THE SUN. 601.1 M QUIS DICZRI VALiut.i AuDIAT ? LONDON, JANUARY 2, 1802. THIS morning arrived the liambursh Mail due on Wednesday last. Its contents, not very impor_ tant, will be foupd in a subsequent Column. The FIEREDITARY PRINCE Of BADEN) died on the t6th ult. in consequence of having been overturned in his carriage. ME French Papers which we received yester day, detail no events of - immediate importance: The discussions on the various setions of the Civil Code are continued with much temper and sobriety, but the Tribunes of France are no longer distinguished by that vigorous eloquence which rendered the proceedings of the Constituent Assembly so deservedly interesting in the annals of Legislation, It ,is an easier, and perhaps a more popular work, to destroy a.building erenecl by the progressive wisdom and experience of ages, than to form a finished model, from the labour of a few weeks. There is, however, one leading feature in the charaaer of the present Legislators of France, which, if they steadily adhere to, will give them; decided superiority over all the talents and rhetorical powers of their predecessors. It is this— r they are unwilling to depart from the beaten road of an enlightened experience. If, unhappily for their country, they should forget this principle ; if to gratify personal vani,ty, they should again embark on the vast ocean of Chimera, they must expect to make shipwreck, and to revive those days of sorrow and vice, which have so cruelly visited their dis tra4ed Country. It shall be .our business to anal)* the different Systems of Legislation'aS they may be successively proposed, and" . to submit to. the Public such animad_ versions as their nature and.tendency may require. h The only article worthy of notice upon this sub jeEt, is the adoption of the Projet for a prolongation of the punishment of Death - in cases of egregious of fence against Public Order. This point was de cided in the Sitting- of the Tribunate on thG 25th ult. by 71 votes against to. The Preliminaries of Peace have already proved highly advantageous to the Turkish Empire.— PAsswArr Oci.,ou has been deseFted by many of his adherents, and the diminishing number of his forces gives every reason to hope, that the mutinous spirit which 10 long convulsed Turkey will be com pletely suppressed. In Botany Bay, the restless genius of Insubordi nation has also manifested itself. But this temper, as well as the unruly spirit which is said to have broken out in the West Indies, must be regarded rather as the rolling of the waves after a long and severe storm, than as any evidence of a pre-deter mined attempt at change. Our Readers will per ceive, from a perusal of the vigorous yroelamation which has been issued by, the Government of that Colony, that the most decisive measures have been adopted to prevent a repetition of thcse disgraceful scenes of turbulence. . L • K , • s A Council of His Mk; EsTy's. Ministers was yes terday held at Lord HAwxEsßuity' s Office; at which most of the Members of Administration at tended. The PRINCE of WALES, who was prevented by illness from visiting the ROYAL FAMILY at Windsor the j)eginning of this weel ( , i s su ff ic i ent l y recovered to go abroad and dine with his friends. Hi's Royal Highness dined on Wednesday at the Duke of QUEENSBERRY'S. Mr. PITT left Lord HAWKESB\IR Y'S Seat at Roehampton, near Wimbledon Common, On Thurs day, for Mr. LoNo's, at Bromley Hill; 'and' yes terday set off for Earl CAMDEN'S, -at his residence in the Wilderness, Kent. Lady JANE DUNDAS, comes to 'Town on Wed. nesday from Melville Castle, -in SotlantL Her Ladyship will afterwards accompany Mr. DuNDAs to Bath. The PRINCE of ORANGE,' the F.x,Stadtholder of Holland, accompanied by his Son the HEREDITARY PRINCE, and a smalf-Suite, is at length arrived in his Principality of Nassau, where he has been very well received. They lodge at ,the houses of several individuals, until the Castle, which is preparing, shall be ready for their reception. Since the cele 7 braced WILLIAM the First, •Prince of Orange, ‘vho assisted the 'Dutch to shake off the Spanish yoke, the Princes have never administered their German States in person. Private advices from Paris mention, that Ge- ['era's MASSE NA, AMOER EAU, LANNES, and BERNADOTTE, have reciprocally agreed not to accept any place under BoNA PASO:E. ATIS SENA will not go to Constantinople; nor LANNEs to Portugal. BERNADOTTEJ _N7hO - was the tars Commandant of the Division, of Brest, is of , fended at not having had the Command of the Ex_ pcdition to St. Domingo, as it had been promised to him. He had the mortification to see the very ' troops which he commanded, and which he had tritined for sp many months, passing under the command of another. NAP'/IL NEWS.

The first division marched yesterday morning ;_ the second were to set out this day ; and the third on Monday. They will arrive in Town on Monciap Tuesday, and Tbursday next—part of them are to go into Portman Bar r racks, the remainder into quarters in the Holborn division, at present occupied by four Companies of the id Battalion—of the 3d Regiment, who go over to the Borough to be quartered.• " The Lords of the Admiralty 'have sent orders to the several ports, for an immediate redudion to take place in the consumption of fresh beef on beard ail His Majesty's Ships employed on home service ;, and for substituting salt provisions in part, with flour, suet, and raisins, in the usual proportions, By this regulation, the several crews,durtng the short time they are-to be continued in service, are to receive flesh beef only two days in a week, instead of four, as has lately been the praftice: In issuing this order, the Admiralty have a double objet in view.. In the first place, a material saving will arise to the Public in the diminished purchases of beef, the Government Stores containing at present a sufficient qyantity of salt provisions to answer every possible demand for a considerable length of time ; and in the second place, our markets will not fail to experience the beneficial effeets of the measure, from the purchases of fresh beef for the Navy being at once diminished a full half.

The folldwing gun-boats were also sold as unserviceable : viz. William, Fowej, Success, Brothers, Forrester, anal Al* vhil/A.9,m . • A very extraordinary circumstance has occurred in a Northern county, which forms a great topic of conversation at present :--Several years ago Mr. the only son of a Gentlem i ln of consi derable landed property, in consequencf of repeated imprudences, had the misfortuneentirely to alienate .the afFdtions of .his father. His distresses accu, I and hia - aPplications r e d ou bl e d for relief ; ihltlC•but e:eraventie Was choaked up to tenderness and forgiveness, and tli 'unfortunate young man was abandoned by a rigorous parent to the severity of his fate. At last, 'broken-hearted With remorse, distress and despair, he fell into a dangerous illness, during which he was frequently visited by some members of the family till he expired and was, bu ried. So at least those persons believed, and be lieved they had seen so. The whole, however;-or at least the consummation of this extraordinary scene, was a delusion.. Mr. H. whether 41 the hope that his father, appeased and mollified by this dreadful catastrophe, might be induced to pay his creditors, or plainly perceiving that he had no other prospect of avoiding being disinherited by his unrelenting father, had had recourse to the strata-' gem we have described. 'As soon as the funeral was over, in whichhe perforhied so.signal a charac ter, he withdrew tq the Continent, where, amongst the several adventures that befel him, it is said. poverty or some other misfortune concluded him into the Quicksilvei-mines of Hungary, from which .misery so rarely returns to the sight of the sun. Mr. H. however, had very lately the good for tune to cad, by some method, of which we are uninformed, his liberation from so horrible a pri. son, and is returned, after a long absence, to this Kingdom. Finding his father had died in the in terval, and that his three sisters were, as heirs at law, in possession of the estate, he is now rejoicing in the success ofhis policy, and claims an immense property, which can only be contested by disputing the identity of his person, of %% hid), however, per sons of great rank and integrity are thoroughly satisfied. This Gentleman, we understand to have formerly cut a very dist iimuished figure in the bean monde, and to have led the tan of whim and fashion able dissipation. On Monday the 7th ult. six Colliers went into a coal-pit near chesterfield, Derbyshire, in order to have worked therein, when the inflammable air (which had collthed since the day but orie before) took tire with a great explosion, by which means three of the men were so shockingly burned, that two of them are since dead, notwithstanding every rtedical assistance was giirn them.

THE place in the Marine Council, which was re. fused by Admiral lilsticsp ERG aN, who is resolved to live in retirement in his native town of Elburgh, in Guelderland, has been given by the Direaory to Citizen AENAC, Marine Commissary at Amster dam, where, before the Revolution of 1787, he was Professor of Commercial and Naval Science.— He will not, however, have the principal direftion of the Marine as President, as Admiral Kt NQSBE I L. GEN would have had, but is called the Thirel Mem ber of the Marine Council. The two other Members are the Ex-Legislator Van RooyAN, late Redor of the Latin School at Middleburg, and Citizen JACOBSEN, late Commissary at Amsterdam, Citizen Vos Van SLEINNYK is appointed Gene. ral Treasurer ; and the place which he before held in the Council of Finance, has been given to zen 'Van de CASTICLE, of Haerlem. Our five • Councils of Administration are now all filled, and in complete aetivity, viz, the Councils of Marine, of Wm', of Finance, for the Interior, and for Foreign Colonies. . The 4th Department, viz, the Department for Foreign Affairs, has no resemblance to the other - councils, as it is entirely under the direlion of the Secretary ofState Van deb aOg's. AU the Members of our pi r eoory ; Le. zi§latitT and. Synclicgc, are aT4O appointed, and nothing remains to complete our Administraf tion, but, to fill two places in the superior National Cogrt of Justice.

The circumstance of the LORD MAYOR having imposed upon himself the penalty of Five•Shillingli • for his Servants negleding to sweep before his, door, has been mentionedin the French Papers io a manner highly flattering to his Lordship. Thin is the first instance, we believe, since the Revolu• tion in France, of a compliment being paid by flog,. Nation to any Chief. Magistrate of the City 0 1 London ; and it cannot fail to gratify the feeling of Englishmen to learn, that an eventwhich, among them, is considered as ail aft of mere justice, 5h,;(3 14 , in France be looked on .as 'a , prodigious effort 0 magnanimity and patriotism.
