HANAU, OcT. 3. • IT is remarked that - Troops are still drawing from Bavaria into the Palatinate. Some ne . vi , differences have arisen between the Duke and the States of kiiirtember. The inhabitants of Cleves an d Meurs :hae re_ fused to submit to the jurisdiClion of the' Supreme Court of Justice at Ca/ove, - orders to that purpose shall have been received from Berlin. At Appenbeim, on the ist instant,' a ship, laden* with various commodities,. was again stopped.; and immediately confiscated, by tithe French Officers of the Customs. It was coming from the Frankfort Fair s and going to the Bi-isgaiii and hq4 already paid the toll at Mentz. The navigation - ef the Rhine is now lentirely at A static'. Mr. Fox has, it seems, given great diignst to many of his political friends by his speech 'at the Shakespeare. They say it is impossible to make head ar tail of it; 'that it is a clumsy effort at trimming ; for the peace and againit it; for the new Ministry and against them. But consistency never was a striking feature in Mr. Fox's political cha rafter or condul, and' his habits are too inveterate to promise much hope of change for the better. There is some proof of good management in M‘r. SHEittiAN's absence from town on a certain Anni 'veriary, as he ardidcd the necessity of delivering his sentiments on ithe Peace. Though to do Mr. SHERIDAN justice, - it must be acknowledged, that on all subjects which essentially relate to the honour abd interest or this Country, 'he has always_ been inure open and manly than-any of his Party. An Extraordinary Crazette has been published at Madrid, to announce the recovery of the KING of SPAIN from the. indisposition with which he had been afflitted. Considefing -the quanritv of blood that he lost, and the , other remedies that Were advted, .the busineis certainly deserved an extraoi.. dinar) , Gazette. • .1 The Spanish Ainbassad'or- at Vienna hap had his solemn audience of leave of the Emperor,, and will re turn to Spain by way of Italy. The non-acknow ledgenaent of the new King of Etruria is said to have given offence to the Court of Madrid, and to have • occasioned the recall of the Ambassador. Many failures are expeaed in Hamburgll,7-in consequence of the unexpeeted conelusion .of Peace between England and France. The greatest de spondendy was exhibited on every countenance on Change after the arrival of the intelligence, mer chants having speculated in the prodalions of both the Indies to an extent greatly beyond 'their capital. Mr. DE GEilst,Eti, Minister at Hiidblirghausen, in Saxony, has entered into a very minute evunina.: tion of certain Historical ,faEts, and has discovered that the'Royal House of Brandenburgh is the most ancient in Europe, at least of any reigning family. He is descended from the Go ELPHS, from wheric,e spring the Princes of nrunswick. The present King of Prussia is descended in the 4.9t1r degree; from AG', chief of the AGILOLFINGS ; in the 44th from ME ROU EE, King of France ; and in the .4.zd from WALDESTRADE, mother of the whole family of the Gu E I:PHS. On Tuesday Lord ELDON received the Diploma, of Doctor of Civil Law, in full Convocation at Ox fore, in consequence of his recent appointment as High Steward of that University. A. thousand Prisoners' of War have been sent from Yaxley Barracks within this fortnight, on their way to France. _ . . On. Wednesday, while• a young Lady, forming part of Colonel SLADF.'S family, was walking on the Cliffe at' Ratrigate, she by some, accident slipped over, and was dashed to pieces. The most brilliant illumination in the. County of Suffolk, was at E. Dmry's, Esq. theprove,,,Yox-- ford ; a number of grand transparencies were dis played ; the most particular and worthy of notice were, His Majesty's crown 'encircled with laurel "leaves, and may the Xing live with us to enjoy the .blessing of Peace and Plenty. The . Villagc of Yox_ ford,. near Mr. DA.VY'S Park, was beautifully illu- Minated. 'The bells *ringing, balls, ~&c. &c. con cluded the evening. On Friday eight, or Saturday morning, the count ing-houses of THOS. A7DERsort, of - Upper. Thames. street, were broken open, and considerable property carried off. • tiIEATRE; ARTAXERKES. Pe/try:Line. There was as large ad audience on Saturday last at this Theatre; as ii Mrs..BiLtmcirON had then made her first appearance sinog her return from Italy. PerhaPs, indeed, the fameArher pdwers' increases as they arr . more known Consequently those powers become pr , p7-.. - tionai:-1y more attractive. It is certain, that afar from sitiating, thQse who hear her every night are more ,desirous of renewing their' enjoyment. She gave. her Recitatives In a more beautiful style than a;-cr.; and was surpri-' singly excellent in the airs, three of .which were, as usual, encored. The applause which she excited was indeed so load andperseverit, , ,- thai she-had reason to he aPprehensive lest she . shoulkl - be obliged to sing " Let not .rage," anti, "TAe Soldier tied," .a third time. The deliCacy and expression in the first was finely contrasted by the neat and rapid execu.- tion of the latter ;' and they both exhibited the of the Art. Amidst all the applause which this great . Vocal Performer e - kcited, the merits of Mrs. MOUNTAIN were by no means" negligently regarded. - She was admired by the Connoiseurs, as well as by the Au dience in general. Few performers cultivate their profession more, assiduously, and very few display greater bigi-is of irriVrovement. We'have never seen ilibaces so well supported in point of aaing, as well as in vocal -merit. _ . . , DIGNUNI roused himself from his usual' torpor; and gained a favourable notice. KELLY'S Artabanes is really ,a good specimen of operatic ading. This Opera, which is an admirable specimen of musical genius, and places the name of ARNE high on the records of Harmony, is, in point of splendor. in the dresses, and grandeur in general costume, 'prought forward in a manner very credi-. table to the lheatre. Wheat The importation of W from Tuesday to Fri_ day inclusive,, amounted only to 2960 quarters.; Oats .t0'3830 quarters ; and2Fl9l# to 3320 cwt.-- 'The bounty on the importation of grain finally ter_ minated on the isth ; the'ACl confined it to the ist Of 05folier, but allowed ',the Commissioners of. the Customs to continue theipayments to the isth, on the Consignee and Master of the Vessel snaking oath that she had sailed from the Port abroad- at such period As would have admitted ofher arriving in Eng land on or before the Ist of Olober, had not un favourable winds, or other casualties, prevented her so doing. - The pride of wheat, in the early part of the 'week, fell nearly Bs. per quarter ; but on Friday, advanced" 2 or 35. Oats and beans each, 'about six shillings cheaper ; and flour has fallen to sixty shil lingS per sack. • • Foreign" red wheat sells at z 6 to 565. per quarter; and white. 48 to 68s, per quarter; English red 3o to 645. and white 46 to 68s. ; rye zi to 355. ; bar ley i 8 to 3os. and fine, for mdlcing, to 435.; and oats Is to 365. ; American flour, of which there is much at market, sells at from 22 CO 375. per bar ' rel of T 9611). The Country Markets are, without exception,. f.Alling in price, and will be lower. At f;ppingham the price of , wheat fell 165.. per quarter during the last week ; at Newark 165.; at Lincoln to%; at Lynn los. (the best now selling at 6os. quarter), and at - NOrthampton Bs.. At Canterbury, flour has , fallen. Cos. per sack, viz. to 6os. and the price of the quartern loaf has been in consequence fixed at rood. At NOtwich; wheat has fallen'Bs, per quarter, and flour r3s. 6d. per sack. • , At Oxford,' the peck loaf, which a few months- since 'Cost 6s. now sell 7d. • At Bath, the'averaged price; offlonr on Wednes '..day fell from Bls. Bd. - per sack, to 765: and:the price of the quartern loaf was,. in consequence; duceds-i-d. namely to io§:d. The quartern loaf, ;it Sherborne,. seals at .xod. 'at 1 - luntingdon lod.—Peterborough told ; and at . Cambridge, at 9{-d. The averaged price of wheat throughout Smith Wales, , does' not exceed..B2p:per bushel. At Northleach, where wheat some short time past sold at 26s per bushel, the averaged price is now no . thore than Bs. 3d: per bushel of nine and a half gallc'ptls. Ai. Worcester, where like price was demanded, the same measure sells' at qs. , At Hereford, the bushel of . wheat (to gallons) sells at - ts, and at Worcester, at from gs. to ios. 6d. 'At the. latter City, and at.. Exeter, the shilling loaf weighs sth. oz. 7 drs. • At Plymouth, within a fortnight, the price of wheat has fallen more than one s third, namely, to •r 95. 6d. her bag. At EQdmin, wheat sells at seven shillings per bushel. • At Stifford, Derby, Chesterfield,. Ashbourne, Royston, Doncaster, Gainsborough, Chester, Nant - with, Sheffield, Wakefield, Warminster, Newbury, and Devizes, the price has fallen Ss. to 1 . 0. per • quarter. American Flour ,sold on Wednesday, at Port Gl a sgow, at 26 to 2Ss. per barrel. Ac Haddingion, the Quartern Loaf is sold for ninepence. At' Portsmouth the price of provisions, generally, has fallen one-third in consequence of Peace ; and at Dover, fowls, which used to sell a few weeks since. at 3s. 61. .now go at is. 6d.; butter, which cost 20a. per pound (of 18 ounces), now sells at nine pence ; and bUtcher's meat has fallen three-pence per pound. Similar reduEtions have taken place through out Kent. • The importation of Butter and Cheese, from the Continent. within 'a few w&ks past has been very considerable, and should tend to lower the price of those articles.--During the last, week, r3B ion Of Butter, and 34.5 tons of Cheese were received from Holland: there was likewise a large quantity of Butter imported within the like period from France. Most of the Butter carried to Bury Fair remains unsold, the dairy-men refusing- to acceJe to the great reduCtion in the price.

The darkness : of the evening added Much to the beauty of • the 'cffea, produced by the quick fire from the musketry running ,throtgh the ranks ,whilst the di ims beating a:point of war, and' the Bands of the : Regiments striking up those favourite national tunes, gave the whole a grand military ap rpearance, truly novel and pleasing. The signal for firing was conveyed by six long 24 —pounders, which were placed on Haidown-hill, about five miles from Exeter, from whom also it was received by the'Kenton and Powd.:rhani Corps, as well as by the Regiments encamped on Wood_ bury-hill, whose fires could be distinetly seen from the houses on Southernhay Place. At Exeter a number of - whOlmme Con . viaions took plaice during the last,week: One man was fined 55. for . not sweeping the fOotway before his' door ; another for leaving baskets of vegetables before his door, to the annoylllce of *passengers ; a third for. leaving his horse and Cif tt in the streer, without: ;Inv person- to take care of them ; with many others to the like effed.

A veteran tar appeared on Friday at Guildhall, before Mr. Alderman WATsote, the Sitting Ma gistrate. He said .that he came for the first time in his life to ask for what he:. Was almost a..hained to ask, viz. a pass, to Portsmouth, to meet his wife and five children:Hie - 1M been wounded in the service of his conntrrin several engigementS, and appeared to be an honest well-bred seaman. He fe.rther said, -.that he had fifty pounds four shillings to receive from the..agents, at the Guildhall Coffee- .• hotise, where he had been thatday in -the hopes of .• • • ng . receiving it, and of going down with it to glad his wife and children's hearts, but.lci. his great disap. peintmerit was informed that it was not 'in the course of payment—till—next month. This brave fellow belongs to the Sirius. frigate. The worthy Alderman told him that 'his; countenance was suffi cient to convince him of hiS merit, and that he should have a pass, and some Money to help him on the road. The. Alderman then pulled out his purse, and with great humanity gave him a donation in addition to what he had Ordered him. The 'poor fellow received it with suitable expressions of tltank. fulness, and by- his respectful and modest behaviour impressed every person present with the most exalted opinion of the worth of a British Tar. At Canterburyom Thursday, the day fixed by the Corporation for the-celebration of the return of Peace, a large assembly of children dressed in an cniblematical,manner,, with wreaths of laurel round their heads, and' festoons' of , flowers entwined in their dresses, paraded the streets in the 'evening. Men held'arches or bowers of oak over them, and they were lighted by candles fixed in garlands ofpalm.

Some tliteves got into, the area of a house, occupied by Mr. Dell, broke ihrou t _,) the kitchen Window; forced their way into the wine-cellar, and regaled themselves with cold ham and veal, Which they found in the larder, with plenty of liquor. They broke open a bureau in the back parlour, and took out .of it about 301. in cash and notes. They endeavour_ ed to force the iron chest in the same room, but' 'could not. After they had done this, they pa-eked 'up four dozen of wine, Port and Madeira, and got safe off with their boozy ; though there were a pri. • vane watchman and a county patrole in friN of the house. P.
