" We have lost many of our Countrymen, whom turiosity, pleasure, or the Arts have drawn to this Capital : many reasons are assigned, which I believe to lave been occasioned by the suppression of the English Newspapers by order of BONAPARTE, on account of the remarks contained in them on his being named for life, &c. &c. The Palace of St. Cloud is nearly completed for his reception, and Which most of the Parisians look upon as hi; first step to the Palace of Versailles, and the title of Emperor of the Gaul,. As they say, it ne inut pas trop faire 41 la foil—mais tout beau—doucement; 30 it is, but as to Liberty, c'est encore encha;nl.

Numbers take a trip here instead of one to Margate, Biighton, or Tunbridge ; and even Artists of every denomina /101l prefer viewing the public specimens of painting *lnd sculpture in the summer than in winter, as bein g both more convenient and agreeable. " Talking about Artists, I must mention, that have had visits from your celebrated President Of Painting, Mr.WEsr ; OPIE is also here, and are every day at the Louvre. Among Theatrical Gentle_ men I have seen KE2431.t, KELLY, BOWDEN; vSGANONI and Vixc t, also from the Opera House ; Sir JOHN GALLINI, Mr. WILLS, .and Mr. LAw 11l of Edinburgh, have also been constant visitors of Colon's Salle de Danse, who has the training of the Eleves de l'Opera, not to mention your Mar chands des Modes...—so that nu doubt every new st ep and new mode will find its way, the ensuing 'winter, in England.

The Agent from Portsmouth, who had re c. eiv e d t hi s money, has positively sworn to the Sailor being the man who had put his mark to this Power, a nd had received slops to the amount of zol. and 181. In notes and cash, and very clearly explained the time Vhen, and persons employed to get his wages for him; tliis was likewise substantiated by two more Gentle_ fl ea from Portsmouth,who had seen the sailor several tittles, and sold him the clothes, &c. and that he w as then o n b oar d t h e Portland receiving-ship at ~° tt smouth.

PUR LiC-OFFICE) WORSHIP-STREET.-VeSter. day thirteen young men, supposed to have been concerned in the recent depredations committed in the vicinity of Finsbury.square, and the City-road, were brought before the Magistrate, to see if any of them could be identified. Many Gentlemen at tended, who had unfortunately suffered from the brutal violence of the banditti alluded to. The Magistrate desired the Officers to place the men in a ruw, and put their hats on, requesting, if any one could he recognized he might be pointed out. A more desperate set of fellows perhaps was never before exhibited in a justice-room, or who stood the .scrutiny with more bare-faced impudence, Not a person present bu t b e li eve d th em to . be a part'of the gang ; but the night being dark when they robbed , and assaulted, the persons attending could' not swear positively to their persons, with the exception, how ever, of one Gentleman, Mr. Thomas Clarke, of Bunhill-row, who instantly pointed out two, Joseph Aldis and William Barber, as the persons most adive in robbing him, .and consequently nearest his person. The first he could swear positively to ; the second he only believed to be the man. .The Ma gistrate desired the two men to be put to the bar, and Mr. Clarke io be sworn, when he would take down his deposition. _ _ _ Mr. Clarke then stater!, that on Thursday night last, between the hours of nine and ten, he was going from his own house in Bunhill.row to the house of a friend in Old -street, the whole distance not more than two or three hundred yards. The moment he got into Old -street, he heard a great noise, and a mob advancing ; he knocked at his friend's door ; but the servant not coming readily, he was not let in, and before he could knock again a woman came running , up to him with a child in her arms, and begged of him for God's sake, to shield her from the fury of the mob. He placed her next the wall, and stood be fore her, thinking they would pass ; but some fel lows came up to him, and asked him if he had seen a mad bull run that way ? Before he could reply, his hat was taken off his head, and he received a severe blow, from which the blood immediately flowed. He was then surrounded by the most dreadful set of fellows he had ever seen, who used the most horrid imprecations towards him, swearing if he did not take his hand from his fob they would cut his arm off. He said he would, and begged for mercy. They then took his watch, and the first division of thieves passed on ; the woman in the mean time made her escape. He had hardly got upon his legs, when a second party came up, and began beating him as before; the prisoner, Midi:, put his hand into witness's waistcoat pocket, and took out his purse, containing between 2 and 31. while Barber (he believed him to be the same) pulled out Isis papers from his side pocket; after which they also passed on, while a third party dealt on him some more blows from their blud geons,.as they followed their companions. After they were all gone, his friend and the neighbours ventured to give him assistance, and he was taken in doors, very much disfigured with blood, having received several cuts in his head, and being other wise mooch bruised. The Prisoners denied the charge.—Aldis said he was a weaver, and wa9 at Bethnal Green on the night alluded to. Barber said he was a servant in the house of Mr. Clementi, in CheApside, and that he was in a reverse diredion at the time the . rob bery was committed. The Magistrate ordered them to be brought up for a second examination ; and by no means to let the other Prisoners go, in the hope that some other persons may yet come forward to identify them. CITY OF DUBLIN. AT a General Assembly of the. Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR, SHERIFFS, COMMONS, and CITI ZENS of the City of DUBLIN, held on the 3oth day of April, z Boz, it was resolved t n nmously, that the following Address he presented TO SIR LYRE COOTS, XNIGIIT OF THE most HONOURABLE ORDER OF THE RATH, AND MAJOR-GENERAL OF HIS NIAJESTY'S fORCES. SIR, We, the Lord-Mayor, Sheriffs, Commons, and Citizens of the City of Dublin, in Common Council assembled, feel no small degree of satisfaction in congratulating you on your re turn to this your native City, after the very glorious and gal lant part you have taken since the commencer - iv:tit of the War, in support of His Majesty's Arm:, but more particu larly in the various brilliant- Victories obtained over the French Armies in Egypt. It is a duty incumbent on your Countrymen to acknow ledge these important Services, which have shed so conspi cuous a lustre on the British Arms, and have been, in a great measure, the means of obtaini n g f or us t h e b less i ngs of a glorious Peace. In testimony whereof, the Common Seal of said City is hereto a'ilixed-tlie day and year atbresaid. And the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, and Committee s appointed to prep are sa id Add ress, h av i ng waited on Sir EYR E CooTE therewith, he returned the follow ing Answer MY LORD AND GENTLEMEN, The Approbation of his Countrymen is, in the hour of danger, the Soldier's brightest hope,—that Approbation, I have this day the good fortune to receive at the hands of the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, Commons, and Citizens of Dub lin, which, coming trout them, is felt as a testimony highly honourable. • /n approving the services of the Army employed in Egypt, you far over-rate the humble exertions of an individual. Most grateful for your kindness, and with a steady deter m►nation to use every effort to merit a continuance of your favourable opinion, I have the Honour to be, • With the highest respeel, My Lord and cen ilemeb, Your most obliged and faithful Servant, EYRE CUOTE, Major-General.

EXTRACT FROM THE REroRT or' M7SSikS. AND CLOSE, EXPLANATORY OF THEIR PRO- CEEDIN:G', AT TUE PALACE OF HIS LATE HIGH- NESS THE N.Alsoß, IN THEIR INTERVIEWS Olt NFC.OrIATIONS WI CH THE REGENTS AND TAJE UL July 15, r.Sor. " In conformity to your Lordship's instruetions, we proceeded to the Palace of Chepauk, having pre viously caused a message intimating our approach to be communicated through the channel of Lieut. Col. MAINEII., to the Principal Officets of the late Nabob OMDUT U OMltAti. " On our arrival at Chepauk, we were received. by NEJEEB KHAN, TUCKIA ALLY KHAN, KADIR NAWAS KHAN, and Mr. THOMAS BARRETT, who introduced themselves as the Principal Officers of the Government of his Highness OMDUT Ut. OM. RAH. NEJEEB KHAN appeared to hold no distiria office, but to have been a companion of the family since the time of ANWAR UD DEEN KHAN, and to have been consulted generaliv on all occasions of interest to the NABOB Of the CARNATIC. TUCKIA ALLY KHAN was entrusted - with the military affairs of the late Nabob. KADIR NAWAS KHAN super intended the General and Internal Departments of his Highness's Government : but the most import ant Department of his Highness's Government, the administration of the Revenues of the Carnatic, had been entrusted to the charge of Mr. BARRETT. As that -branch of the Nabob's Government affetled more particularly than any other, the rights and interests of the Company, we judge it to be proper to explain to your Lordship, that Mr. BARRETT is of the lowest tribe of native Portuguese, equally destitute of education, mariners, and knowledge. fl We inquired whether any particular arrange ment had been made by the Nabob for the admini stration of the affairs of his Government, in the event which had recently occurred ; and having been informed that an authentic Will, under his seal and signature, had been left by OMDUT UL OMRAH, we desired that it might be produced. NEJEEB KHAN, who direficd the conversation, made the usual objelions, founded on the recency of the Nabob's death, on the necessity of allowing a sufficient interval of time for the ceremonies of the occasion, 'and on the decorum of postponing to open the Will until the Heir appointed should be at liberty, according to the usual pradice, to attend to the transaaion of public business. We replied, that the British Government was aware of the pre_ . vailing usages obse rve d by t h e pro f essors o f t h e Mahommedan Religion on all ordinary occasions of this nature; that your Lordship could have no wish that those usages should be unnecessarily trans gressed, but that the affairs of a great Government,. on which our request was founded, could not be re gulated by the ordinary praftice of individual fami lies. Having, in consequence, been informed that the Nabob had appointed his reputed Son (FADJUL OMRAH, commonly called ALLY HussElN) to be his sole Heir, we again urged the necessity of pro. during the Will, and requested that the young man should be introduced to us. 66 The Khans having been joilicd - RETT, returned, assenting to our request ; and, 3fter a short delay, the young man was introduced with the Will in his hand. The Will having been opened and read by KADIR NAWAS KHAN, was fimnd to he an authentic instrument, expressing in clear, distinct, and explicit terms, the Will of the Nabob Omou - r UL OMRAH, that his reputed Son (ALLY flussEtN) should succeed him in the posses sion of all his rights, possessions, property, and in the sovereignty of the Carnatic. The Will a l so appointed MAHOMMED NEJEEB KHAN, SALAR JUNG, and TucKIA, ALLY h.'HAN, to assist the reputed Son of OMDUT UL OMRAH in the admini stration of his affairs. " On the departure of ALLY filtsstiN, we re quested a private co n ference with the two Khans only, who had been appointed by the will of °M OUT VL OMRAH to assist the Councils of his son. After some preparatory observations on the import ance of the subjea which we were desirous of discussing, and on the consequent necessity of superseding the ordinary forms observed in private families on similar occasions of misfortune, we pro ceeded, with -the concurrence of the Khans, to state the nature of the written documents discovered at Seringapatam. NE JEER KHAN expressed the greatest degree of surprize at this communication, professed his entire ignorance of the subjed, - and proteste, that it was impossible for the Nabob, OMDUT U , , OMR AEI to cherish the intentions imputed to his Highness. Some of the principal • documents hav_ ing been produced, NEJEED KHAN asserted, th they contained none but expressions of civility and compliment; and that the Marquis C o NwA LL Is had repeatedly enjoined the Nabobs MAHommEo ALLY and OStOUT vi. OstaAH, to cultivate a friendly intercourse with Tt ?Poo SuLTAti4 ; that the whole tendency of the correspondence produced was direded to that object, in conformity to the in - junctions of Lord CORNWALLIs, and that the Nabob OMDUT UL OMRAH had. recently addressed himself to Lord CORNWALLIS on the subject of these COM munications. The , particular warmth of the ex pressions used by ()moor UL OMRAH, in his letter addressed to Gito LAM A LLY KHAN on the 14. th Mo_ hurrum, 1209,. having been pointed out to NE JF E a KHAN, he observed. that it was nothing more than an expression of civility which might have heen used on any ordinary occasion. The copy of the cy pher having been produced, Netr Ea KHAN took the, opportunity of saying that the Moomhy of the Nabob was present, and _could be examined with respeEt to the authenticity of the, handwriting ; that although the cypher appeared, as was stated by us, to be. a paper of a very secret _nature, calcu lated to provide for the transaction of affairs of great importance, it might have been conveyed into the archives of TIPPOO SULTAUN ,by the enemies of OMDUT UL OMRAti ; that 'upon being furnished, with the proofs of the supposed treacherous inter course between Tfproo Sur-I - Aux and the family of the Nabob MAtiommEn ALLY, such explanations should be afforded, and such answers given, as the • different cases might require, and that, the proofs being compared, the Company might fvm a com plete judgme(a. $ cis This discoursebeing' apparently intended td, confound the objed of btu. Deputatioin We stated to the two Khans, that in cases of disputed points between independent Powers ; neither party could erect itself into a judge of the condud of the othet parry ; that on those questions an appeal could be made only to the general praaice of the nations of the world ; and that such differences cou'd only be decided by the means possessed by each party re speCtively to provide for its own security ; that with respect to the present case, the most abundant 'proofs were in the possession of the British Govern. anent of the violation of the alliance between the Company anti the late Nabob, and particularly of the express stipulations of the Treaty tit :792 : that the British Government ; being satisfied ot the sufficiency of those proofs ; had no intention of constituting itself a judge of the conduCt of its ally : but that, being prepared to appeal, if necessary, to the established maxims of the public law ot ria_. tions, it had resolved to demand from the late Nabob Omnue tee OMRAH, satisfaction for his violation of the alliance, and security for its rights and iotere ests against the future operation of his Highness's hostile Councils; that the indisposition, which had terminated in the death of the Nabob Omour tre OMRAH, had prevented the execution of the Go vernor-General's orders for this purpose ; that al. though his Highness's right to the support and friend Ship of the Company had been entirely cat off by his violation of the alliance, the British Go vernment being still desirous of preserving the eon,. flexion so long subsisting, would be disposed to ex. tend those sentiments to the reputed Son of ONIDUT UL OMRAH, if an adequate security could be esta blished for the rights of the Company in the Car. natic through the channel of an amicable adjust. ment. The two Khans repeated, that they were ignorant of the existence of the supposed secret in.. Jercourse between the Nabobs WiseAtAll OMDUT • VI. Omit All and TIPPOO SU LTAU ; and NE JEED KHAN in particular stated, that from the tenor of his intercourse with the family of the Nabob, as well as from the expressions of the Will, he did not consi. der himself at liberty, or in any way authorised to give an answer upon so momentous a question, with. out consulting anal obtaining the cJusent of the fa mily and Ministers of the late Nabob. We pro. ceeded to explain slowly and distiaily to the two Khans the course of reasoning and the propositions contained in the Declaration transmitted from Ben. gal, which the Khans having heard with great at_ 'mention, 'we repeated the arguments founded on the pradice of Nations, and 63 the right of the British - Government to provide for the safety of its 'interests, and we demanded to know whether the Khans, on the part of Ate LY HUSSEIN, wer e disposed to an adjustment of the claims of the British Go_. vernment through the channel of an amicable ne gotixion. They professed the greatest degree of respeit and attachment to the British Government : stated that they considered themselves arkd the whole family to be under its immediate proteCtion ; dwelt on the general impossibility of their proceed ing by any other than amicable means in the settle ment of the affairs of the Carnatic, or of the exist ing differences with the British Government ; but carefully avoided a dire& answer to the nro_ r „,„.;,; SIVJJCet. Ihe day being far advanced, the Khans took an opportu nity of urging the necessity of their attention to the funeral of the NabobOmtoor,UL OMRAH, and to the preparations of removing the corpse to Tri chinopoly. This plea was urged in so forcible t manner, upon the grounds of public decorum, and of consideration for the feelings of the family, that we yielded without further discussion, to the evi dent desire of the Khans, to conclude the confer ence, without giving a positive answer to our pro position. It was agreed, however, that art inter view should take place on the evening of the next day, at which the Khans assured us they would be prepared to give a specific answer to our proposi. tions, after consulting the Family and Ministers of the late Nabob, upon the subjeCt of this con ference. " In proceeding to take leave of the Khans, we assured them, in the most unequivocal terms, that ou the answer which they intended to give to our pro position, would depend, whether the British Go. vernment would acknowledge .the claims of the re. ',tired son of the late Nabob OMDUT UL OMRAH to the support of the Company, or whether the Bri. tish Government should proceed to take such mea sures as it might deem to be expedien; for the se_ curity of its rights and interests in the Car_ vatic. July 16th.----At seven o'clock this evening we proceeded, according to appointment, to meet the two Khans at the Palace of Chepauk. Before we proceeded to the dire`} object of the conference, we communicated to N.AJEEE KHA:c, and TucKt A ALLY KHAN, a Persian Translation of the Declara tion. After perusing a considerable part of the Paper, NF Een KHAN' observed,' that it con.. rained the same matter as was explained to him on the preceding day ; that he entirely compre hended the course of the reasoning, an.l that he did not require any farther explanation on the sub jed. He repeated his convidion, that it was im possible for OMDUT CL. OMR Ali to engage in a Cm respondee,ce injurious to the British interests ; and stated, as a confirmation of his belief, the adherence of the Nabob to the pecuniary stipula;ion of his en_ gagements, and the probability that these means had been adopted by his Highness's Enemies iu in jure his reputation. " We proceeded to state to the Khans, the incen yeniencies which had been experienced from the effeas of a divided Government ; the difficulty of applying, under such a system, the resources of the Carnatic to the exigencies of the Public Ser vice ; and the impossibility of intro iueing a regu.. lar form of internal Government, until the dent as of the existing system should be correaed. We then intbrmed the Khans, that the only remedy applicable to the errors of the present :73overn merit of the Carnatic, was, the substitution cf one permanent authority, in lieu of the fluatutting authority which had hitherto subsisted ; that the appropriation of the resources of the Carnatic . , during the Government of the Nabob, and under the pressure of aaua/ war, had been found f rom experier:ce to be incomp a tibl e with the objets Qt
