HER MAJESTY'S Natal Day_was, perhaps, never
more generally and joyously celebrated, than at this
place on Wednesday last. At"the Ave and
thirty Gentlemen, among whom were, Generals
Lord FIUTCHINsoN, LENNOX, CHURCHILL,
HULSE, and HUGONIN; Colonels Sir R, WORSE..
LEY, SAYARY, BUSBY, LEIGH, and WALL; Major
Sir CHARLES BURREL ; Captains Lords E. and W.
SOMERSET, QUINTIN, MANAY, CALCRAFT, and
SPRoULE ; Admiral Sir EDMUND -NAGLE, I.4CC. &C.
partook of a sumptuous dinner with the PRINCE of
WALES.

From the Pavilion, the PRINCE of WALES and
the whole of the dinner party, soon after removed to
the Assembly at the Castle, where the happiness
which his Royal Highness's presence diffuses, had
been for some time most anxiously expetted. The
merry dance had enlivened its votaries for some
hours, and the company had just partaken of the
usual refreshments of tea and coffee, when the PRINCE
entered the room.

About twelve o'clock the dancing again com-
menced with the merry air of " Moll put the ket-
tle on," which was succeeded by the favourite
Scotch tune of " Lady Mary Ramsay;" at the
conclusion of which the company adj.)urned to the
Supper-room. The supper was not of the most
splendid description we ever beheld, neither were
the rooms illuminated in that striking and brilliant
manner as we have sometimes witnessed.

The supper over, dancing was again resumed with
Lady Sutherland's Reel; and the company began
not generally to retire until about four o'cloCk.—
The PRINCE withdrew about threw.

New-York Papers to the )4.thult.are received.
A letter from Washington, of Dec. s, says,
"Capt.Roc ERS arrived at this place on Friday last.
He has brought the important intelligence of the re.
storation of Peace between the United States and the
EMPEROR of MOROCCO. During the negotiation,
our Frigates were • moored in battle array, within
four hundred yards of Tangiers, for the purpose of
battering it down, in case Peace had not been made
upon the terms which he had dilated. Although
upon the batteries of Tangiers there were rOs pieces
of cannon, our Frigates were so stationed, that only
15 could bear upon them. This peace has been ef-
feeted without paying one cent for tribute, or as the
price thereof. The brig seized at Mogadore has
been restored. The EMPEROR was himself at Tan.
giers with 20,000 men at the time."
Letters of the 19th December from Gibraltar,
State, that on the 16th the Monmouth and Agincourt
Men of War, after having taken our their lower
deck grins, had sailed with sealed orders, in conse-
quence of dispatches from England : their destina-
tion not known.

The Atlas (rasee) of 74. guns, Veteran of 6+, and
Alexandria and Greyhound Frigates, at Chatham,
are ordered to be immediately fitted for sea.
The West India Proprietors, according to re.
port, have submitted a proposal to Government,
suggesting the expediency of suspending the Slave
Trade for five years. Whether this proposal arises
from a fear of increasing the negro population, after
the lamentable events which have happened in St.
Domingo, or whether it results from motives of
commercial rivalry, is not clearly ascertained. Both
principles may be supposed to have some influence,
but the former seems to be the most important, con.
sidering the general diffusion of democratical opi-
nions, and the success which has attended those
opinions in St. Domingo. •
Gcn. VICTOR., commanding the ,French Troops
in Holland, lately forced a young Dutch woman of
great beauty and fortune, into a contraft of marriage
for two years, at the expiration of which period,
each party is to be at liberty to do as they may
think proper. The Lady's friends obje&ed to the
alliance, and particularly urged, that as she might
be deserted at the end of the term, her fortune
should be held secure to her future occasions, but in
vain : the matter was referred to the Chief Consul,
and his decision confirmed the wishes of his creature.
This example has encouraged others to like violence,
and that unfortunate country is thus subjeded to a
new speties of injury and insult.

The Aid, WIK. CRANETCH, master, bound from
Bristol to Dublin, was lost on the I ith instant, and,
in the course .of the night, the wreck was towed on
shore about three miles to the northward of Wick-
low. The Master and crew were saved ; but seve-
ral passengers, viz. Mrs. CRA.NETCH, Mrs. MOR-
R SON, a Scotch Officer's Lady, a serjeant's wife of
the t Sth dragoons, a servant maid, and the Cap-
tain's son, a youth of nine years of age, were
drowned.

A reward of one hundred guineas has been of-
fered for the discover)• of the persons concerned in
the riot at Chester.

At the General Sessions of Peace for Ipswich,
held last week, IV. Lott and I. Pain were indifted
for an assault on Saratt Morgan, by attempting to
force her into a chaise with a view to carry her off;
when Lott was sentenced to pay a !fine of zol. and
Pain a like sum, and to be imprisoned 12 months in
Bury Gaol.

As a proof of the unusual mildness of the present
season, a blackbird's' nest was found at Ely, on
Tuesday last, with five eggs in it, and the old bird
