YARMOUni, Y 8. Wednesday last being appointed for the public reading His Majesty's Proclamation in this Town, the morning was ushered in by the usual demonstra tions of joy. A little before noon, the Mayor and, Corpora tion, attended by the Troop of Volunteer Cavalry, and the two Companies of Volunteer Infantry, proceeded round the Town, and read the Proclaim non in several different parts, amidst that accla mation of all descriptions of people which so joyful an event must naturally excite. Immediately after the Procession, the Mayor gave an elegant collation. In the afternoon SAMUEL PA.CEI, jun. Esq. Cap tain of the VI Coriiparly of Volunteer. Infantry, gave a most handsome dinner to the Officers and Volunteers of his Company, to which the Mayor and several principal Inhabitants were invited ; af ter dinner many loyal and appropriate toasts were given, and songs sung, and the afternoon and even_ ing spent with the utmost conviviality and liar- Mony._ In the evening a,gene'ral Illumination took place, and several good Transparencies were exhibited ; the Town Hall was decorated with an elegant G.R. in coloured lamps, and a profuse .brilliancy of can dles.—No accident, nor aoy circumstance whatever happened in the course of the day or evening to give the smallest alloy to the satisfaction and plea slue which every one must feel in the celebration of the happy return of Peace. COUNTRY NEWS. NEWCASTLE, MAY S. On Friday se'nnight, as 'Mr. Harrison, surgeon in Winlaton, was returning from Gateshead, his house took fright at the end of the New Bridge at Swalwell, and suddenly raising his fore-feet upon the battlement, Mr. Harrison was in .a moment precipitated over the same : Falling among a quan tity of gravel below, he was bruised in a most dreadful manner : Medical assistance, was inamt diately procured ;. and, we are happy to learn, hones are entertained of his recovery. On Monday, Robert Moore, a driver of one of the Shields Coaches, was committed to Newgate, for driving his coach over the body of a female child on Shields-road, by which the child was killed on the spot ;_ the Coroner's Inquest returneda vetch& ot—Mafi-slaughter. On Sunday last, about mid-day, the sloop Janet, or Alloa, Thompson master, from Alemouth, with grain fur Alloa, as she was working up Firth, struck on the rocks called Oxears, near Inch Cohn, where she now lies considerably damaged, with the water ebbing and flowing into her. The grain has been all taken our, and put on board a lighter, but very much damaged with salt water ; and the yes. sel, if the, weather continues moderate, it is ex pelled, will be got off. 13RISTOL, APRIL 28. . On Monday se'nnight an inquisition was taken before Mr. Morgan, Coroner, at the town of Pon_ tipool, in Monmouthshire, on the body of John Saunders, blacksmith, of that place, when, dread ful to relate ! the Jury, after a minute investiga tion, returned a verdift of Wilful Murder against William Saunders, the father of the deceased, who is committed to Monmouth gaol, to take his trial at the next Assize. His death was occasioned by the firing of a gun at him, loaded with powder and Allot, on the preceding Saturday night about nine o'clock, as he was returning home from market, within a few yards of his fathei's door, where he was found on the ground in the agonies of death, in a few minutes after, the whole charge having pene trated one side of his chest and lungs ; the report of the gun being heard all througirthe town, caused universal alarm. It appeared, that they had lived in enmity for some time, and that the father h d kept a gun loaded in his house, for the diabolical purpose, for hear a fortnight past, which was soon after on search fnind above stairs newly discharged. The father declared, that the unfortunate young man had not said any thing to him on that day.— He has left a wife and four young children, wholly dependent on his daily labour, to lament the irre parable loss of a most tender husband, and a fond parent. We are informed, that on Friday next William Badger will be executed, pursuant to his sentence at our last Assizes, for.uttering a note knowing it to be forged. The 'principal inhabitants of Newton St. Cyres, near 'Exeter, celebrated the return of Peace by giving a dinner to all the inhabitants.--rBOO weight of roast 'beef, 40, plumb puddings, eight hogsheads of cider, four of beer, twelve gallons of spirits, &c. &c. were provided on the occasion.—Three hundred persons sat down to dinner, and as many more partook of this old English fare. In the evening, fireworks, and other.emblems of joy were displayed through the whole parish. _ Account of the number of Broad and Narrow Cloth's milled in the West-Riding of Yorkshire, for the last twelve months': BROAD CLATPIS.

SEEDS. OLD BAILEY. TENTH DAY.---MONDAY, !IAI IC). AFTER some unimportant business was disposed of, the Court proceeded to pronounce Judgment upon such Prisoners as had- been conviaed in the course of the Session, viz. SENTENCE OF DEATH upon the following capital Convids—llenry Cock, John Findlay, Edward Hartright, for forgery; John Beasley, Samuel Clark, for burglary ; Joseph Ralph, job!: Harris, for highway robbery ; Tho mas Davis and Catheriue,..Birk, for stealing in a dwellingJiouse. ;." Henry Cock, conviaed of forgery on the Bank of England, in a most respedful and impressive manner solicited the indulgence of the Court, before the dreadful sentence of the law was pronOunced. He stated, that he considered it due to the humanity of the Court and Jury who tried him, to acknowledge the justice of the •verdift ; and he also felt it to be due to himself to declare, that so far from intending to defraud any person, he had always meant to ac- • count to the Executors of Mr. STORY (who had been his relation and patron), for the "money he had per verted. And that his ability corresponded with his intention, was evident, by the offer of the 70001. being made to the Bank on his apprehension. That such an offer had been made,was to him, and he trusted to the last moment of his existence would be, a source of _consolation ,and comfort. He concluded with respectfully calling to his-Lordship's ( the RECORDER, who was not present at the trial) attention, the charatier he had maintained in society. Of the inferior Convids forty-five were sentenced to Seven years Transportation, three (for receiv ing) were adjudged to Fourteen years Transporta tion, Six to One years Imprisonment, and the re maining Convits to lesser punishments, which con cluded the business of the Session. AFFECTING ANECDOIE OF THE LATE STANISLAUS AUGUSTUS, KING ofPOL AYD, FROM THE NEW EDITION OF COWS TRAVELS IN POLAND, RUSSIA, SWEDEN, AND DENMARK, VOL. I. P. 173. "Os this occasion I cannot omit adding an interest_ ing Anecdote, which delicacy prevented me from disclosing during the lives of the persons to whom it relates, as it displays the extreme sensibility of the King, and the restraint under which he labour- • ed in the presence of the Russian Ambassador. cc The King having condescended to spew us his villa, as he was concluding us through the up. per suite of apartments, in company with Count Stackelberg, I noticed a book on the Library table, which contained the principal docdments on the Partition of Poland *. Expressing my curiosity to examine a publication on that interesting event, and addressing myself to His Majesty in English, the King interrupted me by placing his finger on his lips, as an indication of silence, and passed into another apartment. At the conclusion of supper, one of His Majesty's Officers conducted me to the door of the Library. On entering, found the 'King alone, standing by the side of the table—" I observed," said he, pointing to the book, " that you testified great curiosity to examine this work : the abrupt manner in which I interrupted your in quiries might perhaps appear rude : but I was un willing to converse on the subjet before the Rus iian Ambassador." He then, in an afilaing tone of voice, and an animated strain of eloquence, ad. verted to the menaces of the Prussian, Austrian, and Russian Courts. " If I had time (he said) to expatiate on the se cret history of that eventful period, and could de scribe the menaces of the Russian Ambassador, the personal mortifications which I endured, and toe certainty of involving my family in ruin - , if I had refused, my signature, it would perhaps extenuate my apparent want of firmness, which has been so Much - calumniated. This book contains the princi. pal documents relative to that unfortunate transac tion,,anal is the only justification of my condu&.— You will find therein the declarations of the Mini_ sters of the three Powers, the answers of. the Polish Ministers,• and the foUr speeches which I addressed to the Diet, in which you will perceive that I did not conceal my seritiments, and that I openly testi fied my repugnance to the aft of dismemberment." He then , recapitulated the heads of his celebrated Speech on the loth of May. He dwelt with pecu. liar emphasicon that part where he appealed to the Nation at large, if he had ever broken a single ar ticle of the Paaa Conventa. " I demand of you, with the confidence of the Prophet, my people, what have I done? Behold here I am, witness against me; Whose ox have I taken, or Whom have I de frauded ? Whom have I oppressed, or of whose hand have received any bribe to blind mine eyes, and I Will restore it to you ?"—Here he added, " I sat down, and had I been guilty of oppression or fraud, doubtless numbers would have accused me ; for I,was without support, and almost without a single friend to speak in my favour. A dead silence for more than ten minutes ensued—l then rose again and concluded my, justification." " During this scene, the violence of his emotions almost stifled his voice, and tears streamed down his cheeks. Hastily taking up the book, he put it into my hands; adding, " This is my only apology; read it, and judge of my conduit ; and I am happy in presenting it to an Englishman whom I esteem."
