AttalvtD this morning, the Galatea, Amazon, and ILlagiclenne Frigates, with the 9th Regiment of Foot on board, from Chatham. A heavy gale of wind from the South-west has blown the whole of this day, and its violence still increases, though fortunately without doing any damag e to the Shipping. The Frigates in the Sound and Cawsand Bay ride hard, with yards and top masts struck. Just arrived, the Ship Sibella , of London, Capt. tAR-rox, from London for Trinidad ; and the Brig Alert, Capt. HEATH, from London for St. Michaels, Wind bound. - --~ C-0 1 1100 COOP —We lot tO it.--- the PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 29. \VENT out of Harbour, the Neptune, of 98 guns. DEAL, OCT. 29.

THE THEATRE.--The excellent Comedy of The ;_ 7 ealcits I V;fe was represented agaib last night at thury-La ne Theatre. Mrs. GLovEtt was more in possession of her powers than on the former f ight, and supported the character of Mrs. Oakley with truth and animation. Mr. Oakley was, in the hands of WROUGHTON, a very good portrait of th e affedionate and irresolute husband, who has nse enough to perceive his wife's follies, but not fir mness enough to resist them till he is " per. I. l 3l eXed i n t h e extreme ." PALMPALMER, i n M a jor Oak- Th ) ! acquitted himself with all. that easy humour " 11(1 spirit which shew that he is well acquainted with his art. Mr. C.

This Comedy presents such a strong, yet chaste portrait of real life, as holds forth a n r l a matie model well worthy the attention of our uci ern race of Play-hungers. The Ma nage r of the Bath and Bristol Theatres; ha s ouered liberal terms to STEPHEN KEMBLE, to play Faisteov at both of those Theatres, before his ,;tatt.triono, the North.

The Proprietors and Editors or this Jour. nal, who have arrived from London, announce in their •ProspeEtus, chat the " nature of their Intelli gence will enable them to give Information respeEting England, and Anecdotes which the English Writers have not hitherto touched upon in any of their Journals.", But the reason they give for their Emigration is very remarkable : " The progressive high price of Paper, the enor mous Taxes imposed in E,:g/and on all the objegls relating to Printing, and above all, the constraint placed upon the Press at London, have determined them," adds the Prospectus, " to transport their establishment to France, and to publish their your nal at Paris instead of London." Citizen RemuzAL, formerly Advocate-General to the Chamber of Accounts at Aix, and Citizen CaAmAY EL, are appointed Prefeas of the Palace. According to a Letter from Strasburg, an at tempt was made in the night between the 16th and r7th inst. to introduce into the French Territory near Argolsheim, more than an hundred tlales of', Muslin, reputed English. The Officers of the Customs were on their guard, and a violent combat ensued, in whicht Lieutenant of 'the Customs was killed, and two persons employed under him daty_ grously wounded : the Contrabanders lost, on their side, a Chasseur. The Conduaors, however, hav ing lost their way, the goods were afterwards seized and the persons who 'were with them arrested. The Prefea of Roue: has published a Proclama tion to the Inhabitants of that City, dated the 25th inst. informing .them of the expelled arrival there of the First Consul on the 27th. BASL.Z a OCT. 20.—Since the return of M. de MUL MIN * who was sent by the Provisional Go vernment to Paris, to inform the Government of France of the actual state of Switzerland, the Par tizans of Oligarchy pretend that their affairs are going to take a favourable turn. They say that the First Consul will recede from the principal points of his Proclamation ; that he will withdraw his mediation, and that he will acknowledge the Diet of Sch4witz. These reports, though absurd, are beginning to gain credit, and to give un easiness to those whose only hope rested upon the intervention of BONAPARTE. The Mystery which has enveloped the Negotiation between the Chiefs of the. Insurgents and General RAPP, will soon be dissipated. At present we only know with certainty, that the Diet of Schwitz has con tented itself with declaring that it will not attempt to resist the entrance of French Troops into Swit zerland by force; that as to the future Govern ment of Switzerland, it will admit of no foreign intervention, relying upon the Treaty of Lune vile, which assures to Helvetia the right of forming its own Constitution ; and that the Diet at present was the only legal Government, being chosen by a great majority of the .Inhabitants to frame a New Constitution. The Diet has sent Messrs. PFYFFtA and PEULE k as Deputies to General RAPP, to acquaint. him with their determination, and to deliver to 'him a Justificatory Memorial for the Fir. 4 Consul. General RAPP has insisted upon an absolute submis. sion, without which he cannot prevent the entry of the French Army, into Switzerland. Some of the Provisional GovernMents have endeavoured to pre- vail upon the Diet to submit, but we do not know with what success. LAUSANNE, OCT. r9.—The National Prefea of the Carton of Vaud, has arrested and fined several Citizens who refused to obey, when they were summoned to take arms in defence of their Country. BERNE, Ocr. zo.—The Executive Council and the greater part of the Senators arrived the day be fore yesterday in this City : Discharges of Cannon announced the arrival of the Helvetic Government. The Adjutant of the First Consul, Citizen RAPP, and the superior Officers of the first Auxiliary Demi- Brigade, dined the same day with the Landamman. The Red and Black Cockades have disappeared in consequence of an order from the Municipality. The City of Berne has deputed to the Cavil/Ea at Paris, Messrs. de Mut, rrarr, de WATTEVILLE I DELANSHUT, TSCAHNING, de RUMLINCUEN, and Colonel fluiv'6NwAner. of Lentzbuurg. They will repair to their destination with the Deputies of the other Cantons. Gen. BACHMANN, and ,the superior Officers of the Confederate Army, have departed from Berne; but it ought to be known, that that A: my has entirely cleared the Arsenal of Berne, with the ex.. ception of a few pieces of cannon of a large calibre, which could not be transported ; and the Confede rate.c, although appearing to be dissolved, have still arms in their hands. The Dirt of Schcvitz also still holds its Sittings. RATISB ON, OCT. /7. —The Extraordinary Depu tation of the Lrapire held yesterday its sixteenth SeveLA- Ministers declared their opinioni on different points of the general' Plan, of Indeni.. nitics, but a Condi/vim has not yet been voted. At the sane Sitting the 'Sub-Delegate of the Grand 'Master of the Teutonic Order gave his vote on ►he provisions made f)r the support of the Ecclesiastics and other Persons who have a constitutional "pxist ence in the countries destined to serve as Indemnities. The Sub-delegate established the two follow ing ques tions :—lst, In what ought to consist the Indemni ty of the Ecclesiastical ,Princes . dispo2ssessed ?—zd, flow must that Indemnity _be assigned and guaran_ :eed, which ought to be . alloitell conformably ' to he rank of tho . se to whom - iris.due ? • In answer to the first gue§tion, the Sub_Delegate was decidedly of opinion, that those who were Princes of the Empire should preserve that dig nity ; that they should have the liberty of choosing their residence ; that they should be supported by the new Possessor of their States ; and that an annual pension be ensured to them, proportioned to their former Revenues. As to the second question, the Sub_Delegate was of opinion, that their Indemnity ought to be measured by the amount of the Revenues of each Individual. ROUEN, OCT. 2;. —The Gendarmes of the Con sular Guard have already arrived here, and also the Red Hussars and the Horse Grenadiers. These Corps, richly attired, have aitradel much observa- tion; but nothing has so much excited public cu riosity as the arrival of fifty Mamelokes'amongst us, whose costume and uniform 'are the continual ob jeds of observation. • BRUSSELS, OCT. 20. - Several Manufactories have lately been established in the. Department of Dyle, and particularly in the neighbourhood of Brussels, of Dimi;ies, and Printed Cottons, which imitate perfectly the English Manufaftures. Seve. ral English workmen have lately-established selvesthem in this Country. Wednesday forenoon the two Battalions of Royal Marines had a grand Field.day, the First Battalion on Sconehouse Hill, and the Second Battalion on the Hoe, Plymouth. • These flue men went through their different evolutions with precision, and their firing in companies, grand divisions, wings, and vollies, would not, by any means, have disgtaced an old Regiment of the Line. • The number of cattle and sheep at market last Monday was considerable, and more than found purchasers, even at moderate prices. The follow ing we state as ac actual exrriiwnt, m:ide by a Gentleman on two oxen, which we think is of too much importance to the Public not to be known : Two oxe❑ were bought t)t- - —z, ss. each. Paid to the Butcher ice kitting , &c. &c. o 5 Zo 10 Say for the two 41.- Th: Hides gold for - - .4 3'5 Th,: Fat ditto - - - 2 16 The !Rachel - all Owed for the Offal z o But it was worth much more.

The qua lity allowed to be as'fine as is usually sold by any Butcher in 'London. From the above statement, concerning the ac curacy of which there is not the smallest doubt, the Public must plainly see that there is no real and sufficient cause for the high prices demanded by retail Butchers. Some remedy may always be ap:. plied when the nature of things favours the end in view. The ,profits of a Butcher, who turns his money twice or three times a week at cent. per cent. is great beyond all calculation. With a capi tal of .tool., 301. of which is employed in ready_ money customers, and turned once a week, he may afford to give credit to the amount of 601. more a week, leaving a profit at the end of the year of 31201. Several Chambers in Gray's Inn have lately been broken into and robbed. We do not find that the Gentlemen of the Law have taken much pains, or offered any rewards for bringing the offenders to justice. The best proof of the good efeds of SUNDA' ScnooLs upon the Morals and behaViour of common people, is furnished by the late return of the numbers attending them in the Town of Notting. ham ; a Town peculiarly and justly famed for the order, decorum, and peaceable demeanor of its in habitants. A Society is forming in London, in some respens similar to the Galvanic Society at Paris; its ()Ned being the use of the Metallic Prafiice in the dis orders of the Poor. Several meetings have already taken price, of distinterested persons, at the Crown and Anchor, on the subject. Men of Science, among whom are some Noblemen, have already con. curred in promoting the measure. The Establish ment is to be called the PERXINEAN INSTITUTION. The following melancholy accident happened on Tuesday night : As Captain SCOTT, of the Sarah, of Yarmouth, was going with his wife on board the above vessel, lying off the Tower, about eleven P.M. in attempting to step from a vessel alongside the Sarah, across the intervening si,ace, Mrs. SCOTT missed her step, and fell between the two ships into the river. The Mate of the Sarah (a brother of Capt. ScoTT's) although he could not swim, instantly pre_ cipitated himself into the flood, in hopes of saving her; the Captain also plunged in, but owing to the dark ness of the night, and the tide setting strong, the humane exertions of both proved abortive. The un. happy woman and her husband were both drowned ; and the Mate, almost exhausted by fatigue and: the 'quantity of water taken in, was rescued from the deep merely by the efforts of the Crew of an adjoin ing vessel. • A.) .-tPos totRT or KING'S BENCH, OcTosytt ay.

This Was an indidarent 'against 'the: Defendant for an alledged Nuisance, by which his neigithouts' abode had been rendered uilcomfortable, froiri noise, smoak, &c. said to have been occasioned by a Stearn Engine, which the Defendant had ereded and worked at his house in Bagnio-courti Nevgaie_ street, where he was alledged to employ it for the double purpose of baking and of warming his baths; &c. After a number of Witnesses •were ekamined, the LORD CHIEF JUST! C E recommended that ercry en deaV'our should he made to amend the mode of Work-. ing the engine, and if it should at last be found itn possible to do it withcut aa . c.Eting the comforts of the Defendant's neighbours, it might at last be abated. • • This 'suggestion was immediately adopted, and the Cause was referred to Mr: Se - rjeant . .l3AlLi:Y the verdia to be entered as he shall direa, and he is to examine the state of the thing ; and to say what the Defendant shall do for the purpose of improving the mode of working the engine, &c. STRATTON V. ANOEaSTE ksq:, This was an ii6iion by Mr. Stratton, a Manufic: - ..: turer of Iron Kitchens, &e..tor the sum of z2l. oi. being the difference between 871. which he charged for a Sream Kitchen Warm Closet for keeping meat hot; ecc. and the sum of 671. and a fraCtion, which the Defendant had paid into Cour., contending :hat it was a reasonable price for the article furnished,: and the only question was upon thee, value of that article. Mr. GARROW, in. the course,of the opening i stated, among other things, that this resistance td the Plaintiff's demand did not tome front Mr. An.: gerstein, with whose liberality every one in Cebrt was acquainted, but by Mr. Harrison, a Surveyor, who had caused the claim to be resisted: .Indeed 4 so generous was Mr. Angerstein, that if he had a faithful account sent to him of what should Be proved in this Cause r he would not only immediate. ly pay what the jury should find to be due, bit would add a sufficient sum to it to defray the Plain. tiff's extra Costs.

Ver.ii# for tile Plaintiff.-—Damages 221. 9s. 4d. On Monday morning last, between one and mini o'clock, a person who came passenger in one.of the coaches to the Saracen's Head Inn, in .6611-street i Birmingham, left his bed in a state of. mental de, rangement, without any other clothes on 'thari his shirt, got out of the chamber window. into the yard; from whence he scaled a wall 'at the hot:: torn thereof, stuck with pieces of glass bottles } and descended into the coach-yard adjOining. His lamentable outcry on his falling; from the shocking manner in which he had cut himself in climbing over the wall, alarnied the watchman and the neighbourhood, who corning to his assistance, four.. him lying on the ground, covered with wouncis . : and blood. 'He was immediately carried back to the inn, and medical assistance being sent for, it. was judged necessary to have him p ro p er ly eon ,. fined, to preVent his attempting any further Ili°_ lence on himself. It seems, by some papers found in his pockets; that the unhappy man has friends living in London, to whom advice has been 'sent of his present melancholy situation ; and that what led to the rash aft above-mentioned, was an. opinion which prepossessed his mind, - that he was pursued f in order to be conveyed to Shrewsbury aaol. ANECDOTE OF A DUTCHMAN.-About the yea „ . 630, a Dutch Seaman was condemned to death for a crime committed while at sea but his punishment was. afterwards changed, and he was ordered to be left at an uninhabited part of the island of St. He.. Jena. This unhappy person representing to him. self the horror of that solitude much beyond what it really was, fell into a despair that made him attempt the strangest action .that ever was heard of: The day he was left there had, been: buried an officer of the ship on the ;same island. This- seaman took up the body. out of the coffin, and having made a kind of rudder of the upper board, ventured himself to sea in ir. It happened fortunately for him to be set great a calm, that the ship lay as it were immove. able, within a league and 3 half of the island : but as he advanced, his companions seeing so strange a kind of boat floating on the water, imagined they saw'a speare, and were not a little startled at the resolution of a man who durst hazard himsellon that element so far from the shore in three bArds slight ly nailed together, which a small wave might easily - ~_ have overturned, though he had no confidence to be: viewed by those who had so lately sentenced him to' death ; accordingly it was put to the question, vvhe her he should be received or nor, and some would have the sentence put in execution ; bat at last thv concluded it: thi.fiorctir, and he was taken an board,. and came afterwards to Holland, .where liVetlin the town of Horn ; and related to manydiow Mirat.u. lously God had delivered him; The At/Toro, Assn., from Itarfradoes don, is pet into Antigua with damage to her masts. • t
