The blood of the Hou linos has not been shed in
vain.—Princes who quietly looked on while nations
were insulted, plundered, and depopulated, now
begin to bestir themselves, and to resent the foul

and atrocious murder of the Duke of ENCH

Two Hamburgh Mails arrived yesterday, with pa-
pers of the 12th inst. from which it appears that a
Cana Mourning has been officially announced at

St. Petersburg}► for seven days, in consequence of
that horrid event.--Cburt etiquette requires from

nation of his guilty Master, or shut himself up for
seven days from the public eye.—Citizen Macias,
another French emissary, is in the same predica
ment at Carlsruhe, as the King of Sw..nss has or-
derv,' a C mrt Mourning upon e-e same melancholy
occasion for eight days —Even at Berlin, the ca-

pital of a Prince who has proved himself ready to
flatter and accommodate the infamous despot of
France, the Russian Minister, and all Russian sub-
jects, have issen perinitted to follow tie example of
their countrymen at home, and to put .m mourning
fur the murdered Prince.—These c n-eq•r-nee; of

square. Then was a circle of persons of fashion,
of vast extent, permitied to come withia the lines ;
but even that kept by troops, both cavalry and
font. Outside cf that, but a an immense distance,
was the main body of the reg'sments. The cavalry
and toot that kept the exterior line (for it will be
seen there were several lines) were next. Beyond
the e, the spe.9ators were est.:l:dee!, in a manner
we believe to be unes:ampled, successive chiles of
persons on font, on horseback, and in carriages, or
on the carriages, and on ever; part, like a cluster
of bs:ss, and in and on the adjacent houses and
windmills.
The ceremony of presenting the colours, the ob-
jeelt cf all the labour and wishes of 'the day, and
which (after all) is worthy of more than the most
refined pageantry can claim, the ceremony of pre-
senting the colours was performed in a manner be-
coming the great occasion. The colours were con-
secrated on the ground ; and then presented by
the Lord Mayor to the Ensigns of each company.
These carried them to the detachment of grenadiers,
who received them with presented arms, the band of
the regiment (which had attended the detachment)
playing God Save the King. The grenadiers then
escorted the colours to their respeaive reginients ;
which received them with presented arms, the bands
playing along the whole line, God Sere the Kiser.
Each regiment, as the colours approached, took off
their hats or caps, and gave a universal and loud
huzza. • _ _ _ _

The whole of the line then fired three times by
regiments; after which the several regiments march-
ed past the General, saluting as they passed. This
concliided the day on the ground, to the entire sa-
tisfa&on of the largest assemblage of speCtators we
ever heheld.
The regiments halted en the Hill (at the Green
Mar, &c.) to uke some refreshment. They then
marched to town, and most of the corps dined in
separate parties, at various taverns.
The vilole of this does honour to every persoticon-
eerned in it ; and every British heart will exult in a
scene of such splendour to his country. The sight
was at once brilliant, and fraught with moral con-
sequences, which we deem as great and as valu-
able as can belong to the human race. These were
happily touched upon, both in the delivery of the
colours to the regiments, and in the answers given
by Colonel Anderdon of the London Cavalry, and
Colonel Birch of the lst Regiment, in behalf of
the foot regiments.
The interest which the public felt in this great
scene may be expressed, in a slight degree, by
stating, that while it passed at Blackheath, the
town seemed to be emptied ; the Courts of Justice
were unattended ; the streets appeared almost de-
serted.
We are happy to add to all this, that no one acci-
dent disturbed the day. Of that immense crowd at
Blackheath, notwithstanding the great-quantity of
horses and carriages, it must be said it was perfedly
orderly. We do not know that we ever saw a great
occasion so free from partial blots.

GENERAL FAST.

. •
The solemnity, which yesterday pervaded the me-
tropolis and its environs, was such as suited the
moral obligation individuals were caned upon to
perform. "lhe sober silence of the streets was
only interruptcd by the bell of the parish churches,
calling tile inhabitants to prayers. The pause pro-
duced by a suspension of the busy round of trade
and shut up shops was, however, lessened by the
early,appearatice of Volunteers gaily dressed in their
uniforms, who, pursuant to orders, proceided in all
directions to their respeaive churches, wtich were
numerously attended. and displayed Anefulgrandeur.
St. Paul's, by half-past nine o'clock, vials attended
by the privates and officers of the Artillery Com.
pany, the Sheriffs, most of the Aldermen of London,
and persons of respeeability residing in the neigh-
bourhood ; but the Lord Mayor was not present, be-
ing prevented by indisposition. An excellent sermon
was preached by the Rev. Mr. Peanut°, Chaplain to
the LORD MAYOR, and the service concluded at half
after eleven. At St. Margaret's, Westminster, many
Members of the Mouse of Commons, and the Va-
lunteers, were highly gratified in attending to the
discourse of the Rev. Mr. JAC?.SON.—The Prince
of Wales's Corps mustered nearly their whole 1:4•ct:
at St. Martin's Church, where Dr. HAMILtOt4
preached a beautiful sermon, lom the 2d Chapter
of Eater EL, and Gth Verse, " Fever ye hot, bat bear
year forebead4 to them, ar: a nJellsour crew."
This text applied to the profligacy and turbulence of
our implacable enemies, whose injustice and ambi-
tion had produced the evils arising from war, and
it was inferred, if crimes should for a time
go unpunished, yet a day of retribution must
c,,me, and divine vengeance would pursue the
guilty. The new form of prayer used upon this
occasion appeased to be fervently attended to, and
gratitude tilled the bosoms of the different congre-
gations towards the IDIYINU BEING, for His MA-
JESTY'S restoration to health. ht short, a general
sense of morality and loyalty was every where con-
spicuous. Many of the Volunteers, after the after-
noon service, proceeded to their drill gr. unds,
where they devoted the remainder of the day to
improvement. To discriminate particular corps,
or persons who performed so solemn a duty, would
be invidious.

The Public will rejoice at the favourable altera.
don which was made in the Perm of Prayer. We
allude to the different state in which His NI AJ /ST T'S
health is represented in the different Editions.

STAMP DU TIF.S.

Mr. PITT moved the Order of the Day, for the
Douse to resolve itself into a Committee of the whole
House, on the Stamp Duty Bill.
Mr. Si IF.R IDAN said, he wished to ask a ques-
tion of the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite to him,
briore the Speaker left the chair. %%hat he was de-
sirous to be informed of was, whether this Bill
would *dually repeal the other Stamp Duties Ac-
c.nitub ? If it did, there was an article in the sche-
dule. which would materially affeß the Proprietors
At Newspapers, and which, he conceived, must be
owing ti, a mistake entirely. Under the old duties,
there was a discount allowed to Newspapers of 161.
18s. and in the present schedule, the discount
'toad at only 161. which, if allowed to stand, without
amendments, would suhjed the Newspapers to an
additional tag of 18s.

Mr. PIT said, he apprehended the allowances
were made from the Excise Office ; and though the
Alt, so far ai related to the duties, were repealed,
yet the allowances, having once been made, would
he continued. I: certainly wa, not the intention of
Government to make any alteration in the discount;
and if any farther provision should be found neces-
sary, in order to ascertain this point, it should be

The House then went into the Committee. Mr.
Ai LIANDILI in the Chair.

On the Clause imposing an additional 9d. a
►heet on all law proceedings;
Mr. Serjeant But, Dr. LAURTSCI, and Mr.
Fostatamtvz objeaed to it, and a long eouversa-
tinn to-k place between them and Mr. PITT, Mr.
Hesaissox and others.

On a Division the numbers were, Ayes for the
Clause, 43 ; against it, 10—nsajority, 33.

The remaining part of the Bill having been di,.
cussed, the amendments were agreed to, and the
Report ordered to be received to-morrow.
The other orders of the day were postponed.
Adjourned at half past eleven.

TILE BRITISH PRESS.
London, England, 1804-07-14

Ur. DAWSON said, he must enter his protest
not only against the Bill itself, but the manner in
which it was brought forward ; at a time when
there were so few Members from Ireland in the
House; at the very heel of the Session, when most
of the Irish Members. not espelting any thing of
the kind, had gone home to their own country for
the session. The only advantage the Irish had got
by the Union, WAS, that wnich was now about to
be taken a*ay. The Parliament was about to fetter
the At of Union, Ana to repeal the best part of it,
without any of the Irish Members being there to
defend it.

Mr. ALEXANDER said, he could not avoid
noticing what fell from the Hon. Gentleman, who
h id just sat down,with respell to Members front Ire-
land. He contended, that there was at that mo-
ment a much larger proportion of Irish Representa-
tives, than any other in the House and these were
Gentlemen of intelligent and enlightened minds,
who had paid great attention to all business relating
to Ireland. This faa, he thought it necessary to as-
sert, in order to obviate the mischief which might
be occasioned in Ireland, if the statement of the
Hon. Gentleman should go there uncontradiaed.
If it was the Hon. Gentleman's intention to make
himself popular in Ireland, by opposing this Bill, it
was the duty of every Irish Mernoer to deliver his
sentiments upon it. The Corn Bill recently sent up
to the Lords, was a proof that the Parliament did
not wish to eprive Ireland of an. advantaws. Hut
what injury did this Bill do to Ireland ? None. The
distillers had invested their capitals long before the
expirtarion of their M.tnuiat'ire was allow .d, or
thou.tht of : and-this Bill only went to regulate the
duties to be paid on spirits when brought to this
country. _ _

.After sonic observations from Colonel Lona-
surto, "IT. Firzerasi o. aid Mr. CARR, the Bill
was read a second time, and ordered to be commit-
ted on Monday.
ihe Committee on the Irish Revenue Regulation
Bill wic deterred to Monday.
A Message from the Lords informed the House,
that their Lordscips had agreed to the Irish Addi-
tion r..e Hill ; the Weeders. Beck Lands Bill ;
the Chatlism l..nds Bill, and Lady Kilwarden's
Annuity Bill, wi.hout any Amendments.
Mr. JOE I S VON:. said, it was his intention to
have submitted to the consideration of the House
certain Resolutions! respelling the Finances, accord-
ing to the notice be had given. He thought, how-
ever, it would be better to bring them forward to-
morrow, merely that mightthey) be printed, and
of ter the Members of the had a fair opportu-
nity to consider them, if they should be deemed de-
serving any discussion be would propose it to be
brought forward on Thursday next.
The Lottery Bill was read a third time and
passed.

DUTCH PArERS.

Phltts, JULY 4.

The Official Journal has to day inserted an article
in reprehension of one of our most esteemed daily
papers, the Pithheiste, at the same time that it pro-
fesses to consider its F.:, as a min cif sense, and
the persons interested in it as respeftabie people.
"these articles in it, which are seketed and contra-
di&N.l in the Offizial Paper, are stated to be the
tiaions of German Journals, in►erted by the pro-
cmement of English Agents; they are tte. fol-
lowing

" That great changes are expected to take
place in Italy ; that the Papal States ssiil undergo
a partition, in which Cardinal Fesh will take a part ;
that the King of Naples will retire to Sicily, anp
that the Minister of State, Afton, whom he
had dismissed from his Clurt, was upon the point of
being restored by the ihtlacnce of a great power.
" That the NZ : someltionths ago had inserted
an article stating, that a tteaty bad beer. concluded
between the Ottomar, Porte, in which the Moil:4 was
ccded to Friace ; the consevence o! which was.
that tLe r.ench Arnbassadnr at Conn.: ainople,

of State of the Sublime Porte, to
papers had been carefully commaau
tLem to him, and told him, that wha
relative to the Nlorra, had oce.isic!.:d a saspikion,
that Fiance intended to seize that country.
" That the Court of Vienna, some months age,
from aim was coatained the ! tench l'aprrb,
thought that Franc:: was Zoout to send 60,0. 3 me.:
into Italy ; and France, had site believed in the
German Gazettts, rr.;..p:t have believed that the
Court of Vienna wa, se tath:g 60,000 men into Swabia.
When, however, inquiries were made to discover
the sor.rce of these i eports ; it Was cOUIId that the
German Journals had inserted them from
script communicati:ins received fro. ,
the French Journals from conit.-a,t,icat;,.e. I. •P.

The Emperor of Austria has sent Major-General

Many doubt, however, whether this invitation will

A case occurred here oil Twsday night, which
should be a cantina to the Irene wolent how they hr.
stow their, gifts, before it is ascertained that the ob.
jeds are worthy.
Mr. Neale, an eminent surgeon in the neigh-
bourhood of Soho-square. was applied to, several
years since, for pecuniary assistance, by an old wo-
man, who represented herself to have nurser' him in
his infancy, and related many circumstances repeel-
bis family in Ireland. which induced him to cre-
dit her well-fabricateditale, and, possessing great phi-
lanthrophy. relieved her pretended Clin.re-ses in the
mitt liberal manner; appointing an agent to pay her
a certain yearly allowance. which WAS continued
to her, until neatly the present period ; wires), hav-
ing reason to sus,wa the whole of her story to
false. from her having circulated reports in the
neighbourhood that she was his mother, and, what
was before couched in terms of supplication, being
changed into demand, not only by herself. but also
by her daughter. and an Irish vagabond her hus-
band. he resolved to resist all further demands ; and
On Tuesday evening, when the old woman and her
S3ll in law came to repeat their extorri •n, they
were talcin into custody by Carpmeal, one of the

mined before Nit. flurries, who threatened to

Rtssts.'s benefit is firm? for to-morrow night, and
expected to prove a bumper. Dicusuris is to assist
ith some favourite airs. Pray, how did the Society
! T the Suppression of Vice come to favour us with
rtl:ir notice ? Their late manifesto against Ku-
•ltrerades has alarmed us more here than Bois a-

uf not extinguish, the masquerading mania in this
quarter. Yesterday I went to see Mr. BENTLEY
make his experiment upon the water, in an ipso&
fiergible machine of his own constotaion. He

he stands in the water, they expand. Thus

a child in a go cast. He assured the speCtators,
that he would he able to walk over to Ostend, and
uld not hesitate to undertake this aquatic walk,

French troops mean to march over the Channel
io this way? FIT my own part, I think it very
prasiicable, from what 1 saw of Mr. BENTLEY.

to witness this curious experiment, and several

This is proved by his owl and the captain's &ctn.

eqaipage. The second mate, though a native of
England, has been iu the setvi.:e of the United

continue in 11,.r mail her return to that place
" Had this sailor been put on hoard the ship Three

could have no objeffions to your taking him out :
but as he regularly entered on board in the United
