Two Arabian Sheicks, habited as Dervizes, ar.
rived at Semlin, on the igth of November; on
their way Id London.

The solemn occupancy of the Pontifical See,
st.bieh was fixed for the zzd of November, did
not take place, in •constquenCe of the badness of
the weather, until the 2.4.. h. This 'ceremony, at
which' were present the Archduchesi MARIAtiA,
and aii the Diplomatic Body, was of the most
splendid description.- , His Holiness distributed
'upon the cimsion about 10,000 crowns worth of
Bread Co the ?oar.

From Brittyri learn, that the. Scheldt has
O':erflowed in several parts : several other rivers:of
Belgium, swelled by the excessive rise of the waters,
have also overflowed,../Ind have caused great inunda.
tionx. Fields; and even villages, are under water.
The frost; which commentedjestetday, gave us
hopes that the effects, of the inundation will not be
more dististrotis:

We are informed from.Peenyrip; of date the lid,
(DEC i 3,) that the American Ship Felicity, of i 54
tons iprthe 1, Captain JOHN KINO Commander,
from Baltimore; which, she: left Nov. sth, laden
with eoffe4, cotton, Vittinia tobacco, and logwood,
4 'und to Feel:7llp, was wrecked at six o'clock in
the evening of that day, to the West of the Port ;
luckily none of the people were lost, and it is hoped
that the cargo will be saved. " -
Pa.amA, Nor. 17.----We are under the greatest
uneasiness on account of the extraordinary rise of
-the Pot The bed of this river, from Piacenza to
its junainn with the Adriatic, is eight. or ten feet
higher than the level of the adjacent country, and
Would constantly lay it under water, but for the
'Works raised by act: In the months of October
i gi and
..1.79i, thete was a great inundation of
the Pa, because the mound on its left bank broke
two leagues' above Piacenza. The waters inunda-
ted several villages in an extent of eight leagues ;
threw 'down houses, laid waste the manufactures,
and. divided the mad from Milan to Piacenza.—
That misfortune, though a very great one, was still
inferior to that which took place in 170 s ; but the
yi(ilent and incessant rains that prevailed froth the
27th ult. to the 3d inst, and those which have sue-.
ceeded since, at• intervals, have produced a rise of
• 20 inches beyond .that which took place at the be-
' ginning of the last century. : Frightful has been
the devastation : the three Borgim of Mezanci,
- situated between the river of Parma and the Po,.
hive-been twelve feet under water. Coperrnio, one.
mile below Colierno, inhabited by the Infant, has
also been under .water. Lazari has been inun-
. dated, and all the rivers which ustiallY, empty
themselves into the Pu have quitted their beds and
overspread the plain. The town of Guasralla is in .
the midst .of an inundatiotil which the Crostolo
threatens still to increase. Ibis dreadful state of
affairs lasted a week, during
,which time all com-
munication from one side of the Po to the other
became impracticable, and our peasants were oc.:
cupied in preventing the .breaking of the dykes in
other parts, and in saving the inhabitants and the
cattle ; but yesterday morning the river began to
fall i, and, in the evening, we could go from Milan
to Piacenza. We learn also that the Milanese has
expetienced great damage by the overflowing of the
rivers, . What we, know already of the injury done
to the Infant's States, makes us fear for the other
parts of Italy.

The unfortunate MAutticg WILL/ Ams, whose
Melancholy-exit at the Hummuins we mentioned in
our last Paper, was on Thursday recognized by a
waiter of the Cecil-street Coffee-house, . who recol-
leaed that the unhappy Gentleman had lodged
at his master's about six weeks, where he was con-
siderablyin,debt. He was also recugnized by some
Gentlemen who knew Mr. WILLIAMS.. They gave
him a' very favOurable charatier ; said that he was
the son of a respedable Gentleman, who left him a
handsome sum ; and that WILLIAMS himself had
been an Army Agent. It appeared, however, that
he had been very prodigal of his property ; came to
London for the purpose of improving his deranged
finances, and that instead of accomplishing his
wishes, he fella viaiin to Sharpers and Black Legs,
the misery of Which urged him. to his dreadful
catastrophe.

Their Bath Majesties, RICHARD TYSON and
JAMES KING - have bicen lately addressed, through
the medium cfa Public Print, to exert their authority
in the expulsion of certain Upstart Tradesmen of Bath
from their Dominions of the Public Rooms. A Gentle-
man states, that these exceptionables have mixed with
the People of Fashion, and-that one, at a Public Assem-
bly, had the impudence to ask a young Lady of family
to go down a dance with him.; and that this young
fellow had, that very morning, been waiting on the
said family with an assortment of ribbons and laces,
&c. Ste. The father of the Lady, in his remon-
strance to their Bath Majesties, mentions it as an
immemorial .custom, that " the Ball-rooms of Bath
are open to the well-dressed Stranger from every
part .of the Globe, and to its independent inhabi-
tants, andprolessional residents ; but that,the trad-
ing. part of the City, however reputable, should
never presume to enter theM."
A few nights since Mr. Blanchard, of Norwood,
was robbed of what money he had about him by.
three footpads, on Herne Hill, Lambeth : -the first
that attacked him he knocked,down ; but the others
oyerpow.exred him, thinking that he had a kribw--.
ledge of them, drew a knife and proposed Cutting.
his.throat, that he might not tell any tales :.their
intention was frustrated by a man on hOrseback
providentially coming up at the instant, when the
villains made a precipitate retreat. •

!LAM REPORT':

COUILT OF 'CHANCERY. DEC. 24.

iLoprtON;r.

. .
IN obedience to the Order -o LORD cHAN
CELLOR, WILLIAM WOODMAN illfivafed in Court,
to answer for having elo_ted with,and Married-. EL i-
ZABETELBAiIIUItbTy a Ward of the Court. Mr.
WOODAN. preferred an Affidavit in his Behalf, is
. which he - Stated; that he had bea apprenticed to a
respeflable tradesman of.. the name of Walsh, at-
Plymouth that 6e had duly served the peri64 of
hiS alipienticeShip, and was now of -the .age of 23
,years ; that his father was a man Of property, and
had retired from business', possessed of lands- and
tenements . to a Considerable. amount ; that in the
montli of February last he beedme acquainted with
Miss BA:il-lint'ST, whoSe father in his life-time
Was an eminent bookseller in London ; that .a
mutual attachment was the Consequence of their
acquaintance ; that they determined to marry,
and 'to accomplish their design, went to the Island
of Guernsey, where they were married by a Clergy-
. Man Of that place. He added, that he had some
reason to believe Miss BA-rautiST was a young
Lady of property, but • did not know she was, a
Ward Of Chancery, or possessed of the sum of
36,0001.

The CHANCLLOR said, he understood Mr.
WOorviAN's father and brother had• assisted his
elopement with Miss BATHURST, and accompanied
them to Guernsey. This he conceived had the ap-
pearance of a family concern. His Lordship or-
dered Mt. WoonNIAN to stand committed to the
Fleet, till. the, Master should report on the fidand
circumstances of his marriage ; and he assured him,
if he suffered his wife to visit him, it would consi-
derably protraft the period of his imprisonment.—
He also said, if his father and brother should appear
to have been implicated with him, he should like-
wise commit them to the Fleet.

Mr. WOODMAN was then conveyed to the Fleet.

COURT OF KING's BENCH, DEC. 24.
SITTINGS BEFORE LORD NE:tIYON AND A SPECIAL JURY

AT GUILDHALL, 'LONDON.

Stv BAAL causes stood in the Paper, for the day,
but two of them were referred. In one there was
no record, And in 'the other the record was with.
drawn. One was ordered to stand over on the ab_
sense of a material Witness

Lord 42NYON observed, there were many causes
remaining untried, and therefore it appeared to
him to be tight there should be some Sittings be.
fore the next Term, in order that the parties con.
cerned in these causes, should not ,be disappointed
in their expedation in having judgment of the last
Term. His Lordship expressed his readiness to
accommodate the suitors of the Court with' two,
or, if necessary, three days sitting before the next
Term, for.his objet was to prevent, as much as he
was able, the delay of Justice. The businesS of these
Sittings had been uncommonly heavy and laborious,
they could not now be carried further, and there-
fore he thought it would be well to appoint the
zoth, ztst and zzd of January 'fot Sittings to try
the causes that now remained.

Mr. PARK said, he believed it would not be ne-
cessary to' haie three day's allotted for this *pur-
pose, two would be sufficient ; and he submitted
that they should be the Zist and the •21d. •
Mr. LOW:EN, his Lordship's Associate, sug-
gested, that it would be sufficient, for the present,
to appoint the .2ISt). and the Sittings might be con-
tinv4l the following day, if necessary ; which Was
ordered accordingly, and therefore the Sittings will
be at this place" on the 2 Ist of January next, at the
usual hour of
,nine in the morning.

HUGHES V. LORD GROSVENOR.

This was the only cause opened this day, and
which was opened byMr. Glass on the part of
the Plaintiff, and evidence, given, and opened also
on the part of the Noble pefendarit by Mr. Ex_
SKINS. It was an a6tion brOught on the balance of
accounts, as they stood between Mr. Hughes, the
Plaintiff, Mr. Lang Worthy, who was agent for
Lord Grosvenor, in his thineral and lead concerns.
It was at last agreed, that the whole question in
dispute should be left to the determination of Mr.
VAUX and Wir:l3-altwgLL, who, of course, are to
chuse a third, if that should be necessary. •
The Sittings were then adjourned to the 21st of
January, 1802.
