IDNIX)N,
FRIDAY, Ocrosta Is.

The German Legion began to embark yes—
terday. at the ports in the Isle of Thanet, and
will positively sail to-morrow, should the wind
and weather permit them. Their stores are
shipping at Portsmouth, at which place, an order
for that purpose was received on Monday. The
troops are commanded, tri by Gireral Des.
The ultimate and permanent command is a question
of considerable doubt and d..licacy. As we stated
yesterday, the troops are certainly destined fur
Stralsund, where they expeß to be joined by the
Swedes and Ilussi.uss. Should the Krag of SMLUEN
command the united force in person, His Royal
Highness, the Duke of CAMIRIDUS, will command
the Hanoverian Army, under Ilk MAJLST ; but,
if that should not prove the case, Russia, whose
contribution w:11 be the largest part of the Com-
bined Force, wiil probably appoint the Commander-
in-Chet of the whole. That appointment v. ill, of
course, vest in the General of the Itiissian Contin-
gent, who is inferior in rank and dignity to His

ROYAL. HICIOII3S. Ws ROYAL. RI<INIMU, there-
, fore, will not, in that event, accept a command in
the Expedition.
Three Gottenburgh Mails, and the Hamburgh
Mail, due on Sunday, arrived late on Wednesday
night, with letters and papers to the 9th instant,
which were delivered yesterday. We have extracted
from them the Note presented by Citizen Bac litß,
the French Chirp der .4,faiiet, to the Diet at Ra-
tisbon, to which we alluded yesterday. It is full
of rant our and violence against Austria, and
charges her, whether at peace or at war, the ally or
the enemy of Bavaria, with mAitating the destruc-
tion of the political existence of that Eledorate.
BONAP•RTIi has, no doubt, produced evidence
of this charge. sufli.:ient to convince the ELEcx oa,
and thus won him to his side. The convention
between them was executed the 27th of Septem-
ber. It stipulates, that the Bavarian troops shall join
the French army, and that the fortress of Wurtz-
burg shall be delivered up to the latter, both
which conditions have been carried into effed.

The Emperor ALEXANDER left Petersbitrgh, to
join his army, on the 2lst of September. On the
27th, he was at Brzec, and intended to proceed, with
all possible speed, to Vienna, where great prepara-
tions are making for his reception. The Russian
armies, on their march to co-operate with Austria,
are stated, in letters front Petershurgh, at 321,000
men. The army of reserve amounts to 30,1,000,
and a new recruiting, of four in every 500 persons,
has been ordered to take place immediately, which
will produce an additional force of 250,000 men.
The fist Russian column, consisting of 9,000 men,
arrived at Lemberg on the 30th of August ; the se-
cond, of 11,000 men, on the Ist of September ; the
third column, of 13,000 men, on the 5.1 of Septem-
ber; and on the Sth and 7th of September, two
other columns, each consisting of 11,000 men—in
all 56,000, which were expefted to reach the Bava-
rian frontier, about the Bth instant. It would be
there joined by a corps of Austrians under Gene-
ral KIENSMETER, and this united force would
form the advanced guard of the main army.
—The atrocious violations committed by Bona-
iss.vre against the law of nations, and his contempt
for the diplomatic charafter, which even in the most
barbaroug has L.en held sacred, have induced
the Emperor of Ausrata to withhold his pass-
ports from the FISINCiI AMBASSADOR. at Vienna, till
it be known, that Count Coassrzst„ and all
the Austrians at Paris, have received their's. A
thousand innocent viEtims in France, now suf-
fering all the miseries of poverty, sickness, and cap-
tivity, plead the necessity of this cautious proceed-
ing, on the part of Austria.

Yesterday, the RUSSIAN ANNASSADOIL transaeted
business at Lord MULCSAVeS Oflice.
Yesterday, about three o'clock, the Lord Caws-
CELLOR called upon Mr. Pax. In a short time
after, they went to Lord Mus.otaav►'s Office, where
A Cabinet Council was held.
Dispatches, of an important nature, were forward-
ed on Wednesday by Mr. SPASItOW, the Messen-
ger, to tit. Pctersburgh, for Lord GRANVILLL LE-
visott Gowet. Threelions had been previously
sent to Yarmouth for a fast-sailing cutter to be iv
readiness to convey Mr. SPARROW, on his arrival[
there, immediately to Gottenburgh.

No intelligence has yet been received from Ad-

continued cruising in nearly the same latitude in
which they captured the Calcrita, there is every
reason to hope, that the gallant Admiral will fall in

DRURY-LANE.
Mr. ELLISTON, last night, sustained the ardstnus
character of Macbeth. On his entry, he was greeted
with repeated plaudits. It is difficult to say in
what part he deserved the greaten praise. In the
scene with Lab,, Macbeth, where she persuades hint
to murder Dancan, his acting was peculiarly fine ;
and
" I dare do all that MIN become a man who dates d 0 more
14 rume,'
was pronounced with an emphasis, which drew
down t .unders of applause. The air-drawn dagger
scene was also excellent ; but, in the last aCt,whe.re he
calls for his armour, he appeared, from the repeated
plaudits and shoots of Innai, to have made the
greatest impression. Mrs. Power 1, in Lad, M,e-
Beth, was extremely well received, particularly u• 4 re
she takes the dagger from Macbeth, and in the RH-
quet scene. the piece went off with'e/at.

I 0 THE EDITOR OF THE BRITfSN PRESS.

Entron,—l read with pleasure its your Pa-
per of Saturday last, an article on the influx nt Fo-
reigners into this country ; if there ever were a pe-
riod in which private interest should be lost in public
goed, it certainly is the present ; and I rejoice to
see, that there are men, who, much to their honour,
sacrifice every consideration to that motive. I ha►e
vet), little knowlege in what concerns Foreign ship-
ping, or masked colours, hut I s.tw with regret, o•:
the recommencement of war, that so many Foreignei s
were suffered to remain here, cm the responsibility ot
peopie who knew very little about them ; nor am I
less concerned, that on various pretences, so many
of them of su►picious charaEter, still enjoy the same
privilege ; from those who understand their lan-
gulps, I am credibly informed, that they daily hold
cor.versations, which are not only highly improper,
but insulting to the country they inhahit ; their
very countenances tire political thermometers, in
which you may read our bad or good success; the
first constantly attended with a sentiment of j.ty,
that even the known volubility of some of them can-
not sofici.•otly ,xpress ; daring, because they think
they have noehing to fear from our known gene-
rosity,- to violate what they owe to our indiecrimi-
Mat! hospitality. Like the viper in the fable, they
bite the breast, whose warmth adds vigour to their
existence. As a commercial nation, we are exposed
to many improper visitors ; ►ut still we have the
rv-er to distinguish pursuits, some of which are
glaringly against as. Men, seeking the preference
CA our orders, are only useful to themselves. and,
generaliy, most attached to their darling, Bonaparte;
they triumph in every apparent disgrace that may
threaten us. Sould we not then, with a jealous eye,
s trinise their atrival or departure ?—No well-
meaning, honest man, fears the striftest exarni-
ulticin, and for those who are not so, little cere-
mony is requisite. The vigilance of Government
es -fled, no lurking place will remain unexplored,
ac.l !h.: implements of Corsican subtiley must be
resealed, or fly. We are not Trojans, but favoured
S.:tc of Neptune ; let us then go boldly forward in
the discovery of our hidden enemies.

DEAL, Ocr. . 16.

Yesterday an experiment of a new-invented ma-
chine, for destroying ships at anchor, was trit d in
the Downs, and succeeded in the roost complete
manner. A large brig was anchored abreast of
‘Valmer Castle, about three-quarters of a mile from
the shore. Two or three gallies then rowed off and
placed the machine across the cable of the brig,
which, by the running of the tide, was soon forced
under her bottom, about the centre of the keel,
where it attaches itself In a few minutes, the
clock-work of the machinery having performed its
operation, a swill cloud of smoke was seen to ise
from the vessel, which, in a moment after, was
blown to atoms, without any noise, or any appear-
ance of fire. In about twenty.seven or twenty-
eight seconds, not a vestige of the brig was to be
seen, as the fragments were then level with the wa.
tee's edge. General Don, with a number of Mili-
tary and Naval Officers, went with Sir Sidney
Smith to Mr. l'itt's, at Weimer Castle, to witners the
experiment, and expressed the utmost astonishment
at the destrtglive powers of the invention. —The
beach was lined with speCtators, who could li irdly
believe what their eyes had witnessed, so sudden
and powerful was the destruaion of the vessel.

MURDER.

Further particulars of the horrid murder we men-
tioned on Monday last :
Oa Sisturday the sth instant, was committed to
the Gaol at Durham, howsal Mho*, a journeyman
smith, charged upon the Inquest of Mr. Josaeii
AN[. Coroner, and a respelahle Jury, with the
wilful murder of Margaret Bark •r, of lu. tan Rud.
by, spinster. The circumstances of this horrid trans-
aElion, as appeared upon evidence before the Jury,
which sat ,even hours. were as follow:

The deceased, as respeetahle woman, about 46
years of aae, had for several years subsisted herself
and het aged parents, by travelling in the adjacent
country, with honsewife cloth, princip illy the pi?-
petty of a Mr. Francis Stainthorp, of that place ;
she left her home on the Wedeesday morning, and
came to Stoekten upon her besinese and that even-
ing slept at a respedeble public house; but, unfor-
tunately for herself, went on the following evening to
the'house of Wilson, (where she at times had ben
used to stay). Fro:1 the evidence of his wife and her
danghter, the Prisoner at half-past 12 o'clock, arose
from his bed, r..-..lwent up stairs to a chamber, where
the deceased, tee wife's daughter, and her infant child
slept; the deceased laid upon the side of the he
nee, Atr door, whom he immediately attackei
.• r a razor, and cut her in the cheek, efterwers!s in
the throe, from ear to eir, ar.d in other parts of the
neck ; soon afterwards a cry of murder was heard
by the neighbours, some of whom being aroused,
came to the fatal sista, and stumbled over the body
of the deceased, at the foot of the stairs, neat to the
street done ; upoe the art ival of the town's officers
and others, the murderer attempted to defend him-
self on the tdp of the stair-case, with the bloody
rarer and a ilould-rake; with the letter, he struck
one of tfte patty a violent blow upon the arm and
head, who returned it with a short constable's staff,
and he direelly surrendered ; of course, was secured
in a place of confinement. When the Jury delivered
their verdict, the pockets of the deceased were
searched, and with the money, goods, Ste. there did
not appear that any ot har property was taken ; the
body of the deceased was then washre; and put into
a shell forenterment, which took place on use
fd-
lowing Sunday, at Hutton fludby.
From circumstances which transpired, it would
seen' to warrant conjecture, that the intention of the
Murderer was not direeted towards the deceased, but
to his wife and her daughter : the latter had laid in
about lour or five months since of a child, of whom
he Was the reeuted father, aed being again said, or
suspeteted to be pregnere, it is supposed, that re-
morse of cons Mince indorsed him, by hearing ser-
trims in the Methodist Chapel, which he closely at-
teaded for near twelve months past, to get rid of the
object .4 Isis lust, by perpetretiag a more gross and
sanguinary crimx.
Lord Klee A I ao, we understand, died a few days
since, at his scat, Instate, in the county of l'erth,
S'entlend, after a few dlys illuess. his Lordship
will be succeeded, in his title and estates, by his sun,

rough ot Leoftsineter.
As JOHN RENNET, Eeq. President of the Royal
College of Surgeons, Edinburgh, was on a shooting

him upon the spot. Ile was in his 491 year. Mr.
BENNET was also surgeon to the Garrison of Edin-
burgh Castle —There are massy candidates for the

There was a severe storm of wind and rain, or.
Saturday, from eleven o'clock in the morning, twill
about midnight, at Whitehaven.
The following piece of gammon appeared last
night in an Evening rver, which has ton long
been suffered to escape without censure : —4. In re-
ward for the ability with which TA ..Lavaikoo had
duped the Cabinet of Berlin, BoaArARTR gave him
the nomaintion of a Commander of the Army of
lienover. General MASbENA offered to give the
Minister one million livres for the situation, to be
paid immediately; AUGEWEAU, one million two
hundred thousand livres, in three payments; Bett-
e eno rim, an estate he possessed in Normandy;
and Moartea, employing the negotiation of his
wire and urge, Madame and MaAemoiselle MOR-
TICE, a curie blanche. Through the intervention of
the ladies, it was settled, that' the General wa4 to
pay TA et.er AND, during the first three months,
three hundred thousand livres per month ; and,
during the remainder of his command, one hundred
thousand livres (about 4.2001 ) per mouth!" We
are confident that the Minister has not received in-
telligence to the above effeEt. from any of his
agents upon the Continent. What, then, are we to
think of the loyalty of a London Print, which is thus
able to penetrate into the very inmost recesses of the
Freach Minister's Cabinet. and yet has kept from
the English Gavemment, the important secret of
the Eleftor of BAVAIIIA'S ITO.Cy with Box ee 11 RTC j

The three boys, John Leech, Richard Dam err, and
James Leach, who a shunt time since were appre-
hended by young Crocker, coming from Croydon
Fair, when the eldest, John Leach, proved himself
such a complete master of the slang language,
have beim brought to the Office several times, and
underwent examinations ; but no persons who had
their pockets picked at the Fair could identi!y their
persons. The MsoisraisTas thought they should
be doing them a service, in preventing them from
being hanged, by sending them on board the Tender.
On Wednesday, Crocker took them on board, when
the Eldest was not so fond of him as a pal (a
compan'on), as when he mistook him for a brothiin-
pickpocket, and told him of the depredations he
h‘d committed. He was recognised by a pal (a

him to be a deserter from the Ceres, lying off the

MANSION•HOUSC.

.1. Mon, Esq. a gentleman ofcohsiderailePro-
petty, in the city, was yesterday brought, on a war-
rant, before the LoanMAY OP, charged with com-
mitting an assault on Margaret Dawson, his cook.
The woman stated briefly, that, a few days
since, her master came down to the kitchen, when
she complained of the smell of fresh paint in the
house, upon which, and without any other provoca-
tion, he took her by the shioiliers, and turned her
out of doors, first having give-s her a blow with the
back of his hand on the mouth, which cut her se-
verely, and made her lips swell. She also pro-
duced a Witness, who dep .sed, that he saw her
soon after she was turned out of her mas:et's house,
with her mouth bleeding, rn.l her lips swelled.
Mr. Dixon positively atfirmei, that he had never
struck this, or any other woman. In February
last, he said. she had come into his service, and had
always been the must ill-tempered, saucy woman,
that possibly could be, continually wrangling with
the other servants, six in number. So much dis,
content was expressed by them, that he, at or.s
time, determined to part with her, though she was
an excellent cook, and a very honest woman. When
his family removal out of town for the summer, lie
thought it the best plan to let her remain in the
town-house. A few days since, while the painters
were in the house, getting i: rr.tdy fur the reception
of his famtly, this woman gave terself the greatest
airs, saying; she could not possibly res;de in a place
where there was such an abominable smell. and
going on in such a manner, that he went down
stairs and turned her out of his house, but certainly
had not struck her.

The Loan MA vutt said, that as there was no per-
son present, and as the woman had svri:rn to the
assault, it was his duty to oblige him to give secu-
rity, to appear at the next Sessions, unless he chase
to make it up in some manner with the woman.
Mr. Dixon expressed his determination to go to
trial, and accordingly put in biti:.
The Porter at the Golden Cress, Charing-cross,
was summoned before the Loco Ma volt, for ex-
torting two-pence, for booking some game that had
hen sent to him from the country, seen, according
t the aft, he had no right to make such a charge,
nor did any other Coach Office in London venture
to do it. On examining into the Mt, however,
there appeared some doubt about the penal clauie ;
and, as it had been, in a similar case, determined,
that the YARD MA volt had no jurisJi>tion, his Lord-
ship, though he could not but reprobate the extortion,
discharked the complaint.
Thomeir Lre, a jack-ass man, accused his wife of
robbing him of a jack-ass and hampers, and im-
plored-his Lordship to commit her for the same.
Ile told his dismal story, how his wife, whom he
had not lived with for some time, had taken pos-
session ot his jack-ass and hampers, and hrd
popped them for a guinea and a half, with a dealer
in the green-market, who was also at the bar.
Mrs. Lee, on her part stated, that her husband
was a vile man, and lived openly, and in the face of
day, with another woman, without allowing her,
Wil(1 WAS his lawful wife, a shilling to maintain her-
self. The parties, and tour or five witnesses, all
began to tell different stories at the same time, and
the LORD MAYOR dismissed the complaint, as a
woman could not rob her husband; desiring her, it
she wanted a separate maintenance, to apply to her
parish.
Si A It I.IIOIIOUGIN-STItET.
A case of considerable importance, between the
Pawnbrokers and the Public, was yesterday agitated
At this office. We stated a few Jays since, that an
Officer of rank in tits Army sought to recover
goods from a respetable Pawnbroker in St. James's,
which had been stolen, and pledged by his servatit.
The ca‘e was yesterday fully entered into, all the
witnesses being present. The robbery was proved
by Gregory a constable. The Officer contended,
as on a tormer day, that the goods pledged for 171.
were stolen from his house, and that the Pawnbroker
was bound to deliver them up. The Pawnbroker
submitted to the Magistrate, that the articles had
been often pledged by the servant, who had ab-
sconded. It was only a few weeks since, that she re-
deemed pledges to the amount of 321.—He al-
ways understood, by the servant, that the goods
belonged to her mistress, the Officer's compa-
nion ; and, after her frequent visits, he might
as well Heise& dishonesty in every one who came to
his shop; and, consequently, might employ number-
less persons continually to run about town, making
imptiries. If he were bound to deliver the goods in
question, every person might make demand on his
property, as the owners seldom came in person.
The Mactisrattre telt himself bound to order the
goods to be delivered to the owner, as felony was
clearly proved, and he had no power to a,:t other-
wise. He, however, ordered the goods to be detain-
ed a month longer, in hopes that the thief might be
apprehended in the mean time.
