WRIGHT, and GOWER ; in the evening arrived the pitiNCK REGENT, Duke of CAMBRIDGE, the Earl of YARMOUTH, and Colonel BLOOMFIELD. The Dukes of YORK, KENT, and CLARENCE, arrived at the Castle this morning. The day was ushered in with ringing of bells. This morning the PRINCE REGENT'S band arrived. Her MAJESTY, accompanied by the PRINCE REGENT, Princesses ELIZABETH and MARY, took an airing in an open carriage, up the Long Walk, and viewed the PRINCE RIDGENT'S cottage, which is a beautiful place, and very nearly finished. The great object of the Duke DE &nes visit to England is to invite the Petarce REGENT to visit Paris ; and he is charged by his Majesty Lours XVIII. with the most earnest invitation to that effect. The Coro. nation would be fixed to accommodate the time of-his Royal Highness ; and we learn that the PRINCE is ex tremely desirous of complying with the polite request. The rumour now prevalent is, that the Duke of WELLINGTON is not to remain any length of time Ambassador at Paris, but is to be succeeded by Mar quis Weeerseev, when an arrangement will be made for giving the Duke a seat in the Cabinet and the Ordnance Department. The Observer of to-morrow will contain an interest. ing official Document respecting the removal of the General Post-Office. A Gentleman who has arrived is England from the Mediterranean states, that he was on the sth of July off the Island of Elba, when the vessel in which he was passenger, was boarded by the crew of a boat from the Undaunted. These visitors positively af firmed, that BONAPARTE had been for some days on as excursion to the adjacent Continent, with the ex press concurrence of the agent of the Allies. The Haarlem paper of the 6th contains a letter from 'Versailles of the Ist instant, in which it is stated that a day or two before, the guards at the barriers of Paris Were suddenly doubled, and some symptoms of alarm were manifested. The occasion was understood to be, that the Duke D'ANGOULEME, in the course of his journey in the west, had met with a most ungracious reception from a regiment in garrison at Brest, which declared that it would march to Paris, to endeavour to restore the deposed government. The officers were Said to be the ringleaders of this mutiny. The regi ment was to be broke. The same paper atates, that a list of the debts contracted by Louts XVIII. and his family while abroad has been made up, and that it amounts to SO millions of francs. Advices have been obtained from Gibraltar to the tfith ult. Trade was beginning to improve, but its progress was tardy. We have grounds for believing -that up :o the Ist of that month, cottons were admit ted into Cadiz and other ports of Spain, althouall the Act of the Cortes by which the importation eMs al flowed, expired in May. The letter which mentions their inttoduction at the date specified, adds," such is the state of things at present; how long it may re main so, we cannot at all determine." HERM RECOVERY OF THE BENSOU..--.The follow trig are the particulars of the rising of the American prioseers in the Benson trinsport, communicated by a Fassenger :•• 44 The number of the prisoners were about two hundred. Besides the party of marines there were thirteen invalided officers to protect the ship, which being particularly crowded, it was custo tomary to allow a few prisoners at a time to come -upon deck, even in the night time. But on our way home, when on • the Great Bank, a Prussian prisoner gave intelligence that a rising was meditated by the prisoners, which having alarmed the officers, a strict look-out at first was kept, and sentinels duly planted, and we slept always with iron loaded in the cabins. On the fourth day, at sire in the morning, during the hlate's watch on deck, the prisoners left on deck Sprung at wee on the tour centinels at the companion ladder, disarmed them in an instant, and got posses-, sion or the hatchway ; the rest all rushed on deck, and besides the four muskets, they were armed with a sabre, crow-bars, &c. and the beef cleavers. They took the wheel, which was left by the Mate, who ran Into the cabin where we were all asleep, awoke us in the alarm, and said the sbip was in full possession of the prisoners, who, with the most violent bons, swore they would put to death'every tnifetnd with arms. The officers, half asleep, Were stunned with this alarm, :Ind uncertain how to act, while the Mate, terrified at the prisoners coming below, began to throw the arms overboard. Old MAINE, the in valid Master of the Orpheus, getting out of bed, was told we should ail be put to 'death if any arms were found below ; to %Lich he said—. Humph, if we are to die, we may as well die on deck as below, and so have a trial fs r our lives : follow me, my boys !'— Their seizing his pistols and A cutlass, he sprung be fore us lip the ladder, around which the prisoners had eroa dvd, like a skyrocket, when he received a nata l:et-shot, which shattered his right hand, and a blow can the shoulder with a crow-bara also a sabre cut on the back, and three other wounds, But irran instant lie broke the circle routed the companion door, shot one man dead, and hove another overboard in the act of firing. He soon carried away all before him, and made way for us to come up and join him, and the struggle for victory was violent on both sides. The cook of the Americans, a strong man, advanced to the Master of the Benson, and lifting up his cleaver to strike, he saw a pistol presented, when he dropt on his knees arid cried for mercy. tour More of the pre• soners now fell, and they began to run below. Eight of them were wtainded, and one snore thrown over board. After which they were all routed, and we gained possession of the ship and secured them. We had six wounded, besides Mr. MAINE, whose right arm was amputated.

Yesterday being the natal day of the PRINCE RE CENT, the same *as observed with every demonstra tion of loyalty and joy. The tradesmen of his Royal Highness received the Usual present of two fat bucks —they dined together, mustering upwards of seventy highly respectable individuals, at the Thatched-house .Tavern, in St. James's -street, at six o'clock. After partaking of an excellent dinner (provided byWit.cis in his usual liberal way), Non nollie Domine was sung by several professional Gentlemen present. The health of the KING, the PRINCE REGENT, the QUEEN, and the Royal Family, were among the toasts.— " The Prince and Old England for ever," was ad mirably sung. •" The Commander in Chief,"— " The Duke of WELLINGTON,"—" The Army and Navy," were among the other toasts. The utmost harmony and conviviality prevailed until midnight, about which time the company departed. THE ILLUMINATIONS. A more than usual bustle prevailed at the west end of the town, and the illuminations were unpre cedentedly numerous and uncommonly brilliant.— The Subscription Houses shone with uncommon splendour, particularly the following : WHITE's Cuts, In St. James's-street.—G.

The House, of the Li-retinae FUND SOCIETY, in Gerrard. street of which the PRINCE REGENT is Patron, had a neat di.. play of coloured lamps, in appropriate devices. Ho caw, Perruquier to his Royal Highness the Prince Re gent, 24, St. James's-street, a brilliant Star. BARTIELD, Printer to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent : Over the Portico, and around the arms of his Royal High ties a splendid triumphal atch of double lights; in the centre, G.P.R. supported on each site wjtit high extending branches of laurel, and the whole surmounted with a most magnificent plume, corm ing one of the most superb illuminations of the eve..ing. •lhe elegant Transparency which was displayed at Messrs. Beetiist, HARRIS, and Co. Carpet Manutactory, Leicester square, in the former illuminations, was again exhibited last n:gbt, in honour of the Prince's Birth-Jay, with several new and appropriate mottoes. MORGAN and SAUNDERS, Upholders, in Catherine-street — P. R. in very large brilliant letters, each letter on a wooden frame the size of the window, with a star set great magnitude, formed of dazzling lamps at top. • HaTcurrr and Co. Coach-makers, Long-acre—P. R. with a Crown at top, and some mita:anti' testuons of small lamps on each side. WILLIAM BRACALL, satin-sties Warehouse, H•gh Holborn, had several ornamental festoons of small lamps, in variegated colours . , in bis windows. Mr. SMART, Carver anti Gilder, Gerrard-street, Soho, exhi. bited several festoons of variegated coloured lamps across the w nt:ows. .1. Cu ALK, gold and silver Lite manufacturer, Strand, had fes toons of small lamps between each window. BARRETT and CORNET, refiners, Strand, had each of the three windows of the first floor edged round with square lamps. Ga tv es, hosier and glover, Strand, exhibited a very militant star of variegated colours. MIOGLEY, chemist, Strand, the Prince's plume, of dazzling . radiance, and festoons of variegated lamps along the balcony. STAMMERS, Razor-maker and Cutler, Strand, exhibited the Prince's plume in variegated colours. POLAND and Co. Furriers, near the Lyceum—A Star of daz zling radiance. FIRMIN and LONODALE, Button-makers, Strand, had the three windows on the first floor edged round with lamps.

R. of great magnitude, sunnou.:ted with the Prince's Plume in variegated lamps. PARKER and PERRY, Glassman, Fleet-street, had their front illuminated precisely the same as Mr. Adarm's. Cornhill made a very pretty appearance, from the number of Lottery Offices, &c. each of which exhibited some illumination. Kuwaiti. and Bansoz, Silversmiths, Ludgate-hill, had the en tire front of their house, from the base of the first floor to the attic, one entire blaze of light. Along the Arst flour, In large letters, were G. P. P. R.; on the second floor, over the P. was the Puttee's Plume in dazzling lamps, with an olive branch on each side, formed of green lamps. On the thud flour weretwo very brilliant stars. WALDLGRAVY, at the Black Bull Inn, Bishopsgate, had the same beautiful transparencies as on the last illumination. LACKINGTON, ALLEN, and Co. Booksellers, Finsbury-square, had G. P. R. the Prince's Plume, aid festoons of small lamps between. Vauxhall was prepared for the occasion with no. common splendour. The almost innumerable &s -play of lamps produced the light of day. The or chestra, the saloon, and rotunda, were brilliant in the extreme. The Gardens were thronged, and the amusements, particularly the fire-works, gave gene ral sati►faction. There was also a brilliant display of rockets, and other fire-works at Chelsea, which attracted many ad mirers. On the whole the day was celebrated with unabated joy and festivity. His Royal Highness went to the fete at Frogmore, where he was, doubtless, happy amidst the society of the QUEEN and his Royal Relations. A piece of wadding from one of the guns fired in the Park yesterday, on occasion of the REGIINT'S Birth-day, struck a boy on the eye, who was standinv on the lawn, and so seriously injured him that' was taken to the Westminster Infirmary.—Conside , table alarm was occasioned by some of the lighted wadding communicating to the dry grass, which spread with great rapidity. By the aid, however, of a number of buckets of water, it was extinguished, without causing much mischief. SPORTING. —Yesterday Grouse shooting tom. menced. It appears by accounts received tnat the game has not bred well. In regard to Partridge shooting, the lateness of the harvest will not allow its beginning, even in the South, before the 14th of September ; and in the North, before the end of the month. The broods are reported to be numerous, I though not forward; the same is said of the phea• :ants. JUBILEE.IIO/1X An unauthorised report of an intended grand dis play of fire-works in St. James's Park yesterday even ing, in honour of the birth-day of his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, having been circulated in the early part of this week, the inhabitants of the Metropolis, last night, proceeded in prodigious numbers to wards the scene of the expected exhibition. No sooner had darkness set in than the avenues leading to the Park were thronged by thousands and tens of thou sands of individuals who filled, not alone the foot paths, but the whole of the streets, to the great annoyance of the drivers of carriages and other ve hicles, which commonly proceed at a pace somewhat quicker than pedestrians, but whose progress was completely impeded. Every eye was turned towards the western horizon in the momentary expectation of some sudden and brilliant illumination of the heavens. In vain, however, did fancy anticipate the beauty of the spectacle—not a spark, save the glittering gems which usually adorn the face of Heaven was to be discovered. Many began to express their satisfaction in being sufficiently early to witness the commence ment of the business, and. in that gratifying idea pushed forward with more rapid strides. The two gates from Spring Gardens into the Park formed the principal points of attractions, and here the throng was so immense, that, in consequence of the delightful prospect in mental view, the greatest impatience was manifested ; old and young, rich and poor, solid and sad, male and female, alike pressed for admission ; and in despite of the snarlings of the old, or the cries of the young, the impetus of the quickly-gathering multitude, increased with new vi gour, till at length the mass became so wedged in the narrow passages which were opened for their ac commodation, that they could scarce move back wards or forwards—and this inconvenience was in creased from the reinstatement of the iron bars at the entrances into the Park, which had been removed on the day of the Jubilee, so as to avoid that dan ger which was now experienced in its most aggravated form. 'Several females were so dreadfully crushed, that they fainted in the crowd, and were carried for. ward perfectly lifeless, until on emerging by degrees into a more extended space, from the freshness of the air, animation returned. All this might have been borne with something like fortitude, it, the curiosity which had been excited hall been gratified ; but, alas ! notwithstanding the " hair-breadth" escapes .which the suffering swarms had encountered, on their arrival in the Mall, all was gloom and dark ness, not a ray of extraordinary light was to be dis covered, and the lamps, which did burn at a distance, from the foot-path, were scarcely sufficient to render darkness visible. In defiance of those shrouded pros : pects, however, the multitude pushed forward, and 46 hope still lingering in their breasts," they congre gated in countless ranks in front of the Temple, which however remained in sober sadness, without emitting one enlivening ray to cheer the hearts, or relieve the aching sight of those who surrounded it, and who after patiently waiting about an hour, com menced a retrograde motion, casting, as they went, longing lingering look behind." These looks, however, were fruitless, and disappointment and vexa tion formed die only reward of those who had come a long and wearisome road in search of the last scene ,in the Jubilee Drama. • The multitude continued flecking towards the Perk till past eleven o'clock; and these being met by those who were returning, the confusion which arose from the opposite pressures can scarcely be described, and this was rendered the more alarming from an attempt which was made to shut the gate next Wigley's Rooms, in Spring Gardens. This was half effected, and the passage being, in consequence, narrowed, several persons were dreadfully bruised, and many females sustained injuries, which will, no doubt, make them long recollect the night. The pickpockets and hustlers took advantage of the crush, and by their manoeuvres added to the difficulties which were al ready almost too great to be overcome. Their harvest WAS commensurate with their most sanguine wishes. The streets were crowded to a late hour by persons who had been victims to a hoax perhaps as successful as any which has of late been practised. Abner ten o'clock in the evening, the populace, disappointed in their expectations, pulled down the fence outside of the Temple inclosure in the Green- Park, and made a bon-fire. In consequence of the immense number of persons collected, the sentries found it impossible to oppose their depredations. It was not, at first, deemed necessary to resort toa pro per force in order to compel them to desist, as, in all probability, many with their lives would have paid for their misconduct, had they been treated as rioterr. Finding a forbearance, they went on with impunity, and piled up the railings until a volume of flame arose, which slarmed the metropolis at its eastern extremity. Many supposed a number of houses were on fire, and the engines drove through the Perk, un der a belief that St. James's Palace was in flames.— The multitude, with a disregard of propriety, pro. ceeded until they had burnt nearly all the fences ; sentry-boxes and branches of trees were thrown in the flames. Lest disappointment should gain the height of injuring the Temple, a Captain's Guard was placed without that part of the pailing facing Piccadilly, and as the numbers increased eveti.to twelve o'clock, attracted by the glare in the atmos phere, at that hour a reinforcement was sent for in double quick time." The Temple, however, re mained sate, surrounded by sentinels of horse and foot, and the mischief done does, not extend beyond the destruction of the timber which formed the rail way. The mob left the Park when day-light ap- I peered. Several are in custody. •g he MARGATR, AUGUST 11.—Our harvest has com menced in the Isle of Thanet. Oats and peas are housing very fast; our wheat and barley are very luxuriant, and should the weather continue fine. will be cut by next week; turnips and clover promise full .crops; our potatoes are excellent and plentiful.. Our public amusements are well attended. Mrs. JORDAN is performing at our Theatre with great success. On Monday she sustained the part of Vide:sit, in Tie Wonder, with her wonted excellence; and on Wednes day the part of the Widow Cheertr, in The Soldier's Daughter. WruPPixr's Musical Promenade, on Tues day evening, was attended by all the Fashionables of Margate, Broadstairs, and Ramsgate. The songs, The Soldier's Gratitude and Urad's Tears, by Mr. BROAD- Amur, were beautifully delivered. lIATMARrATTIIEXTRE. • After Mr. Cm .

The latter, which referred to the accident of Mr. Mathews, was received with en , thusiastic plaudits. Unmindful of Dramatic laws to night, We break them all;—great Aerators slight; Nay, put e'en l'osstsaulT to fight! Patch up with Harlequin a wild alliance, And set our big-wig Sedges at defiance. And Thee—who many a scribbler's suit hest heard, Dear No4seNce! Goddess of the sweet AISUIRD Thee, we invoke i—not thee, her silly twit, At whose mere held-up-finger idiots grin; But thee, by whose anomaly of rule, The wisest seasonably play the fool; While 'thought unbends, of Mazatlan glad, And Reason's s If runs ratio:4ly mad. ye Critic's, when ye pat a Playwright's skull, • And cry, "Be thou corral, however 141," Should every Dramatist your precepts keep, hen none would go to hiss—but ad would g 3 to sleep. Our Poet, loth dull Safety's path to plod, Would rather heir you growl than see you nod; And dashes, now ax scenes with scarce a plan, To move your iron muscles—if he can. If he should prove, which would not be sarpridngs Too ludicrous fur sleep, or criticising, Why your alternatives are clear as day,— Vie. either laugh like mad, or go away. Yet, eh ! the first of these two met ho ds choose, For rarely Englishmen of sense refuse Indulgence e'en to fatties that amuse But heavy folly ne*.r can please depend on't ; Should our's be dull,—danin us, and there's an end oo't. LADI73 and GENTLEitttl—Before the currain rises, I am KC quested to say a few words to you, in behalt of ats invalid. Mr. fsdnritews still continues of suffer much from his late severe ac cident ; but he trusts that his anxiety in coming forward the* early to perform his duty to you, and to fulfil his engagements Isere, will atone for his deficiencies in the bockly activity requisite in the character he is allow to perform. A former celebrated Proprietor of thfo rhcatre, once enjoy.d the fullest favour as a devil upon tova sticks; and, it is hoped, nay, it cannot be doubt. eel, that you will now extend your utmost indulgence to a Har lequin upon are. Much interest was excited in the public mind, net more on account of the 'novel circumstance of dia logue being introduced in this pantomime, than fiom the general understanding which prevailed, that the muse of Mr. COLMAW would furnish that dialogue. All was anxiety and expectation till the performance began, when the opening soliloquy of Dr. haw Porn: (Mr. Baustrox), the humourotts process of washing Harlequin white, and the lively dialogue which follow. ed, between Mr. MATHEWS, as Harlequin, and Mr. 'Folmar, as Sraranioacke, which comprised some clever remarks on the system of modern quackery, and the somnific influence of modern'novels, gave the strong est assurance that the Pantomime would be favoura bly received throughout. But, early in the second act, a fastidious disapprobation was called forth. in consequence of a part of the machinery not working with all the facility which, after the Pantomime has been performed two or three night's, may naturally be expected. In addition to this, the extreme I* e. ness of Mr. Matta...vs (who, on his entre was greeted with the most cordial welcome front every part of the house) prevented him from making those exertions which were essential to the support .-1 the piece t. but which the thinking part of the audience, when they witnessed his weak and infirm slate, slid not expect. The principal features in the Pant name ate, the loves art Leander and An , chtta. The latter is itnprisimed in the house of Sir Peter Pantaloon, by the machinations of Doctor Conformal, the continuance of whose magic knowledge depends upon Aezeidte's remaining stomas.. vied.
