Yesterday forenoon Madame LAsNEs set off from
Leicester fields, on her way to . Paris. Her suite-
occupied three chaises. In the first her female at.
tendants ; in the second two or three Gentlemen, one
of them Aid-de-Camp to General LASNES ; and in
the third herself, with Mr. OTTO, who accompanied
her a few miles on the road.

It is stated on the authority or private Letters
brought by the Lisbon Mail which arrived yester-
day, that the alarm caused in that Capital by the
sudden departure of General LASNES had entirely
ceased, no apprehension whatever being now enter-
tained by the Portuguese Government of any un,
pleasant consequences arising from that event.

Earl I-3 RDwIcKE has been received every where

tions of affeaion and joy on the part. olthe People.
His Excellcncy dined—at Waterford last Saturday

viAs on board, and will nil in a day or two for

A new High Priest of. the jewr has just ar-
rived in London from Holland. His name is
HART. Mr. A. GOLDSMTD went to receive him
in Essex, and brought him to, Town last week
in his. coach and four. Mr. E. P. SotomoNs and
all the principal• Jews attended in the procession.

The late Earl of hcArsTrit (head of the Fox
family) was one of the most amiable private cha.
raders of the day ; and during the short lived ad.
ministration of hi relative, Mr. Fox, he held the
office of Comptroller of the Army Accounts. His
first Lady was a native of Ireland, and one re.
markable for her beauty and accomplishments, Miss
M. "T. GRADY of Limerick : this Lady died a few
years since. The Earl's second marriage was into
the DtGßy family, one connected with his own,
and from which proceeds his successor, the present
Lord.

The Family Estate of the Duke of St. ALBAN'S,
near Nottingham, is that which was derived from
the frolicksome bequest of CHARLES 11. to his fa-
vourite Mistress, NELL Gwyri, who gave her as
much land as she could ride round in the course of a
day—from the scantiness of this Domain, it does
not appear that the great grandmother 'of his pre-
sent Grace of ST. ALBAN'S was a horsewoman of
much dashing celebrity.
It is highly probable that the accounts in the Pa-
pers of the Compliments addressed by the CHIEF
CONSUL to Mr. Fox and Mr. ComBE, are the
mere reveries of some Opposition Sycophant. At
all events, if those Compliments really came from
the CHIEF CONsUL, they were such as an English_
man should blush to have deserved.

In the time of our good Lady ELIZABETH,
Treaties seem to have been begun and carried on
with more pleasantry than in these days of refine-
ment. When Dr. DALE was sent to Flanders, to be
present at the overture of the Treaty, the Spanish
Ambassador asked what language they should
treat in, observing at the same time to DALE,
I think it must be French, as a compliment to
your Sovereign, who is a Lady, and stiles her-
self Queen of France; to which DALE. replied,
I would not he behind band complaisance, and
therefore, if it please thee, we wilt treat in Hebrew,
for thy Master calleth himself King of Jerusalem ;
at which wittv 'retort the Ambassadors laughed
heartily. An English Nobleman hinting afterwards
to DALE, that he thought such jests unsuited to
the 'solemnity of Embassy, DALE replied, My
Lord, Treaties begun in good-humour will end in
We believe that the spirit of F,nigratiOn to

Captain BA LEY, of the Sloop Live y, artlVei
from New Providence at New London, inform;
that on the i4.th of July there was brought
into New Providence, a Pilot-boat Schooner,
mounting 4 number of si.rivels, manned with
36 men, commissioned by General BOWLES, who
commands the Indians to the. Southward. The
following information the Governor of No'
Providence received from a Dutch boy, who triad
been, taken out of a Spanish vessel 'and kept o 3
board the Privateer for same time, afterwards.
made his escape, and got down to New Provi-
dence. That the Privateer had taken three
Spanish vessels, plundered them, gave the people
the boat, and burnt the vessels. That while he
was on board the Privateer, they hailed a ves-
sel under American Colours and brought her top
sent their boat on board, and after some time
returned with a large sum of money in the boat;
they burnt the vessel, and the lad supposes they
made the crew walk overboard, as there was none
of them brought on board the Privateer. The
lad further says, that General BOWLES had com-
missioned three other vessels, with orders to
burn, sink, and destroy, all Spanish vessels they
could meet with, After receiving the above infor-
mation froM'the boy, the Governor of New P,rovi'
dence armed a brig and sent Out_ with a sloop of war
in search of the Pirate - in a few days ;hey bronghe
her" in, and have lodged them all in irons on board
a sloop of War.—The Captain's Commission orss.
signed by Gen. Ilowt.rs. There was a number at
New Providence men on boa'rd the Pirate whO

Captain TEALE, of the Brig Eagle, arrived 431
Sunday last at Wilmington (Del.;t in tz days from
Martinique, informs that Martinique Was in posses-
sion of the British when the Eagle sailed. It' was t°
be given up to the French on the 18th, but the. Vr
feet, who arrived some time since, requested the Bri-
tish to hold it till the French, wh , were expected
early in August, arrived.; Many people were sae
crificing their property at auftion' in order to lei:10
the Island previous to the French taking p0,...,e55i0l
of it-. It is supposed the conduct of the- French aF
.Guadaloupe and ilispaniol44, to-wards the.-Arerrir,ao9t
will be sufficient to deter the latter from-risking thei
property at Martinique, as the same iniquitoof
game will, no doubt, be played at that place. V
are informed by authority- which we believe, that
an American who had sold four small kegs of fart!,
to- a French Officer, was obliged to take. a bill on
the First Consul for payment !

together. Nardin then, in order to entrap

YESTERDAY beibg 'apfibirated fOr the Mitkciit ss
to entertain the nunierods company attending oirr
fubilee,
,there -was . a PubliC l3reatilast in the
Guild-Hall. Though the weather was very unpro-
. it.
vinous, did not prevent a numerous company
from attending:, Every' conch; chaise and other
Vehicle of conveyance Wits put in requisition. Be-
tween eleven and twelie o'Clock the company be 7
gari to assemble numbers came full dressed, as it
was intended for a dress-meeting. By about one
o'clock the Triwn Hall was so completely filled with
company, that there was hatdly a possibility of
moving. The table Was very elegantly covered.
The Mayoress was attended" by several Ladies of
Fashion: The tipper table Consisted of =tea; coffee;
choice fruits, and confeCtionaty of all kip.ds. The
long table was supplied with poultry, jeklies, pastry,
Btc. There was a great abundance of pine apples and
the choicest fruits and wines: The ornaments of
the long table consisted of His Majesty on his
Throne, in his robes, with the Lion at his feet,
over which' hung an elegant cdnopy, embellished
with various' devices. On each side or the pillars
were figures presenting fruits, &c. The orna-
ment on the loWek part of the table was a repre-
sentation of the grand Procession which toyk place
the first day of the Jubilee. .

The company were entertained during the break-
fast with an- excellent Band. After the company
were refreshed, the tables were cleared' away, and
they promenaded the two Halls for some time.
There was afterwards a good deal of dancing. Lady
Sus CARPENTER danced with Lord GARDNER.

In the evening the Theatre• was crowded to an
overflow for MuNDEN's Benefit. Part of the Pit
was laid into the Boxes. The Performances were
The Farmer, The Child of Nature, and The Rival
Soldiers.

. .
During the Jubilee the exertions of the Police
deserve every degree of credit. One of the most
notorious of the London gang olpick.pockets is in
custody. His apprehension was effeeted by the
information given by'..an- old offender, who was
lately admittect King's evidence on a trial. This
man explained to the principal Officers .of ,the Po-
lice the whole of their plans, their places-of meet-
ing, and a number of other particulars,. which were
the means of preventing their depredations. Two
more of this gang, finding their companion in cus.
tiidy; thoughtit expedient to decamp, and they. left
their lidrks at the Inn where they lodged.
Thefellmir secured was taken before the Mayor,_
and not tieing able to give a satisfadory account of
himself, he was committed for further examination.
He had upwirdi of in cash upon him.
