Those who shall neglect this order, are-re minded that they will owe the unpleasant .conse quences that may ensue, entirely to their own con _dua. This order includes such Officers as , have, been diScharged from that Legion, and others that were left behind, after the embarkation of the Bug lish Troops. , HAGUE, JULY 19.—The Conference which ,was held •last week between the Commissioners a,p pointed by, their High Mightinesses and some. Me mbers of the Council of -State, according to report, related to an augmentation, of territory which our Kingdom is .to receive. A meeting, we under stand, will take place between several Members of the Imperial - Family at Wisbaden, viz. the King of Holland, Cardinal FEscn, and the I)uke of Cleves. The hope that the Preliminaries of Peace Will be sectled between France and England still con tinues. Some accounts say that General CLARKE will proceed to London. AMSTERDAM, JUL 19.—1 t is asserted that the Preliminaries ,bet Ween France and England are already signed - ;, but this news is, without doubt, p.reinature.' It is not less remarkable; that this re port is couple&with another, viz. that a general Order.tad been received troin England for raising the blockade 'of the Coast. . GRIEFSW4LD, JULY f7.—Yeiterday mornfng his Majesty dispatched Captain SKOLDEBRAND with a letter to his Prussian Majesty, which Was delivered to General KALKREUTH at Pascwalk. Major KALKREUTH has arrived here this after ternoon with a letter to .the King of Sweden froth the General Count KALKIZEUTH, and returned soon after with hiS Majesty's answer. - SWEDISH- POMERANIA, JULY 19.—Baron ALO PELTS, the Russian Envoy, after receiving a .Courier from his Court, set out. for his Majesty's Head quarters at Grifelswald. • -HAMBuswJr, JULY 23.--Accordin g to letters re ceived to-day from Cuxhaven, the Captain of the Frigate ./ifinarontke, lying a that Port, informed the Maiistrates yesterday afternoon, thitt, he had received orders to desist,. in future, from' all hosti lities upon the Elbe, and upon the Comet liear Hanovu. • ThePrinee of Hasse PHILINTUAL, who com mands at Gaeta, is about 38 years of age,- very ilender, and about five feet eight inches high. .His complexion is dark; his maaners are extremely affable. Through all dangers and fatigues he pre serve's an uniftirm gaiety of temper, and laughs and jokes with every person in the Garrison. In his dress he presents an exaa model of FREDERICK the GR2AT of Prussia. It consists of 4 blue coat; sin gle-breasted, with scarlet facing, and tags to the shoulder ; large gloves, that come half way up the arm, and boots that come half way up the thigh, with a huge cocked hat, which comes down close to the-eye-brows. This •is his constant dress„ in which hewalks about, with a long cane in his band: The side of the fortress next to the main-land is not a perpendicular" descent, but rather sloping. The ground, however, is a sand, and the fiirtifications, including two immense ditches; are considered_ Ml pregnabre. The spot which the Prince has chosen for his habitation spews his contempt of danger.— It is a small guard-house, which he has fitted up upon the external line of batteries; nest to the be siegers. It is scarcely sufficient to accommodate hitnself and two or three.seled'and confidential Of ficers, who compose his suite. The Prince is not married, but a favourite Fair, of whom he is more careful than.of himself, lives on the opposite side of the fortress, next to the sea. All the Messengers sent by the French, with propositions, have aert detained and put into confinement by himcon sidering-them only as spies, sent for the purpose, of obtaining intelligence of the state of the plaCe, or the bearers of propositions that were insulting to his courage and lOyalty— From this condu&, it was the general opinion at Gaeta,.that he could not expel any mercy or term from the Enemy, should they once get him, by fraud or force, into thir power; .The respedablp Gentleman from whdrn we , have received these particulars,. therefore, discredits the report, in the French . Papers: .of the Capitulation of the place. He also thinks that the acconnt from Vienna, of 'the defeat of the besiegerS, which we inserted yesterday, is impro bable, as •he left :ilermo cn the 12th of June, at which time the Ppinpje, Sir ,SIDNEY Ship, . required, repairs that would take up some tithe. is, therefore, 'he thinkS, unlikely that Sir SIDNEY should have been aiding in a sortie from Gaeta, on the 3d of July,' the alledged date of the defeat of the French; but it must be obvious, at the same time, that' an Officer of such an aalve and; enterpri-Ofg spirit, may not have waited for the repair of the Pompti.e, and proceeded 'to Gaeta with some Other • Ship, or with his BBate, F.-IST: qD.17.1 ID 0 C1,7,,5v. the - .

RENNIE mid WALKER, the Engineers reduced to abbut 91 feet in the - entra ve Lock. At twenty minutes before two o'clock the outer-gate 'was thrown open, and the Yacht, Captain Pouvran, was warped into the Bason, with her topsail-yards pointed to the wind ; she moved on as smooth ao . a glove, and.in the course of a fecv minutes ,she was moored up at the second Lock, Orentrance:to the Great Dock. ..The inland bcicly of water, after the gateS were shut,•was observed to be still above the leVel of tlAe tide in the Thames, but its surface Was in a few Minutes lowered a second tine. The Earl Camden, on account of her having ,beat off a French 74', was to have had the honour of being the first of the Company's Ships that entered the.l4son ; but she' did not come up the River in sufficient time, and tb6_,4dMiral. Gardner, Captain SALTWELL; which had finig, - , L t a battleof three hours close fighting with a ,20(gun Privateer, and beat her o ff, was the first-that :entered within the works of the Honourable Com pany to which - she belonged.. She swain like a duck upon the yater, she was in such good trim, with all her yards, top-masts, and rigging doWrn, ex cept the necessary stays:, A nUmber ofpersotts stood by with wooden fenders to protest the Ship's side from injury in case of her swinging round too much, or accidentally Corning .in contaal with any part of ‘he works, but there was little or no occasion for this precaution:. The wind was favourable, blow ing almost right across from East Greenwich; the, opposite hank of the River; and seamen observed that 'she almost went in of herself,. so judiciously were the different,guys and warping 7 lines managed, and in such a state Of perfe6tion were the' works. At about twenty minutes after two she was moor= ed high up the Eason close astern of the Trinity Yacht. Though there was not any splendid decoration of - the Ship, though there was not any music on her deck, nor any person on board of higher rank than the gallant Captain of the Ship, and Mr. RENNIE, one of the Artists, who, contributed his exertions towards, this superb work, under the auspices of the Directors of that great commercial body the East India Company still, notwithstanding, this was a simples ; unadorned display of British wealth and commerce, the scene- was so gratifying to the feel ings of every spectator that every man present with heart and voice gave three cheers, and appeared most sincerely to congratulate those who had undertaken and completed this great work. There are no , .v no less that eighten public places •of amusement open' in Paris. The' number . is, in deed,diminished from what n was some time ago; a circumstance rather surprizing, as it is the business of the Government to keep up the spirit of dissipa tion in the Public Mind, and divert its attention as . much as possible from the origin of that Govern- Ment, and the miserable. subje&ion of 'the Country. Cooke has, been exhibiting strong syMptomS of his Usual indisposition on the Dublin Stage. He was performing-Sir Giles Over-reach,in the Comedy of A Neu; fray to Pay Old Debts, but it appeared that he was quite in his cid way , ana his dells seem ed to be wholly owing to Bacchus. COOKE, it seems, finding a lapse in his memory, in the Fourth Aa, made a short address to the audience, in which he declared his-inability to go through the part, and then walked away. The audience manifested great displeasure, but HOLMAN came forward and softened Their resentment by assuring them that COOKE was really ill.; and unable to support the charther. LEWIS is 'to take a final leave of the Irish Stage this night, in the Comedy of Such Things Are, in which he performs Twineall, for his own Benefit. He is:to amuse . his friends with Imitations of SHE RIDAN,‘BARRY, MOSSOP, and WOODWARD, and to deliver a Farewell Address. The Miss LARKZIAN, whose musical fame has ex cited so Much expectation at Brighton, is a pupil - of MAZZI NGLiT, whose professional taste and talents are too well known to require any eulogium. • Miss Smyrti- has introduced upon the Edinburgh stage theTragedy'of Edgar, or The Cdledonian Feuds, which was performed At Covent-Garden Theatre. The Scotch must of course like this piece, as its fable bears a strong resemblance to their favourite Tragedy amg/as. Modern Dramatists-have been too much censured for introducing charaßers with repeated phrases in their Plays--as " I've an idea,"—" that accounts for i &c. &c. .This was not only' a mode of wri ting practised - by nearly all our old and best theatrical . A * ohors, but is in general copied from nature ; and the charaaer, of S/'riggins, in the Comedy of Five Aliks Off, is taken from a living original, who is eternally telling of his " forty pounds a-year be sides wages," • Mrs. BILLINoToN giVes an exquisite lesson on the piano -forte, as well as, in singing, wben she appears in 11 Fanatic° per la Musica, and therefore it is by no means surprising she should attrad so many scholars. Young Flonx, a son of the respe&able musical veteran; is, it is said, preparing a Parody on Hamlet for the stage. this is.dangerous ground, as Hamlet has long been a favourite chargter with the people, and is'the work of their greatest poetical boast, the immortal Bard of Avon. Some wanton wags have recently circulated an Ad dress from the Landlady of the Key, which was late ly. destroyed by. the firein Chandos.-street, with pro posals for re-building it • upon a very extensive plan. There is some humodr in the. Address ; but in the list of subscribers the authors have most impudently enrolled the names of many of the gravest and most respeaable , charaeters in the kingdom, male and fe male: , . , As there is such a difficulty in obtaining persons to Serve the office of Sheriff, it has been suggested that .one of those venerable supporters of city honots; .Gog and illagog, should be chosen, as they have had a longer opportunity of becoming acquainted with its duties than any of the present degenerate race of 1 1 zitons. It is, however, to be apprehended, that tln cannot be induced to descend from their pre sent dip:tied ,elevation.' . • TilE EA,IRL OF LitIAT./117. , r ,,,: : ,:.

The oldest of these Princes (who are now in Eng land), PAUL FREDERIC AUG,USTUS, was born on the 13th of July, 1783; and the youngest, PrrEtintE DERIC GEORGE, on th e 9th o f May, init.. They are descendants of the younger branch of that ancient House, which, in the Middle of the last century, gave Sovereigns to Russia and Sweden, in PETER .111: and . ADOLPHUS FREDERIC,"Of ALEXArDERI, and GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS 1V: are' grandsons. Their father, PETER FREDERIC LOUIS, is. the rei gn i ng Prince-Bishop of L UBEC and Duke of OLDER.. BURGH; and their motherwas a Princess of WI !ITEM-. BURGH, sister of the Empress-Dowager of Russia, and of the modern 'King of WIWI EivIBUIIGH. She died shortly after the delivery "of her youngest son ; but' though her desolate consort was then under thirty, he resolved never 'more to marry, but to de , dicate the whole of his time to the 'education of his children. His paternal and patriotic rnalnJnimity has been .rew:lrded with kuceess. sons are the most moral and Most acconiplished Princes of the Continent. And indeed it' could not be Otherwise: the example of their father's virtues before their eyes, must have implanted on theiryoUng minds sons pure end excellent', - as well as durable. Neither vicious mistresses polluted his bed, nor profligate companions dishonoured his table: His palaces are the refuge of the undeservedly unfortunate, and the unjustly oppressed. His Subjeas pay no dire& taxes; he derives his revenue from his family domains, and' from duties laid on foreign imports. That such a Prince should be honoured with the hatred of a Bo- NAPAUTE, might be expeCied ; it is rather surprising that be has. not already been treated a l'Enghein, particUlarly as revolutionary bandiuies have acquired Hanover. But if he has yet spared the Prince's person, he has attempted to ruin his power. An in trigue of TALLEYR AND, after the Peace of Ltineville, was near to‘deprive the Prince of the toll of Elsfleth, on the Weser, the chief source of his revenue. He resides generally at Eutin during the summer, and at Oldenburgh during winter. The formr is situ ated on a very romantic spot on the banks of a lake, 20 miles from Lubec ; and the distatice of the latter is 39 miles from Bremen. As neither the Emperor ALEXANDER, nor the Grand Duke CpINkSTANTINE have yet had any chil dren, the ybung PrinCes of HoLs - rm.N-OLDENBURGIT are considered by many abroad, as the future heirs of the ,Sceptre 'of the Rnssian Empire. Count Ho EM, w.hb accompanies. them inthis Country, is not only the respeaable Governor of the Sons, but the co_i fidential Minister of the Father ; and what is. more brilliant, aczomplishes with zeal and talent, delicacy and dignity,.both these important funCtions. 'On Monday last the remains of that fine old Corps, the, 2d Foot, or Queen's, was reviewed by General WARn, , of the late Horse Grenadier Guards, who , expfessed hirriself in the highest terms-of ap probation of their appearance, aid said that, " he found the Queen's retained their old character, of being one of the best dressed and best disciplined Re . ..-. giments in the King's service." Madame 13LAN.CHARD ascended in. a Balloon on the 13th ult. from Bourdeaux. 'She passed and re passed three times over Dordagne, and descended an hour and a quarter' after her departure from Bout deaux, in the Commune of Pujots. , The house called Aldgate House, situate at Beth nal Green, was broken open on Wednesday. night, and TurkeY carpets, damask window . curtains, a clock arid other valuable "articles, stolen. It is • re markable that the thieves, in the 'first instance, cut away the wires and cranks of a patent alarm ; and after . they had finished their business, took the alarm-bell, wires, and all, with them. The same night the washing-house of Mr. Gbom, of the 'Marine Crescent, - Bermondsey, was broken . open, and a large quantity of wet linen taken away. A few days ago, as a labouring man, of the name of Sendai, was digging in Ely Common, Canibfidge shire, he.discoVered a !ump of metal in the form of a ,battle-axe, which he took hone with him ; and on shewiog it to a perscn, it proved tr.c be gold, which weighed upwards of 17 ounces. 4)'7 4 '
