THE • Ancient Part of Dr. MAVOR's UNI v E RSA L HISTORY being now completed in Nine Volumes, the Public are respectfully informed, that the First Volume ot . the Modern History will be published on the ist Of October, and that a Volume will continue to be publkh— ed on the First Day of every Month, till the Sixteen Vo lumes, of which the Modern History is to consist, arc com pleted. As the Public opinion of the merit and utility of this Work has been most unequivocally expressed, by the rapid and extensive sale of the Nine Volumes which have appeared, it is rot deemed neeessary to expatiate on the claims which The Modern History will possess, to a continuance of the same flattering patronage. It is obvious, that to all persons to whom the great Vol versa' History, in . 66 large Volumes Octavo, is either too ex. per sive, or tr , o voluminous, 1)r.

The elevated Patronage of Her Majesty, the different Branches of rite Royal Family, and Ladies of the first Rank and Fashion, it is hoped has sufficiently established, in the opinion of a discerning Public, the decided superiority of Archer's and Haughton's Poplins and Tabbinets Gold, Silver, Figured, and Plain Chantherry Mushus and Italian Cambric Sarsenets for Court, Ball Dresses, Turbans, &c. to render it unnecessary for that House to•reply to the Adver— tisements of others, whose chief pretension to the trade is the copying of their A.dvertileinentA.

THIS morning we received the Maxiteur of the 31st ult. It state (what we believe to be true, notwithstanding the symptoms of hostility which have lately appeared in Germany ), that the hilliness of , the Indemnities will very speedily be settled, as Russia, Prussia, France, and Bavaria, are acing in concert with each other. The French Govern. ment has expressed, in a very decided manner, its opinions respecting the disputes in Sw;t. zerland. Our Readers will recollect, that some of the smaller Cantons, who disapproved of the new Helvetic Constitution, addressed a Letter to the Frasr CONSUL of France upon the subject, which was published in the Publiciste. The Official Paper, however, declares, that , the French Government oriiy acknowledges one Government in the Helvetic Republic, and that a part of the People of that Conn_ try cannot address the CHIEF CONSUL, without being guilty of Rebellion against their own Govern. The Price of the French Funds is not given. His Royal Highness PRINCE WILLIAM of GLOUCESTER. safely landed at Petersburgh .on the Bth ult. from the Latvia Frigate, and met with the most distinguished reception from the EMPEROR and his Court. Colonel HAmtLroti is charged by the British Government to settle with the Landgrave of H EssE CASSE L for the arrears still due for Subsidies. Tuesday Earl Sr. VINCEN,T breakfasted with T. CLEATHER, Esq. Mayor of Plymouth, and the Court of Aldermen, at the Mayor's house. After a very elegant dejeune and dessert, Sir W. ELFORD, Bart. the Recorder, presented him with the. Freedom of this Borough engrossed on vellum, and enclosed in a silver box beautifully embossed, and blazoned with the Town's arms, accompanied by a very appropriate speech on the occasion ; to which his Lordship made a suitable answer, ex. pressing his high sense of the honour done to him, and of his. attachment to the Town of Plymouth. His Lordship then proceeded to the ViElualling Office, where he met Captain MARKHAM and Mr. GARTHSHORE. After examining every part of the Viftualling Office and Cooperage, with the whole arrangement of which their Lordships expressed their approbation, they proceeded in the Admiralty barge to visit South Down Brewery, where the whole of the artificers and labourers were mus. tered. Their Lordships then returned to the Vic. tualling Office, and visited the Citadel. In com. pliment to the Admiralty and Navy Board, T. LOCKYER, El. from his battery at Teats 'Hill, and Princess Anne of Denmark Battery, fired a salute of zo guns. All the shipping in the Port were dressed in the different colours of the k.noWn world. Experiments have been lately carried on by Ma_ jor SHRAFNEL, at Woolwich, with Guns of a new construction, by which means a very effeaual fire is brought upon an Enemy at a distance considerably beyond the usual praftice. • . A Letter from Calais, dated ad September, I Soz, to a Commercial House in Town, contains the fol lowing intelligence : " 'We hasten to communicate to you, that the law allowing the transit of refined Sugars and Coffee in France has been suspended for the present, until Government shall have discussed and decided upon the general question of transit ; in consequence of which no Coffee or Sugars, arriving after this day, will be entitled to the privilege of transit°, but will be subjea to the Home Consump tion Duties:' It is stated, on the authority of private Letters from Paris, that the Farmers General are to be re established in France, entirely on the 'ancient footing. There seems to have been no necessity for sub mitting the Convention entered into between France and Russti, for the purpose. of arranging the Indemnities, to the discussion of the Diet of Ratis bon, since those Powers authorize all the Princes and States to take possession of the Territories as signed to them, it the said Convention is not approved and confirmed within two months from the 7th of last month. . The Diet of Ratisbon had, therefore, better put an end to all d'iff'iculties at ogee, withont affeding the parade of deliberation, as it has nothing to do but approve and confirm. Mr. NECKAR'S politics had so fatal' an operation in France, that it is wonderful he should resume his pen, unless - to express his hitter repentance for having convened the NOTABLES, aid by that un fortunate measure causing all the horrors of the .. French Revolution, and the murder of the virtuous Monarch to whom he owes his fortune. The allowance of so great a sum as six gitilmas a week t() the Prince of SALNI KYRBURG, during his cOn6nerrtent at Hamburgh, was holding out too strling a temptation. We may hope that all our foro•ers will has-ten to Hamburgh, in order tg parti. ciliate in sonopeace a puniiivitent.

COWES, SEPT. 2. INFORMATION is just received, that on Tuesday evening, about eight o'clock, between the Needles and Portland, a Brig, under American colours, was totally destroyed by fire ; it is supposed to be the Juic, laden with wine and burr stones, from Rouen to Cork, which put into these Roads in the night of the 3oth ulr. It is not known with certainty, if the whole of the Crew escaped. Though many advantages have already been de rived from the blessings of Peace and our Union with the Sister Kingdom, it ought to he remem bered, that still more may be expelled, and the preservation of all ensured, by a co-operation of plans wisely formed and judiciouslyexecuted. There are none which seem to us better calculated for this end, than Societies of good men combined for the purpose of " DiscOUntenancing Vice, and Promot ing the Practice of Virtue and Religion." Such a one was instituted in Dublin about seven years ago, the salutary effects of which were strongly evinced during the late unhappy rebellion in Ireland. The Anniversary of the Institution was commemorated in an excellent Sermon preached by the Bishop cf MEATH in May 1793, wherein its great utility wins very forcibly described by his Lordship. This Society probably took its rise from that excellent -one established in London about fourteen years ago, called " The Proclamation Society ;" and we are haply to find that another, similar to the above two, cailesl " The Society for the Suppression of rice," has within, these few months been formed in London, composed of Members of the Esta blished Church, and that its progress has been so rapid, as for its numbers to amount already to near four hundred, of highly respeaable *traders, many of whom are of the first rank and distinction. Some of their principal objets, we understand, are to enforce a better observance of the Sabbath, by . giving effete to the laws now in existence for that purpose ; to encourage the industrious Tradesman and Artificer, but to suppress in all ranks, as much as possible, immorality and illegal ' , radices. It is with very sincere pleasure that we antici pate the future success of this usefui Society from the progress it has already made," and we cannot • but hope that its example will be followed both in Town and the Country, by ()tilers of a similar descrip tion,: The arm of Justice will be strengthened by the united efforts of men, who having only •in view the benefit of the Community at large, will, by enforcing the salutary Laws of their Country, preserve to it that true peace and security, which can no longer be lasting than while formed o n . the basis of Virtue and Reiigion. • A letter from Lemwig, in North Jutland, says—, " The night of August 9th will be long remem. bered by us. The day had been uncommonly hot, towards evening the sky was darkened by a thun. der -storm, coming from the sea. The lightning was so incessant, that the heavens seemed in one continued blaze ; and many foreboded the arrival of the Day of Judgment, or at least the entire de, strudion of Leinwig by fire. The thunder-storm lasted two hours and a half, and was succeeded by a dreadful hail ; the stones being of the size of a pul. let's egg. The damage done to the corn, as fir as the hail exteuded, being a circle of about four or five English miles, is dreadful ; the whole country where it passed presents a scene of desolation.. A remarkable phenomenon during this tempest was, that while tile lightning seemed the strongest, we Ileard an unusual hissing in. the air, which resembled the noise of a multitude of large blrdi taking flight." PARIS, Aug. 3z. TH E Affairs of Germany are on the point of • being settled. France, Russia, Austria, Prussia, and Bavaria, are agreed. Prussia has taken possession of the States allotted to her by the Plan of the two great Mediating Powers. Austria has taken possession of Salzburg, inercLstigacien, Brixen, and Trente, which are in like manner al. lotted to her by the same plan ; but the Imperial Minister has - declared that the taking possession of Passau is. only for the purpose of maintaining the rights of the Bishop until the moment when the Me diating Powers - of the Deputation of the Empire shall finally pronounce with respeCt to that subject. .The Publicists has published pretended Letters from Sqvitzerland to the First Consul. The Freneb Government recognizes one Government alone in the Helvetic Republic. A part of the People can not therefore write to the First Consul, without be ing in rebellion against their own Government. RATISBON, Auo. i15.--LThe Russian and French Minister have jointly presented to the Diet of Ra.. tisbon aProjet, which they have adopted as Media tors of :he Affairs of Germany. The Ministers of Prussia, Bavaria, Wurtemberg, and Baden, have ex:. , pressed their readiness to concur with - that proposi tion. In the mean time the Count de ME ERF ELD has taken possession of .Passau, not because the EmPE. ROR wishes to appropriate that Territory to him self, but because he is an Ally of the BISHOP of Passau, and it was necessary .to take possession of that Bishopric, to keep the Vavarians from seizing it before the decision of the Diet is known. According to • the arrangement of , the Indemnities agreed upon by Russia and Freince, it is to form part of the Indemnities of the ELECTOR of BAVARIA, and. it certainly would be more convenient to him than to any other Prince. The objeet of the Houst of AUSTRIA ought to be that of preserVing its Fron tiers, but Passau is an offensive, not• a defensive position, and the possessitin cf: it by Austri. would destroy the Independenc e o f Bavaria, prevent it from ac qu i r i ng t h at we i g h t w hi t • cessary to preserve the E qu ilib r i um of.Gerinan;., All the engigements at the Opera House win ::= took place under the management of Mr. TA.I-Lot<, have, it is said . , been annulled by the . dirdlig Trustees. These engagements are, however, under. ' stood to be annulled only pro forma, as most of the PerfOlmers are likely to be re-employed., VIGANONI and Mrs. BILLING . TpN are the oilly• Performers who have at present entered into en gagements under the authority of the present Con duttor& Of the Opera House. BAN7I has quitted Paris, and is supposed to be, gone to Vienna, where she has been engaged some time. ,DWYER will probably make his first appearance, next season, at Drury lane Theatre, in the eharaCter- Of Charles in The School for Scandal., . But what will the Managers do for a new Sir Peter Teazle ?. Here indeed the 6, K i x G's name was a tower of strength." LriNi is not to be at Covent_Garden Theatre next seasdn, but goes to Drury,Lane. Dt.tßors isunderstood to be engaged at the former Theatre. There were so many of EirtyroN's relations in: the Weymouth 'Theatre this Summer, that their combined performances afforded a striking illustra., tion of the history of S:ylvester Daggerlvord and The remains of poor Piosst the Composer were yesterday deposited in St. Pancras Church Yard.- It is to be hoped that the Su BSC RIBERS to the Opera 1-lOuse, who have so often been gratified by the powers of this unfortunate Genius, the viCtim of his own 'sensibility, will enter into a humane" Subscription in order to soften the afflidiocs of. his surviving family. As the Gentlemen of the Bar find themselves so indifferently accommodated with drovers, on the Circuit, the best .plan, they can adopt is toSorrn themselves into a Pic-1171c Society. 'They might carry their provisions ,with them, and a biiel:.64 would make a very good cvallet. •The 'following curious faft is related by Mr. `KENZI 2, who, in his in North Ame rica, has manifested great abiiities, an 'ardour of research, and an entetpriying spirir 4 t;lz4 cn . tle him to the resped of mankind, One morning I was awakened to be info that an Indian had been killed. I accorai hastened to the camp, where I bound two vu:m employed in rolling up the dead body of a man, c;, ed the White Partridge, in'a beaver robe, which .. • had lent him. He had received four mortal wound..: .from a dagger, two within the c )Ikr-bone, one, the left reast, and another in the small of thebaCi4 with two cuts across his head. The murderer, whO had been my hunter through the winter, had fled and it was pretended that several relations of th - deei,s,ased weregone in pursuit of him. The history of this unfortunate event • is as.follows " These two men had been comrades for four . years ; the murderer had 3 wives ; and the young man who was killed, becoming enamoured of ore of them,. the husband consented ro yield her to him, with the reserved-power of claiming her as his pro- perry, .when it should be his plea , ,nre. • This con nexion was unintereupted for near three Yr•,!r:_,, w ! l1:1, - whimsical as it may appear, the husbaod became jealous, and. the public amour wai suspended, The . parties, however, made their private assignatiotis, which caused the woman to be so ill trea•ed by her husband, that the paramour was determined to ;Ace • her away by force ; and this proj:ct ended in his death."
