UR. STUART HALL.

Wt understand that it has been doubted by mans
persons whether the Letters which appeared in the
Intercepted Corresontience under' this Gentleman's
name, were genuine ; and even.whethet there Was
such a person existing.
We cannot wonder at this circumstance ; it was
certainly not easily to be creLlited, that a Briton
should at thii moment not know " brio to offer up
his prayers to Heaven ;" that even the pusibiirty
of prajitri "for the success of the Enemy" should
enter into his mind ; that a man, " colivineed that
the French were at the bottorn of the, iNsurredion in
Ireland, and that they 'will afford in time and place,
assistance to the Rebels," should not " dare to pray
to the Creator to aid our arms I" It is very well
known, however, who this Writer is ; he was
formerly an Attorney at Madras, the Agent of the
late perfidious NABOB of ARCOT, the intimate
friend and adviser of a distinguished Member of
the Opposition, who, before Mr. ADDINGTON and
he bad discovered the congeniality of their minds,
espoused that Nabob's cause. • •
Not trusting implicitly, however, to the honesty
of the Moniteur, we indulged, as long as it was pos-
sible, a hope that the desire of the French Govern-
ment to vilify the British Charader• had induced
them to forge this singular Letter; but Mr.
HALL has not disavowed it, and it appears in judg-
ment against him.
Upon the Letter itself we make no comment ;
we hope that there are not many men who con d
have written such a letter; and above all, that if the re
should he any such, they will not he "employed by the
Government us an important and honourable Miision!"
For it seems that Mr. HALL had no objettion to
receive the pay of the Country, for the success of
whose arms he dared nit pray, or to owe his ap.
pointment to the faiour of a Minister whom he de.
scribed in the terms that follow : " In the circum.
stances in which
_Mr. ADDINGTON is placed, he
seems desirous to trample on the air, and in the
pride of power and importance he tramples, ander
foot all those who do not think and at? 'with him,
as beings unworthy of his notice. Puffed up with
'vanity, he believes himself it DONIOSTHENES in
the Senate, and dares to ridicule the best Ora-
tors, who oppose his measures. lie has become
the most arrogant Minister that ever governed this
Couniu, and is at the same time regarded as the
weakest man that ever entered Ws Majesty's Cabi.

NATHANIEL Lae, the Author of several drama.

ciently honoured by the English Nation, died in a
mad.house in London. While he was there he
composed his Tragedy of The Rival Querns. As
he was employed onr night in writing it by the
light of the moon, a slight cloud suddenly intercept.
ed the right : he immediately exclaimed, in an
imperious tone, " Rise, 7upiter, and miff the moon."
The cloud, however, became more thick, and the
moon entirely disappeated ; upon which he burst
out laughing, and exclaimed—" Blodhead, I de.
sired him to snuff the moon, and he has put it out."

HAGUE, DEC. 17.

THE greatest dispatch is now used in supplying
the Ships of War and Transports now lying in the
canals of our Republic, with the necessary provisions
and ammunition before the frost sets in, The
number of Transports is about 300, in the road of
Flushing and other places. It is hoped that the
cold will not be so severe as to freeze them up, and
prevent the departure of the Expedition.
The march of the Troops to the coast still continues.
Gen. QUAYTA, who has been ill but is now recover.

have furnished them are to be paid from the Na-

"The Ft RST CONSUV. is speedily expeEted at Os.

It appears, by letters from Stockholm, that the
Swedish Government, by a late ',ilia, has subjea-
ed to a very stria and severe censure, the Danish
Newspapers, as well as all fugitive pieces, periodi-
cal and political Works, published in Dernulrk, on
account of the unrestrained Liberty of the Danish
Press, especially with regard to the political system,
and some recent measures and arrangements of the
Court of Stcckholm.

The Tides in the River Thames, on Saturday se'n..,
night, were uncommonly high : that in the afternoon
was the higllest, and exceeded in height any Tide
for seven years past ; it flowed till near half past
four o'clock, and then stood about iftfi,ht inches
higher than the usual Spring Tides, but was not so
high, by near six inches, as the great Tide in Fe-
bruary 1791. The Tide of Saturday morning fell
short of that in the afternoon, not more than three
or four inches ; and much damage was done on the
Banks of the Thames, by the filling of warehouses
and cellars. Westminster Hall would have been
again inundated ; but since. 179 r, a new floor has
been- laid upon arches, laid on the stones of the
floor, which has raised. it out of the reach of the
Tides.

Thursday afternoon, while a Lady who lodged
in the house of Mr. Rontrrs, of Clapham, was
standing by the lire, wniting for company who were
to dine with her husband, the red-hot poker falling
from the grate, set her cloatip; in a blaze. Her
screams brought to her assistance the landlord of the
house, who throwing a carpet over her, extin-
guish:id the ;lame:. Though dreadfully burnt, some
hoges are entertaiaed of her recovery.

THE malefaa.or, Wjais, who was executed
on Saturday last,• for uttering a forged note, evinced
by his last dying declaration- the sincerity of his
penitence. He, in a manly tone of voice, declared
to the spedators he deserved the fate he was con-
demned to undergo—that he had been guilty of many
fads of ame nature of that he was convided
for. rned all concerned in such fraudtilent
traffic t eitup ; that he had made discoveries
to Major SI RR of all his associates, purchasers, and
employers ; that he desired his thanks might be
conveyed to that excellent magistrate, who, he was
confident, exerted his interest to save his life, but
that the extent of his crimes rendered it imnos)ible
in Government .to stop.the exercise of the law.
The above unfortunate:man, besides toeing a ca.
pital engraver; had othci-,great ability; he could
make any kind of musical, instrument he had ever
seen, and was one of a band of a yeomanry. corps in

musician. In consequence of his discovery to Major

DONNYBROOK FAIR,

On Tuesday the 2.3 th ult._ aceiirding
,to ancient
custom, commenced ; and on Sunday, notwithstand.
log. the appearance of the Dublin Magistrates with
Squadron of Dragoons, many thousand persons of
all classes., ages, and distin4tion,, visited the Green,
as if to,view.the scene from which they were to ex.
perience so many houra..of revelry, on the removal
of the restrittion placed for the due observance of

the Sabbath.
At an early hour In the morning, and during the
entire day, the road from Dublin presented
motley a cavalcade as `on any former or similar oc.
casion. Coaches, chariots, landaus, jingles, gigs,
cars of all kinds, barouchel, curticles, noddies,

,hunting carts, dirt carte, dray horses, colt", mares,
geldings, mules, and asses, followed in such rapid
`succession, that' the pedestrians had hardly a apace
left to them, except upon the pathway, which Was
plentifully .strewed ,with-whiskey, ale, and cyder,
.and a great Profusion of rotten oranges, green ap.
sugar pease, sweet whey, red herrings, cheese,
and gingerbread—occasitinaliy relieved by showmen,
hedge gamblers, and a numerous groove of impure:,
with their paramours from town, who preferred
Adams's ten.toed machine, -to the best vehicle losie
or money could procure.
Arrived at the Fair Green, one was naturally
astonished. at' the strange .confusion of noises that
issued from a thousand uninstrueled musicians, pro.
ducing that kind cf ear.offending discord which
ilogarth 'describes sohumourously in his print of
the garaged ljidler ; the young FlOrio's were un.
conscious of their want. of harmony—and while
one capered to the" lascivious numbers" (*la penny
fife, anothq blew a soleMn blast from a Tunbridge
trumpet, with all the energy o$ S'nnitlt or Wihnan ;
drums wer'e innimvrable, aNd th.,usand. little gen.
demen strutted round the' Fair wooden swords,

like 5,, m'any B ',nap:arc's •
Although the tents were struck at an earlyih..mr
by the Lord M,,yot's dire&i,ms, the pcOple'could,
not resist tlte opportunity of drinking healths. to.
rlwlr friends in Dublit --,and accordingly the scite
of each tent was'occupted by those who 'had hired
the ground, who accommodated all kinds of cus.
tomers at theii. noshiltered -larders,:without any
distinBion of rePielon. Whiskey punch, the poiton,
or as some enemies to water.drinking term it, the
honey of this Country, was mixed in churns, tubs,
and buckets, and the Dodder's banks, if they were
moulded into man, and received the breath of life,
could testify' how many votaries of Bacchus reeled
beside. its stream till 'Monday morning. •
Yesterday the tents were eteaed,.and the Fair was
visit,lbythousands.,- the Rock road was in a manner
de,erted, as nearly all the sixpenny neck.bre,,kers
plied at Donnybrook.
On Sunday, when Heaven was theie canopy, and
the earth their foot.stool, the sovereign' people, as
they are contemptuously termed, experienced a 'de.
lightful day, which they well merited by their ex.
Iremely proper condua, and a due regard for every,
law but that of sobriety.

CHELMSFORIS, OCT: 24.

THE fate of the miserable Hanover;Ans was tru!y
pitiable. They were marched (123) into Ch.:I;o.„
"ford-63 were littered down in a stable s,,nte
accident (either by their pipes, or some other mearm
'the • chips of a carpenter's shop were set on 6tr,
together with some hay, and before ..the ;vhole of
these poor men could get out, the fire fell in on
them, by which means te, were burnt to death, and
six miserably scorched.
Many lost their clothes.—By the b,Anty of his
Royal Highness the Dustg of St/ 49F X, they were
,comfortably re-clothed, and enabled to proceed oh
their march.

The DUKR expressed himself with very much
feeling on this melancholy occasion, and proved, by
his well-timed liberality, the sentiments of a Princely
heart.

LOPE AT FIRST SIGHT.

ANOTHIR lucky wedding took place in the he.,
ginning cat last week.' Mt. P. a Gentlemin in the
wine trade, with a fortune of about .80001. paising
along a street, in the neighbourhood of (NEGRI-road
saw a pretty" rustic girl, with ruddy check, and
sparkling eye, vvhose tout ensemble made so stid4o
and forcible an impression ors, his breast, that he in.
scantly .requested to see her home. She told him,
with a modest blush, he mightsee her to her aunt's
- house, to.which she was then going ; and in a few
minutes they arrived at 'the +Km. The moment
they were seated, he frankly proposed to the aunt
to marry, her,oiecs. She, with equal candour, in:.
forruzd him, that the girl was a mere rustic cif low
birth and parentage, her
,farher.being a cottager at
Harrow, who earned his daily subsistence by the
low, 'hut honest, industrious calling of a hedger
and ditcher.. This frank account made no im.
x ession disadvantageous to his lovely Jenny, in
the generous mind of Mr. P. who repeated his firm
determination, and married•her the next day.

On Toesday a respite of ;one week was received
at Ilchester, for 'll,l,inners, Fuller, C4ines, and
Warne, whu were to, have been executed the fol.
lowing morning; on, which day,, an arriiticitiiss.
\Printer issued- through the city, a full account of
Ahe birth, education, and dying words of the un.
fortunate Prisoners.

On Tuesday morning the bar window of: the
Running suck Inn, at Ipswich, was broke open,
and three casks of liquor, with a, vanity. of plate,
stolen. One of, the thieves got so.much intoxicated
with the liquor, that he was unable to move from
the spot, and was found asleep in the morning with
a brush, the property of the landlord,. under his
head. Those who had the bootyvhowever, masse
their escape. • - ,
Saturday- a hackney coachman, named,Wenman,
was charged at Marlborough.street Police Oce,
with an assault, and an attempt to extort money. A
Siinmwms stated, that on Friday evening he
hired the coach at Charing.cross for the accommo. •
dation of two• Ladies :and himself, ,and :ordered the
drivei to eroceed • to Chatlotte.street, l'ortland,
Place.H-The man walking his horses, Mr. Sinunonds
repeatedly de,ired him to. use more expedition; on .
whichWenman became very abusive, descended from
his box, and at length dragged the parry out of his.
coach, threatening at the same time to send them
all to the waich.hOuse,, unless they paid him half-
a.crown. This was refused,, on which he struck:Mr.
Simmonds a severe blow, on the head with the but
end of his whip. Mr. S. on this. knocked him
down, and gave him in charge to the watch. Wen.
Man Was Committed to Bridewell, being unable' to
give bail for his appearance at the Quarter Sessions,.
to atiswiir for his very improper condufl.

A violent typhus .lever was lately cured by ad.

themselves, been eminently great, are no lont)er
subjet to the restraint arising from tadt and
grounded pledges of a reduco
expenditure.
With respect to Foreign`` Negotiations, little,
certainly, need be said. The charge brought against
Wirc,PITT, upon this head, 'commenced at a period
when scarcely sufficient time -had elapsed for an in.,
-terchange of Couriers with any Court in Europe.

On many of these points, Sir, and especially
with respet to the Additional Force• Al, I may
probably trouble yott again ; but I cannot conclude
without noticing the often.repeated charge of alarm.
ing the Public by frequent Rumours' of Invasion.
Great.as are the zeal and spirit of the Country,' it
is necessary from time to time to remind people of
all classes, oldie necessity of aetive exertion.• Many
causes have concurred in making this precisely the
moment in which that necessity, is the greatest.
These causes cannot recur for many months ; what
blame then would attach to the Government had
they taken such an -opportunity for repeating their
call upon the Nation ?

After all, wherein does this supposed alarm con.
sist ? In the adoption of measure: necessary to be
immediately taken. And ought Ministers to ne.
glca their duty in these particulars ? Ought they
to omit the means of real defence, lest the minds of
men should be too much alarmed now, or lest they
should be some degrees too supine when the neces.
sity for vigilance shall not be so great ?

Sure I am that the animadversions of the Morning
Chronicle upon this subjeet tend to no- good end.
They are calCulated to impede the exertions of the
Governmeot;of whose: want of vigour they corn.
plain. They pass the striet line of Opposition (a
line never overstepped by,, Mr. PiTT), and seem to
be approaching quickly to thit most dangerous.sYs.
tern, which in the late War, did, in fa&, most,
material& injure the Public Cause, and probably
retard the conclusion of the Contest,

FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS.

PARIS, Auc. '22.—The Minister of Finance set
out two days ago to join His Majesty the Emperor,
who was to leave Raogne for Aix la Chapelle.
The Minister fur Foreign Affairs returned, on
the tgoh, from the waters of Bourhon.l'Archatn.

A Division of twenty-one Gun-boats of the first
class, arid Pinnaces,-arrived from Brest, in the night
of the 16th, in the Road of St. Malo, and sailt•d

not being in view, it approached Cherburgh about
one o'clock, p.
On the 16th. August the Anniversary of the
BirthAay of the Emperor was celebrated at Aix-13-

A person of distinaion, lately arrived at Gottin.

departure from Portugal, the Prince Regent was
preparing a magnificent present, which he intended

cording to report, a crown of gold, valued at a mil.

millions of our money,

'An article from Frankfort, of the r4th of August,

NOVEMBER I.

The business of 800,000 livres is at last con.
eluded with the General; he has contented himself
with this sum, and consents that the overplus of
what is received, being about 14,000 dollars, shall
be divided among these who have been over-taxed.
I am of opinion that this deduaion will only bear
on the first eleven who were taxed by the General,
and that the greatest proportion of the taxation will
not exceed 3300 dollars.
The embargo is just taken off, and about 300
individuals will leave the Cape to-morrow : they
are going to different places ; some to Baracoa,
others to St. Jago de Cuba, to America, to Porto
Plata, Cammana, and St. Thomas ; no matter where
they go to, if only they can get out of the reach of
that monster. . .

ROYAL BRISTOL VOLUNTEERS-.

We have frequently had occasion to notice the
patriotic spirit and excellent discipline. of this fine
Corps, a Corps, we may venture to assert, that
would do honour to the first city in the kingdom.
On Tuesday last, the Ist of May, a grand review
of the Regiment, by General FISHER, took place
on Durdham Down, near Bristol. They were all
under arms by ten o'clock in the morning, and
mustered upwards of a thousand strong. In the
course of the day, ten rounds of cartridges were
fired, and several_ field manoeuvres performed with
admitable.steadiness and precision. The very high
opinion the General entertained of the merits of this
excellent Corps, will appear from the following
Garrison Orders :

Major-General FISHER was much gratified by seeing the
respectable number of the Royal Bristol Volunteer Infantry_
that were present, under arms, at the Review this day,
amounting to r 096, including Officers and non-commissioned
Officers; especially when he considers the short-notice that
the Corps had for assembling. The zealous attention mani-
fested by all the 0 /Leers and the whole Corps, cannot he too
much applauded ; and the consequent good appearance of the

SOLEM QUIS DICERE FALSUM AUDEAT ?

LONDON, MAY 8, 1804.

IN conformity with the line of condua which, at
the present important crisis, we conceived it our
duty to adopt, we have studiously confined our-
selves to the statements of those faas respeaing the
Change of Ministers, which we could communicate
to the Public with confidence, because our informa-
tion was derived from the most unquestionable Au-
thority. We stated yesterday, that His MAJESTY
had expressed his desire that Mr. PITT should attend
him at Buckingham-House. In obedience to the
Royal Commands, Mr. PITT waited upon His MA-
JESTY yesterday morning, and had an audience
which lasted three hours ; the result of which was,
that Mr. PITT received His MAJESTY'S Orders to
lay before him the Plan of a new Administration.
It has been stated, that His MAJESTY expressed a
personal objeaion to Mr. Fox being a Member of
the new Cabinet ; we think, however, we can state
with accuracy, that His MAJESTY did not express
any personal objetlion to Mr. Fox, but that he
did suggest considerable difficulties as to the ap-
pointment of that Gentleman, founded upon many
parts of his political conduit, and upon the language
he has held upon various occasions. It is therefore
probable, that in the Plan of the New Administra-
tion which Mr. PITT is at present occupied in form-
ing, Mr. Fox will not be included. We feel the
greatest satisfaaion in stating, that Hls MAJESTY
appeared to be in the mulct petted health, and that
be spoke, during the whole of this long conversation,
with the utmost coolness, firmness, and colleted-
