PROMENADES.

The Parks ar.d Kensington Gardens yesterday
displayed a more than usual number of, elegant
women. Pink, blue, and nankeen coloured silk
spencets were much worn. with Spanish hats, fea-
thers, and flowers. The reap d'wil was the most
interesting that can be convived. It suggested the
idea of the Paradise of Mahomet ; but while the
eye beheld such groupes of beauty with admira-
tion, the heart could not withhold a sigh upon the
painful recolleetion that' the Loves and the Graces
fly with rapid wing. Youth and beauty shine but
for a moment upon the theatre of society, and
disappear." A foreign lady of distinelins, dressed
in white. trimmed with lilac and silver, was the
superlative gaze of the day. Her dress was
elegant, but in grace and loveliness she rivalled
the Visas de Medici benelf. The Countess
of 11a111111MOTON, and her charming family,
were in the numerous list of fashionable prome-
naders. The equestrians were, in general, mounted
upon the genuine breed of Prg.issu, an.l Ed pis; and
the half crown a-side panty; which so often disgrace
Rotten-row, made but a thin appearance. In the
perpetual grind of carriages rolling alotig the sandy
tine, were those of the Tuattsm ilateassa Do:, Earl
Segues', Sm.

vIrsNA, APRIL 115.

The answer of our Court to the demand of the
French Ambassauor, that certain persons shall be
delivered up, is full of moderation, wisdom, and
justice. It is said, " that every person residing in
the imperial dominions is to be regardel as a sub-
jea ; and when crimes are proved againir him, that
he shall be punished according to the laws of the
empire." Hitherto, however, nothing leas been
proved by France which can inculpate a single in-
dividual in the Austrian territory.

‘vETzt..Alt, APRIL 2g.

In the periodical work, called the Miroir hr
Fri ire, is the following observation concerning the
connedions of different States: " The Ger-
man Empire, Austria and Prussia, are without any
treaty of alliance at all. Russia has had a treaty with
Denmark since 1765, and with Sweden since 1799.
France has treaties of alliances with Spain, Holland,
Switzerland, and the Italian Republic. England
has a treaty with Portugal. The United States of
America have no alliance with any state whatever.
By this is seen that except France, all other states
are isolated from most other nations."

DUBLIN MAy 15.

A newly-e,.nstrueed vessel has taken her station
on the Bar of Dublin, which, it is expeeted, will be
of great use in clearing away some of the sand there,
and, of course, deepening the entrance of the har-
bour. She is very small, but draws a great depth
of water ; and is built strong enough to bear the
heaviest sea. There is a strong p:.2ce of timber Ss:-
cured to her bends, on each side ; through each of
which are three holes for the reception of as many
poles or spars of considerable length, to the en.is of
which are fastened large cylindric pieces of timber,
armed with long iron spikes. As soon as the tide be.
gins to ebb, these poles are shipped in the racks at
each side, and, from their weight, continue the
same degree of pressure on the bottom, during the
ebbing of the, tide. The sand, which is loosened
by the rollers at every -ing of the vessel, is imme-
diately carried of by the current into u...•per water.
Two or time men remain constantly on board of
her, to regulate the management of tie poles, and
haul them up when the tide beg'ns to return. She
has been only a few days on the Bar, and the expe-
riment has succeeded beyond the must sanguine ex-
peetations.

HEATH, NEAR IPSWICH.

r -

Lieutenant-General Sir James Craig, K.B. and
his whole Staff, arrived at Ipswich, yesterday se'n-
night, from Colchester, to review the Garrisons of
that place, and Woodbridge. On Monday, he. be-
gan by reviewing Major-General Lord Charles •
Fitsroy's Brigade, consisting of the Hants, North-
York, ast-Suffulk regiments of militia—and
immediii*Eafter, on the same morning, he review-
ed Major-General Baird's Brigade, consisting of the
Royal South Lincoln and Westminster-Middlesex
Regiments of Militia. On Tuesday, he reviewed
Ntapr-General Lord Paget's Brigade of horse, con-
sisting of the First, or Royal Dragoons, and the 7th
and 9th Light Dragoons--and, immediately after
them, Major-Gen. Smith's Brigade, horn Wood-
bridge, consisting of the Ist and 3d Lancashire Re-
giments of Militia, and two companies of the 95th
or Rifle Regiment. The whole of the above he re-
viewed on kusbnicre Heath.

On Wednesday, the whole of the troops of Ips-
wich and Woodbridge, met for a pradising day,,
and v. ere in the field from nine o'clock in the morn.
ing, till six in the evening.
Thursday, the whole of the troops of both garri-
sons were brigaded together, and had a grand field-
day. Major-General Smith's Brigade marched
from. Wood' :Nee, at half-past seven in the morn-
ing, to ftushmere-Heath, about two miles from
Ipswich, where they met the troops from that town.
The cavalry, consisting of the Royal Dragoons,
and 7th and 9th Light Dragoons, under the com-
mand of Lord Paget, with the Horse Artillery,
were drawn up on each side of a defile, leading on
to Faxhall.Heath. The infantry were then drawn
up in line. The center, consisting of the Ist and
Sd Royal Lancashire Regiments, under the corn-
m oni of '‘lajor-Geiteral Smith—the right, of the
Royal South Lincoln and Westminster Regiments,
under the command of Major-Gen. Band—and the
left, of the I lertfordshire, North.Yerk, and East-
Suffolk Regiments, under the command of Major-
Geaeral Lord Charles Fitzroy, and two companies
tEe 95th, or Riflemen, two companies of the
North-York Riflemen, and the Rangers, under com-
mand of Major Steward, of the 9ath, flanked the'
left of the whole. The enemy having been supposed
to be in possession of Woodbridge, and were making
flair way to Ipswich—the right cf our army being
defended by the river---the enemy, therefore, could
only attack our centre or left. The Cavalry, with
the Horse Artillery, first passed the defile, making
their way towards Woodbridge to meet the enemy.
The line then broke off into columns of battalions to
pass the defile. The Riflemen haring first lined
every hedge, and gained possession of ail the
heights, to prevent the column being attacked by
an ambuscade; the army passed the defile, and ad-
vanced over Fexall-Heath, proteded in its front by
cavalry, and its left by the Riflemen. As- -soon as
they had arrived upon Mardesham Heeth, the Ca-
valry,
&c. were supposed to have fallen in with the
enemy coming to attack our 1... ft, and immediately
engaged them. The army then formed line to pro-
test the cavalry, which were at last obliged to fall
hack round the right flank. The line then began a
fire of artillery upon the enemy, which obliged them
to change their intention and try to gain the right.
The line changed their front by advancing in easel.
lot; of battalions, and again forming, advanced
upon the enemy. When, the cavalry meeting a
very superior force of the enemy, after an engage-
ment, were again driven in rowed the tight flank.
An army then advanced by successive battalions
supporting each other, when, after an engagement,
the enemy came up in such force as obliged us to
retire in the same manner we had advanced, being
covered in their retreat by the riflemen. After re-
treating some way, the army halted and formed
themselves into three squares, when the riflemen
were beaten into the squares, which immediately
began a very heavy fire upon the enemy, who were
checked, the squares having again retired some way
broke off into columes, being proteded ontheir left by
the riflemen, who were frequently engaged with Inc
enemy's skirmishers. Our army again formed
into two lines retiring and supporting each other,
being covered by tl.e horse. We again passed the
defile to Rushmere Heath, disputing every inch of
ground; and the rear of the whole army was :ast cn-
vered by the riflemen, who kept up a censtant fire till
they got to the defile, which, as soon as they had
entered, they were covered by a constant file of
heavy artillery and infantry.
The whole was uncommonly grand, and sheaved
good generalship in the commanding officeis, and
uncommon steadiness and alertness in the men,
who were under arms above twelve hours, and in
cJllstant aCtion.

A geatlernan in the town to which we allude, in.
sited an Aelnr and his friend to sup with /I'm,
and after the g.ass had circulated sum,: time, the •t:t. r
was desirous of returning home, otisereisg, that it he
did not, his candle would be burned out; and as his
wife had retired to bed by his express desire, if he
drank much more he should not be able to find his
way to the bed-chamber ; at the same time he
added, that fearful of his staying out late, he had
ordered the door to be put to, but not locked, tha: he
might make no noise as he entered. Some time
after one of the company made an excuse to leave
the room, and having succeeded in locking the aftor
and his company in, repaired immediately to the
lady, who had previously been the subject of con-
versation. He found the door as before described,
and by some fatality in the lady's proteaing angels.
supplied the place of her absent husband. The ado?,
finding himself a prisoner, after fini.laing the bot-
