Front t. FRENCH and DUTCH PAPERS'.

?Anis, MARC!! 2i ~••77-We have received oflicidl
intelligence 'frotn the Isles of France and nounitni,
dated Oa. 25, 11306. These Colonies are in a very
flourishing situation. A very large supply.6f provi
sions, anus, and werchandiie, have very fortunately
arrived there. •

The Colonists, penetrated with love and.admira-
tion for the Emperor, had fornierly express the
Nish that the lAle of Reunion should take the nhtne
of Isfe. Napoleon, and had, requested the Captain-
General,to lay this request at the fo6t of the Throne.
The Frigate La SemillaT:te, Captain MorAm'
h?d taken three kiCh English prizes in the month of
Odober.

We learn that General DESJARbINS, 'WIIO Foal-
mdnded, the first division of the first corps of the
Arniy, and Who was removed to Landsberg, in con.-
sequence of a wound received at the battle of Eylau,
died there a few days after.
The Depiaties froth the Dutch Jews, and those of
frankfort on the Maine; have been admitted into
the Sanhedrin ; and have declared, in the name of
theii Constituents, that they will adhere to the doc-
trinal detisions of the great Sanhedrin of France and
Italy The President answered both of them in
Hebrew; congratulating them upon their resolutiOns;'
and the Assembly also, on seeing them in its bosom;
and himself likewise, upon the occasion of haVing
to answer the Co-religionists cif a Community so
highly distinguished for their known piety, and go-
verned at present by a just and liberal Prince, from
whom the friends of " humanity have every thing to
hope and expert. In fine, he felicitated himself
upon having to congratulate the Deputies of 'a coun-
try where an equal participation .in the common
rights of men had long since rendered its inhabitants,
and. the Israelites also, equally, as industrious as the,
rest of the Citizens. Thet President afterwards pro-
nounced a discourse in French; which made a very
sensible impression upon the Asserithly, and in
which he gave full scope to the sentiments of gra-
titude towards the great man whom Providence has
chosen to be the instrument of its benefits
,and ot
its miracles. He expressed very sanguine hopes re-
lative to the salutary influence which the august
Assembly and its labours would ' have upon the fu-
titre destiny of the Jews. Atter having expressed
the sentiments of his eternal devotion to all his col-
leagues who had been convoked by the voice of this
great man, from the Pyrennees to the borders of the
Maine, and from the shores of the Adriatic to the
Zuyder Zee, to term a religious Assembly, unpa-
ralleled , in the annals of modern history ; and hav-
ing done justice to the talents of the two Assessors,
he paid, in the name of the Sanhedrin, a tribute'of
just homage to the Commissaries of his Majesty the
Emperor and King, viz. M. M. PORTALI3; .MOLEi
PASQUIER, &c. whose assiduity, zeal, and indul-
gence, had so powerfully contributed to the success
of the common cause.

M. FURTADO afterwards proposed, that before
the Assembly separated, they should pass a , vote
of thanks to the Chief of the Grand Sanhedrin,
for the manner in which he had acquitted himself
of his funaion; which was immediately adopted
.by acclamation. M..MtcHEL BERR then read.,the
Process Verbal ; and the President concluded by
'announcing that the sittings of the Sanhedrin had
closed.

. ST. PIERRE, ISLE OF OBERON, MARCH 7.--The
EngliSh Ship Pigmy, of 2,16 tons burthen and 45
men, Captain H, HiodulsoN, was wrecked on the
sth instant, on the casternpart-of t!%is Island The
vessel went to pieces; the crew saved.. The Cap-
tain declared that his orders were to look into the
road, and that through the of the pilot the.
vessel went ashore. A boat belongin?, ,to one of
the Enemy's cruizers, which 'approached for the
purpose of taking the men off the wreck, upset, and
every one in her was drowned., . •

OSTERODE, MARCH 4.---Yestrday au attack was
made upon every point of the Russian advance
posts. Marshal NEl`, 'supported by General Ml-
nAtip's division and some other corps, entered
Guttseadt by force, where the seized '16,000 rations
of bread, 18 tons of meal, 400 sacks of oats, &c.
Marshal SOULT passed the Passarge near Liebstadt,
and approached Worniditt ; to-day his bead-qua*
teWare at Dretrechsdorf, on the. other side of the
River. The Prince Powrz CORVO advanced at the
same time against Mohisack, after having_ crossed the
Passarge near Holland: it is- thought that the Etn,
peror, after giving the Russians this new lesson, will
order his troops to retire into winter-quarters. The
third corps of the army, whose head-quarters are to-
day- at Liebstadt, was to at as a • corps de reserve,
but its services were not wanted.

HOIIENSTEIN, FEB. 28.—The following is the
situation of the Grand Army, according to the last
accounts :—The Prince PONTE CORVO occupies
Braunsburgh, Elbing, Frauenburgh, Holland, and
the whole coast up to the mouth of .the Passarge,
which river covers the van of his army; Marshal
SoULT occupies Liebstadt, Mohringen, and Lieb-
muhl and Marshal NET, Guttstadt, Heilsburgh,
and Allenstein, at which place he'has fixed his head-
quarters. Marshal DAVOUST is at Holienstein and
Gilgenburgb, and keeps an • attentive eye upon
Wirtemburgh, PasSenheim, Orfelsburgh,
burgh, the Sources of the Passarge, the Me, and
the Omeleff ; this last river, by the channel of the
Narew, empties itself into the Vistula, and the two'
first run into the Frisch Haff. Marshal MASSENA'S
corps guards the shores of the Narew. The corps
that was. under Marshal AUGEREAU is incorporated
with the rest of the army.
The Enemy's line extends ahing Seckburgh, Bis-,
choffsburgh, Barteustein, and Konigsburgh. When
the letters were written, from. which we have ex-.
traded these particulars, the Imperial head-quarterr'
were at Osterode ; but every thing seemed to indi=
cate a general movement.

General OUDINOT'S division passed through here
yesterday, and to-day it is in motion to pass the
Passarge, and compel the Enemy to retreat. The
left wing of the French army have, ibr three days
past, been combating the Enemy with manifest
advantage; 5000 prisoners, and eleven pieces of
cannon, are the fruits of this period. The third
corps of the army is approaching Osterode, where
the Imperial Headquarters have been for these ten
days past.
MADRID, MARCH 4.---Tht fbllowing Proclama-
tion has A:een published by,order of his Highness

tte, NiNcE pf PEACE, Grand AOmira! aiut G e ri;
ralissimo of his Majesty's Forces by land and sea :

"• From the moment that England committed
the atrocious crime of intercepting the Royal frigates,
and violated tbe good faith by 'peace assures
privateproperty and the laws. pfnations, his IVii&s7
ty considered himself as at gar with tha.; Power.—
His Royal dignity, how,ever, induced him to sus-
pend' the publication ofa Manifesto until it was de!.
trionStrated that the atrocity exercised upon his sea-
men was authorised ,and supported by the English
Government. His Majesty then declared to his sub-
jests the nature of the war I:vhfCli subsisted betweenl
Spain. and England, but Withotit explainingjo theni
the extent of the reprisals whiCh,they were to make.
Upon an 'eOemy,,who tend so openly violated the sa7
erect, laws of property, and the rights of nations.. In
such a situation, ail kinds of commercial conneetion
became naturally_Suspended, and the principles of
honour alone werk sufficient to cause every sort of
communication, even , the most indireEt, •to re-
jetted. Even avarice would not. countenance
any connetlion so repugnant to honeuiablefeelingi,
His Igajesty, convinced 9f the sentiments of honour
and fidelity by which all classes of, his subjects are
• •
animated; feels it incumbent upon him still to re.,
Move every pretext'of ignorance with regard to his'
express intentions in this respeEt, the execution of
which will be strialy,enforced, to declare, that all
English property, under 'whatever flag it shall be
found, even that of neutral nations, shall be rigo-
rously seized, if, consigned to Spanish merchants.---
In the same manner, all merchandiie intended, fer
Great Britain, or her Colonies,. though freighted in
neutrals, shall be seized. In short, his Majesty in-
tends, by thepresent Decree, to conform himsellfully
to the spirit of that Declaration which his Ally; the
Erriperor of the French, has, on principles of retalia-
tion, and for the honotir of his Crown, found him-
self obliged to publish on the !list of November;
10.06. . The execution of the present Order is cOm•-;
mitted to the Governois, of ProvinceS, and the 'prin-
cipal Officers in the different departmenta and ports.
In transmitting it to them, in the name of. hit:. Ma-
jesty, I rely upon their zeal to enkirce it." •
" ARANjuEi, 19; 1837."

BERLIN, MARCH n.—According to..a letter from
Stockholiu, the Editor of the Court Gazette had in-
serted. an article; in which it was said, that the Rus-
sians had won three battleS of the French in the
course of a year,
_namely, Austerlitz, Pulaisk, and
but the King,. who still resides at Malmoe,
sent an answer to this article, in which he said,-
" that the Gazette writer had very much deceived
himself, if he thought to make his,court to his Ma-
jesty, by tarnishing the glory of the French ; and
that in future, sotrithing more than words would be
necessary to oppose the enemy."

EPITAPH
ON Tuk
LATE LIEUT., GEINZ. SIMCOE.

DY ANNA SXWARP.

To deck lamented SIMCOE'S hallow'd tomb,
Bid all thy laurels; 'sacred Honour, bloOm !
Depriv'cl Britannia, o'er thy Warrior's bier,
Veil the droQp'd head, and bend th' inverted spear I
Genius and Art; your greenest wreaths bestow,
And here; Religion, shall thy amaranths blow I
Connubial Bliss, thy thornless roses bring, ,
'l'hat shed o'er wintry lite perpetual spring !
' Friendship, and Filial Duty, blend your tears,
, Poiir'd o'er the memory of departed years
Here, O. ye Virtues, spread your palms divine,
This once Warm bosom was your chosen shrine I
But, since nu g.:m escapes the sullying vein,
No rtdiant sun the slightly dark"hing Stain,
Some spots of frailty in that soul mi§ht rise,
Whose,altering form, here cold and silent lies.
Now, from his earthly bound for ever freed, -
Angel of Mercy for thy Votary plead,
Till Love-Redeeming wash his stains away,
Ope the bright pate, and give the night less Day !
Lichfield, Feb. 1, r807.'

Mr. SHARP'S attack, the other night, in the House
of Commons, upon the New Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, partook more of his new than his old trade.
It certainly- was not felt.
THE THEATREg.—Drury Lane Theatre opened
again last night with the Comedy of The West Indian;
and the admired afterpiece. of Tekeli. Covent Gar-
den Theatre resumed its operations with the popular
new Comedy of Town and Country, and the very
attraetive Pantomime of Mother Goose. • •

- SADLER'S WELLs.—This Theatre, which is one
of the established places ofentertainment of the me-
tropolis, commenced for the season last night with
some pleasant interludes and recitatives written by
the DIBDINS, and, as usual, a good Pantomime, of
which GRIMALDI was the chief prop, though he
was afterwards to attend the necromantic court of
Mother Goose,. at Covent Garden.
ROYAL AMPIIITHEATRE.—The chief novelty at
this place, last night, was a Pantomimical Ballet,
founded upon the'old story of The Yellow Dtvarfl
The Theatre has been embellished, and the ward-
robe greatly itoproved.
THE ROYAL CIRCUS.—Very great improvements
have been .made at this place during the vacation.
It opened List night with the usual kind of enter-
tainments, and a new,Grand Serious Ballet, of which
the bet °me is Mrs. WYBROW, a person of some dis-
tinalion in the pantomimic world.

The new Piece of The Wood Damon is the pro-
dilation of .Mr. Limn, the Author of The castle
Spectre. With a modesty rarely found among Au-
thors, particularly of the dramatic order, he has '
submitted his Piece entirely to the judgment of the
Manager and the contrivances of the Mechanist.—
It is said to be a produation peculiarly well calcu-
lated to gratify the taste of this wonder-loving age.
There was no court gf Aldermen held to-day,
but.the Lotito MAYOR, after iuspeating the return of
the Meal Weighers, ordered the price of Bread to
remain as last week.

It is mentioned that Governor DUNCAN comes
home from India; that Major-General' MAITLAND
is to succeed him in the . Government of Bombay ;
that Mr. PHILIP DUNDAS is to succeed • General
MAITLAND at Ceylon; that MI. JOHNSTONE is to
succeed Mr. DuNDAS in the Government of Prince
of Wales's Island; and that Sir JOHN CRADDOCK'S
successor, as Commander in Chief of Madras, will
w.company General HEWITT and his staff.

THE EPPING HUNT.---That noble recreation' for
the City youths was supposed to have been lost lin-
ever;as there waj not any hunt last year. Yesterday,
however, one of the small black-faced Deer was
turned out of Wanstead Park. It ran across the
Forest, and was closely pursued by a few of l`tlz
Burrell's hounds ; a number of other dogs of all de-
scriptions followed at idistancz, or proke in at inter-
vals upon the regularity of the chace In short, it
was a greater burlesque upon hunting than was ever
seen, even at Epping, until yesterday. There were
very few people present, from the supposition already
mentioned, that the hunt v.:as given over. In the
suburbs the up-and-downs, round-abouts, jack-a
racing, and all the usual sports of the lower Order of
people, went forward with as much glee as on any
preceding holiday.

Letters from Lisbon inform us, that the celebrated
BARTOLOZZI,' notwithstanding his advanced ape of
82 years, continued to enjoy good health, and is en-
gaged in giving to the world fresh proofs of his su-
perior abilities. The Massacre of thelnnocents, by
GUIDO B.HENI, has latelybeen engraved by hitrywitn
his usual delicacy and expression : it is intended to
form a part of the French' Museum. An Engraving
of the Narcissus of Viegra will also soon make its •
appearance ;' the figures only
_will be executed by
BARTOLOZZI ; the landscape will be by LE CONTE.
With particular satisfaCtion we learn from the Same
letters, that the merits of this celebrated Artist have
at last met with the honourable rewards they have
so long deserved : the Prince Regent has made him
a Knight of the Order of Christ, and presented him
with the insignia of the Order set in diamonds.
On Saturday last, as the Lady of Mr-: WlLLiams
(a Candidate for tilt present vacancy in the East-
India Direction) was going from Mill-hill to Hendon,
in her chariot, accompanied by two of her children
and a Gentleman, the coachman drove against a cart
on the road : • the shock was so violent that it threw
him from the box: the horses being much frightened,
soon disengaged the carriage, and went off at full
speed. The road along which the vehicle bad to pass
was so extremely narrow, that at any time it required
great caution to drive with security; notwithstanding
which, the. carriage was not overturned. The horses
having to pass another cart, they had
though- they, were going at the rate of 20 miles an.
.hour, to pass on one side of it, but so near that the
handle of the chariot door was struck off by a colli-
sion with the wheel. Mr. WILLIAMS WZS at a fliend.s
house'ou the road when his chariot passed, and al-
most fainted on seeing his wife and children in sc,
perilous a' situation. Mrs. WILLIAMS shrieked for
assistance to no purpose; the Gentleman in the car-
riage contrived to open the door and jump our, by
which means he'escaped unhurt. The horses still
continued their pace; the flapping of the door tended
to increase their speed, ,until they came to a narrow
part of the road, when providentially the dour of the
chariot became entangled in the hedge, which stopped
for a moment the career of the animals, but they SOOll
ran off again with great rapidity ; they broke all
the traces, .leaving the carriage behind, and form-
nately Mrs. WILLIAMS and her children received no
injury whatever. They suffered much, however,
from the alarm. The-coachman was taken up with
three yibs .brnken, and so violent a contusion on his
head, that his recovery is despaired of.
Died,onStinday evening, at his father's hoeFe,
after a few days illness; in the ist year of his as 2e,
THOMAS GRAHAM, eldest son of JAMES GRAHAM,
Esq. of Portland-place; .a
'youth of exemplary con,
duct, whose untimely death will be severely:telt and
lamented by his parents and numerous friends.
