By accounts from the Elz.viia.vv., Tender, which brought some Prisoners over from Dunkirk, we learn, that about 14. French Gun-boats, in coin ing into that Bay, were, in a gale of wind, lost, with many of the people. The Ed , w;iistorw's Boats were hoisted out to their assistance, and saved many : one of the Boats was stove to pieces, which was replaced by a new one, by order of the French Admiral. General joy pervaded all ranks of people, on the event of the Peace, at Dunkirk.

Captain MARKHAM was yesterday defied Burgess in Pali4ulent for Portsniouth, without opposition.

Ms. In consequence of a meeting having been convened at the Crown and Anchor yesterday, of the Renters of Drury-lane Theatre, several Gentlemen attended. Mr. SYERIDAN was present, and having observed that the . subjcas in dispute, respeaing this Theatre, were now before the COurt of Chancery, he submit ted whether it would not be advisable to adjourn the meeting for a fortnight ; which being seconded, the company adjourned to that day fortnight. We • learn with great pleasure, and . are - enabled to - state it from the best authority, that all diffe rences between Mr. K. a NIA I.Wmid the Proprietors of nrary-Lane Theatre are settled, to the entire Sails laalion of all parties. We rejoice at this event, as combining many points to which no liberal mind could be ind;fferent. .The interests of a great Con cern are improved by it, and a Performer is restored to the - Metropolitan Stage, whose talents are mate rial to its support, .Ind to the rational amusement, as well as the moral instruftion, of the P4blic. The. new arrangements at Drury-Lane Theatre, we hope, and indeed have little doubt, will lead to the speedy restoration of Mrs. SIDDONS to that Stage, without whose great talents its attralions can never be held to be complete. Mr. KEMBLE, we believe, will reappear before the Public on Monday next, - in Richard. the Third. We shall they; have both Richards in the field."

The Dutch very wisely proceeded upon the prin ciple of Loc ke, and the association of ideas, when they wished to innovate in the Government of their Republic.

HAGUE, Ocr. 3r, AI-' tEa the arrival at Ileivoetsluys of a Flag of Truce from England, which brought the official notification of the raising the Blockade of that Port on the part of the English, our Maese Fleet, con sisting of seven Ships of the Linea and three Fri gates, under Admiral DE WINTER, .sailed thence on the 24th inst. partly to Flushing, and partly to , the Texel. To-morroW the 3's Members who compose the new Legislative Body, will assemble.at the Hague, and the next day . enter on the exercise of their funaions. It is believed that the greater part of the Orangists who have been chosen; will not ac cept their appointment. Should this .be the case, new" Members will be chosen in their stead. . , The new State Diredory has now appointee) a Committee of seven Members for each of the eight Departments or Provinces, to frame for each De partment a particular Constitution, relative to all such objeCts as do not appertain to the general admi_ nistration of the Republic. These eight Commit tees, which are composed of natives of the Provinces of every different party, will asseMble on the loth of November at the Rogue, Arnheim, Middleburg, Utrecht, Leuwarden, kwoll,Groningqr, and Herzo genbuseh, and within five weeks lay the • result of their labours before the Directory, for their approbation. On the first of December each Com mittee will send hither a Member to confer with a Deputation from the Dire Cory on this subject ; so that the new order of .things may commence with the new year s By this regulation: the late ProVinces will receive more authority than they had before ; but the report that they will be restored to their former situation, and entirely go vern themselves as before the t 795, is Unfounded. AMSTERDAM, OCT. 31. SOME hundreds of Merchant-ships are lying here ready t 9 sail in a short time for different_parts. Our Ministry of Marine has formally, given notice, that according to the Preliminaries of Peace con cluded betwoen France and her Allies and. Eirgland, a Free Navigation will be ensured to the Batavian Flag. Our .Republic has applied. to. England for Passes for Ships under the Batavian Flag, in case they should meet with English Ships who have not yet received notice of the Peace.,---These Passes arc immediately expdted from England. Two Dutch Ships of War will soon sail for the East Indies and the Coast of Guinea; other' Ships of War will likewise sail for the West Indies, in or der, after the signing of the Definitive Treaty, to take possession of our former E:;tablislarnent.3'. The number of our Colonial Troops will be considerably augmented. VIENNA, OCT. 28. AN answer has now been returned on the part of Our Court and ;the ARCHDUKE ANTHONY, to the Chapter of Munster, relative to the late Eleaion - to that Bishopric. This answer imports, that in con sequence of the present critical situation of political *affairs, the office and funlions of Bishop of Mun ster cannot be assumed and exercised till the final settlement of the Indemnifications ,of the German Empire. BRUSSELS, OCT. 29, THE Towns of Dunkirk, Ostend; Havre, Nantes, and others, who will suffer considerably by the opening of the Scheldt and the Harbour of Ant , wer i b, have made very pressing remonstrances on that sub jet to the First Consul. The Kixo finds much amusement in inspcEing the improvements at \VindsotCastle, and the build ing of , the Royal Palace at Kew, His MA J ESTY rises regularly at seven o'clock, breakfasts . at eight with the• Royal Family ; from nine till eleven views the progress of the workmen. Every window in the Castle is to be replaced with stained glass. His MAJESTY 15 so much attached to any thing Gothic, that no part of the new Palace is to be on a.modern construction. The manner, according 'to private letters, which the French Government have, it is said,. proposed to sonic of the chief of their Annuitants, resident in this country, to liquidate the arrears, subsequent to 1798, is somewhat similar to that in which they have settled with their own Countqinien. Of all arrears previous to 1798, during the revolutionary governments ) they donor take any cognizance. Of the subsequent dividends they pay in what is called the Bout de Mrs, being one third of the sum ac tually due. The state of the French Finances may perhaps render even this arrangement acceptable to the Public Creditors. Count RUMFORD, who is now at Paris, and who is naturally an interesting person to the Chemists and Natural Philosophers of that Metropolis, w:II at leapt have sufficient matter for amusement. We find that he has had long conferences with Citizen Lt RON, whose scheme is, to light a house by the smoke of the wood by which he heats it ; and with Citizen MONGOLFI ER, another operator upon smoke, who has also discovered the art ex falizo dare lucent. In comparison, with these, the.

He walked a mile out and a mile in,%the mile of the road on which he walked, being Wiell li!;hted with lamps. In our Paper of yesterday, we stared his commeneement.

This match was sudden ly'rnide and - suddenly pert - mined, rather privately, near Doncaster, so that the public heard but little of it. Mr. FL - El-et-IER was only a very short time in train ing under Ward the pugilist, living on raw meat, &c. atrd when he won, he felt the last zo miles tire him so much, that he thought it quite impossible for BARcLAY to go. 30 mileS further at the same rate; and hence arose the present bet.—Mr. BAR* C LAY has, however, been in training since the Beginning' of September, under - Mr. Smi-rm, an old farmer, in Yorkshii-e, on Lord FAUCONB ERG'S Estate. SmtTu made hiM live upon raw meat: and hard food, and do all sorts of hard Work, send- . ing him often to market' with a heavy load of cheese and butter on his shoulders, and allowing' him only an hour and a half to go ten miles with . this weight ; iind he found his pupil answer so well on all occ;lsioaS,: that Lady de dared he had no doubt of his winning. Mr. FLEFCHRR. made his bet with great judge ment., Not only did he think it impossible for Mr. BARCLAY to keep up walking at the rate of fotir; miles and a quarter an lour (which was the rate, in cluding stoppages), for twen.y-one successive !louts bUt he stipulated that. the task should be performed at this season of the year, when - the htiman frame the most relaxed, and in the weakest state. There was also a great chance, at this time, of a high wind, heavy rain, or a thick fog, either of which would have proved a fatal obstacle to Mr. BAR; CLAY'S success. The fog, for a few hours in the morning ; it will •be 'seen by our Letter, proved heavy drast back on his exertions ; and, had it con . tinued all day, it is probable he would have lost. • THE THEATRE. Drury-Lane. MRS. POwELL appeared, for the first time, last night, in thexharatter of Lady Randolph, cha. raper which has been so admirably supported by Mrs. Sr oDoNs, that in addition to its own diffi culties,- Mrs. PowaLL .had of course to struggle against the invidious rest of comparison., There is . a.querulous monotony of grief in this part that is very well suited to the manner of Mrs. Pow whose chief -deleCl in general is a want of varietys , This want was, therefore, less observable lash night, and she . represented the flow of .maternal tendernes, with more success -then usually attends her aaing. CHARLES KEMBI.E gave Young Norval with an inLetesiii % expression of heroic amour. It may 'be said that his demeanour was rather too flourish ing and lofty for a youth - brought up as the son of .a peasant ; but as his sentiments are towring and no ble, they may naturally be . expeded to produce an elevation in his carriage, WxotTGIITON'S Old Norval was simple, and afrea, ing. We cannot say. much in favour of the rest ic the Dramatis Persona-, at least of their represen tatives. The house put on a more, cheering aspe6l than it has exhibited lOr some time past ; but as this may be considered , as a national .Play, perhaps a good part of the, audience may ,be ! supposed to have been attrafted by the natural influence of Caledonian par tiality.'

It was stolen by a man employed in the Mines, who, notwithstanding - the pr'4 , autions employed, found means. to bring it to Europe, where he offered it to several Sovereigns, and finding none inclined to purchase it, brought it to England, where hemade a model of it in Chrystal and sent it to F ranee. - The price set on it was such as to alarm the Regent ; but the famous LAW, the AncestOr of General LA - Lulls-rots-, to whom France is indebted for it, assisted by ST. SIMON, at length prevailed upon the Duke of OR LEANS, then Regent, to make the purchase,. having first made the. Merchant.abate his demands to two Millions of Livrcs, about 85,0001.
