BRIGHTON, J. 20. •1 HER MAJESTY' S N ata l Day_was, perhaps, never more generally and joyously celebrated, than at this place on Wednesday last. At"the Ave and thirty Gentlemen, among wh om were , G en er a l s Lord FIUTCHINsoN, LENNOX, CHURCHILL, HULSE, and HUGONIN; Colonels Sir R, WORSE.. LEY, SAYARY, BUSBY, LEIGH, and WALL; Major Sir CHARLES BURREL ; Captains Lords E. and W. SOMERSET, QUINTIN, MANAY, CALCRAFT, and SPRoULE ; Admiral Sir EDMUND - NAGLE, I. 4 CC. &C. partook of a sumptuous dinner with the PRINCE of WALES. From the Pavilion, the PRINCE of WALES and the whole of the dinner party, soon after removed to the Assembly at the Castle, where the happiness which his Royal Highness's presence diffuses, had been for some time most anxiously expetted. The merry dance had enlivened its votaries for some hours, and the company had just partaken of the usual refreshments of tea and coffee, when the PRINCE entered the room. About twelve o'clock the dancing again com menced with the merry air of " Moll put the ket tle on," which was succeeded by the favourite Scotch tune of " Lady Mary Ramsay;" at the conclusion of which the company adj.)urned to the Supper-room. The supper was not of the most splendid description we ever beheld, neither were the rooms illuminated in that striking and brilliant manner as we have sometimes witnessed. The supper over, dancing was again resumed with Lady Sutherland's Reel; and the company began not generally to retire until about four o'cloCk.— The PRINCE withdrew about threw. f) 7 I.! 1 3 New-York Papers to the )4.thult.are received. A letter from Washington, of Dec. s, says, "Capt.Roc ERS arrived at this place on Friday last. He has brought the important intelligence of the re. storation of Peace between the United States and the EMPEROR of MOROCCO. During the negotiation, our Frigates were • moored in battle array, within four hundred yards of Tangiers, for the purpose of battering it down, in case Peace had not been made upon the terms which he had dilated. Although upon the batteries of Tangiers there were rOs pieces of cannon, our Frigates were so stationed, that only 15 could bear upon them. This peace has been ef feeted without paying one cent for tribute, or as the price thereof. The brig seized at Mogadore has been restored. The EMPEROR was himself at Tan. giers with 20,000 men at the time." Letters of the 19th December from Gibraltar, State, that on the 16th the Monmouth and Agincourt Men of War, after having taken our their lower deck grins, had sailed with sealed orders, in conse quence of dispatches from England : their destina tion not known. The Atlas (rasee) of 74. guns, Veteran of 6+, and Alexandria and Greyhound Frigates, at Chatham, are ordered to be immediately fitted for sea. The West India Proprietors, according to re. port, have submitted a proposal to Government, s uggesting the expediency of suspending the Slave Trade for five years. Whether this proposal arises f r om a fear of increasing the negro population, after t he lamentable events which have happened in St. Domingo, or whether it results from motives of commercial rivalry, is not clearly ascertained. Both principles may be supposed to have some influence, but the former seems to be the most important, con. sidering the general diffusion of democratical opi nions, and the success which has attended those opinions in St. Domingo. • Gcn. VICTOR., commanding the ,French Troops in Holland, lately forced a young Dutch woman of great beauty and fortune, into a contraft of marriage for two years, at the expiration of which period, each party is to be at liberty to do as they may think proper. The Lady's friends obje&ed to the alliance, and particularly urged, that as she might be deserted at the end of the term, her fortune should be held secure to her future occasions, but in vain : the matter was referred to the Chief Consul, and his decision confirmed the wishes of his creature. This example has encouraged others to like violence, and that unfortunate country is thus subjeded to a new speties of injury and insult. The Aid, WIK. CRANETCH, master, bound from Bristol to Dublin, was lost on the I ith instant, and, in the course .of the night, the wreck was towed on shore about three miles to the northward of Wick low. The Master and crew were saved ; but seve ral passengers, viz. Mrs. CRA.NETCH, Mrs. MOR- R SON, a Scotch Officer's Lady, a serjeant's wife of the t Sth dragoons, a servant maid, and the Cap tain's son, a youth of nine years of age, were drowned. A reward of one hundred guineas has been of fered for the discover)• of the persons concerned in the riot at Chester. At the General Sessions of Peace for Ipswich, held last week, IV. Lott and I. Pain were indifted for an assault on Saratt Morgan, by attempting to force her into a chaise with a view to carry her off; when Lott was sentenced to pay a !fine of zol. and Pain a like sum, and to be imprisoned 12 months in Bury Gaol. The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, computed from the Returns made for the Week ending the 18th day of .January, 18c4, is forty-four shillings and ten-pence three farthings per hundred weight. As a proof of the unusual mildness of the present season, a blackbird's' nest was found at Ely, on Tuesday last, with five eggs in it, and the old bird • sitting thereen. idUi'l.4 ARK VOLUNTEiR4 INFORMATI.bN was, o n Frid a y evening, received Foil!), that Lieut.-Col. At.cgcic,, of the Lnyal SouthwaFk Volunteers, arid Cdpl. CLIN- 1 sot., of the Light Company, in the same Corps, 11,14 engagcd to fight a Duel the foll Owing morning, in conseqUence of some dispute having arisen between them, relative to the tlkagieeme.nt which has lately and unfortunately existed in that Regiment. Sik R. roRD feeling, under the I;Articulat circumstances Of this case, the importance it would he .to pre vent the proposed meeting, Went himself it itnedi. ately into the Borough, with proper assistance, and succeeded in taking Captain Guiisog into custody. Colonel ALCoCK being from home, was not taken that night ; but it being dkovered, on inquiry, that the duel was intended tp ; r i ake.place on Wimple. don Common, Mr. SrAFs. au, the Chief Clerk, and Aiittists, one of the Officers, were sent to the, ground at the appointed time, where they found Colonel At. EdCli and his Second, whom they secured and brought to Bow-street ; where all the partieS were liberated, on producing hail to keep the peace, themselves in soot. each, and .the securities io the like sum. Colonel TIERNEY, and some of the Officers, attended before the . Magistrate. Much ill blood seems to prevail on the late ground of alter cation between the Field Officers and the Officers of Companies. The parties are, however, bound over to keep the peace. ' THE OPERA. King's Tt afire. A very numerous and splendid auditory attended the new Opera La liergine del Sole, on Saturday last. GRAssIN t exerted herself with increased ef feti, and perhaps rather too iealotisly, considering, that her cold is not yet entirely - reinoved. The feel ing and unaffected simplicity which charaderize her ading, have made a very favourable impression on the: Public, and however people may differ respeCt ing, her musical abilities, all agree in acknowledging that she has great taste, and is well acquainted with her art. There is much dignity as well as expres sion in her delivery of-the recitative. In consequence of indisposition, VicmsloNt could not perform, and his part was taken at a very short notice by Signora BOLLA, who made a very elegant appearance in virile attire, .tud , supported the part with correctness and spirit. The beautiful Thrj in the'46nd Aft was, as usual, encored. GRASSINI had a touching pathos in this Due, ancII3oLLA sustained her part of it with great skill, particularly as she adopted the Manner of VtuANotvt very successfully. _ _ The Divertisements went off as usual. DES HAYEs and PARI,,yr had a very charming Pas de Deux. Madam DES HAYI is by no means calcu.. laced to excel in :he grand style; in the rporti , ue and simple province of the Ballet she will probably become a favourite. DUBLIN, JAN. 17. ON Saturday last at six o'clock in the morning, a duel took place inside the wall of Lord ERR IS'b demesne., near Boyle, between Mr. ROBERT Butt. CHALL, jun. son of Mr. BURCHALL, of Carrick on_Shannon, and Lieutenant PAGE of the Louth Militia. Unfortunately, at the first fire, Mr. BURCHALOS shot took effeEt, and Lieutenant PA GE expired on the spot. The dispute originated at a ball at Carrick-on.Shannon, and the Gentleman who unhappily fell is much lamented. A duel was appointed by challenge to have taken place on Sunday last, in a field near the Grand Canal and Dolphin's Barn. The parties were a Captain of a yeomanry corps of this city, and a Lieutenant of a regular . regiment, on Dublin duty. Both Gentlemen came to the ground with their seconds, between eleven and twelve o'clock ; but before the duel could take place, Justice BELL interfered, and prevented it. An unfortunate circumstance took place a few days ago, in the vicinity of the city : The wife of one Broom, a Sheriff's . Officer,.. and Keeper of a lock-up house, eloped with a. Gentleman named Hume ; but the husband. having pursued the guilty pair, overtook them, and instantly shot the Lady's paramour dead on the spot, and wounded her in the arm .--Broom has been lodged in prison, to abide his trial. It is with concern we hear, that Lady ELEANOR BUTLER and Miss PONSONBY are in danger of being e xpelled their beautiful and long enjoyed residence in the Vale of Llangollen, by the purposed ereCtion of a Cotton Mill and ManufaCtory in their immediate neighbourhood, under the direlion of Mr. BID. D ULPH, Banker, Charing-Cross. The chief topic of conversation among all ranks of people at present is the extraordinary affair re. lative to Mrs. LEIGH. The general bent of opi nion, we are sorry to find, seems to be unfavourable to the Lady ; but if she really wished to leave her house with either of the parties, she took an un. accountable mode of accomplishing her purpose.' It does not appear that the person who accompanied her Had any particular destiny in view, and it is strange indeed that he was not supplied with money for the comm nn expenses of the journey. The memorable history of BETTY CANNING sinks to nothing in comparison with this enigmatical adventure. The Rev. W. R. CHURCHILL on Friday arrived at Yarmouth from France, having, through the ac tive interference of Mr. LI v INGsTON, the American Minister, obtained permission from, the Chief Con sul to accompany his brother, Mr. JOHN CHURCH. ILL, he being in a very ill state of health. The Derwent and atrtford Corps of Volunteers have made an offer to be embodied fur one month, in consequence of which they arc to assemble this day at Scarborough.

The money Was placed in the FUndS to xc. cumulate until the periodl of her taking pOssession. Mien in her ficteenth year she was Courted l) iii my young men of,fasbion, and she was then the Belle of Bath, being the toast in every gay patty. Among her suitors were, Lftrd SAY and SELF, and a Nephew' of the Earl of MAtciESPiELL7; she consented rui be. united to the latter Gentlernan. . equi page suitable to the Lady's fortune ed, the wedding Clothes were provided, the .ring hotight, and even the wedding dinner ordered but the night previous the Lady changed her mind, and would not haVe him. Meeting a short time afterwards Mr. LEIGH, the elegance of. iris perso'i and his gentlerrianly manners made so deep an pression, . that she agreed to- elope with him for Gretna Green, which plan was carried into execu tion in a few days, the Lady leaving behind her a numerous train of passionate adthirers. The mar riage with Mr...LEIGH took place in 1792, and about nine months after, the parties were separated, o,v. ing it is said, to use a fashionable phrase, the rz. K himiny disposition of the Lady. On the seora tion taking.plaCe : she relinquished a part of her for tune in favour of her hu,b.oui. The recent transaction seems the mare ea:mm;(li— nary the-more it is considered. a Lady, sur.. rounded by her servants, and in the heart of the metropolis, sh uld be forced from her hauSa, in op posttion to her v. fishes, is a twitter almost ia are dible ; she has, however, made attestation to tat! ciaoae ; and if the Jury to whom the question wilt he re ferred, give coedit to her tectimany, sup l oreal as it is by that of her maid, the Plisoners are liable to the penalty of death. The circumstances of Mrs. LEIGH having returned to the apartmaats of these Gentlemen, after being apprised of their parpose, and when, either by hetaerders for assistance, or by leaving the house, she might have assured her safety; of her consenting to receive the embraces of Mr. LAUDEN GortnoN, at Tetsworth, when by the slighest .communication of her condition, it is at least probable :dhe might have avoided the ; s4eAfice; and after this repeated violence, her accompanying him to Gloucester, will naturally inspire doubts as to the criminality of the Gentlemen to the full tent of the charge. Mrs. Lelata, in her examination on Friday, at flow-street, declined to state her dream upon oath before the Magistrates, but the following ace 'tont of it was given in a 'Paper of Saturday : On Thursday se'nnight she went into her bed. room about eleven o'clock at night. It wassverY cold, and a shivering came upon her. The shiver. ing continued for some time hi - ter she la)' down, ;r ad about twelve she fell asleep. In the course of the night she dreamed she was upon a lOne and desolate island. • A dreadful storm came on,•s• and' she saw two worlds corning in contact with each other. She saw written.upon the one, " the Western, and on the other the Eastern World." After a short con flia the Eastern world sunk beneath the Western ."world ; the former vanished entirely, and the lattet began to assume the shape of a man. In a few •rnia notes it stood a man complete, and she had a distinet view of his person and countenance. He appeared as if standing in a plantation of sugar-canes. He had a beautiful child in his arms, with which he came for. ward, and presented her ; but at this very moment a man dressed in black, rushed in between them, and the child fell to the ground. She shrieked and awoke. On her awaking she felt a violent palpita tion at the heart, and was greatly alarmed. She began to refle& upon the dream. Her thoughts turned particularly upon the man. His person and countenance were as plain to her imagination - as if he stood manifest before her eyes. He was a young man, about twenty-two, middle sized, well made, with an oval countenance, apparently discoloured by a warm climate, good teeth, and light'hrown haira In her dream it never struck her thati . .'Stie'had seen him before ; but after she awake, and had titnefor refection, upon a review of all her acquaintance, it struck her that the person whom she saw in her sleep was Mr. Lauver; GORDON. The more she reflefted, the more she was confirmed In•this idea ; and what struck"her particularly was, that the figure. seen in her sleep wore a beautiful ring, such as she had noticed on Mr. LAUDEN GoaDoN. She had been very restless for several weeks past, and had many dreams much more remarkable and curious, but none that made any impression upon her mind. The circumstances of this dream, howev.er, were constantly before her eyes, and she - could not banish it from her thoughts. With kview, therefore, to relieve her anxiety, she sent an account of it to Mr. LAUDEN GORDON requesting a solution. It described the man who appeared to her, as quite naked, and that he forced her into a bed with yeL, low damask curtains of an old flower pattern, and a painting upon the tester representing Adam anti h.q. , : in Paradise. There were some other par Letoars, which we do not chink fit to mention, and which probably induced the Lady to decline giving an ac. 'count of the dream to the Magistrate. CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 23.
