Count D'Onsa t c, who war repotted to have gone 1 to Paris, was am at Vienna on the I 7th Wt. More honours are in the contemplation of NAPO. Lame for his relatives. His Mother, it is now Paid, is to be appointed beta of Row, and her fon, Lu cian Bowsraave, to be nominated as her fuceeffor. Count KILLBR, whale difpofitions appeared fo fa vourable to the maintenance of a gooti underfiand. ins between Greatßritain and Pruffia, has at length formally refigned his feat in the Cabinet of Berlin, and retired to his Platte. (Pruffia, of courfe, fubmits entirely to be the humble inftruntent of NaromioN is every thing he may command. It is impoffible to afcertain the truth or falfehood 1 of many rumours that are induarioufly circulated on the Continent. We perfeely agree with the conclud ing remark of our Hamburgh correfpondent in the fubjoined letter—that they are circulated to prepare ' the public mind for changes that are in contemplation. " HAMBURGH, June 24. Though the naviga. lion of the Elbe is fo much more free than the former blockade, yet the altered fituation of things on the Continent prevents the benefits that might accrue from it. The multiplying prohibitions of Englifh goods, to which the French compel the powers of the Continent, always equally againti their inclina tion and interaft, have put a check upon our com merce that nothing tan compenfate. The coufequence is, that the poor are in great want of work, and rob- beries increafe in a molt alarming degree. A very dangerous band has been lately difeovered, and many of the robbers arretled. We have had no very great bankruptcies, but one of a wholefale linen merchant' is much talked of—he always had, till now, a good charader, but he has now become bankrupt for about' 60,0001. flerling t and it has been difeovered, that' $1 having borrowed large (urns, and given ware-rooms filled with linen for (murky, he has broken into them, taken out the linen, exchanged the fine for coarfe, &c. In this way, he has aerially pledged the fame linen to three different perfons. " Politics fill prefent the fame uncertain profpee. A friend of mine, who returned this week from St. Peterfhurgh, by way of Pomerania, allures me, that the rearm of the inaCtivity of Pr uffia is, that the King of Sweden has fignified in a letter to the King, that, in ate of an ;ovation of Pomerania, he (hall not at tempt to defend it, but that he will immediately fend out his whole galley fleet, (ftherren joie as they call it) and defiroy totally all the Prullian ports ; a threat which it would be but too eafy for him to execute. My friend adds, that the Emperor Alexander has abfolutely refuted Pruita to take any part in the dif pure. The King of Sweden, he rays, is lb highly refpetted at Peterlburgh, that any thing done againft him would be highly unpopular there. " For Tome days various reports have been fpread, concerning the changes which it is pretended are re faced on in the German Conflitution. They agree in no one particular, except that the Emperor of Ger many (hall renounce that title. Some fay the Pruf fians are to leave Hanover, which the French are to re-occupy ; that the Hanle towns are to be placed under the protettioo of France ; that Prullia is to late alfo Silefia, and other fimilar changes, as of an exchange of Hanover for Mecklenburg, Etc. You may however reft afibred, that there is at prefent no kind of authority, as far as is known here, for any one of thefe reports; molt of them reft upon private letters, raid to have been received from Ratilbon, though even this is doubtful. They have partly died away (ince Sunday, and if they have any ground at all. they have probably been induflrioufiy circu lated by the Agentsof France to prepare the public mind." ANOTHER PRIVATE LETTER. " HAMBURGH, Jva■ Lt.—The Reform M the Empire, or the New Connitution of Germany, will be prefented to the Diet of Ratilbon, on the orb init. We may therefore coped a fight of the cbld'assers here by the 3d or 4th July." FRENCH AND DUTCH JOURNALS, The former to the 22d, and the latter to the afth ult. have come to band. They contain no intelligence of marked importance. The Montenegrins (or inha- 1 bitants of Albania), excited and encouraged by the Ruffians, no doubt, have begun to harafs the French troops who took polTeffion of Ragufa. Their ef- forts, as might have been expeCted, were unfuccefsfnl; but the attack made by them mull have been bold and perfeveting, asthey left upwards of three hundred killed and wounded on the field. Much about the fame time, Come Ruffian frigates are Paid to have been re• pulled in an attack upon one of the iflands on the coat of Dalmatia. The French do not appear to be fo perfealy at their cafe in the kingdom of Naples, as the exaggerated Proclamations from that Capital would induce us to fuppofe. They are obliged to be on the alerte on every part of the coat. Same of our fhips of war are not only almoft continually in view, but they fometimes bring their cannon to bear on fome of the maritime towns which are in pot effion of the French. Government yeflerday received difpatches from (everal parts of the Continent, which, it was Rated, were of a very favourable defcription , but whether as indicative of a difpofitinn of the Foreign Powers to refill the further encroachments of France, or of the latter to negociate on a liberal plan, we have not been able to learn. Looking either way, we fee nothing but difficulties in the perfpettive. NAUt7CAL INIELLMENCE.

CORONER'S INQUE3I. • Early On Simday morning, a party of friends, eon filling of Mrs. Van Butchel, the wife of Dr. Martin Val) Butchel, of Mount-greet ; her fecond fon, Mr. Ifaac Van Butchel; three Mifs Mons, daughters of Mr. Afton, an eminent gunloclamith, of Robinfon's lane, Chelfess ; and nine others, aent up the River in a four-oared cutter, belonging to Godfrey, of Lambeth, to Richmond. where they dined and (pent the day. On their retitin in the evening they hoitted a fail. About half pall nine o'clock, they were fail ing through Fulham Gnr, a Runt dißance on the lower fide of Putney Bridge, Mr. Van Butcbel was then at the helm, and he unfortunately being an in experienced lielmfinan, neglaled the rudder, the (hocking confequence was, the boat ran athwart a failing barge, which was lying at anchor about 40 yards off Sir Philip SteOlien'shoufe : in the collifion,the fide of the boat was Rove in, and fhe upfet ; in con fequence of which the wiwle of the company were plunged into the river. Some of them clung to the cable of the barge, and florae to the tides. Mr. Van Butchel obferving his mother fink, dived after her, and.brought her up ; but unfortunately (hiking his head againfl the barge, he funk, never to rife again. The three Mifs Allons held by the fide of the barge for a confider...He time. Two of them, Ann and Hannah, funk, their flrength being exhaufted , the ebb•tide lucked them under the barge, they role no more. Sir Philip Stephens being in his garden, and oh raving the (hocking eatafirophe, exerted himfelf, with his fervants, in fending off boats; they reached the barge in time to relieve Mifs Alton, who was dill clinging to the barge, from her perilous situa tion; with the affinance of perfons who were palling at the time in boats, they alto recovered Mrs. Van Butchel, and the tett of the company, and carried them to (bore. The bodies of thole who did not rife again, were dragged for by tome watermen, without delay. and in about ten minutes, Mr. Van Butchel was found. He was taken immediately to the Swan puhlic•houfe, ht Fulham, when the means recommended by the Humane Society were tried, for feveral hours, by tome medical Gentlemen in that neighbourhood, but we are forry to fay without effed. It is fnppofed his hiking his bead againft the barge, on riling with his mother, proved fatal. The furvivors were all taken on fh ore,: and dry clothes being procured, they were conveyed home in carriages. The watermen continued dragging for the bodies of the Mifs Mons till the return of the flood tide, which prevented them from proceeding. Eatly yeP.erday morning they reamed their fearch, when Richard Tindale, a waterman, found the body of Ann Alton, a young lady, eighteen years of age, a (port dißance from the fatal fpot. In the evening, GIOROB HODGSON, Efq. the Co toner for the county, held an Inquell upon the bo die,, at the Swan public houfe, when John Chilcot, a checfemonger, who was one of the company, gave evidence to the above effed ; and upon which, the Jury, without hefttation, brought in their Verdia— deride's:al drath. At a late hour laft night the body of Miff Han nah Afton was not found. The I'm-siring Mit% Anon and her father ate inconfolahle for their loft; the former was not confidered nut of danger laft night. Mrs. Afton is (torn home, on a eifit to fume relations in Staffordibire. A Coroner's Incpeß seas held at one o'clock yet terday, at the Swan Inn, Mount.flreet, on the bo dies of Nit.. William Moulton. horfe-dealer, in Cum. berland-yard, Kenfingtnn, Robert Street, his fcr vant boy, of fifteen years of age, and Sarah Collins, all of whom were taken out of Serpentine River, in Hyde Park, lan Saturday afternoon, as Rated in our Paper of yeierday The fira witnefs examined was Thomas Winter, who lives at Nn. 4, New -court, Kenfingtnn. He Rated, that on Saturday lA, about three o'clock in the afternoon, as he was palling through Hyde Park, and was eroding at the head of the Serpentine River, he law Mr. Moulton (whom he had known perfealy well) at the diftance of thirty or forty yaids, driving a one horfe chaife, on the North fide of the road, with a boy at his fide, at a very flow trot. There was no horfe or carriage on the road near him at the time, and witnefs was go ing on towards the South fide of the River, when, on a fudden, he heard a great plunge and (plaiting in the water. Witnefs turned wound to look, and he faw Mr. Moulton,'with the boy in the chaife, and the boric, fwimming, at about so or 6o yards from the head of the river ; the chaife was perfeelly upright, and both fitting in it, and he obferved Mr. Moulton pull his right hand rein to turn the horfe rnand.— Mr. Moulton being a weighty man, the chaife upfct towards the fide he fat in, and the boy jumped out on the other fide. He immediately ran to give them alliance, and perceived Mr. Moulton rife fcveral times, with his hands sip. The boy he did not fee, and the horfe and chaife had funk. He was about two or three minutes :n coming to the foot, and in that time a foidier had pullcd off his coat, and had been in the water, hut could not render any afliff ance. He laid, the chaile might be twenty yards from the thi•re when it funk. He knew the river well, and, at that part of it. there was a (ridden de (cent of near fifteen feet, which commenced at the dillance of five yards from the (bore, when the water was low ; but when at its proper height, it was near fifteen yards from the (bore. Hodes had been fee qmntly watered on that fpnt. A gentleman on liorkback difntountetl, and told him to mount, and ride to the boat.hottfe for afflitanee, which is filly yards from the place where the accident happened. When he arrived there, he law only a woman ; lin ran to procure a boat belonging to the Ranger, which was moored near thirty yards farther on, and Ater ed off with the drags, attended by a foldier, and James Dnnn, a chimney-fweeper ; by that time a great many people had ambled on the fhore, who were endeavouring to give affißance. He threw the drag fifteen times, without any effea ; the isteenth time, he brought up the boric by the collar, and the chaife, which was brought on tbore. The boric was dead. He went out again, and dragged for the bo dies of the man 411.1 boy ; the drag caught hold of Mr. 111,,ulion by the breeches, bat slot bemg(uSctent ' to hold, the rope broke twice. v n O de n ri t od ing th qu e c n it a i t on or e e d o h i y a t d h rli e a C C oroner whether w il i e he dTd e , r ar h id e rhat the one in me was not a prispei• one, the teeth being too Mort and blunt, and tl.e ropes not being 'thick enmities. He went back for the tall tv.:t p• - lensed to the Humane Society, but it was to., fm t' • and he was obliged to get another ; which eaufe eonfiderable delay. James Duno dived feveral tim • . bdt without effed ; at I,sll, by the help of the tars; net, and his ahtfiants in the boat, they brought uu the body of Mr. Moulton, and the boy, both at lb • fame time, and neatly at the fame fpot where th-r had at firft funk. Nearly three hours b•td elarit t from the time of the accident till the bodies were I • covered. About five minutes after the bodies woe at the boat houfe, a medical Gentleman arrived, aid the bodies were removed to the reception houfe,wh ,, ;'‘ is but a few yards di'tan•. IVltnefs laid, that ne.r one hour daisied before water could be made hot, to prepare the baths; that there were only two ketths full, which the woman at the boat houfe had cot ready, and he was confident the coppers might have been heated in twenty minutes. The Gent:eosa pradifed the means prefceibed by the Society, for ore hour, butt without effet. Mr. Moulton had in his pockets, when Liken cl , of the water, a 51. note, two guineas, two ha:t guineas, two fhillingr, a red pocket book, a knife, ati.l a Myer watch. James Bonham, fon of John Binham, park keeper, was next fworn ; he Paid his father kept the boat boort, and was appointed by Dr. Hawes, Treafurer to the Humane Society, to keep the key of the re• ceiving houfe, on the banks of the Serpentine River. He was afked whether the boat was always ready in cafes of accident ? tonne's raid, there were twn boat., hut they were for fitting, or for the nfe of conflablet, whn daily attended to keep people out of the water. Mr. Gell particularly talked witnefs, if there wile any boat belonging to the Society ? Witnefs laid there was not. The Coroner then laid, I underhand that the boats are for the ufe of Lord Bolton's fifhing, and coneables ? Witnefs anfwered in the affirmative.— Witnefs was then anted whether the drags were in proper order ? he faid they were. Being informed of the °Nation which the lira witnefs had made to them, on account of the teeth not being long enough. he raid, if they were longer, they would injure bodies which might have kill fallen into the water, and that the ropes were of a fufficient thicknefs, for if thicker. they would be too weighty for the drag, and caufe it to roll. Witnefs was particularly queflioned con cerning the coppers, whether the water was ready or not, when wanted ? he faid, the water was ready long before it was asked for, and that the water was the Lift thing applied. which was made fcalding hot '-- the fires were always ready, and the coppers fiiled ; it was five o'clock when he came home that evening, and he immediately went in ace of the boats to give Ai fiance. Thomas Winter was re-examined concerning what he had (lased as to the water not being ready, and whether he could (wear tbat the coppers were not heated at the time the water was called for ? he laid he thought they were not, but declined averring it upon oath. Mr. Gell obferved, that thefe particulars were of confiderable ir.terell to the public, any he was thence induced to take particular cart in the inveltigation of the bufinefs. The whole of the evidence being gone through, the I Jury returned a verdict—Accidental Death. Mr. Moulton, was originally a private in the t sth Light Dragoons, and Irom his good condua was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant. The beginning . of lan April, through the intereh of the Dukes of Kent and Sulks, he was employed by the late Sir R. Fotd, as one of the horfe pats ole belonging to the public office, Bow.flreet, and was Rationed on the Urbridge Road. He has left a widow and four children, and pregnant with another. The boy who (offered with him was about 25 years of age, was em ployed by Mr. Cropecker, one of the Pages to the Queen. His late father was employed in the Rabies of King George the Second. A very liberal fob fcription has been made by the inhabitants of Kea finton, for his mother. James Bonham was the principal witnefs in the cafe 'of Sarah Collins, the young woman. He Paid, that about half pail fir, on the fame evening of Sa turday, a foldier came to the boat honfe, to give in formation that there was a body which a dog had got hold of by the hair of the head ; they immedi ately fent the boat out, aid brought it a-fhore— it was the body of a y...ug woman in a putrid Rate : in her pockets was found a letter, directed to Mrs. Robinfon, Rating, that the young woman, Sarah. Collins, was a very good tenant, and did not with to part with her—the letter was dated Watch•houfe, Phillimore-place, Kenfington, the t3th of June. A coachman, belonging to St. George Caulfield, flared, as he was walking along tile Serpentine River, he law fomething floating, and fent his dog after it ; it proved to be the body of the young woman ; he then fent a (rattier to the boat haute to give the alarm,when ffie was immediately taken up. No perfon belonging to the deceafed Came forward, and the Jur y returned a verdiel—rr Found drowned cn the 28th of June Lit, in tltc Serpentine River." We are reopened to hate, that the Defendant in the Law Cafe of Knit ARTS and Co. v. bawfaa, de. cided in the Court of King's Bench on Friday tail, is not Mr. DAWSON, of Warwick-fireet, Golden fquare. Friday afternoon, a fire broke out at Greenfule, near Edinburgh, which burnt with great violence, and nearly confirmed the tenement in which it broke out.
