The Windsor Transport, which sailed from Bar_ badoes with the May feet, with provisions, and a part of the 45th Regiment, has been seized by the Prisoners, who overpowered the guard, after her arrival in the British Channel, and carried Ler to America. O n 'Tuesday last, as some workmen were digging a' well near Dover, they discovered a large' Iron Bust of Julius Cesar, with this inscription; " Ju lius Czsar, Ann. Rom, 384 ;" supposed to have been brought over by the Romans. _ There are strong reasons to believe, that a scar city of grain exists throughout the French Republic, and particularly at Paris. At a grand dinnerlately given by the First Consul, which was very nume_ rously attended, bread of a very inferior quality was served. This circumstance is noticed in pointed language by the Parisian Journals, and the bread extolled as good and pleasant. It is, no doubt, nientioned as an example for general imitation. Mr. ER I DAN seems to stand a fair chance to be chosen. Associate of the French National Institute. His talents and accomplishments in Literature none will question, and few will be found more willing, to admit nor to admire them than onrseiveS. - if Mr. SHER I DAN should be chosen an Associate for the class of Literature and the Fine Arts in the National Institute of France, he will hardly be in duced to decline the office, as it will certainly be a sine-cure. The last Fair at Frankfort was well attended, and the Merchants were well furnished with a number of Paintings by the most esteemed masters, all nenv and tainted for the occasion. Mr. ROBSON, who has thelfaeulty, by his own confession, of hewing silence, seems determined we shall never see silence with respet to hin%self in his Qazette. He, alniost every Morning Posts himself up to ridicule.

His Lord ship, after hearing the patties, ordered their nets to he destroyed ; out in consideration of their large families, the Officer interfering in their favour, and , they promising never to offend again, his Lordship very humanely forgave them the tine, which is five pounds each. Yesterday Richard Powell, a fisherman of Strand on the Green, near Kew, was ; brought before the Lord Mayor at the Mansion-house, and was fined rod. for obstructing John Rough the Assistant Water bailiff in the execution of his office, on the ' River Thames, near Barnes, on the 4th of September last. • Friday evening, about seven o'clock, a very me lancholy circumstance happened at Gloucester Lodge in Hampton-Court Park :—Mr. DAL LON, iNha . had lived as.

THE THE4Tk C. —SHAKESPEAK E'S fine IliStO. rical drama of King Henry the_Fift4, or Th,e of ilgincourt, was revived at Drury:l,ane Theatre last eight, and in a manner highly creditable to the management. The dresses were splendid, and the characters on the whole supported with eVi, In fad, however, the charaCter of Henry is the only one in the Piece that demands any great portion of ability, This Charancr KENIBLE always repte -sented with suitable dignity, feeling, and spirit ; and he did not manifest any abatement of these quaj lities last night. WROUGHTON in the Duke of Ex:ter - deserves a dis;ina notice ; it was manlY and interesting. His account of the death of York and SzOroJk Was very alfeding. This Play abounds wuh passages admirably written, and peculiarly fal'culated to rouse the patriotism and martial spirit of Englishmen: There was a numerous Audi ence. ,PR LTRY—I,Ms2E 1 - H E ATR V..-In consequence of the multiplicity of. documents respe4ing this im portant concern, .now before, the Court of Chancery, and some new suggestions with regard to the inL terest§ of the Proprictos, 'Fru , tets and Creditors, the proceedingi, were yesterday further adjourned to Wednesday net. • Belcher, the Bruiier, has not 'been suffered to re- taro :the chatatter of 'Champion of England : he has been challenged (and it is accepted), by Elias Sspny, a•Coppermith by trade, and a townsman of Belcher's, from•i3rifcOl.

He has bequeathed to the ARCH DUKE CHARLES a Park which he possessed in the enrifons of Vienna, adding, however, a request, that His Royal Highness will permit the Public to enjoy the pleasure of walking in it. The Spanish Ambassador a; s our Court, the Marquis DEL CAMPO, who is at present at Pavia, has received a Courier from his Court, appointing him Spanish Plenipotentiary at Amiens. The New Constitution of the Cisalpine Rebdiic is formed on the model of that of Franca, but with this difference, that instead of a First Consul there will be a President for twenty years; to which eminent dignity, it is said, LUCIEN BONAPARTE will be appointed. ROME, Nov. 7. MR. DRUMMOND, after having staid here some days, set out on the zd for Naples, in.quaidty of English Minister to His Majesty the KING of the Two SICILIES• BAMBERG, Nov. zs.

HAGUE, Nov. 2g. THE terrible storm which began on Saturday evening, continued.with most unusual violence till yesterday morning, that is six days and six nights, and did incredible damage on our Coasts. We yesterday received accounts, that from , the r/ie,_ to Goree 33 Ships of different Nations were wrecked. The lower part of Amsterdam is laid under water. At Haerkm, great damage has been done by the sea overflowing the Slaper-Djke. On the zoth of December a Fleet of Merchant. men will sail from the Texet for the Mediterra_ nean, for the first time. It will have a Convoy to Smyrna, Admiral DE WTNTEK is returned from the Hague to the Texel. LISL2OIV, DEc. z. Jr appears that this cquntry, which has suffered least by the War, will enjoy the blessings of Peace in the highest degree. The Minister of State, Don RO,DRIGUEZ"de SotrA., and the Marquis de P,,)M 4AL,'whom the Prince has placed at the head of the Senate, are seriously intent on reforming all abuses in - Government. On the 26th of November, a Criminal who • had ,assassinated five persons, was executed ; and on the ;Sth, another Criminal of the same description shared the same fate. No such instaiices of justice have before been witnessed for these four years and a half, not indeed for want 'of crimes,: , for it is calculated that' assassination in . Portugal destroys no less that one person pet day' throughout the year. The Prince has promised to grant no pardon to any Assassin, and a Law has been' proclaimed by which such criminals are to be executed in three days. Notwithstanding this ex ample, ho.vever, a soldier of the Regiment of Lis bon stabbed a Portugueze seaman while a criminal • was carrying to execution; he was seized and car ried to prison. On the zsth, the very night be_ fore the first execution, a brave Officer ir, the Poi tugueze Navy was attacked in his bed at nine in the morning, and stabbed 'by three sailors in as many places.; 'notwithstanding this, he was able to seize his sword and tO drive away the assassins. His servant, who had left . his door open while he ran to the Apothecary's, has been detained on Suspi cion.---Trom this you may judge of the necessity and propriety of the ahoye Law. • A Mr. LETFIE has received public notice, that if he does nut fetch away his horse aim I chaise, they will be sold to pay exp ens e s . Judging from the name of this Gentleman, it is no wonder that he should be forgetfuL The observation that Lord HOLLAND sat on the woolsack on a .recent Occasion, has excited the ani madversion of a PtiblioTrint, which intiinateg that his Lordship is not likely to unite With. Ministry, but still to join in Opi4itiim,woo/lathering. At Reigate (Surrey) Fair, whlch was held on Wednesday last, there was a very handsome show of lean cattle, chiefly Welch, which, from the abundant feed, Were eagerly boeght up at high prices. Fat beasts were, in the language of the dealers, above all price. About 500 sheep were SheWn; and sold well. At 'the Adjourned Sessions at 'Guildhall yester day,- Several convictions for Assaults took place ; and Thomas Manica was tried upon an Indidment charging him with keeping a disorderly house near St. Mary Axe. This prosecution was instituted Icy, the Parish, .and supported by the City of Lon don.—The Defendant was, after the examination of several witnesses, convkled, and sentenced to one year's imprisonment in Newgate, tu'Which he was conveyed direaly. -• • • SMITHFIELD SOCIETY. YESTERDAY the Society held their Annivers7W Dinner at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, whet' the Duke of BEnFoiln was in the-Chair. His Grace' was supported by_ t h e E ar l of AL is Ehril ß LL , Mr' COKE, and a numerous Company of the most tinguished persons who have dire(fted their influence towards the improvement of their Country. His Grace gave as toast— The KING. Success to the Smith4cld Society. ProsPerifY to the industrious Grizict • Bree:hug in all its branche s .. After whiCh the Noble Duke in .4 short and clear Address to the Company; xtkplaindrl the oil* jet of the Institution, the 664 by :which the? • were asituated, the difficulties of prejudice they had to enconnter, and the means by which they hoped to be ultimately useful to thei r C ountry. His Grace said,_ the Society would persevere in their endeavours to p romote - t h e art of i m proving the Breed of Cattle and Sheep, against all the lin% founded prejudices Which were excited aga inst them. But if it could be shewn that their eifortt' tended in the slightest degree to raise the price of animal food, or give a pretence for its advance, then -they were resolved to dissolve their Society, and to' acknowledge their errors. Thev had not yet satisfied themselves, from the fats they had colleded, of their having attained sufficient infor mation to be practically useful ; but they thought that they had collefted many fats of importance, and had prepared the way for obtaining much va luable knowledge in future. From the experience they had had, they were resolved to require more minute information in regard to the breed and the feed of animals, and in the distribution of their ft.;• cure prizes. Tfie Noble Duke then read the Report of the Arbitrators in, adjudging the Prizes of the present year, and stated, that as they had expressed a doubt with regard to the second class, Mr. WESTCAR anti hiinself had concurred in desiring that the Premiums adjudged to them should be thrown into the Fund fnr the next year. His Grace then read the Proposal of Premiums for the next year, which are to be divided into nor classes than heretofore.
