Yesterday two battalions of the Parisian guard arrived here, which, it is said, will form the garrison of this city. The Minister of State, Count SCHULENBERG, arrived . here from Dantzic last week.' Accounts from Col berg, 'of the 14th, state that the neighbourhood of that town is inundated. There arrive here daily some of the Foreign Ministers which resided at Warsaw : the Turkish . and,Persian Ambassadors are also expelled. The passage of couriers through Serlin is very quick. sometimes twelve pass in the 'course of one day ; the greater part come from the Imperial Head-quavers.— (L' Abeille du Word). Fitotittlgas or IThLY, MARCH 6.---The greater part,of the French troops intended for the Turkish expedition have been assembled since the 15th of February. in the Venetian Territory. Some detach 4zetits have set out for Istria and Dalmatia, where they will go into cantonments until the arrival of the remainder of the army. The Court' of Vienna gtanted witbOut hesitation a passage through 'its ter .ritory to these troops .; they take the usual route, which passes within a quarter of a league of Trieste. ----It is said that Marshal BRUNE has been mated by the Emperor, Commander in Chief of this army, which already consists of 40,000 men, and will, as we are informed, be augmented to 50,600, by means of the reinforcements which are on their march as well from the departments of France as front - the Kingdom of Naples.—Tlie French troops which are already in Dalmatia, under the orders of Celt. Litr xtsroN, will preserve their particular destination, and will not be united to the expeditionary army.

ST. PETEESSURGH, Fzu. 28.—0 n the 22d of Fe bruary, at eleven o'clock at night, M. DE NovosiLT ZOE7 set out for the Army. The mission: is sup posed to be of a pacific nature. Lieutenant-Gene ral Prince BAGRATHION arrived here on the 22d from the Army, and left town on his return thi ther on the 26th.--(llamburgh Correspondenten, 27th March.) VIENNA, MARCH 14.- According to letters from Malta, of the end of February, an English Fleet of five Sail of the Line is arrived there, under the or ders of Admiral DUCKWORTH. Sir SIDNEY SMITH commands one of the Ships.—(Hamburgh Cor respowlenten, March 27 .) The Hanging Committee, it seems, met yester day at the Royal Academy, for the purpose of raising a sca f fold, in order to exalt a great number of Heads, and vast crowds are expeEted to attend the execution. We are sorry •to learn that Mr. OPIE died this rooming. He had just reached the 45th year of his age. The Arts of this Country have thus lost one of its brightest ornaments, a man of original ge tius, of a vigorous and comprehensive mind, and a respeaable member of society in private life.. OpIE may, in a great degree, be considered as a vietim to his art, from which hardly any thing °uld divert his attention. He had just finished 40 Tue walks which do honour to his genius, and he Was anxious that they should appear at the ensuing /:Xhibition. His exertion, therefore, to get them ready in time, doubtless contributed to increase the 11l state of health of which symptoms had previously appeared. Th e junior branches of the Royal Family have, we understand, liberally contributed towards a pro °i for the daughters of the late Mr. CRAMER, SO e4 g an ornament to the musical world, but who w ag t.

The SOLICITOR GENERAL, stated the Proceedings that had been had in this Caukie, and added, that the reference to the Master was to Mr. Cox, and it was de . sired, that Master Hervey might be substituted for that Gentleman, as he was intimately acquainted with the transaEtions. It was also sought, that Mr. Coul thurst, the attorney who had been employed, should be examined, touching monies received for the. De fendants ; and that an action at law, commenced by Mr. Coulthurst, in the Court of Common Pleas, to. enforce the payment of his bill of costs, arnounting . to 20001. should be stayed: Mr. HART objected to this Motion. He said that his client, Mr. Coulthurst, had delivered his bill as early as November last, for costs since the year 1797. . The Defendants, in resped to the amount of them, had agreed to refer the taxation to Messrs. Wainwright arid Hall, two of the Clerks of the Court; and the sub jeft of the suit was the sum stated to be due by such ' reference. Mr.Coulthurst was far from being disposed to shrink from inquiry, and would submit to any exa minations touching his receipts for account of the De fendants. Neither had he any objeCtion to the sub stitution of Master Harvey for. Master Cox. Certain Bills had been offered in . payment of the costs, dated at a months; if such Bills were delivered to Mr. Coul: thurst, there would be no objection to stay proceed ings at lAw. Mr. Temple had been arrested as he was taking ship to proceed to the Coast of Malabar. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL. —" I presume the par ties will be ready to deliver the Bills in payment."' Lord ELDON.—" Mr. Conti harSt . consenting, let him be .examined upon the interrogatories : the ac count to be taken before Master Hervey, and the costs of this application to abide the Court. Mr. Hart's client to have the costs of the action at law." The tide 0( success which HORNSBY and Co. met, with in the last Lottery, in sharing Forty-five Capital Prizes, has given a strong predilection in their favour. The demand at their Offices for Tickets and Shires in the present Lottery far ex ceeds their most sanguine expeaations. HORNSBY and Co. hope to gratify their friends on the ensuing occasion (next 'Tuesday), supplying them with 20,0001.'s 10,0001,'5, 5,0001.'5, I,oooL's, and 5001.'5, at 2t3, Carahill, 52, Charing-Cross, and St. Margaret's-Hill, Boo*. 730XIA T G. • The, exhibition be; weed \tql 1 once enjoyed , the enviable title of Ch::n . :T a i'. - 1 - 1 Of England) and Crib to)k - place. yestetdayat I\4„.eul sey Hirst ; opposite Hampton, fora stake of .400 gil;neas.

Crib, who is, by way iif distinEtion, elegantly termed the Blatk Thum; nd, haS but bumble preten siens to the chara&er of a Skilful boxer ; but he poSsesses those qualities, with relefence to his method of fighting, which entitle him to a place about third on the list of the bruiiers of the present day. He has successfully opposed - Wake, jfaddox, arid several Others of second-rate, but be was obliged lo yield the palm of Victory to Nichols, a Brist(il Lad, two years since, whoni'Belcher once beat. Crib is ne vertheless considered by the cognoscenti a safe man to back, for he is, technically speaking, the com plete gliriton, and never yields until nature obliges him. The mode of fighting he has unitimnly adopt ed has been that of falling back, in order that his ad.. versa might follow him, and it is by perseverance in this retreating system,' ttat Crib fights at home, for those who exhaust themselves in ptirsaing him, generally get punished. He, is a slow hitter'; but, Co perle& kiln in the science of boxing, Capt. B. And Bill Ward have frequently sparred with him since lie has been in training, rind he had evidently pro fited by their instrutitons. At eleven o'cloCk yes:. terday Hampton was filk-11 with the amateurs, and at twelve o'clock the candidates for their" diversion entered a I,ro-feet roped ,ring, - encircled by one of very large dimensions'.

The following original Letter from, this extraor dinary genial is given as authentic by Mr. Woof., the liberal and learned' biographer of the late Dr. JOSEPLI.WAkTON The letter_ is very curious, inas much as it thews what a remarkable revolution took place in the mind and temper of the Author.. When the letter was written it is evident that he who -af terwards prOved such: a surly Misanthrope was once susceptible of the most amiable feelings, since he manifested so strong an interest ,respeCting the me mory - of a lady not distinguished by rank and fortune, but knowq to live .only by the pi ivate me" rits of het charaaer, and the distress to which she was reduced. It may therefore - be inferred, that however saturnine, coare, and violent the Dean af terwards became, be was rendered so chiefly by his long experience of the artifice,- seltisbness, and de pravity of mankird. DEA.N SWI,FT Lona:Al, 26, 1711 " SIR, " That you may not be surprised with. a letter from a person utterly unknown to you, I will imme diately tell you the; occasion-of 'it.' The Lady who lived - near two years in your neighbourhood, and whom you were so kind sometimes to visit, under the name of Mrs. Smyth, was. Mrs. Ann Long, sister to Sir James Long, 'and niece of Colonel Sirang -, ,i.qtys: She was of as good a private family as most in Etw land, and had every valuable Inality of body :Ind mind that could make a lady loved and esieemed ; accordingly she was always . •alt.ted hereabove most iolher sex,. and by the Most distinguished persons. But by the unkindness of her friends. and the, gene rosity • of her own nature, and depending-upon the death of a very old grandmother,' which did not hap pen till it was too late; she contraaed some debts t hat made her uneasy here, and,.in order to clear them, was content to retire unknown to your town, where I fear her death has been hastened by melancholy, and perhaps the want of such assistance as she might have found .here., " I thought fit to signify this to you, partly to let, you know how valuable a person you have lost ; 'but chiefly to deSire that you will . please to bury her in some part of your church, near a wall, where 'a plain marble stone may he fixed, as a poor monument for one who deserved so well, and which, if God sends me life, I hope one day to place there, if nu o: her of her friends will think fit to do it. I had the honour of an, intimate acquaintance with her, and was never so sensibly touched with any one's death as . with hers ; neither didi. ever know a person of either sex, with more virtues or fewer infirmities the only one she had, whiCh was the negled of her own iii 7 fars, arising wholly from the goodness of her tem per. I write not thit .to you at all as a secret., bet am content your town' shotild know IA hat an excel lent pers'on they have had among them. If you visited her any short time before her deadr„or know any particulars about it, or of the state of her mind, Or the nature of her disease,' I beg you will hi; so obliging as to inform the ;' for the let ter we have seen from her poor maid is so' im perfed, by her grief fthe death of SO good a lady, that.it.only tells the time cf her .death and your letter may &you please be directed to Dr. SWilt, and put wider a cover, which cover may be diredted:to Erasmus Lewis, Esq. at the Earl of Dartthouth's Office, at, Whitehall. I hope - you Will forgive this trouble for the occasion of it, and give some allowances to so great a loss, not only to me, but to all who have any regard for every perfeetion that human nature can possess and if in any way I can serve or oblige you, I shall be glad of an c.Tportunity of obeying your com mands. . . . .
