His %%Jur v, accompanied by Lord !veal, fel) 'eJ t the camp. and was present at the dis charge. All the ships in the bay hoisted their Rags ; the frigates made the most elegant display. As soon as the regiments had fired, the ships answered them by firing royal salutes. The Volunteers had A grand field day. and fired afro de joie in honour of the day. The Duk: of CUMBER f. /AM giv-s a sumptuous entertainment to commemorate the birth-day of his Real Brother. The RoY A I FA kl ILY will drink tea and spend this evening with 1, , q,1 Durmas.

We are here all in bustle and anxiety from the reports of constant firing heard all along the coast, Lane supposed. at first. it was rekrzin,7 for the Pitisce4 Bit th-day, but the continuation of the re port seems to do Away that idea. Three eiCtect-. I have just heard from a friend, who is arrived this moment from Sandwich, that the firing we h.ar.l ill the morning was distindly heard all the env he CAMP, and that the telegraphs and signal posts have been at wo• k all the day ; it surely can ant ar'st• from any attempts of the Enemy to attack as, I should rather think, and it is the general op:- rion. that the report is from some of our squdions attacking them. DOVER. Aus , :sr it PRIVATE. Co:tv...:I•ONDENCE• Yesterday the wind basil:lg, early in the morning, tome to the Eastward, produced one of the twist mag iificent, and at the same time o.ie of the most pleating and interesting sights, that it is almost pos. sihte for the in' inr.ination to crouceive. The long pre vaience of the W. and S. W. Winds had accumu lated a very numerous Rent in the Down', whisdi were desirous to sail to the Westward. About seven o'clock they began to come round the Smith For.- 123,1, and from that time to five in the evening, we could see between two and three huadre i sail of our valuable merchant ships, bound to the East and West Indies, and various other destinations, crowd. in; every sail. l'he attraftinn on the Pier-heads was immense. The number of ships of war which escorted them down Channe!, added very much to the grandeur of CI. settle. T. different groups on shore did not fail to con gratulate themselves on the mortification such a sig'it must naturally produce on the minds of the enemy, nor to plume themselves on the proud idea of superiority. The enemy has been very much on the alert— sixty-four very heavy praams and gun-boats have been pushed off from Calais, in their way to Bou logne. No less than 32 of them are at this moment in Vimereux Bay, the others have got iato Boulogne, and these will follow as soon as possible. The firing in the quarter of Boulogne, as well as to the eastward, has this day been almost incessant. It began last night rather before one o'clock, as if to g.vethe earliest tokens of a desire to celebrate the birthday of an amiable and Royal Heir Apparent. H. that jest, however, as it may, their firing is al most continual, but the weather is so very hazy, we c in-ot distinguish ehjeas at so considerable a dis t Ince. Nothing can he more striul than the discipline of the troops in this quarter. The four regiments were brigaded along the beach from six to eight o'cl wk. and then received orders to parade at twelve, which t'my did, and acre under arms the greatest part of the night. We are now in the most eager and anxious expec tation of their putting their long-standing threat into execution. We hear, unconcerned, their con tinual and tremendous cannonade ; we laugh at their attempt at invasion; and our most earnest and anxious wish is, that we could give them a fair grappling about half Chanistl over, without: enter taining the slightest doubt th we should be able to bring the greatest part of them to this country. Semi .'Clock. The firing from the French coast is almost conti nual, from which it is supposed they are endeavour ing to get their numerous flotilla out. By the most authentic information I have been able to coiled. they cannot get more of their flotilla out in one .side than lOn qr ISO ; if so, it must take, si j i consider able time before they can attempt to face our small but intrepid cruisers. August I 3M. haljpail Eight, a. no. The firing Las entirely ceased upon the opposite coast. It is a fine morning, and the wind blows ffesh None of our vessels, however, have yet re turned ; and consequently we have not been yet able to learn the porticulars of the affair of yes tads,. ir: - antorrom, Auour It. At ten o'clock this morning, the Cyfnet sloop of war took her station in a direction to be seen from the Pavilion; and hoisted the Royal Standard, and ;ill her signal flags, jacks. pendant, the French jack at the bottom, drooping into the water. At one o'clock she fired a Royal Salute. Earl Ca VI.N'S boat was also decorated with various calons,. The humblest fishing boat hoisted some mark of respect for our beloved Prince, of whose natal day this is the anni versary. 'llse Ps ince cf Waaes's band, in hussar dress, looked extremely well, and playe.l on the lawn at the Pavilion, and every person was preparitig for the grand review on Market Hill, four miles from Brighton ; every carriage was in requisition. The forming of the line was beautiful, it extended above A mile. The Caval; y were placed to the right of the Line, consisting of the 6th Enniskillen, 4th Queen's own, and Mr. Siiisritee's troop of horse. Of the Infantry, the South Gloucester took the right, next to them the South Hants ; the Dorset shire and Monmouthshire were to the left. Six pieces of flying artillery were placed upon a hill to the right of the Cavalry ; and to the left of the Infantry, en an eminence opposite the artillery, were placed the mortals. There were 4,000 men under arms. The beanty of the gronnd, the company, the fine. ness of the day, the universal fervour that prevailed, every thing conspired to make it a most interesting speetacle. Among the earliest of the company on the ground were Mr. WINST ASI CY and !emit! in their carriage. Lady ALVA !ILLY, in her landau, accom panied by several ladies, and Capt. 14'1A° o of the Cygnet sloop of war in full uniform; General and Mrs. JOH PITON, and Mrs. and Miss r,,,,Er t in the General's carriage ; his charger being led by a servant. Mr. SHIT INLR'S family in his landau. At twelve o'clock, Earl Ca ere, as General of doe distrid, Earl BLIIRtLEY, and several other lacers, arrived upon the ground. The Countess of BARRY NORr was on Viscount PETERSH A re'scarriage, drawn by her own horses ; her Ladyship's having been broken to pieces a few days since, by an upset at Rottendean. At half-past twelve, the Psi MCA'S barouche arrived with the Countess of Beaseaav, Lady W. Russeaa, and Miss SLY MOM drawn by six beautiful boys, three Sc; vent, attending. In Mrs. Fl 7.11 LR ZEIT% barouche were the Earl of BERKLLSY'S children, and His Royal Highness the Duke of Cam's:sees three lovely boys. To ems, merate all the Nobility that were on the groind, would exceed the limits of your paper. At one o'clock, His Royal Highness the Prince of WA LLS arrived, mounted on his beautiful Arabian grey, and dressed in scarlet full uniform, accompanied by the Duke of K see, in uniform, the Duke of Ca aI:ENCL. the Duke of °ALIA NS, Count Rtauioaois, Earl of BAaRYx RE, Lord WILLIAM RUSSZL L. Viscount Percent AM, Major 13toosartean, and twenty other Nob!emen and Gentlemen. As soon as His Roe , at. FII.7IINSSS arrived, he alighted, and mounted his charger, a dark chesnet. Immedi itely on his arri val, a signal gun was fired, when Ili; Rov•t. to it a mess and his company proceeded down both front and rear of the line, and hen took his station in front in the centre, when the field-pieces to the right of the line fired a Royal Salute, which was answered from right to left ; a general discharge from the in fantry succe' .—the bands playing God Save the K.eg. The cavalry, waving their swords, gave the l'a vice three cheers, the infantry joining. The cavalry then passed His Roy Al. 111011 K es% in com panies, and afterwards in on order ; the infantry did the same, and then f ormed into line. The concltoioa was a grant salute from the field-pieces on the right. It was allowed to be the grandest speSacle which the Susses coast has boasted for some time. At twelve o'clock the west batteries fired a Royal salute ( and a King's cutter p icing at the time, hoisted th# Royal standard, and returned the salute. As Mrs. Piooc was alighting from the dickey of General JOHNSTON'S carriage, her foot slipped, and she fell under the horses. I have the pleasure to add that she received no injury but what was occa sioned by the fright. Hit Royal Highness the Duke aF Susses was so much recovered as to walk on the Steyne for some time, but was not sufficiently con valescent to join his Royal Brothers at tOe Review. It was the intention of Mr. LUNA ROI, had he not been prevented by illness, to have contributed to the entertainments, in celebration of His Royal Highness the Prince of W•tes's birth-day, by ex hibiting an aerostatic machine, on a novel plan, which his occupied his attention for some time past. This machine was to comprise 800 square feet on its surface, and to represent His Royal Highness's crest and feathers. serrse•••.•m-eftemor The Kira has been pleased to grant unto .

On Thursday night, on the parade, Edinburgh, the Officers of the Loyal Edinburgh Spearmen pre sented to Jona BINH'S, Esq. their Lieutenant- Colonel ComMandant, au elegant sabre, in testimony of their attachment to him, and of the grateful sense they entertain of his unwearied exertions to im prove the discipline and promote the respeltebility of the corps, from the period of its institution.— The battalion were to leave their colours presented to them on Monday last, by Mrs. BENNST, and Miss SCOTT of Logic. Not a little has been said on the supposition that Lord NILSON makes light of the Spanish part of the Combined Squadrons. We cannot believe, that in any thing that fell from that truly brave and in telligent officer, he ever meant to depreciate the long established character of the Spanish Nation for cou rage. Ca.rilai bravery is proverbial. It has been evinced in repeated conftels with the British. parti cularly in the vigorous attacks upon the almost im pregnable fortrexs of Gibraltar. In the late altion, the Spaniards mood the brunt of the battle. while their caoreing . and dactondie antes stood aloof. Sunday night, three sGhliers belonging to the 31st Regiment were sleteaed breaking open the Royal Oak public-house. in qid g vt 47 , near Weymouth.— 'limy were examined before the Mayor on M uiday morning, and coax-mimed to Dorchester liaola Cox Exparirrroic.

Sir David Baird, according to report, will be joinel, at a certain place of rendezvous, by cavalry, artillery and infantry from England. and the united force is generally believed to be intended as a reinforcement to Sir James gra:. Two General Officers accompany t he troops from England, and the whole of the expedition amounts to more than MOM men. These, added to what are already with Sit James Craig, will make a very considerable force, and it is supposed some corm. nental operation is meditated, probably in concert with the great Northern Power, Who has beds so long and so reasonably expeEted to become a arty with us m the war. g.• _ . .

"MANSION SONS,' ♦U0.•13. omuNG. Jobe Wright, alias Captain Wri, ! ,,ht, alias IWr.Frea cis with two other persons, a mars and woman, were brought b-f ire the Loan ;VIA tiro* this day. charged with d .ff auding several tradesmen of this city, obtaining goods under false pretences. Ike. The female Privmer was known by the name & Mrs. Peasant, and had recently been examined at the Poii:e Office., Marlborongh-street, when it ap peared she bad gives a fiOitions character of the prix .nor Wright, repfesenting hi.a to several trades- men to be a Captain Wright, of consider.able pro pe..-ty. in consequence of which they had given him household furniture, goods, itc. to a large arnuunt. Several warrants hal been issued against him, and at last he was apprehended in Lombard stteet. In the cour'e of the examination, it appeared he had ass-imed the character of a West India Mer chant, and being a Mulatto, this representiti , n w thfc more easily aceredited : he had stated, that be had lately arrived from that part of the world. and had come to settle in London, where he had token warehouses, compting-house.i., sc. fir the purpose of carrying on an extensive tf.ide. The principal charge against the Prisoner, Wr!glit, was made by a master tailor, who had cre• dited him MI. and, having made application for payment, the Prisoner called at his house, on horse back, with a groom. mounted, and dressed in a handsome green and gold livery. He told the tai lor he wanted two new and elegant suits of livery for his servant ; bat the tradesman, doubting the re spetiability or integrity of his new customer, instead of receiving his orders, insisted upon the payment of his hill, or a proper reference for his charaaer ; to which the supposed merchant readily replied, that as he doubted him, he would leave oue of his horses in his possession until his return from the Coffee-house, where he was then gong to receive some money. The horse was accordie:gly deposited as a security for the debt, and the Prisoner never afterwards returned to redeem hint. One day, while the tailor's servant was riding the horse nut, the real owner of him, a horse-dealer in Moorfields, by chance met him, recognised him, and claimed the horse as his own property, having lett him out to hire to the Prisoner. Several other charges were preferred against the Pritoners, and some notes were produced, accepted by the Prisoner, some in the name of I. Wright, and and some in the name of J. I. Wiight, visiting cards were also produced with his address upon them en graved " Mr. Francisco, Nu. 'l.O, Pancras Place, St, Pancras." The Prisoners did not offer any thing in their de feoce, And they were all committed further exa amination. The Jonpb and Edward, DRAKE, from Memel for Plymouth, is lost on Ame Lind.

Addirional barracks are shortly to be erefled at Pett. at Eastbourne, and in the neighbourhood of Lewes. The two latter. we understand, are for detachments of the Royal Artillery.

This being the season whin the amusement of bathing is much praaised, and of cuur.c trequktit accidents occur, by persons imprudently verruring beyond the hounds of safety, we would advise careful attention to the folkwing recommendation of the Hum 4142 Society, as A probable means of rescuing, from an untimely grave, many who other wise become victims to the too prevailing mode of treatment of apparently drowned bodies. viz.--,-Ne 7 ver to be held up by the heels ; not to be rolled on casks, or other rough usage ; and to avoid the Ilse of salt in 411 cases of seeming death. . . LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY—TesfioAr, Aucoar 13 DWASIBRRS W. COLLIS& The Plaintiff in this cans: had taken exceptkets to the Master's report, in which shape it no* came before the Court. Mr. R0b11.. , Y, on the part of Mr. Chamber,- stated. that Sir William Chambers having left a Larne stun of money, to he divided amongst the children of the Plaintiff, this caasewas instituted ; and, on being heard, it was referred to the Master, to enquire the amount of the money coming to each of the minors, and also to examine into the different account, of the Plaintiff, and to report whether he were a prop u person to he entrusted with the care of eh- children ; and, if he were not, then to report whether Mr Aaron Graham was a proper person ? The Master, in the course of last mnath, made iris report, which stated that the min of 1,5001. was coming to each ot the minors out of the property of Sir William Chambers, an I that the sum of OIL a year had been paid to the Plaintiff for the support of each of the children. Two of the sons had gone our to Madras as Cadets, and he did not think there ought to be any allowance made for them, AS thf2irpay wo.:!ti befully sufficient to support them. Another son wa. now preparing toga to Madras as a Cadet, and he was of opinion that nothing further should be allowed for him. The report then, after string other mat ters, says. that All the money allcwed for the main. tenance of the children had been expended, but that the different allowances had not been applied to each of the children respeatively, but the whole fund had been oleswied together for the support of all, so that some of them had been advanced to the prOodice of others; nit which account he was of opinion that the Plaintiff was net a proper person to have the care of the children, and then says that he believes Mr. A. Graham is a proper person, and that the allowances ought to he paid to him. To this Report, Mr. RONtILLY further stated, the Plaintiff had 'Awn twit exceptions : the first was with ?tope& to Augustus Cbambrrs, the boy, who WAS preparing to go to the East Indies, and states, that the Master ought not to have taken away the allowance made on his account, as be, the Plaintiff, was at considerable expence in fitting him out. The next exception went to that part of the Kelton, which stated, that the allowances should be paid. lid Mr. Graham, and alleges, that he should have said the contrary. The L:arned Gentleman tamest that the circumstance of Mr. Chambers's not applying the money to the use of the children individually, was not a sufficient reason for removing them from the care of their father, and therefore hoped these go. ceptions would he allowed. ' the LORD CNA ISCRI.LOR. who had been diligent. ly loeiking into the account of th, expenditore of the chil Iron, said. tint the stile of living was touch too pte; for children that were only entitled :n 1,5001 each ; the extravagance of minors was a err. cumstance that cello to be enquired into; he oil served in one part of the account a charge of Oh Sas for keeping a boy of thirteen years of age ira haft, for the sh irt space of foist months; a sum isfiniteiy , greater than what he would ,dose a soo of his to expend on hats in a rear. The Aeiroaary Gatrsaar. said, that the trades people who would give credit to mirrors to such an extent, should "ot receive payment for their gorses. The Loin Coolers r Los was very happy W.: bit siness came before the Court ; and it gave him an opportunity of cortradiaing an opine fn, that the trading people in general had, namely, that the Court of Chancery would pay the dean of a minor ; but he would inform those who inteet tined this notion, that they were very much mistaken. He then recurred to the account, and said, it was scan dalous to see the extravagance of these chifilre.: ono of them, exclusive of his maintainance. his Lordship observed, had spent 1201. in the course of a year. Mr. Fos at Augur, on the same side with Mr. Routs. v, said, that during the time the father had the care of these children, none of these extravagaa. cies wire to be seen in the account ; those expellees 'frith had attrthed his Lordship's auention related to the time when Lord Charles Somerset had the pre of them. in _es!, he would rather say, when they were under the care of their mother, as it was only the name of that Nobleman that was made use of. On the whole. he trusted that there was in :he condo!: of the Plaintiff that which would induce the yours to adopt a report. by which a oen tleman standing in the relationship of a father would be removed :rent the guardianship of his children. Tae Arrostrav Greer. ea, on the other tile, submitted, that th, report was correft, and ought to be confirmed ; it was not pretended on the pert of the Plaintiff, that Mr. Graham was an improper person; raid why not, therefore, app,rint him, in stead of the Plaintiff, who was found, by the report, to be not a fit person to have the care cra the chnireni It was not required that Mrs. Chamber s Amid 6e appointed to take care of them ; bit it did not fol. low, that because she was gust herself adequate, she had not that regard tar her children, which would induce her, hi r own interest hying out id the clues. lion, to point oat A proper person He then ob served, that no otsjes.tioo had been made to Mr. Graham, and theretote hoped the Court would coa. firm the report. Mr. Rooms st, in reply, observed on the different argumenu which had been made use of; and, with respect to Me. Graham's being a proper per son, he had nothing to say against the gentleman per,art ally. nor hail he any wino to say against Lor I C. Somerset ; but Olt the Court, and every per , en, SAW the extravagant manner they were kept during the time he had the care. and it was pro , .,thle that, from the same cause, there would be the same extra vagance if Mr. Graham we. appointed. The LOlll3 Cn ssC¢LLoa said. he should be very unwilling to seed this back to the Master, on ac count of the events it would incur, but he would speak to the Master himself, and deliver his opinioa in a few days. His Lordship again referred to the account, in one part of o hich 371. was charged to one of the minors, for boots and shoes for a month ; and said he thought it necessary to state, for the in forroatian of the public, that the Court would not allow any paynarot to be made out ot the proper, of minors, except for necessaries. and rho,* us deration, so that if trades-people gave credit a greater extent, they mast lock elsewhere for money. • I 1 .- not - I PcrtY I Eno- tt t 4 du::: ____ lun were Sir This the with res ; re s.
