About four/ o'cloek the concourse of • people • was immense; when the Plutica, the DUKE of CLARENCE, Lord and Lady HERTF6RD, with, the lest of their Noble Guesmi appeared in the balcony, under the.grand co ;.onade-='-the 'whole forming a most interesting sight; To describe the joy that pervaded every countenande Would be impossible, and this happy scene lasted until half past five o'clock, during which one could billy discover the great anxiety to approach •their Prince, always observing the utmost respell. At ii times one felt as if the press to gain a nearer view el their Royal Highnesses would shake the very foundation of the edifice. Their Royal High hessek seemed remarkably cheerful an d p l eased with the different groupeS, and encouraged by their teftidescencling.and amiable manners feelings. which were to fill the bosom of, every spedatoe, 'The Band continued to. play all the evening, and I he liete it was ' , very late ere these happy visitors reach ed their several homes, but preserving the greatest quiet; The Royal Party leaves this hospitable mansion - to-morrow for Ross-Wall, near Shrewslsury,Ahe seat of CECIL FOREST ER , E sq. .•., • Our Readers will remetnber ttrAf we gaVe . ati am ple account of the. late hearing iii thee:Dun of Chan cery on the subject of Lord CHEDWOR'IIeS as well as the Letters weittea by Dr; PAart,,,which were read in Court, in contradiEtidn to the tendency of the Doelor's affidavit, purporting that the de ceased Nobleman .was disordered in his—mind. • The article of Plate which was presented by Lord CHEDWORTH to Dr. PARR, by request of the latter, consisted, we understand, of a Tureen and Ladle, and the following is the inscription which Dr. PARR wrote, in order to save his Noble Patron from the ,trouble of compo s i ng one , an d hi mself from any Violation of modesty by too complimentary an eulo glum : "SAMUFLI PARR, L.L.D.

E. D..l , :i;:•G, .Ciiinmandt;r, with the following VesSels under coli- H;vOy, arrived here on Sunday last : - --ShipS*.Malvina, Dublin, and Orford, for Jamaica ; Baltic Merchant,. and .York, for Antigua ; 'Union, for Grenada • Aram , , dalen, for St. Vincent; Recovery, for St. Kitt's Favourite, for. St. Thomas's ; for Tobago ; ; and Charming Eliza,' for ,Barbadoes. They left Spithead on the_ 12th ult. and Falmouth, th&i 6th; twenty,one Sail in company, seven of which have proceeded to the Southern Colonies, and four, for Africa. By the Agamemnon, just arrived from A& miral COCHRANO Squadron, we learn; that they were left on the 17th inst. off Antigua, on their re , . turn there.. It appears also, that the Enemy's. Squa , - dron was joined on ther7th instant by another Line of- battle Ship, making their force superior by three to ours in view of them the preceding day. JULY 26.—Sir ALEXANDER COCHRANZ, - in the Northumberland, arrived at Antigua on the 17th in stant; and according to late accounts from Lee . ward, Sir J. B.,WARREN'S passed St. Thomas's on the 'above day, in quest, of . the Eneffiy. If recent accounts: from. St.. Lucia ar e ' t o b e credited, the Enemy, is contriving further annoyance to these :Islands, it being confidently affirmed there that ano ,ther Squadron (said to be from Rochefort, under Admiral ALAMONO is momentarily expe6ted at 'Mar tinique. Lord SEAFORTH yesterday took his, de parture, from this I s l an d, on b oar d t h e ' Ship Severn, Captain Wairsot , :, with the homeward -bound trade, under convoy of His Majesty's Ship AgameMnOn. The Honourable President INCE succeeds, to the Go vernment, and will be swOrn into office oh Monday next. JULY 29.—The public will hear (and we record it)' with the keenest regret and sorrow, that yester 6ay; which, had been appointed for the swearin g in as President and C omman d er i n • Chief dthis Island of the Honourable Jontv INCE, terminated- the earthly honours and career of pnblic duty of this faithful, indetatiiable, and zealour Officer of our ChlOnial Government, and valuable Member of th e ,Community.. His death was occasioned by an ac cident, of- a Negro's driving 'a horse 'furiously (a practice whiCh it' is to be,wotidered has not been attended with more frequent fatal effects) , against him about 14 days ago, just as he had mounted his own ; from which he was precipitated, and feceived such a contusion generally throughout, his fithme, as, although at the moment it did not appear to be attended with any.alarming Consequences, has thus cut off one of the best ornaments of the Coun try, at the very moment he. was, for a second time; about to enter upon the duties of its most impor tant office; and had but just attained the 50th year . of his age. . The route of the French Squadron through the West.lndies„and the progress of that of the. British ;in quest of them, have at length t erm i nated, but in • 'its result not with that brilliancy which' we have been taught to expel from the established- enter prize and unconquerable spirit of our Navy. Pur-. suing the accounts of. the hostile Squadrons in their respe6tive tracks, from, the period and _situation in. which our last accounts stated them to. be, we find, that on the 4th instant the French Fleet anchored at St: Alartin's, to.procure pilots for Tortola, _pro fessedly bound there for the Aestrudion of our trade that had escaped from St. Kitt's, and which they ima g ined would take. re f uge t h ere; a nd having. received these on board, they sailed again.the same evening. On the' mottling of the sth Admiral COCARANE appeared off Si: John's (Antigua),. and being apprised of the Enemy's'objeal, immediately bore up after him, and paSsed St. Bartholomew's at day-light on the 6th. At ten A. M. the same morning Gut.l4.e.ttmEz's Squadron, consisting' of eight, Sail, passed. to leeward o f th e h ar b our of St.' Thomas, within gun-shot, under their three top sails ;' and immediately after the British Squadron, of - six Sail, hove in sight under. a - heavy press of sail, standing.dire& tOr the Ehemy, and bore down, at meridian, within gun-shot .of him. At this mo ment (the shores of St. Thomas crowded with anxi ous spe6tators on the tip-toe of expectation, ,waiting the pending battle; which now seemed inevitable) the British Squadron took in sail, and hove, to;- while the Enemy, indifferent as to- the tight; yet 'not daring to seek it, continuin4 under easy sail, pursued his course through the Salt Rock Pas sage, and stood tothe Northward. Our Ships haying lain by foran hour l filledagain their topsails, and hahl ing their wind, beat up-for Tortola, w here they brough t up .on Monday morning ; at which time, according ; to the report .of a Pilot-boat Schooner returned' • from OILLEA V MEZ'S Squadron .to. St. Thomas's, die enemy Was, laying by to the northward of that ,Island ; and two British Frigates Were watching their motions,, with orders to report to our Admiral at Tortola, where he was left at anchor on the tOth' instant. We derive these p ar ti cu l ars f rom Ca p tain Wit . ,LIAMS i of the Schooner Gipsey, which arrived here yesterday morning. He left St. ThoMas's on the 9th, and next day, touching at Tortola, 'spoke ,the Northuntterland. with our Squadron as above-stated, at anchor the e, ' In revi'ew►ng the enemy's escape, and the cir cutristances..under which it has, been efleaed, we must confess, ,that in the first impulse ofdisappoint /mut the efforts of our unequal Squadron have not been duly - appreciated : Accustomed to hear only of the via:hies of our Navy, we have been . hurried on to expe&, under an existing disparity Of force which could not justify the risk of a battle, ,that our Admiral would commit the safety of the West Indies to the chance of a contest that no corn:. mon prudence would have justified ; and which might ; in . its result,: have giien to BONAPARTE those " Ships, Colonies, •and Commeree," he so ar dently pants after. The More clearly'to shew this, let us examine the comparative force of each Squa dron, without taking the Frigates on either side into the calculation. BRITISH. FRENCH. Northumberland - 74 Fnuatoyant --• 8 4 Canada - 74 Elephant . - 74 Cazard 74 Agamemnon - - - 64 Patriot Imnettieux - -- 74 duns 286 A o l us - - - 74 Guns 4;4 Thus we see that the Enemy, in the advantage of two Ships, has no less than 168 pieces of heavy can - non in his favour. Mr. Fox. • Mr, Fox is now admitted- by bis friends and, inernies to be in the, most alarming state of indis= Position, and the Public may prepare themselveS•fo expeEt eery moment to bear that liis sufferingS . have terminated with his life. The unfavourable turn in his state took place on. Sunday evening, arid; the MediCal Gentlemen felt it to be their duty to give his friends notice of his rnelaneholy cOadition. It was yesterday, as we stated, confidently rumoured that he was 'dead; but • this report arose from the fears of some and the expe&ations of others. It is pos sible that he may linger ti day or two longer ;' but as there is no foundation for a rational hope that he will recover, those who really feel . sentiments of resped and regard for him . cannot wish that he may continue in his 'piesent pitiable Lord and Lady HOLLAND, Lord ROBERT' SYEN 7 CER, General FITZPATRICK, and those persons who have been long upon intimate terms with him, have been inoessant in their attentions to him. The Prince of WALES also has manifested great concern for him, as well as the.other Branches of the Royal Family. It is proper to statb, that from all we have heard, he has borne the whole of his sufferings with • tranquil reSignation, and submitted to .all the tnea s-ures which were thought likely to render him any • - service with the fortitude of.a great mind.--When we hear that the last awful event has taken place, we shall endeavour too give an estimate of his poli tical character and conduel, and, however, we may have differed with him, in . points of high or ,lesser importance ; it will be our earnest aim to represent his merits and defeds with ,candour as well as truth. The account of this day, from Chiswick, fully confirms all we have now sai4 and states, that Mr: Fox is very low." The following were the reports of Mr. Fox's Me dical Attendants yesterday : . " Chiswick, Nine o'Clock Morning: " DO6lar Moseley's respells to informs him that• Mr. fox has had a tolerable composed night, and slept at in tervals: his pulse this morning is rather improved. The extreme weakness of yesterday was occasioned by the water that has been drawn off from the vessels." Chis Wick, Seven o'clocki Evening; " Mr. FOx is very ill; but his pulse is rather stronger than the morning. " D.

A very brisk sale commenced at eleven o'clock, and the greater part of the lambs were sold by two. The following.prices were obtained For 3.

It was evident, at this fair, that the graziers gave the polled la tnbs the preference,- particularly. the Downs, the same weight of them being worth 24. more in twenty than any other breed. This fair, in its infant state, exceeds the expee,tations of the most sanguine for its welfare, and. bids fair to- be ; . come the first in the two counties.; its local situtioti for the growth of lambS giving it a preference to most others, as the sellers are not put to the incon venience and eXpenceof driving theitiambs to dis tant market. BRISTOL FAIR. At our fair, which commenced'on Monday, the skew of cattle was not large, and there were but few prime ones, which sold well, but lean ones were dull of sale. Horses were numerous, and good ones fetched high prices. The supply of leather of all kinds was unusually great; a great many inferior hides'remain unsold, but prime goods have goile off tolerably brisk, at redUced prices. - CORN-EXCHANGE,SEPT..IO.---There are but short supplies of Wheat here. to-day,. prime samples tain their price, but otherlualities have few buyers; new Rye fully at the currency; there is hardly: any gdod , Barley, Which is dearer, and Malt likewise; Beans .of both sorts are at better prices ; there are tolerable supplies Of 'Oat4; the foreign' car goes are mostly. out of condition, second..and ordi• nary samples are cheaper ; .

A very extraordinary circumstance has recently happened at : Paril.—The Theatre Francois, which is the highest in repute in that Capital, had 'fallen so much that the Condu&ors were obliged, a few days ago:. to announce a Relache, or no Play. ,This is a lamentable thing indeed for the, Parisians, for if they cannot have anzuseMent to atone for the loss of freedom, they will sink into themdSt pitiable state of .ennui ; or, what is . worse, may rise, again into the most ferocious and dreadffil atrocities. . .

The first. performance is .to be The Messiah, with MOZART'S Accompani trents,.' How the shade of BANDEL will bear these interpolations of one of his best works, if they should reach his ghostly ears, it is not difficult to conceive, as .he would most probably have routed the ,whole orchestra if such an attempt had been made while he was alive. On the following morning will be performed HAYDN'S :Oratorio of The Crea tion, after which is to be given the Coronation Anthem, " Zadoch the Priest." On the ThUrsday morning a grand sele6tion Of sacred music is to take place; and a similar sele6tion on the. morning after. The festival is to conclude with a Miscellaneous Con "bert on. Friday evening in the Theatre. Mrs. 1311.-. LINGTON, Miss NiCtiOLSON, , Mrs. DICKONS, late MISS POOLE, ,HARRISON, •GOSS, and BARTi.6IAN. are engaged, to abliply the vocal department.
