In the Seven Years War, where he commanded the Second Army, he distinguished himself in a manner whii,ll procured him the unqualified . approbation of Nis Great Brother; the blessings of the Ptussian Domi.; nions, and the admiration of all Etircipe, What is .so universally known needs only be hinted at. • In the War concerning the Bavarian .SucceSsion, he again commanded the Seccinl Army, and penetrated from Saxony into Bohemia: In 1776 he ttavelled Id Stockholm, t7-fd thence to Perersburgh, whence fie . returned to. Berlin with the Great Duke (after,. wards Emperor) PAut. In 5780 he went to Spa s where he had a Conference with the Emperor jostpH, and he aftetw - ards Visited. France; Wherever he went he gained the love and adstni ' ration of all who had the happiness to know him; 2 for his character was not only ennobled and exalted by warlike virtues and political penetration, but refined by misceilaneous knowledge of every kind, by a taste for Science and the Fine Arts ; and the Hero dreaded in the Field, was admired in the . society of Genius arid Learning as the most polished and cheerful companion. His brilliant .Court was an assemblage of noble and ingenious persons, both from abroad And at honle: He Was a great C'cinnols seur in .Music, and had an admirable Band of.Musi ciant for his Chapel; arid an. excellent - Company of French Comedians. He bestowed much taste and magnificence in embellishing Reinsberg, presented to him by his brothet after the Peace of Huberts berg. This romatic situation i - eivOured the hap , piest improvements, and the Monutitents he has ereCted in the gardens to the memory of Many' of his deserving contemporaries, are the fairest Mo numents of his o•wn feeling heart. • FREDERi6C the GREAT a said of him, tiaai he had not committed a single fault throughout the whole Seven Years War.

As the Sheriff mast, by a late Ad of Parlia. *mem, make a return of the Writ into the Crown Office on the 3tst inst. : the whole of this tedious business is expeaed to terminate on Saturday or Monday next, at the latest. It has been, said that BANTI had a husband, but that he had .not been heard of for some years.—Her husband,' hoWever, was with her during the whole of her residence in this Country, but he was a very quiet mari - , -7 and not remarkable for seeing or hear_ ing. _ _ .

A few days ago, - Mr. Rudd, Attorney, of. Old. street Road, on a visit at a friend's house in Lin_ colnshire, the family being alarmed in thelight by some villains breaking into the house, the man servant taking a loaded piece, went down stairs. Mr. Rudd • also followed, but unperceived •by the man -servant, who, conceiving him to be one of the villains, instantly fired at him, and wounded him in so shocking a. manner, that he expired in two hours after. He has left a wife and two children: On Saturday last, Mr. WRIGHT of the Strand,• unfortunately fell : overboard and was drowned, in his passage by the Packet from Boulogne to Dover. "He had been talking 'very .ckeerfully a few minutes :previous to the misfortune r happening, with some Ladies in the Cabin, but• complaining of heat, and -that he was sick in conseciuence of it, he went upon deck, and it is sUpp;”eti tat leaning too far over the side of the Shit, he'lost his balance. iiiiiiiiiii p-do i4;.i . • O Monday -afternoon; about fotir o'clock; .. tne I)oeks being,considered as complete, : the water was admitted.

SUch is the extent ,of, this vast uncles : . taking, that although the. Water ran into the Dock's after the rate of to to 100 d gallons in a second, yet the great "Dock was not completely covered by the next morning at six o'clock. NO kind of form Was used upon the occasion of letting in the water, as Was . expected. The order of the Dire tors for open_ ing the darn was known td very few, except those Immediately engaged in the undertaking.. To morroW; Is fixed for the grind day, when the principal ceremony, will take place. tine o'clock is the hoot appointed for admitting the shipping.

Should the 'general undertaking answer the . expectations formeka fund will be - Provided' to carry on. further improienients: - Thomas Paix.b embarked a few days since at Havre for America. On Monday night fthiards the end of Peckham Fair, such a scene of Villany And bloodshed took place, rap was never perhaps heard of on a similar oc egsiorii. At different parts of the ground on which the Fait: at Peckham . is principally held, are some narrow' entrances, through which people pass back wards and forwarsg On their return that way About ten o'clock, a numerous and desperate gang of Pickpockets planted themselVes near to the passage; and as the people - came up, openly at tacked those who appeared Worth plundering. They first snatched away the hats of both men and women, and the women's handkerchiefs from ,off their necks. Some young %%valet', oftiecent appear ance; were stripped to their petticoats, and several gentlemen, after losing their hats, had the flaps of their 'coats, as well as their pockets, cut away by in strtitnents, and Many lost their money and watches. Those who resisted were treated in the most brutal manner. A female actually had one of her ears cut off for the sake of a valuable ear-ring, the vil lains not being able to pull it away as they had done the other. Manv respectable persons_ who had endeavoured to defend their property, were. dreadfully mangled with sticks about the head and face. A young man and woman of very decent .aprarance were attacked by a party of the same gang, on the road leading from Peckham to Lon don ; they cut away the ,young man's pocket, and took his hat, and then seized the affrighted female, whose dreadful shrieks, though 'Az:lrd all over the neighbourhood, did not .prevent them from cutting off her pockets. The same ,night. a young man. being out' late, was robbed, by thyee villains on Blackfriari Bridge of a guinea.. It also ~appears that the gang, after robbing a young man in Peek hatn.lane, threw him into a ditch, where he wasfound senseless. • It is a great consolation to learn, that t S of these desperate villains have hen apprehemled, have un dergone an examination at the Police Ofiiee in the Borough, and many of them have been committed for trial. Tikesday evening the Coroner's Inquest sat at the Ship, Charing-cross, on the body of John Gilham, who died the same morning at three o'clock.----4t appeared' that the deceased had been to Ozikham; and returnedlorne very 'bitch i:ltoxicated, which was the cause of his death. The jury, after an invcstiga_ tion of near ,four hours, 14rought in their verdiCi., died by the 'excess of drinking. The deceased was a journeyman at Mr. LINCHAM'S Breeches . Manu fidory, Charing-cross. ; • ' • THAMES 'POLICE OPPlCE.—Yesterday Catha rine Mansfield, who was in the habit of 'procuring Seamen for the Merchants during the war, as a Crimp, was examined on the charge of jbseph Richardson, on suspicion of feloniously forging a seaman's - will, the xoth of April, 1797, purporting to be the last will and testament of One Ralph, other, vise Matthew Gore (who died near that period). with intent to defraud Elizabeth Gore, having received al. at Somerset house, to the injury of the said E..
