I duals, and that, were proper mu - aura to he adopt ; ed, compensation would not become very burden. some to the State. The magnitude of the com pensation would never deter him from doing every thing in his power to accomplish the desirable end. Persons who have bargained for their pro_ petty with the public, and who have not yet Paid for it, would, he thought, be entitled either to restore their lands, or get compensation. If there h Would he found any grants of great antiquity, and whete no steps had been taken to procure a settle- Inent of those grants, it would, perhaps, be a just ad of forbearance on the part of the Crown to with_ hold compensation. The pia!), however, would ne cessarily require some fair mode of valuation to be adopted, and to recogniz, generally; the prin. eiple of it in the Bill, would be to put the matter out of the hands of Parliament without a proper in vestigation, which might be attended with danger.. ous cons.quences.

LONDON, yUN E 28, 1804 As oar Paper was about to be put to Press, we received p arr, Papers to the 20th i Dumbjournals to th e 24t h nstant, and , from which we have cxtraEled t h e following articles of intellience :have PARIS, J g JUNE ,I B .—Nothin i s •talked of at V Nothin g ienna but the approaching departure of Count D'ESTERHAZY for Paris. He will. be accompanied by a very numerous Suite, in quality of Ambassa dor' Extraordinary from the EMPEROR of GER MANY, to compliment the Emperor of the French. Advices from Berlin state, that General Count TAucrlzt EN will be immediately sent to Paris, to compliment the Emperor of the French in the name of firs PRussrAN MAJESTY. A Letter from Rome, dated June 3 1 seems to con. firm this not improbable intelligence "It is now reported, that the Court of Vienna is labouring to bring about a pacification, and that its mediation has been requested by one of the Belligerent Powers." From Leghorn they write, that an English Flag of Truce is arrived there, with dispatches for the Court of Florence, whither they were immediately conveyed. COMPIEGNE, 28TH PEAR lAL.—The Emperor arrived at Compiegne at eleven o'clock on Saturday night. This morning at three o'clock he was on horseback, and manoeuvred the Dragoons of the Camp on foot till noon. In the evening he receiv ed the Constituted Authorities, visited the School of Arts and Manufdatires, and, mounted on horseback, manceuvied the Cavalry till night.—Moniteur. From the New Merthast of the 23d June.—lt is confidently said that the KING of PRUSSIA has re solved to recognize BONAPARTE, Emperor of the French, and that new Credentials have been sent to the Marquis of LUCCHESINI at Paris. The German Papers say, that a fourth Kingdom is about to arise in Italy :. that Luc* EN BONA. PARTE is ro be created Grand Dub of Parma, and Kingly Regent of that part of Italy not comprehend. ed under Naples, Sardinin, and Etruria, and that he will keep his residence at Rome ; that the Pope is to resign his high Office, and spend the remainder of his life in religious devotions ; that the Eccle siastical will be converted into a Temporal State, of which the Brother of the French Emperor will be the Head. The Hamburgh Mail due on Wednesday se'n. night, arrived this day at noon. The following is the only article of intelligence which it brings : VIENNA, Posit 6.—The Conferences between the Minister of State, Count COBENT;EL, and the Envoys from the different Powers, are now less frequent than ever. Our Court remains firm to its System of Neutrality, and will enter into no new Alliances. On the Bth instant, at four o'cloc: in the morn ing, the EMPRESS of GERMANY was safely . delivered elan Arch Dutchess. A report was circulated yesterday, that the Eng. fish Prisoners in France, we mean those detained at the commencement of the War, had been set at li. berry, and had received permission to return to England. We have not been able to trace this ru. mour to any authentic source, and we arc ,not in clined to give it much credit. LAST night the Defence Bill was read a third time, and passed, with scarcely any opposition ; and thus all the hopes of the heterogeneous Coalition have vanished " into thin air." The Paper de. voted to the Party, has, to do it justice, spared . no exertions during the contest, to keep up the spirits of its friends. First, they were told that it was impossible that Mr. PITT could carry the Bill against the formidable Opposition he had to encounter in the House of Commons ; and the friends of the Minister were informed, in comfidence, that he himself gm/shed to be left in a mi. nority. Unfortunately, hoWever, Mr. PITT'S friends did not take the hint which was so kindly given, and the Bill was carried by a considerable majority. Re. course was next had to the memorable and ingenious appeal to the delicacy and feelings of the Irish Mem bers ; but all in vain ; and the Bill 'was read a third time and passed in the Commons with scarcely a struggle.—Still, however, the Party did not despond, and the most confident prediftions were announced, that the defeat in the Commons would be compen sated by victory in the Lords ; but here they were doomed to suffer a still more severe disappoint ment, for the Bill was carried by a Majority, un. precedented, we believe, in the Annals of Parlia ment. Such repeated and galling defeats may na. turally be supposed to have ruffled the temper of the Party to whom we allude; but we did not ima. gine that their passion would have hurried them quite so far, as to make them say, " Under these circumstances" (that is, the Bill having met with the approbation of 154 Peers and 265 Members of the House of Commons), " wti cannot suppose that the Biil will be attempted to be carried into exe. cution." With regard to the observations made in the Paper in question respeding the number of Peers created and promoted during Mr. Pm's Admini stration, we do not think it consistent with the re. sped we owe to 'that branch of the Legislature, to enter into a discussion upon such a Subjed ;' in point of fad, however, sixteen Peers who were creatrd'or promoted during Mr. Purt's Administration, voted against the Bill, Yesterday morning, about ten o'clock, THEIR. MA J ESTI ES and the PR INC ESSES arrived al' the . Queen's House, from Kew. .1“ a short time alter, Mr. PITT had an audience of Ells MAJESTY, which continued for a considerable time, . , . . . About two o'clock His MAolsTif 116.1 a Levee, which was attended Wy,their Exceliencies,the RICAN, SPANISH, IMPERIAL, FORTIIatEE, HA.

The Levee closed about a quarter past three, when a Cabinet Council was held. fits MAJESTY then held a Privy Council, for the purpose of receiving the RECORDER'S Report of 16 convids under sentence of death. After the Council had closed, Lord CHARLES SOMERSET had the honour to kiss His MAJESTY'S hand, on his being appointed Joint Paymaster of the Forces, in the room of the Right Hon. THOMAS STE ELF. Mr. DRUMMOND had an audience of His MA. JESTY, for the first time since his arrival from Con stantinople. Mr. ARBUTtiNOT also had an audi ence, and took leave of His MAJESTY, previous to his goirig to Constantinople. Lord PR:I.HAM had an athiience of His MAJESTY, and resigned his Gold Stick of Office, as Captain of the Yeomen of the Guirds. Earl MACCLESFIELD had an audience of HIS MA JESTY, and resigned his appointment as Lord of the Bebehamber, when HIS MAJESTY was pleased to appoint his Lordship Captain of the Yeomen of the Guards, in the room of Lord PELHAM. Lord AMHEItiT had the honour to kiss His MA JESTY'b hand, on his being appointed a Lord of the Bedchamber. At six o'clock the Royal Family left the Queen's House for Kew. Yesterday about one o'clock HER MAJESTY and thePRINCESSES honoured Lady CHARLOTTP FINCH with a visit, and returned to the Queen's House at half past three. On Monday evening HIS MAJESTY, accompa nied by the PaiNcEss AmEt. lA, took an airing on horseback through Harrow. HER MAJESTY, and the other PRINCESSES, followed in two open car. riages. The youngsGentlemen of the School of that place, came out from the different boarding-houses, and paid their respects to His MAJESTY, who very condescendingly conversed with several of them, particularly the Duke of DORSET. On the Royal Par) , leaving the town, the young Gentlemen fol lowed them for a considerable distance, and gave repeated huzzas. His MAJESTY, we are happy to say, is in as good health as he has enjoyed for many years. Pre. parations are making for his going to Weymouth. Major-General SMITii has been appointed, by His Majesty, to the Staff in India. He proceeds in the Baring. By advices received yesterday from Commodore. , Lord WILLIAM STUART, offOstend, we learn, that in the afternoon of the 233, twenty-five of the enemy's sein ventured along shore from Flushing. As it was- then low water, the Frigates could not get near them, but the smaller vessels were sent in to engage them, which they did, and maintained a running fight to Ostend; but little damage was done on either side. The flying artillery of the euenny followed along she beach, and kept up a constant and heavy fire; two shelli came on board the Rattler, one of which fell on her quarter-deck, but without doing injury to any body : as the fuzee of the other continued to burn, it was thro'wo overboard before it could burst. One Sditty't run on shore, but was got off in the night. The Enemy have in the harbour of Flush ing one Frigate, and in the Roads two Schooners and one Brig. This is their whole force there at present. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at' the Eastindia House, when Captain J. H. PELLY was sworn into the command of the - United Kingdom, for Madras and Bengal, and took leave. Captain AD. DIRLEY was sworn into the command of the De. vayner. The Ship Skelton Castle, of 580 tons, was taken up for four voyages, and consigned to Bom bay she is ordered to be afloat July 7, and to sail from Gravesend August 7. —The Court adjourned at six, o'clock till Wednesday next. It is stated in a Paper of this morning, after first throwing out some insinuations against Mr. PITT, because an Administration on a broader basis . had not been appointed, that it is imputable to Mr Fox himself, that a stronger Arnioistration was not formed, because he m,atte an appointment to wait on Mr. PITT, to consider of the best means of forming an Administration out of all Parties ; and afterwards, not only negleeted the appointinent, but sent no excuse. Almost the whole of this. statement is incorreft. Mr. PITT, as we before stated, used every exertion to tbrm an ministration embracing all the talents of the •' Country, and succeeded in removing every ob stacle, except the objection to Mr. Fox himself; and with respet to him, Mi. PITT did every thing but make the admission of that Gentleman into Ad ministration the sine qua non of his own corning into office. The insuperable objeelion to Mr. Fox being known, his friends declined forming a part of the Administration without him. Under these circurn.. stances, the intended meeting between Mr. PITT and him did' not take place, .but we never heard the • slightest imputation of incivility or ncgleet against Mr. Fox for his conduet on that occasion. It is invidiously observed, on the restoration of Lord AstHERST to his office as a Lord , of the Bed. chamber, that " it does seem that Mr. PITT, when he pleases, can remove personal objeetions." In answer to this splenetic effusion of disappointed Party, it may be said, that Lord AMHERST never aeled in suck a manner, or uttered.such sentiments, as rendered it proper to efface his name from the list of Privy C ounc ill ors, and tirade him unwurthy'', of the confidence of his Sovereign. Yesterday evening the Bionmobnry and Lincoln's Inn Association, and the Prince Wm. Frederick's Volunteers, were irispeeled by Lieutenant-Colonel ill '". The former were inspected in their . own ground, and the latter in the 'Toxopholite Ground, near Go%ver.strcet, Bedford.sqnare. N.A!

ONE of the most severe fights took place on Tam, day, that has been witnessed since the meinor,ble battle between Johnson and Big Ben. Ni; . e her of the combatants had entered the lists hef le, though they -were known to possess great skill; i.nd were equally desirous to display it. One of them was John Ward, son of the celebrated bruiser of that name; and the other Tom Belcher, younger brother to' a pugilist of still greater celebrity. By way of eocu ragetnent, a purse of so guineas was subscribed; to be divided between them according to their respeftivc merits. On Monday night, at eleven o'clock, it was agreed that the 'combatants were to decid the contest in Tothilfields on the following day; At two o'clock they accordingly met, atterld ed by their Seconds and Bottle. holders, &c. On stripping, the odds were six to four on the side of Belcher, and many bets . were.made. They-both set to - in a masterly style, and displayed great sci.. enee. Ward. made the two first blows at his oppo_ nent's body, which took considerable effect: they were given with such violence, that had they been. placed where they were intended, the battle would have been finished.- Belcher, however, soon rallied, when some desperate blows ensued on both sides; and the round finished with even betting. From the first to the .eighth round was one con. tinkled scene of hard fighting, each party endeavour ing to make good his hits without ever orce ing from a blow. The odds were six to fur on Belcher again, Young:Belcher adopted the m nner - and stile of his brother, and hit as straight as a dart with his left hand, whilst his opponent fought like, .4 lion, and disdained to . give way. • For several rounds after the eighth, Ward's btiws were so forcible and well.diretted, that they 'be. came irresistible, and he had apparently the advan. Cage : but from the supposed bottom of youns,t cher,.the betting was still even. About this pc.. riod Belcher began to be in reality so weak and ex_ hatisted, that he tell twice without receiving a blow. To the seventeenth round Ward seemed to possess the advantage, if there was any, and had put in many very desperate body blows. Belcher continued to fight with equal spirit, but fought all at. the head, by which means Ile had considerably injured Ward's eyes, which were much swelled. The 17th round was fought with desperation.— Belcher's strength seemed to be reel uited ; he charg ed his mode of fighting, and threw in several body blows. Ward persevered w i t h ur d. unte d sp i r i t to the end of the rou n d, w hi c h was l ong ; but, af te r falling with his opi , onent, he did not appear to rise with the same alacrity. The 18th round was another severe trial, in which both the combatants seemed determined to t all the strength and vigour they had left. Ward, appeared very faint ; but he st. tidy stood his ground, and received such violent blows on his eyes, already much cut, that they were now entire ly closed up. Though his sight was nearly gore, he requested to try another round, in whic% he was completely worsted ; and his friends, perceiv ing there were no hopes of success, carried him off the ground almOst a . lifeiess corpse. . The nineteen rounds were fought in thirty-three minutes and an half. &veral persons of distinction were present. . . Qtr ICIC appeared like a Theatrical-Evergreen on Tuesday last at Covent Garden Theatre, and gave as much spirit' to the Jew, in The Duenna as he did near thirty years ago, on the first appearance ofth.t popular Operp. We are happy to find, that, according to letter* received from. Liverpool yesterday, Mr. &stay molts is pronounced to be out of danger, J 1.4.1 that no doubt is entertained of his speedy Tecovery'froro the effea of his wound. . . Yesterday afternoon, a Gentleman was found, in Queen Anne-street East, in a :.gate-of and conveyed to the Middlesex Himpitai, whel . e still remains. His cravat is marked R. C. riot. He has a goki watch,, some Lank Nwes, and two keys; the name of Clark is written in his shoes. He was dressed in a - black coat and waistcoat, arid cotton pantaloons.
