WEYMOUTH, SEPT. r 3.

YESTERDAY evening the KING and PRINCESSES
walked on the Esplanade, after which they visited
the Theatre. The Performances were the Comedy
called The Wonder a Woman keeps a Secret, and the
Musical Entertainment of The Review ; or Wags
of Windsor, which was well received. It was Mrs.
HARLOWE'S' Benefit, who aeted with her usual
spirit in the character of Flora in the Play, and
PAcebe Whitethorn in the Entertainment, in which
she gained great applause. Mr. PENLEy's Song in
praise of Weymouth, met with the approbation of
the whotc audience.
. This morning His MAJESTY bathed.

The ROYAL FAMILY attended Divine Service at
Weymouth Church, where they heard a Sermon
preached by the Right Rev, the Lord BISHOP of
SALISBURY, from the First Book of Corinthians,

.4 And now abideth, Faith, Hope, Charity, these three;
but the greatest of these is Charity."

The 2sth and 61st Psalms, were sung before
Tx EX a MAJESTIES-the first and last verae of the

sion on the sands.
The Earl and Countess of WESTMQRLAND left
Weymouth yesterday.

Lieutenant. Colonel SLADE of the First Regiment
of Dragoons, one of fits MAJESTY'S Equerries in
Wpiting, arrived here yesterday morning.

Considerable progress has been already made in
fitting up a private Box for the reception of His MA-
JESTY and 'the ROYAL FA,Ntity at Covent-Garden
Theatre. The Box chosen for this purpose is that
which belongs to the Duke of BEDFORD. It is to
be completed in the first style of elegance and con-
venience, and in order to render the accommodation
in every respect suitable, the adjoining saloon with
a suite of thre_.. apartments is to he annexed to it.—
A communication between it and the PONCE of
WALES'S Box is effeCted, and the whole is to he
finished according to a plan suggested by Mr.
HARRIS, which has receiv.ed His MAJESTY'S ap-
probation.
The Count De BOLT RNON, a learned and respe&a-
ble`Emigrant, has sent a description of the arseni-
ates of Copper and Iron, from the County of Corn-
wad, to the ROYAL SOCIETY, which is inserted
in the last volume of their Philosophical Transac-
tions. For the honour of' this intelligent and ami.
able Foreigner, it is proper to state his motives for
this communication in his own words :—" I offer
the result of my observations to the ROYAL SO-
CIETY, as an acknowledgment of. that gratite
which 1, and all Frenchmen, faithful to their King;
ught to feel and profess to a Country. Which has
distinguished itself as.the Protector Of Honour 'and
Loyalty."

The EMperor ALEXANDER'S Masa against
Gaming is certainly highly necessary, if all the
people of the North are as much addided to it as
those of Hainbnrgh, and if it be attended with the
same fatal consequences. A man of observation,
who has for two years frequented the Tay.erns of
Hamburgh, gives an account of the result of his
inquiries in a German Paper. He says, that out of
six hundred person;, habitual frequenters of gaming.
houses, whom he had marked out and kept in his
eye, nearly half of them have been driven to sea for
a refuge, and have lost both their lives and the
wreck of their property ; that a hundred others have
turned nut cheats and roobers on the highway : and
diat among the rest, some have died with rage and
apopiexy, and others of grief and misety. The
most remarkable circumstance in the narrative of
this Hamburgher is, that during the whole space of
two years, he ne,er saw one of these six hundred
gamesters with a new coat on,
The Duke of ivlopEnA, it seems, has expressly
refused to accept the Brisgau for his Indemnifica-
tion. He should remember that the Great Nation
has determined to carry the provisions of the Treaty
of Lioterville into effect, and when he has to do with
such a Nation he should think of the homely adage,
and rcflett that 'f half a loaf if better than no
Bread."

It is now again stated, that the Prince of SALM,
supposed to have been guillotined in the reign of
ROBES? lERRE, was the Prince of SALM SALM,
and not SALM KYRBouRO. The question seems
to be an intricate one, whether the latter Prince,
who seems, to have been guilty of the late Forge.
ries on the Bank of Altona, has been beheaded, or
whether be 'will be hanged

The 'rench Papers amuse themselves with a me 7
lancholy story, lately inserted in thi English Prints,
of a man having hanged himself in his pocket_
handkerchief. , They observe, that this is One more
in addition to the seventeen uses to which an Eng-
lish handkerchief is,dedieated. Those who wish to
know what are the uses of 'a handker-
chief, are referred to SmaLLE'r, who deseiibes, in
terms not sufficiently delicate to be quoted, thiS
article which tie justly calls the fag efabomination.'
It is said that those who are in the confidence of
Mr. BECOORI) declare, that no decieein the West
Indies, or elieWhere, to deprive him of part of his
income, ever did exist. We believe that ihose who
are in the confidence of Mr'. tEcitFoitP are so little
likely to betray that confidence, that they will pro-

A very curious circumstance occurred last Tues-
day near Saffron Walden, which was witnessed.by
several people. A vast number of swifts and swal-
lows assembled in
,the air, apparently for the purpose
of itiking their departure to another cliMate, when a
battle ensued, in which several of them were kilted.
One. Gentleman picked up. seven which had perished
in the confiiet. None others of the feathered tribe
mingled in the fight, which did not end until the
combatants., were wrapped in darkness,
