SECOND DAT.
Tuesday morning Mr. Sadler's Yard, was *gaff
opened for publicly viewing the very fine animals,
and the curious agricultural and- rural implements,
&c. that were exhibited. During the mid ale of the
day the yard was quite full of practical men, inte-
rested in the first and most important of hum in art
among whom we noticed several- minent amateurs.
and persons of rank—and, considering the severity
of the weather, and the present adjournment of Par-
liament, Lord SOMERVILLE was heard to say in the
yard, that the attendance in the latter respect much
exceeded his expectation.

While the cloth was removing, his Lordship roses

of some persons against Met mo mutton, said, that he
had purposely until now omitted mentioning that all
the mutton of which the company had partaken was
of the Merino breed, from tie ft,cll-,1 Mr. J. Caw-

The next award read was a cup to his Lordship,
for his pen of Nieritto-kyeliod eae ,gs ; this mark
of the Judges' appro6ati • his I.ordshir said he
should set by for a future tappottmnif y of to:stowing it
on some one whom he mi6ht think had merited a

no more Merino lambs than ewes, as they seldom
had milk for more.

The award respecting the broad cloths of British
grown wool, began by stating. that none of the can.
didates had sent m the requisite certificates, as to the
growth or making up of the wool ; which the.sTudges
lamented, on account of the great merit of the cloth
produced by Thomas Joyce, Esq. from Lord Somer.
ville's wooleand by Mr. Richard Cooper, from C. C.
Tower's wool, as well as that by Mr. Richard Leas,
from Dr. Morrison's wool, and others. His Lord-
ship, however, for reasons that he stated, presented a
cup to Mr. William Walton, and another to Mr. Ri.
chard Lees, of Gallashields. His Lordship observed
that he had lately understood that the confining his
premium to broad cloths excluded a considerable
class of manufacturers, he should therefore in future
leave this premium open to narrow, as well•as broad
cloths, made of British grown wool. His Lordship
toi.k this occasion to state, that he had reason tobo

FRANKFORT, FEBRUARY 23.
According to the latest accounts received here from
Italy, the Old Castle of Verona, on the 11th instant,
surrendered to the Austrians. The battle of the Bth
was followed by another engagement on the next
day, but they had neither of them any result of con-
sequence. •
DUSSELDORF, FEBRUARY 25.
Since the 11th instant, the fortresses of Luxemburg
and Thionville have been blockaded. A part of the
Electoral Hessian troops compose the besieging force.
General Darnberg commands before the first, and
General Muller before the last. The troops which
were engaged before against Thionville have been
suddenly withdrawn to strengthen the Allied Armies.
BREDA, FEBRUARY 25.
Two Proclamations have been issued by the Allies,
and sent into Antwerp. The object of the one is to
instigate the inhabitants to rise upon the enemy, in
order to prevent the bombardment of their city ; the
other is to the military, and the garrison is warned
against any obstinate resistance, which .would insure
their being sent into Siberia on the reduction of tlio.
place. It was accompanied by an offer of free pardon
if they assisted in the designs of the Allies.

From Qstend we learn that the number of the gar-
rison is 1200, and that great preparatiOns had been
made for the defence of that place by deepening and
opening the dykes, by collecting provisions, and by
contributions on the inhabitants in the neighbouring
districts.
• Persons from that vicinity state that the whole coun-
try round Ostend is under water, and that the peasants
are so much enraged at this circumstance that 4000
of them have armed themselves and have compelled
the enemy to keep close within the walls.
Ral • 2.RDAM, MARCH 5.

From Goes we learn, that on the (2d a heavy can-
nonade was heard there, occasioned by the entrance
into the Scheldt of two ships of war of 50 gins, one
English and the other Russian, and which were fired
upon from the batteries of Flushing. 'l3nth the ships
went aground, but the Itnasian soon floated: armed
boats had been sent to lighten the English vessel,
which was still aground, though out of the reach of
the cannon.
We learn from Breda, that on the 3d, 1600 French-
men were expected there, who had been nude priso-
ners between Mons and Valenciennes.•

We refer our Readers, with the exultation which
we hope is common in all honourable minds; to the
letter from the gallant Count ErEscaas, describing
the reception experienced by his Royal Highness.
MONSIEUR in the territories of his ancestors. This
may be considered as a decided approximation to the
dowhfal of the infernal Dynasty which has scourged
Europe for so many years ; and if the same bright
flame of patriotism and loyalty, which has thus burst
forth among the inhabitants of Alsace . and Franche
Cornpte, shall manifest itself in other pins of France,
we may entertain a reasonable hope that . the Allied
Sovereigns will be enahled to employ a
,new and
a powerful engine against the enemy of all legitimate
• thrones, and with a prospecfcf effects, which, though
slow in manifesting themselves, promise results for
which there were but faint grounds of hope, while
the French remained in such a state of passive apathy.
Tho. cause of the Imperial mandate of the 24th
nit. against the " badges of the ancient dynasty" i.,,
now explained. By that day the Tyrant Must have
heard something of the reception which the BouttnoN
Princes had met in a part of their ancient territories.
The intelligence must have sounded like the knell of
death to the ears of the Usurper. Who can, calm
late the physical and moral effects which may Llow
froM this event ! If it does not thin the ranks of tilt

op,presser it will retard their increase :—while new
armies opposed to the tortured fiend must divide hi
force, distract his attention, embarrass his °mations ;
and, at the same time, strengthen, in an inverse ratio,
the arm of his assailants, who, it will be seen, will not
fail to avail themselves of the advantages which this
event prom:ses to the cause in which they are embark
ed. —They are now freed from an embarrassing situa-
tion. Their actual entrance into France was the
best possible pledge they could give to the people of
that country, that they would afford them protection
in any attempt to throw off the yoke of the tyrant and
regain their liberty. Their conduct in the countrie:
they had occupied, gave the best possible practical
illustration of the principles and views by which they
were actuated; but either from fear or from apathy

the French kept aloof, and avoided declaring them
selves.- What could the Allied Sovereigns do in such
circumstances ? They had pledged themselves not tt
ifterfere with the internal affairs of France : and had
they sited otherwise, the very men who have been
loudest in censuring their measures, would have been
the- first to condemn them for rashness—for commit-
;d their states on principles foreign
of legitimate warfare.
• changed—happily chantect. If
the French people declare for the
ie Allies are justified in listening
A usurped Government is held te,
while its rights'are not ciallenged
when the people question it, other

Powers are justified in entering upon the question of 2
right, is one concerns the general-interest of all other
states.
We need not enlarge. The Public can be at no
loss to follow;his obvious chain of. reasoning to its
legitimate conclusions.—The prospect is cheering.—
Let us hope that in other parts of France the people
will follow the loyal and patriotic example that has
been set before them. Should this take place, we
may soon hope, in the French stile--.-BONAPARTE will
have ceased to reign.

Reports of new disasters to the Tyrant continue to
be circulated. To-day it is rumotsred in the City
that ACGEREAU has joined the Allies with all his
forces ; but no credit is given to the report.

Accounts have been received from the Marquis of
WELLINGTON% army to the 21. th, stating that opera-
tions had been commenced against the outer works
of Bayonne, and that the town itself would soon
be bombarded. It thus appears that it is not the
intention of the Noble Marquis, as has been repre-
sented, to mask this place with a small force, and to
move the greater part of his army into the interior
of France ; on the contrary, we understand it is con-
sidered necessary, in the first place, to reduce Bayonne,
in order to secure a regular supply to the army, and
to possess a suitable port for communication with this
country. The force which his Lordship, according
to the most recent accounts, had before Bayonne and
on the Adour, amounts to 50,000 British, 25,000
Portuguese, and a large body of Spanish troops.—
The following is an abstract of the contents of some
letters received by the WalsingliAm packet, which,
however, reach only to the '2l st :

4' His lordship had been at St Palais, superintending the
operations of the right column of the army, and had rrturned
again to St. Jean de Luz after Sir RowLAND HILL had estab-
lished his advance bey sad the Gave de Oleron. The atten-
tion of the enemy, and the greater part of his forces, having
been drawn to the interior, it was intended, on the 21st, to
begin the necessary measures for laying a bridge of boats over
the Adour below Bayonne, but the weather proved unfavour-
able. Lord WELLINGTON, under these circumstances, in.
tended to go again to the right, in order to make some further
movements in that quarter, and to place Sir R. HILL in a situa-
tion to occupy the greater part of the enemy's forces perma-
nently, and thus to prevent them from opposlog any serious op-
position to the formation of the bridge, or die passage of the
troops foaming the left and main body of the army over i:."

This morning Mr. HASE, of the Bank, waited
up,n the gentlemen of the Stock Exchange, and in-
formed them, that the CHANCELLOR of the EXCITE-
Qum would be ready on Tuesday next to receive the
bichliags fQr a new Lottery.
It was confidently stated yesterday in the City,
that there were letters in Town from France, stating
positively the defeat of Bt)NAPARTE by Marshal Lt.u-
craft, with the loss of 70 pieces of cannon, Other
reports stated, that the Cossacks had entered Dunkirk
and Boulogne, and that Antwerp had fallen. All
these are probable events, but they are not confirmed
by any arrival this day.
Letters have been obtained to t!,e 2J ult. from
Ancona, and to the 13th, from Trieste. By the for
mer it appears, that /be army under DEACiIAIiNOIS
.was retiring from Italy, and that Genoa was not the
situation to which he meant to withdraw. The forti-
fications of that place had undergone some improve-
ment, but the works for that purpose have for some
time been discontinued, and the report of his repair-
ing thither, is understood to Le only a contrivance to
veil his real design, which is the abandonment of the
whole country.—The accounts from Trieste inform
us, that a Deputation had waited upon the Emperor
ALEXANDER, to oder him the Sover&gnty of the
portion of Dalmatia, comprehended in the territory
of Cattarn.

Yesterday a Court of Direoors was held at the
East India House, when Captain BOYCE, of the
Coutts, todc leave, previous to his departure for China.
Captain LicaPsoN was sworn into the command cf the
Lady Castlereagh, destined to Bengal. -
A letter from Barbadoes, dated January 19, say,
"•Your let,cr of October last, with several others,
'las been r,:ceived in this-island by a circuitous cArse,
the packet Pi inc 41 Mary, in which was the bag con
caiaing them, having been captured in sight of our
•:and by the American privateer Fox. ' h appears,
that the FL.): sent into Grenada the bag ler that
settlement, with such of our le:ters as could be col-
lected ; for the bags belonging to this place were, it
seems, destroyed by the shot before the packet .s:ruck
o the Fox, and the letters scattered about, sl that
•mly those that were collected and picked up by bet-
ter disposed persons, and put into the Grenada bag,
have come to hand ; among these was your last let-
ter.—The QUEEN, 74, Captain Lord COENILLE, ar-
rived on the 10th, with such part of her convoy as
she was able to collect ; many of the ships are still
missing, and it is feared will not be satisfactorily ac-
counted for; some are stated to have foundered,
mod others are known to have been taken. Com-
modore RODGERS was to windward of the island,
is the QUEEN and her convoy came down ; but
they neither saw nor learned any thing of him.—
He brought-to a vessel which had been taken, and
afterwards given up as a cartel by the French fri-
gates, which had the sweeping of our seas before his
arrival, to pick the gleanings left by them. RODGERS
did not detain this vessel, and behaved with great
politeness to those on board her. This took place
within three days sail of Barbadoes. His Majesty's
ship LE RHTN, Captain MALCOLM, immediately on
receiving this intelligence, set sail in. search of Mr.
RODGERS. We have not had any intelligence of LE
RHIN since her departure on this cruize. Captain
MALCOLM had orders to take the DASHER sloop in
company, if she should fall in with her, which we
conclude has been the case."

Tut REAL JOHN BULL.—A farmer, near London,
come time ago made a purchase of an Alderney cow,
which he told his bailiff to lead into the pasture : the
man considered some time, and then refused to do it

was resolved, saying, "he would not take care of a
French cow for any master upon earth." • -

•DIESCAAS, CAPTAIN of THE GUARDS OF MONMCUR.
U Vesuul, Franche Comte, Feb. 22.
" We reached Basle on Saturday evening, and
left it on Sunday ; and are now arrived here in
Franche Comte. Through all the towns and villages
we have passed, all ranks of people have received us
with acclamations, and with cries of " Vire / Rai
Louis YYIII. d les Bourbon;."
" They were enchanted to behold our dear Prince,
whe'se demeanour has greatly affected them; women,
children, old men, all struggling to be first to kiss
his hands and clothes. Pleasure was painted in "very
countenance. They were so delighted with Ole aff,r-
bility of Monsieur, that nothing was to be seen but
tears of joy. The old men and women said, " We
shall die content, since we have the happiness of being
again under our old masters, who have always lived
in our hearts." Others cried, "We give you our
hearts, for the monster has left us nothing else."
44 When we arrived here, another scene took place.
The population of this town is only. about 5000 toulS :
the whole came out tb meet us. They entreated us
to go in on foot, that every one might see his Prince.
It was an intoxication of joy.

44 The nobility is faithful in all the pnvinces.—
Gentlemen flock in from all parts, announcing that
all the peasants of their communes are at their dispo-
sal, and are crying out to be allowed to march for
their legitimate Sovereign. •
" An emissary from Alsace came in to-day with
a request to the Allied Powers, to be permitted to
raise a Legion with the White Cockade to assist in
the re-establishment of their legitimate master.
" Towns request to surrender to Louis XVIII.—
All France is ready to rise, in spite of every attempt
to.prevent : but such attempts will be in vain—
France will free herself.

64 On the first day of our entering France we tra-
velled 3:3 leagues. aid the Prince been an Angel
from Heaven, the people could not have sliewn more
eagerness to see him."

Mosureue. —The only way now to read this ad-
mirable and ingenuous newspaper, is to peruse it like
the Witch's Prayer, backwards, and to reverse all
the accounts. The most surprising part is how much
the soldiers of the Allies resemble the troops in The
I?chearsal. They are killed, destroyed, annihilated,
and then they all get up and fight again another day.
Such troops as these must be in% incible.
SOME ACCOUNT CF THE LAST MOMENTS OF THE
DUKE D'Ee.outeN.—Every one knows that this ex-
cellent but unfortunate Pi ince, to whom the French
royalists looked as their great hope, was carried away
from Itastadt, by the orders of that Monster whose
climes and good fortune have rendered his name
but too famous. This detestable act of violence
and pei fidy, of which history scarcely leaves us.
an example, was performed by 300 Hussars, whom
the Corsican bad directed to be chosen for the
execution of his cruel intention against this un-
happy Prince, who, on the day on which he was
seized, happened to be engaged with a hunting part y
in the neighbourhood of Itastaar. He had previously
received from different persons, hints of the danger
which threatened him, but which, from some unfortu-
nate fatality, he did not attend to. He most probably
felt himself safe under the protection of a neutral state,
tu.en at peace with France ;be that as it may, he de-
cidel upon returning to Rastadr, and to occupy his
former apartments, which he accordingly did. In the
middle of the night, Caulaincourt, the worthy con-
' titiant of such a master, entered the town full gallop,
at the head of his 3eo assassins, who surrounded the
house of their unhappy victim, and forced the door.
.On hearing the noise the Duke immediately got up and
seized his double barrelled gun, which was loaded in
the room, determined to perish as a brasie man ought.
One of his principal Officers, in whom he placed the
greatest
confidence, but who has always been suspect-
ell of has ing betrayed his master on this occasion, re-
presented w him that any resistance would be useless,
afid that the only chance he had of saving that lite so
dear to .ill true Frenchmen, would be to throw himself
upon the generosity of 'Bonaparte, who would be'
at raid of taking away the life of the last of the family
of the great. Conde, who had always been the idol of
the Frencli nation. This argument induced the
Prince to lay down his arms, which he had no sooner
done, than Caulaincourt entered, at the head of a part
of his escort, with their swords drawn and pistols in
their hands. Having told him what the orders of his
toaster were, the Prince immediately followed him,
without speaking, and was put into a chaise de
poste, which only stopped toe change horses till
they arrived at Paris, where he was immediately put
into thy Temple. Hulin, the President of the Com-
mission appointed to try him, without even allowing
him to make any defence, read to him the sentence of
death which had been passed unanimously upon him
by these monsters. The unfortunate D'Enghien was
immediately removed to Vincennes, and thrown into
a dungeon there. Caulaincourt, having noticed the
high spirit which h.: had exhibited since his arrest,
and, perhaps, Leming the effect it might have on the
soldiers, gave an internal order that the Prince
should be deprived of all food, that he might appeal'
depressed, and unlike himself, at the moment of his
execution. This, however, did not prove to be the
case. In the middle of the night he was taken out of
his prison, and conducted, by the light of torches, to
the side of a deep hole, into which a quantity of
quick-lime had previously been thrown. Savary,
now at the head of the police of Paris, fixed a
small lantern to the* Prince's button, to serve as a
mark for the soldiers to fire at. Having assisted in
fixing it, and surveyed first of all his grave and then
the soldiers, he called to them, with a most comman-
ding voice, to fire. The soldiers, however, remained
immovable ; and it was not till Hulin and Savary
bad reiterated their commands, that these satellites of
the tyrant could be induced to discharge their pieces
at the unfortunate victim, who fell dead by the side Of
the grave which had been prepared to receive him.
