BRUNN, FEB. t6.—The last Letters ftom grade state, that anarchy and slaughter continue to desolate that unhappy City. The Garrison,' which consists of 5000 men, is divided into several par ties, every one of which has its own Chief. If un der these circumstances the 8000 Turkish Troops which were said to be marching against Belgrade, were to appeal before its gates, there is no doubt but that the Insurgents would surrender. HAGUE, MARCH k.—Admiral de WINTER is returned on board his Ship : he has received from Government all the necessary instrualons relative to his mission, and it, is highly probable that the Squadron under his orders will immediately set sail. BREST, FEB. 27... --The Tourville, of 74 guns, eortunanded by HENRY, set sail this day for St. bentingo. It has on board several Passengers and Troops; and also General DESBURE AUX. THE THEATRE.---THEIR MAJESTIES command ed the representation of Love in a*Village, and the Farce of e-a-la-Illode, last night, at Covent Garden Theatre. The five PRINCESSEf', accom panied their •Augtist parents. The Royal Family, as they respedively entered, received froth an au dience that entirely filled the Theatre, the custom ary tribute of loyal gratulation. Mrs. BILLING TON'S voice was in exquisite order, and she played Rosetta with spirit. HILL again appeared iri Young ,Meadows, as InctED . or: is still too much indis- posed for professional exertions. The House was crowded with fashionable corn'. parry. In one of the side-boxes sat the DUKES of KENT and CUMBERLAND, and between then Sir ALUR ED CLARKE, lately returned from India, who Was much noticed ; on account of the distinguished situation in which he was placed; ,Towards the end of the second aa, a violent disturbance took place in the Pit, which interrupte:l Mrs. BILLINGTON in her song. It was occasioned by the severe pressure on some persons clo§e under the side-boxes. Several were obliged to climb over them from the pit, to the great annoyance of the Ladies, to avoid suffocation; and one Lady was lift. ed up quite senseless. The Proprietors of Drury-Lane Theatre paid a handsome tribute of respet to the memory of the late Duke of BEpf pito, in closing it last night, be. cause it was the time appointed for the interment of His Grace. We are sorty to hear, that Mrs. PowELL, of Drury-Lane•Theaire, is so seriously indisposed, as to require the attendance of two Physiciansc The Comedy of the Fashionable Friends,. which is soon to be brought forward at Drury-Lane The atre; is the manuscript drama that was found among the papers of the late Lord ORFoito, and which has been represented by dilletanti performers at Straw_ berry Hill. Mr. H. JoßtsTsto:t and his wife having renounced their summer quarters in the Hay-Market, join the standard of STEPHEN KENIELE at Newcastle, after the close of the Winter Theatres. They are both so much improved in their profession, that STEPHEN KEMBLE will probably engage them with advantange to himself. It was very proper in the Picnic Proprietors to commence their operations in the 'house of a Ply_ titian, for with such a scheme of dissipation as they seem to have had in view, it was very probable that they would need the aid of their medical host, and in due time-furnish employment for the Ministers of Lucina. Two sun's of a Woble Earl, one of %horn was breeding to be a bricklayer, and the other a tanner, haVe been lately seduced . from these very proper employments by their sister, who is one of the most spirited, clever, lrandsome, and virtuous of the young Ladies of the present day. The young Gentlemen are placed out for education in a manner suited to their. rank and to their own feelings, while the Earl, their father, is in the utmost rage that he should be disappointed in his favourite scheme. The Concorde and Aurora Frigates art . ordered to be repair e d an d fired for.sea immediately s , the lat ter has been lying in Portsmouth Harbour, ready to be paid off, these three months. The Ruby and Standard, which arrived on Sa turday at Portsmouth from Yarmouth, took "round a great number of Seamen lately turned over from the Ships paid off at Deptford, some of whom have been drafted -on board of several Ships lying at Spithead that are fitting for sea. The Ruby is or dered to join the Channel Fleet. Friday last, the Magistrates of Edinburgh, sen tenced Henry Moody, a sailor, to two months lin prisonment in bridewell, for throwing a bottle on the .rage of that , Theatre, turn the upper gallery.

TUESDAY, MARCH 9. This day, the Right Hon. Sir WILL iAM Scoir proceeded to the adjudication of the following causes Enyheden, Kr R, master—This was a Da nish ship laden with a cargo of\ coffee, sugar, avd other articles, amounting to the value of between 8 and 90001. The Court was satisfied, from the documents and letters produced in this case, that there was not a particle of truth in this transaaion, and therefore condemned the same. Susanea, --- Do NOlit7 E master:—This was the case of an American ship laden With a cargo of coffee and sugar, bound on a voyage from Phila delphia to Amsterdam, in which a claim, was given for 90 hogsheads of sugar as neutral property. — The Court, being Satisfit'd with the proofs of pro perty, restored the same. Neutral, Mot, L. 2 master.—This was a ship, laden with a cargo of wheat, coming from Riga and Copenhagen to Barcelona, The Court restored the cargo in this case, subjeft to the cap tor's expences. Maria, --LOP ENS, master.—lt appeared in this case that the ship was condemned on the for mer hearing, and further proof ordered with re- sped to the cargo, which consisted of wine. The Court pronounced the same decree as it did in the former case. JoRTz, master.—The Cdlrt in this case' restored the • property claiinzd oit payinent of the captor's expences. Neptune, JuRcE tqs, master.—This ship was on her voyage froth Rotterdam to Teneriffe, laden with a cargo of flax. The Court being satisfied - as to the proofs of 'property in this case, restored the same on the payment of the Capt Or's expences. La Madona della Graze, master.—This was a ship laden with a very valuable cargo, con sisting of gold, jewels, church plate, and various other articles: The Court condemned both ship and cargo on the ground of breaking the blockade of Malta. WEDNESDAY) MARCH 10. The Castle, RAW sort, master.- - -This Was .a case of aalvage, in which a joint recapture was set up. It appeared that this ship, of 343 tons burthen, laden with a cargo of coffee, sugar, 'and various other articles, bound on a voyage from Surinam to the port of London, was captured by a French privateer, who took the master and all the crew out of her,, except two mariners, .and put a prize, master on board, in order to conduit her to the first port in France, but on the appearance of an English privateer, they endeavoured to run her on shore, and then abandoned her, leaving these two persons on board, who immediately took to the helM, and got her head about, which the French men observing, they attempted to get possession of her again, but were prevented by the inter ferenee of these two men, and His Majesty's ship coming up.' Ii was submitted, on the part of these two ma riners, (who set up a claim of joint salvage) that by their exertion, and making use of the arms which the Frenchmen had left on - board, .they prevented the enemy 'obtaining possession of this ship again, and therefore they were intitled to a joint share in the salVage. • On the part of the King's ship, it was submitted; that these two persons were amply rewarded by being rescued from captivity,' and thereby placed. in a situation which would etiabl them -to recover their wages for the whole of the voyage. The Court said it was not a common service that would intitle them to salvage, and it was of opinion that they did nothing more than what every seaman was'bound to do, and if they had not done so, it would have been a breach of their du:v, and therefore considered them amply rewarded by being rescued from a French prison, and thereby were entitled to recover their wages. Maria, PEACE, master.—This was an American ship, laden with a cargo of coffee, sugar and other articles, which was captured and carried into Cape Nichola Mole, where proceedings were instituted, and the ship restored with freight, but the cargo was condemred. The Court restored the property in this case, and condemned the captors in costs. \ - Palmboriz, GARDELS, master. This was a Da nish ship, laden with a cargo of wine, bound on a voyage to Bourdeaux, ostensibly to F.mbden. Tic Court condemned this property on the ground of there beini.a fraudulent intention of sup plying the 'port of Brest with this commodity. , FUNERAL OF T HE I , UT Br jk Evnrythingorhperly arran , 6 7.zd, Cm: sion. left Woburn Abbey about ten o'cloqicon V . 7;- nesdav * night. The hearse was•drawn by shs horses it was followed by three - Mourning coaches : in the first were Mr. GO-ma ED, the A.nditor and Solicitor ; Mr. PAR v, the Resident Agent for the Woburn Estate ; and Mr. P,RowN, a Solicitor : in the second were the Reverend Mr. Pplaß v, the Ciergymansof Mr. SALMON, th , ,, Resident •Surveyor ; and Mr. SHAW, of Woburn ;' and; in'the third were tht prineip4 servants of the 'household ;—they were follea ..by His Graces carriage, empty, dtawn six bay - horses, and six footmen behind it. The procession passed through 1-locldifFe, Dun_ stable, Market-street; and Redburn, in the most solemn manner. The inhabitants in the i placq. through which the procession passed, were in the road with light.S; and the greatest order 'p.c. vailed. At Rickmansworth they were joined by :t great number of persons who had come from Woburn and other parts di - Bedfordshire. A procession way then formed from thence to Cheynies ; twenty-eight horsemen, Colonel Moot ; and a number of g,..Ti tleriten farnierS on foot, two and two. They were follO s wed.: by the hea - rse and carriages; and the whole was closed by about thirty, of the principal tenants and servants, and abotit sixty farmers, tenants who live on the estate at Cheynies.— The Procession arrived at the Church 'about one o'clock, and at. that time at ;east five thousand persons were assembled in the . village. After the coffin was taken nut of the hearse and placed in the vault, the Evening Service was read by the Curate of the Parish, and a most excellertt Sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. MORR is, Tutor to His Grace, from the Second Epistle to the Corinthians, the ;th chapter and Ist verse. " For we know that if our earthly house'of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of Cod, ,an house not made with hands; eternal in the heavens." A Funeral Anthem was sung, and was performed by a very respectable band of vocal and instrumen tal performers. The Funeral Service was likewise read by Mr. MOWS in the family vault over the corpse. The following inscription is on the coffin : " The Z“ Noble' Francis- Duke of Bedford, horn the Purenty-third day r?fjuly, 1765, and-di:ed the Second day of March, tSo a." This.makes fifty-one of the family whoSc remains have been deposited there. Two of them are em bahned, and stand upright .in leaden coffins. This vault has been the burying-place to the family for upwards of 300 years ; and an old mansion-house (one of the oldest in the family) adjlins the church yard : part of it has been pulled down, and what remains now is a farm-house. Just as the coffin was 'going into the church, a most unbecoming scene of confusion took place, which is too common oil those occasions, by the populace stealing the .....'utcheons from the hearse. --- A man was knocked down and trampled on by a horse, and his kg torn and bruised in a most shock ing-manner. On the mourners endeavouring to follow the Corpse, some of them were literally carried into the Chair: li and others could not gain admittance, "the crowd being so extremely great., The confusion Was occasioned by a number o.fa notorious gang of pickpockets from London who went down in post. chaises. Several persons were robbed of consider able sums of money at the time the Corpse w,c, going into the ,Church. These villains 'make a crowd of themselves. ' The windows of the Church were.broken by the . popalace, who endedvoured to force into the. Church that way. In town, the mournful px.s;ng knell .was sounded for several hours at the Parish Churches of St. George, Blootrisbury,4nd St. Paul, Covent-garden, Minute bells were tolled at each from eleven in the morning till two in the afternoon.

His Grace the Duke of ARGYLL has, as last year authorized his Chamberlain to give a considerable sum to be disposed of by the Farmer Society in Kyn_ tyre, in addition to their premiums this year, for agricultural operations within.the distrid; and the Society `resolved, that so much thereof shn uld be given as premiums to the best Ploughmen. Accord ing!y thirty2three.ploughs, with two horses in each, without a. driver were set to work, on the z3d. and zsth clays of February last, on two different fields. The first premium for the north division, was adjudged to John M'llrearie, servant to Lieut. Col. PORTER, Gt . IC.lloekilay.-The second to liam M‘Millan, son of Daniel McMillan, farmer in KilMichael.

The ploughing in 'general was so well executed, th,4 the Judges were for some time difficulted in determin ing-to whom of the competitors the preference was due. At Hertford, Assizes, John Wood, a carpenter at Royston, was ordered to, be transported Or 14 years, for having some forged Batik.
