As our Paper was about to be put to Press, we te:eived Aloeiteurs to the Ist instant. On the 3oth, at six in the morning, the FIRST C9NSUL set off from Paris, but it is added in the Official Account, would be absent only a few days. From Bourdernzx we learn, that the sale of the Diarnonds taken on hoard the King George Packet Wiad produced sever, hundred and some odd thousands The official publication of the. exchange of Terri tories between Prussia and Bavaria has been made at Er/arrf. The taking possession and the organi_ of the Distrifts ceded to Prussia, have been tool ded to the Minister of State Baron tie HAP.. mtNnEtto, and a Special C ..mission. ' At the Diplomatic Audience held on the 25th ult., by the CHIEF CONSUL, the Count de CoREN-- zE r. the Imperial Ambassador, presented his Let. t;:.:6 of Credence as Envoy of the ELECTUa of "1 he Pilot of the Frigate jaszyt ha 3 been hanged v. the Hague for delivering that Ship up to the FroniHami,urgb„ under the date of the list ult. it i, said that the frost had set in-for ten days with The inhabitants have suffered much in .6 - lbewia from the immense gnantitie.s of Snow which. fell from the sth to the 9th of Dec. Several villages situated• in the mountains had become inaccessible. Round Pilsen, the whole country was covered with Snow to the depth of from- six to nine feet,. and in Hungary they feel severely, the rigour of the Winter. There was a arladful storm at Paris. on the zSth t ilt. which did considerable damage in that City. The,Freneh Funds on the 30th u:t. 53. go. THI , s forenoon," it ten Q!clock,. two flamburgh Rails arrived. The fonowing are their 'principal VI ENNA, DEC. z r.—With respeft to the dis- turbances that happened at Constantinople, the fol. .;ii;lowing advices have now been received-. For a long vime a secrct correspondence had been carried-on be. t:ivein the Rebels in Romelia and the mal-contents in Constantinople, who had invited the forder to aPpr,:ach the Capital. This they did, and after the departure of the last Post, even entered the City. The confusion was, it is said, extreme, but the ja. nissary Guacd of. the GRANn SIGNOR behaved extremely well, and defeated the Insurgents in several places: Those who fell into the hands of rb'ese Loyal. Troops. were put to death on the spot ; Q il e rs were strangled, and thrown into the Canal. Such. are the accounts we have received at Vienna orthese events, of which we wait more c i rcurnstan . tial details. DEC. 24.—:They write from Bucharest, of the .d.'te of the (St h inst. th:at a Russian Courier had been obliged to take a very circuitous route, on -account of the corninotions and confusion that prevail on the other side of the Danube, quite to Constantinople. The same Courier had iiketvi3e bat just left Con stantinople when large bodies of robbers approached that City. Er.glish Ambassador, Mr. Daum—q.oma, who has left Cunitantinopie, will return bottle through Nkliietvia. CONNTANTI !lotus, DEC. 3.—The greater part of o.le Inh4bitants of Constantinople and. its Suburbs, !lave for some days past been in a dreadful situation anti 'terror. The approach of two discontented ?Achill, at the head of a great body of Rebels, and the dangerous correspondence carried on be.. t.veen the Mal.contents in the Capital and the In. curgents, has occasiort:d an extreme confusion. What r , :isecl in. the Seraglio is not distinaly known, for the policy of the Porte cautiously avoids making public its dangers and fears; hut there was an ex traordinary aaivity among the Ministry;, and the neasures adopted by the Sultan in the Councils, which were very frequent and very long, had the hcst effeet. The Rebels, on the approach of the Janissaries, obliged to retreat ; and the Mal-contents within the City concealed themselves in their houses: m :m l,7 persons,. however, believe, that the retreat of the - Rebels has only been procured by money .#, , f , lrh has been paid them, and that they will pro. babl7 soon return, Be this as It ma y, tranquillity is now in a great measure restored. GENOA,, DEC. r2.—Letters received here from Alexandthrrof the date of the Bth, contain the follow ing advice : The Pachas who command the Turkish Garrison here, finding themselves every day more 'straightened by the Beys,and deprived ofevery means of defence,at length made proposals toevacuate Egypt entirely to them, under the condition, that the same Government should be restored in the Country as sub. sisted before the arrival of the French under 80. IittPARTE ; to this the Bus consented, as also to the further proposal of the Pachas, that this Convention should first be transmitted to Constan tinople, and receive the approbation of the GRAND. SIGNIOR. We now, therefore, wait to see whether this Convention will be ratified at Constantinople, or whether the Porte will send an Army to the as sistance of the Pachas, to wrest this important Country from the dominion of the Beys. The Duchies of Parma and Placcentia will be Made French Departments. Great numbers of Troops are marching from the vicinity of Mantua to Lower Italy, to supply the place of those which have marched thence to France. BANNS OF THE MUNE, DEC. z7.—One of the Frankfort Journals contains the following article : " They write from Italy that on the loth inst. the KING Of ETRURIA took possession of Parma, Piacenza and G4astellp, France having made a cession of them in his favour." Many persons doubt the trpth of this intelligence. HAGUE, DEC. 24.—After a froat of four days, we had a thaw on the 22d. The conveyance of Troops to the Coast down the Canals still Continues, and will be finished this day. The unhealthiness of the weather has caused much sickness, anti many of the Soldiers and Officers have been obliged to be left by the way. The greater part of the Batavian Troops intended for the Expedition ag,:inst England, are now in their respeaive quarters in the vicinity of the coast. AMSTERDAM, DEC. 24..—There are already So Gun-Boats at Flushing, and many more are expeaed. A part of them will join the French at Boulogne. PRIVATE Letters from Dover received yester day, mentioned the arrival there of a Brig which brought an account of an Adion between a French Frigate and one of our Ships of War, in which the former blew up ; and it is added, the whole of the Crew perished. This; we apprehend, relates to the same Vessel, the- Bayemnaise French Frigate, which our Dover Letter of yesterday mentioned as having been driven on shore on the Coast of Spain by the Ardent. This intelligence, however, is not new, as it was - mentioned in the Gazette of the z7th ulr. in a Dispatch from Sir EDWARD PELLEW. The Bayofillaise, it will b.:. - recolieeted, is stated in the Gazette account to have blown up. We have no doubt - the account brought by the Vessel to Dover relates solely to the destruc tion of the BaJofrinaise. Yesterday morning His IVIAJESTY rode to Wood_ end, near Ascot Heath Race Groui'd, there met the. Earl of SANDWICH and a number of Gentlemen Sportsmen, and the 1-yal deer wai started.

The-grand Military Dertn at Exeter is daily-in creasing, as itwill be from that point that the prin cipal move will take place in case the Enemy should effet a landing in Devon or Cornwall ; and in order to- be prepared against a siniilar attack in the Severn, Langport, in Somersetshire, as a central ptisition between Dorchester and that River, is immediately to be formed into a Depin and Park for either situa. lion. All the entrenching tools have been received at Langport, and the Guns for the Park, and the necessary Stores, are ekpeaed soon to follow. The Duke of MoNTRosE arrived at Glasgow on Wednesday last, to 'resume the command of his Re. giment. The Court-Martial on General BURTON closed it; sittings yesterday ; but the sentence cannot be published until it his received the sanftion of HIS MAJESTY. The General's letter delivered into the Court by the DUKE of YORK, in which he acknow ' ledges the faEt of his acceptance of the challenge, was, after mature consideration, admitted to be good evidence. The DUKE of KENT, and most of the Officers of the Third Regiment of Guards, at. tended at the Court-Martial yesterday, to bear tes. timcny to the General's high 'character and honour able condua. By a late regnlatinn, every Troop of Yeomanry Cavalry, that augments its number to 70i rank and fife,, will be enticed. to two Liciitcuantsk NAPA L NE Ws.

DEAL, JAN. 'Q.—The Lccult Gun.brig came in last night, and sailed this afternoon on a Cruize off • Boulogne. The Chatham Lighter, No. 2, sailed this morning for Chatham. In the Downs—Monareh, Utrecht, Imniortalite, Perseus, Mariner, and Basilisk. 'We stated two days ago, the arrival of Admiral Co RN WALL is off Brest again. AccOunts from him. self to this effect have been received, dated on Wednesday last. He had been joined by a few of his Ships that had weathered the gale at sea, and likewise by five S a il o f t h e Li ne f rom Cawsan d Bay. The remainder of the Ships will rejoin him as tlney get ready to put to sea. The Eliza Privateeer,.of Liverpool, has taken and sent into Cork the Rabiriier Dutch East.lndiaman, of and. - for Rotterdam, from Batavia, richly laden with colonial produce. The Rainsher left Batavia ( 2 m Bt t h he of t and was captured on the 44. N. long. r 6. W. Lieut. COLES, of the Amelia Frigate, who was D gt e h ce o m f be M r2 7 in la la st t. captured in a boat belonging to that Ship, With'some seamen on the coast of Holland, has been exchanged, and is arrived in Town. He brings-an account of very active preparations being carried on, in all the places he had seeo.- Vessels of 800 tons, and none under 200, have been ordered to assemble in the Texel, for the purpose (it is presumed) of conyzying Troops for the Invasion of this Country. Capt. SNELL, and the Officers and Crew of the Avenger Sloop, arrived in the Kiag Geoi-ge Hired Cutter on Sunday last at Yarmouth, from the River • Ems. They awill proCeed 'to the Nore by the first conveyance,' for the pOrpose of taking their trial; a Court Martial being ordered to be held at that place, to inquire into the loss of the said Sloop. Lord NELSON has appointed the Hon. GEORG E ELLIOTT to the rank of Post Captain, and to the ,command of the Maidstone Frigate, off Toulon. The Cyclops Sloop arrived at Spithead on Mon.. day from the Mediterranean, and was immediately placed under quarantine ; but as there Is no fever on hoard, she will he instantly released. Dis patches from Lord NELSON, off Malta, and General TRtocE at Gibraltar, were received by this con veyance. During the late storm, a vessel, • bri • g rigged, was s e en to str ik e upon the Galley He a d, on t h e C oas t' of Ireland, an d inatantly Went to pieces. All the crew, suffered. Letters from Deal state, that in the late attack o w Boulogne our Seamen had a Most fatiguing night : not a man on board w ent to rest nor , were they when 11 observed lay the enemy on s h ote- till la of when our brave t ars were saluted With 'day, sh of shot an d s h e ll s , w hi c h, h owever, did thea no bowerurr. In th e m id st o f our success, one circumstance occur. red which caused a good deal of regre t : in the heat of the anion with the gun-boat, four Lrishugen carried off her boat, and made their escap e on shore. The last fishing boat was brought out by the im mortal/Ps cutter. On the 6th about sixty Sail of the aglemy's Ves sels came out of the Harbour, but the wind having shifted to the north-west they would not venture be yond the protection of their own batteries. Had the wind continued easterly there is reason to think that they intended to attack our small Squadron, in order to be. revenged, if possible, on our daring Tars, for capturing their Convey in their . very sight. Several Ships and two Cutters have joined the Squadron off Boulogne. - The Archer, with two Cutters under her • corn-. mand, is stationed close in to reconnoitre the move.. Merits of the Enemy. The Prize, containing 27 pipes of Hollands, has by some means or other dis appeared from the Downs : this circumstance has given rise to various rumours. It is however, sup posed, that she must have run into Dover or Rams gate Pier. On Saturday morning arrived at Harwich from Husum, Lieutenant -Colonel SMYTH and two Mr. .JODDIWAS. They had escaped from Valen. ciennes ; but did not attempt to do so, till after ha v. ing explained to the General commanding there, their determination to consider themselves no longer hound by their parole; at the same time'delivering into his hands their passports for the gates of the town,'by virtue of which only they had, enjoyed the privilege of passing .them. The French pushed their pursuit of them into neutral territory, and caused their being a second time made prisoners in the small Duchy of Berg, belonging to the Eleaor of BAVARIA. Fortunately they escaped again from this second detention, by eluding the vigilance of a sentry.' Yesterday afternoon o gentleman deteaed a ruf fian in the very aa of picking • his pocket of the contents, as he stood at a print-shop in Oxford -street, on which he seized him by the collar, ' and, taking t h e j a , „,,0 into his own hands,' with. his cane gave him, a. very severe clr.ubb:r. : .l;, itr‘4.l !rt ANTIQuz ctiRtO,SIT.T:I3. Tlf! Curiosities found fast week in digging op posite the East India House in Leadenhall.street, -proved to be exceedingly valuable. About ten feet below the surface of the street, the workmen finding something hard, it was immediately inspeCt. ed by that respeCiable Antiquarian Mr. WILKINS, by whose directions and assiduity a perfect urn was soon brought out. It contained a quantity of bonea, among whit* a finger and a jaw-bone were plainly dis:- cernible. A beautiful Roman tesselated pavement was also discovered, and by the nice attention of the same Gentleman, one piece of about four feet by two, was raised uninjured. The entrte pavement seems to have been a square of nine feet, in the centre of which is an elegantly adorned circle of four feet, containing a Racch-us holding a wand, and riding on a tiger ; the figure is in a purple robe, and the atti. tude of the beast is very grand ; his head looking at the figure on his back, one of his fore feet raised, stepping well forward, and the tail extended.— Under the able direCtion of the Librarian, there is no doubt of the whole being rendered well worthy the attention of the 'Antiquarian. Amer;can Papers, which arrived in Town yestet. day, contain accounts of a late date from St. Do mbige. The American brig Betsy had arrived at Newyork from off Cape Francois, which place she left about the middle of November, after having been - refused entrance in ballast. The Betsey, on the 20th of November, was captured at the back of Tortugas by two Brigand boats, and sent into Port Paix, where she was detained twenty.four hours, and, discharged. The Captain observes, that he never was more politely treated ,than by the Bri. gand General (f. Copoix.), who told the captors, that if they took a single article from the .Brig, they should be put to death immediately, The Cape had held out much longer than could possibly► be expected ; the French Commander seemed to be determined upon keeping possession until reduced to the last extremity. He had frequently been al.. most brought to that situation, when relief ar rived in vessels which had stolen in with provi, sions, during the time that the English blockading ships of war had been blown from their station. Ac the aboVe period, Surinam had not been attacked by the English, but that event was daily expeacd. The A r elv-York Gazette of the 3d ult. states, on the AtitliVrity of a Letter from Port-au-Prince, that: the French evacuted that place on the Bth of Ono her. It is added, that when General DESSALINE3 entered the place, only ninety-two White People were found there, two of whom were hanged by order of that Chief, but the remainder were spared, and received a promise of personal protettion. The French Fleet, say s the same account, sailed on, the evening of the 9th, and a considerable part of theta fell into the hands of the English, to whom the Ne.. groes rendered every assistanc e , and were of essen. tial service in capturing the French vessels. Accounts from Gremufa state, that two well-built French Privateers were sent into that place on the 4th of November, by an English Frigate. These Privateers Were captured in the aft of robbing, two Salem Brigs. The British Frigate Gerd berets was cruizing off St. Vincent's on the Bth ."` of November, all well. She had examined some American Vessels, and treated them politely. A short time previous thereto, the Brig Agenora was boarded by a handsome.buitt French Privateer, named the Herenione, of 14 guns. The Cerberus 4 was afterwards seen by the Agenora in chace of the Privateer. THE OP E It A.--.A general rehearsal of La liergint del Sole, took place on Monday last on the stage.--- , GRASSI NI is much recovered from her hoarseness, and made a greater display of her powers. Het voice is of considerable compass, and goes lower than any voice of the same kind that we ever heard. Her tones are strong and yet mellow. She perfect.. ly understands the conduet of the Stage, and deli.. vers the Recitative in a very striking and impres.. sive manner. She will certainly surpriie as, Well as please. Rttist t confirmed us in our former opinion respeCting his voice and taste, but we begin to doubt whether ne possesses much musical science. Having reason to admire him for his natural talents, we hope we shall have no reason to blame him on she score of indg.t . try. The same confusion took place, and. the musitimsl. lost even more time, for want of a proper person .to explain to the English Performers in the Orchestra, many circumstances necessary for giving due effed to the new Opera. Mr. PYR'S comedy has excited much conversa. tion in theatrical and literary circles. The learn. ing and poetical genius of this Gentleman are well known to the Whole world, and we shall be glad to find that he can chew as much humour upon paper RS he' is said to possess in society. The Concert of Ancient Music, a s we have' stated, is to be removed next Season to the Ra no _ ver-square Rooms, which have been altered for that purpose upon a new and magnificent plan. A new roo m has'been made entirely for the reception of the ROYAL FAMILY, before and after the performance. The whole of these alterations, which are in great forwardness, will be attended with very considerable expense. Yesterday the LO RD . MAYOR, after exam i n i ng the Mealweigh e r s ' Returrs, ordered the price of Bread to continue the same as last week, viz. at 9,id the Ouartern Loaf Wheaten, and 74d House. hold. . From motives of humanity, Government offered Dnyei,the Irish Rebel, a passage, free of expence, for himself and followers, besides a handsome sum, to remove to America ; which lie refused, and he is now to be transported to Botany Bay. Another case of fraud, similar to that of Mr. Aslett, though to a less - extent, was discovered fait week in the City. The old and confidential Clerk of a respettable Banking house, was deteded in a course of fraud which he has carried on for some time, and to a considerable extent. Having the ma nagement of the books, and being entrusted to lock up the money, he had carried on false balances, and by this means defrauded his employers to the ex tent of about 60001. He unde rwent a l ong an d se cret examination before the Lord Mayor on Saturday last, and was c o mmitted fo r f ume , exxatiation. ~; r
