The People in the Naval-yard are like wise deserving of praise, for the very great exertions they made in getting the anchor and cable into the boat, which was efleCted with that dispatch to be equalled only by their zeal for the good of His Majesty's Service.

INSTALLATION BALL.--The Ball to be givers by the Knights of the Bath will certainly he one of the most splendid ever witnessed in this country ; but many of our first Nobility not having a personal knowledge of the Knights, are likely to be kept away for want of tickets. Each of the last install. et! Knights has 6o tickets, out of which he pre sents ten to the Queen. For these, each Knight subscribes 2so guineas to defray the expences of the Ball, and is liable to be called on for a further sum, The Knights who were previously installed, have each six tickets free of expence.

FRENCH MISMORIAL. Wi this day present • to. otir Readers n't“ , t cu' duns Paper, which .IViVi presented by TALL Vl'. RAND to BONAPARTE in the 4norith of ljecember last, advising him against going to war with this Country. It proves two very interesting fatis—lt skews, iii the first place, that BONAPARTE'S mind; as long ago al December last, was bent upon 'Way, and it demon strates to us the dangers we . have. escaped by - the War which is nbw begun. It proves besides, how well acquainted TALL Eli RAND seemed to be, not only with cur National Charaiter, but with the policy which our Government was likely to pursue. How unfortunate that has been, in our Nava/ Depro...;exrt more espeCially, we believe is now pretty 'obvious to the most unobservant of our countrymen. EXTRACT FROM A MEMORIAL PRESENTED TO THE CHIEF CONSUL, RY TALLEYRAND, THE 13TH FRIMAIRE, YEAR Xl. DEC. 4., 1802. TALLEYR AND begins by telling the First Consul that the present Memorial is merely a copy of one pre sented to the Ntlnisters of Louis XV. after the Peace of Aix-la-Chapelle, to dissuade them from that fatal and dishonourable War to France which ended in t 762. He says, "by the ignorance of the Mini stersi the bribes of Austria, the intrigues of Ben. nis, the influence of Pompadour, and the weakness of Louis XV. those strong reasons for Peace were not listened to; the consequence is known, but it is not known that this impolitic War alone prevent ed the total ruin of England during the follotiging or American War, and preserved that Country from being what, if we are prudent, it sooner or later must be, an invaluable Naval and Military Station of France, and which shall secure us the Empire of the Wotld." • TALLEYRAND then enters into the particulars of the many and irresilale means, France, during the Peace, possesses " to foment troubles, to spread discontent, to tarnish the honour, to undermine - the resources, tO weaken the strength, to lull asleep the public spirit, anti to cool the patriotism of the Inhabitants of the British Empire, and by a gradual train of intrigues, insults, demands, insurreElior►s, vexations, murmurs, alarms, and bankruptcy, pre. pare even the warmest English Patriot, to see with indifference, if not with approbation, an Union with France, which will put an end to all difficul ties, and procure Englishmen the same tranquillity, honour, and happiness Frenchmen enjoy under the mild but firm Government.of the Chief Contul." But," says he, " powerful as France is upon the Continent by its conquests, by its influence, by the vigour of its Government, and by the vielories of its Armies ; in regard to England it is not in a better position of strength than in 1755; because, with the knowledge of our means, and with t 4 great abilities of our Ruler, we are una bl e diredly to injure England, our Navy being more minted, and our Naval Officers mule ignorant than. in 1755, but indiredly, and in a time of Peace to lay the infallible foundation for the future suhjeaion of England, France at no former period had so many certain and undoubted under-hand methods. A War at present may lessen, if not destroy them, but every yearrs continuance of Peace shall preserve, augment, and fix them. '' Ought we not to wait,' at least ten years, be. fore we renew the War with England ? till we are in a condition effcelually to support our claims, our views, and our plans ? The English will do our business, if we permit them. Their Religion is pleasure, and their pleasure debauchery. 'They have plunged themselves into an excess, of luxury and intemperance. They have .begun to neglect? their Nav, and to disband their Artificers, who go to France, Spain, and Holland for maintenance. ti While their individuals squander their riches, the State'grows parsimonious, and begins to save . is those articles on which it cannot be too profuse. og They are even near reducing their trivial Army, and their Patriots speak' of entrusting, what they call their. Liberty and Property, to the 'valour of a Militia. What a field is this for our policy ? Is it our business' to awaken or arouse them from their lethargy ? If we do, the consequence is obvious— We teach them to believe a real truth, ' That they cannot strengthen themselves too • much' by sea or land.' '`then an Army ceases to be the ohjecl of public complaint, of public dislike—and the people begin to think that, as they must have one, it is better to have an Army of Enc/iib than of French. m e n. Thep their youngSohility will continue to apply themselves to the Military Profession, and think themselves honoured by that profession, in which alone consist the defence and security of their Country. cf This may be fatal, to us, .for : the sooner we go to War, the sooner 'their - efferninacy will wear off, and their antient spirit and courage: revive. They will not then become more wealthy, but they will get more wisdom, whiCh is better. The military virtues and the manly exercises may become fashion. able,.. and the Nation which now seems immersed in debauchery and corruption, may yet think seriously, and be once more what it has often been, the terror of Europe. This is not an unnatural supposition- 7 they easily glide from one extreme to another—it is their natural temper, and their whole history is one continued proof of it. gi The ashes of La Vendee still smoak-7it re quires only a spark to kindle ticivil war in the bosom of our Country. The returned Emigrants are as vet quiet, but they hav e no t f orgot t h eir f or . • • mer principles, : and the wrongs they .have suffered from the Revolution. Let not a new War give the Bourbons an opportunity to remind them of it. The most dangerous of the . Bourbons reside in England ; let not the renewal of a War permit England to use them, their name and influence, to trouble and in. vade France. • , 4 We command at present all .the Continental Powers ; but %cie know they : . carry, with disgust and complaint, the letters we have imposed.—Let nor a War with England give them occasion to shake them off, and to command us in their turn. " The general weakness and &upinenesi that for ever attend itninolerate wealth and: luxury, .hide horn the English the kn'nwledge of their own real powcr v and L interest. Suffur `11;m riot to re"..pce into irtueind urn:crst,:nding. pl unge :h e w n o t too into difficul t i es , and 41;ty ‘t never emerge front folly into real wisdna l ,„ W e b ‘ tVe, aiceady isolated :hem treat the Con tinental.

" Leave 11.4, ? iir "'flier, and they will . soon re. turn to their Ananeme its of hellions, Races, Party, and F.ittion—Lemve them in Peace, and their Mi. sisters must be dircded by popular clamour, which, we can alwaya excite and encourage.—Leave them in Peace, and their Navy will once more be laid up to rot, and their Seamen and Artificers once more turned over to iis, to Spain, and to Holland I—, Leave them in PenCe and the greatest part of their Army will soon be reduced, and the small remains will soon become a mere Militia in pay. - ---Leave them in Peace, and we shall not fear thedefeelion of Russia, or Prussia, or any of our present Allies, which otherwise would much hurt and perhaps ruin our present System.—Lea4./e them in Peace, and they will never think of schemes for increasing their population, or for making every part of their Milli. nions of real use to every other.—Leave them in Peace, and most of their Nobility and Gentry will continue to squander away amongst us their great riches, and augment otir resources, to enslave their Country.—Lrime them in Peace, and before the year: xxv, France shall command the Departments of the Thames, and of the Tweed, as it already does the Departments of the Rhine and of the Pe. " Pursue, Citizen Consul, this plan steadily, for ten or fifteen years,. constantly direeting, the riches of the Country to the raising a Navy, equal or superior to.

By what appeared in eVidence, .the Prnsecutot had lost the Pocket-book aml Notes hi quest - on the night of the 28th of April, in the Pit Passage of Covent Garden Theatre. One or mere of the Bills had been traced to the Prisoner, endorsed with the name of Jollett, and some with the addition of his own. However, Rs there was no evidence, that the Prisoner had been in the Pit Passage af.Covent Garden Theatre that evening, or even seen near it, ie was presumed by the Court, that flit property lalti been previously in the possession 'of jollert, who had absconded. The Prisoner had immediately • come forward and said, he had got the. notes in question from jollett.—i±: was thereforti - „,onder the presumption in his favour above stated, not put upon his defence, and of course a verdict of acquittal was pronounced.

The account transmitted a few days ago from Plymouth of so many of our Artificers and &amen being.employed at Brest, if true, iv of the most me.. ianchuly anti alarming nature. It would certainly lit beComing in Parliament to investigate the ori. ginal cause of this National misfortune. A new Literary Establishment is about to be farmed at Aberdeen, on the plan of the Atheneurlk at Liverpool. • JOHNsToNa, according to Green-room report, is engaged for next season at Drury-lane Theatre, and Mr. Sit RkiliAN 'NA promised' to write some new Irish Chareugers in order to afford suitable employment to. his talents.
