BIIIOIITON, JUNE a.

1

t

The, pleasant village of Rottingdeah has already to
boast of many iiishionablei,failies, who have taken
lodgings there for the whole of the summer season;
referring the retired and rural beauties of that. bil4l.
atiO4 to the splendour and bustle ofßrighton.
Rottingdean is remarkable. for the singular varia-
tion of its wells, which rise as the tide .declines, and
are nearly empty. at high water. The researches of
natural philosophy, hitherto, we believe, have not
been able to ~,certain the cause of this apparent con-
tradidion in the course of nature.

Lord HARROWBY left the Old Ship.for. London,
on Wednesday. A sudden indisposition of cue of
his children had caused his Lordship's visit here.
Last night both Libraries were crowded. Do-
NALDIWN% magnificent Steyne Lounge was the pro-
menade of the Ladies, until the assemblage became
too numerous for the walk.

Od Monday, the West Somerset Local Militia
had a grand field-day, at Sand-Hill Park, the seat
of Sir J. Lethbridge, on whiCh occasion the'raunton
Volunteer Rifle Coe attended, when the colours
were presented. ny Mrs. Lethbridge. Lient..COl.
Lethbndge, in delivering them to the Ensign, ex
pressed 1)1 ~self in an apposite energeticspeech.
Tins Address, made within hearing of the whole
regiment, and a considerabie. number of the most
respettable Gentry of the Western part of the coun-
try, was received with the most marked approbation,
• and rXeiteo the most'exhillrating emotion to every
• hosoul. The day was uncommonly fine, and after
manotuvering in a style which would have done
`honour ,even to veteran proficiency, several hogs.
'head. of beer, and 700 rations of bread and cheese
Were served out to the men. They left the Park
t five eeT6A . ; the 'licit proceeded to Taunton.
The satisfaction which attended this occasion,
'was, h'aCvei-et, interrupted by an event as trivial
as if. unhookedfor One of the 'Local.Militia
lien, on his march home, expressed himself very
contumeliously to his officer; who had remon-
strated with him on the impropriety. of quitting the
company to which he belonged, and emoodying
himself with another part of the Regiment. The
insolence of the man at length compelled the officer
to order him, with inverted arms, to march in the
rear of the reginietit op the arrival of which, at
Taunton, the man was °Memd to be taken in ens-
. Cody to the Barracks. Upon this a corporal stepped
forward, and avowing his determination to resist
this order, called to his comrades to support him in
such resolution. Lieutenants Colonel Hoban imam..
diately seized the fellow, who drew his bayonet,
and made a violent plunge at the Lieut.-Colonel,

trepidity which no praise can adequately represent,
suddenly interposed, and Made a thrust .at the
breast at the mutineer with his sword') which broke

without in a wound. The beut..Colonel
is wounded in the wrist, but we are very happy
to say by no Weans seriously. The ruffian who
made the above atrocious attack was secured. The
aid of a troop of Dragoons was solicited from a
neighbouring quarter, and aatly in the morning the
regunlint was disarmed; the ringleader punished,
and mercy extended to the less experienced and less
guilty, and tranquility b% this prudent determination
and systematic vigour cliettually restored.

Captain Barclay was pursuing his extraordinary
undertaking yesterday, htit as he proceeds the hopes
of, accomphshing.it get,more feeble. He has twelve
days more*, perform; under some disadvantages ;
and although, odds are.betted on WM, he has great
doubts of himself. The greatest inconvenience he
feels is from his feet and legs; and not sleep, as he
is enabled to get six hciiirt rest in the course of the
night. The Capfain will bet any sat against any.

A footrice was run yesterday, at Newcross; be.
tWilct Captain Agar, the celebrated mile rtinner, and
Mr.
,Swallow, who came up from Doncaster for
the match; which was fos one hundred guineas a-side.
The distance was, .one !rifle, and betting was in fa-
vour of the countryman. At Starting, Mr. Swallow
took the. lead at the rate of twelve miles an hour,
closely followed by his adVersary; until thet had.
gone half a ,mile, when the spirit of the race, com.
rnenced, by each making play. The Captain won
the match by about tour yards, and the mile was
performed in five minutes and acne seciandi. -
All the iehuism of the present day is set com-
pletely at defiance, by a performance of John Lep-
ton, of KepsWick, in the County of, York, Esq.
one of the Grootns of his Majesty's privy Chamber,

Sunday se'unighr,.the skim of (bin' foXes were ex-
hibited on the principal door of Greystoke Church,

Yesterday, as Lady Itvcaorr and-the young La.

street, Berkeley-square, the tore axietree broke at
the corner of, Charles. street, in the square ; the
coachman was pitched off his box on the pavement,
the horses took fright, and run furiously towards
Brutonatreet, but were fortunately stopped by a
Gentleman's coachman, when her Ladyship and the
young Ladies got out, without receiving any further
injury than the fright. The coachman was severely
bruised by the fall. •

The Rev. J. Kyle, Minister of the old Presbyte.

the deceased was in the habit of washing his feet at
the water side, and, horn his shoes and stockings
being off, it is conjettured that he bad been seized
with a fit when performing the operation. He was
etvetrzed by his congregation as a preacher of supe-
rior ab► lhies, and his loss is greatly regretted by all his
friends and acquaintance. A: Coronet's Jury returned

PICTURE of VIENNei wider the

VIENNA, JcNE 7.—To relieve the inhabitants of
this city, a part of the French troops have been
placed in barracks. ProviSions every day become
more scarce.—Flesh, breid, and other victuals ;
'even tobacco is become very scarce. The city guard
is hardly able to keep the populace in order, who
.crowd around the butchers, bakers, and wherever
eatables are purchased. The greatest agitation pre-
veils every where, and several thousands of indivi-
duals are wtthout.the means of support. The bankers,
who commonly held their meetings in St. Stephen's-
.
square, have been dispersed by the cavalry, and they
have been prohibited, on pain of severe punishment,
from assembling together. The inhabitants have
been ordered to deliver up all their arms and ammu-
nition. All fowling-pieces, too, havebeen given up.
Notwithstanding the great number of wounded in the
-hospitals, and other buildings, we have not heard of
any inteclious disorders.

'The following publication was on the £Bth of
May posted in this place :
" The arrival of supplies of Baur and grain being,
`nnderi the present circumstances, attended with uu-
avoidable difficulties, perplexities have of late arisen;
to provide the bakers, as well as the public at large,
with sufficienutiour and corn. But the most effec•
tual, arrangements having already been made to sup-
ply:the .deficiency, the public are not only hereby
made acquainted with the said consolatory intiirma-
tion, but also cautioned .irom un►imely anxiety not
to carry their claims on the trading part of the com-
'munity to any exorbitant height, and thus to trans-
mute an imaginary evil into a real one, nor disturb
`the public tranquility and' order by violent proceed-
ings. On this account, moderate allowances are for
• the present only delivered by the trades-people to the
different parties; and disthrbeis of the public peace
shall be punished with 'the utmost rigour warranted
by law. "

PROCLAMATION OF THE REGENCY OF
LOWER AUSTRIA.

We are informed that a great number of French,
Bavarian, Baden, Wirtemberg, and other Powers
allied with France, as well as several vagabonds,
persons without profession, and among them foreign
Jew's, inhabit the.capital and suburbs. We know
also that several deserters from the said Powers are
~laced as workmen. with.different ,private
persons.--
rite Regepcy of, LOwer Austria order, in cosier.
quence of a disposition.of his Majesty tho Emperor,
of the French, all the inhabitants ot the city and
suburbs to declare, within 04 hour ~.whether they
have, any deserters from the said States, whatever
their'nanw or condition, and whether they have not
given refuge to persons without any profession, va•
gabonds, and foreign Jews. Any who shall risk
concealing the above described individuals shall pay
a tine of 60 florins for each individual, and shall be
punished more severely, according to circum-
stances."

EXTRACT OP A PRIVATE LEVER FROM UDEVALLA,
IN SWEDEN, NEAR THE FRONTIER OP NORWAY,
DATED MAY 31.

" Three respectable Norwegian merchants arrived
here two days ago, GILBERT and CHRISTIAN GLUCK•
SON, brothers, and Mutt pitAISON, they report hav-
ing received private intimation from a Magistrate
near the seat of Government, of an order for their
arrest, on suspicion of treasonable pra6lices, and they
were fearful of being transported to Denmark, for
trial. They declare their own innocence, but ac-
knowledge that an extraordinary degree of resent-
ment prevails throughout Norway against the Danes,
for the annihilation of their trade, and that the loss
or suspension of it with Great Britain is attended
with most dreadful effeOs in every part of the wen-
try. These persons lost no time in making their
escape to this place, in an open boat, from the neigh-
bourhood of Holmstrand, over the Christiania
Channel."

-The following is} an extra( from a letter from the
Brazils, dated ltio'Janiero„April 8 „ .
Rice. is very dear, notwithstanding the fresh
crop is corning to market last; the increase of popu-
lation and newly raised troops consume a Vast quan-
tity more than heretofore, and the planters had not
reckoned upon such a great consumption ; hut now,
according to their custom, they will cultivate it in
abundance; and generally when any article is parti-
cularly. low they neglect it entirely. At Santos, a
small port about too leagues to the Southward, rice
is in greater abundance than here. Tobacco is sel-
dom or never exported from hence, excepting to
Africa and Pernat»buco. Batria supplied the mother
-country, the quantity grown there being considera-
ble, and the quality generally good. Hero it is very
bad, exoept what comes from the neighhourhood of
Mapendi, in the distria of Minas Comes, froM
'whence some good 'cotton is brought in serons, and
sells for nearly as much as Pernanthnco; that pro-
duced here is very bad.
. The population of this city is not known oven
by the. Government, but since the arrival of the
Court, it is very much increased # not perhaps, from
this circlunstanc.e altogether, but from the natural
effeta of a certain degree of Apirit and emulation,
that the inhabitants of this part of the world have
taught since the arrival of so many Europeans, and
tempted by the cheapness and the variety of goods
brought by the English for sale, the trade of the
country hatk increased, and the purckasers from the
interior are more numerous, and make larger in
vestments than formerly. The cities of the interior
where most goods are.sent from hence, are, St. Paul,
Santos, Santa Caterfna, San Sebastian, San Salvador
de Campos, Ciudad de Manana, Guayazas, jjjo
frande, and Potto Alegre::

John Harrison, the watchman of the beat, stated,
,• that while on his duty, he found the area-gate of
Mr. Warner's house open, and on looking down,
saw the kitchen shutters cut, and the WindoWs

on trying the street door, he iouhci it open, and dis-
covered in the passage a tea-urn; and
.other articles
