. .
Tut Duke of Sussex arrived here last night, at
eleven o'clock. His Royal Highness will accom.
patty his Royal Brother on his visit to Ragley. The
Duke, after remaining there for a few days. returns
to this Place, where he proposes for some weeks to
fix his residence.

The Prince of WALES leaves Cheltenham on Sa-
turday morning, for Ragley. He proceeds from
thence to Warwick, and aftewailds to Bet keley Cas-
tle. The. Earl of B. has invited the Corporation of
Gloucester to dine with his Royal Highness, at his
splendid mansion, on Wednesday the 23'd inst. The
Prince will take Cheltenham on his way to London,
but the term of his stay, ou this second visit, is un-
certain.

His Royal Highness has commanded for this even,
ing the Comedy of the Rivols and the Entertain-
ment of the...kfaycir of Garrat. The box-book in
consequence containi yn enumeration of all the
tank, beauty, and fashion of this place and its vi-
cinity.

Mr. and Mrs. STr.:Pnnx KENTELE bent their cource
to this place, after tUeir engagement at CheltenhatA
expired. Mr. KENIBLE performed Faltheon Mon—
day last," and was very much applauded. Indeed,
the accuracy, judgment, and spirit with which he
Supported this arduous charaEter throughout,-suffici-.
emir accounts for the high reputation which he has
acc;:iirccl in it. The part of Hotspur was sustained -
with great ability by Mr. REQWNE, formerly of the
Bath and Haymarket Theitres, and who was last
.year the chief itator, and the manager at Windsor,
We are surprised that an aiaor 'of 'such talents and
experience, and who is by no means " declined in.
the vale of years," cannot obtain a permanent sta-
tion on a London stage. RUSSELL, of Drury-lane'
Theatre, was " The. Prince of Wales'," and he sup
ported the vharaaer throughout with vivacity and.
humour, nor was he less etfeCtive in answering tho
rtibukes of his Royal Father. •

On Wednesday— we had the pleasure of seeing
Mrs. STEIMEN•KIMBLE. in Me Alachant of Venice,
and her Parka afforded a high gratification to every
enlightened critic at this plaCe,, as well as to the au-,

Mrs. BILL INGTONIVA Cheltenham last week,. and.
after staying a day or kw. 9 in town, is gone to Mar,

WALES, but she declined the flattering invitation,
and has apparently renounced all, ptotessional par,
suits.
MELVIN, it seems, does not resume

OF MT. PAU LL,,it does not appear that he committed
any thing that should have deprived him of the con-
fidence and attachment of. the Burdett Faction, and
stii; less that it should have exposed him to their
rancorous persecution. T.), attack commenced in
the Newspai.ers on Mr. PA uLL, by Holism Towta,

the whole of his public life he has been notorious
for flying iu the I.we ut his connections, and for the
virulence of his abuse against those with whom he
has appeared to be teusued in private amity as well
as political consideration. It only remains, to put
thedast seal of. disgrace to his character, that he
ah.ould- treat Sir 'FRANCIS Bt'RDETT in' the same
Manner as he has so n'any of his former friends,
and it would be no more than what the Baronet
might naturally expea, if he were as poor as JonJoni*WicitEs was in the zenith of his popularity, or if
hiS mind were not formed of those materials which
are easily. Moulded by the hand of interested subtle-
PATILL's late unwieldy Pamphlet has at
least the merit of recording the artifices and false-
hood of those who pretend to personal hen= and •
public spirit. He has fairly proved that he was the-
viaim of unmerited-persecution on the part of the
11URDETT1TES, led on by their veteran.Corritnander
HORN TOOKE, and has left them nothing to urge
in defence of themsehfes. for thus deserting and
slandering; a man who,.at the time when they abaci-
dotiea him, was certainly as much entitled to their.
eiteem and support as when lie appeared to be most
in their favour. Indeed it is evident that the ad-

longer possible for them to impose upon the

It is really,a shocking consideration, that menaced
as we are, by the most formidable enemy that ever
assailed us, the, people of Westniinster, instead of
• looking around them fur meh of vittue, wiscilii, •
and public spirit, should fall an easy prey to the
schemes of hackneyed craft and the violence of po-
litical adventurers.. Let them at leait'take warning
by the disgrace which has fallen ou them, and
. whenever another opportunity offers, delegate their
• tights to men who are superior to factious cabal
and despicable cunning. Such men may be found in
this Country, if in any part of the world, and if the
people in general were to exercise that good sense
which has always been the charaCteristic of English
men, though it may be overborne for a time, no
part of the United Kingdom Would ever be ensnared
by the tricks of any artful old Knave to confer their
choice On any young misguided Dupe.

Yesterday a number of spectators assembled on
Epping Forest, to witness the long•expeCted race
for too guineas, between Mr. GOODCHILD'S Lady

at Rumford on Thursday next, by his Royal High-
ness the Commander in thief, after which a sump-
tuous entertainment will be given to the Officers.
The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and the Earl of
HAttaiNoTort, the Commander in Chief, are shortly
to take a tour round the Coast of that part of the
United Kingdom, to inspect the Fortifications, and
see that they are put in the best possible state of de.

Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, for the improvement of

We have frequently of late had occasion to notiee
the hostile inclination Of Russia towards this country.
Upon this subjeEt we yesterday received the follow-
Mg communication, which, in the present juncture,
will not bp deemed unimportant.
" EDINBURGH, SEPT. I.—A Sloop has this mo-
ment arrived at Leith from St. Petersburgh, left it
4th August. Capt.
WILSON, the Master, reports,
that when he left St. Petersburgh every thing looked
like. war ; the English were frequently hissed in the
streets by the Russians • that the specie that had ar-
rived from Britain, Lordi GOWER bad ordered to be
re-shipped. ,On his arrival at Elsineur, be was not
permitted to go ashore; and at five A.M. on the
15th, the Fleet all got under way, by signal from the
Admiral,, .both Men of War and Transports; that
pt this time the Danish' Guard-ship was coming into
Elsineur Roads, as a ptize to a British Frigate. The
firing that was hcard the preceding day by Capt.
SWORD, of the Charlotte, was the scaling of the
guns. Very few British Ships remained at St. Pe-
tersburgh when Capt. WILSON left it; and hemp
&eight had got up to 61. 6s.per

A, Cateehism has lately been published under the
sanairin of the French Giwerhment, for the use of
the Churches in the French Empire. Notwith-
standing BONAPARTE'S liberality with respeCt to
religious opinions, all the old and most objeCtionable
Doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church are re-
newed in' this Work. The infallibility of. the Church
of Ronie is asserted, and her right to grant indul-
gencia, and 'enforce confesiOns is tuaintained. In
the enumeration of moral duties, great fairness and
precision are manifest as far as the :Catechist pro-
ceeds ; but we are presented with only one side of
the picture; the obligations of inferiors to superiors
are minutely detailed, but not a word is added'op
the obligations. of superiors, towards interiors. In
the Lesson on the 4th (our sth) Commandment;
the pupil is taught the duties which he owes to
Princes in general, and to NAPOLEON in particular :
but nothing is addressed in the catechism to the
yching Princes of the new Dynasty. This part of
the composition- is so curious, as expressive of the
flattery with which the Church endeavours to ingra-
tiate herself into the good graces of her ew pro-
tietior, that we shall transcribe it : . I

Q. What are the duties of Christians in regard-to.
the Princes -who govern them, and, in particular,
what are our duties towards NAPOLEON the First,
our Emperor ?
A. Christians owe to the Princes who govern
them, and we owe in particular to NAPOLEON the
First, our Emperor, love, respe&, obedience, fide.
lily, military service, and the tributei ordained for
the presecvation and the defence of the Empire and
of his Throue ; besides, we owe hi:a fervent prayers
for his safety, and for the temporal and spiritual
prosperity of the State.
Q. Why are we bound to all these duties towards
our Emperor ?
A. First, because God, who creates empires, and
who distributes them according to his will, tu load-
ing our Emperor with favours, whether in pece or
war, has established him our 'Sovereign, has made
him the minister of his power, and his image on
earth. To isonour and serve our Emperor is there-
fore to serve God himself. Secondly, because our
Lord Jesus Christ, as well by ins doctrine as by his
example, has himself taught us what we owe to our
Sovereign; he was born under obedience to the de-
cree of Caesar Augustus; he payed the tribute pre-
scribed; and in the-lame manner as he has com-
manded to render to God what belongs to God, he
bas also commanded to render to Caesar what belongs
to Cam.

Q. Are there not particular motives which ought
to attach us more strongly to NAPOLBON the First,
our Emperor ?
A. Yes ; for he it is whom God has raised up kn
difficult circumstances to re-establish the publid
worship of our fathers' holy religion, and to be the
protector of it ; he has restored and presertied public
order by his profound and aCtive wisdom ; he de-
fends the State by his powerful arm, and is become
the anointed of the Lord by the consecration which
he has .received from the Chief Pontiff, Head of the
Universal Church.
Q. What are we to think of those who should
fail in their duty towards the Emperor?
A. According to St. Paul, the Apostle, they
would resist the order established by God himself,
and would render themselves worthy of eternal
damnation.

A poor unbeneficed Clergyman, being in want of
a dinner; bethought himself of paying a visit to
Lambeth Palke, where it was, in the days of the
beer-drinking Britons, a custom, from time imme-
morial, to keep an open table for Casual visitants.—
After he had dined, being rather dissatisfied because
the servant who supplied him with vi6tuals had en-
tirely forgotten)tis drink, he desired the favour of
pen, ink, and I per, when he wrote .the following
lines fur his Grace's perusal :

kiscis in disco
Mini datur,
AU Archipisco.
Po sed non ponatur,
Quia non niihi Albtre datur.

The Prelate, after reading the paper, sent for the
writer, and desired a translation, which was imme-
diately given
They sent me fish
Ina dish
From the Archbish.
Op is omitted here
Because there was no beer.

With this conceit his Grace was so well pleased,
that he bob-towed a good living upon its author.

The Hon, and Reverend Dr. PELHAM was, on
Monday, enthroned Bishop of Exeter. His proxy
on that occasion was tile. Rev. J. P. FISHER, D. D.
Archdeacon of Barnstaple. And on the next day
his Lordship was installed Archdeacon, treasurer,
and Prebend of Exeter.

A circumstance of singular interest occurred on
Sunday se'nnight, at Horncastle.—,A son of Mr.
Moore, of that plate, joiner, was bathing in the
Rain, which runs into the town, and having swam
to the deepest part of the river, suddenly sunk, in
the presence of several persons. As he did not rise
again to the surface, it was supposed he had got
entangled with some weeds, and a young man stand-
ing on the bank plunged into the water to extricate
him. This secotxl person, however, had scarcely
reached the spot where young Moore sunk, than he
himself also disappeared. Two or three minutes of
the most painful suspence to the witnesses of this
scene elapsed, when a young man named Race (a
son of Mr. Race, tailor, of Liorncastle) threw him-
self into the river, and after diving about for a mi-
nate, successively brought up the two drowning
men in his arms—first the person who had nearly
perished in an humane attempt to assist a fellow
creature • and secondly. Mr. Moores son, who was
quite exhausted, and had become black in the face
from suffocation, but speedily recovered.
Some days ago one of the Mail Coaches from
Welsh Pool to Shrewshurt was overturned, about
nine miles from the former place, by which accident
three outside passengers were precipitated with great
violence from the roof, and four who were in the
inside received a violent shock; one of the former,
a female, was much bruised, and though at first
much danger was apprehended, she is now in a fair
way of recovery. This accident, we must in justice
to the driver state, did not arise from arty negligence
on his part, but from doe of the springs of the coach
giving way.

of great draft of water, can only pass one Act
the other. The. Panes have, from this circumstance;
been enabled
,establish a toll, which brings in a
considerable' sum, all Ships that pass Elsineur being
ohliged to pay this duty.
FUrther to the Eastward, particularly near Copen-
hagen, the Sound Widens ; but still there is scarcely
room for vessels td mancetwre or fight, and the
flotilla defending it might receive great support from
the batteries ashore.

Zealand, the largest of the Danish Islands, is about
160 miles len& and 120 broad. The chief produce is
barley, oats, and wheat. The pasture lands are very
good. There are extensive woods of oak and beech,
and the lakes abound with fish. The best harbour
is that of Copenhagen;the metropolis and royal re-
sidence, built on the opposite side of the Strait, be-
tween Zealand and the Island of Arnak, and Cele-
brated for its excellent port, and its convenient situa-
tion for,trade. The city 'has a noble appearance
from the sea, and is about two miles in length, and
about one and a half in breadth, and six miles in
circumference. Some writers estimate the number
of inhabitants at 85,000, others 100,000.
In many of the streets the canals are deep enough
to admit large ships to come close to the warehouses,
a circumstance of the greatest convenience to the
merchants. There is an University of some import-
ance (founded in 1478, by Christian the First, un-
der the sanction of Pope Sextus IV.), an Academy
for Artillery and Naval Cadets, a Society of Natu-
ral History, 'an Academy for Painting, Royal Socie-
ties of Sciences, Belles Lettres, and Surgery, a Ve-
terinary School, a Royal Library, containing about
100,000 volumes,- besides a large one belonging to
the' University, about 50 Hospitals and Poor-houses,
a very spacious Exchange, and a fine Arsenal.--
Among other excellent manufaatories, one of beauti-
ful porcelains, established and carried on by F. H.
MULLER, .an apothecary, deserves particular notice.
The round tower of the church of the Holy Trinity
is reckoned a master-piece of architeaure ; it was
built after a design of the celebrated astronomer,
CHRISTIAN LONGOMONTANUS. It is 160 feet high,
and 60 feet in diameter, and the entrance is a spi-
ral arch, so strong and spacious, as to admit a coach
to ascend to the top, an experiment which the
CZAR PATER THE ,GREAT is said to have made
in 1716. Copenhagen enjoys the privileges of a
free port; and carries on a considerable trade. In
1768, upwardsof 3800 ships entered inwards, and
about 3700 cleared outwards. That Copenhagen is
a place of great strength, both by nature and art,
is evident' from the three long and bloody sieges it
sustained under FREDERICK 1. CHRISTIAN 111. and
FREDERICK 111, though the fortifications were then
by no. means in the state they now are. As the
town of Christian-haven, built on the Isle of Amak,
is generally comprehended with Copenhagen, this
island may be noticed here. It is seventeen miles
in length, by seven broad, and has a communica,
tion with the city by means of two bridges. The
soil is uncommonly rich, and the island is considered
as the garden and dairy of Copenhagen, to which
the Atnakers bring for sale all kinds of vegetables,
milk, butter, 'and cheese, in great quantities.
Of the Danish towns within the Sound, the next
in point of importance is Elsineur, Milt on the de-
clivity of a mountain, direCtly opposite to Helsing-
burgh, on the Swedish coast.. It contains from five
to bix thousand inhabitants, who derive great benefit
from the number of people passing through the
town from Sweden to different .parts of Denmark,
and still more in consequence of the toll that is
levied 'from all vessels passing the Sound, on which
amount, each of the nations trading to the Baltic
Usually have a Consul established here . CHRIS-
TIAN 11. had an intention of ceding the town to the
Dutch, but the inhabitants refused to comply with
the order..

To•the south of Elsineur is the important fortress
of Cronenbursh, begun by FREDRUCK. II in 1677,
and finished in 1686. - The fortifications are in the
best order, and the guns command the Sound, which
is here not more than a mile and a half over, for Men
of War dare not keep near the Swedish shore, on ac-
count oftho shoals.

The most important Islands in the Sound are. Ist,
Antall, which has been already described. 2d. Salt-
hohn, a small Island belonging to the Danes, where
thereare excellent quarries of lime-stone, free-stone,
and marble. This island is uninhabited, being over-
flowed in winter. 3d. Huen, or Wien, a fertile island,
formerly an appendage of Zealand, but anneied to
the Swedish crown at the peace of Rotzchild. It
was bestowed by FREDBRICK the Ild. on, TYCHO DB
BRAM, the celebrated astronomer, for the term of
his life.

Moen, the. Island off which Lord ROSLYN ar-
rived on the 14th, with the troops froM Stralsund,
is a fertile Island, situate in the Sound, welly op-
posite Wisbeck, the little bay in which the troops
etfe6led a landing on the 16th. It was granted to
Sweden by the treaty of Rosehild, in the year itS s.
—lt is about eight thousand one hundred and sixty
paces in Circumference, and at a distance has the
appearance of a high mountain. The Island was
granted by FREIDRRICK 11. King of Denmark, to
Tycho BURL the celebrated Astronomer, with a
castle, called 'Uranienburgh, crated for the pur-
pose of making astronomical observations, in which
he resided upwards of twenty years. The whole
island tontains but one parish or village, consisting
of about five houses. It is about five leagues north
of Copenhagen.

Kiiige 15;y, in which the division of troops from
Stralsund anchored on the toth, it a bay of Zealand,
stretching youth west from Copenhagen.
