.811IGHTQN, Auo. la. As yesterday was the Birth-d4S , of the illustrioui Personage who has so long heen the patron of prigh ton, and has raised it to. the 'top of all provincial places-of -amusement, the inhahitants were all aaive and bustling at a very early period : the morning was ushered in by the ringing of bells, and the fiag was hoisted upon the church ; at five o'clock - the town was all in motion ; at ten the Otter and Gal lant fired a salute ; at eleven the Eclipse came in, and also fired a salute. The Otter, Gallant, Eclipse, ,anal Griffin, had all the National Colours flying. The flag was also on the West Batteries, and every de monstration of joy appeared—two , oxen were roast ed ; at nine o'clock they were put down to . the fire, in a hollow to the west of the Prince's Cricket - Ground. , By half-past eleven the brigade was forrpe&on the Race Course (at the 'four-mile heat), and con sisted of.the Royal Horse Artillery, the detachment of Royal Artillery at Ringmace, the King's Dragoon Guards, the 6th Dragoon Guards, and 4th Dragoons; the Royal "South Gloucester,. the Royal Cheshire, Nottingham, and South Hants, met in review order on the Downs, near to the Race-course, near town, at half-past eleven o'clock, and fired a feu-de-joie in honour of the Prince of WALES'S birth-day. The King's Dragoon Guards took theleft, front ing the Smith, the Infantry occupied the ground on the left of the King's Dragoon Guards, and the 6th Dragoon Guards took post on the left- of the In. fantry ; the Royal Artillery, from Ringmace, took the left, flanking the whole. The Troops were in open column, and, wheeled into line on the approach of his Royal Highness the Prince of WALES, ,which was announced by a salute of 21 guns. The troops marched in slow time; and resumed their ground ; they then opened their ranks,- a feu dc-joie was fired, beginning with seven guns, from the Royal Horse Artillery, which was taken up from right'to left, when the 6th Dragotin Guards fired, and the Royal Artillery fired seven guns. The Royal Horse Artillery then retornmenced their fire, and so on; after the third fire the ranks were opened, and a general salute took place. At one o'CloCk the Royal Party arrived on the ground. Their Royal Highnesses the DUKES of CLARENCE and CAMBRIDGE, mounted on dark bay horses, rode first ; then Major BLOOMFIELD ' and Colonel LEE ; then His Royal Highness the Pat:ven d WALES, • mounted on a beautiful bright grey charger, richly . caparisoned ; the shabadake, or housing trappings, were of gold, richly embroidered;. the bridle and stirrup leathers were also richly or namented with gold ; the stirrups were of solid gold ; the rosettes at the side of the horse's head were of gold, and the head-stall in front was also of gold net. His Royal Highness was dressed in his state uni form, with gold tassell to his boots, and appeared in high spirits. The Duke of YORK was on his right, and, the Duke of KENT on the left of 'the Duke of Yon K—they were , both mounted on iron grey chargers; then followed Earl BERKELEY and Lord MoIRA; who was dressed in a Highland uniform, mounted on a grey charger; next General LENNOX, Colonel SAvAny, Col. SMITH, and the Duke of On- LEANs, and several Officers and Noblemen. Earl CRAVEN was norpresent on account of indisposition. -As soon as the Royal Party arriVed on the ground, the signal guns from right to left. were fired, when the whole line presented arms, the different bands playing God save the King. The Royal troupe and suite passed in front of the line, and took their sta tion in the centre, when the whole passed before the PRINCE in review order, marching in ordinary and quick time. After the troops had passed the P RINCE they formed in line again, and fired afeu-de-joie, and gave their beloved Prince'three cheers, the bands playing God save the King. The Royal Party ex pressed their approbation at the fine appearance of the men. As soon as the Roy'al Salute was given,' a signal gun was fired, and a signal hoisted at the signal post, when the Ships fired a Royal. Salute, the Royal Party having placed themgFlves at the top of the hill to see it. The fineness of the day contributed to this grand military speaacle. The Royal Party left the ground at four o'clock. The Cavalry were commanded by Major-General Huooxim. The Infantry were to have been commanded by Earl CRAVEN ; and the whole Brigade by Lieut.-General LENNOX. There were about 7000 Troops on the ground. The Mas ters FITZ-CLARENCE were on the box of the Prince's landau. Mr. SLIZRIDAN was on the box of the Prince's barouche (there being two of the Prince's carriages) and Miss SEYMOUR was in the inside.— The karchioness" of DOWNSIIIRE, and all the sur rounding Nobility, were present. At three o'clock the LORD CHANCELLOR arrived on the groUnd, and, alighting iVorn his carriage, went up to the PRINCE, who, the moment he espied his Lordship, went forward to meet him, and took him, by the band. The only disappointment was the ab sence of Lord KEITH, whom the wind would not perinit to come round. In the evening there was a very splendid Ball at the Castle, and.the rooms were filled by a company who were drawn from moo of the neighbouring seats and town. Before ten o'clock not less than four hundred persons were present ; and before eleven the assemblage had received an addition of two hundred at least. The crowd occasioned heat, and many Ladies . nearly fainted; though every precautionary measure. was taken to prevent it. When the Royal Brothers entered the ball-room, the Band (the PRINCE'S) struck up " God Save the king," all the company standing, until they had passed down the room. To enume rate names would be considered tedious. Not one individual of rank within the vicinity of the place was absent on this occasion. A few minutes sub sequent to the arrivsil of the Princes, dancing com menced, with the Honey Moon. _About fifty couple stood up. Who led off it was impossible CorreEtly 'to ascertain. This dance was succeeded by Lord Macdonald's Reel, at the end of which, about half- an hour after midnight, the Prince and his . Royal , Brothers removed to the, Supper rooms. Tables were laid in three separate rooms; but. the company was so numerous, that niany .co , ild not be accommodated with seats, and, '6)nsecitiently, sans refreshments, they were coin -peiled.to remain in the Ball-room. The tables were _decorated with every delicacy of the season, and the ' supper arrangements refleet much credit oh the Pro prietor of the inn, Mr. TILT. The rooms were it lutninated with branched lights and lustres, 6nd;• truly; they had a tnost_lively and brilliant appear-, ance. The Ladies were dressed in an nnuSual style of elegance ; such a rich display of dianionds we ne ver saw at a public entertainment here on any pre ceding occasion ; and such a fasciniiiiig display of beautifdl women, perhaps; id tine house; was not to be found in any other part of the world. An occasional iiieee, entitled Tice Sheet Anchor of Albion„ was performed at the Theatre, and received with very great applaUse. The entertainments of_ yesterday were to have been followed this morning by a grand aquatic ex hibition, in celebration of the same event, but it is postponed on account of the unfavourable state of the weather. It will, however, be carried into effe&, as a sequel to the ,joyous proceedings of yesterday. RAItISGATE, AUG. 12. The Anniirersary of the PerisrCE of Wtir.E . S!s Birth-Day was celebrated here this Meeting with all the military pomp; and every dembnstration of loy alty and affe&iou which could be eihibited on so 1. joyful an occasion. T M twelve precisely the dismount ed Cavalry, and the Perthshire Militia marched from their respe&ive Barracks, with music playing and colours flying; to that part of the Western Cliff called Sion Hill, which runs parallel to the Pier, and terminates at the Western Battery, on the same • side of the Harbour. Having formed in line two deep, the Cavalry on the right ) 'they then stood at ease, till the Bombadiers' belonging to the Harbour arrived on the Pier, aed,-.slischarged 20 rounds from the four 32-pounders mounted there, and kept in excellent order at the expence of the Trustees.— The reverberations of the sound along the Cliffs striking the ear like successive crashes of thunder, . made each explosion tremendous, and considerably heightened the effe& and grandeur of the ceremony. As soon as the salute from the great guns was over the Troops fired three rounds ; after which the Band played " God Save the King !" and the whole then returned to the Barracks, with music and huzzaing, in which the populace heartily' joined them. The crowd assembled on the Pier and Heights, to witness this military display,.was immense. Last night the Transport, No. 3, came within the' Pier. and this morning took on board the detach ment of the 62d; which had been unavoidably left behind throUgh want of room in the Vessels which sailed with the rest of the Regiment. The Officers,. privates, and women on board, amounted to iso. In passing the Pier' Head the Band played, and the Troops huzzaed, as usual, at. departing. The Trans port having come hi unexpeetedly, and the tide - making it necessary for her to get under weigh at half past nine, about 30 of the men who had been employed in putting the baggage on 'board, and who consequently were• not prepared with their knap sacks and accoutrements for immediate embarkation, were obliged to follow ,the Transport in one of the harbOur Long-boats the - distance of ,a league before she lay-to to receive them, so peremptory were her orders to make every effort to 4oirL the Expedition off Portsmouth. There are tive,large Vessels des cried this afternoon in the offing, which we suppose to be Transports making for Ratnsgate to take more Troops on board. A great many women and children have been left behind, in conformity to the General Orders issued, which prohibit the. embarkation of more women than four to each Company. Government, howe ver, with great consideration and humanity, allow to all those eicepte'd at the rate of a guinea and a half to each wishing to return to Ireland, and a gui nea each to the natives of Great Britain. The hus bands also are advanced money, for the purpose of. enabling them to. supply their families with addi tional sums. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EXETER RACES. .

If itliad been true that the two Literliry Chara&ers who were about to engage in, a duel, had only loaded with paper, as reported, they would have done right. Their proper. weapon is the pen; and they should have,.no concern with any thing more terri ..ble than what Benedick calls " the paper bullets of the brain." Since it has appeared that the Matrimonial Officer at Gretna Green is not a Blacksmith, but a Tobac conist, it is probable that fond couple will now repair to that place upon a conjugal trip, lest they should be too soon smoaked. WANTON CRUELTY TO A DOG.-- , At the Assizes for Hereford came on to be tried, before Mr. Justice LAWRENCE, a cause, wherein Mr. SANCE, of Lan neaver Hall, in the Parish of Langattock Vibonavel, near Monmouth, was Plaintiff, and - JOHN HART LAND, butcher, of Bosbury, near' Ledbury,' was De fendant, for wantonly cuttidgpff the tail of a terrier dog,, belonging to the Plaintiff, and throWing him, mangled and bleeding, out of the window, at the George Inn, Ledbury, on the 18th of February last ; when, after a short hearing, a verdictof Ten Guineas Damages, with costs of suit,'were given to the Plain- Off, to the general satisfaelion of the whole Court, cmcept the parties who had to, pay the expences o f the trial.

When the well-known article reporting the approaching abdication of the Ele&or of BADEN, in fivour of. the Ele&oral Prince, was copied out of tie Frankfort Journal - into the. Papers of t :is city, which received a severe reprimand tiir it from the - 111oniteur, it excited an extraordinary sensation at St. Cloud. The Ele&oral Prince, equally modlst and good-natured, feeling himself woUnded respe6t for the. - person 'of his parent, Conylained bitterly' to the EMperor and 'Empress ; be obtained the satisfaCtion•he demanded with the „;:reater faci lity, as the Emperor hiMself 'was glad or an oppor• tunity to give the venerable Elector a proof of personal sentiments. The Eledoral . Prince filmier availed himself of the circumstance, to reilUest per mission to condu& his bride home, that she might testify at Karlsruhe how very repugnant the idle talk ofsnch a change was to the real views and inten tions of the French Emperor. ' An Extraordinary Courier was dispatched - the same evening, that the:,e sentiments Might be conveyed as speedily as pos-, sible to Karlsruhe, and that any unfavourable iri pression made there might be immediately effaced or prevented, before the arrival of the Moniteur, containing the very significant refutation of the article in question. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM TRALEE, IN IRELAND In consequence of a family feud, which for some' time past has disturbed and disgraced the neighbour hood of the Causeway, in this county, a party of people, of the name of ,Neilan, armed with guns, &c. repaired on Saturday last to the house 9f a wi dow Connor, in that village ; but not finding the objet} of their vengeance, they proceeded to ir.eak the furniture, and to destroy all the property they could lay their hands on. After having completely rifled the house, among other matters carrying off Bank notes to a considerable amount, they went to drink at a whisky shop in the neighbourhood, where, in a little time, hearing that two brothers of the Connors (sons of the widow) were returning home ward, they sallied forth in pursuit of them—the Connors, however, having received information of their danger, fled, and reached the house in Safety, though repeatedly fired at : they then armed them selves with a blunderbuss and gun, and stood on their defence. The Neilans arrived immediately after, and in their attempts to break open the door of the house, were fired'on by the two brothers. One of the Neilans was killed on the spot, and another so dangerously wounded that no hopes are entertained of his .recovery. On the night of Sunday last, Eusaatus SEALy, ,. Esq. Chief Constable of Police, with a Setjeant's guard of the Carlow Regiment of Militia, repaired 'to the Causeway, where he apa prehended five of the Neilans, assembled in a whisky shop. At the Newcastle Assizes, last week, an aairm came on before a Special Jury, brought by STLPI : • KgMBLE, Esq. Manager of the Theatre-Royal in that town, against Mr. J. MITCHELL, Printer of the , Tyne Mercury, for a Libel on his Character. - After Mr. PARKE had stated the Plaintiff's case, and coin itnentecl .on the series of . scurrility with ‘viii;:h the Plaintiff had been assailed in the Defendant's News paper, under the pretext of criticising the perform-- antes at the.Theatre, the Learned Judge interposed, and at his suggestion, the Defendant agreed to pub lish an apology in.tlie Public Papers, and pay all the costs of the action as between Attorney and Client. A Verdi& was accordingly entered for the Pilintiti— Darriages costs will . proba .ly not -be far short of cool. The matter was argued before 'Mr. Justice GRA HAM, who, by request of both parties, drew.up tl.e form' f the Apology, which vas as follows ; - " I am extremely . sorry, and thus publicly de " dare 'my concern, that the pubkation in (pies ". tiop, or am? otberi Injurious to the . t.haraitr or " reputation of Mr. KEmBLE, leas found its , .m ay in to my Paper, called Ihe Tyne Aliicury.7.l!Laisb " declare, that I will use my, utmost end 2votirs to prevent any similar paragraphs from finding-their way into nay Paper in future.". )%,*
