Br Letiers from Brest,-of the 7th, we learn; that
no intelligence what'e.ver has been received Of ,the
Meet, 'thongh it is neatly a month since it sailed;
It is therefore to be hoped that it has suffered no
damage from the violent gales of wind which have
Len so -much' felt here. If it hfts 'escaped from
these first.dangers, it has nothing farthrs to.appre.:
hend, as in-twenty-four days sail it would arrive in
those latitudes where seamen meet with no incon_
veniencies except from the prevalent calms. We
wish we had more satisfadory intelligence to corn—
munkate, but we can only form conjedutes.

BR EST, JAN. 7.--'Citizen Cl-iATAL, Minister of

was announced by a salute of artill&y.
A numerous detachment of the Consular Guard
.preceded the Minister two days: , Theoverfiowing
of the Saone prevented him from coming by Vas:
he came down by the new road.
It is affirmed, that several Paper Mantifadurer3
of -Kent, have come over, to France, with an
in-
tension to form there establishments of the same

nature.:

PETERSELIRGH, DEC. lg.—The Count De
MuNsTtit). the Hanoverian Minister, has arrived
here, and was this day presented to his Imperial Ma-
jesty. It is said that he is charged with a mission
from the Regency of Hanover, and that he is also
-instructed to demand one of the Grand toutehesses
in marriage for PRINCE ADOLPHUS of England.
MILAN, DEC. 2.Z.—We hear from the Ex-Ve:,
netian 'territories, that the Austrian Troops which
were expecied, have in part arrived. Two French
Frigates which sailed from Ancona have arrived at
Tarrento, for the purpose of conveying home the
French Troops that were stationed in Naples.
CONSTANTINOPLE, NOV. z 5 Egypt
is restored to us in consequence of the Peace, 'yet
the he from that Province continue to be very im.
pcitlant ; and it appears that Government will have
almost as difficult a task to restore it to tranquillity
as they found it to conquer—The greatest part of
the Beys oppose the plan which has been adopted
for organizing that Country. The Beys wished,
conjointly with the Manielukes, to form a party in
the Grand VIZIER'S Army. The greater part of
these Rebels have been apprehended. At Alexandria
they made some resistance. The Captain Paella
was obliged to send a corps of Troops against the
Mamelukes, who would not give up their Chiefs.
Seven of the Beys were killed in the contest, and
two escaped.
Nov. is said that Lord ELGIN'S journey
has a political objed in view, and that he is charged
with-bringing about an adjustment of some dif-
ferences that have arisen between the Captain Pacha
and General HwrcHiNsoN. It is said that the
General has not only taken under his proteEtion two
fugitive Beys whom the Captain Pacha had caused
to be arrested, but had also demanded the enlarge-
ment of eight other Beys, whom the Grand Vizi ER
had sent to Cairo under a strong guard, because they
had not only refused to conform to the will of the
Porte, which wishes to. deliver Egypt from' the
power of the Beys, but had also attempted to form
a party in the Grand Vizi tut's Army. At Alex.
andria, the Mamelukes having taken part with their
Leaders,- the Captain Paella had- been obliged to
march his Army against them. They had come to
an engagement ; seven Beys had been killed on the
spot, and two had sought refuge in the camp of the
English General. It appeared that in giving them
an asylum he had offended the Porte ; which having
• demanded sati§faaion, Lord ELGIN, who had loudly
declared against the condu6l of General HUTCHIN.
SON., wasgoing to terminate the difference, on the
spot. That AmbasSadOr, who had yesterday a con-
ferenee-With the Ottoman Minister, only waits a
favourable wind to. set sail. He will be accompanied
by a.small, merchant ship, in which, on his return
from Egypt, he will visit the isles of the Archipe-
lago.
These unpleasant circumstances have not, how-
ever, checked our rejoicings for the peace. Three
magnificent fireworks hr.ve la:elv bean _played' of is
this capital. The GRAND SIGNIOR was himself
present at the last, and afterwards gave a grand
supper to the Foreign Ministers, in some tents
which were pitched for the occasion. Lord &oft;
and Lady were present. He will immediately
set out for Egypt. Government have ordered the
frigate.which is to convey him to be decorated in a
most splendid manner.
Citizen SEBASTIANI, Chief of Brigade, has
brought 'the ratification of the French Government
to the Treaty with the Porte.

ANNIVERSARY OF TIBIRTH OF HER ROYAL

HIGHNESS THE PRINCESS CHAR 1,01 rE OF

WALES.

Stb January, i8o;.

Yesterday, being the Anniversary of the Birth
of Her Royal Highness the PRINCESS CHARLOTrE
of WALES, who then completed her 6th year, a
grand Ball and Entertainment, in celebration there-
of, was given by Colonel and Mrs. M'LEOD, at
their :house in Mountjoy-square, to a numerous and
seled party of the Nobility and Gentry of,Dublin,
Early in the evening, the front of the house appear-
ed illuminated by lamps of various hue ; not less
admired for a brilliancy of effea, than for a beauti-
ful simplicity of arrangement. On passing into the
entrance, the eye was forcibly struck on finding it.
self surrounded by groves and arbours; into a
verdant resemblance of which, the ball, stairs, and
passages, had been, as it were, magically converted,
by means of artificial flowers, and real evergreen
boughs, oranges,' &c. &c.
.At nine o'clock precisely, the .Loral .Lieutenant
and Countess of HARDW ICKE, with the amiable
Lady ANNE YORKE, and their suite, honoured the
party by their presence, and were received by Co-
lonel and Mrs. M'LEon, attended by the Officers
Of Her Royal Highness the PR INC E$S CHArLOTT
Regiment, and!several persons of rank and distinc-.
tion of both sexes, As a due expression of loyalty
to His MAJESTY and illustrious Family, through
the Person of, his Representative, on the approach
of the Lord Lieutenant, the Regimental Band struck
up God save the King. In about an hour after, the
.rooms being completely filled, the Ball commenced,
and exhibited such a display of elegance, beauty,
and fashion, as we have very rarely witnessed. The
charming Countess of HARDWICKE, as usual, drew
.much pleasing attention ; being dressed, on the oc-
casion, in a rich crimson poplin, of Irish fabric, to
mark her determined resolution of encouraging the
Manufaaures of the Country ; whicii it is now
pretty well known have experienced the beneficial
influence of her zealous and patriotic countenance.
Her:pettic?at was made of the richest Brussels lace,
and she wore on her head.dress a profusion of dia-
monds. The Ball was opened by Colonel M‘Laoo
and Lady ANNE YoRKE, to the tune of Colonel
M'Leed's Belted Plaid, and was continued with re-
00h-ty vivacity and gracefulness, until half pail
eleven o'clock : during this part of the entertain-
ment, the Officers of Her, Royal Highness the.
Pan C ass CHAR LoTTE's Regiment, by their gaiety
and correct politeness, confirmed, efFeaually, the
favourable impression which their genteel appear_
once at first inspired. The Supper-rooms being
pow thrown open, the company sat down to a re-
past, abounding with all the delicacies the season
could afford, or the confectioners' art supply ; en-
livened by decorations, in transparency, suited
to the festive occasion ; one of these devices beau-
tifully displayed the Imperial Arms of the British
Empire, blazoned in the maiden lozenge ; and oppo-
site to it, another exhibited those of His .Royal
Highness the PRINCE of WALES; at the itiLeinic-
diate distances were to be seen, in illuminated tints,
the Prince of Wales's _Crest of Arms and Motto,
encircled with the words " PRINCESS CHARLOTTE
of WALES own,"' alluding to the devices on the
much-admired Colours, which Her Royal Highness
was graciously pleased to honour the Corps with.
Her Royal Highness's health, with many-happy re-
turns -of the day, was drunk with fervent acclama-
tions ; as were those of the rest of the Royal Family ;
and several loyal and patriotic sentiments were
given. The excellent Band of the Regiment play-
ing different Airs, appropriate to each toast, viz.
The Princess Charlotte of Wales's Troop, God save
the King, Rule Britannia ; and, by particular de-
sire of the Countess Of HARDW IC KE, " St. Patrick's
Day in the Morning." At half past one o'clock,.
the company adjourned once more to the Ball-room,
which was again graced with the presence of His
Excellency the Lord Lieutenant and Countess of
HARD WICK E, who enjoyed the gay scene for some
time, until it was past two o'clock, when they re-
tired, the Band playing God save the King. This
elegant pair, as amiable in private life, as dignified
in public station, gained, entirely, the affection of
every one present, by a frankness of affability and
polite condescension ; It was remarked, that both
were in an uncommon flow of spirits, arising, it
was obvious, from the steady attachment they bear
to that Illustrious Family, to one whereof, were
consecrated the honours of the day ; indeed, a cor-
tesponding sentiment of loyalty prevailed through-
out ; each individual , vying with the other, who
should do most-honour to the occasion; and to this
emulation is to be traced that unparalleled high spi-
tit of vivacity—that universal glow of satisfaaion,
which so peculiarly marked this aka and happy
groupe.
The dancing still went on, and- wai_gaily conti-
nued until a very late, or rather early hour ; every
thing was conduced with the greatest ()icier and
Teg ula xi ty ; and all went away highly pleased with
their entertainment, amd with the polite attention
of Colonel and Mrs. M‘Lcon.

At the Quarter Sessions, for the county of Nor-
folk, Robert and Richard Smith were inclined for
an assault on Mr. Ezstaugh, of Starton. It appeared
that Richard Smith swore a debt of i IL Bs. against
the prosecutor, and brought his brother, a bailiff,
to arrest him ; that on meeting Mr. E. on the road,
the latter offered to pay the money, but was told it
was too late, and the other Smith came up and
seized him. The prosecutor then offered the.bai-
liff a 101. bank-note, as hart of the debt, and desi-
ttd to I)—e- taken-- to a neighbour's house, and he
would pay the remainder. :The officer took the
rote, but refused to go to the house, although an
Mt of Parliament says a bailiff shall be obliged to
take a person arrested to any house he may desire,
within three miles, before; he is locked up. The
two Smiths seized, beat, and dragged Mr. East-
augh to gaol. Theyiwere found guilty, and fined zol.
