TIM day before yesterday Sir ARV= F',IET ar-
rived in town from Vienna:

IT was reported that a IN„,tessenger bad arrived yes-
terday evening with Dispatches from Lord LAcrir,-
pALE. We are; however, enabled to state that no
Messenger bad arrived from Paris' when this Paper
was put to Press.

Mr. Fox had a favourable night, and was still
b: tier this morning.

PRINCESS ELIZABETii'S apartments in. Windsor.
Castle are preparing,, and are to be new •farnisbed"
in a very elegant style by direction of His
MAJESTY.

On Monday her Royal-Highness-AuGusTAs Du-
chess of Brqnswick7Wolfenbuttle (Sister to His
MAJESTY) completed the 69th year of her age..
This PRINCESS is now the only remaining col-
lateral branch of His MAJESTY'S illustrious Fa-

rnily.

sixty pounds were given yesterday to receive one
hundred in case a Definitive Treaty ofPeace should.
be signed op the Ist of January next. The policy,
which was for eight hundred pounds; was. done at
Tom's; Coffee-house. . ,

. The following are the new Commissioners of
Re-
venue in Ireland, viz.—. Hon. Mr.*:HUTcHINSON,
Mr. THERRY, Mr. MACQUAY., Mr. TAYLOR, Mr.
PUNDAS, and Mr. MARSbEN.

Lady I\I::LBouRNE has been so much indisposed
that her illness gave riie to very serious apprehen-
sions. She is, however, well enough now to admit
the visits of her friends.

The Duchess of lioxsußon yesterday gave her
hand to Mr. MANNERS at the hymeneal shrine.
The fashionable circles announce a speedy union,
between Lord FOLEY and Lady CECILIA FrrzcE-
RALD. •

It is reported at Paris, that a Treaty ,of Alliance
has been signed with the Ottoman Porte, by which
France binds herself to aid.in sUppressing the Ser..,
yianinsurgents. lithe Porte consents to admit Vretwh,
troops into its territories, it will find that it has in-
troduced a more dangerous and fatal enemy than the
one whom they were called in to subdue.
It has been thought that the diSmission of French
Officers from the. Russian Service will lead to an
order for the
.removal of the King of France .from
the territories of the Russian Emperor. That Prince,
,however, must feel .too much for the misforttines of.
the unfortunate Monarch, and 'be 'too sensibly
impressed with the instability of all, human great-
ness, to deprive the illustrious vietim of his pro-
te6tion,:particularly as his removal to any other
State within the scope of French artifice might;
expose him to the same fate which befell the amia-
ble Duke D'ENGHEIN. - ' •

The Queen's. Bays, ,which were in barracks;atn
Dorchester, and in quarters' at Blandford, on satiii--;
day towards the evening- very unexpeaedly received
their route to march to Plymouth, with . positive or-
ders not to halt till they reached Bridport, and then
to proceed on with as little delay as possible. What
Could occasion the necessity for such expedition is
not known ; but the summons was obeyed with
gre'at alacrity by the Soldiers--,in twenty minutes
after the division at Blandford received their orders
to march they left the town.

. .
It appears that a considerable part 'of the army in-
tended to accompany the. Expedition ,about to sail
from the Downs, has not yet been able to .enthark,
which is attributed , to an unexpe&ed -deficiency of
Transports. They will, therefore, form a subsequent
detachment, which has probably given rise to the re-
port of a third Expedition being in agitation..
_The.
Troops that yet remain to embark are part of the:
62d, the whole of the 88th, the 40th (1100 strong),
the 2d, or Queen's Foot ; 13th ditto; 14th, 2d Bat-
talion ; and 40th, 2d Battalion.. Two German Re-
giments are also expe&ed to' embark, as well as se•
veral Reginiepts from Ireland.

It has been observed in the French Papers that the
Jews gave a very satisfaelory proof of their respect;
for Government; in assembling on their Sabbath to
receive the commands of the Emperor. But the
very circutnstance of convening them on, their Sab-
bath was a needless violation of their religious prin-
ciples,. and a wanton insult that must prepare them
for something worse. It is evident that they dared
not disobey the summons, lest a More severe fate.
should await them. As to the questions propdsed
them,. they are frivolous indeed, since they -re-
lated to ceremonies which are well-known among
the Jewish rites, and it was quite absurd to convene
a large body of the people to ant;wer them, unless
for the purposeof iinpressing them with a due awe
for the .Government, and a disposition to submit to
whatever it may be pleased to exact.

year, that the

This morning Diwid Robertson,..who was con-'-
viCtecl at

gate. The unfortunate roan, whO was nearly 60
years of age, appeared -deeply sensible of the enor-
mity of his crime. A great concourse of people as-
sembled to see the execution.'

SIR,,

I have the honour to transmit a Copy of a Letter
to Comatodore Sir llotne Popham, at the care of

Adamant, in False Bay, Cape of Good
Hope, May 26, 1806.

I have the honour to inform you of the arrival of
His Majsty's Ship under my eotnmand at this tin-
chora4e, with the Victuallers named in the margin*,
accompanied by the Spanish Ship Nostra SeriOra de
los Dolores, alias La Reparadora, of thirty guns
(twelve and twenty-four pounders) and three hun-
dred and fifteen men, commanded .by Stanislaus
Comaud, an Officer in the Spanish Navy. We fell
in with, andcaptured her, on the 6th inst. in lat. 30
deg. 30 min. S. and long. 15 deg. .9,0 miu. W. She
had beep out a month from Monte Vidoo, in the
Rio de la Plata, and had taken nothing. I have great
satisfaction in announcing the capture of this Ship to
you, as from her magnitude and force, she might
have done much mischief to the trade on the Coast .
of Africa; her Crew are a desperate set of French,
Spaniards, Portuguese, and Americans, the principal
Officers French: she had authority from the Vice-
Roy to wear the Colours of the King 'of Spain, and
had a Company of Spanish Infantry on board. She
is a strong well-built Vessel, about four years old,
coppered,. and capper fastened, and 'is, in my opi-
nion, well calculated for His Majesty's service.
. I have the Honour to be, 6.c.
JOHN STILES.

Copy of another Letter from Captain Stiles, of His
Mrdesty's Ship Adamant, to IP illiam Marsden,
Esq. dated at St. Helena, Jane 25, 1806. •

slit,
our days before I parted with the East. India
Convoy, I fell in.. with and captured a Spanish Ship
of War of thirty.. guns and three .hundred and fif-
teen men ; the particulars of which I beg leave to
inclose in a Letter No. 1. I arrived in Table Bay,
with the Victuallers, on the -20th of May; and,
having seen: them in safety without anchoring my-
self, 1 immediately prOceeded to sea on my return
to St. Helena, according to their Lordships' orders ;
but meeting with a most violent gale of wind from
the N. W. and being very short of water (having
been three months from England without touching
at any place, with three hundred and fifteen prison,
ers), both my tuaingapsail yards carried away, and
my peOple very much afflicted with the scurvy, I
thought myself justified in bearing up for Simon's
Bay for refreshments. The French Admiral Wil7
ieaumez, with six Sail of the Line, was in these
Seas- about six, weeks ago : his intention was to have
gone to the Cape; but hearing it was in our,posses-
sion he was obliged to go to Fernand de Noronha
for, water, and has not since been heard of. The
Cannonniere French Frigate (late His Majesty's Ship
Minerve) put into False Bay about the Ist of May,
not knowing the Cape was. in our hands, and sent
her Boat on shore with a Lieutenant, who, with his
Crew, are prisoners on board this Ship. As there
was no Man of War in either Table or False Bay,
and as she did not quite fetcu into the proper annor-
age, she got away, and it, is supposed she is gone to
the Isle of France, where the Piedmontese is lying
blocked up by 'the Russet, Loru Duncan, and Psycne.
. I haft the ;Honour to De, &c.

was transacted.

It has been stated, that,I3,msTAPARTE has demand..
ed from thelCnio of SPA.TN, the cession of four
rich Spanish Provinces. It is now added, gn the
authority of.a;Letter received with the last Lisbon
Mail, by a Neutral Agent in this country, that
such a demand was aaually.macle by BONA!ARTE'S
Anibassadarat Madrid on the 18th of last June.- A 4
indemnity for these Provinces was offered in the king-
dom of Portutral. This acuiSition is to be called
a Grand Duchy, and to form, on the other side of
the Pyrenees, one of the nets Federal States with
which the Usurper intends to encompass k'rarice,.f4

A certain Member of the Corps Diplomatique,

lately been cruizing, and seems anxious to drop an-

When PALMER introduced the bead of .BONA!
PARTE on Monday night in . his Lea:hire a great part
of the Audience heartily applauded the censures
which were thrown on the conduct and chary ter
of the French Ruler. The head of Mr. PITT was
also introduced, and the Audience in general as
heartily joined in the eulogians, which were paid
to the high merits of that illustrious Statesman.
Some persons, however, expressed dissatisfaetion the:
either head was introduced, as the subject tended- tq
excite political feelings in a place intended for mere
amusement.

As Mr. RAE,' in Hamlet, was last night repeating
"'Oh that this too solid flesh would melt,

.

A fellow from the gallery roared out—,." Egad ! if

Modern Dramatists are accused of taking freely:

A few days ago, after returning from perform!!
ing the last duties over a brother- soldier, a hairt
dresser at Chelmsford placed his musket in his shop,
where it generally, stood for the amusement of his
customers. On the next evening, Saturday, the
time of general muster for the razor-exercise, the
.shop being much crowded, the conversation ran upon
the Training-bill, when the musket was handled by
several with. considerable ability. The owner, how-
ever, observing two or three awkward recruits, turn-
ed drill-serjeant, and,' while . his irons were heating,
amused his customers by several expert manxuvres
but on coming to the present ,Mire--the piece went
off, .to The astonishment Of the beholders, the con=
fusion of poor the utter discomposure of several;
full-dressed Ivigs,..hanging ity the window, ready to
decOrate the heads of the Essex Beaux on the follow-
i no- day, and the demolition of several panes of glass.
