This day THEIR MAJ ES and the PRINCESSES came to Buckingham I-louse from Windsor, for the Winter .Seasim. To-morrow evening they honour Covent-Garden Theatre with their presence, to see The Mail of the World, and the new Pantomime.. • Sunday next is fixed for General ANDIMOSSY.3 first Public Dinner. Mr. ADDINGTON, , Lord lis.wxlsainty, all the Cabinet Ministers, and Vu. reign Ambassadors are invited. The preparations are of the most splendid kind,. and the Entertain. nient will be cwduded on a large and magnificent. scale. Several superb table decorations in plate, and fancy-work, have been recently transmitted from Paris. , . We understand there it no immediate prOspen of the final adjustment of the claims of the British Cre ditors on the French 'Funds, which, according to the Treaty of Amiens,were to be satisfied by the Govern. ment. The property of this kind, when sequestrated at the commencement of hostilities, .was certainly considerable, and the claimants are numerous. it however, but fair to observe,' that no material ob. strudions have been thrown' in the way of the. Set, tlement by the French Government. They have been rather occasiooed by the complicated nature of the: demands, and the difficulty of satisfying them, from the very difftrent turn which the Public Funds have taken in France, Representations upon this subject have been made by our Ambassador at Paris, and attended to with resped and deference ; but . the difficulty of bringing the matter to a satisfaaory issue arisen more out of the welt of a clear and precise mode, than out of any unwillingness on the part of the Frenclt Government. A proposal, calculated to give satisfadion to the Creditors, will, we hive reason to think, be shortly communicated to them by Ministers, if agreed tu, will be transmitted in an racial form to the First Consul. It is reported that the French Government have. resolved tO establish, at a place called Turf /kw, at the mouth of the Scheldt, a new Military Harbour of immense importance. It is to consist of a port, mtval arsenal, or dept, where naval equipments can carried on upwitie largest scale, and where a Fleet etm always lie in safety. The point has, it is said, been snry eyed by the first Engineers of France, is supeipsed to be extremely advantageous for the ptirposestntendeti• If it be true that the FIRST Co WAIL is soon to visit Belgisim'and Antuert, it may he with a view of taking a survey in person of this position, `We undermana, by a private letter received from Bombay, cretland, that the Btovnit of SOMBRE is preparing an li;4etlition against the ltohillas, who are said to be in force to the amount of zo,ooo loot, and 400 Seik horse; they have already had adion, and advaoced so near as to be within teach of each others grape. The Rohillas; after a ShOrt resistance, gave way, having four or five hun dred Wiest and wounded on the field of battle. Three,Battalions under the 'command of Captain have been sent by General PERION to the BedtiVe3 assistance, who crossed' the river called the. Caullee Nuddee, where she remained waiting for succoers, and kept her, position as a kind of wet ditch between her and the Enemy.

AI ARG ATE, P.N. 10. TH IS evening, about six o'clock, the Aaive, of Greenock, Captain Hottrsns., a fine new West India 'ship,.of 30 tons 'burthen, laden with 300 hogiheads of sugar, &e. bound to Greenock, part ed from her anchor in the Roads, .and came ashore within about half a mile of the Pier Head, where she soon sunk ; but owing to a tremend ous surf, which, with the advantage of tide, soon completely rolled over her, our skilful Seamen were um6le to put off to her assistance ; nor was there any possibility of discovering, from the faint glimmerings of the moon, whether the crew had left her. Atter ,the ica had made a complete breach on her wcather.side, she drove in . shore, with her fore and tnizen‘masts standing, upon the Nayland Rock, at three o'clock in the morning ; to which fortunate circumstance may be attributed the safety of part of the Passengers and Crew, who, had she remained where she first struck, would, in all probakility, .have'perished. As far as we have been able to dis cover, they consist of nineteen persons, and from lashing themselves in the shrouds, ten out of the nineteen were saved. Five perished in the main. top, by the falling of the mast ; one lad .was washed overboard, and three were taken from the rigging, Who perished by the spray of the sea, and from the inclemency of the weather'. Every means of resus_ citation on them were used by Mr. SLATER, a Sur. geon of this place, without sUccess. Among the survivors are the Captain, Mate, and Pilot. A Dutch boy, I.lden with 1 200 bags of „wheat, bound from Amsterdam to Lisbon, parted Clem her anchors, and came ashore under the cliWs, °flitch inton ; the crew and cargo saved, and the vessel likely to be got off. A Hastings or Rye Huy, in ballast, also shared the samelate, and lies very near the Dutchman.— Her crew saved themselves by taking to their boat, and there is reason to believe that the Vessel will be got off with very little damage. The Atedant e of i 8 guns, Captain MAPSFIRLD, was paid off in Hamottze, last Saturday, and her crew discharged. • Captain MARS,FIELD immedi ately re-commissioned her, and Seamen already en ter fan for her ; she has been the most" fortunate ship since the War of any of the cruisers against the .:Smugglers, having , captured eight sail with nearly zooo tinkers of spirits, besides bale goods ; 'each Seaman has shared more prize money in the last six months than his wages have amounted to. `His Majesty's ship Clyde, Capt. LAtimouit, of 39 guns, stationed between Yarmouth and Leith, is arrived in Grimsby Roads, for the purpose of enter ing volunteer seamen. On Saturday Morning early a sloop, employed as a lighter, and loaded with stones for the hew dock at Leith, get a-ground at the back of the' South Pier, and the wind increasing, with a heaVy surf, at the return of the following tide, she was completely wrecked ; but the sails being previously taken ashore, were, with a part of the rigging and materials, saved. It blew very hard on Sunday night, accompanied with a heavy sea, and the gale continuing to increase, the high water of Sunday's tide exhibited a scene seldom Wit messed there. The prodigious roaring surf without, composed of continued breakers, and. sometimes rising , higher than the top of the Light-house, being interrupted in its progress by the angle of the North Pier, tolled into the Harbour with irresistible impetuosity, anti occasioned such a violent commo. tion amongst the shippiog, that many of them sus. wined damage by their ropes breaking, and from some of the mooring rings being torn from the-pave ment ; and several, to secure their ships, were obliged to bring on• shore anchors, and fix them in the street, and in the doors of some of the houses. In the Sand Port there was a prodigious swell, two sloops were sunk, and others received considerable da ridge. The Edinburgh Paper of Monday, received this morning, contains the whole of the Evidence on the Trial before the High Court of Justiciary at MI. hurgh.—At two o'clock on Sunday morning the Jury were inclose.l, and were expeded to return their Verdid on Monday at two o'clock. The fur. they derails of this, interesting Trial we shall lay before our Readers To-morrow.

Tiiz-Coinedy of She Wou'd and She Wou'el:Not, was to have been represented last night at this Thea. t re, but on account of Miss POPE'S indisposit ion; the Tragedy of Othello was the substitute. The disap. pointmeitt, if indeed the Public could feel any disap pointment in having one of SHAKESPEARE'S best Pieces, was by no means injurious to the Theatre, which had a very numerous Audience. The merits of POPE and his .Wife in the unfortunate Moor, and the injured Dedemona, are too well known to re. quire any additional comments.—ln consequence of sudden illness Mrs. Pow Eta. could not perform Emilia, and the part was assigned to Mrs. HAIL. LowE. Covent.Gardem, COOK E'S representation of Sir Pertinax, in The Man of the IVlrld, is so excellent a performance, that otten as he has appeared in it, it increases in its attraCtion. Notwithstanding the severity of the weather, he drew a very large audience last night. He atled with admirable spirit, , and powerfully exercised the risible muscles of his auditors.—We will nor, however, pretend to say that Harlequin's Hateas had not weight in the attraaion, as the motley hero has always a potent ascendancy at this time of the year. When the PRINCESS CHARLUTTR of WALES was at dinner with her Governess, a few days ago, at the Queen's Lodge in Windsor, a fine loin of veal, with a kidney in it, was brought upon the table. I should like to cat some of that kidney," said the Princess. • " That I cannot grant," replied the Governess, " for if I do, it will prevent your growing." The little Princess was silent for a mo ment, and then beckoned to one of the attendants, and said, " What a deal of kidney your wife must have eaten when she was young." It is scarcely necessary to add, that the person alluded to is of a very diminutive stature. A Bail and Supper was given by Lady .NORTH. ' WICK on Thursday last at Northwiek Park, at which the following company were present :—The Earl and Countess of GALLO wXy, the Ladies CA. ROL INE and SOPHIA ST.EW ART, the lion. Colonel STEWART, the Hon. JAMES STEWART, Mr. and Lady ELIZAB ELH INGE, the Hon. Mr. GREYIL, Sir Jottri and Lady DASHWOOD, Mr. and Mrs. MOIL ANT GALE, Mr. TOWNSEND and Family, Mr. and Mrs. DAWKINS, Mr. and Mts. MARTIN, Mr. WEST, tWO Mr. CANNINGS, Mr. HIPP KSLE`i, with many others of the neighbouring Gentry, amounting ,to about so, who sat down to supper at 12 o'clock. The good old custom of drawing King and Queen was not omitted, after which the, Dance was resumed with gr e at s pi r i t t ill f our o'clock, when the company separated. The latidable Institution for improving the situa. tion of the poor Infants who ate brought up" in the miserable employment of sweeping Chimnies, teems to have been inspired by the benevolent spirits of Jort A s HANW AY and Mts, MONTAGUE. When we' bee the name of ANORRSTEIN at the head of this meritorious Institution, we may be sure that s' ..the coldness of delay" will not'hang on it, but that, as it is founded in Humanity, it will be supported with zeal and perseverance. We are sorry to find that Mr. CHativrts, of Pall-114A, has been some time indisposed, but it is with much pleasure we inform his numerous friends, that his health is improving daily. Miss WOODFALL, who performed, Adelaide in The Count of Narbonne on Saturday last at Drury- Lame, with so much success, is just such an Attress as is wanted in that Theatre. Though it can boast of some good Aaresses, they ar e in general too much " declined into the vale of year's," to be proper representatives of the younger charaders in Tragedy. Mr. Fool', who lately performed hamlet in so creditable a manner at 'Drury-Lane Theatre, is to make his debut on the Bath Stage tomorrow in the charaCter of Abloei, under the friendly counte nance of Mt.

A French Authori•cif the name of BAitr IN, gives the following strange account of the word Isabelle, by whii* the French express the chm.co/our " in zbot, says he, when the Spaniard; attacked Ostend, at that time garrisoned by the Hollanders, Isabelle, the wife of the. Archduke At,, I itT, swore an Oath never to change her chemise till the City was taken, This Princess had the misfortune of being present at the siege, winch, notwithstanding her royal necessities, lasted for three whole years ; so that (says the French Writer) as f7tc may natural& con. eeirve, her iliOneWs chemise took aye/howirb tint. After the capitulation of the place, which presented nothink but a heap of ruins, the Ladies in the suite of the' Archduchess, in order to make their Court to her, adiipted in all their dress a half-colo uri • be. ,tween white and yellow, which, i n honour oftheir mistress, they called Labelle." The Didionaries have inherited it from the Maids of Honour, and nothing is now more classical than the term invented by this extraordinary obje4 of flattery JANUARY OZ. Sewed Whalley,. Esq. a Gentleman of stime env. nence in the 'sporting world, was indicied for ~e violent assaul t on t h e person o f Th on tas Gent. Attorney. The case was stated, on the part of the prosecu tion, by Mr. Cossr, who said he was extrerne a l. - sorry for the opp ortun i t y which 'this occasion .e' : forded him, of addressing the., Court and Jury. — The prosecution was broil& t — forward against the Trave rser , Mr. Whalley, who was. a Gen tleman of rank and fortune, well known to many present ; a Gentleman, from whose education and connexions in- life, it might have been ex. peded, no part of his conduit would have sub jetted hint to the charge this day brought against him. The Prosecutor, Mr. Thomas Haigh, a Gen tleman well known, and not less reSpeCtable ;n the line of his profession, es an Attorney; a Gentleman, of whose charaaer and conduct in life hesvieuld speak from his own personal knowledge ; and who, if it should appear that no part of his conduit hid justly provoked the treatment he had received from MV. Whalley, must.be considered as a man most severely and grossly ill-used indeed. Mr, Thomas Haigh was then called, sworn, and examined by Mr.ALLET. He proved that behadbeen employed as an Attorney, to draw deeds of partner. ship in the property of a Patent Medicine, between' the Rev. Mr. Barclay, and his son-in-law, Mr. Whalley, which latter Gentleman he had known abOue three years. That three several drafts of a deed. hid been drawn up, at his instance, by Mr. Plovedere t an eminent Conveyancer, to which Mr. Whelk,' made successive objedions ; and. from time to timf deferred the execution of the partnership, which in duced the Witness to remonstrate with, him, on he half of Mr. Barclay. In consequence of which, Mr. Whalley took some offence, which induced ' the Witness to decline any further interference iti the business. He came to the affair of the z6th of May last, when the'ground of this prosecution took place. He had previously furnished his bill df costs in this case; a nd h e atten d e d a meeting, hY desire of Mr. 13arc1ay, at his* house. As Mr. Bar clay sat on one side of the fire, and- the Wittle s S , on the other, Mr. Whalley shortly afterwards cant in ; and some few minutes being elapsed, he pulled.' out the bill which the Witness had ftirnisbed, and said he was glad to see the Witness there, 89 he might give some explanation on the items of the infamous bill he had charged. Witness an- • swered he had no objetion to give any necessary explanation of his bill ; but that was not the species of language in which lie had been accustomed to be addressed ; nor - was it becoming from one G en tle. man to another. Mr. Whalley replied, by calling him a rascal, ecoutolrel, and many oilier opprobrious names. To this Witness rejoined, such language was only becoming a stable-boy ;it was not 00 language of any man with whom he had been acCus. tamed to associate ; and it was beneath the notice of a Gentleman, and, therefore, he should pass it by with the treatment it deserved. Mr. Whalley then-stood up—scrossedbetween the Witness and the fire-e-repeated .hisopprobriotis language, in a manner . still more violent ; anti said, if Witness would not take the law, he would give him a sound threshings , Witness answered,' he must be mad to suppose ellet • one in his circumstances, deprived of the use Or ono arm, and in danger of far§e consequences from the slightest injury to that arm, would pit himself, personally, as an antagonist against a man of Mr. Whalley's robust and athletic strength ; certain ly he should take the law, if Mr. W. presumed 5 0 offer him any violence. Mr. Whalley then put his hand in such a manner as to press tine par; of it on the Witn ess ' s c hi n, an d the other parr WI ~, disabled arm ; h e wou ld not say with intent to hurt either. He put hid own hand against Mr. WhalleYs to guard his arm from injury, when Mr. W. in' SBttrailkitelY;lsl2:ldnd) 4 : n \ s V ta h n a t t i , y you scoundrel, do you dare to on strucktl clenched fist, a violent blow the Witness,,noseandh i mouth, t so as to b rea k a toot h i n the one, cut both , lips, and brin g t h e bl oo d fl ow i ng from his 003 e * The Witn ess t h en se i ze d the next weapon to h i m ,' which h a pp ene d to b e a can d lestick (a large piet a one with a square f oot , t h e f ellow to it was produced i n C ourt ), an d i n his lef`ence struck w twice at Mr. Whalley. ; he verily believed, that either blow, had it taken place (which, fortue nately for Mr. Whalley, and much to his own pre- 's sent sarisfadion, was not the case), would have been fatal. Mr. Whalley then seized a poker, and with it struck the Witness,. several severe blows oveL the right arm, while he endeavoured to defend his head and other arm ; arid afterwards Mr. Whalley being t r by some Means, deprived of the poker,, seized the Witness by the throat, against which ee violently pressed his knuckles ; and while he kept him in that manner with one hand, continued beating with the other fist about-his nose, mouth, and neer. . Witness said, that such was the situation of his left arts, from a former unfortunate accident, and so quisitely sensible -to every touch, that the slighrele shake must p ut hi m in the most i tnm ioent riik G f bursting an artery, and either bleeding to deaths or suffering immediate amputation. The sequence of the treatment he received from Mt' Whalley was, that he was three days confined t ° his room ill, and unable to take any other srlstc' nande than spoon.tneart his nose, mouth, and throat , were much =railed anti swelled ; the uvula con 9 i• den t * iefierned . and elongated ; anti his situatisen *eel!) , 'required. a much longer confinement to hi' room ; had not his professional duty unavoidablY obliged hind, 'on the fourth day, to attend a Statute of li.mkruptcy at Guildhall. _ _ Surgeon Hurst gave testimony to the injury Nif• Haigh .had sustaine d.. Evidence for the Crown being hire closed, Mr. SILVESTER addressed tl)e Court and It on behalf of hi s Clie nt , Mi. Whalley, and the" provmeded to examine - The Rev. Mr. Barclay, who corroborated Mr° Haigh's evidence up to the meeting at his hous e on the 16th of May ; but he could not swear whe ther, or not, Mr. Haigh had struck first. When M r ` Whalley stood with his back to the fire between Mr. Haigh and him, he heard him use abusive languor , and then he staggered two or three steps towards him, as if puttied by Mr, Haigh ; but he could not.sweat- I ti o M hii rte di da a Y! 1 0
