HARWICH, Auo. S.

Anour three o'clock this morning arrived the
Prince of Wales Packet, Capt. A. DEAN t, with the
Mail and Passengers from Cuxhaven ; and about
four o'clock this afternoon, arrived the Dia,va
Packer, Capt. OSBOR,N, with the Mail and Passen-
gers from Helvoetsluys.

Died yesterday, after a lingering illness, which
he bore with great patience and resignation, the
Right Honourable RICHARD Earl GROSVENOR.
Viscount BELGRAVE a,Ki Baron GROSVENOR of
Eaton, in the County Palatine of Chester. ,He is
succeeded in his titles and estates by his only Son,
ROBERT Viscount BELGRAVE, now Earl GRos.
VENOR.

The late Earl was a great sportsman, and his
loss will be very much regretted on the Turf.
He was the son of Sir ROBERT GROSVENOR, and
the first Peer of his family, being raised to that
rank in 1761. He was created an. Earl by Mr.
PITT in 1784. He was born in June 1731, and mar-
ried, in 1764, HENR ETTA, daughter of TgomAs
VERNON, by his wife, daughter of the Earl .of
STRAFFORD.

There has been a report for two or three days
that Lord HOLLAND has been killed at Paris in a
dud. We give little credit to the report.

There is an account, of another Indiaman having
been taken in the Indian Seas by a French Privateer,
the same we believe that was reported to have taken
the Porcher, viz, the Bellona, belonging to B9ar-
deaux, which ',ailed, it is said, from that port on the
toch of Ocinber, ten days after the signing the Pre.
liminaries of Peace.

It is now said that the Porcher is not taken, but
that she is arrived safe at Cdlona. We shall be
happy to learn that this is really the case.

We noticed in the French Papers a report of the
death of our excellent Icing, but we thought it
absurd to take any notice of it. The Morning
Chronicle of yesterday makes a very Pompous para-
graph of it, and adds to it a report, which we
believe to be equally unfounded, that His MA.
JEST Y ha; expressed a wish for the appointment of
a Regency.

Lord and Lady MDRPETH, says. a Morning
Paper, were not in Sir FRANc ts BURDETT% House
when the Procession arrived from Brentford, at the
final Close of the Poll, but'at Castle Howard.--
We consider it as due to the charatter of the young
Nobleman and his Consort, to repeat the state.
ment, that they did not sat Lion such a ceremony,
in such a place.

It is surmised that the Hon.. and gentle Mr.
LAMBE owed his success in Hertfordshire to the
assistanee of his Pic-Nir friends. It will hardly
after this he contended that they are a harmless set

Madame Viscom-ri is said to carry the nudity
fashion to an extretnc. But most of our -present
order of Belles are so conspicuous in this Ilshion,
that we do not conceive how it can'extend much
farther, unless they become entire Eves.
Some People are not a little surpiized
,to learn
th.it Mrs. SIDDONS should have appeared in the
character of Hamlet, but it ought to be remembered
that it is only in Ireland that she wears the breeches.

Mr. TURNER, the Barrister, who came out at
Covent Garden Theatre some time ago in Richard
the Third, is playin& in the Winchester Company,

SIDDONS, who has recently 'performed
Hamlet, in Dublin, appeared in the same charatier
at Bath, before she reached the zenith of her fame
in this Metropolis. There can be no doubt • that
she rendered ample justice to the part ; but, as it
is impossible for the imagination to be strongly in-
terested in the perfbrmanee of any male character by
a Woman, it is surprizing that the taste and jadg-
ment of this great Actress, did not .prei,ent her
from resuming it.

Early yesterday morning as'Mr. Salt9n, of Rum-
fordi.was coming to London with poultry 'and other
goods, he was stopped between Stratford and Bow
by three fellows armed with bludgeons, who de-
manded his money or ,his life. • Mr. S. delivered
what money he had, to the amount of 31. when the
villains made a precipitate retreat,
