•I'h2 e.xtradts from the three Hamburgh
which amts. ,red yesterday in thi. Paper, and the
,!her London prints, afforded at imperfea view of
their contents. app-ared from them, that a ru-
mour generally prevailed upon the Continent, of an
intention to revive the negotiation of M. Norrosttr-
z.rrr ; but no authority was stated in its support,
%virile the acc,smits of military preparations in every
part of Europe, tended to throw it into doubt and
Discredit. Ulan a more careful pausal, however,
of the foreign papers, we have found an authority
that fully justifies the rumour. The Haminorgi Coe-
setponeienka contains, under the head of Ratisbon,
August 19dt, the substance of a declaration by the
:Austrian imperial Court, transmitted in the begin-
ning of that month to the COUIt of Berlin and other
CourtklkatAish the Court of Vienna laments the
failure ars*Worgotintion, and mattes a tender to
interpose its gnad olicts, and invites the rerpeaive
Courts to resume it. This irgfaciifant article, with
some other extrads from the foreign papers, are
given in our preceding columns. M. NOVOSILT.

Toe report of the breaking up of the camps at
Boulogne, and the dismantling of the flotilla in that
harbour, which we stated yesterday, has obtained
universal credit. For some time past, an inaEtirity
has been observed to prevail in that quarter, that
did not well accord with the menace of immediate
invasion ; and a suspicion began to prevail, that the
attention of the enemy was diverted to some other
able& It was only within the present week, that
this suspicion began to approach certainty in the
public mind. The intelligence of the saual break-
ing up of the camps, was, we believe, first cons-
municated to Government by Lieutenant Bosse,
of the Cowin cutter, arrived on Wednesday at
Deal, from off the French coast. with a' Frog*
lugger, her prise•. The lugger was bound frogs
Boulogne to Havre. Her crew sU assert. that the
French troops upon the coast fie marching to the
interior, and that the Emmy ' dismantling their
flotilla in Boulogne. Mather heir of the same
date, from an Officer on board one of the ves-
sels in the Downs, says s---" We this day came
in from Boulogne. A great change has taken
place there. Not a vessel is te be seen out-
' side the Fier ; nor could we see any soldiers
upon the heights around. As we were reconnoiter-
ing round the Bay. they fired shot and shells at us in
•very direction, before we came within range. This
plainly shews they wished to keep us from watching
their motions. The fad is, I have no doubt, that
almost the whole of the army is marched away from
Boulogne." Lord Kure sailed, we believe, on
Tuesday, and reconnoitred the French coast. Sir
Stooge Sean, as mentioned in the letters of our
Dover Correspondent, also proceeded off Boulogne
in the Desperate gun.brig, and arrived yesterday in
town, to see Mr. PITT, to whom, no doubt, he com-
municated the result of his observations. The Di.
/tient cutter, also arrived at Dover on Thursday, at
eleven o'clock, a.m. with the intelligence, that, at
six in the morning, a body of troops, apparently to
the amount of about 5000 in number, had struck
their tents, and begun their march into the interior,
with baggage, ammunition, AK. The few troops
that remain are in huts. On Wednesday, all the
flotilla were inside the harbour I not one was out•
side the Pier—the heights were deserted—not a
tent nor a soldizr was to be seen on them. Our
Deal Correspondent adds, that the troops on board
the flotilla were disembarked on Tuesday and Wed.
nesday, and immediately began their march from
the coast.

Orders were on Tuesday last received at the
Ilead-Quarters in Canterbury, from the SZCItZT AV/
at Walt, direaing that the several! Regiments itt

in number, are already arrived is the lh,wuc. fjt
the purpose, it is said. of receiviag them.
In this enumeration, we find materials for an ern._

dition upon a very exteasive scale. C it
with the breaking up of the camps at
we may presume that some great military ewer.
prises are at hand. The march of the Freinli
troops, if not a feint, which is not a probable oast,
could have only one of two other objets in view....
'The troops are gone into the Ulterior of Flame, ee,.
they have proceeded to the Rhine. In the to '
case, we must presume some internal convulsion et
disturbance; but. for that conjeelare, there is not the
least ground. The presumption, therefore, is, that
hostilities will immediately commence Ail!, .the
Continent. In that event, the eipeditloti now
preparing in England, whatever be its imme-
diate objet. will operate as a powerful diversion
in favour of our Continental Allies. The invader
will become the invaded, and aU
itt knowing,he boast and 4e•
mace of the Corsican, will only recoil in di-grace
toi res
upon his own head. The particular enterprise is
contemplation of the English Government, we can.
not be expeeted to knew ; nor,
veal. There are many points between the 'reset
and the Gulph of Greene, in which an English
army may gather new laurels. and contribute iu
generous aid to the deliverance of Europe.

was nut regularly three times .-day, animating
them by his example and precept, to a high sense
of their duty. There was an extreme fine effeEt
produced on the two days that the cavalry were re-
viewed, from the quick firings and rapid movements
of the two pieces of horse-artillery attached to this
corps. An officer, high in rank in the Royal Artil-

Bartholomew Fair was never more fully attended
than at present by the Power clasiFs; but that
which used to form its principal attriglion to those
who possess a laudable curiosity ; that which used
to gratify every pure and refined use, is now ab-
sent ; Mr. ['moues having, in consetrence of the
late raelaischoly event of the death of the Duke of
Gunnery'', declined to exhibit there his beautiful
• and curious colleiticea of birds And b.,aits. Gf
course, these interesting curiosities can only be seen
at hie Menagerie, at Exeter 'Change, which is daily
crowded with visitors.

parapets of the boxes have all been cleaned, and IS
a manner that renders the painting apparently as
fresh as the first season the Theatre was opened. The
taste displayed in the design And execution of the
classical medallions, and the light and airy impati-
ence of the painting in general, cannot be aurpaseed.
and it is, therefore, with pleasure we perceive. that
the painting before the curtain is nearly :intend to
its etiginal brilliancy.
The iron pillars which support the hoses have
been richly gilt —the seati, railing. and fi-ests of the
boxes have been covered with new crimson elxh.
and also the seats of the pd. 'lite whole of the

While the Proprietors have been solicitoui. to emus

and gratifying as possible to the public, they have
also had improvements made behind the aorta*
which will add to the lei.alth of the perfos.ners, and
to the comforts of the frequenters of the l'neatre.
A new de, p-scene. e,csosed in a frame, has bees
finished, which extends fr.xn one side wall to the
other of the Theatre, At that d•pth of cue whisla

this valuable improvement, the intenintu pencil of
Greenwood has been enspl iyed on the Canvas, in
which he has dis?laye.l great ingenuity in the ma-
nagetnent of thitscrie; 1.. r, with the addition of a
few pieces, it veill alternately represent a distant and
sober landscape, enriched by exquisite ice, cry and
of Admirable perspratve, or it will, when necessity
requires, display a raging sea, a rocky shore, and
tempestuous sky. The scene is so ma/aged as to
be cu sservient to any part of the drama exhibiting.
and will, from its novcity, ingenuity, and the et.
cellence of the painting, dem Ind the praise of the
amateur, an I excite the admir..•i m of the public.
A new smite of apartnunte has been attached to
the Treasury, for the purp•we of trantiaing •he
blioness of that department. of the Theatre, but
which have n's conne:tio.• wit:, the entrance at the
stage do sr. This is an admi -ble improvement ; as
mtny idle people. who pri ten led to have business
with the Treasury, obtained adiliittance, but who
had n toing further in view, than to lounge behind
the scenes. said interrupt the perfumers in the
Green-room.
The whole of the arrangements are calculated to
resider great benefit to this popu'at concern. The
scene-painters are hu,.ily empl yet in painting
scenes for a succeisiou of new pieces, whicn have
been accepted and approved by the Managers.
The sage management will bounder the diredion
of Nis. Wroughtoo, and the swum* season is en-
petted to be the must produaive that has occurred
fur years.
A dreadful storm of thunder, lightning, and rain.
came on yesterday morning at six o'clock, and cois
tinned until half past seven.
A gentleman who has lately advertised in the
public prints for a partner for life, states, as a nee
/164 Min, that “ She must be possessed of 1,0001.
otherwise she will not be regarded." If the favours
of Fortune are so necessary to domestic liappiisems
it is no longer a matter of surprise, thaethe married
as well as the single should be so eager in courting
her adventitious assistance in the 1411 Lottery so be-
gin drawing this month, which allords ample emcees
of advancing the social intercourse, where ewe
money forms the basis of studio's.
On Tuesday, as the baggage,waggons of the
First Guards vette coming down boughton-hil on
their way to Chatham. one of them stopped ant
the bottom of the hill to take up some of the sol•
diers wives ; while this was doing, the driver of
the waggon that was nest in the rear, urged his
horses forward to get the lead, which being per-
ceived b 7 the other, he immediately began driving
his horses in rilurious manner down the hill, and
tanning the wheels over a bank. threw over the
waggon, and dashed women; children. and luggage,
with pmnfintions violence, into the load : o,se wo-
man had 'lei arm broken. two others were severely
hurt : as also wet* two chfishen, the hie of ewe of
wheat is despaited of.
