A barbarous murder was committed on Black-
heath, late on Friday evening, or early on Saturday
morning. Some labourers, on going to their work,
perceived the body of a man, laying under the south
wall of Greenwich Park, very near the gate or door
leading to the Observatory. A pistol or musket-ball
seemed to have passed through his bead, but his
pockets were not rifled he was a servant out of place,
and had recently lived in the Paragon. It is conjec-
tured that the murderers had been frightened oft by
the approach of some persons, and had therefore left
the body without searching the pockets.

ROYAL filbilt.4klentiay morning the Royal Hunt took place
soon after tee o'clock, from Maidenbead-Thickett a very fine
dere was turned Out, which showed charming sport through the
woods towards the names between Conkham a id Marlow,
where he created the Thames in a very fine style and with great
swiftness up the MI, and from thence through the enclosures to-
wards Hith Wytemb, where he was taken after a day's excel-
lent sport. A number of sportsmen were thrown out. Some
bad above le miles to return home.
9trovLAa Pox Cu As 2.—A few days ago, as Mr. John Graham,
a young man, shoemaker, resident in Walton, Cumberland, was
at wort, he espied a full grown fox deliberately walking up the
road that Mods through the above village. Graham immediately
ram dews stairs after Reynard, who inuawly betaking himself to
tight, was followed by this modern Achilles, and a!etiough
cumbered with a pair of clogs, his aproo, and other appendages,
thee a desperate race, for several minutes, over ledges and
dkehea, dazing which he turned the animal many times, he suc-
ceeded in catching him, ind seizing him 'by the neck, held hint
np to Ma Mashhad companions. In passing through the village
'thetas leaped the wall of the church-yard. a height of feet,
without Womble, it, and was instantly tollowed by his swift-
footed peruser. Reynard was afterwards taken to Walton House,
where he now remains.

Friday, dean wail a stag hunt in the neighbourhood of CAI.
cheater, whia4 was uncommon!) well acceded by the Noblemen
and Gentlemen in the Neighbourhood. Alter a fineren us about
two miles, the stag fell lame, and was carped to Sir H Feather-
stone's, at Up-part.
An unfortunate accident happened to John► %War, El. of
Michell-grove, Sussex, a few der sinew. While hunting, and
in the act of leaping his horse over a fence, the animal fell, by.'
winch accident the rider had kis thigh broken.

BRIGUTON.—Monday morning, at tea o'cl•tck, the
PRINCE REGENT mounted his charger and rode to the
Barracks, accompanied by General BLOOMFIELD, itc.
where his Royal Highness inspected the 7th Hussars,
dismounted, and seemed pleased with the appear-
ance and conduct of the men Before twelve o'clock,
his Royal Highness crossed over the Church-hill, in
his route back to the town, ale.l from thence extznd-
ed his ride through several of t!ie principal streets. la
passiusup Middle-street, at a very g•-otle pave, his
/pa se gave a sudden plunge with him, in a lateral di-
rection, and his Royal Highness, for the instant,
seemed to have lost his seat ; happily, however, it was
tor the instant only, and though the animal continued
to plunge and rear, the Prince succeeded in mastering
him. His Royal Highness was h:tbiteJ in plata
clothes, with a brown great coat, and never appeared
in better health.

Sir SAMUEL RoMILLY has been seriously indispOsed
from a neglected cold. He was attacked by aain..
flammation on the chest ; but he is out of danger,
and in a fair way of recovei y.
Our letters from Paris are full of the arrest and
robbery of Lord OXFORD. It is quite idle to Affect
that it was not done by order of Government. At
the first post from Paris (Ville Juif), the Commissary
of Police, CA ItNINGE, had been in waiting ler him be-
tween three and four hours. On his approach :le ac-
costed him with great civility, and requested him to
alight from his carriage, as lie had an order to take
possession of his papers. T:N:Noble Lord remonstrated
against the violence, but in vain—he was obliged ,o de-
liver up all his papers. M. CARNIXOE then told him he
was at liberty to pursue his route to lialy, but the No-
ble Earl returned to Paris and made his complaint to
the Duke of WELtalloTo?l, but no red:ess wai given.
VariAus conjectures have been formed as to the cause
of this proceediug. It is known that the Noble Lord
was charged by King JOACHIM with a mission to
England, ao doubt, to set forth his pretensions to the
fulfillment of Vie engagement of ti our which was
entered into with him by Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK.
when his services and co-operation were considered by
the Allied Sovereigns as so material to the success of
their enterprize against NAPOLEON. He is known to
have demanded and obtained an audience of the
PRINCE REGENT at Brighton, as a Peer of the Realm,
and to have laid before his Royal Highness a. memo-
rial and documents, stating the confidence that MultAe
had in the hitherto unspotted honour of England—
and that his having trusted to her honour, and not
having the engagement reduced into the form of a SJ
lemn treaty, gave him additional claims to the exact
performance of the stipulations - and that the papers
were understood•further to set forth the immense ad-
vantages that would accrue, not merely to Italy itself,
but to England, from the arrangements which he had
in contemplation, and which, with the countenance of
England, would be forthwith carried into execution.
AU this is perfectly known. What reception he got,
or what answers the Noble Lord was carrying back,
is not known to the Public : but were they unknown
to the French Government:' Tnis has become the
subject of universal conversation in Paris, it is
of consequence here also: because if this seizure wsis
made without the concurrence of the E.nglis!i
bassador, it would bespeak a jealougy betvirce.i the
two Courts, not favourable to tranquillity. And it
is asked, what motive could the English have in this
proceeding, as they must already know the tenor of
all his papers ? The Noble Earl might have been
suspected (unjustly) to take charge- of letters from
Italians in Pat is, supposed to be in intelligence with
the Exile in Elba, and that it was the object of the
Police to discover their names. Certain it is, that
more than the ordinary precautions were taken in
Paris immediately afterwards. On the evening of
the 50th November the gates of the Thuilleries were
shut before the usual hour; ball-Cartridges were de-
livered out to the Guards, and they were kept in
readiness the whole night, as if some movement had
been expected, but all remained perfectly quiet.
Charlet Dchamel, the Frenchman lately committed
to Westgate gaol, C tnterbury, on a charge of utter-
ing forged Bank of England Notes, has been rrniov.
ed by writ of Halm: Corpus into the custody of the
Keeper of Maidstone gaol, in order that he may be
tried at the next Assizes for Kent.

CORN EXCHANGE, MARK•LANE, DECEMBER 7.

Our Market eastisues abundantly supplied with Wheat, fcr
which there is so little demand, that the sale was very limited.
and our prices nearly nominal: no considerable quan, ay could
be got off even at a reduction of from vs. to 45 per quarter. Bar-
ley is full Is. per quarter cheaper than on Monday. In Beans,
Peas, and other articles, there is no variation.—At the close of
Monday's Market, and after our statement of Monday's prises
was gone to the Press, the Flour Factors reduced the price of
Flour ss. per sack.

Dnuuy-LANE.—The Comedy of Rule a Wife aid
Haw a We, WAs last night represented to a very nu-
merous audience. The part of Leon was admirably
sustained by ELLISTON, and the Copper Cafttain of
BAN NisTrai was comic to the last degree —it was
equally free from extravagance, and equally. abun-
dant in spirit. Mrs. GLovaft displayed great merit
in Estifiraia, and the Play throughout was well acted.
The Ninth Statue followed, and was received with
marked approbation.
C N'llN*l'-GAIIDEN.—After the Play of The Moun-
taineers, in which Mr Kinatme supported the charac-
ter of Octavian with his usual 'ability, a new Farce,
called the King and the Dude; Or, Which is Which ? was
produced. The Fable of which is as follows :—The
King of Poland (Mr. JasEs) has by accident seen
/Mr: 1 Miss FooTE) the daughter of a Nobleman of
his Co,irt, and fallen deeply in love with her. Not
wishiag, lu to owe his success with her to his
rank, he disguises himself as a Colonel of Hussars,
and. Accompanied by Sigismund, his confidant, coo-
t, ives to get introduced to her father's castle. Here
he makes considerable progress its gaining the affec-
tions of the Lady under-his assumed character, when
his intentions are discovered by the old Count, who
having previously had proposals made to him for his
daughter by the Duke of Cala, a Polish Nobleman,
buys hose person is unknown to him, orders the sup-
posed C. lonel and his friend to quit his house. The
Kiag, ender these circumstances, determines to as-
sume the character of his rival, the Duke of Cale: ;
and" having accidentally dropped his handkerchief, on
which :s a cor met, it is picked up by the old Count,'
and serves to aid his deception. His addresses under
his assumed character, are encouraged by the Count,
when a new obstacle is thrown in his way by the
arrival of the real Duke of Cates, who, on hearing that
the King had Assumed his character, determines to
assume that of the King. This introduces some ex-
treinely entettainiog r.quivociaes, the effects'of which
are heightened by the embarrassment of the old Count,
who, having previously strongly insisted on his
daughter's marrying the supposed Duke, now as
strongly insists on her giving up the Duke for the pre-
tcirJed King. An explanation in the mean time takes
place between the King and the Duke, in which it
is agreed that each shall retain his assumed character,
and try his fortnne with the Lady, whose choice shall
determine. The choice of the Lady falls upon the
supposed Duke, Who, as soon as that choice is de-
cared, assumes his real rank, and the piece concludes
'By the marriage of Alicia to the Ki.rg, who reconciles
the Duke to Isis disappointment, by heaping upon bins
honours and promotions in profusion.
This trifle is said to 'be a translation front the
french.—From whatever source it Rows the author
need not blush to acknowledge his bantling. We
have no hesitation in declining it to be, in our opinion,
the most spirited After-piece which has been pro.
dnced for some Seasons past. The plot is good, the
dialogue spirited, and the interest of the Piece is kept
alive throughout. The Performs also exerted them-
selves to the utmost. Jam-, as the King—.A.rosoil.,
as the Duke—and TEURY, as the old Count,-priding
himselt on his skill in diplomacy, and his keenness in
discovering plots—each elicited considerable and de-
served applause from the audience.. Miss FOOTE,
as Alicia, was highly interesting. The piece was
'given out for repetition this-evening without a single
dissentient voice. • -
We hear, with satisfaction, that that Celebrated ac-
tress Miss NORTON) formerly of Covent Garden Thea-
tre, and late of the Birmingham Theatre, has been
engaged at the Theatre Royal, Dublin, and has met
with unbounded approbation in the following charac-
ters :—Jane Shore—Miss Peggy, in the Country Girt
Juliana, in the/bitty Moon—.: etitia Hardy, in the Belle's
Stratag_em, and the Unknown Female, in the Found/iv
igr the Forest. . .

A dreadful accident occurred yesterday afternoon,
et AsTa.Ev's Amphitheatre, Westminster Bridge.—
STEVemsaN, a respectable saddler, in Bridge-row.
near the Marsh Gate, Lambeth, who has worked for
Mr. AsTun' for many years, went about half past
one o'clock to inspect the saddles, &c. and as be was
crossing the court-yard leading to the' stables, Mr..
PARKER, one of the proprietors, who was' feeding the
flyi,og stag which performed last season, called to him
to alter the collar he made in the summer for the stag.
as it was thought to hurt his neck, but cautioned him
as to going wear the stag, it being very savage. Mr.
6TemsoN said he would not hurt him, and imme-
diateiy approached him, when, we are sorry to add,
the stag pinijned him in the corner of his stall, and
gored him in so dreadful a manner, that he only sur-
vived about five minutes.
One dollar's worth of the !teem. rATENT Awn-

tour-wheel carriage to ran well for at leait the space

the carriage moves mere smoothly.
