Ttio.uon expectation was not raised by the fame
of the horses entered, the field was covered by a
fine chew of company, consisting of all the Nobility
and Gentry in the neighbourhood of Windsor, En.
glefield, Staines, &c. together with. crowds from
the Metropolis, in coaches, chaises, gigs, curricles,
See. The day was remarkably fine, and cooler
than for some time past, and there was abundant
amusement, though not of the kind to engage the
Amateurs of the Turf. The stands were well filled,
and the booths were crowded. The female part of
the company made a most captivating display, both
in dress and beauty. There was considerable sport-
ing on the Magna ChartadStakes.

EXTRACT OT A. LETTER f ROM AN ENGLISH GENTLE,
MAN AT PARIS, SLAT. 4.
" We have lost many of our Countrymen, whom
turiosity, pleasure, or the Arts have drawn to this
Capital : many reasons are assigned, which I believe
to lave been occasioned by the suppression of the
English Newspapers by order of BONAPARTE, on
account of the remarks contained in them on his
being named for life, &c. &c. The Palace of St.
Cloud is nearly completed for his reception, and
Which most of the Parisians look upon as hi; first
step to the Palace of Versailles, and the title of
Emperor of the Gaul,. As they say, it ne inut
pas trop faire 41 la foil—mais tout beau—doucement;
30 it is, but as to Liberty, c'est encore encha;nl.
Centinels at the end of every street, every bureau,
theatre,
garden, public cellars, &c.
of p The Parisians scum to exult that the superiority
aria i s so great to that of London, that it will
educe a continuance of as great a number of Eng-
lish here; but on the approach of winter, I fancy
they Will find themselves mistaken. Numbers take
a trip here instead of one to Margate, Biighton, or
Tunbridge ; and even Artists of every denomina-
/101l prefer viewing the public specimens of painting
*lnd sculpture in the summer than in winter, as
being both more convenient and agreeable.

" Talking about Artists, I must mention, that
have had visits from your celebrated President
Of Painting, Mr.WEsr ; OPIE is also here, and are
every day at the Louvre. Among Theatrical Gentle_
men I have seen KE2431.t, KELLY, BOWDEN;
vSGANONI and Vixc t, also from the Opera House ;
Sir JOHN GALLINI, Mr. WILLS, .and Mr. LAw-
11l of Edinburgh, have also been constant visitors
of Colon's Salle de Danse, who has the training of
the Eleves de l'Opera, not to mention your Mar-
chands des Modes...—so that nu doubt every new
step and new mode will find its way, the ensuing
'winter, in England. By the next opportunity I
'ill enter more minutely into some particulars,
which time will not at present admit of, and re.
L 1441, &c."

An Express was received at Lisbon on the zest
tilc. by the American Consul, from Gibraltar,
vitll intelligence of Peace having been restored
between
the Emperor of Morocco and the Ameri-
%ans.

A young man, named Penny, belonging to the
;_°%vn of Portsea, Hants, after having suffered many
lard reverses of fortune in fighting for his Country,
.'
ZUring the American and the late War with France,
..."2,3 lately, in consequence of an Advertisement
ich he saw in one of the Public Papers, come into
it,Be possession of a Freehold Estate of one thousand
three hundred a year.
yesterday a long private examination took place
before the Lord Mayor of several persons concerned
a supposed Forged Power of Attorney, which had
~en presented to the Sierra Leone Company fur a
"eaman's wages, to the amount of 391. zs. 4d. which
thLeY had paid; since which John Steyne, the sailor
"° it was supposed had put his mark to the
paper, has appeared and claimed his wages, posi.
ely denying that ever he gave any power to
leceive his wages, nor ever did put his mark to any
Power, as he can write very well, which he shewed
them. The Agent from Portsmouth, who had re-
c. eived this money, has positively sworn to the Sailor
being the man who had put his mark to this Power,
and had received slops to the amount of zol. and 181.
In notes and cash, and very clearly explained the time
Vhen, and persons employed to get his wages for him;
tliis was likewise substantiated by two more Gentle_
flea from Portsmouth,who had seen the sailor several
tittles, and sold him the clothes, &c. and that he
was then on board the Portland receiving-ship at
~°ttsmouth. This the sailor contradiaed ; said he
''iver was on board the Portland man of war at
_41,1, and endeavoured to give his Lordship an account
of all the different ships he had been on hoard of since
ri'e left the ship Nancy, in the Sierra Leone Compa-
j,"B employ ; but in his account he was not corral,
ah led his Lordship to express that it was either
forgery or a perjury, and ordered the Saiior into
tli'stotly till they should be able to ascertain wire_e! he had ever been on board the Portland, and
wdsdrated to the different ships he described, which
le lv doubted by the Agent's Solicitor, who begged
b eof his Lordship to have time to examine the
ILl3k) when orders were given for that purpose. In
he mean time Steyne made his escape.
To-morrow the Prisoners in the several gaols in
be City of London and County of Middlesex will
c tr_emoved to Newgate; in order to take their trials
"t. he ensuing Sessions, which commence on Wed-
sl,daLy next,
h,_!•ney write from Havre, that Sugar is by no
abundance in the-French forts ; and they
tear' that St. aomingo will not be able to furnish
tf.s._ With any for a long time to come. The price
Sugar at Havre is upon the rise.
