The punning Wits of Paris, since the mils that BONAPARTE direaed to be cooked for the unfortunate Bouaßasis, have changed the name of Carrot Soup to that of Soup a /a CoRsE. BONAPARTE, in the pride of Imperial sway, will probably take no more notice of the poisonous Plot at Warsaw thin he did of Sir RoaFat WILSON'S Narrative of his der/levy to the Turks at Jaffa, and of the savory fare he ordered for his own sickly troops in the same quarter.

It is said by the Poet that " None but a u zDEAS should attempt a lovz ;" and it may be truly observed, that .the very first_ rate abilities should be employed on this occasion, in order to represent a Nobleman whose prompti tude, judgment, and perseverance, have eminently cimtribut , td to the security and augmentation of our Errpire in the East. Mr. WYATT has been employed in raising a grand Gothic Castle at East Cowes, in the I s le of ‘Vight, for Lord HENRY SEYMOUR. _ _ One of the Public Prints describes Mrs. THORN_ lox, the fair Racer, as an " elasticfigure." This is perhaps the first time that the word elastic was so applied; hut such a use of it may be justified by what Rithard says of the fair sex : " They'll bend, indeed, but he must strain that cracks them:'' Mrs. THORNTC)N, by all accounts, acquitted her self very ably in her sfuettrian competition ; but she unluckily discovered that Flint was too hard for her. It has been whimsically said, in relation to the vast sours of money which have been won at York, by those who betted against Mrs, THORNTON, that that they have found Flint to be the nihropher's A Balloon was announced fot ascent last night at ' Bermondsey Spa. The place was decorated in the style of the leuxhall Gala:, and upwards of 1000 persons attended, in hopes of witnessing the aerial speelacle. The Balloon was composed of paper, was 6o feet in circumference, and was to take its departure at ten. The Company from that time manifested great impatience. At length, about eleven, it was prepared for its excursion ; but the moment it was thing, it took are, and all the ex. peamions of the crowd vanished in famo.

The EMPS- Rott, and other bra nches of the Royal Family, hive testified their admiration of her great vocal p.)wers by magnificent, presents ; and all ranks have followed her uith zeal--a strong proof that the Russians have a s•)und musical taste. The late Mr. iVlArrocKs has left a daughter by his wile, a very accomplished young Lady, who is married to a Gentleman of the Bar. Miss MENAGS, it is said, has recently entered the Hymeneal pale with a young Artist of respela. ble charaBer arid talents, who has,been some time attending to her with a SHARP look-out.

The figure of Death introduced at the Margate Masquerade, was founded upon a similar character assumed by Culonel LUTTIRIL, many years ago, at one of the Masquerades under the direetion of the celebrated Mrs. CORNELY, in Soho.square. The Colonel appeared like a skeleton in a coffin j merri. ment was at once scare►f away, and most of the Ladies ran screaming out of the room. The follow. ing inscription appeared upon the lid of the coffin : " Mortals attend ! this pale unseemly spcilre, Three Moons ago, was stout and plump as Heaor ; CORNELY'S t AI.P4ACK'IS, and the COTIlli i t Caus'd, in the bloom of life, the change you see: . _ Oh ! shun Harmonic Routs, Mask'd flails, and Midnight Revel.

Hts MAJESTY looked extremely well, and was in high spirits.. The DUXE Of Cifl4l3 tELAND followed his Royal Parents in a short time after they were gone. ANDOVER.AUG.2;.—In consequence of the expec. tati , n of the ROYAL FAM I LY stopping in this town to supper, every exertion was made by the inhabitants to put on the best appearance. The church hells were put in repair ; the flag on the church steeple, after un dergoing a repair, was hoisted; and the exertions on .the part of the Landlord of the Star and Garter Inn, to entertain the Royal Guests which he was about- to be honoured with, far exceeded every one's expeitation ; and his preparations for their re ception soon reached the ears of the neighbouring Gentry, who flocked in great numbers in the course of Friday to see the preparations that were made in :the Great Room, on the first flour, for the re ception of the ROYAL FAMILY to supper ; and the fair ones who visited the house appeared highly gratified with the style in which the cloth, 'Sec. were laid, for the reception of the ROYAL FAMILY. About a quarter past seven ,o'clock, the Royal Cavalcade arrived at the Star and Garter Inn.— THE I it MA J (MIES arrived first, in their travelling post-chariot, which drew up under the gateway. His MAJ ESTY appeared in most excellent spirits, and handed HER MAJESTY our of the carriage, with the greatest gallantry, and cautioned her against the. number of steps. HT4 MAJasTY, on his entrance into the house, ordered tea immediately, and supper to be ready at nine o'clock. During the short stay of the ROYAL FAN!! t.s- in this house, they became particularly attached to a child about three months cld, who is very beautiful, and by whose charms the Pat NC ESSOI appeared particularly attraded ; the PRI SCIIiiS EL IZAB 'rH, who is very much attached to children, gave it many a hearty kiss. The Lar.11,...d nut being so particular to time as Hrs MAirtrv, detained the Royal Party after the appointed supper hour. His MA J ESTY ordered the carriages at ten o'cick, but on account of the supper being later than the time ordered, the Royal Party were not ready. About half past ten o'clock all the Royal Party, except the Dui t of CAMBRIDGE, the PRINCESSES MART and AMR- L lA, who slept here this night, left us for Wey. mouth. _ _ AUGUST 26.—Yesterday morning, about eight o'clock, the DUKE Of CAM B R lUG E, the Pit IXC EASES MAZY and AMELIA, atter taking bre.ikfast, left this town for Weymouth.

The Legion having gone through some evolutions, the Light Horse'filed Of at the bdttom of the town, the Heavy over the Sand opposite the Esplanade, to make room fur the Sumersetshire litia, who, with the Weymouth Vulunteers, formed a line in Gloucester row, and the, word being given by General MUNRO fur the KING; the Bands of Music playing; the QusEt4 and PRI NC E +SES were at the windows of Gloucester Lodge the whole time; the KlNc's Bind of Music also playing op. polite the house; the Krt , to seemed highly pleased, talked with the Officers of the different Regiments and the Officers belonging to the Royal Yacht, which lay in the Bay ; alter which the FAMILY came out on the Esplanade, and stood while a Royal Salute was fired by the Ships in the Bay. The KING, on going, spoke to the people who sur. rounded him, telling them to depend on the wooden walls of Old England. In the evening the whole town was illuminated ; HARVEY'S Library was the grandest fire.works on board the Ships and on the Esplanade; all the beauty and fashion present-- town very full—no lodgings or houses to be got. On Sunday the ROYAL FAMILY went in state, to attend Divine Service at the Church. AUG. 26.—The ROYAL. FAMILY, after attend. ing Divine Service, weot in three carriages, and embarked on hoard the Royal Barge, steered by Sir HARRY BURRARD NEALE, and went on board the . Royal Solvrtirs Yacht ; the ROYAL FAN!
