Strttt.r, as Is the ordinary charaeter of the in this Town, it has within these few days assumed a degree of rigour and increased aaivity, Which astonishes even the inhabitants themselves, And gives rise to a variety of rumours and conjec tures. No passengers from England are permitted to land, till an order to that effect is obtained from the Commissary. A Centinel is placed on the ? , tiay to see this order pereMptorily enforced. very house has been visited yesterday by Messen gers from the Police Office, for the purpose of taking down the names of every Eiig,lish inmate. Two Gentlemen, who arrived here yes(erday, with_ out having taken the precaution to turnish them selves with Passports, were compelled to return to England •by the evening tide, under the - penalty of being confined in the Citadel, if they stopped one moment atter the sailing of the Packet. Formerly, Such Gentlemen as neglected to provide themselves with Passports from M. Otrn, a negleti which, strange as it may a pi , t'a r, many I find have been guilty of, had an opportunity of repairing their error, and pr oc u r in g a Passport from the Commissary at Calais, by giving a proper account of themselves, and getting _a person to vouch for them. Now no thing o f the ki n d i s allowed. Without a Passport, You are inevitably ordered back—nay, is even rumoured, that in addition to M. OTTO 's.-P assport, Qentlemea, who wish to travel in France, nop,t be furnished with one from Lord FlAwxEssuttY's Office. The cause of this increased rigour is variously ac- Counted for : some will have it, that the tw o Go. vernments are in search ,ot . certain persons, w h o have been guilts , of crimes of aggravated atrocirty, and who are suspeCted of endeavouring to elude the vigilance of Government, by escaping to foreign Count r ie s . O t h ers trace the cause in the great emigration of Mechanic, and Artizans from Great trOain, who find means to obtain Passports from France, - under false pretences, by giving themselves out for Labourers, Farmers, eice. An Engli s h taper is not to b e h a d in any one Coffee-hou se or notel in all Paris. This morning the 57th Regiment, which h as done Garrison duty in Calais for a long time, was relieved by, the 28th.—The latter distinguished itself at the battle of Marengo. The Grenadier Battalion is an extremely fine body of men. The Officers are remarkably tall, well made and handsome. Scarcely a day passes without a duel between the Soldiers. They always fight with sabres, and frequently for a wager. 'Yesterday two Soldiers of the 57th Grenadier Bat. talion fought on the Sand-hills • they were both desperately wounded ; one had his ribs laid open, and the Other half his face cut away. Today, being Sunday, we are to be regaled with the pious and edifying spthacle of a grand Fencing Match between the iVlasters of the 57th Regiment and the Professors and Amateurs of Calais. This is by Way of taking leave ! • This day Egham Race s commence d, an d consider able amusement was looked for. THEIR MAJESTIES, it was expeded would, as usual, honour the Race ground with their presence. Colonel FULLARTON, and Sir SAMUEL HOOD, the two Commissioners going out to Trinidad, and Colonel NtITHERI.OItD, the Surveyor General of that Island, will embark in a few days at Portsmouth. General PI c Ton, the other Commissioner, is already there as Governor. Or. ANDERSON, the Editor of the British Poets, is on a visit in Ireland :o the Bishop of DROMOR E. Mr. JoNzs, the late Member of Parliament, has purchased the seat at Roehampton, lately built by His Roy a l Hi g h ness t h e Duna Of CLARENC E. It is calculated that the English at Paris generally form one-fourth of the Audiences at places of pub lic entertainment there. A good deal of English money is circulating at present in France. We hope, however, the disgust that is universally felt by the English Visitor , , will soon cure our Countrymen of t:eir rage for visiting France.

The Cocking coiiithenced in the Cock-pit about ten o'clock:, Lord DER nv's cocks killed, on the main game with Mr. Citoss, foot- out of six. TWo bye games were fought between Lord Cit tuft's cocks and Mr. CROSS'S, for ten guineas. His Lordship won them both: After the COcking was over, the CotriPat* pro ceeded to the Race.ground in grand cavalcade: Soon after one o'clock the Races Commenced. There was great sport to-day. The bettings were four and five to one in favour of the winning horses. On both days a large stand was filled with Ladies.

Yesterday the whole of the boxes at the Theatre were taken, and in the evening the House over flowed in every part at an early hour. The Earl and Countess of DERBY, Lord STANLEY, and his two amiable sisters, Lady STANLEY and Lady CHAR LOTTE HORNBY, Mr. I3RADDYL, Miss PATTEN, and about thirty other fashionables, graced the front boxes. The Play was, " A Cure for the Heart Ache."

The Entertainment was " The Rival Soldiers," a piece in one aa, taken from " Sprigs of Laurel," in which MUNDEN kept the House in a roar of laughter in Nipperkin. SEPTEMBER 4. The fame of our Jubilee has spread to various parts of the Country, and attracts daily families and parties, but they are obliged to leave us before night, as the re is no accommodation for them in the town. After the Races, we have public dinners. There is a public dinner every day at the Bull, for the Ladies who are not 'accommodated at friends' houses, az which about forty or fifty dine. A few Gentle men are admitted. Yesterday morning Mr. HoßßocKs gave a Pub. lic Breakfast at his house, which was honoured with the presence of the Countess of DERBY, and all her fashionable party. Every delicacy which the sea son atf , rds was provided in great profusion, and the greatest hospitality prevails at his house dur ing the Jubilee. At ten o'clock Lord DERBY attended at the Cock-pit to see his match fought with Mr. CRoss. Two bye matches were fought first ; each killed one. In the main game each.killed three. Between twelve and one o'clock the company proceeded to the Race.ground, when Mr. GILLI BRAND'S bay gelding, and Mr. F. TODDRELL'S bay colt, being withdrawn, Mr. CLIFTON'S bay colt Lancaster, by Sir Peter, lour years oid, walked over the four mile course for the Members' Purse of Sol. After this there was a Sweepstakes of ten guineas each, p. p. consisting of four Ponies. Mr. Hamer's'gr..m. Mary Ann Captain Yates'sb. tn. Brown Bess - - - - - 2 . . Mr. AspinallYs b. g.

PATTEN, M. P. one of the Stewards of the Races, was in the Chair. The following toasts were proposed by the Chair, in bumpers, and drank with three times three : "The Married Ladies who have attended the jubilee, and thanks to them for the large contribution they have made to this Guild. " The Unmarried Ladies, and may they, by united exer tions, contribute doubly to the next Guild." They were drank with enthusiastic applause. In the evening there was a grand Ball in the Town.hall and Guild-hall. Soon after ten o'clock the country dances were led off in the Town-hall by Lord STANLEY and the MAYORESS. The Hills were, as usual, crowded with youth, beauty, and fashion. At the Theatre the Play was Speed the Plough, which was very well attended, considering the at_ tractions of the Ball. The Farce was Two String-s to your Bow, in which MUNDEN, in Lazarillo, was the life of the Piece. THEIR MAJESTIES and four PRINCESSES, Att- GUSTA, SOPHIA, ELIZABETH, and MARY, left Weymouth on Wednesday, at seven o'clr•ok in the morning, on their return to Windsor through the Forest, to the no small regret of every person at that fashionable place ; and on the same day sailed the Royal Yachts and Frigates, so that in one day the scene was amazingly changed. The Royal Party breakfasted at Mr.BR xcKLEY'S, Manor. House, Minehead, and afterwards proceeded to Romsey. On their arrival at the latter place, they stopped at the White Horse Inn ; and whilst changing horses; Lady PALMERSTON, who is at Broadlands, presented them with baskets of fruit, by the hand of Mr. CAVE, the House Steward.— Passing through Winchester, they changed horses at the George Inn. The Troops of the Garrison .formed a line on each side of the road. - The bells rang, and the Inhabitants seemed highly gratified with a sight of THEIR MAJESTIES. They next proceeded to Hartford Bridge, where they dined at Demezey's, and arrived at Windsor that evening, in perfect health. The PRINCESS AMELIA returned by easy stages, through Winchester, changing horses at the White Hart Inn. In the afternoon Her Royal Highness arrived at the Star and Garter, Andover, accompa nied by Ladies CATHCART and CRANLEY, Lord WALS/NGHAM, General CARTWRIGHT, Colonel FITZROY, Major DESBROW, and a large retinue, where they dined and slept, and, after breakfasting the following morning, set off for Windsor.

The liberal dOnations of theihumane on Sunday last at St. John's, amounted td 721.—at the Neri,i, Chapel to 2sl.—of the Baptist Meeting to sl. Tbe other Colleaions round the Country for supporting the same laiidable Institution, were pro portionably beneficial. The Balloon niadness, ai fashion, dr folly, or whatever you please to call it; has appeared in this place. Indeed in such an age of Frivolity, it is to be expelled that every prevalent absurdity will be universal in its influence. On Monday last Dan delion attraled the great and little Vulgar to a scene of this kind. An Advertisement drew the Pe:pie together, and drew them in ; but to mend the Matter, two Balloons were announced at once. They were composed of Paper. The Company ainounted to about a hundred, at half-a-Crown a head, and most of 'them seemed to think that the price was too much by all the money. Mrs. JORDAN performed Amanthis in the even ing, and her theatrical art was very successful in :_,resenting The Child of Nature: Her Nell in The Devil to Pay, the same night, fully prevented the Audience from having the least regret at what t? -,e) , had to pay. This popular Aaress came for_ ward again on Tuesday in Violante and Roxalana, both of which deservedly received the hearty tri bute of general applause. On Wednesday morning we attended the usual invitation to Dandelion, and the Company were as numerous and as jocund'as ever: A Masquerade, at the Theatre, in the evening found ample employ: ment for all our Wits and Virgins. There was more than the usual variety of Charaaers on such occasions ; and, upon the whole, they were rather better supported,. , The House was full in all parts, and the Managers, consequently with so many Masks, were able to assume a good face. BETT ISON'S Room was opened on the same even ing for the reception of the Masqueraders. There was much Company,-with indiferent Charaaers. On Friday the Play-Bills - announced Mrs. JOE. DAN'S Benefit, under the patronage of the Dutchess of DEVQNSH I RE, a patronage much more creditable to her Grace than any Electioneering Canvass,which, we trust, was erroneously imputed to so bright an ornament of the Fashionable World. Mrs. JOR DAN on the occasion, performed Mrs. Behnour, in The Way to Keep Him, the elegant and pleasant Work of the venerable Dramatist, ARTHUR Mua. PHY ; and Little Pickle, in The Spoil'd She sustained both Charaaers with true comic spirit. The Huuse was an overflowing Bumper, and was graced by many titled visitors. On Saturday the Master of the Ceremonies an nounced his Benefit at Dandelion. The weather not being very favourable, his expelled profits are adjourned to a more propitious day. In,the evening a poor man who was driving a wag_ gon laden s with timber, unfortunately seated him self on the shaft, and alighting in haste to manage the fore-horse, his foot slipt, he fell—the wheels went over his body and head, and immediately put an end to his misery. We are extremely concerned to hear that his wife had, in the afternoon, been brought to bed. She is now a disconsolate widow, and is mother of six or seven children. To turn from this melancholy subjeCl, we were invited by advertisement to another balloon in the evening. It was to be an illuminated balloon, and was to ascend at the Prospect Bowling-green. Hun. dreds attended ;, but some evil-disposed persons stabbed, and so materially injured, the Balloon, that the expeCtations of the company all vanished ;n fumo. Mrs. JORDAN the same night took leave for the season, in Biddy Tipkin and Lady Racket; and such has been her success, that she made ‘! a golden set." DISCOVERY.—A Correspondent informs us, that among the Dorset Papers which are preparing for publication, two original Letters of SHAKESPEARE have been recently discovered. They are addressed to his great friend and patron, THOMAS Lord BACK_ HURST, Treasurer to King JAMES I. The authen ticity of the two Letters is unquestionable. . They are dated in 1606 and 1607. Mr. McGirr has just returned from Paris, where he has been making engagements for the Opera_ House. The good sense, enterprizing zeal and ur banity of this Gentleman, augur l'ety favourably for the future success of the undertaking. It is doubtful whether VESTRIS will be permitted to visit this Country next Winter. It is certain that MARCHES' will be prevented, by his engage ment at Milan. WINTER, a German Composer of considerable merit, is now at Paris. He is to employ his talents on two new Operas and two new Ballets for the King's Theatre next Season. Maugre his name and his Country, he is said to be a Composer of an ardent genius. The Bathing Machines at Brighton, are, it seems, in a state of great requisition. To many this may prove as fatal to the Constitution, as the Trip to Brighton generally is to the pocket. The Company at Brighton must now contrive to amuse themselves, for raffling is. excluded from the Libraries, and the Pic-Nics are going to perform at the Theatre. At the last Kent Assizes, a man was convkled of the crime of picking pockets. It turned out, indeed, upon the trial, that they were pockets of Hops; hut unfortunately for the Prisoner, they were the Pockets of another. As Mr. JONES and Mr. Rocson are both disen. gaged from their Senatorial Toils, it was lately proposed by the former, that they should make a Tour through Egypt, and remain for some time at El-Arish. Mr. ROBSON, however, declined the party, observing, that he could not converse fa miliarly, with the Natives, because he did not un derstand GretA thbiA PAPEk. EXTRACT OF A Lii.CLAitATION Oi TNT 6LiV OF FORT ST. GEORGE, DATED 3 tst JULY fBo6 BY AND WITH THE AUTHORITY OF ;Its EXCO.- LENCY THE MOST NOBLE nit dovtftmott... GENERAL IN COUNCIL. " An alliance of the togt intithate •itniari ant friendship has long subsisted betWeert the Hon; the English East india',Company, and the Family of their Higlinesse6 MAHOMNIED ALLY and OMDUT tir. Omir.:Ft, late Nabob of the Carnatic PAYEN GFiALiT By the aid of that allifinze his late Highness MA. HOMMED ALLY was enabled, under Providence; td' support his pretensions to the possession of the' Carnatic at the death of his illustrious father; to defeat the pdwer of his enemies in Arms, and finally to establish his authority in The Government of Arcot and its dependencies; oil the foundations of the British Power: " For the defence and Proteaion of the Vain. ble possessions thus acquired by the united arms of the English Company and of the NAB dB Of - ARCOT, various treaties and obligations- have been esta: blished, by which it was intended 1111 t the inte: rests, security, and polder of both Parties in the Carnatie PAYEN GuAtr, should be cemented and identified. In conformity to the faith and spirit 'of these engagements, the Hon. Company has in_ variably applied, not only the resources derived • from that alliance, but the whole power of the British Empire in India, to maintain the Govern ment of the late Nitt.o . ll3 of the CAR NiITI C against all their enemies, and has caused them iv tlc nc knowledged by Foreign States as the Allies of the British Nation. By these means, and by the unabated exertion of its whole power, the English Nation was enabled, during the war which conti.• nued from the ye,4l . 'l7BO to the year 5783, to support the pretensions of the Nabob MAHomz.tED ALLY, and to rescue his Dominions from the vio lence of HYDER ALLY KHAN', and of his Successor TIPPOO SULTAUS, who, by the assistance of the French Nation, had been enabled to conquer a considerable part of the Carnafic, and to establish their authority over the greatest part of the Terri: torial Possessions of the said Nabob. [The Declaration then continues to state, that a Treaty was entered into in 1787, to proteil the Territories of the Allies, for an annual subsidy : that the English Company charged itself with the administration of the Civil Goverrinient,in addition to the military defence of the Carnatic - : that at the conclusion of the war in 1792, the 'British Government restored the Civil Government to his Highness, thereby manifesting the stridest ad herence to the stipulations of 1787; and that the Governor-General, upon the representation of MAHOMMED ALLY, relieved his Highness from the burthensome terms of that engagement, for the purpose of promoting the tranquillity, interests, and comfort of the Nabob MAHOMMED ALLY.] " With this,liberal vises of the principles of the connexion established between the British Govern. merit and the NABOB of ARGOT, an indulgent mo. dification of the Treaty of 1787 was framed ; and by a subsequent Treaty, bearing date in the month of July, 1792, the pecuniary contribution of his Highness the NApos of the CARNATIC, towards the general defence and protection of the rights and possessions of the Allies, was diminished from fifteen to nine lacks of star pagodas. The spirit of mo deration by which the British Councils were guided in respell to this • alliance, was unequi, vocally manifested by a farther stipulation, for the purpose of securing to the Nabob OMDUT UL OMRAH, the Son and Presumptive Heir of the Na bob MAHOMMED ALLY, the succession to the Terri. tories of his Father, on the terms and conditions of the Treaty of 1792. ".Under these circumstances the British Govern- • ment might justly have required from the House of MAHOMMED ALLY, not merely the exalt and rigid observation of the Treaty of 1792, but a zealous and cordial attachment to the spirit of an engage ment, under which the Nabobs of the Carnatic have found the most ample proteCtion, accompanied by the most indulgent and liberal construflion of every stipulation favourable to their separate interests, and by the most lenient relaxation of those penal articles, the obligation of which their Highnesses had reSpedively incurred by violating the Article of the Treaty. of 1792, relative to the grants of Tuncaws, or assignments of revenue on the Dis_ trids pledged to the Company. " It is with the deepest concern that the Gover nor in Council is compelled to declare, that those ancient Allies of the Company, the Nabobs MA. umsitmEo ALLY and OMDUT UL OMRAH, have been found not only deficient in every aftive duty of the alliance, but unfaithful to its fundamental .prin ciples, and untrue to its vital spirit. "In the full enjoyment of the most abundant • proofs of the moderation, indulgence. and gonri faith of the Hon. company, the Nabob MArrom. MED ALLY and the Nabob OMDUT UL OMRAH, adually commenced and maintained a secret inter course with TIPPOO SULTAUN, the determined enemy of the British name, founded on principles and direfled to objeds utterly subversive of the alliance between the Nabob of the Carnatic and the Company, and equally incompatible with the security of the British Power in the Peninsula of India. " After the fall of Seringapatam, the British Government obtained possession of the original re.. cords of TIPPOO SULTAUN: the correspondence of that • Prince's Ambassadors during their residence at Fort. Sr. George, in attendance on his sons, the hostage Princes, in the years 1792 and 1793, esta blished sufficient ground of apprehension, that their Highnesses the late Nabob iVIAHOMMED ALLY, and the late Nabob °moor t L OMRAH, had en tered into a secret intercourse with the late TIP_ coo SULTAUN, of a nature hostile to the British interests in India. The inquiries of the British Government have been since direded to ascertain a fad so intimately connected with the sem icy of its rights in the Carnatic. The resait has established the following propositions by a series of connected, written and oral testimony. " xst. At the very period of time when the Nabob MAHOMMED ALLY appealed to the gene rosity of the British' Government for an indulgent
