EXTRACT OP A LETTER non A GENTLEMAN DE•
TA/NED BY ORDER OP THE FRENCH GOVERN-
MENT, DATED VERDUN, AUG, 22.

I have heard nothing from you since May last,
but am in hopes there are Letters for me on the
road. We are by no means so comtbrtable here as
when I last wrote you, being deprived of every li-
berty the town affords. All Merchants and Skip-
pers being now closely confined to the Citadel ; and
we are told that we • must continue to endure it, in
consequence of an attempt being made by some of
the Prisoners to etre& 'an escape. This I have every
reason to believe is unfounded. We console our-
selves as well as we can. Provisions are cheap, and
good wine is very reasonable ; and had we been
confined here at first, we might perhaps have been
tolerably well reconciled to our fate; but we feel
the severity of the alteration, after having the liber-
ty of the town, and two leagues of the country for
our boundary."

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM PRINCE OF. WALES

ISLAND.

" We have some time since been under serious ap-
prehensions from the event of a disturbance which
had taken place between the natives in the Interior,
and is said to have originated in a dispute respeding
the privileges granted to the 'English. Some severe
skirmishes have been fought in the Woods, with va-
rious success, and much blood has been shed on the
occasion. Their differences have, however, been
accommodated by the interposition of one of the
Native Rajahs in the interest of the Company, with 7,
out inconvenience to this Settlement, and we hope
'4tranquillity is now established on a permanent foun-
dation. The grand embankment on the North
Coast is completed by the labours of the cenviets
from the Presidency ; and • the eneroachthent of
the sea, which haS lately done incredible damage, is
effectually stopped. No more cooviels will be
transported hither from the Continent 'of India, for
the space of three years to. come, from an appre7
hension that any greater number may endanger this
infant Settlement, as they might one day have it in
their poWer to assist the refradory Natives in case
of insurrection or discontent. The Treaty with the
king of Quida is finally concluded, and the treasure
from the Presidency,• in censideration of the ces-
sions made by that Prinee, has been transmitted
to the Royal Treasury.
"--A French Privateer has been seen cruizing off
this Coast, she appears to,be a new Vessel, of cen-
siderable force—has taken two or three native trad-
ing Vessels ; her name is said to be L'Emperear,
from the Isle of Franee. Some of our (.-rnizers are
in lawsuit of her; and we hope to bL: able to give a
better account of her soon."

A young wag who is on a visit about fifty miles
from town., being in want of a remittance, wrote
the following whimsical letter:

Matt write you this day, which is Mon.
day, and wean to send it by the Messenger who goes irons
hence to.morrow,:ruciday ; he will be in London by Wed.
nesday, and you will receive my later on Thursday. —You'll
please to let me have some Money by Friday ; I shall
quit this place on Saturday, and be with you on Sunday."

The Vienna Court Gazette mentions an earth-
quake -having taken place on the 24th of July, at
Eisenhartz„,in Styria. The first shock wis felt at
25 minutes past six in the morning, the second soon
after, and the third at ten minutes past ten. The
skrwas serene, and' free of . clouds, but the air was
close and heavy. It was in particular remarked that .
the smoke of the chimnies did not rise as.usual ;
but, on the contrary, descended towards the groUnd.
A northerly wind began to blow-et noon, and a Vio-
lent, shower of rain soon came on, which continued,
without interruption, until next morning. •
Mr. Sitantr lately gave a venison dinner at the
Town-hall of Reading, to above 400 per Sons ; and a
re \V days after treated a Widows' Club, with a water
excursion to his seat above six miles up' the river,
where he gave them an excellent dinner. The Club
consiSted of about WO Widows. —"V hey returned in
the evening witha band of music, to the Market-
place, where they separated in the most perfea har-
mony,, highly delighted with the Urbanity' and polite-
ness of their generous host. •
