon unknown, who was fuppnfed to have been Eliot in s duel on the day preceding. The only evidence by which it could bt afcertained how the deceafed came by his death, was given by two farmer's men, who, whilll in purfuit of hufbandry in the fields of Mr. Watkins, their empliyer, heard the report of pinch not far from them ; and on approaching the fpot, they perceived about fix perfons, two of whom, ac. cording to defeription, were engaged in a duel. One of them fell in the ptefence of the witneffes, and he was conveyed to a neighbouring houfe, where he was put to bed ; ►ut a wound in the fide deprived him of life in about two hours. The whole of the party who were with the deeeafed abfconded ; but by papers found about the deceafed, his name was fuppofed to be Woodcot. He was a genteel dreffed man, about twenty-five years of age.—Verdiet M. flougker. Saturday a packet of Virginia papers was received by the Farmer, arrived in the Clyde. One of them containy the fpeech of the Chairman of the (tinter Seffions at Portfmouth, in allufion to the differences mining between the United States and Great Britain. " Let us deprecate," raid he, " all contention with that magnanimous nation from whom we are fprung, and whole language, oufloms, religion, and, I true, whore virtues we inherit ; although a fatality in poli tics has effefted a reparation in our Government, let us be united with her in the glorious enterprize of maintaining the liberties, and promoting-the happi nefs of the world, againfl that fatal and flopendous influence which wars againft them." The Affembly heard him with rapture, and frequently interrupted his addrefs by their applaufe. There papers Wert, in the mon circumflantial and decided term:, that the perfons who bore commiffions in Miranda's army, and were lately taken by the Spaniards, were all hung at Laguira, and the crews ef the rads condemned to perpetual imprifonment in the mines ; fome accounts fay for ten years only. The heads of the officers were afterwards expored on poles, in the town. There were antongli them le veral young men of the molt refpedtable families in New York and Philadelphia. A &rictus degree of ficknefs is raid to have prevailed in the end of July at Cuba, and at Port-au•Prlnce in St. Domingo. At New York, a quarantine was im poled in Augurs on all veffels coming from thole fet dements. A flap called the Role in June was loft on the 24th of Anglin, off New York. She had on board be tween 40 and so perfons, moftly pafrengers ;and the fate of fame of them will excite commiferation. Ge neral MACtliaa sow and a young Lady, his daughter, were wafted overboard, when the General, being an excellent faimmer, made the quarter railing, the fhip being on her beam ends ; but perceiving his daughter finking, he plunged in again after her, and fucceeded in bringing her to the wreck. He was, however, wafted off a fecond time, and his firength being exhautied, he was drowned. Mr. Boorn, another paffenger, had the aftonifhiog prefence of mind to make his way through the water to the after cabin, in which were his wire -and fon, to path up the dead light, force them both into the water, and jump in after them; but both the woman and child were drowned. The veffel was preferred from finking by having on board so bales of cotton ; and the next day 27 perfons were refcued, after remain ing lathed to the wreck a day and a night. The number of perfons drowned amounted to a r. The office of the New York Gazette, was totally deflroyerl by fire, with all its inatetials, on the ift ult.
