The English journals'of the 4.tli of Aug.' incite
tne People of London to cut the throat of Citizen
Otra, and no attempt has been ;wide to put an end
to this licentiousness, and punish those persons who
!bus seek to destroy the social relations.- What
„." it in the present age, in so enlightened a City as
-ondon, in a Nation so civilized as England, that
critties are permitted which inspire iuch indignation
and horror, when we- read the, recital of similar
attrocities in the history of the- Caribs, and Of the
most savage Nations ?

24th of December, planned by -the Jai-di:aril
Bishop of ARRAS and DUTHEIL, bought by the gold

sacred, either in the rights of Persons, or the rights
!I Nature, which certain English agents would not
tare to violate.
We say (‘ certain English agents,," for God for-

Whose private virtues all England acknowledges,,
Provocations and crimes, which belong to a few
- wretches of the charaCter of Mr. *l*****; and
,if
ever this assertion were treated in Europe as erro-
neous and calumnious; it would be easy for us to
give authentic and judicial proofs, that several as-
sassins, excited and paid by Mr. "Aim*, came
from Ectshma .Ipr vv nr-ur -were seized at
Parii, and have been detained in the Temple for
many mouths past. It is:
-not by their declarations
we obtain this knowledge, but by original and in-
controvertible documents.
After the charailer of an Ambassador, there is
hone more sacred than that of a Prisoner, and,
cordingly, these same Journals provoke to the as3as_
. sioation of their Prisoners. If ever, the ferocious
Editor of The-now, which, in his late numbers,
has discovered a soul more atrocious than' that of

t,ain sacred in England ? The Ministers would

LEGHGRIti; JULY z4..---EVety-thing is at present
in motion here for the purpose -of reinforcing the
Troops employed in the Siege of Porto Ferrajo, so
as to compel that place to surrender. Eight
vateers are fitted out to serve as Transports,: and to
ad offensively against the Enemy, The Besiegers
have been supplied with provistons, ammunition,
and some heavy artillery. It is` the DiVision tof
V ATILIK which carries on the siege of.Porto.Ferkajo.
General V.vrartr set off yesterday
.to superintend
the operations.
It is not true that an English Squadron has ap-
Pnred off Porte-Ferrajo. The only English Vessel
seen there was the Rose Cutter, the• Commander Of
which,. after some communication with the Chiefs
of the City, proceeded on his destination.
BitussELs, AUGUST 7.—All the Sailors making
part of the Maritime Conscription, who have been
raided in this City and the neighbouring Depart-
ments, are at length to be employed in the Service
of the State, and are now under escort for the pur-
pose of their. being condueted to Flashing, Ostend,
Dunkirk, and other Ports to which they are destined.
They write from the Frontiers of Holland, that
the I3atavian Government, wishing to deprive the
Enemy of all means of becoming acquainted with
the preparations and the other dispositions making
in Hd/and and the Isle of Zealand, will not alloW
any .boat or, individual coming from •England to.
enter .their Ports, under any pretext whatever.--

Dutch Fleet; is at present at He/vort.thrys:

HActu, Ave. t.—General AUG EREAU arrived
this morning at the Hague : it is believed that
some reformation will speedily take place in the
French Army. A Dutch Vessel has been stopped
at Flushing, it ivas bound from Zreasen to Middle.
burgh ; she put into Flushing on -account of corii
teary winds. The French Officers, of the Custom=
house, finding she war laden with English 'Contra.
band merchandize, took her to 'iltrt,zi:erp The
Batavian GoVernment contend that the condua of
the Custoin.house Officers is contrary to the Treaty
subsistin4 between the two Republics, and have
ordered Citizen SiummcLrExritcx to make some
remonstrances on the itibjed.
The English talk in their Journals of attack,
ing our Fleet in the Texel, but there is no reason
for apprehension, as
.it is impossible to bombard oar.

THE Dix ATR Comic Opera of Abroad
and at Home, the. first Dramatic Attempt of Mr..
HoLmAs, last night was performed for the first-
tune at. the Haymarket Theatre.--,There is more
merit in this' Piece than'in most sitriilar produetions
of- the day, It .was-not, altogether so welt cast
as at Covent-Garden Theatre, in which it: was
originally performed,
.bait on the whole it went off
with spirit: The. Afterpiece was The Corsair,
which retains iti, impression on the Public. Miss
MEic,A6E gave so much satisfaetion. in her /as semi,
that it was as usual encored.

.The following. circumstance is mentioned, and, if
true, not unworthy of remark :—A few days pre_
. vious to the death of the late Mr. JOHN PALMER,
• of Drury-lane Theatre,
,that Geptleman, while
walking in the Church-yard of Liverpool with
the &ceased Mr. Wzi.b, of Covent-garden, ob-
serving .upon the suitable situation of the ground,
Said that he Wotild like to have his body interred
in a particular part of it, which he pointed out
to.his companion. Mr. Witt) approved his choice,
and 'painting to an adjacent spot, made a similar
observation with
.respell to. himself. It. so hap-
pened, that in a 'very short time Mr. PALMER
hre..thed his last, and' was interred in the identical
place of which,. unmeaningly perhaps, he had made
choice ; and. WILD, who died last MOnday,
was on. Wednesday laid in the Very spot which so
many years ago attracted his. attention.
Several Pursers and Masters of Fishing Smacks
were yesterday surnmone4 before ithe Lord Mayor,
upon informution against them, for. not entering
their Vessels at the Coast. Office• Within three days
of their arriving at the Note, and giving in an 'ac.
count in writing of what fish they had brought to
market.' One of them was fined Sol. and the other
1201. agreeable to the‘ old AEI of Parliament on
which the informations were brought. The consi.
deration of the rest of the cases 'was put off to a, fu.
-cure day.

Wednesday last a journeyrrian Shoernakei was
brought before the. Sitting Alderman, charged by
his employer with spoiling some leather given 'him

Made by this man, and explained to the Magistrate
the deception used, by marking the heels and soles
with a machine which imitated stitches, when
there were actually very few real Stitches in the
Shoes, so that with very tittle westing they come, to

neyman was convicted, and sentenced to- three
months hard labour in Bridewell: •

On Thursday night, a woman in dies et loi Of
Mr: ANDIRStiNj •Of Holloway; 'was stopped in-
Maidenlanes by a single footpad and a bOy, and
robbed of three shillings and six.pence, and be_
cause she- had" not any more money, they would
have her clothes; and in taking•thernoff'they were
assisted by two women ; they completely stripped
her, and left her entirely naked, first having beat
her in a Most inhuman manner. The woman. had
.been sent by Mr. A*D'EItSON to fetch a horse froth
a field, and the horse going home without her,- he
