WEYMOUTH, JULY So LAST night His MAJESTY, accompanied by General GAETH, Colonel FIT-LRoY, Major DES BOROUGH, Mr. MORTON PITT, and his usual attend ants, walked on the Esplanade. His MAJESTY con versed a long time with the latter, and they staid. VI the carriage was ready for the Play. The ROYAL FAmtLy was highly pleased with the per_ f °rma. - Ices, and in particular with Mr. BANNISTER : the House was well ailed, and the whole went off with great eclat. This morning Hts MAJESTY walked for some time o n the Esplanade. This morning Her Royal -Highness PRINCESS AUGUSTA bathed. After breakfast their Royal Highnesses PR IN tESSES SOYH IA and ANIELIA, accompanied by Lady n `-4 . r.HcART, took an airing in a phaeton.

Mr. BANNISTER. performed the part of Acres In the Play, and jobs= the Cobler in the Farce. We are very much surprised at General DELAN itY havin g given up the contest at Maidstone —,- rout every thing we hear from that place, we be „Veve he would have been at the head of the Poll, if he had not declined. It was Mr. Jos. STRUTT, of Derby, and not t. SmiTti, who was requested to stand for the Town of Nottingham, by a Deputation frOm patty 0 1 the Elelors. Lord GEORGE CAVENDISH and Mr. MUNDY, of Shipley, will be returned for Der4ysbire, without 6 1 3 Position. The latter Gentleman will be under Vt necessity of being represented at the Elution Son, having lately undergone a very severe s urgical operation, from which we are happy to find he is rapidly recovering. h , We are glad to find that the loyal and sensi 'e part of the Livery of London, which happily c 9nstitutes the great majority, are determined to 3 :knee that senseless bawler Mr. WAITHMAN. We ° Pe they will always shew the same spirit, when ever he obtrudes himself, that they ' did on r Thursday. Thursday. The Coalition between Fox and Graham affords P°t* amusement to the Populace. So partial is the rmer to this old trick of his, that we believe he would have no objeftion to coalesce with Sir jef i-e'.) Dunstan, were he to appear on the same Huss_ The meats of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, in the 7 1'nion of the g.fatry who invited him to stand for p i ddlesex, seem to have been his efforts against a Pr ison. Hence they infer that he must be a friend t 0 a Fr ee Conslitution. On M r .

He is n ow much better, and the travellers will therefore Soon proceed to Paris, and from thence to Spain. Colonel GREVILLE had his pocket picked at cord's G roun d on Monday.

BRUSSELS, JULY t.- , - , The epidemic putrid fever which has made such cruel ravages here for six or seven months past, continues to rage with more or less violence.

ROIs.IE, JUNE I 7 -Yesterday the new limb of SARDINIA i ‘ , /rc.rott AMADEUS, with the QUEEN his Consort, MARIA 'THERESA, Archdutchess of Austria, and their Daughter, MARIA BEATRIX ) ar rived here from Naples. Their Majesties went to the Palace of Bolognetti, where the late KING of SARDINIA had taken up his residence the evening before. Their Majesties then waited upon His Ho liness, who received them in the most distinguished manner. HAGUE, JUNE 27. —All, the Vessels that have been sent to our Colorlies since the conclusion of Peace, to announce that agreeable event, have ar rived there in a very good state. From the Letters of the Officers who commanded them, we learn that all the reports which were circulated, of the bad condul of the English Governors towards the Bata vian Colonies, are entirely destitute of foundation ; on the contrary, we find that the greatest ameliora tions have taken place in our Colonies. As several of the Daily Papers have undertaken to state the causes which induced the Senator GREGOIRE, Ex-bishop of Blois, to visit this Country, we are authorized to state ) that his sole objet was to examine the condition of the Chari . - table and other public Institutions of this Nation, which have any relation to Agriculture, and the encouragement of Industry, and not at all with any political views. It is with great pleasure we announce to our Readers, that he has been so forcibly struck with admiration of our civil and economical regulations, that he intends to publish the observa tions which he has made on these interesting subjects. It is not yet certain whether he will pay a visit to Scotland, as London affords him so much scope for observation. We can, however, assert, that he is wholly unacquainted with any person whatever in that Country, and that his sole objet in visiting that part of the Kingdom, will be precisely the same, as led him to reside in this Capital.' During the whole time of his residence here, he has been constantly accompanied by an English Gentleman, from whom we have been authorized to state the above farts.---M. Ga too tk E Was the founder, and is now one of the most distinguished Members of the National Institute, as well as of the AgricUltural Society of France. He is a Member of the Conservative Senate, and was the only dignified Ecclesiastic of France, who, in the times of terror, persecution, and infidelity, had the courage, at the bar of the Convention, to de clare that he would not renounce his religion. ItiLMLLI JUNE le, the forenoOn'of the ryh instant, his Majesty after the Review, accompanied by her Majesty, vi , sited the apartments designed for the, Emperor of Russia ; and both their Majesties expressed in the most gracious terms their satisfaeftion at the • very excellent manner in which they were sfitted up. To shew honour to the distinguished visitors, the town has had two triumphal arches eretr.ted ; one before the Gate of Liebate, representing a portico, the entablature of Walt was supported by four groups of pillars, and iii the frize the inscription : Alexandra et Frederica a Deo jun Bis civitas. In the middle of the attic were the arms of the town ; a Savage leaning On an Anchor, wreathed with flowers. The other triumphal entry, at the end of Linden -street, was formed by two obelisks entwined with garlands of flowers, one bearing the Russian, the other the Prussian flag. On the toth His Imperial Majesty arrived, under the name of a " Comte de Russie," at Polangen, the last frontier town of Russia, three (German) miles hence, where he was received by Comte Kalkreuth, General of Cavalry, who ac companied his Majesty to the entrance of the town. On the way from Polangen to Bommels, half a mile off, where the Royal State Coach with eight horses was. ready to receive him, he was accom panied by several piquers of Hussars, placed there for the purpose, and thence to the town by a Squae dron of Dragoons, and by the Merchants' Guard of this place. His Majesty did not accept the State Coach, but remained in his chariot, attended only by an Adjutant. His Imperial Majesty had put on the Insignia of the Order of the Black , Eagle. He was saluted from the camp with too guns.— His Majesty the King, ornamented with the Rus sian Order of St. Andrew, rode in the mean time on horseback, about a quarter of a mile from the town. On perceiving the Emperor's chariot, his Majesty dismounted, as did the Emperor likewise, and the two illustrious Personages welcomed and embraced each other. The Emperor then mount ed one of the King's led horses, and the two IVlo narchs rode side by side, followed by their united suites (all on horseback) into the town. From the gate of Liebau to the house of the merchant Lorck, were placed two rows of chosen men from the Re_ giments Reinhardt and Schoning, and from the ' Grenadier Battalion Bulow. Before the house of Mr. Lorck, where the King and Queen were lodged, her Majesty, the Queen, came to meet the illustrious guest, and surprized hirn with an embrace, which the Emperor returned, by pressing her Ma jesty's hand to his lips. He remained to dinner with their Majesties, and about four o'clock, ac companied by the Royal Princes, , Kent to his apart ments of the Merchant Glagon's, in Linden-street. Before entering, his Imperial Majesty passed twice before the Guard of 57,2, men and four Officers, and inspeded the Grenadiers, with visible satisfaction.. He then presented Major Von Billow with a gold snuff box, set in pearls, and each of the Officers commanding the guard, with a gold ditto, and each private with a ducat. He conversed much with Major Von Bulow, concerning the arming and equipment of the Prussian Grenadiers, ,and re quested that the greatest part of the Guard might be dismissed, wnich • was immediately complied with, only fifty men being left for this purpose. His Imperial Majesty passed the evening also with their Majesties—the bands of three regiments per forming Turkish musk before the house all the time. On Friday Morning he was present at the Review, at the end of which his Majesty the King placed himself at the - head of the infantry, saluted the Emperor, and then rejoined him, on , which the whole line passed before the two Sovereigns.— The Emperor dined again with the King, and after wards both, accompanied by the Queen, who rode between them, all three on horseback, took a ride to the camp, anvil afterwards through a great part of the town. This morning early (Saturday) the troops were again exercised to the great satisflaion of their Majesties. To please the Queen, the Em peror had ordered 20 cossacks, commanded by Co lonel Eaton, and 3 Officers from Polangen, to the camp, where they went through the manuvres • peculiar to them in riding and fighting with great. dexterity. The King presented the Commander - with a brilliant ring and a gold snuff-box, each of the Officers a gold snuff-box, and each cossack four Frederics d'or. To-day their Majesties have again dined together ; and in the evening are expefted to honour with their presence a Ball, given by the company of merchants trading abroad. The pro prietor of the house where his Imperial Majesty is lodged, receives 200 roubles per diem. The price of all provisions is immensely risen. Tbe Ladies of the Prussian Court have had the honour of a visit from the Empercr tinder the name of Comte de Russie. Their Royal Highnesses the Princes Henry and William, the King's brothers, have received from him the Russian Order of St. An drew, and different Noblemen of the Court other Russian Orders ; in like manner the King has ho noured several persons of the Russian Court. His Imperial Majesty affirmed lie had never passed such agreeable days as in Memel ; and at the request of their Majesties consented to prolong his stay ano ther day. ST. PETERSBURGH; jl. - NE 8. E following is the farther intelligence we have received of the EMPEROR'S journey :—ln Nama His MAJESTY visited, after the Parade, the Cathe dral Church, and then the house wherein PETER the GREAT had once lived. He examined all the curl. osities preserved here, consisting principally of utensils, which that immortal Prince had made use of. The •retnembranee of the hero, and admiration for his great deeds, excite respeft for every thing any wise connected with him. The EMPEROR or. dered that the house, uhich is in a very decayed condition, should be repaired, and every possible measure adopted to preserve a monument which is so precious to every true Russian. His MAJESTY arrived at Dorpat precisely on the day when the new University was opened, and was •conducted by the President and Chancellor, Count MANTEU FF EL, to the Hall of the College, where all the Professors and Students were assetn. Wed, COURT OF . KING', BENCH, IcLi SETTINGS DLrORE LORD LLLEkgdROUGH IN wz:IA AIINSTrit HALL. ARCHER S 7ttt taei WELLINRICE4 MR: PARK, who opened the case for the Plain- , tiff, stated, that this was an anion or the utmost importance to the morals of the Public, and par. ticularly of the rising generation. It was founded on the 25 Geo. 11. c. 36. entitled, " An An for the better. preventing Thefts and Robberies, and for regulating Places of Public Entertainmenr, and punishing Persons keeping disorderly Houses." In the second clause of file Ad, all the mischiefs arising to the Public from persons in the situation of the Defenclant from keeping Public-houses, that were (Ten to persons of all descriptions for the purpose of dancing, are fully set forth.- " And whereas the multitude of places of entertainment for the lower sort of people is another great cause of thefts and robberies, as they are thereby tempted to spend their small substance in riotous pleasures, and in consequence are put on unlawful methods' of supplying their wants and renewing their plea... sures ; in order, therefore, to prevent the said temptation to thefts and robberies, and to correct as far as may be the habit of idleness, which is become too general over the whole kingdom, and is produdive of much mischief and inconvenience, be it there= fore enaned," as prescribed. By this At the person keeping such house forfeits. loot. upon con. It appeared in evidence in this .case, that the Defendant kept, the Coach and - Horses, oppo,ite the George and kllue Boar in Holborn, that dur ing the Winter season his house was open every Monday right for the reception of persons of all descriptions who wished to dance. The admittance was as. 6d. for, each Gentleman, and that entitled him to carry a Lady along with him. The De fendant, who kept this house, supplied them with - liquor and other things tha,t were wanted, and in some cases took the money for admission. The persons that frequented the house were Attornies' clerks, servants, women of the town, &c. Sec. Mr. GARROW, on the part of the Defendant, readily admitted the value of this At of Parlia ment, and said, his Client had defended this at tion on the ground of another case of a similar description, that was tried before Lord KENYON, and where the Defendant was acquitted. 'that was the case of a person who was a Dancing. master, and kept a public room for the instruftion of his scholars in that science, which could not be learned without a number of persons necessarily assembled together. He felt that case was different from the present ; and it would be of the utmost importance to persons in the situation of his Client, as well as to the Public at large, to attend to the law on this case, as it would be laid d own by t h e J Noble and L earn ed Judge. Lord ELL ENBOROUGH observed, that every per son who kept a house of this description without the licence of four Magistrates sitting in a Court of Quarter Sessions, unquestionably incurred the penal ty of tool. and in this Case the Jury had only to see whether the proof was made out on the fads.— They had nothing to do with the motives of the Common Informer in bringing this Adion. He . was bound upon his oath to state what the Law was, and they to find upon the fads which -appear ed in evidence ; and that was a Case in which they could have no great unwillingness ) if it was clearly made out, to find the penalty, in order to repress a pradice that was in an extreme degree mischievous. He had no desire to check dancing as an innocent amusement at a proper time and place ; but the Lc.. gislature had thought fit to mid that no public- • house should be permitted - to admit persons of all descriptions to dance, without a licence from four Magistrates. Now here there was no such licence, and without it, if the people had been all of the purest characters, it would have made no difference ' • but evidence had been give n ' to s h ew t h at good and bad persons frequented this house, which led to the inconvenienetes and mischievous consequences meant to be prohibited by the Legislature ; and those Who had occasion to administer the Criminal Law of the Country, had but too often an opportunity of observ ing that the connections that were formed at these places, often led to vicious courses; and - habits of ex.. pence thus gained, without looking to consequences, frequently terminated fatally for the individuals. The proof in this Case was satisfaaory and complete : it had been proved that it was a public place for the reception of persons for the purpose of dancing;' and after the fad}; were clearly made out, the jury and he were mere instruments for carrying the Lim: into execution. He hoped the mischietS that so often arose in this great capital from so many place s of this description, might be prevented by giving effect to this Adion. Verdia for Plaintiff tool. CHASE v. VAFGHAN. This AE ion was brought to recover the sum of 61. from the, Defendant who is a Lady of fortune and fashion, living in Manchester-square. She admitted that she owed the Plaintiff 41. 175. so that there was a difference of tl. 3s. This Lady at some of her splendid Galas had hired of the Plaintiff eartherr-ware, wine-glasses &c. ; his charge for Soo wine-glasses per night, was only 12s. 6d. for So rummers Here the Plaintiff's Counsel was stopped by the Learned Counsel for tire Defendant, who seemed :o be rather ashamed of the condud of his Client. Verdil for Plaintiff 61. On Monday last died, in the 69th year of her age, at the Grove, 'oxford, Suit)lk, sincerely aria universally' regretted, the Hon. FRANCES AITS DAVY, wife of ELEAvok DAVY, EA.
