Yesterday the Duke and bitches, of GLOVCES.- TER gave an entertainment to the whole of the inhabitants of the 'unitary around Bagshot, to celebrate the joyful event of their wedding. The roads leading to the Park were thronged at an early hour with carriages of various descriptions, equestrians end pedestrians. There were various amusements, rustic, &c prepared for them. The cloth was laid for a thousand persons on the ,lawn, near the Royal Mansion. An excellent dinner covered the temporary table built for the occasion, to accommodate 6tich an immense num , her, consisting of good old English cheer, fine roast beef, and, excellent plumb-puddings, with very fine old ate. After the numerous assemblage had taken their seats, the happy Royal Couple, lam in arm, walked round the table to view the enjoyment of the country folks"; they all, with due respect were rising from their seats to pay their homage to the Duke and Duchess as they passed, with gratitude beaming on their emmtenences, for the royal bus• pitatity, but the Royal Pair insisted on their keep ing their seats, and not to disturb themselves on account of their presence, as they wished them to be lentufortable and happy, and to enjoy the day. the healths of the Duke and Duchess were drank with enthusiaim, with life and happiness to attend them. Several bands of music attended on the occasion, Hod after dinner the lads and lasses danced it merrily on the green and lav‘n. The assemblage consisted of yoking and old of all descriptions,. who were eager to shew their ardent attachment and respect to the Royal Pair, who are beloved by all ranks. Among the rest was an aged Lady, 98 years 'of age, who came in a chaise some distance, to pay her respects to tl►e Duke and Duchess, who appeared highly gratified with her journey, having the honour of speaking to the Duke and Duchess. Their Royal High nesses were marked in their attention to her. She drank their healths most heartily. The entertain' went wit kept up till a late hour. ' A private Letter from Paris, of Saturday morn= int o says, " The utmost vigilance is at present 4ket•ciaed to exclude English merchandise from this country. Examinations are as rigorously rnade as in the tjiiie of BUONAPARTE, and inspec ' tors for that purpose have been appointed, with the most extensive powers. This ne* system ii already felt as a hardship even by English passen gers.

A case of pistols, or - a fowling-piece, were allowed to pass in this manner ; but now a high duty is paid upon them . , and what is evi dently an abuse, the weight of the box in which 'They tilt 'contained is inclpded. The duty upon a small foWling-piece time anicuiiits to about two poundo. The object of the French Grivertinient 10 the encouragement of their:manufactures, which at present are in a deplorable state. The matini• factute of shawlcin imitation of those of India, has been recently calculated to produce not moil than one-tenth of the rijuilis of 1810; and the ' cotton manufacture of Mr. 16m-win, which iti Paris alone gave employment to 10,000 persons, is-nut, scarcely thought of." The pillory seems a favourite mode of punish ment in the French code ofjarisprudence. Hardly_ week passes in Paris without an exhibitiod of this kind. On Friday last, four females, 'loot of whose ages exceeded leiwere pilloried at the Con ciergerie.r—The Editor of the Gaiette de :home apologises for having, on a previous day, when he gave an account of an exhibition of this kind, termed the executioner of justice; the Italigninti (hourreau). lie says, he had forgot that an edict, of the King, dated the 12th of January, 1787, prohibited the application of that name to the cite eutiohert of criminal deciiiontl, The Permanent Taxes for the week ending Ail gnat 2,181 b.. eitceeded thilse in the chrrespOnding Ora of 1815 by 1,0741. ; but the imount ih the whole quarter ending August 2; 1816, was less than that of the corresponding quafter, in 1815, by 134,4511. Considering the state of trade. and the great deficiency of the quarter ending July 5, this latter stun May really be mentioned with sa "'meth:in. When a deficiency of several ntiliiuus has been expected f its the_ year, it is •matter for congratulation tb filid a period in which it bus been going on, at the'rate of 600.0001: The Aie e:rease in the WO Taxes in the period ending Au gust. 2, h st, has been nearly 1,200,000 t.; 'but we are tar frtpn mentioning that %vial tegret. The diminiition in that case arises front the abolition: of the Income Tax and of the War Malt Tax.--41 Taxes, the amount of which, especially of the .former, was merely a testimony of the severity of the inniition.

The desolation which surrounds you io the town of Cape Henry serves to keep alive this heeling, and is, on first lauding, perhaps, the most impres sive scene I ever witnessed.

The unfortu , nate pe ople tlitioselves are howover, said to be of an opposite opinion'; and a gibing expression used by smite terson in the soap:kitchen is said 6 haVe intitttliccl their to outrage. A crowd very soon cofteeted in front of the building in which the VOnting apparatus was placed, and shattered the windows and culinary utensils, and did other damage. The. affray had 'continued front about noon until four o'citick, when a party of the 78th Highlanders were taken front the barracks to the spot, accompanied by Patrick Playfair, Esq. and Robert Struthers Esq. Justices of the Peace, and Adjutant Dan's, of the recruiting service. The Military were ifflied, posted in front of Toshach's boost, and the usual meatis were adopted to in dime the Mob to disperse, the military loading their muskets,. &c. Tite crowd was , composed principally of women and young men; and at this time a stone or two were t hrowti at the soldiers, bat there was no spitit of opposition generally shewn. Before five o'clock another detachment of the 78th arrived, as did also about a dozen pri vates, along with a terjetot, of the .6th Dragoon 'Guar& Several 'Gentlemen joined the Justices, and sided *than to disperse ate crowd. About seven o'clock some stones were thrown at the soldiers. A young man was,•seized, and tinder military 'eseart Was sent to jail.

Two or three of the soldiers, ;tor the party consisted of only levet) or eight, endeavoured to stop the further progreis of the mob.
