KASAIIN, 0,50 wersts from Twer,) OCT.
A few .days ago passed upwards of:2000 French
prisoners through this town, the greater part of
11,honi had merely Pigs and mats to cov*.n• their
naked bodies, were without shoes, aril instead Of
hats, their heads were wrapped up in rags. Oar
citizens, from motives of humanity, and 'forgetting
that they were enemies, supplied them with linen,
shoes; and clothing, so that not one of them
left our tovvn without shoes or uncovered.—
" Love your enemies, and do good to those who
hate yon." The Russians, by conquering their
enemies with humanity and magnanimity, twill
most undoubtedly conquer them with their arms
also.

Of the exorbitant price Which colonial produce
bears on the Continent, some idea may be formed
from the fact`that a pound of Congo tea, of mid-
tiling quality, cost last month at Copenhagen 26
crowns.

The Toulon fleet, it. Will be perceived by the
following extract from a German Journal, occa-
sionally venture out, but do not quit sight of
port. On the 22d ult. they were absent, owing
to a storm, a whole day and night. We suspect
that, one of these days, they will be decoyed too
far, when all their manoeuvres will avail them
nothing. Our blockading squadron must have a
tedious, unprofitable, and tantalizing service of
it :

TOULON, OCT. 24.--The Emperor's squadron,
which has, during the summer, manwuvred daily
in presence of the English squadron, kas not dis-
continued its exercising and manceuvring since the
weather has become more severe.
On the 2lst, Admiral Emereau exercised only,
eight frigates in tacking without the harbour.
On the 22d, tliki enemy's light squadron
ing an intention' to attack a ccn,oy, near Ciotat,
the Admiral dispatched- Vice-Mmiral Baudin,
with four ships, whieb,. in conjunction with the
frigates, repulsed, the enemy, and secured the en,-
try of the convoy.
The next day the Admiral, having his flag on
board the Austerlitz, put to sea, with .nine ships
of the line and seven frigates; the weather was
fine, and a breeze at north-erest ; but the squadron
had hardly passed Cape Sidle, when it began to
blow a hurricane. Towards midnight the wind
blew so violently, that it was necessary to close
the port-holes, secure the gunk, and:take in every
reef. In this condition the squadron kept the sea
till the next clay, the storm not abating..
It was a magnificent spectacle to observe the
simultaneous entry of these fifteen large ship:-; of_
war, three of them threi deckers, all tac:ing to
regain the harbour, in a narrow space, which
obliged them to veer every instant, whilst the vio-
lence of the wind, and the heavy sea, augmented
the danger of their running aground, or on bo-ard
of One another.

Thanks to the dexterity in evolutions which.
this squadron has acquired; no serious conse-
quences ensued ; for a shock received by
the Majestueux and Danule, by running .foul
during the night, should go for .nothing. Daring
this. cruize, the young.cow:eripts experienced 36
hours of tempest, such as they had Ltd no former
example of, but they supported it well. The
enemy's squadron' v'as seen, but at a great
distance; their look-out shies might be discerned
nearer.

THE PARKs.---Ilyde Park yesterday presented a
brilli ant appear:nce. Gaiety and pleasure seemed
every where to reigli triumpLaut ; and in despite
of the chilling breeze, which- blew from the east„
the throng was thickly studded with the brigh;est
gems of British beauty, who vied with each,
other in the elegance of Cleir costume. It would
be almost impossible to describe properly what
might be termed the most favourite dress, as the
materials of which they were composed, their co-
lours and forms were almost as various as the
wearers. Mantles of all sizes, spencers, pelisses,
and scarfs, were intermingled.. Velvets seemed
to be rather out of favour. Amongst the most
dashing we observed, that superfine green cloth
pelisses, trimmed la hussar, were in esteem.
Halt-hoots were general, principally of fancy-co-
loured leathers. Swansdown tippets and muffs
were numerous, and the head-dresses, like the
other parts of the costumes, were multifarious.
The Wellington hat is still the rage, anti artifi-
cial flowers almost universal. Satin caps' have
also their admirers.—The Ride was most respecta-
bly attended by equestrians of rank and dash, and
the Drive had to boast of innumerable equipages
of. diitinguishcd elegance.

THE CHASE.—His Majesty's hounds bunted last
Tuesday, when a fine young deer was turned out
at Southill Park, near Swinley, for the day's diver-
sion. A very numerous field of gentlemen were
assembled by soon after ten o'clock. The deer.
went with great swiftness across the Forest, tak-
ing by Blackwater, where he ran through the in-
closures towards Hartford Bridge, when be was
in taken the Flat; after a run of upwards of two
hours and a half hard running. Another deer was
turned out on Friday at Sunning-hill Wells for a
day's diversion. The days of the Royal Hunt are
changed by order of tae Marquis CORNWALLIS,
the Master of the stag-hounds, instead of 'rues-.
days and Saturdays, they are to be Mondays and
Fridays.

COURSING.-Swaffham Coursing Meeting be-
gan on Tuesday, the 12th inst. Four brace of
greyhounds were run lip for the cup, which. was
ultimately won by Mr. 'Gurney's b. d. tist.—
Twenty matches were run the first day,' of which
Lord Rivers won nine.,out of ten; eleven matches
the second day ; and on the last.day twenty-four
matches were finished, of which Mr. liamond was
the principal winner. lie Meeting was very nu-
merously attended.

A tire broke out on the 2d of September, in
the wealthy and commercial city of Salonichi, in
Turkey, which was not extinguished until the se,
coed (lay. Four hundred houses were destroyed,
besides some warehouses tilled with silks, drugs,
&c. to an immense amount. The quarter in
which the French iaterchants resided escaped the
flames,
