THE SUN. IOLSNI . QUIS DICERS rALsubl. AUDZAI ? LONDON, SEPTEMBER 17, 18ot. As this Paper was about to be put to Press, we received, BY Exrßrss, Paris Papers to the tsth inst. They contain little that is of importance. The two following are the only Articles which arc entitled to any notice : NANCI, SEPT. B.—On the day before yester day, in the afternoon, M. PAGET, Ambassador from the Ks NG Of ENGLAND, on his road to Vienna, to succeed Lord IVIINTO, passed through this place. He was preceded by Mr. EAST, one of the Mes sengers of the British Court. Messrs. SCHLADE and HERMAN, Members of • the Chancery of Ham burgh, returning from their Mission to the French Government, to Hamburgh, and in the evening Ci tizen Jos. VIET. IVlousoN, his Secretary, and five of the household of the Ambassador CHAMPAGNY, passed through here, on their road to Strasburgh, where they are to meet that Ambassador, who has taken the road to Besancon ; all of them repairing to Vienna. The French Ambassador is expeaed there on the 17th inst. RATISBON, SEPT. 3..-The Protest of M. LE I . kAm, against the Declaration of the KING of PausslA, was followed by a very' warm scene on his part, between him and M. GoRTz, but to this all his efforts will be confined, for the extreme coolness' with which his advances were received when he implored the assistance of the Imperial Commissary and the Austrian Envoy, have not escaped observation. The Tiers Consolitle is at 4.84-- nearly. THE Hambu;sh Mail, which became due yes terday, has not arrived, and we cannot but express our regret at the circumstance. ZVe expet`..l it with impatience, as ,it will enable us to determine how far we are to rely on the Letter from Munster, quoted in our Paper of Tuesday last. The EleCtion of a new Bishop, after the prohibitory declarations, on this subjeft presented by the Court of Berlin, and by the French Government s cannot fail to be. an important event for Germany. The manner in -which the Court of Vienna, and the Diet of Ratis bon will . aEt on the occasion, will shew whether they have still any inclination or any ability to op pose- the despotic principles which France and Prussia .are endeavouring to make them recognize and adopt. The Protest made by the Envoy of Cologne and of Munster, • against that of the Court of Pcussia, affords us some hope that the latter wil not effeet the object which it has promised itself. At all events, it does honour to the courage and to the political reCtitude of Baron LEIKAM. Not only has he shewn by his Protest, that the Treaty of Luneville, at least the Public Articles of it, con tained nothing tending to invalidate the Right of EleEtion, but 'he has besides positively and with truth affirmed, that the Treaty of Campo Formic, and the Congress of Rastadt, on which the Treaty of Lune•-ville is said to be founded, secured the Ger manic Constitution, and consequently the political Association of all its Members, of which the Bi_ shop of Munster is one. Whatever may result from these opposite transaEtions, we shall soon be in a state to see a little more clearly into the plans, the temper, and the relative state of the different Powers of the Continent, and to' judge what we .have to fear and what ;0 hope on the subje6l. A Plan of Defence, upon a more extensive scale, and more effeCtually calculated to answer-every ob jeCl, than 'any which has been yet proposed or adopted, is said to be nearly brought to a condo. sion. It has been under the consideration of the Cabinet for three weeks ; and the late inspeetiun of the Coasts by the DUK E of YORK was intimately conneacct with it. This new System of Defence only waited for His Royal Highness's sanaion, to be carried into effea. - - According to report, for the accuracy of which we can, however, in no degree vouch, all persons capable of service, from the age of sixteen to sixty, are to be armed with pikes, in the Districts along the Coast most liable to any sudden descent of the Enemy. Some of the new regulations will, it is Said, probably appear in the Gazette of. Saturday. Mr. Fox, we are told, has taken a house in Town, for the purpose of attending his duty in Parliament the more conveniently ! The Party, or - rather the miserable remnant of the Party, no doubt flatter him with a hope cr being once more in power. If he should indeed ever be in Office again, he must as solemnly renounce his. admiration of French prin ciples, as he preached in favour of the French Re volution. But even if he were to make such an • open recantation, he has delivered so many opinions diametrically opposite to each otheri that when it served his turn, we might again expeCt to hear him pour ortla his enthasiastic eulogies on !‘ the most glorious 'fabric ever raised by' hunvn wisdom and integray." • ' • Yesterday a Court of Dire&ors was held at the sts. - India House, which was but thinly' attended, NAVAL , y.- NEW S. •••% ••••i r •`,l ' • , S 4 • Non RE imperiumpdagi, scevumpte.,tl:idcntem,.

IS morning we were alarmed by a report that intelligence had arrived by means of the Signal Houses, that the Enemy's Fleet at Boulogne had made signal for sailing ; but upon a Messenger being sent to the Signal House at Cumberland Fort, it was found that the signal which had been there exhibited was not of the nature apprehended. This day the Fly Sloop of War made sinal for Convoy to Newfoundland ; in consequence oi)f which Paxion,PUDDISCOMBE, from London to St. John's, which arrived yesterday, got instruaions, and it is expeaed they will sail to-morrow morning. Sailed yesterday, His Majesty's Ship Malta, Capl, BE RTI E, to join the Channel Fleet. The London, of 98 guns, Capt. MURRAY, is to sail to.morrow to join the Channel Fleet. Arrived this day, the.

The Kimg George Packet will sail, if favourable wind, on Saturday next, with the Mail of Tuesday next, for Lisbon. DOPER, SEPT. i 6. A Flag of Truce sailed from hence with Dis patches for France early this morning. YARMOUTH, SEPT. i 6. SAILED the Squirrel and Ariadne Sloops on a Cruize. Arrived the Lidultty, BOOTH, and Race-horse, REED, from London. The Driver and Lynx Sloops have detained and sent into this Port, the Norden, G. A. KLEYN mas ter, from Amsterdam, with goods, bound to Lis bon ; and De jafer Rarmyna, KLA4s WYK-. MEYER, from Amsterdam, bound to Bourdeaux with goods.- The Drake Cutter has a Signal flying for the )3altic, and waits only for the Hart Brig, which is expelled with her Convoy from the Note. DEAL, SEPT. His Majesty's Ship Hebe arrived yesterday from the Westward, and the Albicore Sloop of War this afternoon from Portsmouth, both of which remain. The Fliimer Gun-brig sailed this morning for Portsmouth ; and the East-India Ship Highland Chief, Capt. GR ES. NW AY, is arrived from the Ri ver, mid has proceeded on to the Westward, Capt. PARKER, Lord NELSON'S Aid-de-Camp, who was wounded in the thigh at the Attack on the Enemy's Flotilla off Boulogne, suffered ampu tation this morning ; and his Physician, Dr. BAIRD, considers him in as favourable a state as can be expe&ed. Capt. WHITBY, of the Severn Man of War, who returned about a month since from his West-India station, has within these few days been appointed Flag Captain under his uncle, Admiral CoRN WALLIS. The particulars of the gallant Adion fought off Rochefort by the A,tzelia Frigate, `Captain-HE BF.RT, mentioned in Or Paper of yesterday, are as follows :—On the zzd of August, she was order-, ed in by signal from the imp'etrieux, of 'B4 guns, Commodore Sir' E. PE LLEi+v, Bart. to reconnoitre the Eneniy,s Force in Rochefort. On her .nearing the Port, she observed two Frigates and a Schooner standing out towards her; one La Mediae, of 5 . 9 guns, and the Other a 44. gun Frigate. Capt. HER- B ERT immediately bore down, arid brought t h em to adion 'in the most gallant stile. In a short time the ci-devant Ainbuscade, of 32 guns, came out. to join her consorts, but the fire from, the Amelia was so well kept up, that the Freneh Squadron bore away for Port. The Amclia stood after them, ahci aeknallY lay to for them off the Harbour. The shore was lined with thousands of spedators, who witnessed the retreat of their Frigates covered with glory. The Amelia sustained butlittle and, having made her observations, returned to the British Squadron. The Brig Dispatch; Capt. OXLEY, of and from Liverpool, bound to New-York, on the 29th of June, lat. 40. ir . N. Fong. 49. 4 g. W. was boarded by a French Sloop ofVar, called the Fruiiir;' — or Guadaloupe, but not h'airing-arty cargo but Welsh Emigrants on board, after plundering the Dispatch of her stern-boat, and many other articles they wanted, the Enemy §uffered her to proceed on her voyage, and she arrived at her destined Port on the =1 of July. Capt. MEADOWS, of the Rebecca, from New- York, spoke the Harriet, Capt. JAcKsou (Trans. port) on the 24th ult. with Troops on board, under the Command of Capt. FULLER, 41st Regiment, bound for Halifax, in lat. 46. 33. long. 35. 30. all well. Hardly any thing was done at the Corn Market in Mark-lane yesterday morning in the Wheat Trade, few buyers being at market. The prices in consequence were about zs. per quarter lower than on Monday. Oats, Beans, and Barley, dull in sale, and at much the same prices as on Monday. Flour at Bos. Different statements having appeared in the Papers,.concerning the importation of Wheat and Oats, the following may be relied on as a true state_ ment given in at the Cocicet Office : Wheat. 192,290 1 3 1, 9 20 19,3t9 • ' 11,466 From July 25 to Sept. Iz, Sept. 14, is, 16 (3 days), Total z t 1,599 43,30 The following quantities of grain were last week imported into Hull, viz. 934.qr5. wheat ; '9Bz qrs. oats ; 9 qrs. rye ; 3 qrs. beans ; 13, qrs. barley ; and 4. cwt. of wheaten flour:' The Borough is crowded with hop• waggons throughout the day, with the abundant crops of the present season. Hops have .fallen to 31. abs. per bag, and they are as:fine as they are cheap. There wa,s, the largest show of cattle at Malden Fair, on Monday and Tuesday last, that has been known for many years past ; 'but the prices of beasts were held up so high, that none of the principal graziers would buy, expeting that the continuing dry weather must bring them down. Sheep and lambs sold freely and well. Some South Down shearling wethers fetched as high as 4.05. a head; wether lambs -z6s. and ewe ditto zis. The general meeting of the Western Agricultural Society for the show of prize cattle and sheep, held at Petworth on Thur;day last, was numerously and respeaably attended. The cattle exhibitEd - for prizes were of a superior cast, and commanded the admiration of all the best informed amateurs He sent. The sheep did not rank,so high in estima tion. Turnips, which so very lately were sold for six teen shillings, were, on -rilut.a..y inw as two shillings the sack, at Manchester : an extra ordinary difference in this useful article.—Butter has been much reduced in price in several markets, by a refusal to purchase at the high rate which is now asked for it. The Duke of PORTLAND, on his late visit to Mr. STURT, at Brownsea Castle, met with an unplea sant accident. As His Grace was looking up at the building, he suddenly tripped, and fell fiat on, his face. His hands' being in his breeches pockets, he made no effort to save himself, and consequently his whole length came in close contaa with the ground. His speaacles .were broken to . piecei on his nose : and yet, notwithstanding the severity of the fall, he did not receive the slightest apparent hurt, or even scratch. His Grace walked four or five miles afterwards without complaining ; but we are sorry to state, that on his arrival at Poole, he felt himself so much indisposed, that he sent for' a Surgeon. We begleave to caution the Public to secure the tops of their houses, as several attempts have been made of late to force a way in, by passing over the roofs of other houses. On Thursday night the , house of Mr. CHAmmv, in Cheapside, • Was at- - tempted to be broke open by some villains, who succeeded with an iron crow in forcing open a strong door at the top of his honse. Fortunately there was an inner-door still stronger, which they were attempting to force and cut, hut were heard by two Ladies who slept immediately under. On examin ing the tops of the houses near, it seems they had come over at least twenty houses, and had got out at the top of'an uninhabited house in a court in Fos. ter-lane. • • In the evening of Sunday sennight an alarming fire broke • out in the Blue Bell Public house 'at• Clinton,. near Peterborough, which raged with such fury, owing to the then dry state of the thatch and .timber, that in less than half an hour the house was burnt to the ground, and part of' two adjoining tenements were consumed. The fire was occasion ed by a young woman dropping a candle in a bed room, where a quantity of gleanings.were deposited, which instantly taking fire, communicated to the roof; not an article of furniture could be saved, and with difficulty the children in bed were rescued from the flames. Sunday morning, about seven o'clock, a hare was discovered in the fields near Kentish Town, and . Was immediately pursued. At Pancras it swam across a 'pond, and was alrbost .surrounded by its followers. It thus continued its route 'to the turnpike by the New koad4AarTattle.bridge, when a man was very near. knocking it down with his hat; and a gtey hound, who 'happened to be there, with too much eagerness to catch it, leaped over 'its back and missed it. It then crept between the 'narrow raids, and ran across the lawn before the Inoculating Hospital. This inclOsure for some time obstru4ed the pursuit. It afterwards fled across the fields to Maidcn.lane, and up towards Copenhagen:house. 'Here pool' puss had the good fortune 'to hide itself, and to remain concealed' somewhere about the brick-fields, though it was followed by a great number people with buil-dogs, fox.dogs, -119iers, pugs, and ,cur& in ;Abundamto • WEYMOUTH, SE PT. 2 5. YESTERDAY afternoon His Royal Highness the PRINCE of WALES arrived at Gloucester Lodge on a visit to THEIR MA J EST I ES ; soon after the PRINC E, accompanied by Lady M. WINYARD in a carriage, rode to the Quay to meet the ROYAL FAMILY on their landing. .Thelleatre last night was fully attended,. being honoured with the presence of THEIR MAJESTIES. The performances were well received.—Mr. SAND- FORD, whose benefit. it was, was much actipi'red in the Comedy of Know _yowl- own Mind. :Lady Bell, by Mrs.-BRAMWELL, Was ably supported.—Betwcen the Play and Entertainment Mr. SANDFORD de., livered a loyal, local, and Patriotic Address, in the character of an` Highland Officer, bearing the Flak taken from BOVAP ART E'S lllVincibles by the glorious 42d Regiment—The Performances concluded with The Prisoner .at Large.
