TPSYMO VTil, Au c s. . THE ROYAL 'FAMILY last night went to the Theatre, to see the Comedy of golly as 7 it mut the Entertainment of The Deaf Lover The ROYAL FAMILY were highly delighted with the 'performance the Manager has . svar'ed no expence to give Eatisfa6tion to the Royal Visitants. This morning PRINCESS ELIZABETH, MARY, and CHARLOTTE Of WALES bathed. T.HEIR MA JESTIES and the PRINCESSES attended Divine Ser vice, where they heard the Ri.v. Mr. A. momp s9N preach a Sermon from Deut. chap. iv. Verse 8. After Church the KING, accompanied by the Marquis of SALISBURY, earl Rostirt, and Lord `(VALSINOHAM walked On the Esplanade. Earl Ro , ,Lusr, Lords V.TALSINCHANI, DART. MOUTH, CH ETWYND, GLENikalkViE, and Sir STE PHEN COTTEKEL 1., are arrived here. ~.Mr. TURNER, the Barrister, is perforthing in the • Winchester ,Company, with great reputation as an Acton. Mr. TAYLOR, from the Bath Theatre, has heen playing at Winchester and Southampton; with great applause; KEMBLi continues to be received with distin. guished respell at Paris, where, indeed, he ends to favourable J reception, that he has been tempted to delay his intended journey to Sp a in.' This Tat . tering reception, Which is the natural consequence - 444 ' 11- yeputation-, his good sense, his classical at tainments, an d hi s prop er con d u ft, h a ve drawn upon , th e malevolent ridicule of an Anonymous Libeller at Paris, who, in the confidence of obscurity, ventures to insinuate something disadvantageoits to his personal spirit, but, whis it known, would cer tainly have reason to repent Of his cowardly calumt. t 9, if his nose is not as callous as his heart. Mrs. SECOND has been playing five nights at the Margate Theatre with great success , her benefit was well attended on Friday last ; her Crazy 7ane, and the songs of Orlando, in the Cabinet, were so well received, that site had three rounds afer she left the Stage ; indeed it would be extraordinary, if one of our best Singers was not to receive an equal .portion of patronage with any Vocal PerforMer of he present day. The Triennial Musical Festival at Birmingham, for the Benefit of the General Hospital, is fixed for /he ;zitl; 23d, and 24th of September next. The sand will consist of the Vocal and Instrumental l e erfotmers of the first-rate abilities in the King. ; and we have no doubt will, not only, attraft a n .uiecroes assemblage, but produce a handsotrie in. crease to the Funds of that excellent Institution.— Ser Advertisement. Lord LAVDEELDALE has Met with another bisap- Uointment in his Political Career. The Peer, of totland were as much averse to making bitty one of their Representatives, as the Citizens of London were to make him a Sherif of Middlesex. The Piccadilly Baronet, it appears, still keeps up the Ball with respett to the Middlesex Return. Another - fraternal dinner took place last Saturday in a town on the confines of this Metropolitan Coonty, nfield.

It happens, how. y et, unfortunately, that the most craive Citizens, the Revolutionary scenes, were those who 'seemed te b e chiefly under. the ineuence of the black Gentle usq,,. In the year :587 it was decided at Grenoble, that Child one by the wife of MAUL FOR DE BEAU. s ° NY in t h e course , o f f our years during whic h h e hcl bee n a b sent from her, was legitimate, and that ~e had con ce i ve d by t hi n4ing on her husband.

Thiii festival bronglii together the major: part of all tir visitors, and such a Motley assemblage could hardly be par:ilk - lied. Among tliic whimsical crowd we recwznited .ipprenticii wanting illaster, s.'anting / 1 0).1 wanting Fash;thn, Pirgins 'wanting Chataaer, ilaithelors wanting Wives, and Wido , irs 'wanting Lovers, bth not one among the 'whole .wanting an Appetite, for there was so much hu6ness dime in the devouring way, that a . itranger might have thought the whole company were eativg fir a wager. The company was very nutrierods, and the weather kind to: their wishes. The theatre in the qtening'pretented the Ope'ra, of The Woodman, which ,waS,peeformed very well throughout. The scene which . representi tha contest among the fair At%theri, was well managed, and was a very pleasing- exhibition The women appeared to so rmich advantage that sonic of them perhaps hit mom than the mark. On Wednesday Dandelion had a More sele& com panjr to the Public Breakfast, but the scene was not leSs gratifying than the variegated groups at the pros pect Bowling Green. The Garden was well attend_• ed; and every thing went off with general spirit and gobd humour. Mrs. Second, in the evening, appeared for the fourth time on our Stage. The eharaeler was Ro ieta in Love b a rs//age. The Airs she gave Wien -great skill, and we have no reason to retract What we said in favotir of the improving state of her theatrical powers. %rite:E. sung the Airs of Yottig Meadorrys With taste and expreSsion. The House was but indifferently attended. A Musical Farce was brought forth for the first time, and we conceive, for the last also. The title was Perse verance ; or, He mast have Her. If the Author is able to do nothing better, we cannot advise him to persevere in the path of the Drama, as it will hardly lead him to the Temple of Fame, or to the Wheel of Fortune. The, .4itembl . y., on Thursday evening, asserzbled but a very few,. and they did not inspire each other with much hilarity.-- I\4:s. SECOND'; Bencfii took place on Friday. The perfortni,n,:es were Rosina,a Scene from the Siege of Belgrade, anti the Farce called Of Age To-inor. row. The Audience were treated with additional Songs. A new Entertainment entitled The . Maid of Margate ; or, The Loyal Tar, was brought forth. Ic 'is a Piece of one Aet, and has at least this merit, that the Heroine might be the Maid of any other Sea-port as well as of Margate. Though it, has no great portion of dramatic excellence, it is by no means devoid of merit. The Charaaers sup_ ported in such a mariner as to give spirit and vigour to the Piece, and it was tolerably well received. — We were glad to see a profitable Theatre, which is not always to be expedid in a region of diversified amusement; Dandelion, on Saturday morning, gave (we use the term properly, because the pleasure exceeded the expence) another Public Breakfast. It was very pleasant, but not very numerously attended, though the weather was favourable. The Cabinet was in the evening represented at the' Theatre, with the farcical Comedy, or the comical Farce of Grays and Means. Our Visitors increase daily, the Hop bring full Cargoes, and Margate is itself again. Tuesday morning last, at eight o'clock, a very singular circumstance occurred at Teignmouth. The sea at low water, instantaneously rose and fell nearly two feet, several tidies in the space of ten minutes ; and the fishing_smacks at sea experienced such violent agitation, that they were in dan gerof being lost, The same phenomenon has been observed at Exmouth, Weymouth, and several places along the Coast..—On the shores of Italy such phenomena are not uncommon : they are there generally regarded as the forerunners of earthquakes. A similar occurrence happened at the time of the destrudion of Lisbon. A few days ago, as a Gentleman tvas..fishing in Totness River, 4n Otter -swpn, towards, him, which he wounded on,the head witta . stOne." , It instantly dived, but in a' short time returned with three others, and commenced an a ttack. upon - thGelitleman with the greatest resolution ; and though his legs were fortified with strong water-boots, and he defended himself with the spike affixed to his rod, he was ultimately obliged to retreat. His legs were so terribly lacerated, that, on reaching his house, he fainted away. . In the parish of Chesterton. Oxfordshire, seven children of William Birch died within one week, viz. a boy of six years of age on the r 7th February ; a girl of two, on the 18th ;a r' f nine years, another of twelve, and a third f sixteen, on the 19th ; a boy of seven, on the z Ise; and another boy • -,_ of ten on the, z3d. Monday se'nnight H. Ibbetson and his wife were committed to Wakefield House of Correttion, for violently assaulting and wounding E. Berry, their niece, who had been married a few days before. These ignorant people having conceived the idea that the young woman had bewitched them, had formed a plan to draw blood from her, in order to dispel the charm : and, meeting with her in the mar ket.place, they both suddenly assailed her, the wo man biting and scratching her, while the husband stabbed her in the body. It is much to be regretted that, notwithstanding the many accidents which happen' persons will still continue to go out of tileit depths to bathe. Sunday morning, about" nine o'clock, five young men took a boat opposite Chelsea, for the purpose of bathing. They bad not been long . in the water before one of them was seen to go down several times, but was supposed by his com panions robe diving, as he was well accustomed to it, but unfortunately in a short time he was found to he missing. gis brother, who WAS of the varty, had him immediately dragged for, and in about an hour he was found, and taken to the Red. House, where a Coroner's Inquest was to be taken on his body yesterday. His name wasßipel; lie wai . Ziyea - rs of age, arid bad lately served his time to a confec. tioner in Vere-street. 7'fiB A gJ. \V SONG.

The emblem of innocence pure to - display, Two dozen of Damsels in white lead the way ; So modest? so spotless ! so chaste they appear, You'd have sworn Covent-Garden itself had got here! Civic Sashes so sweetly dispos'd to reveal, Those charms whichidie mo.lerty strives to conceal : Civic Wreaths, too, they wear whilst fell Anarchy's Tree; Is planted 'midst howlings of " Millions be free." After many fine speeches the Slave-dealer made, After hints at the *Day -and denying his f trade, That nought Might be wanting the triumph to fill, They wound up the Farce upon M--k--t H-11. Good Heavens, what swelling ! what rapture was there, Pray Ladies be seated sweet Sir! take a chair;. I'M really quite, charm'd such pure Damsels to see, So beg with the Meaiber you'll now take your Tea. That the Fruit of true Lileqy'r Tree may be known, From the Fruit of that Tree which the Jacobins own ; Of Jacobite Freedom this Specimen take, And ever avoid it FOR LIBERTY'S SAKE. Disloyalty, Anarchy, Envy, it brings, Contempt of Religion, and hatred of Kings ; It Prottipts Men like tyrants to wish to destrby, The Freedom of others themselves would enjoy.

IN the Legislative Assembly yesterday, a 1 3 eti_ tion was read from a number of Merchants at Am sterdam, requesting a suspension of the proposition made by the Government of State respeding the Indemnification of the Holders of East-India Stock, till they should be enabled to deliver in their thoughts and doubts on the subjed ; or otherwise, that a time be limited within' which they may be permitted to present their Objections to said Pro, position. It was concluded to put this Petition into the hands of Citizen HE LDE lER, CUM Stijl, for consideration and advice, without resumption. Citizen HiLbF)A,' ER delivered a Report to-day on a Letter of the GOvernment of State, proposing the granting of a General Amnesty : the Commis sion were of opinion, for reasons specified in the Report, that the Proposition ought not to be carried in its present form ; they, however, allowed, that the proper time was arrived for granting a General Amnesty ; and therefore trusted that the Government would send in a new proposi tion on the subjed. The Committee of Trade and Navigation, at Amsterdam„ has addressed a Letter to the Nieman tile Inhabitants of that City, in consequence of having been requested by the Council of Home Affairs of this Republic, to co-operate with them in searching into the cause of the decline of the Fisheries, as well as other Departments of Com merce ; with a view to take advantage of the' pro fessional knowledge of the Commercial Eddy at large, for the removing of those obstacles •which tend to depress trade ; and thus to enable the Go Vern ment to adopt such laws and regulations as wa:; tend to the support and even the increase of Comtnerce. PUBLIC OFFICE, HATTONGARDEN.---YeVerday a Publican of the name of Lorent, a Foreigner, re siding at Paddington; was sued at the suit of the Commissioners of Exciiefot- the penalty of col. for pitching a tent at the Junction Canal, some distance from his house,. for the purpose of retailing spi rituous liquors, not having-a license for so doing' beyond the limits of his own premises. In consi deration of Mr. Lorent's ignorance. of the Excise Laws, the Magistrates mitigated the fine to 51. On Wednesday a remarkable accident occurred in a hay field near the Ketch, on the road to Kempsey, Worcestershire : one of the mowers having laid his scythe down on the grass by the hay-rick, a valuOle horse employed in the team set his foot ,upon it, when it turned suddenly up.

A forgery lias also appeared on the Guinea Nl;res of the Bank of Scotland: THE PRINCE OF WALES's PArILL THE following particulars have been publishe.l respeding the improvements and alterations in the Prince of WALES'S Residence at Brighton : The PRINCE'S Bed chamber is divided into tire compartments ; the cent.. - c it:closes, by Sliding:par titions, the bed intended :to be fitted up as a tent, with looking glasses and reflectors, - exhibiting to His Royal Highness the Numenade on the Sceine very distindly, while he reclines on his pillow,— On one side is anAnti-room, and on the other a Bre;ik fast-room for the accommodation of the PIO NC E. The Grind Saloon remains as before. The Painting, by. RE ECcA,Nis been cleaned with ini mitable skill, by Nit. CR AC.E, jun.. The Dome, however, is partly new, exccpt the figures, by the Artist BAR Z A 00.• The Conservatory. (an additional wing) : is ex tre►nely light and elegant ; the ceiling of which is painted in in, fresco. The plant-s to be of the most rare and variegated kind=thost. already dispersed about the building evince much skill in the:: distriburion. • • The Eating-room (the ogler adiitional, wing) has a very pleasing effea, commands an entire view of the Steke and sea. The ceiling painted sky, the pannels dark maroon, and the style yellow. It is intended to furnish this room in imitation of a Chinese tent; the furniture and disposition of the whole executed by Yloßts, who has been twice at Paris to procure patterns for the* approbation cf the PRINCE. The windows of the whole suit are executed with uncommon mechanical skill ; the shutters arc wainscot, and, when closed, form pil_ lasters to the window-frames. The Library will be fitted up wit!) elegant book cases, in the French style, in imitation of satin wood—the paper a brilliant yellow. The Billiard-Toom is very extensive, and will include hazard, billiard, and money tables, so that the large .parties, whom it is the PR INC e's pleasure to entertain during the race week, nuy each amuse himself after his own whim. The entrance to the stair-case from the Anti-room is extremely spacious and grand—foUr pillars in scalioli are by RICHTER. The newels and skirting boards imitate wainscot ; the walls are painted , a bright green, and ceiling of the stair-case grey and white. The Hall, stone colour and white ; in the centre is placed a patent stove, which communicates warmth to the whole building. All the coridores are painted a beautiful blue, and the effect froui one end to the other is very striking. The i'ront of the. building from the Steine is very pleasing, the ad , iitionai Wings presenting an uniformity which was wanted before; this is to be attributed to the architettural chastity of Mr. HOLLAND. The grounds are disposed with great piduresque beauty . and effeel by Mess. LAP IDGE and Hoorrs, Pupil s o f the ingenious BROWN. The front, to,vatds Ea:,t.:street, is brought for ward with a pediment frontispiece, supported by four imtnense columns, and the plaster work in fresco ; all in imitation of .scone. The drive-it: was before very narrow ; the. Pitr: , :c E, with his usual discrimination, selected Sir JoHN LADE ID improve and render it more commodious, which he has done with great skill. The fiMlily part of the house and domestic offices' are still too small for the accommodatiot? of the servants; however, when the Pt: INCE ha., recovered his rigirts in at. rear from the Duchy of Cornwall, he intend, to add another wing to :,urresp , ..)ral with the house, late WELT JE'S. The stables and coach.houses„ which are very spacious, lthve not been altered, but merely repainted. The PRINCE, on his -arrival at the Pavillion, pre vious to the races, expressed himself highly picased with the improvements t,pon the whole, but de termined upon many alterations, which ate to com mence_ immediately after his Kith.day, when he units Brighton for Wcymourh. The veiy chaste and accurate eye of the PIONCZ is offended at a mixture of the orders of ArchiteaUte interwoven. with the alterations, which, in his estimation, do not harmonize. The dome is to be completely al= tered, the painting, by REBECCA, taken down.
