LONDON,
SATURDAY, Nov Egezit 21.

A private letter from the Hague, of the 15th inst.
states, that Genetal MARMONT, at Amsterdam, and
General ROUSSEAU, at Rotterdam, have bad several
conferences with the principal Bankers and Mer-
chants in those two cities. The objea of these con-
ferences has been to obtain a loan of ten millions of
florins, at Amsterdam, and five millions of florins
at Rotterdam, fur the ENIPE3OR of the FIENCII,
who, in return, promises to r..cal, not his army of
soldiers, but his brigade of Custom house Officers,
from the Bataviais Republic, and to permit the
citizens to continue their commercial intercourse
with England, through the medium of neutrals, as
since the beginning of the present war. For
these sums, amounting to nearly 1,400,0001., Bo-
is sr Aarz oilers, as a pledge, the silver mines, the
salt works, abd the Eleaoral palaces, domains, and
forests of Hanover ; with an interest of six per cent.
When the letter went away, the issue of this mili-
tary-political and financial negnciation between the
Emperor of one nation, and the subjeas of another
Government, his Ally, was not known; but SCIIIN-
MELPLIIMINCK, who was then at the Hague, had
receivsd a Courier from General Ma amour, and
intended to set out for Amsterdam, no doubt to
back the intrigues of this General.

In addition to this information, and to what
we stated yesterday, concerning the disappoint-
ment which the capture of the Spanish treasury
ships has caused in France to Bon A AAAAA and his
accomplices, we can add, from the autho-
rity of our Hague correspondent, that such is the
want of money in the mock Emperor's treasury,
that even the pay of the army of England is three
months in arrears, and some of the interest due to
the State creditors has not been paid since the
second trimester, Year XI. January and April
1803, whilst others, and tho,e rust favoured, have
obtained the interest due in the lira trimester,
Year XII. or &member and December 1819. This
last is confirmed by the French Papers of toe Ilth
and 12th inst. They complain loudly in Holland,
as well as in ,Germany, of B HlA►ARYLhaving
ordered deputations, Prince; and Ambassadors to
Paris, to be present at his coronation on the 9th
November, when he knew that such an event would
not tale place so soon. The expence of all these
persons in France is very great, and draws much

POLICE.

Last night a man WAS brought to the Public
Office. Bow-street, and underwent an exeninAtion
b.:fore Mr. BOND and Sir Whs. PARS as, on
a charge of throwing a tin kettle at Mr. Main.
Waring as he v. s passing through Knightsbrige on
his wp• from I:rentford.

It appeared that when the kettle was thrown,
Mr. Mainwatiog, and two Gentlemen who were
within his carriage, jumped out and seised the
Prisoner, having observed him throw the kettle. and
gave him int 3 the custody of two of the Bow-
street patro!e.
The Prison• was comm;tted for want of sureties.

TWO 11.1:11 were brought in custody of several of
the patrole, who charged them with behaving in a
riotous manner in Piccadilly, yesterday evening,
and assaulting some gentlemen who were passing in
a carriage, and whom they supposed to nee friends of
Mr. Mainwaring. The Prisoners were ordered to
find hail.

Another man was charged with violently assault-
ing and wounding a constable on Monday. in the
execution of his office. The wounds given being
deemed by a ,urgeon to endanger his life, Mr. Boa D
retuseu to admit hint to bail.

SAILING MITC!I.

The sailing match at Leith, under the patronage
of the Duke of Buecleugh, the Earl of D./Ikea:la, Sir
James St. Clair Erskine, &c. took place on the
:.sth, and the day was extremely favourable for
it ; it blew a fine steady breeze from the eastward.
Seven boats started, two belonging to Newhaven,
and the other five to Fasherrow, and the fishing
towns to the eastward.—None were allowed to com-
pete for the prize (which, at the desire of the fisher-
men, was coaverted into money), but such as had
volunteered their boats, and theirfown personal ser-
vices, in aid of the flotilla for the defence of the
coast.

At half past one o'clock, the seven boats started
from the end of the Pier of Leith, and proceeded to
sail round the Red Buoy on Craig Waugh, a sunk
sock in Fisherrow Bay, nearly abreast of Pres-
tonpans.
The wind being direltly a head, the first stretch
they made carried them close in with Inchkeith ; she
following tack they stood well into Fisherrnw Bay,
and it was not until they had made a pretty lorg
board to the northward and eastward, and again
tacked with their beads towards the south shore,

that the first boat succeeded in weathering the buoy ,
when she immediately bore ap before the wind, for
the boat stationed of the harbour of Leith, which
was the winning post.
She was followed by the second at less than a
quarter of a mile astern, which distance was consi-
derably decreased before they came in.
All the others were a good way behind, and the
boat which won, evidently gained the price by her
superiority in keeping so well to windward, in all
the different tacks, as the second boat rather gained
upon her when they came to go at large, ttnd were
returning before the wind.
The Duke of Buccleugh, Lord Dalkeith, Sir
James St. Clair Erskine, &c. were in Admiral Vas-
hon's barge, accompanied by the Admiral himself,
Captains Milne, Nash, and Brodie, of the Royal
Navy. A great number of pleasure boats were also
out. which heightened the beauty of the scene.
The race was not over till a quarter past four
o'clock, when the prize of thirty guineas was imme-
diately paid to the first hoat, which beloilvd to Fish-
errow ; and five guineas were given to the second,
which belonged to Newhaven.
The whole was under the direction of Captain
Milne of the Royal Navy, and afforded much plea-
sure to those interested.

CORHEATII REVIEW.

Monday morning, at seven o'clock, the line being
formed, four pieces of heavy ordnance were placed
on the right wing with the York and Maidstone
Rifle Companies and the Horse Artillery. The first
Guards took the right of the line, second the Cold-
stream, third the West Norfolk, fourth the Royal
Bucks, fifth the East Norfolk, sixth the Ist West
York, seventh the 3d West York, eighth the Maid-
stone Volunteers, ninth the 23d Regiment, tenth the
Cavalry from the Depot, and Capt. Turner's Troop
of Yeomanry; the whole under the command of Lieut.
General the Earl of Chatham, with Major-Generals
Finch, Lord Southampton, and Baird, under him.
At eight o'clock, Lieutenant General Sir David
Dundas, commander of this distrift, arrived on the
ground, and taking his station to the right of the
whole, with the above General Officers and their
Aid de-Camps, also Mr. Pitt and many other
Military Gentlemen, waited the arrival of the
Commander in Chief, His Royal Highness the
Duke of York, who joined them at nine o'clock
and with the whole train proceeded down the
line. This being over, the whole army extended
across the Heath, and marched to the right of it:
in the interval of this movement, the Light In-
fantry Companies from the different regiments,
enelarling to the right of all, formed in rear of the
Great Guns and. Rifle Corps, and unitedly became a
clistind and adverse body, with whom the three
brigades of the line had to encounter, which, in ap-
proaching, were soon engaged ; but the main body.
supported by their battalion guns and a part of the
Hoese Artillery, compelled them to retire nearly
two miles, and to take refuge in different thick-
nesses and enclosures contiguous to West Farleigh
Green, from which they could not be dislodged,
in turn made a feint retreat, in course of whrch,
several stands were made, still to decoy the elemy
upon the open part of the Heath, which being ac-
complished, an irregular fire opened the extent of
the whole line, supported by the II) ing artillery,
from which the enemy was discomfited, and com-
pelled to take refuge behind his guns ; the Carat; y,
at the instant, made a charge, and the whole were
surrounded. The different battalions, on their re-
turn into camp, then passed in review before His
Royal Highness, commencing with the left of the
line—the Maidstone Volunteers were the first, the
other regiments followed in succession, which con-
cluded the whole. he fineness of the day drew
together a multitude of gentry and other spriiators
from all quarters, who were highly gratified with
the grandeur and military display they had seen.

MANSION-11UUSE.

Yesterday the following curious ease came be-
fore the LORD MAYOR

A young woman, who had not been above three
months married, was charged by her husband with
assaulting him. Being persons of genteel appear-
ance, and some credit, his Lordship heard both
stories with great patience. The young man com-
plained, that in consequence of his wale's not suls.
misting to be confined to home as he pleased, his
life was made very unhappy ; that she cause of the
present quarrel arose from his refusing to let her go
to Peckham Fair ; a place he highly disapproved
of: however, the matter wa., as he ilrilight, ami-
cably adjusted, and they went to bed to perfett
love and harmony—but she fair paw's retentment
did not end here, for, suddenly starting up in the
night, she tore his shirt in pieces, scratched hit legs.

REVIEW.

1307211, AUG. 22.
Yesterday, about six o'clock p. fa. His Royal High-
ness the Duke of York arrived here on horseback,
from Barham Downs camp, where he had been re-
viewing the troops; he alit!llted at Wright's Ho-
tel and Ship inn. where he dined with Generals
pandas, Monte, Nlanningham, Hope, and several
other General And Field Officers. This morning he
proceeded to review the troops here, and inspea the
Castle and works at the heights; the Dover com-
panies of the Ist battalion of Cinque Port Volunteers
assembled at their usual place of parade, at seven
o'clock in the morning, and marched to the North
IVall Meadow, at the back of the Castle, where the
other troops assembled also, consisting of a detach-
ment of the Royal Staff and Artillery Corps, the
Orford Militia, Leicester, Middlesex, and Surrey
ditto, the Volunteers, who mustered very strong,
the whole bet ween three and four thousand men.
The Duke came into the field about eleven o'clock,
when the line, at open order, presented arms, the
dif.z.:ent bands struck up, " God Save t4e Kist :"
after which the ranks were closed, the troops formed
open columns, and marched round both in ordinary
and quick tame, in a very steady and snldier.like
manner. When the troops had come upon their
original ground they wheeled into line and saluted ;
after which the Duke quiued the field to view the
works at the Castle : the troops then formed a en-
lum of subdivisions, and marched home. The
field was too small to admit of any of their usual
mancetivres being performed, and WAS crowded
with all the fashion and beauty of Dover and its
environs. The Duke, after taking part of a cold cola-
don, set off for Sandgate, and to-morrow reviews
the troops at Brabent lees and Shorn Cliff.

The Pi ince De Conde, the Duke of Orleans, and
another of the French Princes, are very soon ex-
pelled at Riga, to which, it is said, two k.nglish fri.
gates are to convoy them ; they will proceed from
thence to some convenient place in the Russian do-
minions, to meet Louis XVIII. ; leave having been
given by the Emperor of Russia for that purpose;
their Avant Couriers passed through Gottenburgh
for Riga, on the 10th inst.
By a Danish Bast-Indianian, which put in here
yesterday, we have learned that the French Admiral
LlllOl4 was beat off in the most gallant manner, by
the English China ships, and was glad to take shel-
ter in Batavia, and that the whole of these ships pro-
ceeded on their voyage with safety.
A Norwegian gentleman, who has been travelling
along the coast of France, by Havre, from Bou-
logue, Calais, Ostend, &c. to Amsterdam, which
place he left twelve days ago, says, that the great-
est disaffettion prevailed every where, but particu-
larly in the so my. In Boulogne there were 1,800
vessels of all des:riptions, which number it was in.
tended to increase to 3,000; in the vicinity were
about 2&000 troops, and about 15,000 near Ostend.
I hese were the bulk upon the coast; but there were
considerably more up the country. He says, that
though the invasion of England was much talked
of. and every preparation made for it, but few per-
sons believed it would ever take place ; and that
since the late trials, the name of Bonaparte was exe-
crated, and the restoration of the Bomb .ins anxious-
ly wished for; and that noshing but the fear of
again wandering through all the horrors of the late
revolution, prevented their declaring in favour of it
in Holland—he says, that people were groaning
under their oppressions.

THE 3IIIPPIYG INTEREST'.

At a Meeting held on Tuesday, at Lloyd's, in
pursuance of a notice forme: ly given
Mr. MAYOR, in a nest speech, expatiated on the
injurious tendency of 411 ~rd signed by Mr. Lums-
den, Secretary 'to the Berittal Government, enjoin-
ing Captain Maxwell. the Commodore of an East.
India fleet lately arriv..d, nit to g've ot.-Zing
some private English shine, utier he should have
parted company with the King's ships that were :o
convoy them to a certain latitude. lie regretted that
the task should not have fallen upon some person beurr
qualified than him el by habits of public speakiiT,
to do it justice. fle thought it very strange that,
while orders were given to give every proteaion
b should net Artjw the ro:‘voo) to a Portuguese
ship, the Commodore should have been expressly
prohibited from affording the same proteelion to
Firsts! English ships—in consequence of which the
commerce of this country has suffered the greatest
lass that has been for a long time experienced, in
the capture of the .11ihea. It was necessary, he ob-
served, both in a retrospe9ive and prospeCtive view,
to enquire into this matter, and to ascertain with
whom such an extraordinary order originated. It
WAS incumbent on all those who were concerned, to
come forward, and clear themselves of that suspi-
cion which would naturally attach to this singular
proceeding. Whether the order originated with the
Court of Dire/tor 5, with the Governor General of
Bengal, or was procured indireftly by some more
circuitous influence, it equally required explanation.
a I have been informed of circumstances which
I do not think myself at present at liberty to men-
tion (said Mr. blavoa): but it is incumbent on us
to sift the matter to the bottom."
Upon these grounds he moved several Resolutions,
which were unanimously carried.

Moat swo.—We have already mentioned the
death of this celebrated painter. He died in the
10th year of his age. His garret, fur many years,
served him for aU the purposes of life, and of this
tie has left a most admirable pidure, which he
painted a short time since for Mr. GRAHAM, as a
Companion to Sir Jusiica Rsysot.Ds's litchen, in
Leicester-square, the house that once belonged to
his father. A great number of his pictures were
lost a few years ago, in a ship that foundered on its
passage to Russia. His genuine pieturds arc in few
hands. and his drawings are still mote scarce.

TO TIM 17DITOR 01 THE ERITI/H rßtss

Mr. Eel ron,
If the yr-cer, " that we should speak no ill of
dead"—(a precept adopted, I believe, merely
ins .the heathen philosophers—a precept which
ery body gravely quotes to every body; yet no
dy, I observe, ever adheres to in his own case)—.
can any thing more than that we should speak
thing unjustly of the dead, it is certainly a talse
e, that, under a colour of generosity, would leave
ice unreproached by that stigma, which, whether
life or death, Virtue only has a right to be et-
from• A vicious life might thus run its career
, safety; and the paths of society might be
reseed with its wanton poisons, in spite of the few
d feeble Admonitions, and still fewer and Lechler
,asthemerts, which, while justice and true charity
rgently prompt modern " good manners" on the
tte hand, and the laws of our country on the other,
ill not suffer to be bestowed upon them. When
e triumphs, therefore, of the wicked cease, this
,'se moral is to seal up the wholesome lips of
• atli : the accidental exceptions that may appear
• a general mass of, profligacy are to be extolled
ao positive and substantial virtues; and abashed
,mesey has nothing to do but to join in the general
uient to departed iniquity.
It is, therefore, in my humble opinion, not so di-
aly contrary to reason and true magnanimity, in-
uch as it is agreeable both to truth and justice,
At, notwithstanding the specious maxim I have
~eed, the world continues to treat the enormities
the dead sinner, with as little ceremony, as it
oes those of the living. Why should the memory
an individual, who insulted, injured, and defied
whole community, be thus tenderly spared ?
Because he cannot now defend himself r His
:ends then, if lie left any, may do it for him ; and
::at with mud: greater advantage. " But the man
. dead !"—a reason as senseless, as inert, as dead,
s the man himself ! If virtue ought to be held
eth to excite imitation, why should vice be con-
.4lW which the same reason requires should be
sally exposed, to discourage and depress imita-
:on. It any man will have the charity to convince
that the sagacity and eloquence of one great
lagistrate—the mechanical quirks and statute-ho-
eity of another; or the sharp industry of a third
smaller organ of the same profession, said to have
itely followed Death's dance to the ruse of four
undred and fifteen thousand pounds sterling), are
compensate the public for the injurious effects of
weir monstrous avarice, and total insensibility to
e miseries of their fellow-creatures; I shall be
appy to tetrad my present apprehensions. But I
g pardon for so much preface : I meant only to

enormous size and strength. as to receive the shot of
three discharges before it was secured, and it then
defended itself so powerfully, as to elude every de-

Mier's' the muzzle of hie gun. which it seized with
such aridity, as to hang in that position whilst he

VAUXHALL OAADVIS.

The amusements of this delightful sl st aaraged
an immense crowd last night.: It was a Gale Ni.aa
and, as is usual on such decamps. many persons oi
the first fashion were presept. It is alrenss
Me, to exaggerate in speaking of the shartas orth;.,
Gardens, when lighted up, and
,filled with an as-
semblage of beauty and fashion. It seems to
realise some of the Fairy Tales. Tho-maay_ thaw_
sands of lamps suspended among the tifeos, and is
the grand avenues ; the beauty of the trees them.
selves, the forms of whose foliage are sufficiently
displayed by this blaze of light ; and the graMlez.
of the tire-woks; with that splendid and moving
scene of persons dressed with the wrest refined
taste; all these produce a most striking effzet.-.
There certainly is not any thing of the kind to
raial it in Europe. it is one great quality of
English amusements, to combine propoimy and
convenience with the utmost degree of ele,-,:nce ;
and no where is this mcre exemplified- Cain
in these gardens. The tables are laid root wi:a
such neatness, and the whole is condutted with
such order, that in t!iis respfd nothiag is left to
be desired by the most fastidious .011 very large
portion of the enmpany supped last aught. Them
were fashionable parties in ail tie principal
boxes. The company appeared to be uric, a_
sally satisfied througbout the night. The fire-
works of the evening gave: peculiar satisfaction.
Weimar saw them equalled, we might almost say,
and certainly never surpassed, in ticveriety, the
grace, the beauty of die *nuns they exhibited.
Perhaps the first of these was, the transparency of
FA Me Mowing her trumpet, with appropriate and
illuminated trophies. Every ore seemed to depart
with regret front this scene of the Ere-works. Mack
of the best company remained in the gardens till a
very late hour.
