-By order of GoVerner Krx,c, he returned'-into
those Straits;, and obtained the survey of the
coast from Wilson's ProMontory to Western Port,
with the
.survey of :that harbour; which is well
sheltered, and capable of containing many sail of
shipping. There, is abundance •of wood easily to
be got, and plenty of water; though Ike latter is
rather difficult to be procured., on account of the
distance, and from several shoals laying in the
way, Which render it necessary to take advantage
of tide. Mr. GRANT gives a very favourable re-
port of that part of the country. The different
surveys obtained in the Lady Mho?: were executed
by Ensign BAT:RE miAri, of the Niew South Wales
Corps, who accompanied him for that purpose.,
Mr. GRANT bears strong testimony to the many
good qualities of the Lady Nelson, and vessels bUilt
on that coostrnaion, as .being particularly calcu-
lated for the business of Discovery.—Thr flatness
of bottom enables them to approach. nearer the shore
even in bad weather; from which circumstance
there is less liability to be blown off a Coast.—. They
can stand into shoaler water than sharp built vessels
can ; and the great adyantage of the keels, which
Makes them stay and wear quicker Jess room,
and of more easy steerage ; from all' these proper-
ties lessening the. many dangers to which such
"voyages are subjed.,
We hope Mr. GRANT will favour the Public with
some farther information on this subjea.

The present fashion among,sst but Fair Country-
women of leaving the Shoulders and part of the
neck uncovered, if it have no other sanction has
at least antiquity for its. origin, and was first in-
troduced by ISABELLA, Queen of Bavaria, a Lady
as remarkable •for her gailantrj, as fur the fairness
of her complexion, which this fashion was intended
to' display. Some of the Roman Ladies; however,'
introduced, a Fashion, the very reverse- of that of
ISABELLA. and our modern Belles : TACITUS re.
marks, of POPPEA the Queen of NERO, that she-
" concealed a part of her fnee:", to; the end, that
the imagination having fuller play, by irritating
curiosity, persons might think more highly of her
beauty, than if the ',whole of-her face bad bre,:
e.i.pated. •
Ir is said that the FAlntr.ss of RossiA and the
QUEEN Of PRUSSIA will attend their husbands in
the expected into, view at 'Memel. Hence some sa,
tirists have inferred, that -as cve,r)es are tO be pre-
sent,' the excursion must really be. a matterof husi-
nets, as.it cannot be a itirty of pleasure.
Since the commencement of the French Rem-
lution, there has been a very prevalent gout in.
France for English Malt Liquor ; we therefore hole,
should any Commercial arrangementsk.take place
between the two Countries, that this circumstance
will not be forgotten.
There are -Agricultural. Societies established in
every Department of France ; the SoCiety of the
Department of the Seine is_ very respectable for the
number, charatierS, and talents of its- Members
but it cannot be puf on any competition with the
English Board of Agriculture.

The, following is an extra& of, letter from a
'Gentleman in Kilrea to his friend in Beljart, which
communicates some particulars of the riot that hap-
pened there on the 7th.inst. being the fair day :••-•
I, About six o'clock,in the evening, after the,greatest
part of the people were supposed to have gone
home, a large mob, calling themselves Freemasons,
and headed Uy the Ma,ter.of the VoW 'Lodge as..
sembleol in a very tumultuous thanner,, armed with
Large Sticks or quarter-poles, and calling out for any
Orangeman or Protestant.• The Orangemen (who
had all gone. to their homes except about 17),
took every .affront without 'returning the least in_
jury, arid at length,. after being severely, beaten,
.they took refuge,in a house where they secured
theMselves as well, as they could ; 'but the mob ;:t.
tacked them there also, and broke • the window
with large stones ;• at last the Orangemen were
obliged to have recourse to wha: arms they ha,d, and
at fiest fired only piwder, which served, but to
make the mob more furious ; they were then ob-
liged in their own defence, to fire bull, which soon
dispersed them; but not till two men were killed
and several badly wounded. Two of the' rioters
have been since taken and sent to Derry, and seve-
ral have fled,"
