" But what is somewhat extraordinary, though These Beaux are so disgustingly negligent in their appearance, they seem to be animated by an in.. crea , ed '.pirit of Gallantry, and nothing can exceed their freedom in addressing a female whom they never saw before, with whatever party she may be Pro t . fted.—lf one of these Slouching, nasty, im pudent Gallants happens tolv struck with the per son of a Lady, in any Public Place, he addresses her immediately with the utmost familiarity, tells her she is an Angel, that he h desperately in love with her,'and if she is an English woman, expresses his surprize that so much beauty should be permitted to quit her• Country. his in vain for the Lady or her friends tO 2 expostulate, or attempt to repel his auda. ciotls obtrusion. He will persevere till he has obliged the party to leave the Theatre, rather than haiird a quarrel. " I have here given you a faithful sketch of what I have observed in PARIS, but if -I were to give it a proper co - Luring, and draw it more in detail, you would perhaps think I had presented to you the . distorted produce of my own imagination, and a gross caricature of a People, who in point of genius, knowledge, and politeness, fancy themselves entitled to• look with contempt on every other State." At an early hour on Friday evening a fellow got over the garden wall of a Mr. Smellie, in East Place, Lambeth, and stole some clothes which hung in the garden. He was observed by a woman in the house, who ran out and enElcivoured to secure him as he was making his escape ; he, however, knocked her down, as well as a man who came'to her assist ance ; he then climbed over the wall, but the alarm being raised, he was pursued and taken. Saturday evening, in consequence of a dispute with some girls of the town, a seafaring man was murdered in St. Catherine's-lane; East Smithfield. He received no less than six different wounds in his breast, from the blade of a clap knife, one 'of which proved mortal.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM PARIS, AUG. 2. /1 7 0,11 have heard, no doubt, much concerning the severe Police of this Capital, and; in one respeet, all you have heard is true. Nothing can he more vigilant than the Police in all matters of a Political Kind. It is almost impossible to hold a conversa tion that has the least allthion to the operations of .Govetpment, even in private houses, without being in danger of having all yore said reported to - some of FoucHE's numerous and aCtive myrmidons. More allowance in this respea is made for Foreigners than for . the Citizens of the French Republic, who are eX peCied to be content with an order of things that has put a stop to the Guillotine, if it has not af forded them any more 'Liberty. The' Fiend - Cid. ;ens, while they lament that the Freedom ofwhich they . have been so long and so anxiously in pursuit, and for which they have made such dreadful sacri fices, is 'a mere shadow, feel the propriety of this expeetation on the part of Government. They sub mit to the disappointment with philosophic apathy, -or endeavour to drown Refledion in a constant ca. reer of Dissipation. " But though the Police is thus vigilant upon all matters_of a Political Kind, it relaxes in the same proportion respeEting such inferior matters as re late to the convenience of Common Life,. and the ordinary course of . Justice. Pick-pockets parade the streets. every night in crowds, and seem to be em boiciened:bygthe toleration of the Magistracy. I twill give , : pyou a proof of this remark in what' oc ourred.a few evenings ago. , " Air English Clergyman, incoming out of the Opera House, felt the attempt of a man to purloin his watch. The Clergyman seized the hand of the thief, before he had taken the watch out-of the fob, but the fellow, instead of desisting, and en deavouring, to escape, exerted all his strength, drew out the watch, and threw it among his associates. He-then attempted to make off, but the Clergyman, like one of his own Country's Bulldogs, kept fast hold pf the culprit. He was surrounded by a gang of ruffians who immediately began to. interrogate him on his right to seize -a French Citizen,-but the Clergyman, being supported by some friend's, suc ceeded in getting the fellow into' the hands of an Officer of Justice. He attended the next morning at the proper Tribunal to make his complaint, and, to give you a specimen of Republican manners, the Prosecutor- and -the Robber were both placed close to each other on the same bench, and the latter, without the - least ceremony, kept his hat on before the Officer of Justice. After the Gentle man had stated the whole transaElion, supported by the testimony of persons present on the spot, the Prosecutor was advised to conproar;se the affair. He insisted on justice, and was therefore referred from Office to Office, apparently_ with a view to tire him, and render-him hopeless in the pursuit of it. At length, however, the tart was so clear, and the perseverance 'of the Prosecutor so determined, that shame, rather than a sense of Justice, brought upon the Robber the' sentence of imprisonment for a year. , As the Prosecutor,. however, was expected to sraybut a short time in France, it was generally believect.aiat . the Robber would be set at liberty, - as soon as it *as known that the Accuser had left the Country,—.—Such is the boasted Vigilance, and such the Justice of the Republican Police..,, " It is difficult for you, well as you are acquainted with London, to find any parts of that City, in the worst weather, in so dirty a condition, as the best streets of the Consular Capital. Women cannot walk a foot, and it might be supposed that the City is kept in this filthy condition in consequence of a anepaa between the Police and the Hatiney-Coach. men. " As to the men, their general habits preclude them from rnuch concern about dirt, as they can hardly be rendered more slovenly and dingy in their appear ance. A great coat, without any other, over a shirt that seems to be totally at variance with Soap, are infallible marks of a Parisian Beau, at all Public Places. KEAfBLE. (Ti'DM A FRENCH .PArlit.) MR. X.Y.MBLE, the celebrated - Mir of London; whose arrival at _Paris lfas been announced by all • the Paper, is a fine figure, and appears. to be from 36 -to 40 years old. His dark hair, and.the marked ,charader of his features, give him a physiognomy truly tragic ;—he understands and speaks perfeliy well the French -lauguage, but in ccmpany he ap pears. to be thoughtful• and incommunicative. — His manners, however, are very distinguished, and • he has in his look,, when he is spoken to, an expres ' sion of courtesy that affords us-the best idea of his education ; he is said to be'tvell informed,. and a particularly good grafWiflrian, which must distin guish_ him from other . Eifilish Alors, who are more attentive to attitude than to.didion. . _ The Comedie Franc Ase has received him with all the respet due to the LE KAIN of England ; they have already given' him 'a superb dinner, and mean to invite him to a still more brilliant supper. TALMA, to whom he had letters of . recornm enda_ lion, does the honours of Paris"; "they visit together our finest workS, and appear to be already united by the most friendly ties. KaMBLE is frank enough to avow, that our mode of theartic declamation does not suit him, and that he. thinks it too remote room Nature, but he confesses,; that some of our Alors have great talents. Before his depi:rtui - e they talk of playing Macbeth, Hamlet, and , Romeo and Juliet. Thus true French Gallantry will have the double advantage of doing : honour to a whole People in the person of their most celebrated Tra. gedian, and of drawing great houses. The following Anecdote is extrataed from a Work of Mad. GENLis, entitled "Souvenirs de Fe lute:"—During the.. early part of -the .reign -of Louts XV. the young Count de Tifriias was at Foniainbleau with the'Court ; he was 'lodged in an apartment of the Palace. under that of Madame de MAILLY, who was not at that time the declared Mistress of the King : she was not then even sus. pelted of having an intrigue with him. The fun nel - of the chimney of the Count de ' l r- - HIARS'S room opened into that of Mad. de MAttty's, so that what was spoken near the .fire-place in the lower doom could easily be heard in the room above. One night the Count de THIARS was re tiring rather late to bed 7 hRI going along the corri dor, he met the Count de Bissy, his brother, who walked with him w his 'room. It was the latter end. of autumn, and the night, was cold : the tWtt brothers drew near the fire and began to converse about the King, whose character they treated with the utmost severity. Their. conversation was how ever suddenly interrupted by a dreadful-voice, roar ing down the chimney, " Hold your tongties, lent wretches." It *As' the King's -voice.—The two br6thers remained for some moments silent and motionless ; they gave themselves up for lost.— When the first moments of surpriie and terror were past, they began to consult about the means of. se. curing their safety : at last they agreed that. they 'must wait the event with -- patience and courage. They _went, pale and trembling, to the King's Levee next morning; expetting at least to be sent to the Bastille. The King looked at them with great sternness. Before this, period the two bro.: titers_ had been great• favourites with the .King. — From that time till the period, of his death, which was thirty years afterwards, ,he never .spoke to them; or took the least notice of them: they ob tained no favours from the Court, but never.expe. rienced any other mark o,f. the King's displeasure. Sir FRANCIS,BURD'ETT'S early retreat from the Tavern, after -dinner, on the 'day .. of his empy triumph, upon the.final conclusion of the Poll, has given great disgust to his rabble . Friends. But what could they expeCt ? They hall had their fall share of the generous Baronet. They had ate and :drank fron his lavish stores till he had no longer any occasion - ft.r them, and they could hardly sup. pose he would continue - higuconnealon with such a despicable herd when no-employment for them. We beg' leave t 6 retniu.d them of what SEM PRONIUS says in CATO. • " Know, Villains, when such palsrylaves . pltsume " To mix in Treason, if the P!ot succeeds, " They're thrown seglelied hy: but if it tails, " They're sure to die like Dogs."— Written on the barrel of one of the muskets sent into the Ordnance Stores in Hull Garrison, from the Wakefield Volunteers : " WILLIAM DAwsoN, in the Grenadier . Com. pany of the Royal Wakefield Volunteers, took up this firelock in the year 17,94, and continued till the Ist of June, 18oz,, in defence of the Religion, the Laws, and the Liberties of Great Britain, against a Democratic Revolutionary System of Politics that first reared its Hydraic head in France :—Pride spread misery and desolation in that devoted land, and thteatened destruEion to all Established Govern. ments, and the dearest interests of Society. This War cost the British Nation seas of blood. To wards the latter end of the contest she stood alone ; but the bravery of her sons, and the firmness of her councils obliged the enemy to abandon his deSigns against this happy land, which by the excellence of its Constitution, and the mildness of its laws, has so long flourished, and under the blessing of Pro vidence may it continue to flourish to the end of time ! "GOD SAVE THE KING !R" SUSSEX AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. LEWES, AUG. 9. THE Anniversary Show of Cattle and Sheep, for • the Premiums given by the SUssex _Agricultural So -ciety, held here on WednesdaY•last, was, as . usual, very 'numerously attended. The fields in -which the animals were exhibited, were crowded with a large assemblage of amateurs of the first fashion, as well as distinguished breeders from every part Of ;the United Kingdom. • After the Company had sufficiently . gratified their anxiety in the field, - they'retired to the White Hart Inn, where about 20C sat down to dinner, among whom we observed' the Earl Of EGit EM6NT (in the Chair),. Lord GAGI., Lord SIIF.FF I ELD, Sir T. FR ANKLAND, Sit C. BISSHOPP, Messrs. PAR MEN TI ER and HOUCHARD, Members of the French In . sti tate Nationale, 'with. a: long et ca" tera of the most distinguished - breeders in the agriCultural worll The KING, the PRINCE Of WALES, and other usual. toasts having. *gone round, the Earl of EGREMONT informed the- Meeting, that the time for which : the Subscription in • support of the in. stitution had been originally entered into, had ex pired.. His Lordship then proposed, that a New Subscription should take place for the ensuing five years, and offered fifty guineas annually •for that pe riod ; several other Gentlemen subscribed their names, and we have no doubt but every. support will be given to an Institution which embraces as its objed the best interests of the Public, with the particular advantage of the, County of Sussex. His Lordship then gays the healths.of Messrs. PARmENTIER and Hoy. c 11AR 9,ancl the Agricultural Societies in Fra-nce,add ing, that those Gentlemen had visited this Country, after a ten -years war, for the express purpose of beingpresetwat the exhibition Of that day, and thus enabling themselves to judge of, and explain in their own Count ry,wha t had been &Me-here to advance the intereSts . Of Agriculture, 'Which, he , added, was one of the first and best arts of Peace,- and pro.: moted exclusively the true interests and happiness of tpankind. The French Gentlemen expressed their thanks' in very polite terms, and gave, " Prospe rity and success to. Agriculture _all over the world, and may every. Agricultural Society associate with that at Lewes." The Earl of EGREMONT then gave " The Memory of the late Duke of BEDFORD," a sentiment which seemed to operate' with elelric force,on the feelings of the company. His Lordship began' to explain, the intention of the late Duke's friends to ered a - Monument to his Memory, but such was the poignancy of his feelings on the occasion, that for a few thomentS he was unable to proceed ; recovering himself, his Lordship stated the motives whiCh had influenced the deceased- Duke in his general condua, and who, he said, had devoted the whole of his matchless talents and ample fortune , to the diffusion of knowledge, and the benefit of so ciety. A. subscription , from those present who had not subscribed before, was entered into, and added to the general fund. The judges then:made their reports, as usual, on the merits of the cattle, sheep, and fleeces, which his Lordship read to the meeting. The other decisions having been made, and Mr. EL LMAN'S CupS presented, Lord EGREMONT, with the rest of the company, repaired to the fields to view the prize • animals, which had been detained there for that purpose. At Ashford Wool Fair, on Monday last, Lord SONDES presided. A very large assemblage, of growers attended; but two staplers only were pre sent. At Lindfield Fair, on Thursday last, lambs fetched from 18s. to 3os. per head. Thursday two Troops , of the Second Regimedt of Dragoon Guards (Scotch Greys) marched into this town, where they halted for the night ; and on Fri day recotnmenced their march, for coastink_duty in the Eastern part orthis county. The appearance of the above regiment ( is very little altered since it was quartered in , SLAiex lour or five and twenty years ago. • , , • The Rev. WM. GRIFFITHS, Vicar of St. Issey, near St. Columb, t .on Saturday • morning, th e 3 st ult. took his horse, and said, that he intended to go to Lanherne (a seat of Lord ARUNDEL, about two miles from St. Columb) to see the Nuns, and that if he did not return to St. Issey to dinner, he should dine at St. Columb, and return home in the evening. On his not returning to St. Issey, as expeaed, Mrs. Griffiths grew very uneasy, and sent several per sons in search of him on Saturday night, but in vain and on Sunday morning his horse was found in a field near the cliff at Mawgan, and his whip was stuck up 'near the cliff. As he had been seen there riding to and fro several times on Saturday after noon, it was immediately conjeaured that he had fallen over the cliff into the sea. On searching the cliff, his body was discovered under water, and was drawn up by ropes ; but though the cliff was very high and rugged, he did not appear to be much bruised by the fall ; his spurs were found one in each pocket of his coat, and a gold ring in -his coat pocket. The Coroner (Mr. Hamley of Bodmin) was sent for immediately, and the Jury brought in their verdift " Accidental Death." He has left a widow and five-young children to mourn the loss of an affeaionate husband -and a tender father. The living of St. Issey, about cool. a year, is in the gift of the Bishop of EXETER.' A Mr. HAWKINS, of New-York, has construaed a new. musical. instrument which he calls a Claviol. The music is produced from gut strings by a rosined horse-hair bow, and TS' played with finger-keys like the harpsichord. :The tones which this instrument produces, are stated to possess - the sweetness of the Harmonica, the richness of. the Violin, and the grandeur of the organ. Monday two Soldiers of the Second Regiment of Guards, were fully committed from Bow -street, for trial, for robbing T. WARNPR,'OIEast Afton, of his money, as he was walking past Shepherd's Bush, on the Afton road, on Saturday night last. K El‘,7 ASSIZ-ES. ISEIVOIt.£ SLP. ARCIUSALD DEACIJONALD, KNT SNF.LLER. , 7).

The concern was a . losing one, and an account %vas taken with a view to the hissolution',of the-Part nership, when. it appeared. the Defendant. *bted to the Plaintiff in .the .sum of ,701. ; for", which it .was_agreed he should givei , a note payable at' six months. It was stated by : the Plaintiff's ,Counsel, that this note had been afterwards art.- fully ; obtained possession of by the Paendant front the .

It was pioved that - the 'work had been done, and that the Plaintiff had paid for it. The' Maid-servant of the Plaintiff deposed,. that one day in 'her master's absence, the. : Defendant 7, came to his house, proceeded to the place where he kept his papers, and took 'away the note for saying he was authorised to dO-so.. On the- part of the Dcfendant it was contended, . that after the dissolution of- the Partnership, the .Plaintiff had called upon him and delivered up the 'Note, at the same-time telling him a Regiment of Soldiers: was coming. to Canterbury, and that it would be for their mutual advantage to continue to trade together, as , they . would have an opportunity of selling a number of Watches.
