Just before twelve o'clock the flames burst forth from a spacious building, for. merly belonging to the Monks of Sr. Louis, and now employed as a manufatiory. In the course of a short time this large building was burnt to the ground. Unfortunately, the flames communicated to the Church of St. Louis, which was totally con. sinned, the Tower failing io frith a terrible crash. Through the vigilatee of the Prefect, and others, the adjacent housts were fortunately saved, although the flames continued to rage till this morning. OTTERDAM I MAY 25.-4 have only time to inform you, that a law is about to be passed in Holland, enalling a severe corporal punishment, and in certain cases the punishment of death, for introducing into this Country any article of British ManufaCture. It is however, hoped, that this sort of severity will be of only a short duration, as SCHIMMILrINNINCK is understood to be very friendly to the Commercial Interests of Holland. P. S. I have this moment learned, that A Procla• Illation to the tate' exclusion of any Commercial Intercourse between England and Holland, will be published on Wednesday next. Thr lilvdteur of May 21 gives the following Letter from General ERIVetUr to His Majesty the Emperor, dated Head Quarters, from the Camp of Boulogne, twat. Basseterre, Guadeloupe, March rz, r3a, : " SIRE, " By order of your Majesty, and in spite of the numerous Fleets of the Enemy, a Fleet has made , its appearance at the Windward Islands. Its presence has increased our force, and we feel the most lively joy at the sight of the formidable sue. sours. Every where, in these Seas, is the flag of the English hurohled, and all their men of war hide themselves; their) trade is annihilated, and their merchantmen have sought security and protedion in Neutral Ports, since they did not conceive them. selves safe behind fortifications which surrendered as soon as they were attacked. This so utile as unexpeded Expedition fixed for the Colonies the period of your glorious accession to the Empire, and the true interest which your M tjesty has In all your people, whatever part of the Elfire they 11. ItAir. What-have we net to ex; en from the ft:. ture Your Majesty will deign to accept kindly the tribute of love, admiration, and gratitude, which I offer you in the name of the First Authorities, the Inhabitants, the Merchants, and the Military of Guadaloupe. I have the honour, Sire, with the deepest reverence, to subscribe myself, &c. 44 ILRVOUF.•• In spite of Episcopal admonitions, a certain Mar chioness gave a grand Concert on Sunday last in Manchester-sputre. It is much to be lamented that in these times, when Religion and Morality have by no means a strong hold upon mankind, the higher orders of society should hold forth any cx. ample that may tend to weaken their influence still more in the minds of their inferiors. Mrs. SIDDONS came forward again last night at Covent.garden Theatre in the Tragedy of The Mourning Bride, and performed the charmer of Zara with all her usual excellence. KEMBLe gave Othun in a masterly style. The Farce was Love ada.Mede, and the audience had abundant compen. sation for their melancholy sympathy during the Play, in the admirable humour of Coo=t's Sir Archy, and Lawh's Spire Groom. It is under.. stood last night was thc private benefit of Mr. C. ICsmat.s. There was a very numerous Audience. Master BETTY, it stem,, on his way to some of his Provincial Engagements, performed Y sung Nor. Val on Saturday, at Coventry, for the Benefit of his Theatrical Tutor, Mr, ROUGH, to whom he is chiefly indebted for his fame and fortune. This is an easy mode of discharging the long debt of gra. tirade and justice 1 The grand Drama of The Forty Thieves, which has been preparing with great magnificenco at Drury.lane Theatre, and to which it is said Mr. SHaRIDAN has given some invigorating touches, is not to be brought forward this season. ScittLtra, the celebrated writer, who lately died in. Germany, possessed great powers of imagination, but his mind was chiefly devoted to subjeas of the horrifil• gird, and as life is sufficiently produetive of evil, it were well if the whole race of such gloomy Poets were in him extinct. Admiral RAINIIIt, according to recent Letters from Bombay, having received information that the Dutch Admiral HAnTstucx was at Ouroosr, with four Sail of the Line, and two Frigates, became apprehensive for the safety of our homeward-bound Ships 'from Canton. He sailed in consequence fur the Straits of Siniapore, for the purpose of escorting them to Ceylon, where the ships are to rendezvous, and where a suitable force is in readiness to convoy this valuable squadron. It expeded to sail early in Match. In the course of last week, it is said, Mr. Justice Jolt:43okt sent his Patent, constituting him a Puisne Judge in the Court of Common Pleas, Ireland, to the Earl of HARDWICKI, tendering his resignation, and requesting, at the same time, his Lordship's recommendation of him to His MAJESTY, upon the ground of his bad health, and a large unprovided family. We understand ►hat Mr. Justice JoHmentr was► induced to take this step by the advice of the Lords Chief Justices DOWNES and NORauty. The Earl of HARDWICXE returned the Patent, observ. ing, that, under the present circumstances, he could nut accept his resignation. An alteration has taken place in the intended Royal Review of the Volunteers of Berkshire, His MAJESTY having signified that it is his intention of reviewing the whole of the'Cavalry and Infant. ry together, on Bullmarsh.heath, on Saturday the of June. His MAJESTY will be on the ground at twelve o'clock. The 83d Regiment, which was under orders for Canterbury from Guernsey, has been countermanded to disembark at Portsmouth, the Barracks which it was intended they should occupy at Canterbury he. ing now filled by the ad Battalion of the 95th Rifle Regiment. On Wednesday the first division of the Argyls. shire Militia arrived in Edinburgh from Dunhill and on Thursday the second division arrived. They are to be quartered in the Castle. Th e Second Shropshire Militia, commanded by Colonel Lvareit, marched into Gloucester, in two divisions, on Thursday and Friday last : and have since pursued their route for Bristol, where they are to he stationed for the present. Wednesday about 200 Volunteers marched into Winchester to join the 38th Regiment ; and about too more to join the 3111 Regiment now in barracks. An Hospital is to be built immedia; , :ly for the sick of Falmouth Garrison. It is to stand on the west side of the peninsula, immediately below the Castle of Pendennis. Ninety.twoSuldiera, Volunteers from the. Edit). burgh Militia, passed through Newcastle, on Thurs. day, to j:,in the isth Regiment, now lying at Scarborough. Saturday was gathered ins garden on St. Mi. chdel's Hill, Somersetshire, a cowslip, the stern of which was flat, and eleven inches high ; one inch in circumference, and which had Itz pips or blui. some an it. Several others were cut at the same time with 6o to 70 bud,. Yesterday sennight, between one and two o'clock in the morning, a melancholy accident happened at Lavenham, Suffolk :—As the Rev. Mr. Mew and his wife, of that town, were returning from vi. siting a friend about a mile from the above place, in going down the hill near the Swan Inn, the spring of the one.horse gig in which they were riding suddenly broke, when the horse ran away down the Hadleigh road, and in turning the corner towards Mr. Mew's residence, b ro k e down a fe n ce adjoining the dwelling of Mr. Bailey, carpenter, and ran his head through the wall of the house, by the sudden shock of which Mr. and Mrs. Mew were both thrown our, and the former falling on a atone, was killed on the spat.— Mrs. Mew was also so dreadfully hurt that peat apprehensions were for some time entettlined of her recovery.—An Inquest was taken before j:inies' Horton, Gent. Coroner for the Liberty of bury, crry the same day, when the Jury returned a Ventia of derides:al Oath, LONDON SECS IC'N'S. Yesterday the London Adittunrel Sessionl were held at Guil , ll4ll before the Recorder awl A! ler. men, when lace& a' fishm,inget in Late lane, Tharnes.street, was intlicitil for a tittilance, ing putrid ash, t o the anno ) ance the neig!lhour. hil t ed.

A request hein7 that the grievance miet be removed, the fentlant s.lid he could tt , ,t remove the stench, and that it was unavoichble in the progress of his bit. siness. It was stated that the introduittion of putrid fish into the Defendant's copper was attribiti,lbie to the Clerk of the Market, who negligently suff:te4 it to be sold. The RICOLDIR reprobated the praetice of sel. ling putrid fish at Billingsgate. He expatiated not the injury dune to the Poor and the Public by the sale of so vile a commodity, and intimated his intention of reporting the matter immediately to the Chief Magistrate, in order to have the abuse remedied. He also mentioned, that it was pr )per the Defendant should be made an example of, to deter others from receiving such fish ; after which the Jury found him guilty. The Defendant was ordered to he brought up fur judgment at the next Sessions.—The Jury wet• discharged. A singular instance of the wonderful strength and swiftness of the hare occurred a few days ago in Ireland. Mr. Sweetman's hounds, in going to the strand near Merry, where they are accustomed to exorcise, accidentally put up a hare near the rules of ICilbarriek Church ; being closely pressed, and the tide entirely out, she t :ok straight towards the sea, after running a considerable distance a.liead she doubled short, and made for Clontarf. B.ing still keenly pursued, and finding it impossible to reads the shore, she ran towards the Light-lmost! ; but stepped by the flowing tide, and' trighted by the delighted seamen, who m toned their stranded vessels to see the sport, she doubled back akin, entl the dry banks of the North Bull, until she gainzat the channel at Sutton. She then in . the molt 61 1 1.. ing style ran back her soil, and had nearly gain-3 the main land, when she dropped dead before the hounds. On the most moderate calcu!ation she could not have gone less than eight miles in full view of the whole pack. About two months since a burglary and robbery Was committed in the house of Mr. BUCKtitla IT. of St. Mary's, in Romney Marsh, attended with cir. cumstances of the most brutal and wanton ferocity ;. it will be now learned with much satisfaCtion, that the perpetrators of this daring outrage, after hi. therto eluding every search, have at length bean discovered, and are (four in number) committed t ir trial. At the time of the robbery sundry articles of plate were stolen, some of which were ye)ter_ day ae'nnight offered for sale by a man of the name of jam Wood, a grenadier of the East Icor Mi. fide, to Mr. Abraham Levi, of North-lane, Canter. bury, whose wife, from the marks on the same hay. ing been attempted to be obliterated, and from other suspicious circumstances, conceived herself j wale(' in 'detaining them, and told the man she would ad. vertise them, in order that, if theylhad been unjustly obtained, the legal owner might recover hi. Fru perry : in this Wood acquiesced, and said he would call on Monday, to see if any person had claimed them. In the interim, in consequence of an ad. vertisement, Mr. Buckhurst was induced to be. lieve that the articles therein tle , ctibed were a part of his property; and on application to Mr. Levi, on his arrival at Canterbury, found his conjectures verified : and Wood, agreeably to his promise, having called on Levi on Monday morning, was then taken into custody. On being carried before a Magistrate he made full confession, anti impeached three s o his cont. v i d eo , Jam Webb, Richard CIA, and Parr Lam. beet, all grcnadicts of the same Regiment to which he belonged, who were accordingly ceps rellentlett on the afternoon of the same day at htal.)Jrne Lees Barracks, and have since, together with Wood, been conveyed to the gaol fut the level of ittnnuy Marsh, at llytnahurch, Cook had w - raked for Mr. Bockhorn as a thrasher for the two last winters, and from the cm.le4 , ion of Wood, who has been admitted an evidence 1,0 the crown, it appears that he, with three others, lett the Barrack., at Braborne Lee+, on the evening of the Bth of March, -after 'roll call, that they reached St. Mary's, a distance ()labour t we; remilts. at midnight, and having effened their purpose, de parted at one o'clock on the follo..ving morning, and after biding the stolen property in a 1(3 tie about .4 mile trust 'the Lees, got into then bar racks again, without any suspicion of their haiv., ing been absent.
