F 1 IV A' NC E. •• WE do not aTca to know, with any precise ac curacy, what are the particular points to be brought to-day, hit we have heard enough on the subjea to say, that. we ,are sure the Public will be sa,l,tied with the general result. The sum of 56 r000,0001. for which the Income Tax was Pl::d.ed, and which would have been redeemed by that Tax, !lad it continued, will now be thrown 10,t9the genc'ral. mass of Stock, and will be redeem ed by the operation of the Sinking Fund, in corn ll'on with the , remainder of the Debt. But means . be taken to render the - operation of this Fund s till more . efficacious ; and though so large a sum w ill he added to the Debt, the whole will be paid off earlier than would he etfe&ed by the present system alone. The Sum to he borrowed for the service of the Ye,ar, we have already stated to be 25,000,0001. for England, and 1,00°,0001. and a half for /re / that the Bidding for the Loan is to be -11P°11 Deprred Slack, to commence i n th e y ear 18 ° 8 , in which year, or prior to which, 500,0001.

' A very pleasant circumstance took place here yes terday—Three French lugsail fishing smacks from Dieppe and Havre, anchored in the Sound, at the identical spot under Witheyhedg,e, where they used to bring up previous to the late War, when the strong East winds obliged them to seek far shelter in this Harbour. The sight was truly gratifying to a hum. ber of speEtators, and especially so at the present moment, when almost every heart is elated by the arrival of the Definitive Treaty. The weather be coming moderate, these industrious fishermen sailed in the afternoon to the Westward, in quest of the numerous shoals of mackarel which appear on the Coast of Cornwall. The Officers of the Dock-yard, Ordnance and Viaualling Office at this Port, are in the greatest bustle, in making preparations for the great num ber of Ships of War that are expeeted to be paid off in the course of a few days. Orders are already received for paying off and laying up in Ordinary the Triton, Clyde,and Indefatigable Frigates, which, preVious to the signing the Definitive Treaty, were fitting for sea with the greatest dispatch. .The juste, of 8o guns, which arrived yesterday from Torbay, did not anchor at the usual place of rendezvous for Ships, of the Line in Cawsand Bay, but came to in the Sound, preparatory to coming into Harbour to be paid off. The Aaive Excise Cutter, commanded by Capt. ROBERT Wmto, a most adive and vigilant Officer, captured, o❑ Thursday night last, a few miles off the Edystone, three very fine Cutter rigged Ves sels, belonging to Polperro, laden with upwards of 600 casks of spirits from Guernsey, which were yestezday safely lodged in the Excise Warehouse. PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 4. i-Tts Majesty's Ships Atlas, Trusty, Argo, Roc suck, Pallas, and Inconstant, are now under weigh for the Eastward, to be paid off: - - Arrived the General Small, BELtIR, from Guernsey, with wine , ; Grace de Dieu, FotTRRIER, from Havre de Grace, laden with butter, &c.

Sir William Bens lately .launched at Ipswich, was so named in compliment to the worthy Baronet, in consequence of its being construdel on a. novel plan, and on his suggestion. As this Vessel only carries boo tons butthen, she will be able t 6. sail close up to Calcutta and load and unload withoirt - any other 'assistance. • The Sir' Edward. Hughes,. an outward-bound Ent Indiaman, was run foul - of, by a; large WeSt indiaman in going, down the river ; both Ships' received some damage. • A cause of considerable importance to the mer cantile world was lately.decided in America. A Merchant had insured. a Ship and Cargo, under a warranty that they were, American property ; the ship was however captured' by an 'English Frigate, and condemned at Gibraltar. The. Supreme Courr in America had adjudged, that this sentence of con demnation was conclusive _evidence 'of the warranty hatring keen false, and gave judgment in favour of th 6 Insurers ; but the' Court for the Corredion of Errors, 'or of Appeal, has reversed this decision, and declared, that the Sentence of a Foreign Court, in . such cases, Was slot conclusive.

A melancholy affair took place at the Grange Estate, in this parish, last Friday afternoon. Some - neighbours had been dining with the Overseer .of that property, among whom was Mr. Domtruct: BURKE, Overseer of Florence Hall, the adjoining estate. After dinner IVIr. C called at the Grange, and joined' the company, when a dispute arose between Min and Mr. BURKE relative to the latter having pounded the former' s • horse. • The . parties, after throwing glasses at each-other, got up-, from the table, and closed in a scuffle for some little rime; after which, Mr. BURKE, with loss of blood, fainted, and was 'carried to bed, where he expired at ten o'clock the same evening. There being no Coroner in the Parish, the Over seer of the Grange sent to JOHN GAYNER, Esq. one of His Majesty's Justices of the Peace, request ing him to summon a Jury, to hold an inquest °mile. body of the deceased prior to interment, which was immediately complied with. The verclift returned is, " Accidental Death, occasioned by blows on the body of Dominick Burke, by person or persons unknown." "ROYAL ACADEMY.—Mr. FUSEL! concluded bis Ledures on Painting on Monday last at Somerset., house. The subject of his last Ledure was COM POSITION, which he divided into its main branches, perspicuity, without unity the Artist could not grasp his sub jed, without jt erspicuity he could not tell his story, and without perspeaive he could not place hi's ob jeas in a proper situation. He illustrated the dif ference between composition and apposition. by the examples of distinguished Professors, upon whose merits and excesses he made many learned and judi cious • comments. He again entered' into an ela, borate critique, on the celebrated picture of Tr htArcrit Ei,,the subjeCt of which' was the immolation • of IPHIGENIA, defendin g t h e Artist for veiling the face of AGAMEMNON. Upon this subjel Mr. FUSEL! was equally ingenious and ,conclusive in his reasoning, .clearly proving that it was, the pur pose of, the Artist to excite compnssion,,not and that the latter emotion must necessarily have been raised, if the fulness of parental agony had, been submitted. to the ) -yiew' of the spedator. He confirmed this view of the subject by observing, that Irtircovi,i; and not AGAMEMNON was the chief personage in the piece, 'whose situation was to interest the affelions. Through the whole of these ledures Mr. FUSELr has. manifested great, knowledge of the history and excellencies of his art, as well aS:correa taste, deep erudition, and,,a philosophic. spirit. • . • . Mr. HENRY HoPF., has followed the liberal exam ple of the late Duke.of BEDFORD, in presenting to the Royal Academy, a very fine copy of the Descent from the CrOd, which has generally been considered as the Chef d'auvre of Rua ENS. This fine ropy was painted at Antwerp by the late Mr. GUY HEAD, ,an artist of considerable merit. It is to be . placed over the fire-place in the Great Room of the Royal Academy, and the Cartoons of RAPHAEL will then be arranged with more uniformity. Mr. MICHAEL SHARP, a young Artist of very promising, abilities, bast just finished a portrait of Her Royal Highness the PRINCESS ELIZABETH, ' which has tile merit olbeing very like the 'amiable original, and of exhibiting no inconsiderable snare of professional excellence. This , Artist was a pupil of BEECHY, and he does honour to his master: • It is to be regretted, that the" Constables :do not pay proper atter t aon to their duty, anpinmediately suppress. any ricits that °cc qr. ,Weyesterdanyit., nessed a shameful one in PiceadillY; which Wiis per. milted to last nearly ball an bout..

POOLE, APRIL I: THE ToWn and County of Poole, on Wednesday night, was very splendidly illuminated: The inha:. Wm-its were extremely joyful Sams Souci, the Seat of 'Mr: JEFkEki, the worthy Member, and the hotase * of Mr. GARLAND, the other respeetable Re presentative,` Made a very grand and pleasing ap:. pea rance. Mr. ALLEN, the Iron -faaor, displayed his loyalty by several very pretty and fanciftd transparencies ; and an Officer of theGreys, quartered . there, on the Smuggling duty, had his; apartments in the Mar.. ket-place. very .tastefully and beautifully lighted. In a 'device of considerable- execution a d effeCii a jolly Tar held in his hand the Royal Standard united with the Flag of the.gepublie of France ; he appeared standing on a.b,rink of the briny Main. The sea. in the back ground, and'a distant view of a Vessel, had a very appropriate appearance.' In large letters were seen, • " Heav'n-born Peace appears, "Het gentle presence every bosom cheers " And spreads Festivity throughout the Land" The other verses were impassioned and fine ; the comforts of the Seaman approaching, and the toils of the Soldier ending, were combined in glowing and pathetic language, and the last verse which ended, " The sorrows of the Poor %rill quickly cease," and that tong: separated friends would meet again, had a very rapturous ea . & tin the popuhice, wh o flocked together in. 'thousands: to see the elegant eift4ions of this igicer's loyalty. .One of the New York Fapers, of the 38th Vet). states that :early in February the Army of Thos. SA I lir comprised Bo,:tico men,.:and that vast qUan cities of arms and ammunition had been imported into St. Domingo in Vessels under Spanish Colours. The American Journalists complain that their Minister to France,. Mr. Li vINGSTON; had not been received by the Chief Consul with so much tesijea -as was sliewn to the Marquis CORNWALLIS, and are angry " that so much more 'attention should be paid to the Minister of a -Monarch, than to one fr9m a sister Republic." The celebration of the great Peace 'of 174 g, was not (We think) till a full month after the signing of the Definitive, Treaty. A temporary building had been treaed on the occasion, at a very enormous expence, and . at the national charge, in the Green Park,• opposite the 11(in0 Library,, on a magnifi cent plan, and forming a most noble architedural strufture, extending above four htindred feet in front, and proportionably ,high, composed chiefly of timber, and transparencies, adorned with appro. priate allegOrical Paintings by the best masters of the time. This superb Temple was illuminated beyond all former example, and the . most brilliant fireworks displayed that the art could supply. The KING . (George the Second) and his Court were at. the Library to. enjoy the spelacie, and it was thought that .more than half a million of people were in the Park ; who had the mortification of seeing this grand building set on fire by accident, and one half of the exhibition and rejoicings entire ly cut off and 'destroyed. . , . At the beginning of, th e l ast . century, Bayonne contained 3a,000 inhabitants, but by therniSfortunes. which that city has undergone, the number is now reduced To. 13,000. s When Law z, XIV: in 1659, went to meet his bride, the INFANTA MARIA TNE. RESA,. at St. Jean,iie r iuz, the population of that town amounted to 60,000 souls.' Sixty yeah's ago' it was alone able to furnish rOOO Sailors to the State, while ,at present its population does not, amount to 3000 individualS. The• fate of these two Maritime.
