ROYAL PA MIL r.
WV/MONTH, seer. 17.
Yesterttly, after dinner, the KING, the Prue-
cessses, and the R oval. Duicei, walked on the
Esplanade.—They were accompanied by the Earls
of WINCLIELSFA and CNIISTRRVIti DI Lord HAN.,
Rower, Coantess of CHESTER F)r.Ln, Lady Bu u.at-
Lev, Cener:4l6 M A timmon•ti, and F; rz•
sh.v, Colonels TAYLOR' Caatesetz, and Siew-
Ihe Esplanade was very much crowded.
At seven o'clock, the Roves. FAMILY went to the
Theatre, to honour Mr. SANDFORD'S benefit night
with their presence. Among the novelties of the
evening's performance, was the Farce of Loren'
Quarr.ll,repeated, for the fourth time, by command
of Their M A./ IjST les, by Mr Dawsos's children. ft
is almost unnecessary to give a greater proof of
their merit, than the very particular attention which
they have been honoured with from their Royal
Auditors, who apxared ai highly entertained, as
on the first night df their performance before them.
This morning, befor s.-ven o'clock, His MAJESTY
was on horseback, and returned a quarter before
nine. After breakfast, he went on hoard the Royal
Yacht, to take his favottri e amusement of a cruise
at sea. Every vizsel that couid be procured was
engaged to accompany the Royal Yacht. Such
numbers went, that the town appeared quite thinnni
in consetrence. They set with a charming
breeze, and the day being remat kably fine, they had
a most delightful elle& from the shore.
Early this morning, the Duke of CAMORLDOL
and Princess MARY bathed.
Yesterday afternoon, the Poarunuzsz
AxtAs-
sADoa arrived here ; and, in a short time after,
visited the Duke of ;Sussex ; who, we are sorry to
say, is confined to die house, being slightly indis-
posed.

THURSDAY,SEIPTeMifft 19.

At a late hour last night, we received, by Es, Ness,
a set of German Papers of a late doe, we believe,
'tacsusrr cs. We have extraaed from them the
st ire and annual expense tit the Russian army, and
the state and distribution of the army of France.
These two articles are drawn up from official
documents, and will he read with great inte-
rest at this particular crisis. The Russian army
amounts to 508,230 men ; the French to 593,588,
e=lusive of the National Guards, and the new
armies of Italy. How dreadful must be the shock,
when such enormous masses come in collision ?
And yet these constitute only a part of the ins-
tome armies now preparing to take the field.

We have received, in common with our con.
temporaries, Paris papers to the 10th, and Dutch
papers to the 12th instant. Upon the great quest.
Sion of the probability of a continental war, which
sow fixes the atte-tion of Europe, they afford
very little light. We have known, for some time,
'that two great armies have been approaching each
other; the one destined to aft in Germany, the other
in Italy. The marching of troops in these directions,
occupies a large portion of these papers ; and, as
these movements are only what might have been
anticipved, their interest is considerably diminished.
But this is not all. Those very papers, which an-
nounce these warlike appearances, declare, that the
Court of Vienna manifests a de-ire to enter into ne-
gotiations for peace. They bl.rw hot and cold. Certain•
ly they do not bring us so near to admit hostilities as
they taught us to espett. Upon reference to the
Hamhurgh Mails, of the contents of which we
yesterday gave the substance, we find, that the re-
port of the evacuation of Hanover by the French
troops, announced by an Evening Print, as " Go-
vernment Information," is unfounded. We have
also oi-covered the source of this " Government In-
formation." in an article dated Luneburg, the 31st
August, which states the departure of the troops
for the Rhine. The troops stationed at Lune-
burg an 1 Haarbourgh certainly did march away
but their place was supplied by others, and the num-
ber of camps in Hanover was greatly increased. VA•
tious other reports have been rut in circulation.
Some state, that hostilities have commenced in Italy,
and that the French hale been repulsed ; others, that
the Austrians have penetrated into Bavaria, and that
the French have crossed the Rhnie at Coblents. Dur
Readers must see that these ars mere speculations.
The French Funds are .54 and a fraftion.
