tion attracted a great assemblage of the first judges
of horses ; among theta were Sir Henry Peyton, Sir
Henry Campbell, Mr. Cave Brown, of Leicester,

sia to select English horses for his Majesty. Those

On Thursday the Prince Legent held a Levee at
Carlton-House, which was numerously attended,

liant effect when the Company assembled. The
Prince Regent was dressed in a Marshal!' Uniform.

Kent, the Ministers of State, several l'relates, a
great number of Military and Naval Officers, and
distinguished Peers and Commoners, the Foreign
Ambassadors, &c. &c. The presentations were nu-
merous, and after the Levee his Royal Highness
haul a select party to dinner.

much. The Duchess of Gloucester visits the Du-
chess of Kent daily. _ _

cepted an invitation from Mr. Coke to visit Holk-
barn, in Norfolk, immediately after the Cambridge

wicke, to pass'two days afterwards at Wimpolc, in

The King of France, in exercise of his Royal.
prerogetive, has voluntarily recalled live more of
the exiles, at the head of which stands Mantle&

Letters received by the last Dutch mail, in re-
lation to the affuirs of cointuerce, are of a mush
more cheering nature than those which have for a
very long period been receives! from the same quar-
ter. If appearances may be trusted, there is every.
prospect that business is about to revive from that
stagnant state in which it has so long languished.
Orders were beginning to arrive from the different
towns in the north of Germany, which have usaully
looked to the Dutch merchants for a supply ; and
those tradesmen whom the declining. state of the
markets hut) compelled• hitherto to purchase only
what they required for immediate use, were buying.
freely, and on the same scale as formerly. The let-
ters front Holland new assure those to whom they
arc addressed in this coutwy, that every specks of
coloniel produce may be exported without fear of
sustaining a loss, am! with u reasonable prospect of
any improvement in value. Bills on England were
becoming so Reece, that they could with difficulty
lie procured at all ; there will remain, therefore, nu
means of making remittances but by bullion, a eh--
eumstance peculiarly favourable to the new urrange-
ments now making in this country with respect to
the circulating medium.

LUNATICS -It appears, from a real ss laid before
Parliament, that there are 1156 lunati t confined
in the lElli:rent gaols, hospitals, an.l lunatic asy-
lums of England and Wales. Of these, 635 are
males, 501 females. In Bethletn Hospital, the
number actually confined is 193; viz. 107 wales
and 86 females. This num.'s does not include pri-
vate mad-houses. By another paper, it appears
there are 88 licensed houses for the reception of lu-
natics in England and Wales:, which contain 2..545
lunatics, making a total of 3701. If to this num-
kir lrs added those who retuain in the custody of
their friends, we should suppose the aggregate
amount must exceed 'bur thousand.

A piece of ground near Louth, for building on,
the property of the late R. Lee, Esq., has been sold
in lots, for upwards of 2,0001. per acre.
SOUTIIWARK ELECTORS.-.-OR Friday at number

by several others of his relatives, attended by the
Stewards, amid Alto, plaudits of about 200 pc sons,

ritais loyal toasts were proposed...by the chairman,

GaAND E.NTVItTAISMENT A S towe.—l.ord Temple
and Ilia Lady, alter their marriage, lelt town for Buck-
iii4hanashire, and as they passed throttO the county
were received with enthusiasm by all ranks and descrio-
oils of people ; all the ladies wore twitches of white
ritMct„ d el the Yeomanry escorted the happy pit: to
Stowe, and afterwards gave a grand dinner• in celebra-
tion of their nuptials. It was not the least gratifying
to his Lordship's feelin;s that all party and political
comiderations ceased on the occasion, and there was a
pleasing mixture of persons, whose political sentiments
were in opposition to each other, but they did not intet.
fere to prevent that hilarity and unanimity that prevailed.
in consequence of these flattering marks of respect it
superb entertainment was given at the Cabinet' Arms,
Buckingham, by Lord Temple, on Tuesday, the 25th
ult. to which the Corporation of Buckingham was
invited, and a number of Yeomanry, anal several
persous of distinction in the neighbourhood, and the
p iii were regaled with !dewy of wholesome food and
excellent ale. There were about one hundred of the
Nouility and Geutry sat down to the grand entertain-
ment ; after the cloth was removed the greatest possible
conviviality prevailed, and the company was &lighted
with several Irish lilts by Webb, who left town for. the
purpose, and on Thursday the Marro s gave a diituer to
the Officers of the Yeomanry at Stowe.
In one of the ships belonging to the Hudson's.
bay Company, which recently left the river for
their settlements,.Lieutenant Franklyn, late com-
mander of the Trent, in the expedition to reach the
North Pole, has taken his passage for the purpose of
exploring that part of America to the northward of
I Italson s-bay. The route this of ieor is to take will
he nearly the same as that pursued by Mr. Hearne,
in 1770, who stated that he reached the sea at the
entrance of Copper Mine river. Lieutenant Frank-•
lyn will be acwmpanied by about live Europeans,
one of whom is a surgeon ; and on their arrival at
the Copper Mine river, are to pursue such further
course as may appear proper.
During the voyage of discovery last year to Baf-
fin's-hay, a bottle was thrown into the sea from the
Alexander, Lieutenant Parry, on the 24th Muy,
when that ship was off ('ape Farewell. It con-
tained the latitude and longitude the rhip was then
in. About two months since the bottle was found
on the island of Bartragh. in Killala-bay, and an
account of it forwarded to the Admiralty. It is
supposed it must have floated at about the rate of
eight miles per day across the Atlantic.
