MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—A most distressing
scene was exhibited at Canterbury, on Tuesday
last : Lieutenant FRASER, of the First Regiment of
Life Guards, after leaving Canterbury at one o'clock,
in his tandem, accompanied by his groom, had pro-
ceeded two miles on the road to Margate, when, ir.
the sandy lane, just beyond Sturry, they overtook a
broad wheel waggon, when Mr. FRASER, in at-
tempting to pass the waggon very quick, struck
against a post which threw both Mr. FRASER and

die groom under the wheels of the waggon, the
foremost wheel of which, and instantly after the
hind wheel passed over the body of Mr. FaiksEß,
before the waggoner could stop his horses. With
great difficulty the servant (who had escaped in-
jury) and the waggoner got the unhappy Gentleman
into the chaise, and returned with him to the King's
Head Inn, Canterbury. He spoke but few words.
When arrived at the Inn, he said to the servant—
" You cannot .take me out of the chaise alive ;"
but which they with much difficulty did. On being
conveyed to a bed-room, he said, " Lay me on the
bed—lay me on the bed—l shall soon be dead."
Every attention possible was paid him by Mrs.
LOWEN, the landlady, and her servant; but human
assistance was in vain, and he• died in less than two
hours.

The body is still at the King's Head Inn, the
Coroner not having sat on it.

The following notice appears in the Maniteur of
Oft. S : it is important in two respens; first, as
it shews the desires of BONAPARTE to keep up the
Military Hospitals in Italy ; and, secondly, as it
shews that the Italian Republic is entirely under
the Government of France, which even contrafts
for its hospitals :
wAR-oFFIcE —The Direaor of this Department of
the Military Administration gives notice, that, from the 22d
of November 1802, to the 23d of September 1803, it is the
intention of Government, that the whole Service, in the
Hospitals of the Italian Republic, shall be executed by con-
tra Ct. A Paper, containing an exat account of the different
Services which are thus to be performed, may be seen at the
Office of the Di redory of the Military Hospitals ; where Pro-
posals will be received till the 23d day of October next."

There has been discovered at the house of BR I-
GETTE MATTH EY, a Bookseller, in Paris, a kind
of Club, where the English and other Newspapers
were taken in. RctoERER and several Legislators
attended it ; but, on account of his disgrace, it
has been ordered to be discontinued. Another
Bookseller, by name GILARDIN, has had the same
order.

From the signature of the Peace till this time,
the City of Havre has sent to' the Colonies sixty..
