tertainment. (which some years ago drew Considerable
numbers to the Lakes orDerwent and Bassenthwaite)
was resetwid, upon A smaller scale, at Windertriere.
It, was attended by a very respecl4ole and numerous
company. All the boats upon the lakes were
crowded. A party (to the number of sixty) dined
in an elegant marquee, fitted for the occasion, on a
-beautiful green near the Ferry house, the ICendal
Band playing s's'eral loyal airs during the dinner.
In the evenibg a rowing match took place between

Jeremiah Askew,:a Tradesman at Yaxley, near the
Norman Cross Barracks, for haling in his custody
a quantify of Piillasses ' anti other articles,,marked
with the Broad Arrow, being the Covernment mark.
It was clearly proved that this man had carried on a
very considerable traffiek in articles obtained from
the Prisoners of War at . Norman ,Cross. Govern.
ment had been for some time aware of the exterisive
depredations committed, and notices were stuck up
in the neigTibtqlrlibod of- the Barrack's, as a caution.

clothing, beddjing, or ,othr articles furnished to the -

EXTRACT OF A-LETTER FROM Lisnox,
JULY 8, 1801.
In my last .Letter, dated 29th ult: I informed
you-lri the eoncluding part, that it was generally
„supposed, by the-Ministers of this Country, ",that
the French GoVernment would not ratify the
Treaty." This supposition is fully confirmed ;
the French. Government: insist upon the Por.tu.
guese receiving French and Spanish garrisons in its
Cities and Forts, as also on the cession of the Pro..
:vince of Algarva •to Spain. The Portuguese Go.
verrinient is making very great exertions..to defend
itself: They are working in the arsenal -day and
night, and the greatest.activity. prevails in 'every
branch-of the War Department.' The GoVernantit -
here:still-hope -for, succours from Ingland-tyain dew
lusive -hope I Portuguese Sail of the Line are
on the eve of sailing to join-our Fiect olf Cadiz ;
very,large_bounties are offered to seamen to enlist.
The Portuguese Government is- be"ome rich now,
and can afford it, as part of the Subsidy frOm Eng-_
land, which -arrived in- the All.soi;Filigate a few
• days since, has filled its coffers,' and 'will serve as ‘,
pocket-money for General ST. 'who, I in.:
formed you in my last, had invested:Almeida, and
is now advancing very rapidly towards this place.
His Head-quarters are at:Sa‘ntarem,;ahout fifteen
leagues from Lisbon. The Due ry.ALl4OENs'i the'
Portuguese - Ctirnmancler in -Chief, has qiiitred his
'strong ,pOsitionat Abrantes,-leaving-a strong Corps ,
there, under the command of General FORBES (a
Scotchman, many yeais in theT"ortuguese service*),
and is gone with the main Army towards Str.Cim's
Army, and has taken a-very favourable position to
prevent a farther_ irruption if possible. The French,
Spanish, and Portuguese Negotiators, still continue
at. Badajoz, where the of Spain also is, ex..
peeing to have net' the Prince of Portugal, had
the peace 'been ratified. NOtwithitanding these
warlike appearances,- . there is. no doubt that Porta_
~ gal, must make peace? and submit to any terms.
The rest is all a farce, played for the' purpose -of
diverting the Cabinet of St. James's. . .
" Chevalier D'AitAx'io, who. was sent to L'Ori-
ent in a frigate, did not .obtain permission from the
.French Government to -proceed to Paris, but re..
mained at L'Orient. •He was lodged in the house
of tile. Prefea, and was highly tileased with his
treatment. The crew of the frigate were main- •
rained by the French „Government: The Chief
Consul informed the unfortunate di appointed Di.
plomarist, that as toe Ministers were- -assembled -at

Binia-LAtfr.—Last Su' day morning about three
o'clock, the house 'of Mr; Bateson, of Denmark_
street, St. Giles's, was broke open,' and robbed
of: various articles of .plate, several .Bank-Notes,
'and:,wearing 'apparel; to a considerable amount ;
the apartmeits of. Mr. Williams, who lodges in
the house, were likewiie robbed of a zol. Bank-
Note, a 51. and two 1/. Notes ; four dozen sil-
ver handled knives and forks; and rarious articles
of wearing apparel. " At the.time the villains were
leavin..;a- the house with their booty, Mr. NeVviy-n,
constable of 'Ste•Arrn's, being' out upon. his duty,
'passing the end of Denmark-street, in Crown-street,
he perceived, four men coining out of the house. of ,
Mr. Batcson,, and suspecting theky had broke open
the house, he dertrroined on watching. On his fol.-.
lowing them, and getting a view, he discovered two
to be of suspicious charatiets; they went into the
house of a man of the.name of Freake, in Crown-
street ; 'about seven o'clock he procured the assist..
ance of .Croker, a Bow street Officer, and they al).
'prehended oneof the robbers at the house in' Crown-
street; about four o"clock in the afternoon they ap-
prehended another of the men, and since that time a
third h3s been apprehended, who is strongly sus-
pefled of'being one of the robbers. They were yes-
terday examined at the Public-Office,,Bow-street,
before NATHANYEL CONANT, Esq. the Siiiing Ma-
gistrate, when some of the Bank Notes stolen were
proved to have been found upon them. They were
all fully committed for trial. _ .

About one o'clock on Friday rimming last,
fisheiman of Brighton, named Thomas Pain,.got up,
and to accourt for his early rising;. toia his wife:
he was going to tann his nets; bur instead-of pro_
ceeding to that business, it is 'supposed- he went
immediately to the sea-side, and with a rope tied
himseff fast to a.post of one of the groins, hear the
Fishery, at low water mark, in which situation he
*as found drowned, abut two hours Afterwards. It
is conceived he used the.precaution of lashing him..
self to the poit to prevent his body from floating
