Duicei, walked on the Esplanade.—They were accompanied by the Earls of WINCLIELSFA and CNIISTRRVIti D I Lord HAN., Rower, Coantess of CHESTER F)r.Ln, Lady Bu u.at- Lev, Cener:4 l 6 M A timmon•ti, and F; rz• sh.v, Colonels TAYLOR ' Caatesetz, and Siew- Ihe Esplanade was very much crowded. At seven o'clock, the Roves. FAMILY went to the Theatre, to honour Mr. SANDFORD'S benefit night with their presence. Among the novelties of the evening's performance, was the Farce of Loren' Quarr.ll,repeated, for the fourth time, by command of Their M A./ IjST les, by Mr Dawsos's children. ft is almost unnecessary to give a greater proof of their merit, than the very particular attention which they have been honoured with from their Royal Auditors, who apxared ai highly entertained, as on the first night df their performance before them. This morning, befor s.-ven o'clock, His MAJESTY was on horseback, and returned a quarter before nine. After breakfast, he went on hoard the Royal Yacht, to take his favottri e amusement of a cruise at sea. Every vizsel that couid be procured was engaged to accompany the Royal Yacht. Such numbers went, that the town appeared quite thinnni in consetrence. They set with a charming breeze, and the day being remat kably fine, they had a most delightful elle& from the shore. Early this morning, the Duke of CAMORLDOL and Princess MARY bathed. Yesterday afternoon, the Poarunuzsz AxtAs sADoa arrived here ; and, in a short time after, visited the Duke of ;Sussex ; who, we are sorry to say, is confined to die house, being slightly indis posed. THURSDAY,SEIPTeMifft 19. At a late hour last night, we received, by Es, Ness, a set of German Papers of a late doe, we believe, 'tacsusrr cs. We have extraaed from them the st ire and annual expense tit the Russian army, and the state and distribution of the army of France. These two articles are drawn up from official documents, and will he read with great inte rest at this particular crisis. The Russian army amounts to 508,230 men ; the French to 593,588, e=lusive of the National Guards, and the new armies of Italy. How dreadful must be the shock, when such enormous masses come in collision ? And yet these constitute only a part of the ins tome armies now preparing to take the field. We have received, in common with our con. temporaries, Paris papers to the 10th, and Dutch papers to the 12th instant. Upon the great ques t . Sion of the probability of a continental war, which sow fixes the atte-tion of Europe, they afford very little light. We have known, for some time, 'that two great armies have been approaching each other; the one destined to aft in Germany, the other in Italy. The marching of troops in these directions, occupies a large portion of these papers ; and, as these movements are only what might have been anticipved, their interest is considerably diminished. But this is not all. Those very papers, which an nounce these warlike appearances, declare, that the Court of Vienna manifests a de-ire to enter into ne gotiations for peace. They bl.rw hot and cold. Certain• ly they do not bring us so near to adm i t hostilities as they taught us to espett. Upon reference to the Hamhurgh Mails, of the contents of which we yesterday gave the substance, we find, that the re port of the evacuation of Hanover by the French troops, announced by an Evening Print, as " Go vernment Information," is unfounded. We have also o i-covered the source of this " Government In formation." in an article dated Luneburg, the 31st August, which states the departure of the troops for the Rhine. The troops stationed at Lune burg an 1 Haarbourgh certainly did march away but their place was supplied by others, and the num ber of camps in Hanover was greatly increased. VA• tious other reports have been rut in circulation. Some state, that hostilities have commenced in Italy, and that the French hale been repulsed ; others, that the Austrians have penetrated into Bavaria, and that the French have crossed the Rhnie at Coblents. Dur Readers must see that these ars mere speculations. The French Funds are .54 and a fraftion. TH L' AT R COYINT , GA NORM.

The well-known opulence of the East Indies, leads many people away with the idea, that if N only ne cessary to make a voyage to that distant climate, in order to realise a princely fortune; but this is a mis taken notion, and we *ill venture to assert, that very few of the honest fellows who man the fleet. just ar rived, have come horn* much richer than they went out ; they have, however, returned at a snot for tunate time to purchase a chance of gaining 20.0001. in the rich Lottery, to begin Drawing thus Month, which has the power of bestowing sums that may vie with the gains of the most successful Asiatic speculations.
