M. WE have this moment received, BY EXPRESS, Paris Papers to the i ith instant. They contain the Treaty of Peace between France and Portugal, which we shall lay before ourßeaders tomorrow. These Papers are wholly barren of intelligence. An article from Genoa, of the 24th ult. states, that their Port is again open, the English having disappeared from their Coast. The discussion is closed in the Germanic Diet, relative to Indemnities. The majority of votes is for a Deputation of the Empire. It is believed that Ratisbon will be the place of that Deputation. The account of the signing the Preliminaries of Peace between Great Britain and France, has caused the greatest joy wherever it has spread, throughout the Continent. On the 6th, it was announced at Strasburgh by the Telegraph ; and as that is the birth-place of M. OTTO, the people celebrated the news with the greatest exultation. The French Tiers Consolide were on the 9th at 55. 70. The following Letter was sent to the French Pri soners confined in Portchester Castle, on the Preii rninaries of Peace biting signed : " London, Olober r, reth year. THE COMMISSARY OP THE FRENCH IttPUI3LIC; IF: ENC.- LAND, TO THE SECRETARIES OF FRENCH 1./ASO VtitS OF WAR, AT TI DEPOT 01 PORTSMOUTI!. " Citizens—l am eager to inform you that the Prelimina ries of Peace between the French Republic and . Great Bri tain were signed last night at London. May these happy tidings resound throughout the Prisons; and may each of your comrades of mistbrtune learn that the moment of his deliverance is not far off. Assure them of the interest that their critical situation has always inspired me with, and that I shall employ myself without intermission, with the means by which they may be restored to liberty and their, families. Health and Fraternity. (Signed) " OTTO." The following Doggrels were stuck ❑p in vari ous parts of the City last week : Peace, Terms, - Nation, - - Alley, Bulls, - Bears, - Consul, - Minmter, All, Ratified, Vilified, Satisfied : Petrified, 'Gratified, Mortified Magnified, Glorified, Elearified. The entertainments concluded at Drury-tine Theatre in the midst of the storm on -Saturday night, ' which produced the greatest consternation in the crowded Coke-rooms and Lobbies, where the lightning flashed while the thunder roared.—Se veral Ladies fainted, and the shrieks and groans of others were awful. Half_a_guinea was given to a hackney-roach for a shilling fare, and even at that price it was difficult to obtain a conveyance, A very ludicrous case-of Crim. Con. is likely to engage the attention of the Court of King's-Bench next term, in which the , parties are two Attornies. It is not yet decided which is to be Plaintiff, as both parties have been equally guilty of trespass; and a set-of might, with great moral propriety, though perhaps not ir,, , ;ad?y, be pleaded by either side. General LAU R !STOW'S good fortune is certainly not small. He is not only to be the bearer of good news, bat as won as hearrives, is"to find an Estate ready for him. This is, indeed, to the French Of ,ficer, -Peace and Plenty. The First of °Sober will now he remarkable in theAlmanack for two events. In the Calendar we ball find ‘r Pheasant-shooting begins,'• and in the Chronological Table we shall be informed, that Afita-ektating. exdod PATRIOTIC ORATION; DELIVERED ON SATURDAY, OCT. 'Tis now, my good Friends, twerity-one years ago, -Since for Westminster .I became Member, you know. A long, struggle I made, and at last I got in, But Who were my Ifcters I car'd not a pin. To oppose, right or wrong, those in Pow'r; was my plan, This for you was enough, and you made meyour 'Twas fiaternig to me to be marled by your choice, But more flattering effecis were atchiev'd by my voice; For, united with other great men, 'twas my pride, From BRITAIN her COLONIES soon to divide. In the late War with FRANCE I still took`thc.same part, For I own Opposition is clear to my heart ; Since for many long !. ears I have found it in vain, To offer myself for Employment again. The result of the American \Vat is most cleat— It confirm'd a L;rand principle we all revere— It confirm'd a great truth, tint tho' Courtiers will probe,- -RxvoLur lox must triumph all over the Globe. You have seen many faults in my conduCl, I fear, But know, in the cause of the ilLb I'm sincere, Wherever they rise, -whatever mischiefs they reach, They shall have my assistance, at least in a Speech. And hence I pronounc'd it a very bad thing, To say ,to all Frenchmen " you must choose a King." But, if said or not said, 'tis no matter, d'yc see, For the cry prov'd a very good w.itch.st , crd for me, We had no right to check the republican axe, Or, without their consent, the Am:RIC AN s tax. Such a war to oppose will be always my plan, I oppos'd it indeed long " before it began ;'' And yOti hence may infer that I fu;ly•inteild; To appose it again, tho' tis new at an end. In this City I'm sanguine enough then to hOpe That none can be found who would doom me a rope. This War, we perceive, is at last then to cease, And I .look • with the eyes of a friend upon PEACE, In hopes of new contests it bears not the germs, I will not too rigidly canvass the Terms. There are two ways indeed that the point may be weightd, The Terms of the Peace, and the time When 'twas made; The Terms arc of little importance, I' think, And, therefore, that part of the question Pi/blink. An Island or two in the East or the.Wesf, In themselves are, perhaps, no great matters at best, But are things of much value, indeed, I maintain, Compard with ayears or a month's new campaign. I wish, as to time, I as little.could say, But I something must blame,Zor I'm cut of my..tvgy ; Yet do not suppose I think Peace comes too soon, No, come when it will, 'tis a very great-boon ; But though I rejoice that all warfare is o'er, We could Peace, Um persuaded, have had long before; And I ask, with some confidence, whether or no, We might not have had it full twoJears ago— And if France was net then well inclin 3 d to concede The very same terms on which now we've agreed You, my friends, then foresaw, with discernment most shrewd. The result of the measures which then were fmrsu'd, You petition'd for Peace, but your pray'rs were not heard, For a change in the Ministty—nene of them stir'd.— At length, as we know, a few Members went out, But as to a change, I am still in a doubt. Of those who succeeded I did not 'think high, To you, my good friends, I need hardly say why, Since I and my Party once more were :burs, by. Seine complain that we gain not our obje& in war, But that was an ohjeii - . my soul must abhor. For what was that obj..2a, I beg leave to say, But the hope of restoring Monarchical sway. By the Terms of the PEAci, both in spirit and letter, We give up this hope, and hike it the better. We have lost much, ray Friends, but had reason to fear, : The loss of much more, had Peace ; stay'd:till next year; But abroad' now our feelings, no longei need roam, And at least we may try to da ione:hing at home. Then rejoice that Wt. 's gone, that great Cask for the worm 4 Give welcome to PEACE, and ne'cr canvass the Terms. On Friday a grand illumination took place, oti account of Peace, in Plymouth. A number of elegant and appropriate transparencies were exhi bited on the Hoe. There was a bonfire of 7.00 pitch, tar, and oil barrels, which had a grand effea. The ships in the. Sound and Cawsand Bay had their top lights out, and displayed a profusion of blue false lights, and beautiful sky and star rockets. Several persons apprehended for firing off pistols, squibs, &c. in the street on Saturday, were brought before the Magistrates at Bow-stieet yesterday, and dismissed on their promise of riot being guilty of the like in future. Arri.EsttAw FAIR.--The Flow of borsetsbire and Somersetshire Ewes, previous to Weyhill Fair, was held at Appleshaw. as usual, on Thursday and Friday last. The number was not so great as on former years, a circumstance accounted for by the unwillingness of the breeders to sell, on. account of the hixuriant growth of food on every farm. The number was, however, upwards of . ts,ooo, and the sale was very brisk : the prime forward Ewes were sold at an early hour the first day, and the remainder early the second day ; not a Ewe remained unsold. The prices were from 38s. to .655. a head. A wooden house which stood on Little Tower Hill, called True Blue, and which was a rendezvous for Volunteer Seamen, was wilfully set on fire about eleven o'clock in the forenoon of yesterday, by some boys, and was burnt down in two hours. On Friday morning last, about five o'clock, a young female, very genteelly dressed, was taken out of a ditch in Horsernonger-lane, in a state of apparent insensibility. It was with the greatest difficulty that the people extricated the unhappy girl, as she had got far under some arch work, where she was almost hid in the mud. She was taken to an adjoining house, and every comfort administered, but no account could be obtained of the manner that led to her deplorable situation, . - The Brig Providence (of Hamburgh), is arrived Bourdeaux from Dieppe, with damage, PR IZE-FIG IN' consequence of a battle ivnich had been . F.x0.1 late on Sunday c'.'eni;,g "to take pl%e a 5,, yesterdlY morning, at EnfiLid Wash ; between two notorious Prize-fighters, Belcher and Bourke, the-road to that place was crowded with carriages, and horse and foot, beyond any thing we en,•cr rceolled to have witnessed ; one might have supposed that scarce a vehicle of conveyance had been left behind in town, from the post-coach and four to the, donkey. It was near one o'clock before the whole of the multitude was colleled on the spot where the stage was ere6ted. They waited patiently for an hour and a half, expeaing to he rewarded by a display of such skilfulness as would astonish the amateurs of Pogilism. Astonished they were, for at that period Bortke appeared, -and : was ushered on the stage, when it was . - supposed he was pre paring for the contest, by strippintr off his coat and trowsers ; however, it proved he was only preparing for a speech, which in substance was, that “1-ie came there according to agreement, to fight Belcher who,, for what reason he knew not, had not come forward ; and further added, - that he was ready to fight hiM at any time or place." . 7(2.: Ward, a pugilist, came forward, and said that Belcher was taken into custody early in the 'morning by the Bow-street Officers, as' he was leaving his lodging for the purpose of 44 - -; tending his engagement—that no othei reason would have prevnti-d him from meeting his op. ponent. As ,there now appeared no prosped of a battle, the people began to disperse, evidently disappointed, for they had calculated on a ter. tainty of its taking place, as every precau- Jinn had been used to prevent ,interruptiOn.---' The stage, was fixed on a spot or grotind on .one side of the River which divides fa! Counties Or Essex anti' Hertford ; so that in case they had - been molested on one side, they could have retired. to the other. A number of Cavalry, and the' Volunteer Corps of Edmonton and Enfield, with a largeolivision of the Tower Hamlets made -their appearance about :two o'clock, with the intention of preventing the battle taking place, had both the combatants come forward. 1-lad they been obliged to make the attempt, they would, hov. , ever, have met with much inconvenience, as the stage was so difficult of access, .from its situation, that before it could be approached, it 'was neces sary to ford the River, which could not be dewe • without danger; yet many horsemen, as well es Others in chaises, aftcmpted it with success, but ne horse was drowned. As the people were returning to Town they met Belcher on the road, near tdinoa ton, who explained to them the circumstance which had detained him. ,It appeared that af t er he had been taken into custody by Townsend, the Bow_ street Officer, he was carried before Mr. FoRD, to whom he gave his promise not to tight this or any other pitched battle within the juitsdidion •of the Office, and was liberated abOur three o'clock in the afternoon. MURUER. , ---The following dreadftd circumstance lately occurred in the neighbourhood of Stra,burgh. A - man of the narife of Nemot;:who had for some time, been employed in a manufadory, and whose industry was not equal to the maintenance of his family, conceived the horrible design of putting them all to deaths . His family consisted of his wife and three iCinale cLitdren i the: o!dc, , t of whi c h was about thirteen years of age, and his sister, who, horn a -disorder in her eyes, was nearlfblind. On his return !ionic from labdur on the .evening. of the 3d* ult. he'Mingled in the - porridge which Was set before the family, about a drachm of white arsenic, which he had procured - frOm a' Chemist in the neialibourhoerd.. •Vhe effects `OF-the -,poison were soon felt,. and in the course'of the night the children fell victims to it the two females suffeied dread fully, but the man himself did. nor appear to have sustained any very great injury. The cries of the women in their agonies soon brought the neigh. hours to their assistance, and the 'husband -was discovered weltering in his blood, having divided the veins of his arms with his field knife. ThOugh scarcely able to speak, he gave an account of the ttansadion as it happened : medical assistance was called in, but he, was beyond the reach of art, and he expired on the evening of the 4th of September. Citizen GARNER 111 1 . irritated by.. some observa tions of the Newspaper Wits of Paris, on his aerial voyage of the 14th July, has published sdnie de. tails respeding that voyage.. On that day he ascended from the Champs Elysees, accOmpanied by his wife, nd the Citizens Nottrr and BEAU. VATS ; in thd evening he discontinued his voyage at Ferti sous Jouarre. It was resumed on the fol. lowing morning by the Citizens NoLIN and BEAUVAIS only. The new voyagers were buf feted by the winds ; they encounteted squalls. and torrents : they ran over the Departments of Seine and Marne, the borders of that of the Ar.. dennes, and then that of the Aisne, in vrhich they descended at Saint Thibatid, near the house of Citizen .D'ORmEssom. Departing thence, of a stay of one hour, they coasted along the' De partment of the Somme ; from which they were borne back on that of the North. At Trelorr, near Maubeuge, they were ti ader the necessity of de scending once more, with the intention 'of remount.. ing again the moment after. Vain hope ! the pea sants of the village having tampered with the bat., loon, rendered it impossible for them to proceed ; and the aeronauts were consoled for this vexation only by the excellent reception which they met with from Citizen LEmmEks. The two celebrated ripe-trees of Hampton. Court, and Valentines, in Essex ; have been amaz. ugly produ&ive this yeti, the former having yielded one ton six hundred and fifty pounds weight, and the latter one ton two hundred and iruienty-seve77 pounds . For one year's stop of the last-menticbcd vine, the late Mr. WEiTirt, about fifteen yeart since gave the stint of 400 guineas. At the Sessions held for the County of liuritirg. don, on Tuesday last, Mr. Tuots.tAs RtrA r:Nt•ro of Ramsay, apothecary, was cOnvitied of rt.t larceny, for stealing turf on Wednesday, the ztl f September last, from Mr: Beard, of Ramsey; and sentenced to be imprisoned in the County gaol for the space of six Calendar Months / and to pay a fine of Sol,
