MONTHLY Ad i?!CdITUR.Ii . REPORT. THE season fur reaping and harvesting the Crain crops has still continued unusually fine and fa ,vourable, so much so, indyd; that even in the most North at Distrids the H a rvest is in a consi derably more advanced state than is usual ar this period. We have likewise the most pleasing ac counts of the, goodness,and the abundance of most of . die Grai o - c t o p s i n t h ose p l aces , so ,that 'tote Harvest of this year maybe said to have been ge nerally favourable over the whole Kingdom. TII7 Barley-craps Hampshire . and Wittshire haVe been est i ma t e d at seven quarters per acre. The prices of Wheat and Bariry are on the decline, but that of Oats in)re try. The Pormoe-crops, where they, have been taken up, turn our better in quality and more abundant than' has been the case fur set eral years past., The long-continued dry weather has - been rather unfavourable fur ' the Turnip_crops,,especially on the very dry soils.— The • Pea aid Bean-crops have not, in some places, nulled out so good a sample as was cxpeded, on being threshed our. The gras:i_larlds in the more de., vated sitimtions, have been greatly injured by the heat and dryness of the season ; but in the low and more moist places, they are in general very good and full for this state of the year. Hops are in -ge neral; we believe, a very indifferent crop. Apples ate this year a very partial crop. In addition to the favourableness of the season, f o r the por..• poses of harvesting the Corn-crops, it has af forded, an excellent opportunity . for preparing the lanchAniended for tvhear, and in many distrids very-extensive tray s have been made ready, in the most perfect manner, for the reception of seed. In spine places, it has been Observed, that a new spe cies of insed has been committing much mischief on t'he young plantations of firs, by eating out the.pith of the latter shoots, leaving the tender branch a mere excavated tube, which soon afterwards is seen to droop its head aria-die.

EXTRACT OF A LET'T'ER FROM PARIS,' sEtt. ANNIVERSARY Or Trit FOUNPATION OF ilia FRENCH REPUBLIC. • • " The celebration of this memorable event may be said to have 'commenced with the evening of the lastof the five Complementary Days, on which, as, being the eve of the New Tear, conformably to the modern French Kalendar, the Theatres were opened gratis for all ranks and descriptions of people. You Would be surprised at the eagerness with which, not only the poorer classes, but even persor3 in easy circumstances, avail themselves of• this indulgence. Every one of the , Public Theatres was literally crowded to overflow in every part—not one.half of the multitude could obtain seats ; 'and it was not • a little diverting to see the motley groupe which filled the different houses on this occasion, The Side and Stage Boxes presented.a most'singular and incongruous appearance (perfectly analogous with that unhallowed, system, which levels and lays prostrate all those distindions and gradations. it? Social Life—all those necessary links of subordina tion, on which the harmony and. due concordance of the whole depend), being filled with the very refuse of the Capital, with fish women, oyster_ wenches, grooms, porters, barbers—in short, with the very lowest orders of the Community. Some had not even a coat to their back ; others were without stockings, - and not a few of the women made the house ring, as they paced the lobbies, with their ponderous wooden shoes. I assure you, I am not drawing an exaggerated pielure ; but, ,)n the contrary, keep considerably below the mark. ' A discharge of artillery, at six o'clock in the 'morning, announced the return of the day on which the ancient French Monarchy,- which had stood the test of ages, was ;wbverted, and the Nation decreed a Republic One and Indivisible. The Thuilleries and Lis Champs Elyse'e's were filled till dinner time, with a motley- assemblage, who diverted . theMselves with dancing. In addition to this amusement, a troop of. Horsemen performed various feats of horseman ship, much in the style of AsTLEY'S Company, or the heroes of the Circus, Sadler's Wells, &c. In the course of the morning, the Ft asT CoNsuL gave audience to the Legislative Bodies, the great Of. fleets of State, &c. ; the Consular Guard, in the mean time; going 'through their exercise in the front of the LoUvre. In passing through a passage which leads from the Palace to the Thuilleries, I had an opportunity of perceiving, that the genteel profession of Pia-tockettillgi is not confined to our Country, but that it thrives equally in France, notwithstanding the vigilance and rigour of the Po lice. Several persons were hustled and plundered by a gang, who posted themselves at the top of a stair-case, which you have to descend, after the _plan of the passage to the Pit in the Haymarket Theatre, in your way to the Thuilleries. One of these fellows made a daring attempt at my watch ; but, luckily, it was too ,strongly entrenched in the fob (thanks to the present fashion of having the waistband of the small-cloatha tb reach -almost to the very armpits) to yield to his grasp. -An Eng lish Gentleman who accompanied me, and 'who witnessed the transadion, wanted me to have. the fellow taken up; but I was unwilling, as a fo reigner, to render myself conspicuous, and there fore contented myself' With thrysting the end of a .piece of good old English Oak, which I brought with me, " in manner not the softest," against .his ribs. This was a topical application, which did not seem to hit his liking, and' my spat*, accord. ingly sheered off. " Towards five in the afternoon, the concourse of people rushing from all quarters to . the . Thai/le - ries, Was so prodigious, that you would ha ve supposed a general4migration to be taking place. By the time I reached the Gardens, which was a 'quarter before six ; they were so excessively crowded, that I could scarcely move along. At six, another discharge of artillery announced the commencement ' of the evening's. festivities. In an instant, the whole extensive range of Space from ,the Louivre to the ut= most bound -of the horizon, comprising a greater compass of ground than the combined dimensions of St. James's, Hyde Park; and Kensington Gardens, presented one continued blaze of light. For this - purpose, they do . not make use of lamps, after the English fashion, but employ a kind of earthen ves sel, not unlike in shape, but rather smaller, than .the parr of a common' garden pot: This is filled, with tallow, and yields a very strong and steady light. Booths were ere led, at stated distances, in Les . Champs Elyse'es, for the - accommodation of the Dancers. In those where- refreshments were pro. vided, .you paid 8 sots, or 4 pence English for ad mission. Independent of these booth's, seats and tables were placed out, in suitable situations, for parties to regale themselves. "Atnonithe principal diversi ons o f t l, e even i ng , I noticed a couple. of Round-a-bouts, a species of amusement well known to the good Holiday Folks of London, but more especially to the frequenters of Bqrshclomeal Fair. The only difference 'be tween our English Round-a-bouts and those of Paris, consists in , this ; that with us they form the diver sion of Children—bere, on the contrary, persons of adult years amuse themselves in this trimmer, An. other distithion, which I ought not to : pass over, is,. that the Ladies, as well as the Gentlemen, hold a short stick in their hands, with whiCh they make a pass, as they circumvolve, at a ring suspended from a board, on which the Proprietor (dale Round. . 14j u Cy. a-bciit keeps an aclottnt of the suee , etl, as :well sitive as negative, of , each adventurer. • This, I suppose, is a relic from the an-::ient 'days of Chi valty, .and - 'has a ieference to the custom then in vogiie, of running With the ldnce, at a ring. Be this, however, as i,t may, I cannot but feel the more surprized, that the French Journalists should ,take the opportunity, as they have done, within thit last week or ten days, of inveighing Yso bit terly against Our English diversiOns,.and partial_ larry ridiculing as puerile, - and unworthy a Civili zed Nation,:.the amusements of . Bartholomew Fair, at the very time ,that they tolerate and encourage such pastimes among themseLves. Methinks, in, this respea,- they would do well to reserve their. pity for their own wants,• or at least, let it, like Charity—b eg i, r at haNze ." The feats of Hnrsetrianship which took plate in the morning; Were repeated in the eirehing': the ring being lighted up with lamps, and king tound with colutirS, encircled with garlands: A couple of Mountebanks, each attended by his Fool, and striving to outbawl each Other in the Sale of their Nostrums, afforded me peculiar diversion. T o judge from thei r professions, you would pronounce every man guilty of Suidele, that should suffer Death to get the better of him, when he might ob tain a remedy for every possible disease, a salve for every "sore, and, in fad, render himself immortal for the trifling expence of three-perice. Another ingenious Adventurer contrived to pick up a- good round sum in half_pence, by the exhibition of a Weighing Chair, in which Ladies in a certain. pre dicament, were very eager to place themselves ; the Prpprietor of the Chair pretending to be able, from their comparative increase, in weight, conneded with time, and other local circumstances, to pre_ did the Sex of their future offspring, which he very mysteriously Whispered in their ear. You would be surprized at the number of females, and many of them. Ladies of respettability, who had recourse to his chair ; and the eagerness with which_ their husbands, • after the performance of the ceremony, desired to be informed of the Oracle's predidion. " At eight o'clock a Concert was performed, a stage being erefted for that purpose - o.n the Terrace of the. Palais du Gouvernement. This lasted an hour, and at nine Fireworks were 'let off from. the Pont: de la Concorde, -which terminated the Fite.--7 From the preparations which had been made, I must confess, they did not answer my expeftation, being much shorter in point of duration than I was led to anticipate ; they were, however, very bril liant and well-conduded.. As soon as the Fire works ceased, the populace began to disperse, and the whole Ceremony (notwithstanding the immense concourse of people assembled on the occasion, PC cetding any thing of the kind I ever witnessed), passed over without the slightest accident; nay, whae gave me still greater surprize, without a single dispute taking place. Another thing wor thy of remark is, that thrdughout the whole of ;he day, from the beginning' to the conclusion of the Nte, I-did not meet with a single person in liquor: It is, however, proper tht I should observe, that the preservation of good older, on these occasions, is, in a principal measure, owing to the present-' being a Military. Government. Patroles of Horse. parade4l Les Champs 1..-1, -rtes all the evening but the French, instead of considering this, as John Bull, in his' surly moments would clO,' as an en croachment upon the Constitution, -only look at the trappingS of " the horse and his , Rider," and deem it an-addition to the splendour of the scene.— The" fad is, the French carry swith them / the main ingredient towards being pleased, i, e. a sincere wish and determination to be so—whereas, John Bull is of a more difficult and less accommodating temper. . _ _ I Met in my . . walks this evening several .of my Countrymen, particularly one. Gentleman to whom I was offered Letters of recommendation, but which I declined to accept, who went over to France some time back on political grounds, flat tering themselves, that they should become objets of the marked- attention of the French Govern ment, But most woefully have they found, them selves mistaken; nobody pays them any regard ; they pass as mere cyphers ; the only good they have done by Ex-patriating themselves., is_ to free their owq Country of a .nuisance. In fad}, JoNA PAit'rE ^possesses too much Political Sagacity not to be aware, that the same . rage for innovation, which led them to foment troubles and diiquietude at home, would, in case they met with any encou; ragement, proMpt them to repeat the same pradices in his dominions ; and that a restless spirit is the same under every form of Government, in every Age, and in every Clime." WONDERFUL PRESERVATION. About one, o'clock on Saturday morning, the watchman going his round, found opposite the Royal Oak Inn, Manchester, a Gentleman in a state of nudity (ex cepting his shirt), lying on the, ground, moaning himself very much : he could give no account how he came there, but that he went to bed with his wile in a single' bed-room, at the Royal Oak in the evening. It appears he had got up in his sleep, unobserved by his wife,' and - jumped through the, window, four stories high.—He has' an anti - broke, and is other wise much bruised,,but is in a fair way of 'recovery. The Dublin Hue and - Cry of Saturday last evi dences that the race of Irish. Giants is not yet ex tin& ; it states,. that Patrick Kehoe, charged with stealing sheep from R. H..KING,' Esq. of the coun ty of Wexford, had escaped from a party of the rzth DragOons, and it describes him to be six feet seven inches and an half high ! It is # curious fad, and de serving examination, that in a part of the county of Wexford, in the Barony of Forth, the inhabitants atre. of a stature greatly above the common height. A few days since, as Lord GAGE, of Firle Place, near 'Lewes ): was going doWn Glynde Reach, a branch of that river, in ,a boat, with his son, and several other Young Gentleman, Master GAGE, by some accident, fill overboard,• and was exposed to great danger frOm the rapidity of thecurrent,' when' the Noble Lord instantly plunged into the water, braved' the tide, and rescued his son from his periL. ous situation, by bearing him in safety to the shore. The young. Gentleman and. his Lordship were of course both greatly alarmed, but. we are happy to state, that neither ol i tbein received the least yeramal PUBLIC_OFFICE, • tr'tt.

It aPpeared that he Was in the pratiee ;if attending the different places of pu4lic anitse.- mew, and when the ainueinents were finished, would generally accompany 'some o f the frail sister. hood . - home i where he would take the •opportunicy' of pcicketing whatever came in hi"; Way, that was of the least value. 0,,e Lady stated that he Ind ac- Corripanied her hothe fro!n the Theatre,, and in morning made free with a pair orgold ear-rings aril . a gold pin. Another Lady deposed ; .that the prisoner was at the Circus abort six weeks since, and having the manners, and appearance of a Geri. - steam, 'she took him :liOme „ t ro a her . lodgings -in Goodge-stseet. In the nv:rning-he 171". t& a Irivolotis pretence for leaving her for a few minutes, sayinT he had left all his cash at hose-, but would c.ill again in an hottr. The seri , ant suspecting some thing.amiss„ had the precaution to look in his hat; tshic'h lay in another mod, where she found conce,l_ ed - between the crown and the 'lining, her mistres • silk cloak, which he had taken out of the drawer. She communicated this z-a her Mistress, and he was stopped on the and tITe do ile t ;ken from him. Another Lady, who -resided in Wells. street, deposed as to the Prisoner robbing of seven pair of silk stockings,. which she rnisi , :d before he went, and upon taxing him' with the theft, he pulled one pair out of his bosnm, and threw Clown, and the other six pair Were found under the sofa on which he sat: Ile wai apprea !fended by the vigilance and aftivily of Looetti and Of the Officers belonging to • this Office, who, on searching his lodgings in Bird -street, Grosve., nor-square, found upwards of thirty daplicates. Most of the Pawnbrokers attended, and produced the articles, which they deposed were pledged' with them by the prisoner. AmOng the - se articles were a considerable number of opera-glasFes, shifts, silVer spoons, &c. Several other females attended, who • recognized him under similar circurriStances, brit declined to-state what thew had lost, The Magistrate asked him what 'he had to say it his defence. He declined saying any thing mace than that he .had not seen any of the Ladies before. He was then fully committed to take his trial on the charge of stealing the gold ear-rings and pin. ,• A FEMALE IMPOSTCVL-On the, z'th of, August last, a young woman, apparently under 20 years of age, of lather mean -appearance, embarked on board one of , the' packets from Dublin .• to' Holy., head, and frOtil her being alone, soon excittd- the attention of a Ocutleman. who, with his funily, was coming to, England,. and to whom, she stated that she was the daughter of a deceased sister of a Noble Lord now in London, to whom she was then coming, having ,received letters of acknowledg. ment from him as to the fad, and his readiness to receive her : she also stated many other cir. cumstances respelling her history, particularly that she and _some other 'young ladies -had eloped from a very respedable boardin,.. e' sChoui in Ire.. land k during the reb e lli on , a b out five years - since : her relationship to many' noble families, one of which had advertised. her -; her residence with others., in Ireland,_; until, she • was put .pfl bard the vessel, with only 18s. 6d. in her pocket, by a person who pretended, he was then, sending h er t , .) the Noble Lord b e f ore all u d e d t o: man set on fopt a subscription arnong . the Passengers in the Packet, by which a handsome sum wiL; col leled ; brought her tt town - at his own expence; resolving to affOrd her'protedion, until the truth Of her story could be ascertained ; bat, on investiga tion, it proved to be entirely false. She was taken into custody 'as an Impostor, and was yesterday examined at .130w -street, when she persisted in her former story being true, notwithstanding Sir RICH. FORD had then 'some letters before him, in answer to the inquiries he,had caused to be Made, which , c contradi&ed hr in every point. • On her •cros‘exarninatioo, she admitted that many _of the ,circumstances she' had related were not in, her own remembrance, but had been told. to her by some persons, whose names she men tioned.
