Yesterday,- the MiniSter teft •Town for East bourne, whs .. reliiS..Fguily will reside for some weeks longer. Lord 'WHITORTH certainly sets Off: for Paiis r.ex•t week. Every doenestic .arrangprient ,on, the part of his Lordship, has been long ready for that purpose. - new EienCh AmbassadOr, General ANDRE c;sT, has sent word, that lie would, With the ex eention of a Private Secretary, retain t h e same Ge n _ tiemen in London, who have been ernployed during Mr. Orro's Embassy. Lord CASTLEREADH iS arrived in town, and has taken his seat as President of the India Board. The LORD MAYOR yesterday gave an elegant Dinner at the Mansion House to Sir J. B. WARREN, previous to his setting ()Ton his Embassy. Among the company present were Lord NELSON, Sir .SIDNEY SMITH, Mr. JAcKSoN, - The Private Letters lately receiverfroin - PariS, contain very contradictory accounts respe4ing Ge neral LASNES ; in one of them it is said that he has been forbidden to return to Paris, and in another it is stated that he has aatially returned, and has had an interview with the Futs'r CONSUL. American Papers were received in town yester day, up to the 31st July.; they contain scarcely any thing of importance. Captain M`LAit EN, %vim ar rived at New-York on the 29tli July, from Cape Francois, after a passage of eight days, relates that Gen.Lr.cl:EßC had ordered an additional duty of s per cent. on all goods exported from St. Domingo, mak ing a total duty of zs per cent, ; that reinforcements of Troops were daily arriving from France ; that the fever still raged with great violence among the Troops ; that out of nearly seventy Generals who came out with the Army, not more than twenty-- five remained, the remainder having been almost all .cut ofF by the fever ; that General LECLERC was on the eve et returning to France, and was to be succeeded by General M'DoNALv ; that Ame rican produce was in general very low ; and that flour was selling eight dollars per barrel: Mr. Fox, in the bombastic manner of the French, is styled the First Man in England. and the ex pression is here echoed by those who °till ha v c a wish fin- Revolution in this Country. It would be of little consequence, indeed, what became of this Country, if Mr. Fox were really the First Man in it. Mr. Fox chuses to forget, and BONAPARTE pro bably never heard of the Anti-Gallican sentiments which that Gentleman formerly uttered in the House of Commons, when it suited his rirpose. When the Commercial Treaty with France was proposed in the House of Commons, some sixteen years ago, Mr. Fox opposed it, on the ground of its allying us too closely with .France ; a Country, of which he. said, we should ever entertain a' distrust, and against which we should ever encourage a National i'sntipathy, We do not wonder that a kind of sympathetic feeling should exist between the (worth) Alderinan COMBE and the FIRST CONSUL of France. They both attained the Chief Magistracies in the . Metro politan Cities of the respeetive Countries on the same day, namely, November gth, 1799. According io report, Monsieur NECKAR and Monsieur de CALONNE, who have long been at Literary Loggerheads, have resumed.the pea, deter.. mined. to fight the matter out. One accuses the either of having ruined the Fine/neer of France: the Other retorts the charge, and, in addition, alledges that his adversary's_ bungling spirit of Democracy overturned the Governient of France, and occasion ed the murder of it 4 Sovereign. Much may be said . on both sides. The uncertainty of all human affairs is striking ly exemplified in the relative state of France and Turkey. Two or three years ago France endea voured to dispossess Turkey of its most valuable 4, , pendi,ges, and now they loive entered into a Con vention, in which it is agreed that " Hostilities ;shall, for she future, and for ever, cease between the two States ! !! " We learn from Cudelalore the death of Captain ANDREW KERR, aged 76, formerly of the Country Service, but better known by the name of the Old Commodore. He was born at Fort St. David's, abOut the year 1726. In his Will he direded his body to be interred in is particular spot of his gar den, without ceremony or service. His con bad . lain for many years in hissodown (warehouse), and was made use of as a liquor chest. The Earl of ROSLIN has recently taken a consi derable tra'sq of land under his oWn immediate cul tivation ; the arable part of it he intends to ap portion equally to the broad-cast.and drill modes of hobandry, thus to ascertain, by a course . olcorrea experiments, which of the two is, on the. whole, the more advantageous praesieid system. t Isley Fair, llcrks, on Thursday, the number of sheep ;sod iambs was nearly, the same ls 'in for mer years (about 30,000), but not .above pne-thi r d . of them were sold, t119“31) the prices came down .s. heac.3. cheaper 01;m at any ether Fair this year.

Arrived the Sans Souci a KERFONTAINE, from Isigny, laden with butter ; Fox, AL/STIN, from Sea; Three Brothers, Coco_, from Alderney, in distress; and Mar ) ', CI.ARK; from Cowes for London. DEAL, SEPT. 10. ARRIVED from a Cruize, the Immortaliti Fri gate, Savage Sloop of War, and Vixen Gun.brig. Arrived from the Westward, and remains, His Majesty's Sloop Mntine. Last week came into Cawsand Bay, forced by eon. trary winds, the Thomas, Goineaman, Captain MAR TIN, bound to Senegal and Goree, with a cargo, and for slaves. Capt. MARTIN went ashore in .the after_ noon of Sunday to procure fresh beef and vegetables: whilst 'absent, six of the sailors (lately pia off from, a man of war), being rather in liquor, refused to . furl the sails, or go aloft, on which Mr. SCOTT, Chief Mate, remonstrated. Fop and Arthur, two. of the ringleaders, and most aaive in the mutiny, with the other;, rushed aft, knocked down Mr. SCOTT, and used him very roughly indeed, till res cued by the better disposed part of the crew. During the mutiny, Captain MARTIN came on board, and ordered them to their duty, which they refused, and Fop gave the Captain so violent a blow on his neck, as brought him to the ground : on this they kicked him as he lay sense4fss. The Mate being or. the forecastle, hailed La Venturer, of 1.8 guns, lying abreast of the Thomas, when a boar, well manned and armed with Royal i'vlarines, with a Midshipman, pushed off .and, got along-side the Thomas, when the mutineers took shot and axes, and swore they would sink the boat before any Marine should come on board the Ship, swearing they would have their blood for supper, and that of their Captain and his Mate. By this time the gallant Royal Marines, and young Midshipman, rushed up the side, boarded, and charged bayonets on the Mutineers, who were soon overpowered, hand-cuffed, and sent on board the Flag Ship in Ha amaze, and put in irons for the night, but still be haved very disorderly and riotous. In the morning they were sent on board the Spider Cutter. The Mutineers were on Wednesday morning, hand-cuffed and well guarded, conveyed to the Guildhall, where the depositions of Capt. MARTIN, Mr. SCOTT, and the Midshipman, were taken before the Mayor•and Deputy Town Clerk. It is supposed the Mutineers will he committed for trial at the Admiralty Ses. sions. Mr. C. L. DucttEsw has lately communicated to the French Government, a discovery in ship-build ing, to which he attributes the highest importance. —lt is, that for merchant shipping, fir deal, an inch and a. half thick, answer s a ll p ur p oses as well as the heaviest and strongest oak-plank. This fad he has ascertained by a number of voyages, performed dur ing an uninterrupted course of three years, and chief ly in the North Seas, in a vessel of this construdion. Lately, his vessel ran aground near Havre, but was got MT without injury, in circumst an ce s i n w hi c h, as he affirms, any ship of the usual materials would infallibly have been destroyed. PEDESTRIAN USE OF BALI.oONs•---The pedes trian use of Balloons remains.yec untried in Great Britain. On the Continent it has been ingeniously proposed ; for every cubic inch of the contents of a Balloon, the weight of a person bearing it on his head is rendered one ounce lighter. A Balloon may be easily carried on the ; head, which qiall take full solb. from the weight of a person walking. It is fixed by straps to a leather belt. These straps pass through a wooden support, by which the Bal- loon rests on the head. Over the whole — Balloon is a net-work, which preserves it firm in its posi tion, and in its connetaion with the wooden sup_ sort. The headier belt passes round the -waist. From it hang two ;bottles, in which are themate_ rials for a supply of inflammable gas, to be `pit into the Balloon by a cock when any part escapes of that with which it is ; filled. The walker is furnished' also with two-oars, covered at one end with taffety, ;to assist his progress. The fabric of the Balloon is: of gtimmed raffety.

The Scotch Universities also are not repre., sented, though those of En'gland and the University of Dublin are. The County of Caithness has E much to its credit, taken up this business.

A genteel company assembled at the Theatre by abOut eleven, to hear a grand Morning Concert,- which was performed in a 'temporary orchestra, ,ereaed on the Stage. The Concert commenced with one. of HAYDN'S grand Overtures'. The different Vocal Performers mentioned in Ety last, acquitted themselves vcrY respeClably. M,ci.urne DusEtt sung " Jib serenti it mesto cielio," by CIMAR OSO, in a very capital style. Mr. Huc es was much . - opplauded in a concerto on the Oboe. MISS CHEESE, only eleven years of age, astonished every body with her wonderful cution of -a concerto on. the. Piano FOrte. The whole concluded with the celebratedwe, or GlO rious Apollo." Although the Concert was extremely well con dueled find performed,. yet _at iimes,,many of the audience, being worn out from want of rest, occa sionally enjoyed a refreshing nod,. After the Concert, Nicitor.As GR msHAw, E•sq. the:Mayor, entertained - alarge :party in the Guild hall with a most sumptuous dinner. In the.evening,•at half-past seven, a public dress promenade was appointed to take place in both the Halls, and when the time airiVea, at their posts. The proineuade was carried on in the usual style of such ;matters. Between nine and ten o'clock several hundreds were 'assembled the Halls, and they were not-se tired but they could dance till a very late, or rather an early hour. Folly As It Flies, andLthe Children in the Wood, were aded at the Theatre for. - the benefit-of Mr SionoNs.--,Waher, by Mr. SlDDorts. • A number of opulent familieS are Roman Catho, lies in this town. Several of their Ladies walked in 'the procession, and when they approaChed the Church they retired from the.procession intct_liouses near the Church, and waited till it returned, the Priest having refused them the indulgence of enter ing the Temple of Heretics. A very distressing circumstance has recently:oc curred in the domestic establishment of Earl SP EN. C ER, at Wimbledon : Mr. MICHAU, a Frenchman, who has lived many years in the family, in the si tuation of upper servant, left Wimbledon on Mon. Clay morning last, saying he was going to London ; for Lord SPENCER being engaged on a shooting party, and Lady Si.ENo :Abseil( on a -visit to Earl CANIDEN, he was entirely master of his time, as it was his peculiar station to attend about their per:. sons. Lady SPENCER revi s iti n g Wimbled on on Tuesday morning, inquired, as usual, for MI. CHAU ; but he was not returned, neither did he wait at dinner, as had been customary ; it was therefore supposed that he had been detained in town, till on Wednesday a punt was descried, floating at random, on the.ex'tensiKe sheet of water which adorns \Vim_ bledon Park, and, on approaching it, a suit of clothes, stockings, shirt, shoes ; &c,; were discover ed which, on inspeaion,were soon ascertain. ed to Iniong - to the ; iyiltirtunate, absentee.
