ROBERT CARY ELVES, Sheriff; Billing, June 7, iSoz. MAILS. DUE. I ARRIVED Holland F rench - I laniburgh THE SUN. SOLES! QUIS DICERE YALSUM AUDEAT ? LONDON, ;UNE 8, ISo z. nits morning we received Paris Papers of the 411 inst. They , contain little that is important, if we except an article from Bourdeaux, of the z9th , ult.. which states 'the arrival there of a Vessel from Guadaloupe, and which on the Isth of April touched at Dominica, where, the Master of this Vessel states, there was an insurration of the Blacks, three.fourths of whom are represented to have been in arms against the Whites. This in. telligence, we mu s t observe, is twelve or fourteen days biter than the accounts brought by the Mar rim:a. We must soon, we should hope, have more certain, iand we trust more satisfaftory intelligence on this important subjea. The Five per CentS. were on the 33 at 55. 30. Ix another part of this Paper, we have inserted the observations on the last debates of the English farliamen!, which appeared in the Moniteue' of the 3tl inst. It is al article so very pacific in its nature and tendency, that we cannot avoid feeling great pleasure in laying it before our Readers. To the animadversions of the French Journals on the hostile tone of the English Papers, the Morn ing Post of yesterday has been able to make no bet ter reply, than by attacking this and a Morning Pa per with aspersions equally false and unjustifiable. It asserts that " BO NAPA?. TE conduas these Papers, and sends, through Messrs. OTTO and ADD NGION . , 3UCII articles fur publication as he deems it fit the English people should read." Whoever has attended to the principles and conduct of this Paper and the other aZuded to, must have per ceived;that they have uniformly abstained from all in vedive against France during the course of the Ne gotiation for Peace, and from all spirit of animosity, when it was ratified. The Morning Post, however, and several other Papers, which during the War, distinguished themselves for their zeal in the cause of France ; which justititd the Revolution, and apologized fir its atrocities, have, on a sudden been tran;formed into violent enemies, because the Peace between the two Centuries has wholly extinguish ed the hoyt's of those who looked for personal ad vantages amidst the wrecks of Civil Society. It is a fast, which perhaps may have escaped gene ral observation, that the most virulent opponents of the present Government of France, are chiefly among the number of those who were tie Advocates of ROB ESP TERRE and the Committee of Public Safety. Irritated beyond measure, at the discomfiture of their plans, perceiving ail their lofty pretensions to theo ratical perfeeti3n vanish before their eyes, their minds a:e naturally embittered against the person of that Chief Magistrate, who, more than any other man in France, has-contribated to hasten the 'clown fai of this pernicious system. Such is the real charafter, ill general, of those who avow hostility against the present French Government ; and such are the motives which direct the tenor of their: conduct. This Paper, on the contrary, has preserved an uniformity of tone, not inconsistent, we trl4,t, with judgment and good sense. When the two Nations were unfortunately eng,tged in war - faze, this Paper supported with vigour the great moral an political • obje.fts fur whichwe were contending. And when, at length, Adwinistration had eff:4ed their purpose, w 1 the state of Civil. Society been= nolOnger endangered, it rejoiced in common with the w h o l e people, on the cessation of hostilities, and it per n;itted. 420 sentiments whiFh could give offence to, oar disc:wine the pacific temper of our late Enemy. TE:s morning arrived a Hamburgb tail. Ear an Article fr:,m roma, dated the 2t,1 of May,'we learn that the two hostile parties in the Island of Co►fu, have again had some open encountets, in which a number of lives were lost. The Diet of Hungary have readily complied with the EXPEROR'S demand, of an addition of Two Millions a year to the Land-tax. None of his measures are likely to meet with any obstruftion. His Swedish Majesty was to leave Stockholm on the Sib of this month, on his tour to Finland. His Royal Highness the DUKE of CAMBRIDGE arrived at Ritzebuttel on the 3oth of May, and set off in the afternoon of the same day for Hanover. 11re , w-1 7 ork Papers of the 24th of April were yes terday received. They contain a variety of Ac counts from St. Domingo, which describe the French as having made very little progress in reducing the Island to subjettion. The accounts are not later thin the French Official Dispatches, but they are useful as a supplement to the latter. • The Harmonic Club dined yesterday , at the "Fhajched-House Tavern. His Royal Highness the PRINCE of WALES honoured the Meeting with his presence. At the QUEEN'S Concert on I riday night, the Ladies wore different dresses from those in which they appeared at Court. This gave full employment to all the Milliners and Mantua-makers in town. Mrs. DRUMMOND SMITH and Mrs. COCKEREL both gave grand routes on Friday night. That of the latter was particularly crowcie,i. Last night Miss MoacANs gave their Annual IVlasqued Ball, which Was most splendidly and numerously attended. _ _ To-morrow the Marquis of SALISBURY gives a grand dinner, at his house in Arlington-street. The Masquerade at Ranelagh on Friday night was well attended, and the supper and wines were plentiful and good. Messrs. PRICE and SHAW start for the City, and a warm contest is expected. Mr. W. SMITH is determined to stand for Mr. vich, but we believe with little chance of success. Mr. DUNDAS, it is said, will have thirty out of the farty-five Members for Scotland returned in his interest at the approaching General Election. Mr. ROBSON intends going to the Continent, far the purpose of studying the Engli.rh language. The Earl of BUCKINGHAMSHIRE went to France about ten days ago, attended only by a single ser vant. The first proceeds of the sale of the Charib lands in St. Vincent are for the entire liquidation of the Civil List arrears,. a measure that will entitle Mr. ADDINGTON to the sincere thanks of thousands. We have no doubt of a Commercial Arrangement between this Country and France being very soon concluded, both Governments being, as we firmly believe, actuated by the sincerest desire to preserve the good understanding that so happily subsists be tween the two Countries. The charaCter which our Countrymen, who were imprisoned at Lille in Flanders, left behind them is worthy of record. Out of 4000 British troops who were confined in the Citadel of that Town, not a single demand was left unliquidated. The inhabitants express the highest satisfaCtion at 'their condut, and often contrast it with that of the Soldiers of some other Powers, who accrued debts which they never paid. A great number of the English now at Paris have been greatly mortified at the late regulation which has been made at-the Court of the Thuilleties, by which they are exclUded from being intro teed to the First Consul. There is now a standing order, that no English person shall be presented to the First Consul, who has not been previously presented ill St. James's. And in consequence of this order, :he Dutchess of CILMB E RI,A ND could not be present. ed to Madame BONAPARTE at the last review. A Subscription was opened yesterday se'nnight for improving the Harbour of Bristol, by floating docks, &c. 200,0001. is estimated will be the ex_ pence. On Monday and the following day 100,6001. were subscribed, and the whole was completed on Thursday afternoon. An attempt. was made by the Contralors to take from the Subscribers to the Irish Loan the benefit of the Exchange between the two Countries, which is about 3 per cent, but we believe without success. The loss to the holders of chat Loan is already great enough. At four o'clock, Friday afternoon, the three Re giments of the East India VolgnteerTroops yen. dezvoused on their parade, at their warehouses in New-stncer, having received orders to march from thence to ;heir Add, near Islington, where a num_ her of people attended ;, but the above orders being "countermanded, the Thanks of the House of Com mons were read to them by their Colonel Coin mandarin, and they were dismissed at five o'clock. Last Friday the St. Clement Danes Association assembled in Temple gardens, and fired a feu de • joje in honour of His Majesty's birth-day, from Whence they marched to their church, when Capt. EDWARDS deliVered the colours to the Rev. S. LAWRENCE, Curate of the ?arish, accompanied with a suitable address, By a Courier Extraordinary arrived at Berlin, it appears that a most serious commotion took place at Warsacw, upon the arrival of Prince SUBOFF.— This old favourite of GATHER 1.“.'II. having lately received -the ,Emperor's orders to quit Russia, in tended to fix his residence for some time at Warsaw. The Inhabitants, considering him the author and advi..lr of those unhappy events which terminated the political existence of Poland, expressed the ut most discontent at seeing him within their walls ; the people began to assemble and threaten his life ; the Prussian Governor was obliged to order out the troops, but fortunately, tranquillity has been re stored without bloodshed. The Governor, however, advised Prince Su uotiF 19 Tait the City, which he did the next day. ~~ _`~ u I.4VAL NEWS. PORTSMOUTH, JUNE 7.

On the 9th she fell in with the David Scott and Ceres, for China, all well, 40 leagues E. S. E. off Ascension. .We have the pleasure to add, that in the course of yesterday, Accounts were received at the India House, of the safe arrival off Portsmouth, "on the 6th inst. of the Rockingham and Worcester, from Bombay ; they left Sr. Helena, the 12th of April, and bring the following intelligence, viz :—Fort William and Airly Castle, sailed from St. Helena, the ri th of April ; the Lord flawkesbuty, and Phce nix, sailed from St. Helena, I zth of April ; the Henry Addington, Ocean, Nottingham, Carnatic, Hindostan, Hope, IJoddam, Lord Duncan, and three others, from China, left at St. Helena the i zth of April, to tail in two or three days after. The Hon. and Rev. Mr. WELLESLEY iS to have the Reaory of Stanford Rivers, and the Rev. Mr. DOWDESWELL that of Orsett, in Essex, vacant by Dr. BiAnoN's translation to the See of Bath and Wells ; his Lordship, as Bishop of GLOUCESTEL, held them both in commendam. Mr. KEMBLE sets off for the Continent as soon as Drury-Lane Theatre closes. He takes Paris in his route to Spain. Old Q. should pay more respe& to the Audience than to talk so loud at public places'as to interrupt the Performers. At least, if he claims the privi ; lege of Peerage on such occasions, he should not tolerate this prcaice in his French attendant. • We cannot but think it a great depravation of the public taste, as well as an obvious and de plorable relaxation of public morals, that so many Men should appear at the Masquerades attired as Women. The pradice appears to us- shockiog, and demanding the severest animadversions of decency and taste. Mrs. CoswAr perseveres in her plan of making Etchings from the grand collection of Pidures in the. National Gallery at Paris. What she has al. ready done displays an. uncommon degree of spirit and fijelity. The Work she has undertaken is stupendous indeed, but her goal for the Arts seems not likely to be tired in the pursuit. One of the most' mignificent literary produc tions which - has lately appeared, is the Celestial Atlas of M. BODE,. Member of the Royal Academy at• Berlin, and Professor of Astronomy. It has been published in that Capital in twenty large sheets, with a Catalogue of t 7,000 stars, a gteat part of which has been furnished him by LALA:i'DE, the celebrated French Astronomer. Nothing can exceed the present gozit of the Pari sians for every thing that is in the style of our Pub lic Gardens. Besides Tivoli, the Gardens of nits. cati, on the Boulevards, are remarkable for 'their elegance and simplicity. On one side of the great walk, are the busts of the French Poets, on the other, the busts of the English. A variety of small illuminated Temples are scattered about the gardens and form their principal ornaments. In the rooms are all kinds of refreshments, and Ices of most ex quisite quality. No money is paid for admission, and the company who frequent Frascati are of the best class. No kind of immoralities are permitted, and those Gardens are considered by the Fashion. ables, as their most agreeable resort. Frascati is, notwithstanding, not a quarter so lap as our Vaux hall. The following most extraordinary circumstance occurred early on Thursday morning, at the Grapes Ta:ern, in Cable-street, Liverpool A young gentleman (under the influence of a dream, in which he supposed a person was pursuing him with a pistol) left his bed in a chamber of the middle story, and aftually forced the lock of a door, to attain the attic floor, which, when he had effeded, he opened the up. per sash, and tlirew himself into the street. In falling, his shirt caught the projecting grapes, and forced them down with him. This considerably broke his NI, insomuch that he lit upon his heels ; and strange to tell, received no bodily injury whatever—not even the slightest scar. It will be recorded as an almost incredible wonder, that after rising from bed, forcing the lock of a door, and filling from a window of three stories, the horror of the dream had not left him, as', on being interrogated by a watchman—" In the name of God, what is the matter P' he exclaimed, 4 . 1 A villain wants to shoot me 1" FROM T.LIE FIiENJIPP.!PERS.
