The EMPEROR not only granted this requell,but left the choice entirely to the Order, which was made at Polotz, in White Rnffia, and fell unanimoufly on Father Ga u IR, a man of great talents, learn and aflivity, who had long prefided over the _Knits College at Polotz, and was placed by Paw.

Were his guard and fervants quar relling among themfelves—or with other people ? From what we have been able to learn from other quartets, we believe it was with fame of the Company's Sepoys. The quarrel fpread to all the Perlian attendants, and a great number of Sepoys. Several were killed, and the Perfians were beat back upon the Ambafrador's refidence. The Am baffador WAS arongly advifed by his Engli(h inter i-ern- not to interfere ; but he would go to the window o fpeak to the people. At this time the riot was as it; height, and the parties had recourfe to tire arms. Unfortunately a random (hot killed the Ambairadar in his window. The KING yeflerdav, :tacr reading the dif patches received from the Continent, took an ex cutfion in Winkifor ritrk. Her MaJFSTY had a party of the Nobility to tea and cards is the evening,. Mr. Purr is returned to town from Bath, coal derably improved in health. Mr. MERRY, our late Ambafrador to the French Republic, arrived on Sunday at Dover. Lord and Lady CASTL REAG H arrived yeßerday in Cleveland row, from the Marquisof Az eac o N'S. The Duchefs of DrvoiesuirE and Lady W. CA. VENDISH accompanied Lord and Lady Moe PETH, on Saturday, to Dover, where the two latter are to embark for France. The different vacancies, which have taken place in the Rol al Marines, fence the peace, are reported as likely to be filled op in the courfe of the month : feveral valuable Officers will in confequence be reltored to the fervice. One of the Royal Garrifon battalions is, by re• port, intended to be Rationed in the Weft. The Militia of Devnn has lately been ballotted; but from the population of the county not having increafed, its force continues as when firft railed. The Volunteer Infantry of the Weft are entire ly difembodied, much to the fatisfaetion of the Public, and to the great advantage of the Militia, as many of its Member; now belong to this highly Conflitutional Force. Friday fe'nnight the 23d regiment of Light Dragoons were dithanded at Bella% by General Ross. , It begins to tranfpire on the Continent that the Britifh Cabinet has done all in its power to accom plifh that, with the negled of which it was lately accufed ; namely the fecuring of Allies. Letters from Hamburgh fay, the Court of London has made efforts to eflablifh an alliance with the Courts of St. Peterfburgh and Vienna; but that thofe efforts have failed - . It is not laid that the Emperor ALEXANDER is indifpofed to fuch an alliance : we hope he is not, and we have come reafon for en couraging this hope ; but the Court of Vienna, it is obferved, is adverfe to it from a fear of offend ing France. This is no doubt true. Auftria mull be in her heart the ally of this country ; it is not in the nature of things that the fhould be other wife; but (he is fo mirch reduced and ezhaulted by the very gallant Itruggle the lately made, that the neceffarily dreads a new conteß with France at prefent, which an alliance with this country would probably produce. She mull re cruit her ftrength, and we mull hope for better times. The accounts from the Continent make it every day more and more evident that our Mi niflers, in Odober, refolved to found the difpoli lion of the Chief Powers ; and that, in the event of Sliding a fpirit of co-operation, they intended to [peak in a very bold tone to F:ance, to follow up their remonnrance refpeding Switzerland with vigour, and even to appeal to arms rather than give up their claims. That Anftria is not able to ad is a fubjed of regret ; but under all eircum. fiances out Milliners have adcd with prudence and wildom. We have reafon to fuppofe, that Ruffia is die- poled to favour the meafures of this country in op poring the ambitious career of France. It is not Laid that Rußia was unwilling to cater into an al. Lance with this country ; it is even reported, that a new treaty is negotiating with her. Ru mours are alto in circulation, that fhe willies Eng land to retain Malta, and cannot content to ' becnme one of the guarantees of that ifiand. By letters from Con Itantinople, laid before our Readers yelterday, we learn, that the I3ritifh Am balfadcr there has propofed a Treaty between England, Ruflia, and the Porte, by which theft three Powers (hall bind themfelves to exclude all foreign troops from Egypt. The objet of fuch a Treaty obvioufly is, that when the Britifh army leaves that country, the French (hall not again take poifellion of it, itithout incurring holtilities w jilt lttiffia. This, too, is a wife meafure ; and it would Le a molt happy one, were it to take ef -1,20. Eut the Turks are all aid of France, as the Anfiria;:s arc, and decline entering into fuch an .ti:•agernert, contenting thsnsfelves with the gna t ant! of their domit inns by France in the Treaty ar..t relying tit on French faith, upon e 41%1 ►'.s f m•twithnanding the perfidious Ito in which E c ;ypt has been already f'ized. in this treat', as in the ['toppled alliance Frlland a:,l Auflria, teems stifporcel to join.

The principal articles now allowed to be bonded and warehoufed, are the following, viz.—Sugar, Coffee, Cocoa, Rum, Tobacco, Corn, Rice, and goods imported by the Ealt-India Company. It is now intended to be propofed to Parliament, that, in addition to thole Articles, feveral others, of which the following are the principal, than be admitted to the fame privilege, viz Rine, Spi rits, Skins and Furs, Timber and Deals, Hemp, Iron, Silk, Raifins and Currants, Oil, &c. An account of the quantity of each of thole ar ticles imported into each of the Ports of the king dom, for the tall three years, will be laid before Parliament, as loon as it can be made up ; and it will be propofed to give to Government a power of licenfing any Port, to bond and warehoufe any one or more of them, in which it (hall have car ried on a confiderable Trade within the time fpe-, cified, provided it (hall appear, by the Reports of the Boards of Cufloms and Ezeife, that fuffi tient accommodation can be provided for the Me rchants, with perfea fecurity to the Revenue, and that the etlablithment of offioers is fufficient for the management and regulation of the Trade. it is underilood that it will be required, that the \Varehoufes, in which the Articles are to be depofited, ( hou ld be entirely detached from other buildings, and fecured with high walls and other fences, in the manner of thole, ereeted at the Lon don and Weft India Docks ; and that loch regu lations will be effablifhed, by Aft of Parliament, as may be neceffary for the protedion of the Re venue. A letter lately received from Bolton, America, lays, " The Government of this place has, by a late decree, abolithed the Export Duties, and the internal Taxes. The Collators have in conk quence been fufpcnded." A Hamburgh paper (fates, under the head of Paris, that the Darr CON SU L on the day on vzhich Lord Witrrwoar it was prefented to him, (aid to the Englifh who were there, When you return to your country, tell your fellow citizens that I am a great friend of peace, and intend to maintain it between the two nations by every means in my power!" The Court of Direftors of the Eaft India Com pany have received a print of the Hindou Temple, crated in Mekhet Park, as a tribute to the merits of WARRIN HASTINGS, Efq. late Governor Ge neral of Bengal, and have ordered that it fhall have a confpicuous place in the Company's newly crated library. Our Readers will recollea that the French and Dutch papers mentioned, fome time ago, that the troops fent out to receive the refloration of the Cape of Good Hope, arrived there on the 13th of Augull, and were to be put into poll - anon of the colony on the 16th. Letters, however, have been received in this country, of the loth of oao ber, which (late that the Dutch fquadron had aot arrived, but that the Englifh were in hourly ex pedation of it. The following is the fubflance of thole letters: ■ Cape. oft. 10, am. _ . .

General MORSE lately infpated PortcheftEr Cagle, by direCtion of the Board of Ordnance, to learn if it was proper for an Ordnance Store.— The General has reported, that it is well calculated for the purple, and a large quantity of ordnance flores are aEtually depofiting there.

The General afterwards vifited Portfmouth, to examine the fortifications, to report on a reprefentation made to the Board of Ordnance, by the Cornmiffioners for Paving, relative to certain nuifances.

A llnice will be opened for the back water, and the broad part of the moat narrowed, to give a firong cur rent to the water, by which the filth will be carried off, the offenfive finell fubdued, and the danger of infeaion removed, which was great to the in habitants near the Spur Bridge.
