foiltlGPv* INTELLIGENCE.

~.ntatuk, s.—:Count HAtioilTz eerta-aily
Tarried with him to BOghl'AltT'S head-quarters
proposals for a general Pacification, to be negotiated
at the 'sate • time-, iii .iiOre continental City, not
distant .from the Rhine ; but he was answered :by.
tV.A..gYRAND, " that frani the .length of time re-
quisite to arrange the 'affairs Of ..Europe, previously
to' the Treaty of. Munster, the Emper6r: of. tht
French hael. determined, never to .put the fate 'of
Nations; which. must always, Le determined by. If 'ar-
riors, Into the hands of DipleMatists and Plenipo-
tentiaries : that NAPOLtON the First wished :siiicerety
for a general Peace, and that the Temple of Tama
might be shut during the remainder of his reign;
but, that he has resolVed .to negotiate with each of
his foes separately, as the only means tti conclude
Treaties as expeditiously as to
,gain Vidories, dissolve
Coalitions, :and finish Campaigns. -The Congress
of Rastadt had besides shewn the impossibility to
negotiate ert masse."

A private Letter from Hamburgji, of the Bth,
contains' the following paragraph :

• " Yesterday BOURRIE4NEi PONAPARTE'S ErnissAry here,
caused the whole editions of the French and German transla-
tions of " The Memoirs of Tallecrand," and of " The Female
Revolutionary Plutarch," to be seized,_ and the Printer is still,
in custody. Such is the oppression here, that a Bookseller
who soli a ballad, in which the BON'AP ART E- Dynasty was
ridiculed, has been fined one thonsandmarks, and condenmea
to three months imprisonment. Theliarlieror of the French
may (lease to tight Cabine'ts, but he Certainly will never be
in peace with Printing-offices."

Mi. DAN4SO.;I'S Letter in: our 'Paper of yesterday,
forcibiy shows the folly of attending to anonymous
charges and-insinuations. This Gentleman hai,been
repeatedly urged by anonymous assailants to account
for the money subscribed for a Naval Pillar, and these
secret assassins of reputation endeavoured to make the
world believe that he had employed it 4-Or own advan-
tage. If thesestabbers in the dark had thought proper
to inquire, instead of accusing, they would haVe found
that, as Mr. DAytsoN states, " the money received
has been uniformly put out at interest for the benefit
Of. the Fund and that if the matter his been
otherwise, the Committee, and not Mr. DAVISON,
would have teen responsible. "Oh ! shame, where
is thy blush !" ,

Master BETTY'S Douglas, drew a very numerous
Audience to Covent-garden Theatre last night. He
*as Much applauded, but hot more than' CooKE,
who gave a masterly portrait of Glenalvon, which is,
indeed, one of, his very best efforts in the art.
-The Miss 'SEYMOUR -Who has excited so much
competition for Guardianship; is, according to all'
accounts, 'a young Lady of the most promising ta-
lents, with an- extraordinary aptitudte for those studies
which arc calculated to embellish the' female cha-
raeter.

If report may be trusted, CHERRY, in his new
Opera of The'Travellers, will amply compensate.for
his dramatic failure last year. Ile is '.much esteem.:
ed by his brethren_ of the Sock and buskin, and' it
may therefore be expeEted that they will do all they
can to insure success.to his produCtion„ • '
An Irishman was lately brought before ..a Magi
strate in the West of England, on a charge of having
six wives. The Magistrate,
asked him how he could

Aa event has recently happened. which must be
a source of considerable anxiety to the female world,-
Not to keep our fair readers in suSpense, we have,tO
afinourice the death of Sir Joint DINELY, the roman-
tic Amoroso of eighty, .who for ' many years offered
his hand in marriage, through -the 'medium Of the
Public Prints; and who, acccrding to his own deserip.
tion, was at ,the meridian of youth and leauty.
It is said that a Certain Peer who has been divorced
from his wife is so inuch in love with her, that he
wishes to renew his vows of eternal Alelit? It is
very seldom that real life presents a Sir Basiful

The American Ship Maria, Captain H/GC4-14:5,
which left Charleston so late as the 25th ult. is ar-
rived in the Rivet. The Papers received by this
conveyance contain some severe animadversions on
the condu& of Gen. AHMStIiONG, the Arrierican Mi-
nister at Paris, for Ilis:prddelietion in favour of
France, evidently .disphiyed hi one of his Letters, on
the sUbjea. of the Capture of an American Vessel
by a French Citiiier; under . pretence of the Ship
being a British bottom. .A. Vessel froth Virginia

with due caution by the Public.
• Two hien of genteel appearariee, about four
o'clock yesterday:afternoon, knocked .at Airs. Wil-
kinson's d 16r in South Holton-street, and desired
to look at ..the lodgings. Mrs. Wilkinson spewed
'them up to the first fioor;.,which was to lett: They
-wanted to see thebed-room ;. the door being locked,
they said, if they saw the second floor; they would
'be' able to judge of the size of the apartnient ; one
of them- walked up stairs Mrs.Wtlkinson followed;
and the other remained in .the, dining-room, :till
companion' said,", lc' Bob; -vq don't you come
when he ran up stairs after him. Mrs: Wilkinson
hearing something jingle in his pocket, charged him,
with having taken something out of the room, and
laid hold of his coat. The man who went first. up
ran by, and made 'his escape;, the other took three
'silver spoons and a pair of silver tongs out of his
pocket, and laid them
.down; saying, " I have no-
thing of yours." He then forced past Mrs. Wilkin-
son, ran down stairs, 'and made his escape i:ito
Verrott's HOtel, tower Brook street, went into a
rOorn w.liere a woman servant was sitting, and taking
hold of 4.cr by the arm, said; "get Me pen and ink !"
Being frightened, she ran to call her master, Mr.
Perrott; and, in mean time, he pulled off his
coat, and.threw it under a bed in the room, and
ran to the.street-door.to inquire what was the Ma-
tter- By this time a lodger of Mi-s Wilkinson's had
reached the-daot, acid said, " you are the fellow !"
he was accordingly secured, and taken to MarlbO-
roughstreet, and was committed for fiirthei e3tarni-
nation. He gave a very incoherent account of him-
oe' if, and -is supposed is lie an old offender.,

E'EDJTOROFTIES it

SIR,

I .have read; Withriut hutch pleahlre Or aptirob
tion, the various accounts of Splendid Monuinenti
and Pillars td. be erebed in demnieditiratioti of the,
late Laval Yit9orieS. There seetuS to he a puerility
in such plans; and I think they have. seldbm been
adopted in any couritty till. its inhabitant had passed
the acme of valour and: plain manly sentiment : and
perhaps if this fancy is analysed it will be found to
Oqrry along With It an idea Of reposing oUrselvet in-
satisfaCtion with what has been done, Vntlioui a hope
of ever equalling it hereafter.
Besides the aboVe considerations, the Very great
waste of money, time; and labour; is an obvious
and a weighty objeCtiOn. In London indeed, and
some other great.towns,. there seems tO be mote of
these than they know how to spend Or Make use of.
It is very common; when one -finds fault; to ba
asked if we have any thing better to propose.
To be brief- then, Mr. Editor,--arid waste kid more
of my own time, yriur's, Or that of the Ptiblic, my
plan is; to let our Heroes, NELsorz and STRAcitAN;
live in letters of oak, if we cannot trust to the hearty
and memories of the present race and of posterity.
To hearts of oak, perhaps, thisMotiument would be
equally gratifying : I would propose, therefore; al
a substitute for the Naval Pillars above-Mentioned;
to lay out the money contributed- for them in pur-
chases of waste lands to toe planted with•oak, form 4
ing letters.and-words recording
.these Viaories ; and
I think it would be useful this idea were adopt-
ed_ by Country Gentlemen who have waste lands.
The history might be short or long,' according to
the' richness of the fund, Thus, NELSON and
STRACHAN destroyed. nearly the whole Combined
Fleets of France and Spain, anno 1805 ;" or" NEL-
SON and STRACHAN took twenty-three Ships of the
Line, ilicc." or " NELSON'S Victory, anno 1805."--;
A: shoat history of this kind would- read Well on a
hill side, as one travelled along the country, and
would greatly ornament many a -barren waste,
MoreoVer it would look, Mr. Editor, as if we in-
tended, when necessary, to do so again ; and a Ship
built 200 years hence from such a plantation would
carry the memento along with it. -
Should the above hint be taken,' it Would suffi-
ciently repay the trouble of-
