Extract of a letter from Lisbon, dated Jaly Ifl :
—" The intelligence from this capind impresses
our hearts with the protoulidest melancholy, and
the must direful im;re,es of death. Loganle, that
worthy associate of lioliespierre, has let loose the
most revolting fury, and the most ferocious bar-
barity agai ,st the inoffensive inhabitants of this
city. ictims witho it number are daily immolated

His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales arrived
at the Pavilion, at three o'cloek, this morning, from
London. The morning was in in by the
ringing of hells, and every preparation was made
at an early hour for'the }:ace-ground, which dis-
played a numerous range of booths, with the flags
Hying on the tope ; ,Lows and round-abouts were
in their usual quantity and demand. The Jerusa-
lem' potiies were also in great request.
At 11 o'clock, the Steyue was filled w;th a nu-
merous assemblage of Sporting Cilentlinei.—odds
were t to 4 on the Duke of Grafton s Venrfeke,
and 4 to 1 against his Royal Higlniess tie Prince
of Wales's Rakes,. At twelve o'clock every can
riage in Brighton ascended the Hill, followed by
a 'amen:kis cavalcasle horsemen, and a erns dof
pedestrians of every description. The inurisino
bring very line, the Ladies were elegantly dresstnr,
and the display of parasols, to keep off the scorch-
ing rays, bad a heontiful effect.
At our o'• los k his Royal Highness the Prince rf
Wales, in ins laitouihe, and I.IX foie hays, with
postilions in state liveries. tirrivid on the i/rniiiid.
His Royal Highness sin; irn.seil in a dirt. rem
coat, and wore a brown :• -aver hat ; he looked in
gnu'! health and spirits. Mr. Day accrieinunied
his Itoyal Highness, who, on his anise" at the
caur,', mounted his grey charger, and rode 'up to
the starting post. The Earl of Pt terhomrigh, Lord
Faskioe, Earl Berkeley, and Viscount Petersham,
also mounted their horses en th 4 Course. Amongst
the elegant carrirv.4es were those of Earl Berkeley,
with the Countess and their lovely boys; Lord
and Lady Beanclininp, Lord and Lady ..:'irances
Spencer. and Lord and Lady Arthur Some %et.—
As soon as the bell had rung for saddling. tiie la-
dies mounter' the dickies, and friini thence iiinved
the races for the sweepstakes of gnu guineas. The
raids were 2 to 1 on Co-terns. It was a very good
race, and waz won by roily half a length ; Cerberos
made the posh at the co gin., For the Pavilion
take; of Ito guiaras, great sums of motley were
depending on Vandyke. He continued to be the
favouri,e until he came up the hill, when Ruben,
steinei to push Inns hard, and won loy,l,alf a neck.
The silver cup was very well contested ; the horses,
at the co • g in, might have been covered with a
sheet. Here the sport of the day ended.
The evening promises very fair, soil we expect a
full ritryne. The Play, this evening, is The Honey
Mane, with the grant) Serious Pantomime of Oscar
and Malrina; or, The Hall of Fingal. To con-
chide with the burning of Carrors camp.

the number of Kg-mina applying for tickets for
the dinner to be givr,i to the Spanish Deputies,
this day, amounted, yesterday, to 480, which, at
the rate of three gusiear per ticket, amounts to
1401.

At i special assembly of the corporation of Nor-
wich, summoned on li.riday last, " to consider of
an Address of Thanks to IlisM Ai esiv for his great,
prompt, and liberal support of Spanish loyalty mid
bravery," a Committee was appointed to draw up
the same, which being done, was read, and unani-
mously agreed to; it was likewise ordered that the
City Members be riapiested to present it, accom-
panied by the 'Maven., RECORDER, Sn:w.tao, and
such others of the Corporation as choose to attend.
At the same Assembly, a report of the Committee
apptaated at the Itekt taeetirnf, respecting the erec-
tion of a bridge over the river. near Carrow Abbey,
was received ; but considerable ohjectivin being
made thereto, it came to a ballot, and'wes finally
lost in both bodies. We understand another plan
has been suggested, of erecting one near Accs's
foundery, which, from the centre of the city of Nor-
wich, will be litt!e more than half the way, and may
be ev,Tuted at a much liaises:pease than the other
situation.
