At Brussels, Rennes, Marseilles, Bourdeaux, Dieppe, Havre, Nantes, 8;c. the rejoicings and illuminations were universal. Orders have been issued by the Minister of the Marine for disarming the light Flotilla. This mea sure is to be carried into.elfed in the Port of Dun kirk.—All the complements of the Vessels of the Republic are to be reduced to' the Peace Establish met-Ir.—Several days have elapsed since the orders for the Cessation of Hostilities were dispatched. — All the Letters of Marque which had been issued have been revoked.-1119niteur. We have already given the Articles of the Con stitution of Si. Domingo; we will add, that St. Domingo, in all its extent, with Samana, La Tar lac, Guava, the Caemites, Cow Island, La Saon6 and the adjacent Islands, form the territory of a Colony, which composes part of the French Empire, but which is subjea to its own Laws : the pay of the Governor is 300,000 Frank's, his Guard of Cere mony is at the expence of the Colony. RATISBON, OCT. s. —Yesterday the Feast of the EMPEROR was celebrated here: a triple discharge of cannon took place on the occasion. The Ratification of the Conclusum of th , .! Diet is • impatiently expected from Vienna. • We hope that our City will have the honour to be the Sear of the Deputation. The wagers and prediaions on the subjeCt of the Couriers between Vienna and Berlin, are of a nature to amuse those who can find diversion in the follies of human beings. The affair of the Indemnities occupies the minds of our Politicians, and gives rise to as many follies, as the parties interested en tertain hopes and wishes. Dittrs, Ocr. tz.--An English Packet-Boat has just arrived in this Port : it is the first that has arrived since the Peace in any French Port, ex.. cept Calais. The Vessel is the Three Sisters, Captain BAL s t R.. The crowd upon the sea-side was immense, who demonstrated the greatest joy. The Captain drank with us on the reconciliation of the two Nations. BERL TN, OCT. CXpea M. VON DORM, early in this capital. He is called hither to receive further orders respelling the affairs of Munster. For these few days past Conferences have been held between Count 1 - I.tucw trz with the French and Austrian Ministers. They are said to relate to the EleEtions of Munster and Cologne. The pro motion of the General Officers, which takes place alter every Review, has not yet taken place. The King has not been pleased with the chief manoeuv res. This is no doubt the cause of the delay. NANCY, OCT. t3.—Yesterday Citizen YANKO, an Extraordinary Courier of Government, passed through this place, repairing to Wallachia and to Constantinople. We are authorised to.contradia a paragraph which has appeared in several Papers, stating, that a serious affray had taken place in Colchester Barracks, be tween the 49th,Regiment and some of the Militia. The fa&s are simply as follow : A dispute arose from a very trivial circumstance. A party were playing a game of fives, and the ball accidentally struck one of the Militia. This was resented by the man, and in consequence some blows passed. The affray, how ever, was almost immediately quelled, by the Sol diers of the 49th being ordered by their Officers to their Barrack-rooms. The Militia, not satisfied with this, proceeded to treat the Officers of the , 49th in a manner irksome to the Soldiers to wit ness ; yet, in justice to these brave men, it is prOper to mention, that, in obedience to the voice of their Officers, they remained quiet in their rooms, and never more took part in the affair. The for bearance of the Officers was highly creditable to themselves, and obtained the entire approbation of the General commanding : indeed, the excellent dis cipline of that Corps- could in no' other instance be more strongly demonstrated. To prevent further disputes on this occasion, it was judged advisable to separate the Corps, and, from the number of the Militia in Colchester, the 49th were removed to Chelmsford, and the Cambridge to Norwich. A few patroles of Casalry paraded the streets during the night, to stop any disputes that might happen between individuals ; but we can assure the Public the 3 d Dragoon Guards were employed in no other manner. On Tuesday one of the principal Diaulters at the Stock Exchange went through his first examination. ,There appeared 55,0001. to pay, and only 30001. on the contrary side. The Committee were much displeased.—A proposition was made to make up the difference equal to. ss. in the pound, which was ac cepted, though the Broker refused either to give up his Principals or Books. A number of people were again assembled yes terday in St. 'James's Park, imagining that some persons had been murdered, from the appearance of blood in the Canal : the water was dragged by or der of the Earl of EusioN, when a quantity of meat unfit for sale, which had been thrown in, was brought out by the drags. At MidhurF.t, Wheat has fallen from 24.5. to I Zs. per bushel. In every part of the Country the price of Bread has most materially decreased, except in the Metropolis. This day the Prisoners charged with felonies in the different gaols of the metropolis were reinoved to Newgate, in order for trial at the Sessions House in the Old Bailey, which Commences on Wednesday I next, the 28th instant. rizAv.Ro, I • 1 . 14. tragedy of Pieti/ii-o was inSt night repre sented fOr the first time this season; and, coriikler.; ing bow . often it has been performed, considering too that it waited the aid of Mrs. Sinr)•olcs, in Eivia, it had a nthnerOtis Audience. KEMBLE . 'S excellence Al R,;//a is too well-known to tequire any particular notice. He exerted himself with his accustomed spirit last night, and power fully operated upon the feelings. There was a mix ture Of dignity and tenderne,,s in his a6ting, that fully. supported. this heroic and interesting clvrader. The rest of the Performers played with their usual rate of ability ; and the Piece, on the whole, went off tolerably- well. Covent. Garden. THE MERCHANT OF VEStCE. Coo Kr. came forward last night in Sky/ock,. and I his reception was such as to show that he is fully reinstated in public favour. We hope no wriuci_y event of a similar kind will shake his future credit. He seemed to be oppressed with a cold, which how ever did not prevent him from exerting himself with considerable success. We have seen him much better in the scene which relates to his daughter's flight, but much allowance should of course be made for his indisposition. CoRY for the first time performed Bassanio. He played with a tempered judgment throughout, and read the letter, describing the distresses of Antonio, in a very affecting manner. Miss MURRAY chiefly wanted, in Portia, a more easy vivacity in the lighter scenes. MUNDEN indulged his frieuds in the Galleries with much whimsical grimace. As this Performer affeas great accuracy in costume, why did he wear an Evglisb hat in Launcclot, which was tot:11)," repugnant to the rest of his dress, as well as to the time and country ? Miss DixoN's Jessica was much too tame, and Miss S I Nis's Nerissa much . too trifling. The sub ordinate parts, indeed throughout, were not so well supported as to give due weight to this admirable work of our great dramatic Poet. In the Farce of Love-a-;a-itiode Mr. CoDKE per_ sonated Sir ifrchy 117`SarCasm with all the charac teristic excellence which we have before had occa sion so warmly to commend. His cold was doubt less a drawback, but he paints the proud Scotchma'n in all his strong native colours, and so admirably, as to render his representation of bins highly enter taining. The other charaders Were supported with theirusual ability by joxiisToNE,SIMMoNs, LEW is, and Miss CHAPNIAN. The House was extremely crowded in every part. • • ii):?.:1361tG14, t)CT: There were : - 4o bolls cif oatmeal On TLlcs-ciay, Edinburgh market, which sold from i7s. to t 8c; per boll.

At the IVlichelmas, Head Court of the County rf Roxburgh, a Memorial was laid before the Free. holders, by Sir will Elliot, of Stobs, Bart. respeet; tog the communication by post between Edinburgh and the several post towns connthed w jib the County, in which is was said, That the circuitous and indirett communication by post, by which the corresponde,nce had, for several years past, been carried on ‘vith the metropolis of Scotland, was at.. tended with several disadvantages to this part of the country, and were now further increased by the present high rare of postage, the redressing of which was the chief objet of the memorial. It was very accurately stated, that it never could be meant by the Strit..lte of the }lst of His pre sent Majesty, cap. 7, that the distance should be estimated according to the roce, however cir cuitous,. which the Post was :kftually made to take;--but that nothing further could be intended by the Legisiatare than that the rate of postage upon letters should he calcula!vd according to the distance by the direr Post_road leading from the host office at which the letters were fir,t dispatch. cd, to the Post-office to which they were ultimately addressed: That, from - a careful examination - of the Statutes relative to the Posr.officc, both befine and since the Union, it appeared pretty evident. that nothing more could be intended by the Legislature than that the dired distance by the neatest Post_ road should be the rule adopted for calculating. the rate of Postage, and the Post-office to charge the Postage in the manner which had been practised since the sth of. April last. This Memorial was taken into the consideration of the Meeting ; and they having unanimously ap proved of the sense thereof, appointed Sir John Buchanan Riddell, William Riddell of Camiston, and Sir William Elliott, a Comiltittee, to make out a representation to the Right lion. Lord Auckland, Postmaster_General on tie above suite t, and a du plicate to the Postmaster-General of Scotland. CHURCH-YARD ROBBERY. ON Sunday morning, about six o'clock, two men passing by the Church-yard wall of St. Paul's, Deptford, discovered a young man in the an, as they suppoicd, of removing some articles from the Church Porch : they got in, and found part of a leaden coffin upon him, rolled up : this aroused their indignation, and they immediately took him into custody, with a view to deliver him to the Constable of the Parish. On their way thither an accomplice came up just, as he said, to ask what was the matter : suspiCions arose from his conver. sation, and he was also secured, and put into the cage. Immediately after their apprehension, an exami nation was set on foot in the Churchyard, when it appeared that burrows had„ been made large enough for one person at a time to get into the vaults under the Church, and from which they had entered into eight different family vaults, besides the main vault, and taken away the lead and furni ture from eighteen coffins, many of which had been deposited there for a great number of years, one as long since as 1698, .and others from thirty to fifty years back. The remains of' the bodies were mangled and scattered about by those- inhuman wretches in a manner too shocking for us to wound the feelings of our Readers with a recital of. Se veral of the relatives of the deceased were present at the search, whose feelings may he easier conceived than described. There seems to have been 4 a num ber of young lads concerned, some say twenty, chiefly shipwrights' apprentices, none of them more than twenty years old, and led on - by the Deputy Sexton, Giles Martin, and a notorious receiver of stolen goods in the, neighbourhood, to whom they sold the lead and furniture for twenty shillings per hundred weight. Tuesday the two young men in custody, Nicolls, aged !Zs, and Giles Martin, the Deputy Sexton, aged 23, were brought before JostAH DORNFORD and' PHILIP GOODHEW, Esqrs. the two Silting Magistrates at Greenwich, for examination. The men who deteeled them in the church-yard were first heard, and gave a very circumstantial account of the suspicions excited by the Prisoner's appear. ante, and their consequent apprehension, as well as producing the lead taken upon him, which, on be ing opened, proved to be part of a coffin of a small size. Several persons appeared, and proved the in terment of bodies in the vaults, the locking them up, and their having been removed by means to them unknown, except by the holes made under the Church, apparently for that purpose ; that the bones, &c. were strewed about in a very loose way; and that in two or"three instances• it seemed that the coffins had been sawed in two, as the correspond ing parts of the bodies were found in oopoite di redions, particularly that of a female child lately deposited there. On this stage of the business one of the Priso ners requested to speak to the Officers, when, we understand, he acknowledged the la& ; that he had been seduced to it by a receiver he named, who bought between three and four tons of lead, the pro duce of forty-two coffins, at 265. per hundred, of them. He also named some accomplices, on condi tion of being admitted evidence, which was grant. ed. Warrants were sent after them, and the parties remanded for a further hearing. The.indigation of the populace was so great, that the Officers could .scarcely keep them from being laid violent hands on. ' Dt~,'r ~}~-Lazne. CIRCUIT COURT OF JUSTICIARY INVERNESS, OCT. 10, 1801. THE Circuit Court of Justiciary was opened here yesterday by the Honourable the Lord CuLLEri. Andrew Fraser, late Clerk to William Inglis, Esq. merchant in Inverness, was brought to the Bar; —The indkiment charged him with the crimes of falsehood and fraud, aggravated by their being com mitted under trust by a confidential clerk or servant, by triaking false entries in the books of his Consti. , went, in order to cheat and defraud him of his mcf. ney. 'lt charged also his fraudulently obtaining money under a false pretence, and embezzling and secreting the funds of Mr. Inglis, to a very great extent. The Prisoner's Counsel stated no objeCtion to the relevancy of the indiament, but contended at great length, that the case was of such a nature, resolving. into a question of accounting between the parties, which requited a full investigation of the books of the Company, and that the time which had been allowed since the service of the libel, had not been sufficient to enable the Prisoner to prepare for his defence. It was answered. on the part of the Pro- secutor, that the case.as stated in the indietment could by no means resolve into a question of ac. counting. That the ads of fraud charged were all committed. in the course of the year t Soo, and sub. sequent to a balancing of the books by Franc on the Ist of March said year. It was also stated, that, supposing the question was more complicated. than it really was, the Prisoner had every opportu. nity allowed him, and the fullest time for making every investigation necessary for his defence. That he had been repeatedly called on while the precog. hition was going on before the Sheriff, to come for.' ward and take inspection of every book that he chose to ask for. That this happened as far back as the beginning of August last, since which time the Prisoner, who was fully certiorated of the na ture of the charge that was to be brought against him, might, down to the very day of the trial, have availed himself of the indulgences which were granted him, in order to enable him to prepare for iris defence. That in fa% the Prisoner had for days previous to the trial, -examined and taken written memorandums from the books which were shewn him. In these circumstances the Counsel for the Prosecutor stated, that he would not consent to the delay now- asked. • Lord CULLEN, after hearing the Counsel on both sides at great length, continued the Diet to next day, in order that he might have time to consider the demand made by the Prisoner, which then appeared to him, for the reason stated by the Prosecutor, to be attended with some difficuliy. His Lordship, however, after fully considering the written pro ceedings referred to in the libel, and the nature of the demand .made by the Prisoner, •as . well as the apparently complicated nature of the case, was dis: posed to allow the Prisoner further time to prepare for his defence. He accordingly', this day, pro nounced the following interlocutor :—" The Lord Cues. F. a having heard Parties Procurators at great - length noon- the libel and defences, in respect the Paned has averred and offered to prove facts and circumstances strongly tending to exculpate him from the charges contained in thedibel, in case of further time being allowed to him to bring such proof ; therefore, in hoc storm dismisses. the libel and Pannna from the B.is, reserving to the Prose. cutoi to bring his libel of new before any compe. tent Court, as accords." His Lordship, in pronouncing this judgment, took occa.ion to make several observations upon the se rious nature of she charge exhibited against the Pri. soner ; and in a very strong and impressive manner adverted to the character of the late Mr. William Inglis, by whose death the Town of Inverness lost a most active, and spirited, Magistrate, and his friends and the community at large, a highly vahia. ble and worthy rnari
