iv& up in Windsor Great Park, to inspeEt the

the 10140, and a number of Gentlemen Sports-

A,Council of the Cabinet Ministers was yes.

Was attended by the LORD CHANCELLOR, the

GarNvit.LE Mr. PITT, and Mr. WINDHAM.
At the breaking up of the deliberations, a

The LORD CHANCELLOR, Lord CASTLE-
REAGH, and the MASTER of the ROLLS dined
yesterday with Mr. Durum.* at his Seat at

His MAJESTY has been pleased to appoint the
Right Hon. Lord COMIGHAM to be a knight of
the Order of St. Patrick, in the room of the Mar-
quis of WATERFoRn, deceased.

The foreign troops left in the Isle of Wight
are very inconsiderable in number ; 400 Dutch,
and above goo in.the depot, under the command
ofLieutenant.Colonel Co up E R.

The fine Regiment of Hot:perch': Ch. asseurs
Chrval, which has been nearly fifteen months in
Ireland, sailed few weeks ago for Gibraltar,
where it joined Sir R. ABLIICROMBY, to of in
the Expedition to Egypt.
The qUEI.N of NArt.rs, in addition to her
former purchase in Germany, has lately given
four millions of livres for the estate of the Cardi-
nal BATHIANI, in Hungary.

Colonel ByNo , who, it is said, has fallen in
an attack by the Freneh Cliasseurs, was the son
of the Hon. BYNG, one of the COmMia-
sioners of.the Stamp Office. It is not absolutely
certain, we understand, that this melancholy
event has happened; and we sincerely hope that
the report,will• be,eontradieted. . Colonel BYNG
was, a young Geniletnan of great talents and
worth. His manners were highly polished and
engaging, and if he has really fallern.his fate will
be regrettedby very numerous and distinguished
(Thlti
in the Austrian service, and promised to be-
eoioe an ornament to his COuntry..
A "etter lately received by a Gentleman
in the city,' . written on the field of battle at
Hohenlinden, gives an account of a brave ex-
.ploit performea .by Colonel WILLI:kW, for-
merly distinguish& for his skilful command of
the Austrian flotilla on the Lake of Constance.
This Officer, who commanded the Austrian re-
giment of Dragoons of Latour, was the means of
saving the AReVIDU*E JOHN from being made
prisoner, and succeeded in bringing off all his
papers and equipage. • This brilliant affair was
of the' utmost danger to Colonel WI Lt. t AMS
his orderly dragoon was cut •to pieces, and two
other ,brave fellows were wounded and taken
prisoners. The: Colonel had four horses killed
under him; land, the one that brought him off
was lame from a wound, and was rendered un-
serviceable ; the Colonel was wet to the skin, and
without food or change of clothes, his servant,
with his portmanteau, havit)g been taken pri.
caner. Mr. W c AtA, the British. IVlinister with
the Austrian Army, was an eye-witness to the
whole affair.

The usual arts of misrepresentation, have been
emplqed to make the measure recommended by
flit fifth Report of the Committee of the House
of Commons aypear to he what that Report ex-
pr.t.,ly deprecates the idea of, a change in the
sy item of the.. Poor Laws. The Relief proposed
to be afforded to the four Parishes mentioned in
that Report is ojily by a more extended opera-
don of theMt of the 4.3(1 of ELIZA IJECH. The
instances of Parishes within the Hundred and
within the County having been rated in aid of
Parishes unable themselves to. raaintain their-own
Poor are innumerable, and to be found• in Bores
Poor Laws. The burthen which it threw upon
Justices, of exercising a discretion, which must
always be painful, together with thedilliculty ari-
sing from a decision that Parishes in a City were
not under the words of the Ad liable to contribute,
must alone have been sufficient to have rendered
an explanatory Ad necessary. The.siroation of
the Country, and thejustice of the.case, certainly
pointed out the,Mode recommended by the Cbm.
Mittce as the most eligible. •
Tl.e Frcnch Pap.zr, the lionittyr, gives itself
