THE SUN. st' , l FM Qurs pictltE intsUni AUDICAT ? LONDON, MAY ix, qor. THE Harnbtirgh Mail due yesterday, arrived this morning. It has brought us nothing of portance from' the North of Europe: Admiral ToTTy was with his Squadron olt' Copenhagen. The intelligence contained in the Constantinople atticle from Egypt, has-been anticipated. From the South of Europe, the News is not more interesting than from the North, it we except the dangerous- state of the ARCHDUKE CHARLES'S health, and the intelligence from France contained in on: Private Correspondence. Circuitous as this rokc appears, it is, in the present state of the French Press, one of the Cew channels to which we can look for information respeding that Country. Drse it Es have been received by Government from Lord Fax ill at Conotwfinop/e, dated on the Mt ult. These bring the pleasing and important intelligence, that the= Army of the GRAND. Vt_ zisk, i 5,000 strong, was on the 29th of March within four days march ef El Arisch, from whetice it was proposed that it should take the route for Grand Cairo.' In our preceding columns we have given the be. ginning a the Second Report of the Committee of Secrecy of the House of Commons ; and from the interesting nature of this Paper, our Readers will regret that our limits do not permit us to insert the whole. It will be seen from Mr. ADDINGTON'S Speech, that the, Report points out two measures to be adopted ; the' one is the continuance of Martial Law in Ireland, the other an indemnity to those. persork , , by whose information this extensive system of Treason has been discovered. We shall, as the Parliamentary proceedings will alloW us, continue our Ex tra&t. , , until we have given . the whole of the Report, Yesterday tile 'Roy 4L . FAmtLY , took an airing in Richmond Gardens. Fl/s MAJESTY, accompanied by Their Royal Highnesses the DUKE. of KENT, and Pa.iNc z ADOI.- Ps~us, attended by General 61V Y NNE and .Major Delia Row, rode out on horseback ; as did the QUEEN and the Ptoric ESSES, in a phaeton, The second,flattalion of the Coldstream Regiment of Guards, was yesterdayErviewed by His Royal Highness he DUKE of YORK, in Hyde Park, ac ornpanied by the General Of f icers of the Regi.. ment, The Invalid Regiment of Guards march into the Tower on Monday, to relieve the Battalion of the 1d or Coldstreani Regiment, who are ordered for duty at Kew and Richmond. By the overland dispatehfrdm India, received on Tuesday; we understand that Government has re. ceivcd advice of the arrival of Admiral BLANKRTT at Suez, with the Sepoys from India, intended to eo-operate with the'Egyptiftn Army, A . Cutter was dispatched on Tuesday to Egypt, with the Vte of Thanks of the two Houses 'Of Par liament- to our gallant Army, and of course with Dis patches, announcing the succours which are forth with to he sent out. . An Imperial Rescript has lately , been- issued at Vienna, which requires all persons holding any species .of employment under the CroWn, eithertivil or military, to declare upon honour, and in writing, that -they do not lielong to_ any secret society what s6ever. To 4»y person refusing, an oath will be tendered ; and in ca.e of the Govermnent ever dis. coveting impositiqn in this matter, the person de ed iy declared, ipsofoff.,, conviaed of. perjury, is to undo Igo the penalty of being declared infamous, - and to be trelivered up to the Criminal Tribunals. The statement ip our Paper of Monday, respe. ing Hai(ar Bridge, Which We eopic4 from a Ports. Ineuth Paper, proves to he. erroneous. Yesterday the magnificent Seat of Woodhall, in Hertfordshire, formerly belonging to Sir TrioNtAs P.t.rmai)Lo, and lately to Mr. Bssill Was sold by Mr, DTK E for the sum of zs,gool. The lot in cluded 4.09 acres of land, , inclosed within a park paling, but subject to a valuation of the timber on the estate and the fixtures of the house, which may ruake the whole purchase near 40,0001. THE THEATRE.-- , At length The ORd e pw, who was capitally' topietemfd on his first trial belbre the Court of. Criticism at Drury-Lane Theatre, but who contrived to defer his just punishment, was finally sentenced to merited oblivion last night. A more numerous concourse of people attended his exit than could reasonably be expected, btit not one who had the least pretension to sense and taste could regret I is fate, except on account of The music, which is indeed liihlycreditableto the talents ofKELLy, and to which the prolonged existence of this wretched Outlay is principally to be attributed.. The ignorance of the French Journalists is con. spicuous wherever names are concerned, The Ma niteur calls the Whig Club the Wight s Club.--Such an error is inexcusable', as it spews a want of grati tude anyetling. Our Opposition Papers never made thC samOlunder with resped to the jacubin Club 7.k .N I :)N Print;il At the SuN-thrilet, PAIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. HA IBURCH, AIAY i 6. Tx! Commercial People of Hamburgh are in the greateit joy at the Convention entered into between the PR INC E of HESSE and the English and Prussian Ministers, and expea with the most lively impa tience, the first Convoy of English Ships in the Elbe. The Prussian Officers do not seem to think that they will quit the Eleaorate of Hanover immedi ately, which they acknowledge they entered with meet, but where they are upon the best footing in the world. - PRINCE LOUIS of PRUSSIA passed by Bremen within these two days, to take the Command of the Corps which is in the Duchy of Oldenbkrgb, and to establish 'his Head-quaiters at Oidenbursh, where his. Regiment is. Great apprehension is e►itcrtained at ,Fienna, on account of the life of the ARCHDUKE CHARLES, who is despaired of, from an attack of die Epilepsy, to which he has been subjcd. His loss Will be irreparable, and certainly the greatest misfortune which the Austrian Monarchy can in its present dr,. cumstances experience. We have here many private Letters from Paris i which state that BONAPARTE lives in the greatest apprehensions for his life, and he takes all the precautions ,of a man who aaually fears. ~He has .caused large ditches to be dug round, his 'Seat of Ma/mai:en, and a guard is mounted both before and behind, and the greatest formalities are observed when he arrives. It , is generally believed at Paris, that he will cause himself to be proclaimed Supreme Chief of di State—that, .he will suppress all the Authorit,ies that appear: to be at variance with, him—that he will . name a FirseMinister, who will be . JOSEPH BONAPARTE, and unite the two Ministers of Police and the Interior into one; ,and it is apparently on the r4.th July that these, changes will take place. It is likewise known, that the First Consul cannot bear MOREAU, who knows,this well. It is said that PICIFEGRU has returned to France iirc(;s. THE HAMPURGH MAIL. COPENHAGEN, Mety 12. 'THE Squadron under Admiral To I Ty, which has arrived to reinforce the English Fleet in the Baltic, is now - at anchor in the vicinity of our Road. This Squadron, which has received permis. sion to take in water here, consists of the Zealous, Powerful, and Vengeance, of 74. guns, and Ruby, of 64 gups, the Alknaer, ,of 56, a Frigate, and eleven Cutter Brigs. The English Fleet under Admiral Ni .SUN is lying at anchor between Moen and Fahter. According to the latest accounts from the Danish West India islands, the last sugar harvest has been more abundant than has been known for several years.' There is, however, a great.want of ship_ ping to bring the produce to Europe. HAGUE, MAY 12, ACCORDING to accounts from Paris, Count Co. r wit t, is very frequently with the Chief Consul at Afa/ma;sdn, and makes every - exertion to mediate: if possible a Peace between Eng/and and France. The report that the Preliminaries are already settled, is premature. VIENNA, , MAY 6. IN consequence of the changes which have lately taken place, it is believed that the affair of Indem. nifications in the. German Empire, will take 'a dif. ferent course froin what was at first expeded. On the entrance of the French Troops into the Neapolitan territory, the French Gefieral required that the supplies for the Army should be delivered every month in kind, and not in money, as had been at first stipulated. Some acts of violence have been committed there against the French Officers. On the entrance of the French into the Country of Trent a great part of which they have taken possession, some affrays happened between the Austrian Sub. jets and the French ; but it is hoped they will have no further consequences. Instrudions have been sent to Count CoaENZEL at Paris, !dative to the occupation of the latter Country. The new Imperial Title will. soon • make its ap pearaßce, in which will be inserted the title of Duke of Venice.

ROBBERY IN KENSINGTON GARDENS. naiad White was ind Vied .for assaut ting the Rev. Dr. Robert Hamilton, in Kensington Gardens, near the King's' highway, putting him in fear, and felo niously raking from his person a metal . watch, a guinea, anti several shillings, hi s p roperty. Dr. Hamilton stated, that on the zoth of March last, about three o'clock in • the afternoon, as he Was walking towards the North end of the Serpen tine River, in Kensington Gardens, lie perceived the Prisoner at the Bar sitting In one of the alcoves ; suspe&ing an ill intention on the part of the Pri soner, from some, motions he observed about him, he returned back the way he came ; but the Pri soner running after him, he thought it most prudent to stop to receive him, and in a determined tone he asked him what he was to understand by hiS behaviour? the Prisoner pleaded his distress. After remonstrating some time on the impropriety . of his eonduet, he gave hint 'a trifle to relieve him, he believed it might have been sixpence or one shillitig.- The'Prisoner looked at the money a considerable' while, and then said it would not do. The Witness, upon being asked as to the identity of the Prisoner, said, he was positive he was the man. It was with regret he was obliged to add, that the Prisoner threatened his life, and demanded his money : ilie pri. soner had a heavy stick in his band, which appeared to haye been torn from h tree ;. he gave hi m hi s mo ney, to the amount o f about 2.85. or 2 . 95. it Was a guinea and 50.,-; silver ; there was no person in sight, o r within a quarter of a mile ; the day was gloomy. The Prisoner ordered hiai to return the way he , . came, adding, that if he presumed to turn Lick, he would follow and kill hitn. Accordingly he went away without looking - imck, and immediately pro. ceeded to Mr. Forsyth, die King's head gardener, with whom he Was acquainted, and related the cir cumstance to him ; hraccompanied him to Bow street, and laid the information. .He saw nothing more of the ,prioner till the Monday' following, when he was apprehended nearly on the same spot where he had committed the. robbery. It appeared, that in consequenee of the information of. Doflor Hamilton, and the description given of the offender, the gardens were watched, _and the Prisoner recog nized and secured on die following Monday. The Prisonerhad nothing to urge in hiS defence, and the jury, without hesitatioh, pronounced .Death. ROBBERY IN A DWELLING-HOUSE. John Laftvrerce was indiled for stealing two silver Spoons, the property of Mrs. Sony, in her dwelling-Jmuse in York place, Portman-square. It appeared from the .evidenee of ; Lord Ports mouth, that, as his tordi3hip was proceeding to his house in Portman-square, he observed' the; Ptioncr coming up the steps of till! urea of Mrs. Solly's house,- and he heard. .some thing drop from him, which, however, he. did not stay to pick up. Ima gining he had been committing a:theft, he secured him, and alarmed the house. Several persons eame up and searched the 'Prisoner, 'and oir his person were found two sil ver s p oons , w hi c h the servant of Mrs. Soli) , proved to be the property of her mistress. The defence set up f o r t h e P r i soner wa s, 'that fi e was insane, and in suppo rt o f i t a German Jew sal -disant Physician,- of the. name of Lion, wa' called.. The Prisoner is also a -Jew. Th e Dator was interrupted in his jarg on by an o ffi c er ofjustieel , who stated 'that the Prisoner Was, a common thief, well known at the Public Offic'es ; 'that he made a praftice of shamming mad, and had been, for a for met. offence, tried, convicted, and sentenced to 3 year's imprisonment. The Prisoner Was found Guilty—Death. The Judge reprimanded the Dodur. A richer treat was never experieUced by the Pub• lic, than what the Entertainments of - last night af forded at the Royal Circus, Sr. George's-fields.
