It is not to be supposed t 1..; the Austrian troops would be marching tow sitis Italy, at the very moment when the French troops wet. evacuating that country.

THE DUKE OF CLARENCE S BIRTH DAT. The Anniversary of His Royal Highness's Rirth.day was celebrated on Wednesday, at Bushy Park, in a style at once interesting and elegant. The morning was ushered in by the ringing of Hampton bells, which coatieu,d without intermission until night. His It ryal Highness th- Duke of KENT'S band played on the South Lawn at Bushy Park, and the band of the 14th Regiment on the West. The interest of the scene was much increased by the loyal inhabitants of N Impton, Teddtngton, and Twick enham, assembling in the Patk. to hear the music, and see the company as they arrived. The Dike of Cr ',evict's fcur lovely sons, dressed in blue jackets and tiowsets, attended by the Park keepers and domerics, at three n'cleck fired rill twenty-one small brass cannons that we e placed on the South Lawn. This ceremony concluded with chimers, three times three, commenced by the ch!dren, and most enthusiastically echoed by every person present—the bands playing Ride liedeisiiia. At half-past sit His Royal Highness the Prince of Watts arrived to congratulate his Royal Brother, and partake of the festivities of the day. His ROY A t. HIOHNISS was attended by Lord Geanrt ev, Sr; Joffe WARREN, Colonels HENN IRLR and DALRYN ptt, Maior Bectost r et. o, and five other Gentlemen. lie was received with a repetition of the salute ; the bands playing, God Save Me ; all heads unco vered, and all hearts open to receive him. Dinner was immediately served in the most sumptuous stile. The finest wines and fruits covered the hoard. The company consisted of four ladies; Mrs. and Miss DA Laymet.t, Mrs. Sleet. ta, Mrs. Ins. DAN, and, with Their ROYAL HIGIINFSSLI, twenty five Gentlemen ; also the Duke's four daughters, beautiful in the extreme, dressed in plain white frocks. The kindness and attention of the PRINCE to the youthful gronpe was most interesting. At one. supper was served, and the company separated at an early hour. The Ladies were most brilliantly attired. Mrs. JON nA res dress was much admired; it consisted of an under dress of white satin, with a robe of purple gauze, richly embroidered with silver ; a large purple velvet Spanish hat, with a plume of white feathers. The PRINCS left Bushy Park at one o'clock yesterday for Carleton Hnuie, much de. lighed with the entertainment he had received. Adrt MC RR AV, Captain G.

On Saturday last, the Duke and Duchess of Ros eman and suite, with the Hon. Mr. BICLI.ENIOEN, arrived at Kelso, in their way to Flews. Their Graces having been exreaed for several days, the inhabitants were prepared to receive them with every demonstration of joy. The bells rung a mycry peal, and the noble party were followed to their splendid mansion with all those gratulation, which their presence at Kelso has never yet tailed to i..spire. The Duke and Duchess looked extremely well after their journey. A very bitter publication appeared at Madrid, .fuly 2.3, against the Prince of Peace. His Excellency 1i55 taken a magnanimous revenge on the author. He sent for him, and gave him a lncrative situa don, with these words:—sr Despair may hare 'sided .roa ; but / ea convinced Met the Ell siltfiad in yvs a faithful steroid." ATGRTON. Avows, 21'. • The SteYrie was Well Attended last evening. The Music played over DON A LDS° N'S Library, and every thing looked ehearful. The Th atre was * full. and the scene in the entertainment where the est is introduced produced much mirth ; like Many other detfroaesr, he became so fond of the stage, that it was with great difficulty he Could be prevailed on to vit it, nor did he unrit he eddresied the audi ence ; and it might have been to the purpose, as it called forth bursts of applause. This niglit, by de sire of Airs. SCOTT WA NINO, The ILmeymnen will be performed with entertainments. Mrs. Malmo, lady of Colonel MARTIN, M. P. for Galway, gave a cotillon party and. slipper at her house on the Marine Parade last night ; there were tattles laid for forty person;; the rooms decorated with fes toons of flowers ; the supper consisted of every delicacy Brighton afforded ; and the tables were decorated with the greatest taste, in a variety of emblematical ornaments ; the most conspicuous WAS the Tempe of Hymen. The deceit consisted of the choicest fruits, baguets of the finest flowers were laid for the guests. The whole arrange. ments did great honour to the taste of Mrs. rive o, who super intended the entertainment. Mr. &ate and the lovely Miss MARTIN led off the fa vourite dance La Bale Laitiere, which was followed by several other merry dances, until twelve o'clock, when supper was announced.

SOUIHLND, AUGUST 21. Lady HAm LroN, to the disappointment and mot tincation of the people of Southend, does not return to them fur the remainder of the season ; and many lament the suddenness of her departure to be such, that they had not even time to take their leave of her. Her loss will be severely felt, not only by the shot keepers, amongst whore, as well as being an excellent customer herself, she was the occasion of much money being circulated, but also, and principally, by the visitors accustomed to her agrec abl' parties. A letter was yesterday received from her Ladyship by the young ladies, nieces of Lord Nelson, at her house upon the terrace, acquainting them that she had travelled without intermission till she arrived in Surrey, which was no small fatigue, as she had been indisposed for the greater part of Sunday. Her Ladyship has determined to give olp immediately her house and establishment at South end; the family, therefore, set off this day, the young ladies being all impatience to visit their heroic uncle. Mrs. Bi Lti No r ow, who, on coming down here at first, was somewhat indisposed, fi iding the place and the company agreeable, intends to remain here for about ten days longer, being the interval be tween this and her engagement at Cheltenhun, and for that purpose has taken lodgings on the beach. The infant Comic Reams rises by repetition in the estimation of very elegant audiences. On Monday he performed the part of Scrub, in The Beaux Strata. a.m. and Caleb Quote.' in The Revi sr, sr The Wags sf Viqdroe, with incessant and unbounded applause. This boy exhibits the strongest traits of native comic genius ; for, it is observable, that in the personitica non of ludicrous charsulers, he appears to enter into the spirit, and be highly delighted with the scene in which he is engaged. In speaking of Mond ,y's per formances, it would be unjust not to me: tion the just applause bestowed on the elegant archness with which Mrs. TROTTER delineated the charailter of ',trs. Sullen. Lady H•MILTON, whose penetrating mind is as quick in discerning merit, as her liberality is in pa tronising and rewarding it, last week invited the In— Rvecius to dinner. There was a large company present, who discovered that theboy possessed as much playfulness and humour in conversation, as he exhi bited upon the stage. In the course of the evening, the party proceeded to one of the signal stations, Where marquees were pitched for their reception; atter which the youthful son of Menem returned home, taking with him some complimentary sosiwen.rs from Lady HAMILTON and Mrs. BILILINT:TOti. The performances at the theatre this evening, are The 116unlaineeet, in which Mr. TROTTER plays Octavian, and the I,fant lienterigs,Sueli; and The Pr ise; Leniticc. by Yonne RISC . M. The ball, mentioned in my last, took place last .night at the Royal Hotel, and felt the early bad ef fects of the absence of Lady HAMM-I.cm, for it was nut attended by half the visitors at Southend ; and the heavy rains, which have prevailed for some nights past, prevented the attendance of the females in the neighbourhood. The dancing. however, was kept op, occasionally with some spirit. till three in the morning. Amongst the last arrivals here, are Lady LON'S& HAIVLV, Mr. and Mrs. %Vat sis and Family, Miss GROSVENOR, Mrs. Rico, Mr. RANSOM. Mr. and Mrs. E. JAMES, Mr. LISNMLLL, Mr. and Mrs. Tcr tsat.s., arc. The St. Margatet's and Sr. John's Association mustered last evening in Westminster Hall, in marching order. The Ist Battalion of Reading Volunteers, com manded by Lieutenant-Colonel Amrscsi.av, have unanimously volunteered their services to Govern ment, without any res:riaion of time or place.— We hope, and doubt not, but that their example will he followed by every other Corps is the kingih,rn. 3~'QJtTIWG I1~6~'EI.Ll~Ot~►Cr: AVULTST 1141.:P:CING CuMINUEIi. nigsto A Y. nifty Pounds, free far all ages ; three-yedr olds, sst. 41h. tour-ye4r olds, ist. 71b. ; iive-yrdr old r.

Yeverday, at four o'clock, this highly discipline," regiment rnaAered at thirir parade, Burl'intton house, fully accoutered in marching order. for in spetlion by their Brigade General, the Earl of B tit bury, who arrived about five o'clock, aceompanieil by his Aide-d:-Camp: immediately after his Lord ship's arrival, their Colonel, Lord Amherst, called the attention of the regirneot to three different beats of the drum, but mrr e particularly to that which is intended to be the alarm beat to immediate mu.'er in case of actual invasion. Af•er which, the inspec tion commenced, in which the Earl of Banbury was very minute, taking them by companies, facing them inward and closely esamining the kaapacks, &c. from man to man, which engaged his Lord ship's attention two hours, when he moulted his charger, and addressed the regiment nearly as follows : Gamic/len, %/ambers of the St. JIIRWSN Rtzistent—The l i numerous muster of this day for my inspeeion, is crolitable to yourteras, and honourable to me. Ti,. high state of itis: cipline to shish you have atria-id, by your unreapuing attes. • tion to your Colonel, Lord Amherst, calls Path me warms* praise; through hint you have become the hist Volunteer Regiment in this taut) for I &entre yet, yuu are emulate by every other Vo4uotear ' eorat, and the highest taco, t•irm• have been parsed on y u by Lord Harringvoi, and by His R , vad • Higiu, e, the D•Ae of York; an I be WNW it that, from the s ate in which I this day find you, 1 place the fulle4 ethane:. on !on in case of einergener. The Regiment was then formed into setions, and marched to their Armoury, in Dufour-place, when Lord Amherst, previously to dismissing them, de- • t y., dared the gratifi:ation he telt in consequence of what had fallen from the Earl of Banbury, could oly be equalled by the confidence he had in every m•mber • being ready when called upon ; and that, it not called on by Government, he should, in a few days, take them WIC to prariise with ball cartridge. The Duke of Cumberland's Sharpshooters, com manded by C ipt. Barber, were in•peaed at the same time, and the parade was honoured with the presence of several of the Nobility. We do not think that the Jockey Club could readily have hit on any other method more forcibly to express their resp.io to Mr. Bowvctt, as an Artist, or their alutirati n tif his Gi and iiisioric Collecrtion of Pi.:Tures, than by matching the Sale of his Tickets with those of the State Lottery. For our own parts, we arc apprehensive that the rickets in both Lot teries will be too soon dispoked of ; and that they may fall into hands, ever ready to take advantage of an eager demand, by raising the prices more than the fair trader would deem necessary or equitable. " Nalhias venture, nothing have," said :he Abittga don Cooper, when he bought a whole I icket, which came up a hire of TIV4III f Tholl4lllvd Paillgab To every Lottery would the cooper's saying apply, but in the present one, 20,0031. may be gained with less probability o; loss than in any former Lottery. The body of a v ery genteel weal-dreiised female, apparently about ,;„.re or six and twenty years of age, lies in one of the vaults of St. lIIIJCS'S Church, Cierkenwell; tp owned by some of her frie.ids. A considerable 'rostra of persons of every descrip: inns flocked about the church the env , e of yester day. cutious to see the dismal spiNftacle, and to learn the came of the unfortunate event. Some said she had been in keeping, with a man of fortune ; and that, in a fit of jealousy, be threw her into the water. At a late hour last night, no person had appeared who knew any thing about her. She is tall ; and appears to . have been handsome; her dress is a plaid muslin gown, and a straw bonnet ; she had rings is her ears, and two rings on her fingers ; one of them a wedding ring. In her pocket were round a thiiiing ands pocket-book; but nothing in it, from which any information concerning Ler could be coltecied. We understand, that she was lcuird on Monday morning last, floating in the New Rivet. ' e.
