Lord WHITWORTH, the Ambassador from land, presented the Dutchess of Doasex his Spouse, the Dutchess of GORDON and Lady GEort- GINA. GoRDON, the Dutchess of NEWCASTLE, Lady CHOLMONDELY, Lady CONYNGHAM, Lady ELIZABETH MONCK, Lady ELIZABETH FORS'rER, Daughter of the Earl of BRISTOL, Bishop of Derry Sir JOHN, Lady, and Miss CALLANDER, Co!onei RootrE, Lieutenant-Colonel MATTHEW, Lora FRE DERICK MONTAGUE, Major STAPLES, and Mrs. ORBY HUNTER. The Deputies of the Helvetic Cantons convoked at Paris in order to give their opinion on a Plan of a Constitution, proper for the reestablishment of Peace and Union in Helvetia, have arrived here, with the exception of a very small number. The Government has appointed a Commission of four Members, consisting of Citizens BARTHE LEMY, DESMEUNIERS, RCEDERER, and FOUCHE, to confer with the Deputies, in order to receive and dis cuss their observations and plans. They are all in. vited to assemble at the House of the Mini:;ter fcr Foreign Affairs. The four Commissioners will assist at this Assembly. It is thought a Plan of a new Central and F6deral Constitution will he commu nicated to them, which in fulfilling the concilia tory views of the French Government, will also meet the general wish manifested by the people of the different Cantons. BRUSSELS, DEC. 6.—Letters from Paris' conti nue to assure us, that the journey of the FIRST CONSUL into ci-dea,ant Belgium, will take place in the month of January next, and that after having visited the Cities of Brussels, Antrwerp, and Ghent, after having examined and givers the necessary or ders respecting the opening of the Canal between Charier()); and Brussels, for the purpose of forming a junftion between the Sambre and the Scheldt, the FIRST CONSUL will proceed direaly to May ence. It is added, that the Minister of War will join BONAP ART E on the Banks of the Rhine, in order to examine the Plan formed for the purpose of establishing a Military Line on the Left Bank of that River, between Frankenthal and the Frontiers of the Batavian Republic. BERNE, DEC. 3.—We learn from the Italian Cantons, that the Diets assembled at Lugano and Bellinzona, have charged Citizen RUTTI MAN, First Statthalter, at present at Paris, to represent those Cant Ons in the Congress. The Diet of Zug, on the refusal of the Ex-Direaor LAH ARP E, has appointed for its Deputy, Gen. AND E RMATT. The Editor of one of the Journals published at Berne, has been conduled under a military escort before Genei',al . NEY, in consequence of an article which appe.ired in his Journal. The General de clared on the occasion, that the Journals of Berne should pass under the censurate of his Office. The Drawing-room at St. Cloud on. Thursday se'nnight, in point of brilliancy and fashion, edits ed all former precedent. Madame BONAPARTE en tered the Drawing-room at half past three o'clock, w hen the presentations took place. Her Grace the Dutchess of DORSET was honoured by Madame BONAPARTE with the most marked attention.— The ceremony of presentation being over, the Com pany were ushered through the long gallery, to a spacious apartment, where refreshments were served u p, consisting of the choicest wines, 'fruits, and other dainties. The present being the first time of this custom taking place, we may consider it as a compliment to the . English Embassy. About five o'clock the Company withdrew, highly satisfied with the polite reception they had experienced. Lord GRENVILLE.bas heretofore so ably reason ed against the formidable progress of French power, that it is surprizing a Statesman of his great talents, knowledge, and experience, should not see that the power. of France is touch more formidable at this nioment than ever it was during the time when his Lordship was in Administration, and when he so strenuously contended in support of a vigilant jea lousy of, that Power. AS to what has been urged by his Lordship and others on the condua of our Ancestois, after the termination of a War, .till it can be shewn that this country was ever in a situa tion corresponding with the present, all arguments drawn from precedent are irrelevant. France never stood in such a menacing attitude, never was she able to spread such alarm over the Continent, and to endanger the independence of all Continental • States. in fart, she may be said to have many of those States under her control, and most of them, one way or other, under her ;nfluence. It would there fore.be in her power to do us material injury in . a commercial point of view by her ascendancy over other States, unless we kept up a powerful national force for defence or annoyance, as circum stances might dklate. Neither Lord GRENVILLE nor any of his political friends are much disposed to rely upon the amicable disposition of France to wards this country, and, therefore, it is astonishing that his Lordship does not admit the necessity of our being well prepared against any hostile dispo_ . sition, without requiring explanations from Mini sters, or communications from the Throne, upon a matter that is obvious to every man capable of the least reflealon, PRINCE WILLIAM Of GLOUCESTER visited, on the igth ult. the arsenals and other objeas of curio_ shy at Stockholm, and was present in the evening at a magnificent Ball, given in honour of him by the British Minister, Mr. ARBUTHNOT, to which all the Corps DiplomatiqUe and the Noblesse were invited. Monday se'nnight a meeting took place, near Sandymount, Ireland, between WILLI AM M-s, Esq. of Londonderry, and a Mr. B E, of Bourdeaux, in consequence of a dispute at the Theatre. After two shots each had been. fired, without effeel, the Seconds interfered, but could not reconcile the parties. They took their ground again and fired ;- Mr. M.'s ball struck Mr. B. in the side, who fell, .and Mr. M. received a slight wound in the knee. Happily Mi. B/s wound is prQnounced . by his Suwon not mortal; LAW REPORT'. CVILDHALL, LONDON, Dzc. 14. 311 - 1 - :NOS IMFORE LORD ELI.FINBOROUGIt. r . AVY CIIAMBERT. 'ON AND ANOTHER; THIS was an Anion to recover the value of the Plaintiff's horse, which the Defendant killed, by furiously driving his chaise against him as they were near Vauxhall. It appeared that the Defendants were much to blatne, ►nd somewhat intoxicated, and that the Plaintiff had no power to avoid them ; one of the Defendants is a Teacher of youth near Newington. The value of the horse was 601. and it cost the Plaintiff i ss. Bd. at a public house, where the horse instantly died. Verdiet for the Plaintiff—Damages 601. Is's. Bd. Lord and La,ly CASTLEREAGH, attended. by a seled party of friends, visited the East India House and Warehouses yesterday, and testified the highest . . satisfaaion at the magnificence of the buildings, and minute order and corretness displayed through out the vast suite of the Company's commercial apartments. The Flag presen'ted to Earl Si'. ViNCENT by the Seamen - and Marine's. of the Ville de Paris, was last week delivered tolfis Lordship by Captain JOHN Jovor, formerly onevof .the Lieutenants of that Ship, who, at their • reqiiest, had undertaken to convey this tribute of respe for their late Ad, miral. His Lordship expressed the highest satisfac tion at receiving so flattering a mnik of attention from such a gallant body of men, who, on all- occa sions, had manifested a just sense of the advan. tages of systematic discipline, by the most zeal ous and prompt obedience in the discharge of their duty. The flag is of white silk, with a red cross (which his Lordship bore when last in com mand) his arms are beautifully embroidered in the centre. In the upper divisions are the. words, " God save the King," and " Long live Earl St. Vincent ;" and in the lower, the following inscr_ip tion" This Flag is presented to the Earl of St. Vincent as an humble testimony of gratitude and re ped, by the Crew of His Majesty's ship the Tille de Paris." The New Palace at Kew iu to be sheltered on the north-east side by a wall thirty feet high, which will completely shut out the view of Old Brentlord. Baroness HowE has purchased the pleasant Cot tage adjoining POPE'S Villa, on the Banks ,of the Thames, at Twickenham, formerly built aid oc cupied by HUDSON the Painter. When Lord Wur.rwor,TH and the Datchcss of DORSET were introduced to Madzine BONAPARTE, it is said, the ConAless was more struck with his Lordship's figure, than her Grace. The Pic-Nic Patrons, it seems, mean to subscribe Seven Guineas each for their ensuing entertain ments. This is an appropriate number, and may be thought to indicate the nature of these entertain ments, in which we may say " Seven's the Main." MARA has exerted her great talents with much success at Paris. She has quitted that, capital, and after stopping a week at Berlin, where she was for merly a very great favourite, proceeds upon a very advantageous engagement to Petersburgh. A' very curious circumstance happened lately, during Divine Service, at Minster, in the Isle of Sheppy : As the Rev. Mr. MARTIN was reading the . Service, and had just uttered, '' 0! Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world," a hoUse lamb, belonging to Mr. StF.FR EN ROUSE, made his appearance at the entrance of the Church, and baa'd ; in consequence of which his master, Mr: ROUSE, was obliged to get out of his pew, and turn him out of Church. • Intelligence has been received by way, of ,Leg - _ horn, of the death of Prince JOSEPH BENED iCTUS MAR I A-PL AC I DITS, of Savoy, brother to. His SAIL- DINLAN MAJESTY. The event took place e,eSasari, in the island of Sardinia, : •Of'whielf - he was GOver nor,. on the z9th of oaobCr. He was thirty-six years old. • Nine persons were lately bitten, 'and some of them horribly - mangled, by a wolf, at Fleury, in the Department of La Meuse, two of ,whom died in consequence of their wounds. Several persons were also successively attacked, a short time since, by an enraged wolf at Mont de Marsan, two of whom were mortally wounded. The Rhone has overflowed its Banks, and inun dated part of the adjacent Country. A greater drought is stated in Letters from Rouen, of the Bth instant, to afilid the ci-devant Province of Normandy, than was ever before known in that country. A slight shock of an Earthquake was felt al Arnay, in France, in the night of the 27th ult. which lasted about a second. The Vaccine Innoculation of the Princess W I - HELMINA of Sweden has perfeEtly succeeded, and her health is entirely re-established, a circumstance which will not a little Contribute to spread the prac tice in that Country. A peasant of Iceland, named Gudmund Johlyon, who, at the hazard of his life, saved several perSOns shipwrecked upon that Coast, in a violent tempest, on the zoth of May, has lately received from His Danish Majesty, a gold medal, with permission to wear it as a badge of honour. The Institution of the Fillet de la Cbarite has been re-established at Brussels by the Prefect of 'the DepartMent of the Dyle, .who has placed at their disposal one of the ci-devane Convents in that City, and has authorised them to wear, in the interior of their house, the costume of their order. - • The CoMmission appointed by the Batavian Go vernment, have at length succeeded in prevailing upon a sufficient number of the Inhabitants . of Amsterdam to take upon themselveS the superin e tendance of the levying 'of the extraordinary con tribution imposed upon that City. Mrs. Jos DAN'S jewels were stolen out of her car riage, a few evenings since, in Drury-lane e but we' are glad to hear that the villains were next morn ing taken into custody by the Bow-street Officers, while in the act of dividing the spoil. Her .Maid se-rvant had put them into the carriage, as he mis tress was coming out of the Theatre ; but before she arrived, the further doot was opened, and the iewela easrie4 (6, :E DINEURGT - 1, DrIC. tOkTY:SECONn iIEGI2,IENT; ON Thursday forenoon this gallant Regiment was drawn up on the Castlehill, presende of Hi;; Excellency General VizsE; the North .British Sr.tf, .

On the evening of the same day, as Messrs,: Hoop,. beldnging to the Customhouse at New., haven, were 'returning hothe froth LeWes, by, the way of Rottingdean, they fell in with a party t,f smugglers at the greenway-gai , ;, near. that place; and seized from them 46 casks of brandy and rum; and nearly 30 bags of tobacco, Which the nett morning, they conveyed in a waaggon to HiS jesty's warehouse at the aboi'e port. It is reported; that the Escort lately sailed from . Leith Roads to the Southward; fell in with, in the night-time, a large Smugglin4 lugger, lying to on the coast of England; Which the Captain of the Escort, affeding to take no notice of; passed by as if he had been a theichant ship and having previously marked the situation of the lug ger, and proceeding. on till he was ()tit of sight of her, he manned his boats with all the seamen and marines he could spate, and rowing back to the Ittg.X ger, boarded" and took possession Of her..before they had any suspicion of, his intention..., The lugger is stated: to be laden with 903 tinkers of Geneva; , and 300 hogsheads of tobacco. .

The father, in the nigrping,,previtn to his.going; to a friend's wedding;-had.einn - tied his liocketS; and plated some gunpowder on the ihel vet in the kitchen. He and his wife Went away, leaving two of his own children, and two of his neighbour's (the eldest not exceeding seven years), in hiS house,;', In the course of the forenoon the children found the powder, and unfortunately - threw it (about half pound).into the fire. The explOslon, of cdtirs'e s was • very great. One of the children escaped unhurt ; one receiVed a shock in,his forehead; another is dreadfully burnt, and very little hopes entertained of his re:. covery. The other, which was the eld.!st, , and who threw the powder into the' fire, had hir; clothes set on fire (they were a jacket and trowsers made of plush velvet). These clothes, ti doubt, retained the fife a great while; for it appeared he tan out . of the, house in a blaze, went to the distance of two fields, Over two hedges, having attempted - to extinguish the fire by wallowintr, but to no effea ; for when he vas found, all his clothes • :were burnt of his body, except the wrist -of' 'his shirt and his garter, which were then hurn ing,' and, shocking to relate; the Miserable ,infant was in existence, and dot only so, but sensible, and was able to relate the above . fads ; and, still mote surprizing; he was taken up, , carried borne, - lived sensible for air hour afterwards, and then resigned his breath without a murmur or a groan: On vie 4 [ of the bddy, it had 'the appearance of a cornilete -Blackamoor: Three jewS, .Who have for Sallie time been irr custody in., the Poultry Compel., on sospitiod Of. being concerned - in picking a Gentlenian'S pocket; near the Exchange; of a pocket:book; in-whiCh were upwards of 4.00 l: in bank -notes; were on Monday had up before the Loan MAtorc, who; in conse girence of there not being evidence suffrcien't duced tdafFed them, ordered them' to be discharged: A Jew Boy, who, on this occasion, has xnide -some discoveries', was ordered to be detained, as' there is still a prOsped of the Principals in this bnsinesS . jog within the reach. of the vigilance of the City Police.
