General Minister.-1 had the honour of informing you by the last courier, of the capture of the English Corvette, taken near Point de la Teignouse, by Lieutenant Letourneur, on the morning of the ath. This Vessel, mounting eighteen guns, q -pounders, and two 6-pounders, had on board g 6 men.— 1 hc English Captain was slightly wounded, and, by a chance as fortunate as incredible, not a single soldier or sailor of the lotilla received the smallest wound, notwithstanding a brisk cannonade, which lasted two hours. The Corvette is much damaged, and has lost 35 men. This event facilitated yesterday the arrival at L'Orient of a considerable Convoy from Nantes: We descried also yes. terday a Convoy of sixty merchuntg'.

Nothing could be mare just than the' remark of the SECOND CONSUL of France, in his Address to the New Emperor, as to the necessity which the French were under of giving daily testimonies of respeft and attachment to their Corsican Master ; for if they were to fail in their daily tribute of fawn. ing flittery, he might think that they began to cool in their allegiance, and' consequently they would be exposed to the vengeance of offended Majesty. It is not a little curious that CAMBAC ER ES, who paid his homage to Madame BONAPARTE, on her elevation to the Imperial Throne of France, and who so profusely complimented the new Empress on her " amiable delicacy," was once her Proteaor, as the French well know. What then must the audi ence have thought of such a farce, and such mock. et): of truth and decency ! We are happy to confirm our opinion in yester. day's Paper, by announcing to the Public, that the Caroline Frigate, Capt. PAGE, has not been cap. tured by Admiral LIN° ts' Squadron, but, at the time when stated to be captured, was safe in duck in Bombay. Several samples of teak-wood, from the East In. ciie , , have been brought to Englandby t h e C ompa . ny's Ships, a nd have, upon . trial, been found to be c lculated for building Ships of War.

To is being the first day of Trinity Term, the Conn was opened with the usual formalities, and the returns from the different gaols were read. THE KING V. T. BURCHELL. Mr. GARROW applied for a Rule to shew cause why a criminal information should not be filed against this Gentleman. The Learned Counsel said, as the Defendant was proCeeding through the street of Storrington, he met a military Gentleman of the . naiiie of Fuller, and after a frivolous question about a yob - 1g Lady drinking tea at a particular place, to which he received no reply, he publicly challenged Mr. Fuller, and said Capt. Dixon would accompany him on the occasion of the meeting. Mr. Burchell, it appeared, was a member of a Volunteer Corps, of which this Officer was the Captain. Mr. Burchell further added, that if Mr. Fuller should give the sa tisfaCtiOn of a Gentleman, he (Mr. Burchell), would he spared the trouble of Writing to the DUKE of Yoßk, to expose hint, and the further necessity of posting Mr. Fuller up for a coward. A subsequent explanation took place, in which the illegal inten tions of Mr. Burchell were more fully disclosed, if any doubt could remain, ►with respeCt to his design on the previous interview. Mr. Gattitow added, that it was eipedienr, for the peace of society, that the disposition to the unlawful pradice of duelling should be repressed in the members of Volunteer Corps: the Officers in the Regular Forces set an ex ample of decorum, in this respel, which deserved the imitation of those who, under the pressure of public danger, had been called to sustain a military charaCter, to which they were unaccustomed.—Rule granted. SMITH v. LEF, EsQ. Three several Ataions for Bribery in the Ayles bury Eleaion had been commenced against the De fendant in this Court, and one in the Court of Ex chequer. Mr. CONST applied for a Rule to shew cause why the whole should not be consolidated into one, as the parties were precisely the same in all three causes. Loid ELLENBOROUGH.—" I see no ohjeaion to your taking a Rule to shew cause t% by the three actions here should not bt consolidated, but we Can not controul that brought in the Exche'quer. The Plaintiff may choose to try a portion of his causes in the latter, and whether lie have, or not, a sufficient reason, we cannot examine."—Rule to slim cause granted, but not to extend to the aetiun in the Ex. chequer. MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT. A month of finer weather has rarely been expe. perienced, and the consequence has been the utmost luxurianey of vegetation. The Wheat is very pro. miring, but will cost much for weeding—we never remember to have seen so much of the corn crowfoot (ranunculus arvensis). Barley is equally good. The same may be said of Oats, except that these are in some places a good deal injured with the wire. worm. Beans grow fast, and in general the Pease are pro mising—in some instances, however, they have veheen blighted. The seeds sown with the Barley, having in general escaped the fly, grow so rapidly as to cause some fear of their overgrowing the . corn. Average price of Wheat Sts. 7d. Rye 235• Barley 255. 9d. Oats 223. Sd. beans 333. iod. Pease 375. 6J. _ _ _ Keep - of all sorts is equally forward with the Corn'. These remarks will hold good on all soils, except the cold very strong clays, where there has been so much wet as materially to check the spring Corn, The Seasc.n has been favourable for getting up the fallow, and bringing the turnip land into a forward state. Stock of all kinds has advanced, both on account of the quantity of feed, as well (for meat) as the high markets in Smithfield. Corn has declined, and is now much too low for the grower to afford : many places the Wheat of last harvest will hardly pay for harvesting, threshing, and taking to market. This month is the usual time for beginning to hire barvest.men : there does not appear to he any scarcity of them, though they have asked, and in many cases obtained last year's extravagant wages—some as much as three guineas and board, for a month.

A:1 ACCOUNT OF THE JOURNEY or LOUIS KING OF FRANCE, WITH TILE ROYAL FAM I Li? FROM PARIS TO VARENNES, AND OF THE F. RETURN TO THE CAPITAL, IN JUNE, 1791. (Continued from our Pal:er of Tvesdai , , M f S ) When supper was over, the three g,:7l72'es.c/u:corli met at the door of their Master's apartment, there to pass Oie night, after helping his Majesty to ur... dress. They there considered how they should hest re-, turn the money given to them at Varenne : and in the morning when, at the appointed hour, they en, rered the apartment where their Majesties nrd the Princess Elizabeth were met, they begged leave to restore the present._ They were, however, dire led to keep the mu, ney ; hut as the sum was too consider Able to be suared to fall into the hands of the rabble, they wished much to retain in their hands only Loitis.d'ors. Here their Majesties expresssing their serious apprehensions for the safety of these ,Gentlemen, M. de Moustier requested, that not a thoUght should be wasted on their fate; but that their Ma, jesties would be assured that they were prepared for every event. The King, the Queen, and Princess' Eliz,berh, answered, that they were too well convinced of the loyalty and faithful attachment of the whole body of gardes.da-corps, to have any auubts on that sotijeet ; and, at the same time, each of them, in tears, embraced, in their turn, the three Gentle men, who, overwhelmed with such goodness and condescension, felt themselves animated to brave a thousand deaths to evince their zeal and devotion. Their Majesties then desired the Gentlemen to g i ve t h em t h e n ames, " Not (said they) of yout nearest relations, for they .may be easily diworer. ed, but of those persons in whom you are particu. lady interested, or to whom you may lie under ob. higations." On this, M. de Vapory wrote, in the pocket. hook of their august Master, the names of their thcrs anti brothers alone. Amongst the Officers of the National Guards at Chalons, there was one who carried his insolence so far, as to prescribe rules to his Majetr, and even to reproach him for mal-administ ration in public affairs. When no one :attempted to restrain this behaviour, the King sod, with the greatest mildness, " Pray, let this Gentleman and his friends withdraw, that they miy not thus torture persons of a right way of ti,inking (les ames hoz, nites). Excessive heat and fatigue have brought them into their present state; but to_morrow if they shall recolleo what they have now said, they. will be sorry for it." As none, however, took any notice of his re quest, he turned away from them, with these words ‘, I once flattered Myself that I had to lament the errors of only the least-informed portion of my peo. ple, misled by a few faaious men ; but now I per ceive that many of those who ought to know heifer things are equally depraved :" and when the King had so said, as it was the festival of Corpus Chri •f (La Fite Dieu), he immediately prepared to attend divine service. The Royal Family, whom no circumstance coubl; ever-draw aside from the regular discharge of their duty to the Supreme'. Bting, then reptaire►i to the chapel of the Inte►:dant's hotel ; but scarcely had. they been there a few minutes, when the peo ple rushed tumultuously in, and behaved with such scandalous indecency, that the Royal Family were forced to withdraw. " Nothing (said his Majesty, on rising from his knees) ought to surprize us on the part of rmn who have laid aside all respeet even for their Maket but it is the duty of all those :vhf► know the happi_ ness of living in, submission to his laws, to avoid giving any pretence for the commission of greater enormities." After their return from the chapel, the Royal Family retired for, a few moments to their apart ment, and then set out on their melancholy journey , loaded with every insult from the surrounding crowd'. This crowd, however, might be considered Ns civil, when compared with that which assembled afterwards at Epernay, where the Royal Family were met by the Dqtries from the Assembly at raris, Pethion, Barnave, Dumas, Latour-iVlaubourg, and another, whose name M. de Moustier had omitted to mark down in his j•)urnal, but who had an appearance of greater civility than the others, to whom, indeed, he seemed to be subordinate. Two of these Deputies, Pethion and Barnave, placed themselves in the carriage with the Royal Family ; so that it now contained ho few/ than seven persons. From this moment the cry of wive 1e Poi, which had now and then been faintly heard, ceased entirety to welcome the Royal Family all the way to Peris. It was succeeded by those of rivezt let Depute's ! P"; , -ve Balvave ! for Barnave appeared to be the idol of the people. 'With these cries were mingled others, such as, Let us eat the hearts of the King and Queen, &c. &c. too atrocious and horrible to be conveyed to British ears A poor Priest was pasFing quietly along the road, near Epernay, on his return from performing divine service at a neighbouring village, with his book under his arm. - • • It was enough that he was 'observed to be a cler gyman, to draw on him the attacks of the multitude. To save himself from their fury, he rushed amidst a party of National Guards, mounted on horses, formerly belonging to the Doke de Gramont's company 'of the gardes-a'll.corps, when quartered at Chalons, One of these men invited the priest to mount behind him, as if he meant to proteef the unhappy man from the populace : but it was only to have a better opportuuity of insulting him. Soon after, a grenadier, walking near the horSe, laying hold of the priest's leg, threw him over, just before the fore...vheels of the carriage. The wretched man, thinking to escape from death, pressed in be tween the wheels, but was there twice wounded with a bayonet, to force him to come our. He was afterwards dispatched by the muskets of the National Guards ; one of wlwre, in the hearing 1
