GRAPES.IND, AUGUST 15.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Camanitqaa
sailed this day for Ostend. Several of the suite of his
Royal Highness slept last night at the White Hart
Tavern, in this town, and this morning every prepa-
ration was made for the Duke's reception, whose ar-
rival was announced about half-past eleven o'clock
by a Royal salute from the gun-lines, which was an-
swered by a discharge from the artillery at Tilbury
Fort. The yards of the Royal Sovereign yacht and
of the Hasty gun-brig were immediately manned,
and the barge, having the Royal Standard flying,
received his Royal Highness at the Nei Tatters
Bridge, in which he was conveyed, amidst the ac-
clamations of a great number of persons, on board of
the yacht, conducted by Captain Sir EDWARD Benne ;
on his arrival on board, the Royal Standard was hoist-
ed at the main, and a salute of 21 guns fired from the
Harry. His Royal Highness's Sotte followed ; and
at half after twelve o'clock the yacht was under weigh,
under a second salute from Tilbury Fort.
The two travelling carriages and a curricle be.
longing to his Royal Highness, were embarked on
board of the HASTY, which soon followed theyacht.
The wind has been so favourable, that there can be
no doubt of the Duke's landing at Ostend early to-
morrow.

The Lords of the Admiralty, and The Navy
Board, left town this morning for Chatham, to ir.-
spect the Dock-yard.
The GOLDFINCH, Captain WALLER; which arrived
at Plymouth on Friday se'nnipAst, frith a convoy
from Bourdeaux, received the unpleasant information
from the ROYALIST sloop of war, Captain PHILLIPS,
on her passage, that the Americans are in possession
of our private signals. While cruising she observed
a large sloop of war, which on being telegraphed
signified in answer that she was the WANDERER, and
desired the ROYALIST to close. On doing so, tha
ROYALIST made her out to be an enemy, and gave
chace, but without effect. Some are of opinion that
the private signals were not destroyed on board the
REINDEER previous to her striking, while others, witls
more probability, conceive that the Americans have
obtained them through some private traitors in this
country.
The Neptune, LUISA*, from Porto Rico, arrived
off the Wright on Sunday, spoke, on the Sunday pre-
,eeding, his Majesty's ship ACIAR, with a fleet from
Cork far Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, &c. about 4t)

By acc,,unts from St. Michael's to the 7th ultimo,
the following American privateers prit into different
ports of tl•.e Avaes, and ik en supplied with provisions,
&c. for a month, viz.—The I'ike, Yankee, General
Armstronp, Kemp, and the Livawtt. The two latter
were blockading the port of Peril, and prevented
two. English vessels, laden with wine, from sailing for
their destination. _ _ _

The MArgatet, RICHARDS, from New Providonew
to Bermuda, was captured the and of May. by the
Jamei Monro, American schooner letter of marque,
from L'Orient, bound to New York, and after being
plundered was given up. She was again taken and
plundered a few days After, by the Perry. American
schooner privateer, and arrived at &rim& 31st May.
Sunday se'anight the Resolution, ol Curligan,
hum% master, sailed from Ayr, and having living
a leak, foundered near Larn‘sh. The crrw with dif•
ficulty got into. the boat, and landed next day at
Troon.
The John, JACKSON, arrived at Greenock on Friday,
from Greenland,. a full ship. On the 17th ultimo, in

lat. 69. SO. N. long. 2. 48. E. spoke the Tyler, Smith,
from Havre-de-Grace, bciund to Archangel, out one

Captain KENNEtf, of the Venus of Irvine, which
was captured by the Peacock, states, that the Stran.
ger, Captain Louden, was the first prize that the Pea.
cock made, and that Captain Louden and the crew
landed on the Western Islands.

Some communications brought by the East-India
fleet reached.us yesterday, and the trading intelligence
is very satisfactory. It is true that the ships were de.
tamed some months on account of a difference with the
Chinese Minister, the circumstances of which should be
explained. Mr. Russet. having been appointed to treat
in a principal commercial capacity with dte native
agents. his nomination was objected to, and a message
sent to Mr. ELPIIINSTOIII4 desiring him to wait on the
Viceroy : the latter -would nut condescend to cnosplp
with this notice. but returned for answer that he was at
home and should be happy to receive the Viceroy, if
his Highness should wish for an interview. The busi-
ness was, as we understand, to procure the substitution
of another Officer in the room of Mr. Russm.. During
the time that this disagreement subsisted, Mr. Russ=
died, and itwas supposed that this accident would have
removed the difficulty, but the British Authorities in-
sisted that the appointment of that Gentleman should
be formally recognized, and that he should be declared
by the Chinese Government to have been a fit person
to have fulfilled the duties he had been selected to dis-
charge. With this requisition the native Functionaries
complied, but' all subjects of controversy were not
then removed, and it seems that they required us to
be responsible for their hiss of trade by the war with
America. The Chinese Minister said it brief terms,
that the Americans brought dollars for produce, that
they espended a large sum, that their profit was con-
siderable, that this profit was lost to the State, and
that the British, who kept them away, must remune-
rate the Government for this loss. It is scarcely ne-
cessary to observe, that this applicitionv as ineffectual.
&team—This day the Loan MAYOR ordered the
price to advance one penny in the peck-loaf-.40 take
place on Thursday—.the price of tile quartm loaf will
then be One Shilling.

" The AdmirOGenerai Baron de -Puke reports,'
shat at eleven o'cloCk on the niorn.ng of the 26th, he
set•sail with the whole; fleet, in order to attack the
enemy's.flotilla, stationed-in the islands of Hvalo.—
The enemy she%ved himself .in order of battle, no
doubt for the purpose of reconnoitring our tinces.
Variable or contrary windssi tollowed by a calm, and
above 111;a current extreniely strong in those parts,
prevented out vessels frosts advancing, and obliged'
them to exit anchOr. In the night the enemy's gun-
boats retired into the Arihipeligo between the islands
of. Hialoond Frederikstadt. if they had not been
able to -enter that port, they would in all probability
have taken refuge on the other side of the • gull, in
Tonaberg and Frederiksvarn, and then they would
have beenininsediately attacked. '
".Thus the.first operation of the Norwegians has
• been to abandon, without fighting, a position (that
of the isles of Hfalo) which they thought impregna-
ble, at the very sight of our fleet, and which was re-
garded in the country as the palladium of Norway.
This flight will, without doubr, have a great effect
tt)son the public opinion. The spirit that animates
the officers and crews of our fleet is such, that had
the enemy offered any resistance, these could be no
doubt that the victory would have been complete.
" Our troops under the orders of .Major-General
G.'Morner' occupy the islands of Hvalo, the key of
the Guiph of Christiania. Colonel Hay has made a
descent on the island of North Sando; Colonel D,:-
skoldebrand in that of South Sando; Major Hay
in the island of Hertode. The enemy has lett many
of his effects, and has ease several cannon into the
sea The inhabitants seem content and happy at
atitig their stitferings terminate. They accuse the
rich and powerful turn of the country of having beer
the cause of 'all the evils which threaten the country..
?he island of Kragtio,•situated at the entrance of the
ddrf of Fietrerickstddl, wilt be attacked to-morrowe
.the mean time, the enemy's flotilla tontines 111-1

• St bsequent to the abave occurrences, there are
alsei said to be letters in town of the list instant from
Gottenburgh, stating, that a successful attack was
made on the Island ut Kreger() on the ‘i9th ult. ; the
Swedes hiving destroyett the ,Norwegian flotilla, add
taken twenty of their gun-boats.
ORDER 011 THE PAY.

•6 The Prince koyal reminds the army that in
combating the tactions and foreigners, who only seek
the misery of Norway, the Swedes are not making
war upon the Norwegians. To them the army owes
good-will and protection : their property is put under
sate•guard of its loyalty and good discipline. The
Generals of Division are personalty responsible for
any infraction of this order; 111 intiaction which will
be .equally contrary to the honour of the Swedish

Extiact of a letter from Mr. Count., of Mogadore,
to Mr. Roma Minoan, of the Audit Office,' So.
mereet-place, May 15, 18i141:
•' A Moor, arrived this clay from Houssa, inform.
ed me that with a large. caravan, with which he left
Titnbuctoo, there were three Christians, who have
been niany years in the interior of Africa ; that he
travelled in company with them six days, and•sepa-
rated front them about.7ll days since, the caravan
raking thie.route to Tuart, and himself, with it part
of it, to Totta ; that the caravan would probably go
near Tunis or Algiers. That the three persons ap-
peared above the class of sailors, and were not slaves,
but free to go with the caravan as the other travellers
were ; they had with them some papers, writings,
and drawings. •
46 These people, the Moor says, went up the Nile
or Niger, in a small vessel, and, were stopped ; that
originally their number was much greater, but they
had died at Housia, or elsewhere ; and that the
King, or principal mart at Houssas bad put the three
Christians under the protection of a person of nine in
the caravan, with directions to take them to Tint-
buctoo, and from thence to send them by some cara-
van, so that they might reach their own country.
•' This account is extraordinary, as all enquiry
about Mr. PARK has long ceased here. The map
could have no possible motive for inventing ;Lich a
story ; and if he did invent it, it is remarkable that
he should invent a story so nearly describing, in many
particulars, Mr. PARK and his companions."

Rurr AT CIIKRSURGH.—The inhahitants had for a
long time been impressed with an idea that a great
shipment of corn was about to take place for Eng-
land, and on Satur,tay sennight, the number of Eng-
lish vessels having much increased, they became very
tuibulent. Atter assaulting the English in the 'Rivets,
they proceeded on board the English vessels, maim-
ing the crews, and throwing every thing overboard-.-
rigs, sheep, poultry, &c. They also got on board
some smugglers, many of whose kegs they threw into
the water, and the test they got on shore, which,
with what live stock reached the shore they took up
the country ; they then attacked the English Hotel,
kept by Mr. Robbins, the whole of whoserwindows
they demolished, and proceeded to destroy the house,
at which time a guard of SOO soldiers arriving, they
contented themselves with assaulting every one who
had the least appearance of being English. The
Gentleman who favoured us with these particulars,
was repeatedly spat at, and large stones were thrown
at him—two English Ladies, in particular, he ob-
served severely maltreated, the better part of their
clothes being torn from their bodies--which our
countrymen could not resent, the popular tray being
so high. The next day (Sunday) the riot was at its
height, which wax excited by two more English ves-
sels arriving from Weymouth. Upon their first ap-
proach, they armed themselves with large stones, and
when the vessels entered the mouth of the harbour,
which is so narrow that it only admits of one at a
time, they lined the steep shores on each side, and
commenct'd a violent attack with the stones by which
the crews received some very violent contusions. The
symptoms now became so alarming that all the Eng-
lish on shore were obliged to shelter themselves in
sncli houses as were guarded by the military, and the
whole of the English in the harbour, got underweigh
with an intention of proceeding to sea, but a stronger
guard arriving, order was restored, after apprehend-
, tag about 200 of the mob. The same Gentleman
took an opportunity of visiting the Naval Yard at
Cherburgh : on the stocks were one 120 gun ship,
two 74's, and two frigates, in an apparent forward
' state. but at present fc artizans are at work.

ritz PAIGII7OI+I PESTI PAL. •

BRIGHTON, AUGUST 13.

Yesterday being the birth-day of our illustrious be-
refactor the PRIVC6 REGENT, and the day appointed
for the general entertainment of the poor of this place,
the morn was ushered in with the ringing of bells,
and the British fl ig Is aved on the venerable tower of
the parish church. As early as ten o'clock waggons,
carts, and caravans, crowded with live stock, men,
women, and children, from adjacent parts, poured
Mos the town in all directions, dressed in .heir lioli•
day fineries, to witne.s the promised fest;vities, and
to share in Uninviting hilarities of the day. Soon
after eleven the remnant of the 3d Buffs, remaining
here, repaired to the summit of the Lewes Doer's
where they were met by the 56th infantry, the 10th
end 18th Royal Hussars, and a troop or two of the
Flying Artillery ; a Royal salute and fre-deoye then
followed, the explosions from the field-pieces being
heard here, and which were answered by a Royal
salute from our thundering 42-pounders on the fort.
At this time the animated picture which the level pre-
sented was in the highest degree interesting. From
the town, and branching tam every street, nook,
and cranny, the populace were in motion fur the
Prince's criCketing ground, where 6.5 double-lows of
tables were formed, each in an oblong square, open
at the bottom only, and each adapted for the ac-
commodation of 122 persons. These were furnished
in a plentiful manner, with the true old English fare
of roast-beef and plum-pudding, garnished with a
suitable number ot hogsheads filled with ale and
brown stout, at convenient, distances, well guarded
from indiscriminate attacks, and giving an air of hos-
pitable importance to the whole. At each table a
President was appointed, with six assistants, under.
the domination of Stewards—the former wore white
sashes, with the inscription, 41 Brighton Festival,"
and the latter purple and white favours, bearing the
number of the table at which they were to officiate,
affixed tp the left breast.
At two o'clock, every thing being in complete
Order for the general attack with knives and forks, a
bugle was sounded from the table, No. 1, at which
presided the Vicar, and who, the instant after, pro-
nounced the following benediction :
' " 0 Thou who art the great GOD of Nations, thou bast filled
our hearts with joy, by the restoration of Peace and the prospect
of plenty ; we meet under the canopy of Heaven as members of
thy Fancily. May this Festival be crowned with Iby blessi.:g,
and may our lives express the gratitude which Thy goodness in-
spire*, for the sake of Jesus (Juana our Loito.—Amen."
This was repeated by the High Constable at the
tower table, and by the Presidents of the tables seve-
i,ally. The scene now became a busy one ; the car-
irers had full employment, for in addition to the Ma-
ediate guests at their tables, hundreds of welll-1
spectators pressed respectfully forwards, and
Solicited a taste of the viands which had been so boun-
tifully provided, and in which all were gratified, fat
there was enough, and to spire, for that awl every
other: purpose. • •
On the right hand of the Rev. President sat a paw
per, Phcehe Hassel, in the 99th year of her age. In
the early part et her life, in consequence of a love at-
fair, she listed, in disguise, into a marching regiment,
and Served in Germany lot -seven yeas. She walked
*to the ground with the apparent vigour ot a wonia.,
not more than titty years old. The Earl of Ch:chester
snook halos ind conversed with her for Some time.
Poor old Phoebe, on this occasion, was an interesting
object, and several presents, in silver and pound notes,
found their way to her, from the opulent and enquir-
ing parts of the crowd.
The sound of the second bugle, from the table
No. 1, h tying announced, amidst full stomachs and
smiling times %striver-solo!, the &neer at an end, the
Vicar again rose, and delivered the following Grace :
" Merciful F. tier, cur grate ul hearts acknowledge Thy
goodness. may Chanty ever asst the poor, and the poor comes,
their calcine obligations into 1 hie as the bount.tut giver Ot ali
thcir tsce sings, 'hough Jist. s %.:14 star our Loan—Amen."
• The succession of toasts at an end, the tables be
came p.ircially deserted, and v,rious rings and hor
Lox squares were formed for the merry dance, and
three and other amusements were soberly pursued
through the remainder ye the day.
In the evening two or three :mall balloons were let
off upon the ground, one of which ascended to a to
height, when it seated the fate of the others,
took fire, and was consumed.
It was a happy thought, and a liberal proceeding
of Mr. Colbatch, solicitor, who was the President et
one table, to distribute gifts, wen as snuff-boxes ot
japanned tin, pocket knives, rings, &c. to the female'
part of his guests, as mementos of what had then oc-
curred ; while Mr. Trotter gave gallery orders to the,
whole of the cheerful tho.ng about Inns for the Thea-
tre,
as an agreeable close to the day. It was with
difficulty the latter Gentleman escaped being borne
from the scene of mirth in a chair, upon the shoulderi
of the populace. In the evening, therefore, as was to
be. expected, the Pit and Gallery ot the Theatre were
pretty well crowded, and where tirod save the King,
verse and chorus, made part ot the performances. In
the town, the houses of the Pt ince Regent's trades-
people were illuminated ; good order and the symp-
toms of hilarity went hand in hand throughout the
night ; and the recollections of yesterday are among
the happiest rewards of to-day.'

JAMES Wm, EQ.—This philanthropic character
quitted Swansea on Sunday evening last, after dis-
playing a degree of active benevolence almost incre-
dible. He completely clothed about 250 boys resid
ing in the town and neighbourhood, at an expense of
£530 10s. and most of them received likewise small
sums of money. To many distressed families and
individuals he gave from one to twenty pounds each ;
to our two Lancasterian Schools he contributed £lO
each. He left £5O with the Rev. Mr. Oldisworth,
to be distributed among the poor Oysterrnouth :
and on Saturday la►t he went into Gower, where he
selected fifty boys, whom he ordered to be clothed,
And lett with Mr. Nunn £75 for charitable purpo,es,
besides giving himself small sums to distressed objects,
whose wretchedness elicited compassion from his feel-
ing heart. To our knowledge, he expended in the
short space of twelve days, that he resided here, no less
than sixteen hundred pounds, in clothing the naked, teed-
Mg the hungry, and relieving the necessities of s:veral
hundreds of his fellow creatures.

CAROLINA CRIMINAL CODE.—At the last May Ses-
sions, in ChatUsten, ✓ames Hutton, for killing a negro,
