LONDON, MARCH 0, 1802,

WE this morning received Parts journal; to the
inst. inclusive. They are wholly barren of in..
telligence.

THIS morning arrived the Hamburgh Mail due
on Wednesday last. It has brought us a State Paper,
purporting to be the Answer of the Court of Berlin
to a Representation on the part of the ,ELECTOR of
HANOVER, respeaing the Secularization of Osna-
b4rg, and some other places dependant upon the
Electorate and the House of Lunenburgh, dated the
rTh ult. This Answer is in substance, that
His TRUSS/AN MAJESTY thinks that those Princes
who have lost so much on the Left Bank of the

Rhine, should receive compensation, and par-
ticularly the Houses of Tuscany and Orange:—
and he hopes that His BR 'TANI.= MAJESTY
will interpose no obstacles to the Sefulariza-
tions, which are the only means of procuring
these Indemnities,—There is also a Note of the
Hanoverian Envoy, in reply to this State Paper,
stating, that his Court intends by no means to in-
terpose any obstacles to these Secularizations, but
only to maintain its own rights.

Yesterday HER MAJESTY and the PRINCESSES
paid a morning visit to Viscountess SIDNEY.
The ROYAL FAMILY left Town this morning,
for Windsor.

Lord BROME, it was yesterday generally report-
ed, and as generally believed, had received a letter
by the last Messenger from his illustrious Pather,
which states, that he need not be surprised if he
were to see him in London within three or four
days after the receipt of his letter.
Last night, we understand, there was a very hot
press on the River Thames.
Yesterday a Court of Dire tors was held at the
East India House, when Captain MACNAMARA of
the Gleam?: took leave previous to his departure
for China.—The Court adjourned at-a late hour till
Wecinesdly next.
The Duke of BEDFORD'S Will was yesterday
proved in Do6lors' Commons. It is very short.
The following is a copy of it

" i, FR ANCT S Duke of BEDFORD, dogiveuntomyßro-
then, JOHN RusszLL, all my Personal Property.—Dated
" this 27th of February, tßoz. BEDFORD."

The Will is witnessed by Lord PRESTON, Doctor
KERR, of Northampton, and Mr. PARKER, the
Surgeon. It is written in the Duke's down hand, on
a common half-sheet of paper, resembling the cover
of a letter. The writing is not so steady as usual.
By the date, it appears His Grace believed him-
self in danger on Saturday last. Besides this
Will, he has left very long paper, sealed up,
of instructions to his successor, which was or-
dered not to be opened till the Will wa# proved.—
This circumstance hastened the proof of the Will ;
his friends were anxious to know what the paper
contained. A Surrogate from Doctors' Commons
went to Woburn to swear His Grace respecting this
paper. The Duke is supposed to have made in it
various legacies and dispositions of his property, as
he had not time to do so in a detailed Will, which
requires certain legal forms. No Executor being
named in the Will, the present Duke was obliged to
send up with it to DoCtors' Commons a Bond for
due administration.' His Sureties in too,oool. each,
are Lords PRESTON and VI LL I ERS.
We learn that the late Duke of BEDFORD in.
strufted his brother to pay Mr. Fox 50001. out of
his Personal Estate. His Grace has left several
other legacies, amounting altogether to 37,0001.
The Estate at Streatham, valued at soool. a year, is
to be-given to his younger brother, Lord WILLIAM
RUSSELL.

A lulus nature was brought into the world about
three weeks since, by a very amiable Lady of
Fashion, which survived till about four days ago,
and then fortunately expired.—lt is attributed by
the Faculty to a fright, taken from a large dog
jumping up and biting her, in the third month of her
Ladyship's pregnancy.

The following is an Exlra& of a Letter from
Paris The new Drama, entitled, Edouard en
Ecosse, recently given at the Theatre Francais., ex.
cited on its first representation so powerful an inte-
rest, that the CHIEF CONSUL sent a very handsome
compliment to its Author, Duv AL, who was called
for by the Public.
" On the second representation, the enthusiasm
of the Public was still greater. One of the audi-
ence, charmed with the talents of the Author, who
himself performed the part of the Pretender, either
not knowing, or affefting
,not to know his name,
strenuously called for the Pretender to come forward.
—The cry soon became general, and the word Pre-
tender was heard from every part of the house. At
length the Pretender, DUVAL, appeared, and was
welcomed by the loudest applauses.
" On the following day the Piece was suppressed
by the Police by order of the Chief Consul, and a
rigorous search after its Author was made, who has
since been arrested !"

The Match for one thousand guineas between Mr.
Fletcher's bay mare and Mr. Oswald's grey mare,
to start from Doncaster, and run ioo miles South-
ward, was on Monday last run over Doncaster course.
Each carried eight stone.—Betting was much in
favour of Mr. Fletcher's mare, hut she ran away
the first twenty miles, and, after baiting, a second
time ran away.—Mr. Oswald's mare won easy.
When the worthy Chairman of the Marine So-
ciety, Earl ROMNEY, at the Anniversary Meeting,
at the London Tavern, was stating the general bu._
siness of the day, he took notice of a circumstance
which ought to be generally known :—A boy
sent out by the Society to sea, was on the West
India Station, and performed some meritorious ads,
which induced the Commander to make him a
Midshipman ; he was afterwards ordered to com.
mand an armed boat on some enterprize ; and
he succeeded so much to his credit, that lie was
named a Lieutenant. When he returned to England,
being without friends or money, he applied to the
Committee—they were so well pleased with him;
that they ordered the Secretary to write to the Ad-
miralty Board, requesting a confirmation of his ap-
pointment, which Lord SPENCER very handsomely
sent him the week following.' This will be a sti-
mulus for boys to behave well under such a bene-
volent Society. _ _ _

On Thursday s'ennight, at the Cove of Cork, a
boat belonging to His Maje3ty's,. Ship La Renonimee,
with Capt. M'KELLAR, the First Lieutenant, an
Officer of Marines,-and six hands on board, upset on
her passage from the shore to the ship. In this
perilous situation they continued for several minutes,
clinging to the boat's bottom, and to some articles
of furniture, which were fortunately conveying'on
board, until assistance reached them from the shore ;
and we are highly gratified in being able to add,
that they were all preserved by the ailitrity whieh
was exerted on the occasion.
