BPANApOII'4, ill which the latter were *Mat with the loss of 506aien killed and i. 4,000 taken prisorfers. Though it is our deity to notice these reports, we are at the same time bound} to WA, th 4 they are uot entitled to any credit. WE this day present our Readers with the Can*. elusion of the KING of PaUSSIA's Manifetto, N:Vhich g ives such an account of the craft, injustice, inao knee; and perfidy of the French Ruler, as could hot be credited if alledged against any other person, perhaps„in the whole world; but which is in all points - too strongly supported by fads, and the un fortunate :state to 'Which he has brought the Conti bent, to admit of the least .doubt. The only won 'tier is, -, that the - KING of PRUSSIA, who has so accu rately,observed, and so faithfully recorded the enor imous and multiplied acts of French aggression, could have borne. t hem so long and with such a 'submissive forbearance. It is, however, plain that the KING of Vat] s siA does not deserve all the imputations ofa mean 'and interested desire of extending his own territories which have been so often heaped upon him, bUt that on anxiety to keep himself secure" from the fury of the Gallic storm has induced him to yield to tern ioriii g etpedients, and to submit to arrangements itroposedbfir Which, in another - state iof things, he would probably have revolted. •This system arty increased the pride, and. gave en- , courarnetit to the ambition of the Powe r that in re3lit, aimed at his destru&loh. It can hard ly be cloui4eki - . that the KING of PRUSSIA is encouraged by the secret intentions of Austria.- ,as well as the stin 6-4eration of iitit.ia,,for it mat be obvious to the fornier Power, that if Prussia is overwhilt/gsk the ruin of Maria - must` soon follow. But a beitir ,prosptiO 'stems to be rising ; the Sovereips of it Cettairies, whether under. the griping influence of Viaifee' not, must see *that no confidence can be piated.in such a cha raeter as BOVAPARTE, and that if could slimed in the' overthrow of PruSsia, they moist sink into the most obsequious submission ; and ihat, even that could not secure them whenever he 4.ranfed to raise any of his Relation 'or his Minions to afbront. ' has been erroneously stated in several Pape*, that Peers, as well as Members or the House of 'Commons, are deprived of the privilege of franking or receiving letters free during the Dissolution of Parliament': ' The fact is, that Peers' letters are only charged with postage from the day of the Dissolution until forty days previous to the as sembling (he New Parliament, when their Franking recommences ; and such MeMbers as are returned to the New Parlianient then begin to send and , receive Letters free of Postage: is MAJB&rY did not come to town yesterday, but lie is expetied to-rnorrovv , ,.

At the Quarter Assembly of this city, yesterday, Mr. GIFFARD, after an appropriate speech, moved, " That the freedom of this 'ancient and loyal City be presented to Lieutenant-General Sir DA-vin - BAIRD ; Brigadier-General WN.

BERESFORD';' Major-General Sir JOHN STUART '; Rear-.A.dmiral Sir HOME POPHAM ; and Commodore Sir S'ArxltJEL' Hoon, each in a box OfSHILLELA OAK, tale etrklem of their own hearts, STRONG AND INCORRUPTIBLE, pith suitable inscriptions." The AsSembly received the motion with plaudit% and unanimously concurred. Mr. GIFFARD then - adverted to the approaching dissolution of Parliament; and, after expressing his decided approbation of the contlud of Mr. SHAW,- one of the present Representatives of the.-City of . Dublin, submitted a motion, the ette& of which was, to pledge the Assembly to support that Gen tleman at the next Eleilion. - After some debate a ballot was called for, when 'there appeared, Ayes 48—Noes 19—Majority "29: It was then carried. - - - Mr. Hui-I.°N then proposed a similar motion in favour of Mr. JOHN LATOUCHE. was opposed .by Mr. GIFFARD, on the ground that M r. LATOUCHE had disobeyed the positive instructions of the Assembly when a vital q uestion was at issue ' . and that when the City of Dublin had presented a Petition to Parliament, praying it to maintain . the King and Constitu tion, Mr. LATOUCHE had declined supporting their Petition. Another conversation ensued, whidi also ended in a ballot--For Mr. LAtov CHB 36---against him 34 —majority 2. The motion was carried. Mr. SHAW then returned thanks in the hand, sorriest manner. He, had ever considered in, terests of his native City, and hiS Fellow Citizens, as his own ; and while they continued to repose their confidence, in him he would, by every exertion in his • power, endeaVour to render himself deserving their favour. This was received with acclamation. ' After some further business the Assembly ad. journed.

A nue Portait of Lord NRLFON, value one hundred guineas, purchased by the Gentlemen of the Society, and painted - by C. HEATHER, Esq, was suspended in the room in which the Society Met. It is neeily as large as life, and re present'sthe late gallant -ro, with his left hand re clining on .the Vices.A. e :el Flag, which is placed on the fore-ground against a column. Under the Flag, on fhe pedestal of the column, is a basso, relievo of Fame, seated on a Lion couchant, in scribing the immortal riaine bf 'Net.sore. A distant view' of the pyramids of Egypt is introdUced, as . these stupendous fabrics were deemed appropriate emblems of the durability of his well-earned fame in the total destrutaion of the Enemy% Fleet at the, memorable Battle of the Nile., Near to his right foot, towards the back gee:A — are the Flags of France, Spain, and Den - Mark, which are over. shadowed by his robes, to signify the vanquished state of these Powers. The ba6k eround repre sents a solemn sun -set, with a grand sky, to denote the tinie of day our irivindible Hero fell, and to commemorate the glorious manner in which his sun ,of life went dOwn. On this occasion the piclure was encircled with variegated lamps • the . room was also lighted with variegated lamps, platio4id devides :emblematic of the memorable day. At six o'clock the company sat doWn to dinner ; ELTON, Esq. being President. After the cloth was remiefed, the following loyal toasts were drank; With three times three: The King, the Prince of Wales, Duke of York and Army, the Inike of Clarence and Navy, Admiral. Collingtvood, and all the Officers who fought alongside of the gallant Nelson. Aftdr Which, Mr. ELTON'S health was'drank with 'three times tliree ; and he having addressed the company in a very able speech, all the Gentlemen signified theirsintentiOn of meeting the same day in the l'ollowing year. The Earl' of. LAUDERDALE, during his late resi deuce in France, was extremely desirous of procur-, ing permission from th 6 French Ruler tFr the return of the English; who, s contrary to every usage among, civilized States,were so unjustly and catchy detained at Verdun., The Noble Lord intimated his wishes., to one Of BONAPARTE'S Ministers, but, apprehen sive that if he appliedat first for the eidargement of the whole of his Countrymen, he might be exposed to a Mortifying refusal,. he only solicited the freedom of three or four. indiyrdilalS farwhOrti he declart.d. he was particularly line' tested, aLthe same time en deavouring to discover from the Minister Whether it was likely that the same indulgence might be ex , tended to the rest. The Minister, whose • name it would be imprudent and' ungenerous to mention,, candidly assured the Noble Lord that lie dared not communicate his Lordship's request, even for a single individual, to the Emperor, lest he should draw upon. himself. the influence of a temper sus ceptible of the most violent irritations, and which immediately gives way to the most, outrageous ex cesses.. Such is the man who rules over the =for= tunate people of 'France, with a much more dread ful severity than ever they experienced from the worst Of their: lawful Monarchs, or indeed, than the Tyrant of any barbarous Stine yet known to,the world. :The .General QUarter Sessions for Middlesex and Westminster cornineneed yesterday morning at Guild hall, Westminster, before W. MAINWARING; Esq. Chairman, and a numerous Bench 'of Justices of the Peace for Middlesex and WeStminster. The several Grand and Petty Juries for Middlesex and Westmin- , Ster attended, and were sworn in, in the usual way. Lists of the Petty Constables were also called over, and the business concluded for the day. The Ses sions for Middlesex were adjourned over until Mon ' day next, at Hicks's Hall, Clerkenwell, and the Court proceeded to the business of the Sessions for Westminster to-day. • On Saturday night, about twelve o'clock, as a Watchman was going his round, he heard the cries of a new-born infant near the opening made far the London-doCks, at the upper end of Old Grayel-lane,. Ratcliff-highway, where it had been left_ to perish. He took it to the watch-house, and fromthence it was sent to the workhouse. A Harbour Sessions was held at Dover on- Mon day, at which the Lord Warden attended. It is said, many alterations are to take place ; one of which is, that of piloting Vessels for the Harbour, which has hitherto been done in a . pernicions Way, and fre- c quently much difference has arisen between The Captains and Pilots, to do away which, it is said, I a certain number. of qualified persons are to be pointed,_ and a proportionable price affixed; and . L that the same is to extend to Rattispte. WavaksTEß A. numerous meeting . of the Eleaors of 'West minster took place yesferday at the Shakespeare :Tavern, CoVent-Garden.—Though no public notice was given, the Eleetors flattened to greet the only legitimate Representative, on whom their clover must fix, as the successor of Mr. Fox. It is scarcely necessary to say, that we mean Mr. SHA RMAN-41f. MOORE, the Member for Coventria was in the Chair. He was surrounded by many persons of rank and talent j amongst whom were The Hart of Barry more, Viscount Petersham,- Hon. Berkeley Craven Mr. T. Sheridan. 'Hun.. Lieaaoli t Stanhope, Mr. Mellish, Mr. fleathebte,. Sir Robert Barclay, Mr. Wilson, Mr. How orth, Mr. Norton, ' Hen. Augustus Wray, Mr. .1-1. Scott, Mra Graham, Mr. Braud,,Mr. Moir, &c. In the onmter of Loyal Toasts,. the health of the . Prince* . \Yeats was, drank with enthusiasm. Ti e Chairman, in an eloquent discoeree, remarked on the ,4. o oCaUln which w:IS kft by the atomise ,of their late illustrious Representative. As Stars shone brighter in the absence of the Sun, teani e Candidates had., offered, and sonic had obtruded thainseiaes. He, however, could _see.but one perkoh . Whi.i was capable of filling the place of Mr. Fox ;--anan ze cleated to his pereon and principles, and who, whenever he stood in oppositioo to that great - States-men, rested on such fair grounds, thae the thOmentary discOrd ance of their OpiCiCUS never tended to .diteinislf their friendship. He concluded by giving the health of the Right Hon. R.cilAt U BaLtiseee ,Sueetoma, and succeis to his Eleation for We'll; mister. Mr. SHRIUDAN 'kicky returned les thank - s, tHe . had, he said, so fully - expressed his sentiments to the ,Gentlemen assembled at a forrnerMeeneg, that little was left for him to s: y. The Chzii!-man Irtd ve: - y pro , perly.observed, that " Gnly in the absenen of the Sun." 'That Sun had; entialunately, set in death ! On looking into the scale of intelle&, he knew of no man \VIIO could adequately replace his lamented friend. In a political life of 26.v.‘ar;, it was his chief pride and boast that he had allied himself with that great man, had trod in his steps, end allied. himself to his principles. The accidental diiierencec.: which occurred had never broken in upon the car- * diality of their union. Duly to replace such a man was impossible, and, so itnn)ense was his supe r riority, that all other Cantiidates must be considered neatly on a level. He was ever in unison with his deceased friend in favour of those principles of li berty, which, thongh they w;dre abused on the Con-. tineut, were still' dear to England,'and must ,ever .considered as the best and most sacred gift of our Creator ! • Mr, SHanIDAN concluded by saying; I shall - make no professions, because I think them am necessary. I have :stated in my advertisement— that what I have been I shall still continue to be. If you honour me with your confidence, I promise most solemnly that I shall nevr swerve from my, duty."—This-short speech was received with loud and merited applause. The toasts which Follosted were---" The Dike of Beneottiathe Duke of NonAotic—Aldertnau. COMBS--Mr. Ftiwicts, the new aindklate for York shire—Mr.BYNG•--the Chairman--the Cause of Li berty throughotu the. World, exc." Mr. Snentoars, after,a short preface, in which he stated, that the feeling's of Mr. Fos were precisely* in unison with those of his Colleagues its and that a his decease was lamented by them w:th a re gret-as deep as was felt by England and by Europe, gave " the Health of Lord 'Howlett, his successor." Lord Glues - emu was the next toest-eto which was subjoined - a wish for " the Unanimity and Per manency of the present Administration." . A Gentleman who was present, after pronouncing qn eulogium upon the political principles. of Sir b. Bttnnirrr, and expressing a - wish that the names of SHERIDAN and BURDETT might never be • separated, proposed - the Health of Sir F. BURDETT. Mr, - .StIERIDAN said, that if in coupling,his name with that of Sir. F. BuRD.iTT, it, tras intended to identify his political sentiments with those of the Honourable -- Baronet, particularly ,as explained the' Honourable Baronet's Letter to Mr. PAUL L , he must beg leave to disclaim any such coincidence of opinion. Upon the principles laid down in that Letter no man who had accepted a place under Go vernment could be a fit'Representative for a frEe people, consequently Mr. Fox hiinself ought Dew have . been again 'returned- for Westminster. Tl,is was, a "Princjple which, Mr. SHERIDAN said, was re pug-nap rtnthe spirit of the Constitution, and there fOi•e= he was desirous-that it should not - be for a mo ment supposed that bp acquiesced in it. . The Gentleman who proposed Sir F. Bonnsrr's Health,Tne'xplanation, said, that he was convinced that the principle to which Mr. SHERIDAN had ob jeEted did not proceedtfrom Sir FRANCIS BURDETT Mt 1!, but from an old Miink, who, having no thing else to leave behind him, was willing to be queath his malignity as a. legacy to mankind. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT'S Health was then drank. The convivial spirit of the evening was kept up by prune excellent Songs, from Mr. KELLY, Mr. T. SHERIDAN, Mr. GRAHAM, Mr. GlrnoN, Mr. DA.ns, and, a number of other Gentlenaen. Yesterday, as Mr. CRAlifkK, a Gentleman residing in Kingsland-road, Shoredi h, was driving in a sin gle horse chaise, accompanied- by a young Lady, along Bishopsgate-street, on turning into the Mino ries the off wheel came in contact with a hackney coach, and by the shock the Lady, was thrown out with great violence. On conveying her to the house of a Surgeon contiguous, her shoulder was tOund to he-dislocated, and her, right side dreadfully bruised ; in \\Nah situation she was removed home. Mr.' CRididdk was unhurt, -but the axletree of the chaise was broken, and one of the shafts. it did not ap pear that the hackney coachman was driving negli gently. As Mr. SKItcNER, a horse-dealer, and Mr. KELLY, an au&ioneer, were returning frdm Clapham in a single-horse chaise, on Tuesday. night, about ten o'clock, the vehicle was overturned by encountering a post, In turningout of Warwick-street i n t o S wa t': low,street.
