WEYMOUTH, jttLY 2

Yesterday, THEIR MAj ESTI ts were highly de•
lighted with their aquatic excursion ; having a fine
breeze, they soon got round Portland, but the
wind becoming cairn, gr.: MArESTY, anxious to
go to the Theatre, ordered the Royal Barge and a
Boat belonging to the Charlotte Yacht, to row them
ashore : the Barge was towed by the boat from
about two Leagues off Portland to Weymouth Har-
bour ; the men rowing about three hours, came
ashore at ‘a quarter past seven o'clock. The Qua rt
ordered the men refreshment, and admission into
the Theatre.

The Roy.At FAMILY on landing, rode to G1ou•
cester-Loclge ; after staying a short time, they went
to the Theatre to see the Comedy of "The Way to
get Married," and the Farce of " The Deaf Lc•ver."
Between the Play and Entertainment several fa-
vourite Airs with variations, on the Violin, were
admirably played by Mr. WARE.
This morning HIS MAJESTY walked before
breakfast on the Esplanade.
PRINCESS AUGUSTA bathed.

The KING, after breakfast, accompanied by
PRINCE ADOLPHUS, and PRINCESS SopHIA, on
horseback, took an airing on the Dorchester road.
The QUEEN and PRINCESS ELIZABETH, in the
Phaeton, and PRINCESSES AUGUSTA, MARY, and
AmEL t,A, ViSCOUItteSS SUDLEY, and Lady CATH•
CART, in their Sociable, took an excursion as far
as Ridgeway-Hill.

The spirit of oUr Country co-operating with the
alivity of our Government, will effeaually secure
us from the attempts which the French may make
to invade our Coast with any chance of success.
The French Rulers are, no doubt, aware of this
strong ground of national defence, and would cer.
tainly not risk their Troops on so hopeless a sere
vice, except they' want CO exppse them to certain
destruction—a disposition which may, with strong
probability, be imputed to them. It is, however,.
very likely that they hold an intercourse with do-
mestic incendiaries, who are ready to betray their
Country. Therefore we trust, that while our Go..
vernment is taking all possible means for the ex-
ternal protation of the Empire,- that they will also
be equally vigilant to guard us against treachery at,
home.

" Eve►i_handed Justice" never returned gg the
poisoned chalice" to any one more completely than
to BONAPARTE, if we are to believe his own ac-
cDunt. His violent measures, destructive of
Liberty of the Press in France, have been the occa-
sion of himself remaining in ignorance of his "o'w
preparations against this country.
The number of people present in Paris on the'ee-
lebration of the 4th of jtily, is estimated at not
less.than boo,ooo persons.

On Thursday evening a Press Gang, consisting
of about fourteen persons, having received informa-
tion of a number of Sailors who lately belonged to
the Company's Ships being secreted in some public
houses in Leadenhall-street, , proceeded thither, pro-
perly armed, with an intention to impress them and
take them on board the Tender. The Sailors, how-
ever, having intimation of their approach, instant,
ly colletted together, and resisted the Gang: A
general engagement immediately ensued, and the
Tailors, after a difficult scuffle, proved viaorious•
Ind obliged the Press Gang to relinquish their put..
pose.

. It is said that Mr. BECKFORD has ordered his
present furniture to be disposed of, with a view to
decorate his mansion at Foothill, in a new style.—^
What his intentions may be, it is difficult to con•
ceive, but nothing can be more magnificent than
his house in its present state, and any change he
can make can hardly be more expensive.

KEMBLF, who is now performing at Hereford,
has never been there since his boyish days. He was
born in that neighbourhood, so that independently
of bis high professional merits, the People will
doubtless feel 3 relative connedion with him that
will induce them to give a warm protettion to his
talents.

About ten o'clock on Tuesday morning, a most
desperate attempt was made by some 'of the Pri.
soners in Stafford gaol to, escape. One of the turn•
keys, on entering the felons division 'of the pri-
son, was seized by Thomas Howell and 'William
Fowlds ; they took the keys from him, tied him to
the rail of the staircase, and then, with nine others,
rushed out to the Boundary Wall, where they seized
the ladders from a building which is erating for
'vagrants. The bricklayers ran from the building,
gave instant notice, the alarm bell was immediately
rung, and other precautions taken. The Prisoners
were secured, and are now all safely lodged in separate
cells.

William Thorby, lessee of the
,City tolls, and
contraaor for several other tolls, was conviacdp
on -Monday last, at the Hertford Assizes, for felo-
oiously stealing a parcel of Irish linen out of a
stage-waggon on the Hertford road. He was sen-
tenced to be transported for seven years. The
conviaion of this man, who is nearly the last of
a most, dangeroui gang, who, for several years,
have been in the habit of committing immense de-
predations on
.the public, and in a -way, against
which it is difficult to guard, will have the most
beneficial effeet. We trust tob, that the Proprie'
tors and Trustees of Tolls will in future be more
careful in their inquiries into the charaders of the
men who take their gates.
REMARKABLE OCCURRENCE.—In the night be-
tween Saturday and Sunday, the zith and izth
stant, part of a dwelling house • about three mile!
'from Castletown, in the Isle of Mann, fell in and
killed three people, viz. the owner, his wife, 06
daughter. The last was to have been married yes'
terday !--There were two sons belonging to the fa'
mily„ one of-whom was sleeping. in an out-house ;
the other was from home, but returning early Oil
Sunday morning, was the first who discovered the
tat accident. The father, who was in good cir-
cumstances, was frequently advised to rebuild hl
house, which had long been in a ruinous state;
but, on all such occasions, he said " the old house
would ierve his life time.".- .So it did.
