FOREIG.V lATELLIGEA-CE.

FRANKFORT, OCT. 14.—The neutrality of the
Ele&orate of Hesse is mutually confirmed, both by
France and Prussia. A Hessian corps is posted be-
tweetA Cassel and Marburgh, to maintain this neu-
trality.
A meteor, which was seen on the 28th of Sept.
has produced a lively sensation in all the South of
Germany, pat ticularly among a certain class of peo-
ple. It was also seen in the western part of Swa-
bia. At Memmingen this meteor appeared as if
falling to the ground, and dividing itself in four
parts. , We are assured the Jews bf Fellheirn have
celebrated this event as announcing the approaching
advent of the Messiah.

LOWER ELBE, OCT. 17.—This day several Esta-
fettes have arrived, which left Berlition the 15th ;
and private letters received this evening from Ham-
burgh state, that ,the. Head Sei:retary of the Post-
Oftice, at Dresden, had received intelligence that no
fears need anylonger be entertained for the capital
of Saxony, as they had been informed, by a Courier
of the mth, that Prince Hon EN .OHE had totally de-
feated Marshal SOULT'S corps. Other private let-
ters from Berlin add, • that 6000 French were left
dead upon the field of battle, and 14,000 made
prisoners. This news, has been publicly posted in the
Government House, at Berlin. •
Here it is to be remarked, that the time and place
of the battle are not mentioned in these: letterS., and
that the Ministry at Berlin had 'received no intelli,
gence of this kind on the night of the I.sth from
his Majesty's head-quarters: neither has any certain
information reached Hamburgh as yet, either from
Dresden, Leipzic, the Prussian hea&quiarter, or from
Brunswick. .

We must still -wait for the pfficial confirmation
of this intelligence, as well as thatNwhich is related
of General RUCHEL having obtained a complete
victory over the left, wing of the French, in which a
French Leader of note was. said to have been made
prisoner. ,
LEIPSIC, OCT. 14.—Yesterday a notice was pub-
lished by the Magistrates, prohibiting the country
merchants from leaving this fair before its termina-
tion, with the view that the payments of the last
fortnight may be made with the usual order and re-
gularity.

HAGUE, OCT. 14.—1 n consequence of the pre-
sen,t military movements on the Frontiers of West-
phalia, the last posts.from Prussia, Sa:),:pny, Hanover,
Hesse, Hamburgh, and Bremen, have not arrived..
According to the last accounts from 'Wesel, no pre-
parations have yet been made •for removing the
head-quarters farther forward. The recruiting ...for.
the army prevails with the greatest activity in every
quarter of Holland. The inferior Officers 'reserve
f.or.each recruit a premiuM of three, ducats, and .an
extraordinary preMiuM for raising a certain Dumber.
A reward is besides given for those who engage to
serve six years.
.A number of youths in the Orphan
House, who an: well grown,, have entered. into the
military service.
HAmßurton, OCT. 18.—The Austrian Cabinet
Courier, M. CROCLET, arrived yesterday at Ham-
burgh from Vienna.
Romp:, SEPT. 17.---The Neapolitan insurgents
have frequently made incursions, with their plun7.
dering, parties, into the Ecclesiastical ,territory. Near
Arcoli, a party of them, eighty in number, fell in
with a Papal detachment under Captain 11.11NAccz,
who had the misfortune to be killed in the beginning
of the action. His troops, interior in number to the
enemy, were compelled to retire. The French
Ambassador, ALQUIER, has left Albania, and taken
up his residence at Rome.
Bulls have been dispatched to Cardinal FEs(rn; in
consequence
.of which the Archbishopricks of Lyons
and Itatisbon are united.
CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 12.-7--It is said, that a
certain Power has required the Porte to declare ex-
plicitly what part the Turkish GOvernment means
to take under the present circumstanees.—The Mis-
sian 'Envoy, M. ITALINSKY, has very urgently pro-
tested against the order of the Porte fir dismissing
tte Hoipodars of Moldavia and Wallachia.---The
French Ambassador, M. SEBASTIANI, has had a pri-
vate audience of the Grand Signior, which lasted
four hours, at one of his country houses.

Many attempts have been made,. with alternate
success and c_snppointment, to improve the means
of varying the tittnperature of the atmosphere in our
houses, and it is well known that the rousing Eng-
lish fire is the common topic of ridicule and con-
tempt among our Northern neighbours, who prefer
the stove to the broad chimney and glowing combus-
tibles, so indicative of British hospitality.• It must
be confessed that. our partial adherence to amient
custom in preference to modern ingenuity, is not'al-
wys justifiable. The Swedes were the first who
discovered (in i 766). the method of animating the
flame by concealed tubes, which gave. also the ad-
vantageof-cOnveying away the noxious vapour with
which all'materials for domestic burning are impretr-
nated. But whatever may be the obje&ions to which
that contrivance may be liable, they have been
obviated by the discovery of a person of the .name
.of OLIVER, whose invention has been laid • beforo
the National Institute of Paris, 60,1. Guttak.

This ,Calirofere (snail is' the name it has received)
poSsesses .the following recommendations :
I. The tuLe of the chimney is reducible to • -so
small a size, that the escape of the smoke into the
apartment is impossible. -
2. The apotatus burns the combustibles intro-
duced into it without waste, to an impalpable powder,
or perfed ash.
,3. Itemits all the heat into the room without, per-
mitting any of it uselessly to escape.
. 4. The heat is capable of being regulated to any
degree of the thermometer required. •
,5. A very small quantity of wood is sufficient to
warm a large room for 'l2 hours.
• 6. The tire .'!4 ,al,ways visible to every person in
the room.
7. The chimney is capable of receiving all the or-
naments which wealth can supply, or art contrive.

..GAE.—The hares on the Yorkshire \Voids, this
season, have been very scarce. Not half a crop ;
and without stria attention, seem to be vanishing
very fast. The best Wolds—F/i.r.ton and Sher-
borne, are without any.

Mug DER M. StnclDE.—On.the 3 tit of Au4ust
last, Mrs. Sarah Hallock, wife of Mr. Henry Hil-
lock, of Westmoreland, America, murdered all her
children, four in number, .and killed herself. No
house can be assigned for her unnatural condua. In
the forenoon she visited one of her neighbours, and
was apparently sane, and in good health and spirits.
Mr. Hallock, having been absent the whole day, re-
turned in the evening, and found his house deserted.
Search was made; and the bodies of his wife and
children, mangled and lifeless, w6re found in 'an ad-
joining corn-field. The children were all daugh-
ters, the eldest aged seven years, and the youngest
an infant of ten months.

The only
_capital Prize in the present Lottery yet
divided into, Shares is No. 7157, a Prize of 10,01)01.
which was sold in one Quarter, two Eighths, and
eight Sixteenths, by SWIFT and co. No. t 1, Poultry,
and No. 1% Charing-Cross, by whom also many of
the highest Prizes in the last and late Lotteries were
shared and .sold. There are now 19 Capital Prizes
in the Wheel, and Tickets and Shares no higher in,
price than before the Drawing began. The next
Day of Drawing will be on Tuesday, the 4th of
November.

Next Tuesday morning will convey agreeable
tidings to some one or other who possesses a 'Ticket
or Share in the. present State Lottery. The Wheel
abounds in Capital Prizes. It must be strange in=
deed, for any one who adventures at all, hot to be-
come a possessor of a Ticket or Share on the present
occasion ; particularly so; as they may be purchased,
warranted undrawn, at the same price as they were
previdus to the commencement of the Drawing,
at Hot{:ism- and Co.'s State Lottery Offices, No, 26.,
Cornhill ; -:No. 52, Charing-cross ; and St. Marga-
ret's Hill, Borough.
