THE EVENING STAR LONDON: 'TUESDAY, JUNE 20, 1819. Sr. Pasta— Holiday ac the Stock Exchange. Paris Papers to the Steth Instant reached Town last night. They contained absolutely nothing pre-' cise or definite as to the present State of the Conti nent, and we are merely left to draw the most pro bable inferences from scanty Materials. From Vienna we learn, that great activity prevails in the Cabinet ;, that the Course of Exchange improves s and that the Armistice had given great uttisfaction; a continental peace being considered as the necessary consequence. But, amid these pacific appearance's, BONAPARTI according to his usual custom, redotibling his preparations for. war. We trust that the Allies are occupied in the same way, fur the formidable appear ance of the contending,armies must necessarily have a great weight in any subsequent negotiations. But we suspect that the French Ruler, in additi6n to a wish to keep up appearances, has other and more cogent reasons for his military preparations. We bear now of the Army of the Adige, assembling in Italy, under the command of BEAUHARNOIS, and of en immense military force collecting at Toulon. It is knot long since BONAPARTE formally announced, that a higher destiny awaited BEAUHARNOIS; and we must iaow presume, that, in the event of a rupture of the Armistice, all his vigilance and military experience will be required in the direction of Italy. Austria seems determined to seize the Littorale as the price of her mediation. it having been stated that a detachment. of Saxon troops had deserted to the Allies, at the battle of Lutzen, the King of StatoNtr, or some person for Aim, contradicts the statement. We must, never theless, continue to beiieye Lord CATHCART in pre ference to his Majesty of SAXONY, and have to add— that we consider his whole army, to a man, disgraced I ) ) , fighting against their German Brethren. Success to such desertions ! BONAPARTE is fortifying himself at Dresden, and bas sent for a company of Comedians to amuse him ! A vessel bat been detained and sent into Dover by the DCEOY cutter, from the French coast: by her, and "tither arrivals frotn France, we leurn, that the people at Boulogne, Calais, Dunkirk, tic. ate so confident that the Armistice will lead to a Peace, that they are suing up the Passage Vessels which wale used in the late ptate; between Dover and Calais. By the way of Heligoland we yesterday received intelligence ftotn Hamburgh to the 18th inst. bA boon, BONAPARTE'S vicegerent of the 38d Military Division, proceeds with the usual rigour to enforce the extortions of his worthless master. In consequence of the failure of the first instalment of the contribution of forty-eight millions - if franks, this military scorpion has taken into custody thirty of the principal inhabi tants, and sent them So Paris as hostages, not only for the payment of the contribution, but their good' behaviour. Among these unfortunate Patriots we find the names of Messrs. Osy, CLAPEAUROUGE) M. J. HERTZ, J. M. SCDULDT I VON BURGER, LDS.. MT, WESTPIIALEN, BISREND, ROOSEN, JACOB ALBERS. HERTZ (of KECRSCRER and Co.'s), S. b. KRUGER, L. H. WALLACH, N. W. H. HELLMAN, MEYEY, (of FEDDEY KARSTENS) ) and GEORGE WORTMAN• The latter Gentleman is upwards of 80 years of age and labours under severe bodily affliction, Von Hesse, the gallant leader of the Hanseatic Legion, and the father of the Insurrections on the Elbe, has made his escape, and is expected to find his way to England. There is a familiar instance in our history of the inhabitants of Calais having furnished hostages to their conqueror but that conqueror was an English man, and gave way to the better feelings of his nature, in favour of the honest ST. PIERRE and his associates, At Paris, we fear, the patriotic inhabitants of Ham burgh will meet with no such reception. A letter from Bremen reports, we hope, untruly, that Count BENTINCK bas been shot at Wesel, by order of BONAPARTI• The sudden return of General Hoyt is represented not to have been cons;dered sufficiently important to have occasioned a Cabinet Council immediately upon the event; yet is said, and with some confidence, that the General's cothmunications have occasioned some hesitation as to the absolute abandonment of the ex pedition to the Elbe. The expedition from Sicily to Alicant having ren- I dered a supply of horses necessary, upwards of 1000 hive been brought from Egypt to that island within the last six months. By this system, we trust, the immense extra expense heretofore incurred in sending cut remounts to the Mediterranean will be conside tably abated, if not totally avoided. We are concerned to say, that accounts were re ceived in Town yesterday from Bushy Park, stating that the Duke of CLARENCE was worse. His Royal 'Highness the Pamos REGENT most affectionately sent express Sir HENRY HALIORD, to attend his Royal Brother, at five o'clock in the evening. The Silver Arrow given by the City of Edinburgh was shot for by the Royal Company of Archers, on Saturday sennight. in Hope Park, and gained by JOHN CAY, Esq.

MRS CHICHESTER'S BALL.-The Lady of Colonel CHICHESTER opened her house in Gloucester Place, on Friday night, with a ball and supper, given to the Fashionable World. The house teas very ele gantly fitted up for the occasion. To the other accommodations were added the temporary rooms, namely, one on the ground.floor, communicating wirh the range of rooms, and the other on a level with the - first flight of stairs from The inner fall.— The for'mPr apartment was the admiration of every one; it was fitted up as an eastern tent, and fancifully decorated with white muslin draperies, and festoons of natural and artificial flowers. Here a great propor tion of the company supped. Tables were placed in the temporary room above, for the express purpose of serving out ices, tea, coffee, &c. The latter was in re spect to ornament afac simile of the other. Ottoman cushions were placed around. This room was illu minated by two very fine lamps, one of them a Ber lin vase, ornament( d with transparent figures of the Muses, exquisitely painted. Massive branches of silver added to the brilliancy of the scene. The dancing commenced ahow eleven o'clock with the Regent's Medley, led off by Lord GtENTWORTH and Miss Cm can-rea.

A table was laid for the PRINCE RECENT, covered with an exceedingly valuable service of plate. Lord YARMOUTH brought an apology from his Royal Highness about half-past one, stating that he was under the necessity of going to Windsor at an early hour on the same morning.— The dancing did not cease until six in the morning.

Also came down from the River the Dorset yacht, and sailed for Portsmouth under convoy of the RINALDO sloop of war. The YORK line-of-battle ship arrived in our Road the night before last, from her station off Flushing, and remains with the Mom- MOUTH (flag-ship), a Russian frigate, and the other ships, brigs, cutters, &c. as per last.—Wind N. A convoy is to sail on the 90th, from Leith Roads, for Gottenburgh ; and another on the Ist of July, to Heligoland. The SNAKE sloop of war sailed from Leith Roads on Friday, with two vessels under convoy, for Sheerness. The vessel supposed to be an American privateer, which was reported to be cruizing in the North Sea, was boarded in the Belt by the SNAKE sloop of war, and turns out to be an American brig of war, bound as a cartel to St. Petersburgh. THE ARMY. The following Regiments on Foreign Stations are to be immediately reinforced by the detachments now in North Britain, viz. : Ist or Royals, 3d Batt. 142 d Regt. Ist Batt. 79th Regt. lst Batt. 26th Regt. Ist ditto. 71st ditto, Ist do. 9id ditto, Ist ditto. 27th ditto, 34 ditto. 75th ditto. 94th ditto. A' strong detachment of Artillery and drivers marched from Woolwich last week, to embark at Portsmouth for the Peninsula. The transports having OR board the 3d King's German Hussars, commanded by Colonel Derotstx, after having made three unsuccessful attempts to sail for the place of destination, still remain at anchor in the Downs, the wind continuing adverse. The horses are beginning to get sickly ; three or four have al ready died on board one of the troop-ships, but hopes are entertained that a change of wind will take place with the change of the moon this morning. Under the Nymphen's convoy, a daachment goes out to the 2d battalion of the 14th Foot, at Malta. A numbet of Spanish emigrants have lately arri ved at Portsmouth from Memel, and will soon have the satisfaction of revisiting their native soil. A detachment GE' the 2d Royal Veteran Battalion proceeds by the first convoy to Madeira. Friday and Saturday last, the Bodfordshire Militia marched through Londen, on their route from Yar mouth to Bristol, at which latter place they are to embark for Ireland. The 9th Foot, from Gibraltar, has marched for Petersfield ; the 46th, fiom Jersey, are gone to the Isle of Wight ; the depot of the 98th is removed to Worcester, and of the I lth, from Weymouth, to the Midland District. Captain CARTER and Surgeon JOLLIFFE, of the North Hams Militia, have been dismissed the regi ment, for indecorous and ungentlemanly' behaviour at Strabane, Ireland. Ensign Sonny, for impropriety in his evidence on the trial, has been informed that his services are no longer required. We yesterday mentioned the sentence passed at Portsmouth on Lieutenant _Waft, of the Royal Ma rines.—At ten o'clock on Saturday morning all the Officers and men at quarters having been ordered under arms, Lieutenant Delap was brought from kis room, in custody of the Officer on guard, and placed in the centre of a hollow square, which the troops had formed. The sentence was then read by the Judge Advocate ( Lieutenant and Adjutant PATTEN), and the Drum• Major cut the epaulet from off his shoulder, and his sash from round his body. General WINTER (the President) then addressed the corps in an im pressive manner, and, with feelings worthy of the Britishsoldier, pointed out the evils of insubordina tion, and adverted to the case they had just witnessed, as a proof that no rank was above the reach of the law. He informed Mr. Delap, that it was his good conduct in the action between the Java and Constitu tion that had alone averted an additionally disgrace furcircumstance that would have been included in the sentence—that of having his sword broke over his head. Mr. Delap was then led out of the barracks. His Excellency lieutenant-General Sir George Prevost, Go vernor of the Canadas, has appointed Edward Vrabaxon Bren ton, Esq. to be his Secretary, in the room of H. W. Ryland, Esq. who retires from that office ; his Excellency has alsa appointed Andrew Cochran, Eiq. Assistant Secretary. BREAD.—No alteration in the price this week: the quartern loaf eighteen•pence•halfpenny. Tuesday morning last, a little girl, daughter of a labouring man in Maryport, took a draught from the spout of a teapot of boiling water, which scalded her inside to that degree, that se died on Thursday morning. b`ROCtING ACCIDINT. 4it an early hour this mottling, as a Gentleman,l of the name of OAKLEY, resid;ng in Portsmouth-place, Kennington-lane, who had been dining with a party ; at the Cottage of Content, Locksfields, was returning home. accompanied by a female, he had occasion to stop in White Hart -court, Walsworth, near the win- do* of a person residing there. The latter, supposing' that an attempt was about to be made tb br ea k intks his house, immediately arose, and in company with a young man, went out, when he called to ttre Gen tleman to stop, or he would instantly be a dead mad. The Gentleman, not regarding what he said, coati , hued to proceed, on which he immediately fled, and shot him in the body. The watchman, at the report of the blunderbuss, came up and secured the culprit, when his associate escaped. The Gentltattan ( who belongs to the Bank of England) was then carried to J;lr. Dixon's, who, on examining the wound, found that two balls had entered his body, neither of which are as yet extracted, they being lodgei in his kidneys, and no hopes of his recovery are entertained. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. This morning, between the hours of two and three o'clock, a woman, living in Weymouth Place, l(enb Road, awoke, and informed her husband that some. body was breaking into the house. The husband and a man-loslger immediately got out of bed- in their shirts, and, taking a loaded blunderbuss, went out to the street, where they saw a man by the Weymou . h Arms conversing with a woman," both decently dressed. One of them instantly fired off the blunderbuss and mortally wounded the Gentleman. —Mr. Dotox, the surgeon, of Newington, imme. diately attended him, and probed the wound for the ball 18 inches. but could not extract it. The unfor tunate Gentleman had been spending the evening at the Horns at Kennington, and proves to be Mr. OAKLEY, of Portsmouth Place, Kennington. The men are in custody. err Ai t .OF ME, TWO O'CLOCIE. Since writing the above, we regret to state, that _ Mr. OAKLEY is dead of his sounds. yesterday, soon after the Qum; and Patna:snit arrived at the Queen's Palace, Townsend and M'Ma.. nus, the Bow street officers, who were in attendance, observed a man cleanly and pl4inly dressed, who had the appearance at a countrym.m, in the fr nt of the Palace, who by his attitudes, talking to himself, &c. they had no doubt was deranged, and fearing he would make an attempt to enter the Palaceb they went to him, and found by his c(mverution, that their suspicions were correct. He said it was the Queen of England's premises, and he had a right to remai• there. However, he was not so mad, but he under stood their threat of sending him to prison, and took himself off. A foreign boat was discovered off Dover, on Sa. turday, making for the shore, but owing to the bad• ness of the sail, &c. unable to reach it 3 one of our gallies went off to its assistance, but the wind bl )wing strong from the East, could not reach it till it got new Dimchurcb : it had on board two Dutchmen, who had made their escape from kielvoetsluys. They were taken on board one of the revenue.cutters, and landed at Dover on Sunday. The account they give is, that they belonged to one of the 71 gun ships in the Texel, all the men of which had been marched off to join the army, together with all the men who were capable of bearing alms on board the Scheldt fleet; but these rwo having made their escape, got to Rotterdam, and from thence to lielvoetsluys, where they took a boat and put to sea : they had only one oar, and axe d sail was of an old blanket and part of thou- shirts : 4 with this miserable equipment they put to sea, to escape the iron gripe of BONAPARTE. Luckily the weather was tolerably moderate, or they must have perished."--The fket, as they say, is entirely disman tled, every effective man having been marched off both from the sea-ports and out of the towns, &c. on the coast. A letter from Captain MORRIS, of the TOWNSHEND revenue cruizer, dated Westport, June 20th, says— " On proceeding into Blacksod Bay, on Friday last, at four a. m. I perceived the American privateer schooner Fox, that has been on our coast for some time, within two miles of me, and to windward, with all sails set. I called WI hands to quarters—same time made all sail, not deeming it prudent to bring a vessel of such superior force to action, until I had made every effort to save the Townshend, which I providentially did, by pushing for the sound of Ackle. In weathering a point with only It feet water on it, 1 had to take all the shot from aft, and put it on the, forecastle, during which time the privateer was firing her 24-pound shot under and ove:: us ; however, we got round and entered the Sound. One shot had nearly carried away our mast; we then had our gaff slung with iron chains. I kept on the shoalect w der, in hopes to get the privateer aground. If I succeed. ed, I would have given her a complete battering the, however, escaped grounding, and followed us to the entrance of the Sound. We had then but a mil* to go, when I resolved, as the last alternative, to come to an anchor, with a spring on my cable, get ting our whole broadside to bear on him, and take him as he came up, determined to sell theTownshend as dear as I could—he, however, saved that unplea. sant part, by putting about, and 'trading to sea."
