The Mansion is already tom.ple te ly dismantled of its superb hangings and furniture. The improvements will he all in the an tique Grecian and Egyptian stile; they are saitl to be in a very forward state. The following are the talked of improvements. The principal Hall itito be entirely afterthe Egyptian taste : the noble co, knins are to be of porphry, with cornices of the tteet statuary, surmounted by Egyptian capitals: 7 — he frieze of the c -mice wil: be charged with hie. siglyphics ; the walls to be made into compartments by basalt stiles, comrosed of Egyptian black gra bite ; in each panne) will formed a square niche to receive an Egyptian bronze figure of ad. tairable workmanship.

It was nor before it became absolutely necessary, that the Pittway gave the order to his Architect to modernize the building, which His Royal High. t els delayed for a considerable time, anti, indeed, Wail it became absolutely , necessary from the cir iumstance of the hangings in all the printipalapari. clients haviPg given waYs and were also much discoloured. 'the intended alterations will pro , bably occupy six months ; from which circbmstance it is conjectured, that the Patties dues not intend to give, any Public binncts at Carleton.Huuse this Season. Mr. ALDEtthilAtt 130YDNI.L.—It is With Much 'egret that we announce the death of this venerable eharatter, who was nut only one of the chief props Of the BRITIIt Ants, but one of the chief sources of the fame and success which have attended those Arts in every part of the world. 'Through the Whole of his very meritorious life he may be consi. dered as a full illustration of the cliarkter of Ho. ClAttrii's Iniustriout Apprentice.----By diligence, so. briety, and prudence, he raised himself in life to the highest civic lion Jur, and " bore his faculties en tneeklys" that all who knew him respeCted his clia. ratter, and rejoiced in hit lICCe3S. But the virtues which we have mentioned were by no means the leading feature s in his charkier, which was also distinguish e d f or lib erality, and a ' spirit of enter. prize that has augmented the reputation of his country. His great nation a l work, THe SHAK" SPE Alt it GAL lit KY, arid the splendid edition of the Plays of our immortal Dramatist, will remain eternal monuments of his zeal for the Arts, and his regard for the honour' of his Country. 'in private life he was esteemettfor his probity, his patronage of Modest merit, and his faithful and affettionate fulfil. %tent of all relative duties. He preserved his facul ties in good order to the close of his advanced life, OM ended it with the tranquillity of a true Chris. II", and the consciousness of having concluded himself through his earthly pilgrimage with patr.i. Olism, discretion, and undeviating integrity. Yesterday mottling the Right Hon. the LAD MAYOR went in state from, the Mansion-House to the Schuol.Flouse in St. Mary Axe, and held a .iwartlmote for Lime.atrett Ward, to cleft an Al.

THOMAS 1611" "'"'"""" 1 " - Ft INC sy, Esq. was chosen without opposition. It is again stated that intelligence from Madrid, of the Bth ult. is received, in which it is mentioned that His Catholic Majesty was disposed to twirl from the fatigues of Government, and that a ktrnot was to be established in the persons of the Qua sr; and the i al wea of PZACS, This meditated arrangement 'ad created considerable dissatisfaltion ; and the opi. Mon of the Emperor Napo/JON was anxiously ex., Peeted on this extraordinary determination. The German Princes who are fl 'eking to the je m P"iai lolsr/te at Paris, are compared to so many •" 441 4 Cliarb eei ....—l t is probable that by evil coin". ertu. nication th e y may dulls tkeir kakis, b ut no t with bUeh honest fellows as fan ISPFIIOIO New Nov. 3.-;-"The British Privateer General B,e'vier, belonging to Nova Scotia, anti mounting twelve iz.pounders, has been taken by a French Privateer and carried into Point Petre. She was taken without any opposition, having been 1 . previously boarded by a British Frigate, which im. ; pressed her men, leaving barely enough to navigate the vessel. A number of English Vessels have lately been sent into Point Petre. The Ship Reco. very, of Greenock, for Jamaica the Ship Nancy, from Cork ; and a Ship from Dublin, with cargoes of provisions, are Captured and carried into that place. The Baltimore Gazette mentions a report of the escape of JEROME BONAPARTE and his Lady for France, on board of the fast.sailing Schooner Cor. delis, Capt. To ; and the Philadelphia True American states, that they were shipwrecked, and obliged to return : it appears, however, that both these reports are unfounded. Case of ,Colonel BURR.---A Grand Jury of the State of New Jersey have presented a Bill of In. diEiment for murder against this Gentleman. As the wound was given in the State of New Jersey, and General HAMILTON died in, that of New York, it was supposed that Colonel BURR could not he charged with murder ; for as, according to com mon law, if the stroke of which one dies be given in one County,' and he die in another, it ie not murder in either, the case ought to be .much stronger between different States. It happens, how ever, that there is a particular Statute of the State of New Jersey, by which, if the stroke be given there, and death ensue in another State, it is held to be murder. Nov. s.—Extralt of a Letter from Commodore PREDLE, to the Secretary of the Navy, dated June the ta.th, Igo+, on board the United States' Fri. gate Constitution, off Tripoli : " Yesterday I an. „elicited off the harbour, anti sent Mr. "O'BRIFte on shore under a•flag of truce, to endeavour to ransom our unfortunate Countrymen, and, if the BAsitAw should desire it, to establish peace. Mr. O'BRIEN did not succeed in his'mission; he landed at noon, and returned on beard at half past two o'clock. You will see by the instruttiona how far he was aulho. rized togo for the ransom. I presume, if the terms had been accepted, that our Government would have been satisfied ; but they were refused, and we have no alternative hut to.oblige him to accept them or Others more favourable for us." Another Letter from Commodore PM:IILE, dated Massina, July 7, mentions, that he had taken on board there 700 bomb shells, and,powder in proportion, for the ow pose of bombarding Tripoli. Nov. 6.—Capt. PATERSON, who arrived here yesterday in the Schooner Linnet, froth Shelburne, informs, that he passed the French Frigates the Dirion and Sybelle, from this port, on Saturday even. ing at five o'clock, cif the Northeast end of Black bland, with their courses hauled up. As it was then calm, he supposei they could not have gone more than a mile before twelve that night, when a breeze sprung up from N.N.E. and he thinks it pro. liable carried them to sea.—We learn by a Schooner from Lmg Island , that the British Ships of War , the Leander and Cambrian Frigates, which left Sandy Hook on Saturday morning, had got as far as ten miles to the Eastward of Hog Island by eleven O'clock, which is about so miles from Sindy Hook. Nov. 8..-...JIROME BONAPARTE and his Lady embarked on hoard the Melon for more than a week before the sailing of the French Frigates from this port for France. We are informed, that M. DoPtINT, the French Agent, went with them as far as New. haven. The tale of Jaßome's having sailed from Baltimore, ,with the subsequent one of his shipwreck in the Delaware, are totally devoid of truth. For two weeks before the sailing of the Frigates no strangers were permitted to go on hoard the Diden. The Pilot.boat which went through the Sound with the French Frigates returned last evening. She left the Frigates on Saturday evening; between six and oven o'clock, to the Northward of Black Island. They were becalmed till about one o'clock in the morning, when they went to sea with a good brrbze at N.N.E. Nov. 9.—Capt. Govt.!), who arrived at Balti more last Saturday, the 3d insr. from Norfolk, states, that the report of the day, when he sailed, was, that a French Privateer, under the semblance of being an English Packet, and under the pretence allaying dispatches for - the Commander of a British Frigate lying off Grenada, was admitted alongside of her; when the Captain of the Privateer, by suddenly and unexpededly boarding with a large number of men, made prize of the Frigate, an carried her off. Paulus. Hook, by an Ad of the Legislature of New. Jersey, has been meted into a City, to be named the City of Jersey, anti a port of entry. In addition to the account given in our Paper of Monday, of the state of affairs at Cape Franslin, we learn by arrivals at Philadelphia, that when Capt. GI asotl, of the Pilgtim, belonging to that Port, was ordered out, and at the place of execu. tion, Capt. SMITH, of this City, resolutely stepped forward and remonstrated to then Commanding 01ft. cer ; on which the Black Officer ordered one of his soldiers to run him through with his bayonet : Mr. SIMTit, aware of the imminent danger, fled, and the, soldier pursued, but soon after return ed and in. formed, that the Captain had escaped; on which the Officer sternly said, #, your head shall pay fur it the next time, you obey my orders in that way.'' Three days prior to the sailing of the Fleet (of which the CillUN, arrived here on Sunday, was one), a Proclamation was issued interdiding any Master of Supercargo from retaining any part of their car. goes, and obliging them to sell the whole to the Administration, or to one individual resident mer. chant. And the Proclamation forbids the Master of any Vessel from secreting on board his Vessel, or attempting to carry off any of the Emperor's subjedl, or French residents, under penalty of for. felting Vessel and cargo, and ten months imprison. meat. Extra! of a Letter from . a .. 9 . entlemn in Cape Francois, dated Ottober al. " Since the date of my last, the Convoy, whicl intended to depart the next morning, have been tie tained until now, by an order from the Emperor he having been informed that a number of A►iweri endeavouring', and had aeluallY succeeded ire getting off to the fleet a greet Many persons to whom the Commander in Chief hire had often reftised pass. pouf.For a number of days this clandestine affair was'conducted with , great aelivity, but with very little caution ; for at was observed, with much re. gret, by General CH R ISTC4IIII, to whom advice had been given daily of the persons thus embarking ; yet he hoped, as the Convoy would not be ready to sail for some days, that they would repent their temerity, and again return on shore, in which case nothing would happen to than. " In fael, it was only two days Wi alai there was a general assembly of mini I. , ninen, and chil. dren, belonging to the town; When the F.mperoi addressed himself more partieblarly to the people 'of colour, assured them of his wish to make them all happy, and would protel them and their fami. lies from all kind of insult and violence. Not. withstanding they continued to remain, and others to go on board the Ship Pilgrim, whose Consignee assured the Emperor he was ignorant of any one being on board but those possessed of passports. f , The •Vessels still met with detention, and wesvisre at a loss how to account fur it.—At length 'they 'were permitted to clear out, and yesterday was the-period fixed on for departure. The pre. ceding night a counter..order was given for a gene. rat embargo : and in the morning guards were appointed to go and search every vessel in the bar. boor, when, painful to relate, they found on board the Pilgrim is or 16 persons of both sexes, who, together with the First Officer of said Ship,were mediately sent as prisoners on shore ; the first to answer for endeavouring to leave the Island contrary to law p an) Mr. TATE fir resisting the guards sent to search the vessels. Three of these unfortunate people, in which number I am sorry to include poor TATS, were hanged on the quay a short time after their landing, and so exasperated were the different officers and soldiers that it Was impossible to tifford that unfortunate man the least assistance. _ It is deeply to he lamented, that an aft so hu. mane as was the intenion of the Aimed Cans in this instance should so ill accord with the Laws of the Country ; but as it was our duty, a 4 well as safety, smelly to adhere to them, this deviation exposed us, and the poor creatures we were desirous or serving, to the unhappy issue that has taken place."
