ITYNESOII., AUG. 7.

Yesterday, being the anniversary of the Princess
AMELIA'S birth-day,' their MAJESTIES gave a grand
dinner to the Princess, and other Members of 'the
Royal Family at dresent here, who congratu!ated
each other on the happiness they enjoyed, of having
the pleasing hope, from the improving state of the
Princess's health, to' meet for many years to come
on the same auspicious occasion.
On Friday the Otlictns of the Staffordshiie Militia
gave notice of their annual ball, which is to be held
at the Barracks. The largo rooms aee prepariig wit h
great splendour and taste. Some of the Royal Duke*,
and all the Nobility and Gentry of the - neghbour-
hood, are expetted as visitants,.

Our Theatre, whicti has been open for a week,
increases in fame, and consequently produces in-
creased profits to the Managers. There has not been
so good, a company here these many years, and a
very successful campaign is therefore expe;:ted. •

The inhabitants of Holland have already begun
to taste they ski eels of French incorporation. The
Master of a' vessel, that 'sailed from the Texel on
Friday, states, that a Conscription, comprehending all
young men from the age of fifteen to eighteen in-
clusive, was ordered, by the French C;oummrider in
Chief, to be immediately. levied. All the French
privateers had quitted the Texel, and several vessels
have lately arrived in that river without molestation.

On Monday last Major-General the Hon. W.
LUMLEY resigned the command of Chelmsford gar-
risoo, and lett the town for Portsmouth, in order to
embark to join Lord WELUNTON'S army in Portu-
gal. Three regiments in that district are under
similar orders.

The Spanish sheep which arrived at Plymouth,
within these few Jays (upwards of 4000), are in a
very sickly state : great numbers of them have died,
and it is feared that very few will ultimately be pre-
served. Several shepherds.and a great number of
Spanish dogs, have also come Over with them.
To-morrow the Home Circuit will commence at
Hertford., and Lord ELLENBOROUGH will open the
Cotumission there, accompanied by the Lord Chief
13;,r0n of the E,Kchectkier.
