CALEDONIAN HINT.---Tuesday last the follow. ing Noblemen and Gentlemen were elected office bearers of the Caledonian Hunt for the ensuing Year, viz. Right Hon. the Earl of DALHOUSIE, Preses ; Right Hon. Lord ELPHINSTONE, Trea. surer ; Councillors, Right Hon. Lord BLA NTYR E, R• DUNDAS, Esq. of Melville, ARCH. CAMPBELL, sci. of Blythswood. As Mr. SHERIDAN, upon the alarming business °f the Naval Mutiny, and other topics of the high est national importance, came forward in the most open and decided manner, and spoke the sentiments of a True Briton, insomuch as to obtain the desig nation of " the illustrious exception," when corn. Pared with his Party in general, particularly too at time when Mr. Fox observed a mysterious silence, it has been thought that Mr. SHERIDAN'S essential difference of opinion with Mr. Fox, with respea to the porx er and disposition of France, implies a very severe condemnation of the sentiments which the latter seems to have imbibed during his late visit to , that Cou•stry. A French Paper states, that a woman, who was lately .conviard of Libertinage at Nancy, and sen. tenceti to two years imprisonment, was one of the Cedderrei under the Reign of Nature, who prome nided in the streets-on triumphal cars, and were in. italled in the Temples of Reason. The following passage is translated from a recent Surgical Work, published in Paris :—" The English ar e, of all European N a ti on s, t h e most li a ble to the o 4 6th alm;a ; a circumstance which the Faculty v ery prop er ly ascr ib e to t h e i r i nord i nate re li s h f or a b eef-steak s , and t o a ?trim-jou: habit which prevails "Ion: them, of drinking brand, and cs'ater after their meal s ti' We ate g l a d to understand that the. Mr. CHARLES 4 wtatt r who died a few days ago at Hertford, is not the Gentleman who is so well known for his taste in t h e Arts, his fi ne culleaion of ancient Sculp tl es, and the high worth of his private charatier. nte. . . The Consul CA.kBACERES gave on Sattrday a dinner of ceremony td the British Ambassador; at which were present the Membe rs of the Corps Diplomatique; and a number . of General Officers. Amongst the persons of distinction presented by Lord WHriwoRTH, were Lords CHOLMONDEL EY, CorriloxANl, BORTNGrioit,COLERAINE; and FRE DERIC MONTAGUE, Colonels kot e and MicatE w, and several other English Officers of rank. AmOngst the foreign ladies who attended the Issetribly in the evening were, the DutChess of ".DORSET, the Dutchesi of Coltnott, Lady GEORdIANA GORDON, the Marquise de GALLO, the Princess JUSTINIANI, Madame de BOirmtks, Madame SALADINE, Mrs. Hrirrink, and several other English Ladies of the first distinction. _ _ • Citizen SEQU IE a has been appointed President of the Tribunal of Appeal, in the room of Citizen TR E I LtiARD, appointed a Councillor of State: RATlstort, DEC. 6.—The thirty-second Sitting of the Deputation, which took place the day before yesterday, offered two objeas of superior interest, the Note of the Ministers of the Mediating Powers, of v► hick we have already given an Extra6l, and a - _ long Declaration made by the Sub-Delegate of Bo hemia, of which the following is the substance " His IMPERIAL MAJESTY has seen with plea sure, the laudable zeal with which the Deintation has - sought to provide for the support of all those who will suffer by the Secularizations, and he ac.. cedes with all his heart to the arrangements made in that respeCt .His IMPERIAL MAJESTY declares, that the Archduke ANTHONY renounces formally, and without reservei all his rights respetting Ca log;ze and Munster ; he declares besides, that on the subjeti of the occupation of Passau, he has given assurances the most tranquillizing, and invested his AmbassadOr at Paris, with lull powers and definitive instruaions, in such a manner, that, in order to terminate the busiress, every thing depends at present on the dispositions of the Me -diating Powers and of the Deputatio:►. If, how ' ever, the Deputation, contrary to all expectation, do not wish 'to wait the issue of that Negotiation, it will be nesssary to insert in the Recess a clause in favour of the changes which may yet take place in the actual allotment of the Inde►tinities at the con clusion of the said Negotiation, and it is only in reserving a similar clause, that the Sub-Delegate can accede to the Recess. His IMP ett.TA t. MAJESTY still thinks it is his duty to make ►he proposition of conferring upon the GRAND DUKE Of TUSC ANiir and the Grand Master of the Ttutonic'Order, the Elec toral Dignity, and also to propose the establish ment in the College of Princes, composed, accord ing to the new arrangements,. for the most part of Protestant State.:, a certain number of nev': , Catholic Votes, such a measure being . necessary to preserve the equilibrium, and a just proportion between the two Religions." On the appeal made-by the Direqorial Minister for the votes upon this declaration, all the Sub-de_ legates reserved themselves for the next Sitting. .A new Note of the Ministers of the Mediating Powers is spoken of, which will either immediately- appear, or has already appeared, respecting the States who will have the right of voting in the next deli berations of the Diet. The Ministers of the Mediating Powers trans. mitted this morning to the General Diet of the Em. pire the recess of the Deputation, for ratification. This transmission was accompanied by a Note. BASLE; DEC. 9.—A corps .of artillery from Hu ginguen has traversed our city in its way to Zurich. There has been a general movement amongst the Helvetic troops. The first battalion of the line is at present at Berne, the second is on its march for Lausanne, and the battalion of light infantry is sta. tioned at Zurich. A Battalion of light infantry is stationed at present in the district of Ilanz and Dissentis, • the centre of the late Insurrettion in the Grisons. Ge neral SERRAS has caused .to be arrested the chief and principal promoters of the Insurre&ion, which desolated the Canton of Rhelia, and hal imposed a sum of 48,060 livres on the Communes and Indi viduals who took part in it: General SERR AS be. ing convinced of the return of order in that Canton, has set out for Luz-erne i where he intends to esta blish his Headquarters : chose of the General of Division, BARBON, have been established at Zurich. All the Letters from our Deputies at Paris agree in stating, that the labours of the Gansu/fa will not begin until all the Delegates from the different Can. tom, Distrids, and Towns shall be assembled, which will be in the course of a few days. Their number is in the whole sixty, amongst whom are men of all Parties conformable to the desire of the FiRsT CoNst/L. There arc amongst them seven Senators, fourteen Members, who have sat in the Legislative and Executive Councils, ten Ex PrefeEts and Ex Members of the different Administrative Chambers, twelve persons at present holding situa tions in the Cantons, and fourteen who were more or less concerned in the ancient regime. The Senate has received official intelligence from its three deputies at Paris. They have been pre sented to the second and third Consuls, by whom they were very well received. The Consul CAM. BACEREs has already invited them several times to dinner.. They have made visits of ceremony to all the ArohassadDrs, Envoys and Foreign Mini sters, who have returned their visits. AUGsBLIRG, Dcc, s. —According to the intelli gence received from the Banks of the Inn, all is yet in the same state. Austria has neither evacuated Passau, nor taken posseSsion of Saltzburg, and the other Countries assigned to the GstANn DutcE of TuscANY by the Plan of Indemnities. It is still asserted, that the Indemnities of that Prince have been definitively regulated by a Convention signed at Paris between Citizen TALLEYRAND and the Count COBENTZEL. Atx LA. CHAPELLE, DEC. 6.—There is no truth in the report of Cleves and Gueldres being about to be ceded to the Batavia') Republic. Some good Turkies %ere landed at Portsmouth on Thursday last from France, which were .:t;:f for zs. 6J. each. i: 4 E liAkii ;:I Z 6.th ATAti. VIENNA, Inc• 4. Ale have just leained with complete certainty, gar lis ImpEtitA MAJESTY has tatified the Plan of Indemnities. The Dimi of MotiFNW lately received at Tie_ tiro, an Anonymous Letter s Containing information of ad atrocious plot fOrmed against his life, aid naming the persons engaged' in it; These persons were in consequence arrested, but on ex amination they proved their innocence in a manner that admitted of rib doubt; and were set at liberty. The Author of the Letter has been discovered and arrested, and will no doubt suffer the punishment which his crime deserves. COUNT ST AIIREMBERd: THE sudden expdliion of this Nobleman froin Paris by the special order of the FIRST CONSUL, having been exclusively mentioned by us, and the fad, tho' denied by most of the Daily Papers, having since been confirmed, we now state the circumstances which are believed to have occasioned so singular an event. Wheii the Fißsi Coista commanded in Italy, a small Publication, entitled Le Grand Howne, or something similar, appeared at Paris, containing strittures on that General. This publication was anonymous, and never avowed. When the EMPE ROR proposed sending an Ambassador at the Peace to France, Count STAHREMBERG was fixed upon by His laIPERIAL MAJESTY as a proper person, and the Embassy was accordingly proposed to him.— The Count, with all deference to His Majesty's command, hoped for permission to decline it, from an unsurmountable objedion to the nature of the French Government. , It should seem, that the FIRST CONSUL was informed of such refusal, and the cause of it ; which, added to the suspicion he al ready entertained of the Count being the Author of the anonymous Pamphlet, rendered him an objed of dislike to the FIRST CONSUL. •. The Count was returning to England, after having visited Vienna on. his private affairs ; he took Paris in his way, and meaning only to stay a week, declined visiting the FiasT CONSUL. The day after his arrival, Mons. de COBENTZEL, tl►e Imperial Minister, received a Note from Mons. TALLEYRAND, informing him,. that it was the FIRST CONSUL'S order, that Count STAIIREMZERG, should quit - the French Territory in twenty-four hours. Mons. COBENTZEL in vain represented to Mons. TALLEYRAND,, the in►ustice of such pro ceedings, offering to be himself responsible, that Count STAHREMBERG should answer any accusation against him in the most satisfaaory manner. All that could he obtained from the Minister was, that the FIRST CONSUL gave no reasons for his condua to any one, and that the Count had only to obey the order, which he did'accordingly ; after sending strong remonstrances to his Court. THE ThEATRE.=—The new Opera of Family Quarrels atttaded a crowdcd audience to Covent Garden Theatre last night, and at an early hour it was judged necessary to announce, by a board at the doors, that the bones were full. The Piece self is too insignificant to be an objet of popular at tradion, but supported by good aaing, and the recom mendation of music and scenery, ic• may, perhaps, escape the fate to which criticism would assign it.— It is hardly possible, by any alterations, to ren der it worthy of public support, with a reference to its dramatic qualities. Some confusion arose last night, which brought forward MVIIDEN and FAW cEtT. The Tatter, with commendable zeal, had studied a new song;• instead of that which gave of fence to the eirgasbites on Saturday, and was too Much agitated by the disturbances in the Theatre, to recoiled exadly what he had hastily acquired. He apologized for his incorredness, and his plea was well received. That the Piece will be repeated with success, and that all opposition will finally die away, we can readily conceive, but we cannot retract an iota of what we said of its demerits ; and must again declare, that except as to the a&ing, the . mask, and the scenery, it is totally unworthy of a London Theatre. It has been said that Judaism had a complete triumph at Covent-Garden Theatre on Saturday last ; but the truth is, that the friends of Common Sense joined with the Mosaic fraternity in opposi tion to a Piece which, so far as its dramatic pre tensions are considered, consists of nothing but fri volity and dulness. The Daughter of WADDY, the Ador, performed the part of Caroline, in the new Opera, on Satur day night, at Covent Garden Theatre. Her man ners are interesting, and the whole of her perform ance promises much in her favour. Mr. BARCLAY, who performed Orlando, on Sa tnrday last, at Drury Lane Theaare, is likely to have an engagement at that place. Mr. FOOT made so very reaTeaable t a stand in Hamlet, that it is probable he will obtain a perma nent station on Drury-lane boards. It is very sel dom that a young man, with such promising talents, and such advantages of education, conies forward. Many passages of Hamlet he gave with first-rate ability, and he supported the whole of that very arduous charaeier with a degree of merit that no Actor upon the London stage, now that KEMBLE has left it, could equal in conception and effect. Thursday last, a Publican was convided before CHARLE# FREEMAN, Esq. Mayor, and CHARLES SMITH, Esq. two of His Majesty's Justices of the Peace for Northampton, in the penalty of 4os. for suffering gaming in his house. A long depending Tythe Cause was lately de cided in the Court of Exchequer, in which the late WALTER. BLUNT, Esq. of Nether Wallop, was Plaintiff, and the Rev. EDWARD HULTON, Vicar of the same Parish, Defendant. By this decision the Vicar establishes his right to all the small tythes of the Parish, particularly the tythes of grass seeds and seed-hay, the Plaintiff's hill for the re., covery of the same being dismi‘sed, with costs. •-.," TRE XESTVICZ 11;1?GSTOR; BEAUTY .Diri+EiCkEkt, WHEP.E rocks in rugged grandeur rise lisound Derv'ient water's shelling side; Anti vie v, amid inverted skies, Their heads reileAed from the tide; Whither the rich, the lcarn'd, the fair, When sitiiles ihe blooming year; in Many a circle gay repair, There liv'd i Maid of beauty rare', . . .• The Pride of B uttennere. i:alrn as the Lake's unruEllzd breast, .

The Roya l Authority has just been obtained for establishing a weekly market at Richmond, Which, it is etoected, will be highly advantageous to that town and neighbourhood. Yesterday John Hatfeld underwent a third exa. mination before Sir R. FORD and T. RorwasoN„ Esq. at Bow_street. Nothing final rook place, and Hatfield was remanded on his former' cotnmitment. He looked well, having his hair powdered, and being better dressed than'before. Yesterday two Fishermen were apprehended and brought before the LORD MnYot, at the Mansion House, with their nets, by John Nelson, the Prin. cipal Assistant to the Water-Bailiff, for using them at Long Reach ; his Lordship after hearing the Parties and examining the nets, which appeared of a very destruaive nature, ordered them to be im. tnediately destroyed, but the Officer having repre. sented to his Lordship that it was their first offence, and that they were very poor, and have large families, his Lordship humanely considered their situation, and forgave them the Fine, on their pro. mising never to transgress the Laws again. Died on Sunday last, at his house at Anon, in the Soth year of his age, SAMUEL Wtoo, Esq. Senior Beecher of the Honourable Society of Gray's Inn, a Vicc.President of the Royal Society, and one of His Majesty's Justices of the Peace for the County of Middlesex. A Lifeboat, upon an improved constroaion, has been invented at Shields ; it is mentioned as being calculated to serve as a long-boat, incapable of being sunk, to any description of vessel ; it has a sliding keel through the centre. A few days ago, information was received by some of the Bow_street Officers, that four men, of suspicious appearance, with two carts, heavily loaded, were seen on the Edgware.road, coming towards town, on which they immediately went in quest of them, and near Kilburn met the carts and men described. The carts were loaded with. eight sacks of different sorts of. flour. The drivers were secured and brought before Sir WinarAmt PARSONS, when a direction was produced, which was found on one of them, to a man at the mill of Mr. William Goodwin, at Picket's End, near Hemel Hempstead, Herts. The Prisoners were there fore committed for a further hearing, and proper per sons dispatched to the mill, who took into custody the Miller's confidential servant, upon whom they found a letter from the very man in whoSe pocket the said direCtion was found, and which related to the plan of robbing the mill. At the next examination, before Mr. BOND and Sir W. Pt. sons, some cit_ cumstanCes transpired which critninated two of the Prisoners of being concerned in robbing the warehouse of a Mr. Richmond, on one of the quays in Thames street, of seventeen quarters of malt, which, after passing through the hands of a Jobber, was sold to a Brewer in the neighbourhood of Whitechapel. On Friday the whole of the Prisoners were again exa mined before the same Magistrates, when Mr. Good win's man having made a voluntary confession of the robbery of his Master's mill of the eight sacks of flour, and of a former robbery of four sacks of flour, was admitted an evidence for the Crown against the four men taken with the cart. The charge resped a • ing the malt will be further investigated.
