The sports &ratite of chariot and horse races. -aroma a oast plain, lures °Cosi* are placed, which, in passing at full gallop, an to he slefterwed by the lance, and the heads of which are to be bs4ught dtwn by firing with a pistol. They who do not wish to ride can glee themselves op to these sports in cars of en splint form,and dnwn by two horns. The intervals between the Sports are filled ep by horse races which are to give place to music. The whole circlanf the plain destined foe the course can be seen by any prison sitting down.. It is difficult to imagine any thing more ndble, or more useful, than these sports, and every thing praz sages the utmost prosperity to this Institution, the only one of the kind in Europe. The vintages commehced yesterBsy (Sept. 16), In the Communes of Ivry, on the Seine, and of Vitry ; there will be as great an abundance, end as good a quality, as the aztent of these communes can 'ford.

Thus the two most essential articles in the harvest will he excellent this year, which makes us hope for • speedy diminution in the prices of breed and nine.— The latter is already down fur some time. The vintage will not commence in Burgundy until the 25th of this month ; and if the fine weather con. threes, the letters from the country announce that they will not open until the 30th. It is said, that the wine of the present year will not yield in qua. lity to that of the comet.

Have yam hod occasion to make any @equities with raped to the foundatiin of the School of St. Bees, in Oho county of Cumberland ?—I have for the teat flew menthe had occasion to attend to the sub. ; Oct very leech et large. I was originaily applied to by some Gentlemen in that neighbourhood, to see whether proceerfiegs ought net to be instituted of a legal Were, to Ohio the property which they en. ,ilasteod , bad originally leekvaged to the school, bell Which' had been for many years in the possession,' whether riglotlY or wrongly, of the Lonsdale family. For how many years?.--Since the year 1742. In 'consequence of their application, I desired to see the late Master of this school, on his coming to town, which I understood he was about to do within a month or two after the time I was applied to. : Was his name Wilson ?—Yes. Is he tutor in the family of Viscount Galway ? us is, or lately was ; bet is at Osford et present. I took down in writing the substance of the ezamina. lions, which I had repeatedly, of this Gentleman ; and I also saw the Provost (Dr. Coll inson) of Queen's College, at Orford, who is one of the official Go vernors of the school ; with regard to Mr. Wilson, I found reason to believe, that he had been turned oat of the echoul a few years since, under circumstance' which appeared to me of a harsh kind, and as it seemed in consequence of laving pushed certain en quiries relating to the rights of this - school to an in convenient extent. What communications did he make ?—That the manor of Saint Bees, otherwise Kirkby Beacock, together with some adjoining property in Sandwich, altogether of a fiery considerable extent, formed, as he believed, the original endowment of Saint Bees' School ; that about the year 1742 an ancestor of the present Lord Lonadale had obtained a lease at a small rent ; I believe of 31. 10s. or 31. 165., but certainly under 41., of the whole of the royalties of these manors. I also found reason to believe that there were very extensive coal mines, which had been wrought either from that period, or certainly for many years past, and that the product of those mines bad amounted to some thousands per annum. Since that. period ?—Yes. For boa long a time dill you understand that lease to be granted ?—For 867 years. Did yoo understand that the person of the Low ther family who obtained the lease was a trustee of St. Bees' School?—Yes, at the time of the granting the lease, undoubtedly ; but I beg to be understood that I am stating the result of information end en. quiries, which hitherto have been totally exparte. Did you understand by royalties the whole property in • tlibse Manors of Saint Bees' School?—No, I meant the right of getting cosi chiefly. Did ywo understand that the right of the toil had not twen departed with, beyond the right of dig ging for coal ?—Certainly ; I understood that the right of the soil remained in the Governors ; but that the right of getting the coal bad been leased to the Lonsdale family. Had coal ever been worked there before ?—That I'dn not know; I should think, pro‘mbly not in St. Bees, before the lease was obtained; but I. am speak ing merely conjecturally. have you had any communication upon this sub ject with the Provost of Queen's, Orford?—Yes, I saw the Provost about a month since. Did his information confirm that which you had previously obtained ?—lt certainly did ; and I saw in the Provost's possession, a letter from a Mr. Hodgin, whom I believe is now the legal agent of my Lord Lonsdale; and in that letter, which is dated several years since (I think in 1807), hestates, expressly to the Provost, that at that time, coals were being got in the manor of St. Bees, otherwise Kirkby Beacock, by Lord Lonsdale. Since the date of that letter, Mr. Hodgin has become my Lord Lonsdale's agent, as I understand ; indeed, it must have been subsequent, because I conclude, he would not have written that letter, if he had been Lord Lonadale's agent at the time. What was the purport of the letter, besides the statement respecting the coal ? —To call the Provost's attention to the subject, as being one of the Gover nors who had a right to interfere. Do you recollect any thing farther stated in the letter as a ground for calling the attention of the Pro vost to that subject ?—Nothing, but that the Provost ought particularly to look into the subject, as being a Governor, particularly entitled to imitation from his official situation. Did be state any thing with respect to the annual value of the property under tease ?—No ; except that in general terms I understood him to speak of it as if he thought it very valuable. Did the Provost interfere in consequence of this application ?—The Provost (as I understood, from him) did afterwards see Lord Lonsdale; but be had taken no proceedings upon the subject him self ; neither was he, I think, perfectly satisfied with the explanation given by Lord Lonsdate. Are you aware of any reason which prevented the 'Provost from interfering in the subject?—He is a -eery old map ; but he expressed himself, on parting with me, desirous to bare the subject enquired into, and said, that he was ready to produce the letter of 'Hedgin's, and other documents, when be should be ,regularly requested so to do. Did he state any thing as to his apprehension of (he amonnt Oman now thu,?—Nothing. . DUTCH PAPERS.

On the 15th of September they begin with the levy of the first 40,000 men, for the completion of the French army. It is not yet decided when the second levy of an equal number shall be made, but it is supposed that this second levy will not be made till a considerable time after the eventual evacuation of the French territory by the Allied troops. How ever, they continue the voluntary enrolments. BERLIN, SETT. 10. —According to authentic ac counts from Carlsbad, his Highness Prince Blocher is entirely recovered, and iuteaded shortly to lease that place. AIIHTERDAIR, Serr. 16. —According to the most credible accounts, the news inserted in the English Papers, that a very malignant fever prevailed in Seri atim about the end of July, is wholly unfounded ; so much at least is certain, that numerous letters, doted the 30th of July, have been received here, which make not the slightest mention of this circumstance. His Majesty's frigate the Frederica Sophia Withal mina is arrived from the Mediterranean. Accounts from Berlin say, that on the visit of the Emperor of Russia to that city a body of 33,000 troops will be assembled, and that there will be a grand review in the neighbourhood of Berlin, at which Prince Prince Blocher is expected to be pre• sent, now that he has recovered his health.

By this peace it was stipulated, that Lisle, Tourney, Dooley, Coortray, Oudenarde, Ath, Charleroi, &c., should remain in the possession of France, and that, in return, the whole of French' Comte should go to Spain.
