WINDSOA, AtiCl:47 It

Yesterday the Duke of Yoftc's birth-day was eele,,
brated by ber MaissYY, at Frogmore Lodge, but not
upon such a grand or extensive scale as the PRINCE
REGENT'S on Friday. The company did not dine in
the tents and marquees as on that occasion, but in the
house, where upwards of one bundled dined. The
PRINCE REGENT, attended by the Earl of Yiastotrru,
arrived about six o'clock from London ; his Royal
Highness was received at the door by the Princess
CHARLOTTE, who had previously errivpd from Cm--
bourn Lodge, attended by the Dowager Countess of
ROSSLTN and General GARTH.
The bands of the Royal Horse Guards, and of the
.sth Regiment, who are quartered here, played alter-
nately during the entertainment.
The dinner consisted of every delicacy, and in greet
abundance. After dinner the company retired to tie
rlom adjoining the Library, where her Majesty':
band, dressed in their uniform, performed a cuncert.
at the close of which, the QUEEN and the Royal party
sat down to a sumptuous supper.
The Duke of Yonx left noun after nine o'ci.o.k,
for London.
Her NIAMTT, With much to the Duke
of YORK, invited all his private and particular friends,
together with those of the Duchess, who used to be
present at Oatlands when his birth.d.ty was ce4-
brated there.
']'he Quakx, the PRINCE REGENT, and all the Royal
Family went to the Cistle to sleep, except the Prin-
cess CitAnLarre, who returned to Cranbourn Lodge.
This morning the Pittsca REGENT left Windsor,
and the Duchess of YORK left for ()Aland:.
The Earls of MAcCr E'rIELD and ARRAN, and Lord
ST. HELENS, left for London, as did Count MuNsrsp,
Sir THOMAS STEPNEY, Generals MANNIIRS, CAMP-
CELL. and GWYNNE Colonels Howitan awl UPTON,
and Mr. and Mrs. STANHOPE.

On the Birth-day of the Putsce Realm the Duke
of YORK, whose kindness to the children of the Mai.
tary Asylum at Chelsea is well known, sent them a
present of Fire-works, which were exhibited under
the care of proper persons, from Woolwich. The
children were drawn out in the inclosure ; the boys
superintended by Serjeants, the girls by their M's-
tresses and Nurses. It was a cheering thing to hear the
huzzas of the former, upon the sight of the splendid
curiosities ; and to witness the admirable neatness and
decorum of the latter.

Dispatches from Quebec have been received by
the Eocus frigate, but which do not detail any fresh
orerations.
All the men of war, as they arrive from the Medi-
terranean, are to be paid off without delay. The
ORLANDO, and several other frigates, have been sent
from thence to the coast of America.

Letters from St. Petersburgh of the Sd of July
mention that the tariff of 1811, with . the alterations
made in 1812, was to be in force during the ptesent
year.
The number of sick and disabled soldiers lately ar-
rived horn France, and remaining in the Isle of
Wight, amounts to upwards of 500 men.
A notice was received at LLOYD'S on Tuesday morn-
ing, from the Transport Board, stating, that they were
not in want of any mere transports.
The POPE, with great propriety, has forgiven all his
subjects their dereliction of prinziple during the late
troubles. The Bishop of SPoutro, appointed such
by BoisiAPAstsr, has published a recp.ntatino, begging
pardon for having accepted an appointment from a
tn.in who had rto right to give it, and expressing
great contrition for his conduct, which he declares to
have been the effect of fear. Now, if such is the
case, how could he be sure that he should not be
frightened into similar offences again, if any other
powerful tyrant should oppress the See, or even Bo-
NA PA RTE raise his head again ?
We understand, that in consequence of the extreme
difficulty of finding an appropriate mansion for the
NELSON family, after so many years of research, the
project of purchasing one for the Duke of WELLING-
TON is abandoned, and a new one is to be built for his
Grace, on a design of his own selection ; the funds to
be furnished from the grants voted by Parliament, as
a national remuneration for his Grace's services, and
as a provision for maintaining the dignity of the
dukedom.

Mercer's Hall, in Cheapside, having undergone
repair, presents once more a fine ornament in the
city. The figures of Faith, Hope, and Charity, with
the surrounding architecture, are generally admired,
and in their present improved state are seen to great
advantage.

THE NEW Ommixo.—The workmen employed to
pull down the houses in the Haymarket proceed with
great rapidity. A passage is now open a short dia.
tance above the Opera House, which leads into St.
James's square, through Charles-street. A publican,
in one of the houses now pulling down, who had paid
but little attention to repeated notices to quit, was
disturbed on Monday m inning white he was in bed.
on the attic, by several blows on the roof, and belore
he could rise, two pick axes came through the ceiling.
He found, on inquiry, that the men were pulling
down his house, and then, for the first time, he thought
of removing. Before his goods were all out, two
stories were thrown off the house.

A Liverpool Paper contains two advertisements for
the sale of plantations and estates in the West Indies;
at the foot of one it is stated, that there are upwards
of 100 Negro Slaves, 40 children, and a 'stock of
cattle! all to be taken together II ! The other enu-
merates 65 healthy and well-disposed Negroes, 1:5
mules, oxen, bulls, cows, calves, &c. !—The Slave
Trade, and Wert India Slavery, are two distinct thing,.
The Abolitionists have but half dote their work.—
The latter enormity exists still with all its horrors.—
On this subject we would recommend to the atteation
of the friends of humanity, a recent work by Dr.
Dlocsox, in which are many useful details furnishing
7ractical evidence that, only by emancipation of the
;laves, can the West India Colonies ever be brought
to a state of prosperity and safety.
The wife of a respectable citizen has excited a good
deal of curiosity at Margate. She bathes in a green
dress. without a cap ; and, attached to she shoulders
of the dress is something resembling fins. She swims
remarkably well, and the peculiarity of her parapher-
nalia, together with her long black hair, have occa-
sioned many to believe, who saw her bathe, that it
was a oistroaid, and they have actually written borne
to their friends, assuring them of the fact.

ca,MD JUBILRE IN COliK.

The preparation; for the Jul;ii,Le in Cork, in com-
-1
memoration of this si:;:ral and happy event, were
urn., sc.& or spien,io,:r and ro.!,7,iiificeirce that pro+
rnisco e ery.gt ing complet i• of the Fete which'
h .3 since restiftvd.
At o'cl:,ck on Monday se'nnight, Sir DAVID
Peemelt. t. )e Pl scor'ol Cork; attended by a number
et. Genth n,--n of the firs,- distinction in the city., and
county of•Cork.einbatked :.app's Island cn board
barges prt.vid...Cl for the occa,ion, attended by the
band of the city of Cork regiment, add proceeded
from thence in Passa.,:te ; where breakfast and every
kind of refreshment, in the very first style of 'com-
fort and elegance, was prepared for .900 persons.
The Mayor was there joined by Lord Fosses,
Major-General Formes, Admiral SAWYER, the Mar
quis of THOMOND, &c. when they proceeded on their
excursion down the River, and as they passed the
men of war in the harbour, the yards were manned,
and every mark of respect paid the Chief Magistrate
of Cork, whose loyalty and liberal spirit were so con-
spicuous on the occasion. The polite attention of
Vice-Admiral SAWYER, and every officer under his
command, during the entire of the day, was most
marked and gratifying.
The Mayor then proceeded to the outward en-
trance of the harbour, and according to ancient cus-
tom, threw his dart into the sea, to mark the extent
et the corporate jurisdiction of the city of Cork. By
four o'clock in the afternoon the party•ha.l returned
to Cork, and about seven, nearly three hundred Gen-
tTemen sat doun to a most sumptuous entertainment,
at the Great Rooms, in George's street, provided by
the Mayor and Corporation. The dinner was of the
most exquisite kind—composed of turtle, sturgeon,
venison, &c. in great abundance, and the wines were
of the first growth, and most delicious.
Amongst the company were
The Marquis of Thomond, Lords Forbes, Doneraile, and Car'
bery, the lion. Mr. Hare, Sir Nicholas Colthurst, Sir Augustus
Warren, Vice Admiral Sawyer, and the Captains of the different
. men of war Od the Irish station, Major-General Forbes, Colonel
Fenwick, of the Engineers, Major Eveleigh, of the Royal Artil-
lery, and the entire of the Staff of the District.
• After.the health of our good old King had been
given, .Sir DAVID Peitsrett, in an elegant and appr.,-
print,. speech, briefly stated the happy event they had
that day met to celebrate, and concluded by propos-
ing the following toast :
g• The Glorious lit of August, 1714—the day which gave ste-
bility to our Constitution, by placing nn the Throne the illtii-
trious family of Brunswick, under whose wise and beneficent
sway this Empire has 3,taine4 its prtsent unprecedented height
of honour, prosperity, and renown."

Athough the Dnke of Y.,nes birth-day was cele-
brated by the QUERN, at Frogmore, instead of Oat-
lands, 'heir Royal Highnesses did not deprive their
domestics, both in town and at Oatlands, of their
annual entertainment to themselves and friends, con-
noting of a hall and a profusion of refreshments.
HAYMARKET THEATRE.—HOME'S tragedy of Doug-
las was last night. performed, and introduced Mrs.
MASON, of the Edinburgh Theatre, to a London
audience, in the character of Lady Ram/4A She
delivered the text, generally, with sense and propriety,
and her reception was, on the whole, very favourable.
MT. BARNARD'S Tourg A'orval wits occasionally distin-
guished by feeling and animaticn. The scene in which
he learns his origin, and his cont, ration with Gtmakoo,
displayed considerable talent —Mr. Tortav's Old Nor-
val was a good performance. in describing the as-
pect of the night on which he saved the son of Lady
Randrlph, he was uncommonly successful. The in-
teresting little narrative was delivered in a natural
and affecting style.—The tragedy was succeeded by
the new farce of Come and See ! which is now a de-
cided favourite with the town ; and the entertain-
ments concluded with Doctor .1P col Pocus ; whose ad-
herents, Messrs. MATHEWS and Tot( F.Lv, as Harlequin
and Scarawouch, kept the house, which was extremely
full, in a roar of laughter, until the curtain dropped.
LYCEUM THEATRE.—Last night, after the Opera
of Frederick the Great, the second performance of Har-
&quiet Hoax took place; and, as on the first represen-
tation, was received with bursts of laughter from the
commencement to the conclusion. A more entertain-
ing piece of the kind has perhaps never been pro-
duced; and its success cannot fail to be permanent.
GERMAN SUFFERERS.—The Committee for ma-
naging the affairs of the German Sufferers do not
relax in their exertions for our unfortunate Allies.
